The Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrays a nearly perfect Shu Han Chancellor Zhuge Liang, in which the author really spent a lot of ink, according to the book description Zhuge Liang is not only a brilliant strategist, but also a loyal and dedicated to Han image, such a strategic and loyal person has been loved by people for thousands of years.
However, no one is perfect, and even the best talents will make mistakes, and the biggest mistake in Zhuge Liang's life is to let Ma Mo go to the street kiosk, which has become the most regretted and saddest thing in his life. As the young man who was most valued by Zhuge Liang at that time, Ma Mo had to behead him and show him to the public, why was this?
When Ma Mo was in prison, someone interceded for Ma Mo, but Zhuge Liang did not agree. Zhuge Liang lost the street pavilion because of Ma Mo and was beheaded according to military law. Afterwards, Jiang Huan said to Zhuge Liang: "During the Warring States period, Chu and Jin were at war, and the Chu state was forced to kill itself because of the defeat of the Yuan division's subjects, and Jin Wengong was very happy after he was convinced. It can be seen that the past must not be taken as a warning. Now that the world is undecided, wouldn't it be a pity to execute such a wise and scheming general as Ma Chen? Zhuge Liang said with tears in his eyes: "Sun Wu was able to defeat the enemy because of strict military law, and it is precisely because of this that when the Duke of Jin mourned Zheng Zhan in the Tiger Prison, Yang Gan was the younger brother of Duke Mo, did not obey military orders, and was punished by Sima Wei with military law." Now that the four seas are divided and the war has just begun, if the criminal law is abolished, how can we fight against thieves? "
Matthew must be killed. If he did not kill, it would have a hundred times more serious consequences than a head: first of all, Zhuge Liang, the commander of the three armies, would be responsible for leadership.
At this time, the unstable forces in the country will take advantage of the problem. Losing the car to protect the marshal can play a role in suppressing domestic public opinion; stabilizing the complicated situation in the country with Ma Mo's head, associating Song Gaozong would rather sacrifice Yue Fei to stabilize his own throne, the mentality of the rulers has always been similar; since the great defeat of Ma Mo, Zhuge Liang's view of Ma Mo has also changed, and he has not cherished it so much, realizing that Ma Mo is indeed a student who has brought calamity to the country and the people, and it is estimated that it will not be of much use in the future; At the same time, Zhuge Liang remembered Liu Bei's admonition: "Ma Mo is exaggerated and cannot be of great use", Liu Had said first, and Zhuge Liang must have been very remorseful at this time.
A general who, due to his own mistakes, throws his life on the battlefield in vain, and all the living can be killed, and such a general should be killed. And When Ma Mo was dying, there were 100,000 soldiers who shed tears for him, so it can be seen that if Ma Mo was not killed, the heart of the Shu army would not be affected. Zhuge Liang killed Ma Mo in tears, and it can also be seen that he has pity.
During the First Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang must have made full preparations, and Ma Mo was still Zhuge Liang's good friend, often talking until midnight with his trusted subordinates. However, history is always dramatic, and we can only look at each other and sigh at the past, although it is a pity, but for Zhuge Liang it is only a beginning.
