In Romance of the Three Kingdoms , why did Zhuge Liang cry when he killed Ma Yan?

There is a very famous scene in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, Zhuge Liang slashed the horse with tears. This story actually caused many people to think deeply, and many netizens said that Zhuge Liang didn't have to kill Ma Tan, after all, Ma Tan's mistakes were insignificant compared to his past contributions. But if you can really consider it from Zhuge Liang's position at that time, you will find that Ma Jian must be killed.

Because although Ma Jian is a very good general and a person whom Zhuge Liang himself admires very much, he did something wrong in this matter and violated the military order, so he should be punished by the military order. <>

Tears to cut Ma Tan due to Ma Tan's carelessness so lost the street pavilion, in this case Xishu lost a very important stronghold. In fact, under the circumstances at that time, even if the street pavilion was lost, it did not have a particularly big impact, but in order to appease the army, Zhuge Liang had to behead Ma Yan. Judging from the situation of the military order, it is very normal to make such a big mistake and be killed, but from the emotional point of view of Zhuge Liang himself, he is very reluctant.

A very good general because Ma Jian is indeed a rare general, and the army has also made all kinds of good achievements under the leadership of Ma Tan, but if Ma Jian is killed because of such a mistake, it actually has a great impact. However, judging from the situation at that time, if Ma Jian was not killed, it was likely to disturb the morale of the army, and even make people feel that discipline in the army did not exist and had no effect. Out of all kinds of helpless considerations, Zhuge Liang had to behead Ma Jian with tears.

In fact, some of Zhuge Liang's tactics are very powerful, but from the perspective of knowing people, Zhuge Liang is really not as good as Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was dying, he told Zhuge Liang that he actually had some exaggerations about Ma Su, and advised Zhuge Liang not to be of great use. However, Zhuge Liang didn't take Liu Bei's advice to heart, so he finally faced such a result.

It's not poor horses. Because, before Liu Bei died, he told Zhuge Liang that Ma Yan's words were exaggerated and should not be used. As a result, Zhuge Liang used people improperly, resulting in the defeat of the Battle of Jieting. After he killed Ma Yan, he thought of the words of the ancestor Liu Bei and shed tears.

Ma Jian is a particularly outstanding zombie, and he is also a good leader, Zhuge Liang himself admires him very much, but because he violated the military order, he must punish Zhuge Liang, and he feels very unbearable to cry.

I think this is because Ma Jian is not only the younger brother of Zhuge Liang's friend, but also the two have a deep friendship, so Zhuge Liang will shed tears.

Zhuge Liang is an upright person, although Ma Jian is wrong, he is also a hero, but he can't kill him.

Because Zhuge Liang has a very deep friendship with him, Zhuge Liang treats him like a brother, so he is very reluctant to kill him.

The street pavilion was lost, Kong Ming slashed the horse with tears, Zhuge Liang Northern Expedition, knowing that the strategic location of the street pavilion is very important, and the gains and losses of the street pavilion are related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, so who to guard the street pavilion Zhuge Liang is very cautious. Ma Tan volunteered to guard the street pavilion, and set up a military order to be strong, Kong Ming was still not at ease and sent two groups of men and horses to help defend, sure enough, Ma Tan could only talk about horses on paper, no actual combat experience, resulting in the loss of the street pavilion land, so that the Northern Expedition fell short. Ma Jian violated military law and was beheaded, why did Kong Ming cry while beheading Ma Tan?

The first cry is to hate himself for using people inappropriately, at the beginning Liu Bei General specially instructed Zhuge Liang: Ma Jian is exaggerated and cannot be reused, Liu Bei reminded in front of him, he still misused Ma Tan, so that the strategic land was lost, and the Northern Expedition was hopeless.

Although it is reasonable and legal for Ma Tan to be beheaded for violating military law, Ma Tan is also a general of Shu Han, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, and Ma Tan is not a talent, when Zhuge Liang conquered Nanzhong, Ma Tan had dedicated his heart to the top, so there are seven vertical and seven captures, and Ma Tan and Zhuge Liang are like father and son, the relationship is not ordinary, and it is not enough to convince the public, which is also the reason why Zhuge Liang cried.

Personally, I think that in the late Shu Han Dynasty, there was a lack of talents, Ma Jian really should not be beheaded, heavy to avoid death, and then more training, had actual combat experience, and Ma Jian has suffered a loss and will be wise, and he will be cautious in the future, and he must be a useful talent who can stand alone after Zhuge Liang! It's a pity that Zhuge Liang cried that Ma Jian died, but Zhuge Liang failed to listen to the advice of the former emperor Liu Bei: Ma Yan's words are exaggerated and cannot be used!!

Zhuge Liang cried because he was negligent in employing people, so that he lost a good situation!! He is crying for himself, Ma Jian is at fault, he is unknown, and at the same time he admires Liu Bei, in general, the mood of slashing Ma Jian with tears is complicated, hating iron is not steel, hating is not clear, hating why the sky has lost the British lord Liu Bei early, hating why there is a Sima Yi in the earth.

Ma Tan is a very talented person, Zhuge Liang cherishes his talents very much, so he will shed tears, Zhuge Liang is very reluctant, but there is no way.

Because Ma Tan was supported by Zhuge Liang, he followed Zhuge Liang for the longest time.

Zhuge Liang's slashing of horses can be described as a story for the ages. In fact, Zhuge Liang did not shed tears to kill Ma Yan. In fact, Ma Tan did not commit suicide at Zhuge Liang's place, as is widely rumored.

Instead, he chose to run away. Later, Ma Tan was captured and Zhuge Liang was sentenced to death. But before he could carry it out, Ma Jian died in prison.

So there is no such thing as a Masu crying and cutting off his head. In the sixth year of the reign of Shu (228 AD), Zhuge Liang launched the Northern Expedition against Cao Wei in order to realize the great cause of unification. He ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Qiu to be suspicious soldiers, occupy Jigu (north of present-day Hanzhong, Shaanxi), personally lead an army of 100,000 troops, raid Qishan (present-day Gansu), and appoint Ma Tan, who joined the army, as the vanguard, to guard the strategically important Jieting (northeast of present-day Qin'an County, Gansu).

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang repeatedly told Ma Yan: "Although the street pavilion is small, the relationship is very important. It is the throat leading to Hanzhong.

If we lose the pavilion, our army will be defeated. He was specifically instructed to "camp near mountains and rivers, and be careful not to make mistakes." Xiang Lang (Xiang Pet's uncle), who had a good relationship with Ma Su, was dismissed from his post for not reporting information after Ma Su absconded, and he had nothing to do for 20 years.

The basis for this theory can be found in "Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, Xiang Lang Biography": "He fled with Yan Shan (the defeat of Jieting), Lang did not tell the same book "The Biography of Ma Tan": "The Battle of Jieting) was broken, and the soldiers were scattered, and after Ma Tan arrived at Jieting, he did not deploy troops according to Zhuge Liang's instructions, but was arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

He decided to deploy his army on Jieting Hill, far from the water source. Wang Ping, the deputy commander at the time, said: "There is no water supply in the street pavilion, and there is no food**.

If the Wei army besieged Jieting and ran off water and food, the Shu army would collapse without a fight. Please obey the law and obey the law, rely on the mountains and rivers, and skillfully dispatch elite soldiers. Ma Jian was not discouraged, but said confidently

Ma Tan is familiar with the art of war, which everyone knows. Even the Prime Minister sometimes asks for my opinion. But you, Wang Ping, grew up in Ronglu and are illiterate.

What art of war do you know? But in the same book "The Biography of Zhuge Liang", there is a saying of "killing Xie Zhong".

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" just grasped this sentence and made it into a story. Ma Tan's confession is attributed to the military law he committed, and Ma Tan's death cannot be simply attributed to the confession. The street pavilion was very important to both Shu and Wei, and the leader was a person who Prime Minister Zhuge appreciated very much.

Because the street pavilion was lost at that time, the entire Shu Kingdom was in danger. In order to appease the government and the opposition, he had to exchange Ma Su's head for the hearts of the people.

Yes, it was very helpless to do so, because Ma Jian did not follow Zhuge Liang's command, which ultimately caused serious consequences, and he needed to pay for it.

No, he was sentenced to death when he was captured after he escaped, and not long after he was sentenced, he himself died of illness in prison.

Yes, because Ma Tan was very arrogant at that time, which caused the country at that time to have a very serious loss, so there was such a thing.

Ma Tan, whose name is young, is a native of Yicheng, Xiangyang, Jingzhou (now Yicheng, Hubei). He is a general of Shu Han and the younger brother of Ma Liang in the service. Because of his talent and Zhuge Liang's appreciation, Ma Tan is talented, good at military strategy, Zhuge Liang has always paid double attention to him, every time he talks about it, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, used it to join the army.

So what's going on with Zhuge Liang's tears and slashing horses? Let's find out!

Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, and the street pavilion is an important strategic pass. Ma Jian violated Zhuge Liang's dispatch and camped on the mountain, which was the main reason for the loss of the street pavilion, and the loss of the street pavilion deprived the Shu Han army of the best opportunity to continue to advance into Shaanxi, as a general, Ma Jian needed to bear the main responsibility. Zhuge Liang's slashing of horses can be said to have been recited through the ages.

Ma Yan's subjugation is attributed to the military law he issued, but generals who violate military law do not necessarily have to be beheaded, such as Xue Dingshan, the second marshal of the Tang Dynasty, who repeatedly violated military law, but was not beheaded for public display. It can be seen that Ma Tan's death cannot simply be attributed to the law. The Battle of Jieting was very important to the capital of Shu and Wei, and the person who led the army was a person whom Prime Minister Zhuge appreciated very much, if the Lord would be an insignificant person, perhaps he could have escaped death.

Because the street pavilion was lost at that time, the entire Shu Kingdom was in danger, although it was not panicked, but there was also some uneasiness.

In order to appease the government and the opposition, Zhuge Liang had to use Ma Tan's head. Zhuge Liang's move is intended to show that although Ma Tan is important, it is not the only one, although Shu has lost the street pavilion, but it can still dominate the world. Zhuge Liang's move can be said to be a delaying tactic, in order to buy time to rectify internal affairs.

Secondly, Ma Yan's death is also related to Zhuge Liang, at least Zhuge Liang's employment is unknown, which led to a rapid reversal of the whole situation. In order to prohibit it, Zhuge Liang had to kill Ma Jian to play a deterrent role, so this move can be understood as killing a chicken to show the monkey. Ma Tan was beheaded, it was inevitable, because of the weakness of Shu and his own importance, these two points doomed him to lose the inevitability of being beheaded.

When Liu Bei was dying, he warned Zhuge Liang that Ma Jian should not be reused, but Zhuge Liang did not listen; But the battle of the Houjie Pavilion made Zhuge Liang understand the meaning of his first emperor.

About Zhuge Liang's tears and slashing horses.

Ma Tan's use of military rhetoric is exaggerated.

Zhuge Liang slashed the horse with tears and took care of the overall situation.
