Zhuge Liang is a symbol of wisdom, he bowed down to the Shu kingdom and died, and spent his life fighting for the development of the Shu Han. Everything he did was purposeful, and everyone he killed had a reason, such as Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang was afraid that Wei Yan would rebel against the Shu state in the future, so he was wary of him everywhere.
For Wei Yan's death, the audience felt very sorry, if Wei Yan did not die, maybe he could still negotiate with Cao Wei for a long time. Everyone may think that the person Zhuge Liang should not kill the most is Wei Yan, in fact, in addition to Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang also has two fierce generals who have to be eliminated, if these two people are alive, the late Shu Kingdom will not be Liao into a pioneer.
One was Liu Feng, the other was Ma Mo, who had to die because he was thrown away in the street pavilion, resulting in a complete rout of the Shu army. Liu Feng is Liu Bei's righteous son, as Liu Bei's righteous son, he has this level of identity, it can be said that he has a death-free gold medal, so why does Zhuge Liang still want to get rid of him?
First, the selfish Liu Feng
First of all, let's understand what Liu Fengdu did, when Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, he stood by and watched, and he also conspired with Meng Da, causing Meng Da to defect. Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with him, but Liu Bei did not want to put him to death immediately, it was Zhuge Liang who thought that Liu Feng was too selfish and disobedient to discipline, and when Liu Bei died, he might make a rebellious act, so it was better to get rid of him.
In the end, Liu Feng committed suicide, and Liu Feng died because Zhuge Liang considered that if a person is capable again, but does not listen to his own words, then even if he is allowed to die, he cannot see the accident happen, and must strangle the possibility of rebellion in the cradle. In addition to Liu Feng's personality and personality, his proud identity has also become the reason for his death.
Liu Feng's status in the early days was very high, but after Liu Chan was born, he was very embarrassed, and his attention has since plummeted, after all, people have a son, why do you want this adopted son? Liu Feng, as an adopted son, definitely has the right to inherit, if there is no Liu Chan, then everything about Liu Bei will be inherited by Liu Feng, and he has long regarded himself as a successor in his heart.
Second, the awkward position
Unfortunately, this dream was shattered by Liu Chan, who seemed very redundant after he was born. Liu Feng was much stronger than Liu Chan, and when he was young, he followed Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to attack Yizhou, and later took Shangyong with Meng Da, which proved that he had the ability, and in time he would definitely have great achievements. However, the harder he tried, the greater the threat to Liu Chan, so his fate was already doomed.
Liu Bei would definitely pass the throne to Liu Chan, even if Liu Feng was no better, could he be better than his own son? And liu feng, who has the ability, poses a threat to Liu Chan is bound to be not small. But in fact, this is only part of the factor, the most important reason is that Zhuge Liang is worried that Liu Feng will be used as a gun by the Yizhou Hao clan, which is a lesson for the future.
After the death of Liu Biao, the boss of Yizhou, his son Liu Zhang took the throne and stole political advantage from the Dongzhou faction that supported Liu Mao. After Liu Bei came here, although the surface seemed calm and calm, in fact, it was still an undercurrent and serious internal contradictions. If such an incident were to be staged again after the Yizhou faction, and civil unrest would occur with Liu Feng's ascension to the throne, then the situation in Shu Han would become even worse.
If his ambitions were inflated too much, then a person as weak and incompetent as Liu Chan would definitely only be beaten. Because of the complexity of the situation in Central Shu, Zhuge Liang had to consider the long-term future, and in order to eliminate this possibility in advance, it was suggested that Liu Bei kill Liu Feng, and the ready-made excuses were placed in front of him to make Liu Feng's death look smooth enough.
He had the opportunity to send troops to save Guan Yu, but chose to stand by, and he repeatedly insulted Meng Da, causing Meng Da to escape, thus losing many cities. Guan Yu and Liu Bei were like brothers, he could not be saved when he saw death, and he lost so much territory later, plus he had to pave the way for Liu Chan, listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, and it was normal to kill Liu Feng.
III. The Death of Matthew
After Ma Mo arrived at the street kiosk, he found that this was a small city, the army could not be deployed in the city, and it was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and then he divided the army in two, Wang Ping defended the city, and he went up the mountain. Such a military ability is indeed correct, as for the defeat of the rear troops, Zhang Gao did not attack the city, which is also Wang Ping's ability to maintain his strength and drag Zhang Guo and win Wei Yan's retreat.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Gao's attack on the street pavilion was far simpler than Wei Yan's attack on Longxi, and the loss of the street pavilion was just a gap between the national strengths of the two sides. The Wei army had many cavalry and many Infantry of the Shu army, and in the Guanlong area, the Shu army was not good at fighting, which was why Zhuge Liang was in front of Sima Yi in the back, and Sima Yi did not care, because the cavalry could not charge in the mountains.
Moreover, it is strange that Ma Mo Street Pavilion took office, and there is a sentence in the historical record that "Liang defies the crowd and pulls it out," in fact, in the Northern Expedition lineup at that time, there were many battlefield experiences stronger than Ma Mo. Zhuge Liang should also know that Ma Mo is not so reliable, so he arranged a stable role like Wang Ping, which may also not seek merit but no fault, and the minister still has selfish intentions.
As long as this kind of place is kept, it is a great achievement, and Zhuge Liang wants to gild the horse and promote it in the future. Because most of the opinions put forward by Ma Mo before were correct, it would cause him to over-trust his own judgment, in the final analysis, he still lacked actual combat experience, and the main responsibility was still in Zhuge Liang, who let a novice directly pick the beam.
However, Zhuge Liang did not take this into account, and deliberately let Wang Ping be his deputy, and as a result, Ma Mo did not listen to Wang Ping's advice and led to the defeat of the army, if It were not for Wang Ping's stop-loss action in advance, the Battle of Jieting would have directly caused the collapse of the Shu kingdom.
In a sense, in fact, Ma Mo is more similar to Zhao Kuo, and it is also pitiful to think of Ma Mo, who has never really participated in the war for so many years, and some have only come up with advice. It was hard to wait for such an opportunity, but the result was that because of his own decision-making, he lost a very good situation, which was sad and regrettable.
Ma Mo must die, he is different from Guan Yuli's military orders, the forces behind Guan Yu, Ma Mo has nothing. Zhuge Liang also expected that Guan Yu would let Cao Cao go, so he would send him to guard Huarong Dao, and it was wise to let Cao Cao go. However, Ma Mo's loss of the street pavilion led to a total rout of the Shu army, and with no one to protect him, he had to die.
4. Summary
Even if Liu Feng sent troops to rescue Guan Yu, it would be difficult to succeed and bear the risk of losing land, but Liu Feng, as Liu Bei's righteous son, must have a posture of rescuing Guan Yu. But Liu Feng did not, and was not even willing to help Guan Yu to the rescue, let Liao Hua, who was rushing to the rescue for help, scold and leave, and then pretend that there was no one to engage in infighting with Meng Da.
Liu Guanzhang's decades of brotherly friendship could not be abandoned, but Liu Feng did not understand the importance of his uncle. In the early days, Zhang Fei lost his xuzhou roots, when did Liu Bei complain about Zhang Fei? If Guan Yu was saved, the gains and losses of a small city, Liu Bei would care, not to mention that he did not hold it later. For various reasons, even if Liu Feng was a fierce general, he could not survive.
