What are the bad consequences caused by Ma Tan s loss of the street pavilion?

Ma Tan's loss of the Street Pavilion caused Zhuge Liang to march without a foothold and had to retreat, and he himself was beheaded.

In the sixth year of Jianxing (228), Zhuge Liang sent troops to Qishan to the north to attack Wei.

Zhuge Liang appointed Ma Jian as the vanguard and ordered Zhao Yun.

Deng Zhi, as a suspicious army, occupied Keigu (present-day Hanzhong, Shaanxi).

North), he personally led an army of 100,000 to raid Qishan (now in Gansu), which was held by the Wei army.

Emperor Wei Ming. Cao Rong learned about Shu Han.

After coming to the attack, he sent the general Zhang He, the governor of various roads, to block Ma Tan in Jieting (now northeast of Qin'an, Gansu).

Ma Tan violated Zhuge Liang's operational deployment, gave up the water source and stationed his troops on Nanshan, Zhang He cut off Ma Tan's road to get water, launched an attack and defeated Ma Tan, Ma Tan's soldiers fled in defeat and scattered. Zhuge Liang marched without a foothold, so he had to capture more than 1,000 people in Xixian County and return to Hanzhong.

After Zhuge Liang returned to the army, he beheaded Ma Tan and Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, and others who fought with him in the street pavilion. After Ma Yan's death, Zhuge Liang personally went to mourn, wept bitterly for him, comforted his children, and treated them as usual. Ma Tan was only thirty-nine years old when he died.

At that time, Zhuge Liang led the army to take Chang'an, and he was like a bamboo all the way and captured the strategic place - Jieting. Street Pavilion is the main road to Chang'an, is the throat of Chang'an, very important, and because the location of the Street Pavilion is an open river valley, extending in all directions, the north and south mountains are dangerous, the strategic place that can be attacked and retreated can be defended, once lost, it is difficult to protect itself, so it is very important.

Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion led to the loss of the street pavilion, and the defeat of Wei failed.

As a result, the military headquarters was almost terminated, and the results of the Northern Expedition were lost again.

Military consequences: The loss of Longxi, a stronghold that could go straight to Chang'an along the Weishui, resulted in a strategic passive situation in which it was advisable to suffer from two sides during the Northern Expedition in the later period. Wuhou repeatedly went out of Qishan for this purpose.

Political consequences: It was unable to effectively form political influence and military alliances with the Qiang people in the west, resulting in internal friction in the weak Shu State. At the same time, the influence of Qin and Liang declined sharply (there were originally cities that voluntarily surrendered, but there were many fewer in the later period).

Economic consequences: the loss of Tianshui County and the surrounding agricultural and animal husbandry bases, the lack of the most important strategic material at that time - grain transshipment base. As a result, the Northern Expedition was forced to withdraw several times in the later period due to the lack of long grain routes.

Ma Tan lost the street pavilion and committed an unforgivable capital crime, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to act in accordance with the law and slash Ma Tan with tears. There are two real reasons why Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, the first reason is that Ma Tan is on paper, talented, and too 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 three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding 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 he 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. So Yuandan is thinking only 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.

The story of Ma Tan's lost street pavilion

Ma Tan lost the street pavilion is about Zhuge Liang led the army to the Northern Expedition, when attacking Qishan, everyone suggested that Zhuge Liang use the old generals Wei Yan and Wu Yi, Zhuge Liang did not listen, and reused Ma Tan. When attacking the military stronghold of Jieting, Ma Tan did not accept Zhuge Liang's suggestion, insisted on going his own way, did not occupy the town, but occupied Nanshan, and finally, due to the problem of drinking water, lost the military important place of Jieting. Ma Tan and his subordinates were finally executed.

After Zhuge Liang lost the street pavilion, the road of the Northern Expedition was repeatedly unsmooth, and finally ended in failure. Later, Shu Han also carried out many northern expeditions, but they were unsuccessful, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Shu Han army. After Liu Bei requisitioned Sun Quan, he also fell ill and died of hail and repented, Liu Bei's son became the emperor, and the later ending was just like what he read in "The Teacher's Table", Shu Han was lonely.

Ma Tan should be primarily responsible, and Zhuge Liang should be secondarily responsible. Because Ma Tan did not listen to Wang Ping's suggestion at that time, he insisted on building the camp on the mountain, which made the street pavilion lose and the first Northern Expedition failed. This is caused by Zhuge Liang's improper employment, and he must also be responsible.

Yes, the blame is on Ma Yan. The reasons are: 1. Ma Tan did not set up camp at the intersection of the road according to Zhuge Liang's military deployment.

2. Wang Ping, the pioneer of Ma Tan, encamped at the foot of Jieting Mountain and led only 5,000 soldiers. 3. After Sima Yi cut off the water source of Ma Tan's army, Ma Jian forcibly urged the Shu soldiers to go down the mountain to attack the Wei soldiers, and killed people in anger.
