Why can t Ma Tan guard the street pavilion? What is the topography of the kiosk?

Ma Tan chose to divide 10,000 elite soldiers under the premise of abiding by Zhuge Liang's way to the village, and the soldiers were divided into two roads on the side of the mountainside of the North Mountain with a water source, and the defenders of the mountain corner were each other's horns, and only by adopting this tactic could they hold the street pavilion.

Because Ma Tan was too arrogant, he did not defend the street pavilion, and the terrain of the street pavilion was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he was condescending.

Because Ma Tan had no reinforcements at that time, he was surrounded by the Wei army, cut off the water source, and finally failed; The terrain is narrow, like a valley, and it is very dangerous.

Because he is only talking on paper and has no actual combat experience, he cannot set up camp according to the actual situation. The topography of the street pavilion is two mountains in the north and south, one mountain and one river, and Ma Tan set up camp on a mountain without a water source.

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, because the street pavilion is a military location, sent Ma Tan to guard it. Ma Tan claimed to have been familiar with military books since he was a child, and was familiar with the subtlety of the art of war, and did not listen to the persuasion of the deputy general Wang Ping, so he stationed his men and horses on the mountain, condescendingly, and regarded one as ten.

When Sima Yi led his troops to attack, he trapped Ma Jian on the mountain, cut off its waterway, and set fire to the mountain, causing Ma Tan's army to chaos without a fight, so he lost the street pavilion.

There are two real reasons why Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, the first reason is that Ma Tan is on paper, talented and arrogant, and the second reason is that Ma Tan is eager to prove himself and make meritorious contributions; The third reason is that the opponent Zhang He is very strong.

1. Ma Tan talks on paper, is talented, and is too arrogant.

Ma Yan, who is very talented, did not take Zhuge Liang's orders and advice to heart, and felt that Zhuge Liang usually had to ask his opinions on military affairs, so if he listened to Zhuge Liang's words, it would not seem that he had no ability, so he would definitely want to do another set of plays.

2. Ma Tan is eager to prove himself and make contributions, and he is eager to make contributions.

Ma Tan had never led troops alone before this, and he followed Zhuge Liang to make suggestions as a member of the army. Now is the time for me to lead my troops to fight, and it is also the time for me to raise my eyebrows and raise my eyebrows in the army neutrality, and I want to prove that I don't just talk about it on paper.

Another is that at that time, the hail eliminated Nan'an, Tianshui, Anding three counties all surrendered to Shu, at this time if you hold the street pavilion, then Zhuge Liang can lead the troops to take Chang'an, it can be said that Naotong won the entire Wei State, this is the first class of merit, no one will let go of such a good opportunity to make contributions. Therefore, Ma Jian only thinks about proving himself and taking credit, and his mind is not on strategy.

3. The opponent Zhang He is very strong.

Zhang He has experienced a hundred battles, not only can he be on par with Zhang Fei, but also very strategic, even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are afraid of him, so it is not surprising that Ma Tan was defeated under Zhang He's hands.

<><1. The story of Ma Tan's lost street pavilion

In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, in the sixth year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, in order to recover the Han Dynasty, sent troops to the Northern Expedition to crusade against the Cao Wei regime, and successively let the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an and Anding return to Shu Han, which shocked the Cao Wei regime, and Emperor Wei Ming personally went to Chang'an to supervise the war, and sent the general Zhang He to lead the army to Qishan to defend the Shu Han army.

After Zhuge Liang achieved a phased victory, he was ready to further expand the results of the battle and completely control the Guanzhong generation, so he needed to hold the strategic place of Jieting. In the face of different opinions in the army, Zhuge Liang weighed it again and again, and insisted on sending Ma Yan, who he trusted very much, to lead the army to defend the street pavilion.

However, although Ma Tan had military talent, he was too conceited, unwilling to listen to the advice of the general Wang Ping, and insisted on garrisoning the Wei army in the upper mountain to defend the Wei army, as a result, the Shu army was cut off by Zhang Lin, and in the face of the onslaught of the Wei army, the Shu army was defeated, and finally Ma Tan broke through and escaped from the street pavilion with thousands of remnants.

Ma Tan was also beheaded by Zhuge Liang according to the military order because of the defeat of the street pavilion. Jieting was lost, although this was only a small one of the previous battles, but it led to the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, a complete failure, and there was no stronghold to further the Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun and others were defeated in Keigu, and continued to retreat to Qishan and worried that Hanzhong County would be attacked, resulting in the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and Zhuge Liang could only temporarily withdraw his troops from Hanzhong.

2. What is the street pavilion now?

Jieting is a strategic location, the approximate location is in Longcheng Town, Tianshui City, Gansu Province today, so how important is this place? At that time, Zhuge Liang occupied Hanzhong County during the first Northern Expedition, occupied Qishan in the northwest, and held the Jieting, so the Shu Han army could attack Chencang in two ways, further attack Chang'an in the east, and attack Longxi County and Guangwei County in the west.

Even if the army has to be repaired and guards the street pavilion, then the area from Qishan to Hanzhong County, Kaichongjin, will be a stable rear of the Shu army, and the Cao Wei army must first cross Longshan if it wants to attack the Shu army, which is a natural obstacle.

Similarly, for Cao Wei, Jieting is also equally important, occupying Jieting, winning the Shu Han army in Keigu, can directly threaten to attack Hanzhong County occupied by the Shu army, and then send troops from Chencang, you can cut off the retreat of the Shu army in Qishan, and the Wei army in Jieting is flanked on both sides, and at the same time, the army arranged from the long can be borrowed from Jigu.

If the feint attacks Hanzhong County, then the Shu army will completely fall to the disadvantage from the geographical point of view, and at the same time, it can also stabilize the sphere of influence of Cao Wei in the west, so Jieting as a strategic place has a very important position for Cao Wei and Shu Han.
