Still laughing at Masu

With the progress of military achievements, it laid the foundation stone for the future northern expedition and sealed the general. Zhuge Liang used Wang Ping, who has always been cautious in employing people, as his deputy. Wang Ping also dutifully blamed himself for helping Wang make a plan. Later, Ma Su didn't listen to the advice, which led to a big defeat. It is impossible for such a person to deliberately take the right-hand man as a scapegoat, because doing so will have a serious adverse impact on the cause he pursues, and a wise man with ideals will never do so. When Zhuge Liang put down Meng Huo's rebellion, Ma Su, who was embedded in the army, presented a strategy of giving priority to psychological warfare, supplemented by military warfare. Zhuge Liang used this strategy to capture Meng Huo alive, and finally persuaded Meng Huo to lose. He surrendered to Shu unswervingly.

Moreover, Lieutenant Wang Ping once reminded Ma Su that the water source might be cut off by the enemy when camping in the mountains. But Masu wouldn't listen. It can be said that Ma Su is mainly responsible for the loss of street kiosks. It can be said that Ma Su's beheading was a fair death. Zhuge Liang sent his troops to Longyou with 65,438+10,000 troops, and all three counties fell. Only Guo Huai of Longyou and others are still guarding the city for Cao Wei in Yongzhou and other places. So Zhuge Liang is sure to eat all the Liangzhou areas of Cao Wei. But talents also have shortcomings. Therefore, Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang before he died: Ma Su was exaggerating, so he couldn't be of great use. You should obey it. But Zhuge Liang was too appreciative of Ma Su to take it to heart.

The number is also small, but it has no ability to fight against big countries. There is no condition to compete with big countries to win, and there is no certainty of winning. Why did Zhuge Liang openly clamor for the Northern Expedition, the first Northern Expedition? That is to say, Zhuge Liang didn't take it to heart at all, which shows Ma Su's position in Zhuge Liang's mind. Xiangyang Ji records that when Ma Su was beheaded, the Shu army "cried for hundreds of thousands of people". This shows that Ma Su's influence in the Shu army is very high. As a result, everyone knew that the street pavilion was lost, and Wang Ping also explained the situation. Zhuge Liang wanted to give Ma a chance to display his talents, but Ma Su was so disappointing. If he had done as Zhuge Liang did, he would not have failed. Even if he fails, Zhuge Liang won't blame him!
