In the Three Kingdoms era, what did the Shu Han dynasty perish for? In fact, if you carefully summarize, it can be summarized into two reasons: First, shu Han's financial resources are not good. The so-called financial resources can be simply understood as grain and grass, and in ancient times, wars paid attention to "soldiers and horses did not move grain and grass first." Shu Han was very poor in financial resources, and in this regard alone, it was not enough to confront Cao Wei. Another point is the issue of talent. In fact, the talents of the Shu Han Dynasty were in a state of discontinuity: after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei, who was in charge of the military, was actually a general of Cao Wei. From this, it is not difficult to see the failure of Shu Han in talent training.
Among the talents that Zhuge Liang was looking at, in addition to Jiang Wei, there was also Ma Mo. Many people may feel that Ma Mo is a person without real talent and practical learning. But in fact, in some fields, Ma Mo is indeed a talent: for example, in military theory. What Ma Mo is good at is actually theory, but in the military field or in other fields, theory and actual combat are not the same. Zhuge Liang was also convinced of Ma Chen's theoretical attainments, but in this life, Ma Mo only gave up one plan and fought a battle, but these changed the lives of Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.
The so-called plan: Before the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang's southern barbarian departments nominally belonging to the Shu Han rebelled, and if the problems of the southern barbarian departments could not be effectively solved, Zhuge Liang wanted the northern expedition, but he was afraid that there was not even a reliable rear. Therefore, Zhuge Liang needed to solve the problems of the various departments of southern Man first. Before solving the problems of the various departments of the Southern Manchus, Ma Mo proposed such a plan to Zhuge Liang: that is, to attack the heart first. Theoretically, Ma Mo's statement of attacking the heart is indeed in line with what the Law of War says, but this method cannot be effectively implemented in the southern barbarian departments.
Because the southern barbarian departments were afraid of power and did not fear morality, if they wanted to really make them submit, they needed to crush them by force, and the southern barbarian departments were actually good at guerrilla tactics, and from beginning to end, they never really appreciated Zhuge Liang's men for their mercy, or feared the strong military pressure of Shu Han. So this scheme did not work. The so-called battle refers to the battle of guarding the street kiosk. The street pavilion determined the national fortunes of the Shu Han Dynasty, so Zhuge Liang felt the need to send people with high military attainments to guard it, and Ma Mo was favored by Zhuge Liang.
As a result, ma Mo guarded the street kiosk, which was very wrong in layout, and eventually led to the loss of the street kiosk. The loss of the street pavilion led to almost no possibility of success in the Northern Expedition, and Zhuge Liang was unable to realize his ideals in his lifetime, and Sima Yi established his prestige by crushing Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, laying the foundation for the subsequent Coup d'état of Gaopingling. It can be said that Ma Mo changed the lives of Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.
