No one's life is perfect, and in the life that everyone goes through, they always have no intention of doing something that makes them regret it later, but at that time they think they are perfect! Mr. Lu Xun will be ashamed of his "small thing", and Ms. Yang Dai will be full of regrets because of "a lucky person, the shame of the unfortunate".
Looking back at history, Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period also made many mistakes, and as a decision-maker in a troubled world, he participated in the formulation of many orders that could affect the lives of others. The key thing is that he directly or indirectly led to the death of three great generals of the Shu Kingdom, all three of whom were "promising talents" of the Shu Kingdom, and if these people did not die, the Shu Han might be able to dominate the world. So who are these three people?
Liu Bei's poor "righteous son" Liu Feng
Liu Feng was Liu Bei's righteous son who had first come to Jingzhou to adopt. In his twenties, he followed Liu Bei around to fight, winning more and losing less. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he was given the title of Lieutenant General of the Vice Army, with a promising future, and he laid his own meritorious achievements in the war over the years, it can be said that he was Liu Bei's "Qilin Er".
However, his identity was very embarrassing, because he was only Liu Bei's adopted righteous son, and the person who could really accept Liu Beijiangshan was his parent Liu Chan, but after Liu Chan was born, Liu Feng was still very loyal to Liu Bei and fought for him.
But Liu Feng died a very regrettable death, and it can even be said to be humiliating. As a general, he did not die on the battlefield of fighting the enemy, but died under Zhuge Liang's thoughts that "sealing the strong and fierce, it will be difficult to control the emperor after the Yi Dynasty", just a simple thinking, killed a general with a bright future.
At that time, Guan Yu had just been killed, and the two generals who were supposed to rescue Guan Yu, Liu Feng, meng Da found an excuse to rush there. Moreover, after Guan Yu's death, Meng Da also defected to the State of Wei, and all kinds of past events, coupled with Zhuge Chengxiang's "deep foresight", Liu Feng died in this way.
"Only to solve the battlefield for the death of the country, why should the ma ge wrap the body back" This is the desire of many soldiers to make meritorious achievements and be loyal to the country! The same was true of Liu Feng, who was eager to establish a meritorious deed for his righteous father Liu Bei and sacrifice himself for the unification of the Shu kingdom, and if he did not die, on the occasion of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, it would be a sharp knife that would be fiercely inserted into the enemy army.
The "Zhao Kuo" of the Three Kingdoms period - Ma Mo
We know that Zhao Kuo is a man of letters, and the head of the talk about military strategy and the art of war is the Tao, but in fact, his actual combat experience is zero, and he has never been on the battlefield.
Ma Mo is the same, Ma Mo is even much stronger than Zhao Kuo in terms of strategy, he and Zhuge Liang are "confidants", the history books say that Zhuge Liang and him talk day and night, close relations, but it is also because of this close relationship, led to Zhuge Liang's failure in the Battle of Jieting, the first Northern Expedition to the Central Plains declared over.
"Wuhou defeated the street pavilion, and Ma Mo violated moderation." Soldiers are very different, big and small are things. This poem by the Ming Dynasty poet Xu Wei is a good explanation of the reasons for the defeat at the Battle of Jieting, and also explains the shortcomings of Ma Chen.
Ma Mo can be said to be a "promising talent" of the Shu Han military staff officers, and it was he who proposed to Zhuge Liang the strategy of "using the way of soldiers and attacking the heart first" to attack the southern barbarians, and it can be said that he was also a military commander who Zhuge Liang would be aware of in the future. However, a good commander must be an excellent soldier who has personally experienced the battlefield or commanded the battle and survived, and ma Mo, what he lacks the most, is actual combat experience.
This was the first crucial battle of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the street pavilion must not be lost. He looked at the various generals in the military tent, including Experienced Generals such as Wei Yan and Wang Pingping, but he chose Ma Chen, a war white with zero actual combat experience.
As the saying goes, "the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first", the street pavilion is as important as Yuan Shao in Wuchao, Zhuge Liang did not let a heavy general in the old city garrison, but quickly let the representative of the younger generation take the position, if Ma Mo guarded the street pavilion, he could carry this glory to succeed Zhuge Liang, but he failed, failing to live up to Zhuge Liang's cultivation of him.
Zhuge Liang also failed, and his desire for speed was not reached, and he was too hasty to hope that Ma Mo could grow up, but he lost to Zhang Guo, one of the four famous generals in Hebei.
After decades of war, this experienced and well-versed general saw at a glance that Ma Mo's "talking on paper" kung fu had cut off his water source and caused him to lose.
As a result, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to "slash Ma Mo with tears", and in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" recorded by Chen Shou, Ma Mo was eventually imprisoned and died in prison because of his defeat at the street pavilion. However, in the final analysis, he still died under the reality that Zhuge Liang "wanted to be fast but could not be reached" and his own paper talk, and the war experience was almost zero.
It is said that the general Wei Yan "has anti-bones"
Wei Yan was also a famous general of the Shu state, when Liu Bei was there, he was also named the Marquis of Southern Zheng, the general of Zhenbei, whether he had a backbone or not, no one knows, the wind and sand of history covered up too many secrets and truths, as a generation of famous generals, his death was very miserable, the corpse was separated, and even the relatives of the three tribes were wiped out.
Why did the generation of famous players end up like this? Looking at history, it is still because of the old saying that "character determines destiny". It turned out that although Wei Yan was a famous general of a generation, he was very proud of himself, and often looked down on people.
In the autumn of the 12th year of Jianxing, this was Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition, and it was also the time of his death, he discussed with the civilian generals around him, decided to retire, reserve troops for Shu Han, and save a hope of the Northern Expedition for the future, and decided to send Wei Yan Jiang Wei and others to break the queen.
However, as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Wei Yan had a dispute with Yang Yi, a civilian official who was discussing with Zhuge Liang at that time, and even blamed each other and plotted rebellion. However, because Wei Yan's relations with officials were not harmonious in peacetime, the ruling faction at that time unanimously believed that Yang Yi's statement was correct, and Wei Yan plotted rebellion.
In this way, Wei Yan was unable to command the troops in the battle with Yang Yi, was abandoned by the soldiers, defeated Hanzhong with himself and his son, and was chased and killed by Ma Dai, and a generation of famous generals died in this way. Because Zhuge Liang did not discuss clearly with the civilian generals before his death, it triggered a civil unrest in the future, and even caused the death of a generation of famous generals Wei Yan, which is how unfortunate it is!
summary
Liu Feng, Ma Mo, and Wei Yan were all promising talents, and after a period of experience, two of them could even stand alone and reduce the burden on Zhuge Liang.
As the saying goes, those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule people. Zhuge Liang was an excellent politician, but he was not a qualified military strategist and a handsome man, who did not understand the change of power and had to do everything himself, which caused him to accumulate fatigue and die on the road of the Northern Expedition.
And on the fundamental reason for the death of these talents, it is probably Zhuge Liang's own suspicious personality! Although Zhuge Liang was resourceful, he never saw himself and others clearly and regretted it.
