Before Liu Bei died, he told Zhuge Liang that Ma Mo could not be reused, and Zhuge Liang, who had always been loyal and loyal, actually took the words of the ancestors as a side-by-ear, and the mystery of this did not show a hint until Ma Mo was killed: a careful look at Zhuge Liang's age reminds us of Wei Zhongxian and his children and grandchildren in the later Ming Dynasty.
Although Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, he has at least ten dry sons and fifty dry grandsons, and these "children and grandchildren" will be known by checking the age of everyone, and Wei Zhongxian is called a brother and a brother, and when the father and son are grandchildren, it is a bit of a teahouse beckoning - Hu Lai.
This article does not smear the meaning of zhuge liang, the name of the ancients, and Wei Zhongxian certainly cannot be compared with Zhuge Liang, but the superior person likes the flattery of his subordinates, but it is the norm in the world, ancient and modern, even if the sage is like Zhuge Liang, I am afraid it is not exempt from vulgarity.
Ma Mo, this person, has a little skill, Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven longitudinal Meng, is his idea: three years after Jianxing, Zhuge Liang personally conquered Nanzhong, Ma Mo sent dozens of miles in one breath, and put forward the suggestion of "attacking the heart first".
In fact, attacking the heart is not the first creation of Ma Mo, this is a simplified version of the "Sun Tzu Art of War and Conspiracy": "The method of using soldiers by husbands is the first in the whole country, the second in breaking the country, the upper soldiers to cut the plot, the second to cut the traffic, the second to cut the soldiers, and the next to attack the city, so those who make good use of the soldiers, the soldiers who bend the people, not the war." ”
It is no wonder that Zhuge Liang looks at him differently, but the reader Zhujun may not have noticed one thing, that is, Ma Mo did not participate in the Southern Expedition, he was just one of the send-off personnel.
According to common sense, the ten miles of the long pavilion farewell, everyone will go back to their respective homes, only Ma Mo "sent tens of miles", which can not be inferred by common sense: Ma Mo only has Zhuge Liang in his eyes and no successor Liu Chan.
For such a guy who violates the etiquette system, Zhuge Liang is very fond of it: "Every time I introduce and talk about it, I go from day to night." ”
Zhuge Liang was a brilliant talent in the world, and Ma Mo would only talk about it, and it was difficult to believe how such a person with a far difference in character and talent could find a topic to talk about endlessly.
It is precisely because personal relations are relatively good, so in Zhuge Liang's first attack on Wei, Ma Mo was heavily used: "In the sixth year of Jianxing, Liang sent an army to Qishan, and sometimes there were generals Wei Yan and Wu Yi, and the commentators all said that it was appropriate to be the vanguard, and Liang violated the crowd and unified the masses, and fought with the Wei general Zhang Guo at the street pavilion, which was broken by Gao and the soldiers were scattered." ”
Wei Yan was Liu Bei's confidant and beloved general, Wu Yi was the uncle of the dynasty, and they were both veterans of the battlefield who had been in battle for a long time, and they served as former military commanders, which was expected by everyone, but no matter what others said, Zhuge Liang was a horse who had never led troops.
Readers who have experienced the official workplace know that villains who are good at flattery and flattery are arrogant and arrogant to their subordinates, and they often say bad things in front of their faces, and Ma Mo behaves in front of Zhuge Liang, who behaves like-minded, but once he has mastered the military power, not only does he turn a deaf ear to the opinions of his subordinates, but even Zhuge Liang does not put them in his eyes: "Liang made Ma Mo oversee the troops in front and fight with Gao in the street pavilions." Rumor violated the brightness of the festival, the behavior was inappropriate, and it was greatly broken by Gao. ”
Ma Mo guarded the street pavilion and became a big joke during the Three Kingdoms period, especially the Shu Han clique: Zhuge Liang did not listen to everyone's advice (Liang violated the crowd), Ma Mo did not listen to Zhuge Liang's arrangement (Rumor violated Liang's festival), a big war, turned into a confused temple and confused gods, confused and knocked on his head - Sima Yi did not participate in this battle at all, Cao Wei produced a Zhang Guo, and Zhuge Liang ran away.
More strange things are still to come, Ma Mo lost his life, Zhuge Liang cried, and was written by the novel zhuge Liang's guilt for Liu Bei, and in fact Zhuge Liang really deplored Ma Mo: "When He went to prison, Liang wept for it." Liang himself is sacrificed, waiting for his orphans to live. ”
There was a shortage of talents in Shuzhong, but there were more than three or five stronger than Ma Chen, and even among the five brothers of Ma Mo, Ma Mo was not the most outstanding one, and he and Ma Liang were not on the same level.
Why did Zhuge Liang have a blue eye for ma Mo who was arrogant and arrogant? The two titles in Ma Mo's suicide note reveal the truth: "Ming Gong regards Yu Zi, and Ming Gong Ju Father." ”
Ming Gong is an honorific title, and there is only a line of difference with the lord, Zhuge Liang regards Ma Mo as a son, and Ma Mo also regards Zhuge Liang as his father, which is the most important reason for their close relationship.
But there is a very serious problem here, that is, the age difference between the two people, can they become father and son?
Ma Mo died in Jianxing 6 (228) at the age of nine Chinese New Year's Eve, and how old was Zhuge Liang that year? This is a good conversion, Zhuge Liang, born in 181 AD, should be forty-eight years old, that is to say, Zhuge Liang is only nine years older than Ma Mo, which is a "father and son" who are nine years apart, which looks abnormal, but it is the norm in the official field, and Ma Mo is undoubtedly an old fritter in the official field: in exchange for Zhuge Liang's closeness and trust by lowering the generation score.
There are five Ma Mo brothers, he is an old knot, that is to say, Ma Mo's eldest brother is about the same age as Zhuge Liang, and Ma Big Brother looks at the little brother and treats Zhuge Liang as his father, I don't know how he will feel?
From the slush and mud claws of the history of the Three Kingdoms, we can find that Ma Mo is a big fool who is a great talent who has neglected to talk excessively, and the well-informed Liu Bei is very unimpressed with him, this is because Liu Bei has been wandering and reading countless people in the middle of his life, knowing that this kind of person is terrible and hateful, and he also expects that Zhuge Liang will be fooled and lame by Ma Chen, so he does not mention many important matters in the military state, and he must also push his heart to warn Zhuge Liang: "Ma Chen's words are exaggerated, not to be of great use, and it is important to observe it!" ”
However, Liu Bei's earnest admonition was taken as a side-notch by Zhuge Liang (Liang was not the case, and he joined the army with Chen), which was not that Zhuge Liang had the heart of disobedience, nor was it that Ma Mo was useless, but that the situation at that time was so bad: Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan were under the command of the same person, the Shu Han clique lacked soul figures, and Zhuge Liang was not the only one who could become the actual controller.
In the Shu Han clique at that time, Zhuge Liang's secretarial team was a small team, Li Yan's Yizhou gate valve had common interests, the jingzhou generals headed by Wei Yan were not very obedient (often fighting with Zhuge Liang's secretary general Yang Yi), the central protector Zhao Yun and the tiger ben zhonglang general Zhao Guang, and the Yamen general Zhao Tong only had the first lord Liu Bei and the second lord Liu Chan in their hearts.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was in great need of a "confidant", and Ma Mo was particularly good at prostrating himself as a small recognizer, which was Zhuge Liang's sorrow and the sadness of the Shu Han clique: there was Fazheng in the front, there was Ma Chen, and then there was Chen Qi huanghao, and they were all more trusted and valued by those in power than Zhao Yun, who dared to speak, and Wei Yan, who had a violent temper.
In terms of knowing people and good appointments, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did far less than Cao Cao: Guo Jia was resourceful and more capable of pleasing his bosses, but he had not been promoted for twelve years from entering Cao's camp to his death, and had always been a staff officer without a long military master to sacrifice wine, and when he was alive, there were only two hundred households at most (after Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu and requested that he be added eight hundred households, making up a thousand households), and his status was several grades worse than that of Xun Yu Xun You Jia Cheng Yu.
Zhuge Liang is not Wei Zhongxian, and Ma Mo is not the forty grandson of the tenth child, but Ma Mo's rocket-style promotion cannot but make people sigh: Even if Zhuge Liang, a famous minister and loyal model for thousands of years, will inevitably be caught in front of the horse shooting master, in the face of a "son" who is nine years younger than himself, some people are contemptuous, some people are secretly happy, Zhuge Liang's fiasco in Qishan when he first came out, is he not defeated in the flattery of Ah Chen? Ma Mo made Zhuge Liang a father with some intentions, and Zhuge Liang recognized the villain as his son, so why bother?
