introduction
We unfolded the entire Three Kingdoms, throughout Zhuge Liang's life, there were only two tears, Liu Bei avenged Guan Yu, ventured into the middle plan, was burned by The Wu State Lu Xun for seven hundred miles, and gave Zhuge Liang a lonely position in the White Emperor City! In the face of Liu Bei's dying words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shed tears for the first time!
Zhuge Liang's second tear was to tear up and cut off the horse! According to common sense, as a place of contention for soldiers who decide the outcome of the Northern Expedition, the loss of the street pavilion is a matter that affects the grand plan of the thousand autumns, and it will be beyond reproach to behead the lord, but Zhuge Liang is still very reluctant in his heart!
From this, the position of Ma Mo in Zhuge Liang's heart can be seen!

The street kiosk was lost, Ma Mo bore the insult of the first generation, and Zhao Kuo became one of the few negative teaching materials in history! It can be described as a disaster for eternity!
But
Is the loss of the kiosk just the fault of Ma Chen?? Didn't Zhuge Liang's use of people when he joined the army and became a general?

Battle of the Street Kiosk
Background to the war
In 226 (the seventh year of the wei huangchu and the fourth year of Shu Jianxing), the Wei Emperor Cao Pi died, and the crown prince Cao Rui took the throne, causing domestic turmoil and emptiness in Guanzhong. The next year, the restless heart of the Wei general Meng Da also began to stir, and Zhuge Liang's underground work was in full swing, and finally reached an agreement between the two sides and two flights. Meng Da's opponent Shen Yi discovered their small moves and was not happy, so he reported to the imperial court that when Meng Da was preparing to rebel, Sima Yi came out again to make trouble, and while he was repairing the road, he also secretly chen cang, causing the situation that would not be very stable if the Wei state did not come!
Zhuge Liang looked at it, didn't this mean that heaven had given himself an opportunity to "set the Central Plains in the North and revive the Han Room"? Therefore, Zhuge Liang held the desire to settle the world in a war and began the Northern Expedition against the State of Wei!

Street Kiosk Controversy
In the spring of 228 AD, Zhuge Liang ordered his troops on the battlefield, and the soldiers pointed directly at Cao Wei. Zhao Yun, the general of Zhendong, and Deng Zhi, the general of Yangwu, led the troops to guard the Jigu Valley and used them as suspects, while Zhuge Liang personally led a large army to attack Qishan, and the momentum could not be described as huge! Indeed, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 35, Shu Shu V, and Zhuge Liang's Biography No. 5 also recorded the Northern Expedition that shook Guanzhong:
In the spring of the sixth year, Yang Sheng took the yao from Xiegu Road, making Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi suspicious, and according to Jigu, the Wei general Cao Zhen rejected it. Liang Led the armies to attack Qishan, Rong Chen was neat, rewarded and punished and ordered Ming, the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding rebelled against Wei Yingliang, and Guanzhong resounded.
Street Pavilion, also known as Street Spring Pavilion, is in present-day Qin'an County, Tianshui. The terrain of the street pavilion is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the entrance can be taken in the middle, the retreat can defend the land of Long right, and there have been many large-scale wars in the street pavilion in history, which is an important military stronghold in history and a place where soldiers and families must fight!
Of course, it is also a must-fight place for both sides of Wei and Shu in this Northern Expedition War!

Variables of the Northern Expedition
As we all know, Zhuge Liang's strict rule of the army, coupled with the overall deployment of this Northern Expedition, can be said to be very perfect, basically impeccable! If there is no accident, this Northern Expedition War is not suspenseful, and it should end with the victory of the Shu Kingdom!
However, there is no if in history, and there were still two accidents in this Northern Expedition War!
The first accident: Meng Da and others who had promised to rebel against Wei and respond to Zhuge Liang were embarrassed to protect themselves because of Sima Yi's turmoil, let alone raise troops to help Zhuge Liang!
The second accident: Yue Yue Tai Shou Ma Mo, join the army and become the main general! Regarding Zhuge Liang's use of this general, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 39, Shu Shu 9, Dong Liu Ma, Chen Dong Lü Biography Ninth, is recorded as follows:
In the sixth year of Jianxing, Liang sent an army to Qishan, and there were sometimes generals Wei Yan and Wu Yi, and the commentators all said that it was appropriate to take Ling as the vanguard, while Liang violated the crowd and unified the masses in front
There is a special word in this, which is "disobedience"! That is to say, for Zhuge Liang to use Ma Mo as a pioneer, everyone disagrees, that is, it is Zhuge Liang's willful will!
Ma Mo led the expedition
The talent of The Horse
In fact, regarding Ma Chen's talent, it is undeniable that there is real talent and practical learning! The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 39, Shu Shu 9, Dong Liu Ma Chen Dong Lü Chuan Ninth, records Ma Chen's talent as follows:
Ma Liang character Ji Chang, Xiangyang Yicheng people also. There are five brothers, and they have a talented name, and the township proverb says: "Ma's five constants, the white eyebrows are the best." ”
Therefore, Qianluojun recognizes that Ma Chen's talent is definitely a momentary talent, but Qianluojun believes that talent is not equal to talent!
Talent is only a theory, talent is the result of the need to pass through countless times of practice!
Ma Mo first followed Liu Bei as an engaged person, and then did the county order and Taishou. Although Ma Mo likes to talk about military strategy, at best, he can only be regarded as a theoretical talent who has never seen the world! If you do it, you won't necessarily do it! The Zizhi Tongjian Volume 71 records Liu Bei's dying evaluation of Ma Chen:
"Horse rumors are exaggerated and cannot be of great use, but they should be observed!' 'Liang is not the case, and he joins the army with a rumor, and every time he introduces and talks about it, he goes from day to night.
From the above evaluation, it can be seen that Liu Bei has reservations about Ma Chen's talent evaluation. However, as Liu Bei's top think tank, Zhuge Liang was indeed obstinate in his attitude towards Ma Chen, and there is no other special reason for this situation, there is no evidence in history! If there really isn't another particular reason, then:
Qianluojun can only say that this is probably what people often say, "The wise man must have a mistake in a thousand worries"; or really want to cultivate a material that can be created!
The White Emperor City is a lonely hall
Horse Mo Lost Street Kiosk
As a horse who joined the army, he should have sat firmly in the Middle Army, advised the commander-in-chief, and strategized! However, because of Zhuge Liang's strength, he became the main general with military power, and fought against the troops of Cao Wei's general Zhang Guo against Jieting!
Not surprisingly, Ma Mo was defeated, and the defeat was very thorough! As a result, the entire Northern Expedition was completely defeated, and Zhuge Liang's main forces had to withdraw. A huge Northern Expedition ended!
As for the reason for the defeat of the street kiosk, history has long been conclusive! The records in the Zizhi Tongjian are also only a few words:
Rumors violate the brightness of the festival, the measures are annoying, the water is up the mountain, not the stronghold of the city. Zhang Zhiqi drew the road, struck, broke it, and the soldiers scattered. Liangjin had no basis, and more than a thousand families in Basi County returned to Hanzhong. Take him to jail and kill him. Liang came to the sacrifice, wept for it, caressed his loneliness, and lived a peaceful life.
Even Zhuge Liang took a stance after the war:
The great army in Qishan and Jigu is more than a thief, and those who cannot break the thief are broken by the thief, then the disease is not in the army, but in the ears of one person.

Obviously, all pots have the name of The Horse Mot on them!
The defeat of the overall situation was caused by Ma Mo alone, because he did not follow Zhuge Liang's advance plan of "camping near the mountains and waters, being cautious and careful, and not making mistakes", temporarily changed the garrison plan, abandoned the plan of camping under the mountain, stationed the army on the mountain, and was cut off by Zhang Gao of the water source, cut off the grain route, and finally almost destroyed the whole army!
Ma Mo was defeated and beheaded
summary
Is the defeat of the street kiosk really just the fault of Ma Mo alone?
Qian Luojun believes that this defeat really can't just let Ma Mo carry the pot alone!
Is there really no fault in Zhuge Liang's use of military personnel in a hurry?
Qianluojun thinks: Maybe there is, maybe not! Yes and no, yes or no!
Because;
1. Maybe Zhuge Liang feels that he is old, the literati and military generals that can be used by the Shu state group are also old, Zhuge Liang's "disobedience to the masses" should also want to cultivate talents, maybe the Shu kingdom can not afford to cultivate really not much, Zhuge Liang is also helpless!
2. Ma Mo should also be in danger, as for changing Zhuge Liang's scheduling plan, there should be a last resort! Those who can give Zhuge Liang the "Seven Captures of Meng" strategy will not fail to see the risks on the Tunbing Mountain, and as for the specific reasons, we do not know!
The long river of history rolls forward, leaving behind the feelings of our descendants!
What we can do is to use history as a mirror! Lessons from the past, masters of the rear cars!
Strengthen yourself and serve the motherland!
