Zhuge Liang was killed because Ma Mo lost the street pavilion, and afterwards Jiang Huan said to Zhuge Liang: "In the past, when Chu and Jin were at war, the marshal of the Chu state was forced to kill himself after the defeat of his subjects, and Duke Wen of Jin was very happy when he learned of it. Now that the world is undecided, is it a pity to execute a wise general? Zhuge Liang said with tears: "The reason why Sun Wu was able to defeat the enemy and win victory was because of the strict military law. Yang Gan, who was the younger brother of Duke Mo, did not obey military orders and was punished by Sima Wei dai under military law. Now that the four seas are divided and the war has just begun, if the law is not strict, how can we fight against thieves? ”
The Jin Dynasty historian Xi Chisel said: "Zhuge Liang cannot annex the State of Wei, it is a matter of course! In the past, during the Battle of Chengpu, Duke Wen of Jin saw that Xun Lin's father did not cross the river in time, and Duke Wen did not deal with him according to military law, and the result was successful; King Cheng of Chu did not understand that Dechen was for him to fail, and after killing Dechen, it led to an even greater defeat. At that time, the Shu kingdom was on the side, and there were not many talents, and if you killed a handsome man like Ma Mo and used people with poor talent and morality, it was obvious that discipline was more important than talent. Isn't it too difficult to remember the lessons of the failure of the three Northern Expeditions and still want to achieve great things? ”
Wouldn't it be a pity that Zhuge Liang executed Ma Mo when the world was undecided?
