Kong Ming knows that Ma Su is very talented. This is no match for Zhang He. Although Wang Ping is good, he is far from Zhang He. Why is it so important and strategic for him to guard? You know, Zhang He was the first general of Wei at that time. He is clever and resourceful, and has made great achievements many times. What's wrong with him letting a scholar hit him? You can invite Wei Yan to go, even if you can't keep it, you won't be defeated. With Wei Yan's talent, he can protect himself. Kong Ming deliberately told him to die, and told the calligraphy master to fight Tai Sen. If he lost, he would die. That's called death.
Zhuge Liang did not set out for the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains. As we all know, after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, the main leading force of the country was Jingzhou Group headed by Zhuge Liang. And most of it? Local? Very little real power. This will naturally lead to power struggle within the group. After the fall of Jingzhou, this group of Jingzhou people became passive water and it was difficult to last. Kong Ming also knows this truth, but how can we consolidate the position of Jingzhou Group? Zhuge Liang's several northern expeditions were all his means to seize power. Evidence one, Kong Mingxian beheaded Wei, then recalled. This proves that there is indeed a power struggle in Shu.
Evidence 2: Kong Ming did not adopt Wei Yan's ingenious idea. Kong Minghui didn't know that the soldiers were just right and made a surprise attack? Not exactly. Moreover, Kongming knew better that it was impossible to destroy Wei with the national strength of Shu at that time. Therefore, Kong Ming provided evidence three. Kongming failed every time he went north, but he was not defeated. Really, does Kongming fight like a god? On the contrary, every time Kongming knew that he would come back in vain, he was ready to retreat early. This is the motive of Kong Ming's attack on Wei. To control power.
Zhuge Liang is a sage in power. He took power from both Sichuan Wang and Jingzhou Wang, and needed to coordinate the forces of both sides. Of course, coordinating the forces of both sides does not mean killing Ma Su to weaken the Jingzhou gang. It is to ease the contradiction between the two sides. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, recalled by his ancestors, has shown that contradictions are intensifying, because everyone has not fully recognized Zhuge Liang's? Hyun-Sang Kwon? Everyone thinks he is a member of the Jingzhou gang, and Wei Yan is no exception, so the angry Zhuge Liang doesn't need his ingenuity, because he doesn't know the real purpose of Zhuge Liang's attack on Wei. His purpose is to replace the internal contradictions with the external contradictions between Wei and Shu to some extent.
It is a sufficient condition for Zhuge Liang to control internal contradictions and prevent internal division. After Zhuge Liang's death, the above-mentioned contradictions that have been suppressed have appeared. At the beginning of the infighting, the strength of Shu was obviously weak, which eventually led to the demise of Shu. If all kinds of unfavorable changes after Zhuge Liang's death are regarded as the necessary conditions for Zhuge Liang to seize power, then this logic is not sufficient. So we think from another direction and start with the choice of Zhuge Liang's successor to prove it. Jiang Wei is neither a Jingzhou native nor a Sichuanese. He is the A Qiang of both sides of the contradiction.
Why did Zhuge Liang choose him? Is it really because Jiang Wei has unparalleled ability? People who like the Three Kingdoms can think, so this problem has been proved. It is reasonable and appropriate that there must be a third party in power between Jingzhou Gang and Sichuan Gang. Then, why can Zhuge Liang, a native of Jingzhou, also take power? Because we have proved that Kong Ming is a wise man. Although he is from Jingzhou, he thinks he is a native of Shu. He doesn't stand in Jingzhou and Sichuan to help either side. The evidence is Zhuge Liang's attitude when Liu Bei attacked Wu.
The situation at that time was that Liu Beiju's soldiers who poured out their country conquered Wu Dong. On the one hand, he was under the banner of revenge for Guan Yu, the so-called righteous man; On the other hand, although Shu was in Sichuan at that time, the main force of the regime was mainly Jingzhou people. Is Jingzhou expensive? Therefore, in view of the wishes of most Jingzhou people, such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, we don't consider the ultimate failure caused by Liu Bei's ambitious expansion and the successive victories of Wu Chu. In other words, the original purpose of Liu Bei's attack on Wu was to recover Jingzhou according to the wishes of Jingzhou people. As for Zhuge Liang's attitude, he was firmly opposed, so it was Liu Bei, not Kong Ming, who took the lead in cutting Wu. It can be proved that Zhuge Liang is not on behalf of Jingzhou gang, but also a third party.
Zhuge Liang's identity is a third-party mediator outside the Jingzhou gang and the Sichuan gang, which inevitably makes Zhuge Aliang a target of public criticism. He won't get enough support from both sides, in fact, because from the standpoint of Jingzhou gang and Sichuan gang, Zhuge Liang is his own opponent. At this point, we can feel from the above examples that the Northern Expedition was recalled by the late leader because of the slander of Zhuge Liang by the Sichuan gang, the distrust of the Jingzhou gang, the repeated public complaints of Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang's urgent need for Wei Yan to support the street kiosks, and Wei Yan took a step back (Zhuge Liang knew that the street kiosks were difficult to keep, but Wei Yan would have more opportunities to keep them).
Therefore, Zhuge Liang is already a mouse living between the two sides. At the end of his life, Sima Yi said that Kong Ming did everything by himself, but he could wait. Yes, no one supported him, and no one did. Can't Zhuge Liang do it himself? We can't help sighing. Kong Ming has been alone for thousands of years, and no one understands him and stands with him. However, this is wrong. Someone agrees with him-Masu.
Anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms knows that Kong Ming and Ma Su have a good relationship. Often collude with it? In fact, Ma Su is really talented, and the evidence of seven captures of Meng Huo comes from the discussion between Ma Su and Kongming. Kong Ming also attached great importance to Ma Su and treated him like a brother. People in Jingzhou gang and Sichuan gang are naturally jealous. They think that Zhuge Liang trusts no one but Ma Su.
Is that so? They don't know that Ma Su and Kongming are in a third party. Some even notice that they are not reused because of Masu's existence. That's why Masu has to stand up and guard the street pavilion and prove himself. We assume that Ma Su will guard the street kiosks and Zhuge Liang will retire from the whole division, which can alleviate the pressure from all sides to a certain extent, because the street kiosks are too difficult to guard, and it is rare for Wei Yan not to guard them. It can be said that Ma Su is not as mature as Zhuge Liang. He could not bear the pressure of accusations from all sides and chose to guard the street pavilion.
Zhuge Liang was not in favor of or even opposed to Ma Su guarding the street kiosks. Should he make a written military order? Alas, Masu, poor Masu, he knew what Kong Ming meant, but he still chose to guard the street pavilion, so he almost chose to die. As a result, he also chose to die. Because, he lost the street pavilion. Through these analyses, we can already know that if Zhuge Liang doesn't kill Ma Su, the contradiction between Kongming and his subordinates will get out of hand.
