Liu Bei: Don't reuse this person, Zhuge Liang: I don't agree, and as a result, Shu Han perished early
Introduction: Looking back at the first half of Liu Bei's life, it can be found that he is always losing the battle, the front foot just pulled up a team or when he obtained a small piece of territory, the back foot was beaten away, first in Xuzhou was successively defeated by Lü Bu and Cao Cao, and then followed Yuan Shao still suffered defeat, has been driven to Jingzhou, but Liu Bei can survive after each failure and quickly recover his vitality, in addition to his own good luck, more importantly, his personality charm and ability to understand and employ people, he is relying on many talents, Eventually rose after the Battle of Chibi.
Liu Bei did not have a strong family power like Cao Cao, nor did he have the good fortune of Sun Quan, there were fathers and brothers in front of him to open up territory for him, everything he did was from scratch, he relied on his faith in the four seas, and eventually attracted a large group of people of insight to come to him, and Liu Bei was appointed accordingly according to what they were good at. For example, Kong Ming had a good dispatch, so he let him govern internal affairs, pang Tong and Fa Zheng were good at strategizing, so they took them to fight Xichuan and Hanzhong, Guan, Daniel Zhang wu, so let them be the generals of the unified army.
Liu Bei knew that his achievements were not easy to come by, in order to ensure the eternal stability of Jiangshan, he began to focus on cultivating young talents after he became emperor, and at the Battle of Yiling, the generals he brought with him were all young generations, such as Zhang Bao, Zhang Nan and others, whose purpose was to train new people and use them to assist Liu Chan in the future. At that time, there were actually many young talents in the Shu Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei only looked down on one person, that is, Ma Mo, who believed that although this person had economic knowledge, he lacked actual combat experience, and his words were mostly exaggerated, so they could not be reused.
In 223 AD, Liu Bei was critically ill, and before he died, he summoned all the ministers of culture and military affairs to Yong'an to explain the aftermath, especially to Zhuge Liang, for which he also slyly said that if his son could not assist, Jun ke could stand on his own, Kong Ming of course knew his intentions, and could only express his loyalty strongly, and Liu Bei finally relaxed his heart when he saw the situation. In addition, he also specially reminded not to use horse rumors, the reason has been said above, this person on paper is greater than the real skill, need more experience to be able to, if you use it in a hurry, you will inevitably suffer the consequences. From then on, the Shu Han Dynasty also knew that the Shu kingdom had such an exaggerated prince.
Although Liu Bei reminded him bitterly, Zhuge Liang did not agree with his views. In his opinion, this person is actually very talented, and this is also the case, and later Ma Mo designed to help him surrender Meng Yue, and then used a divisive strategy to make Cao Rui depose Sima Yi, which reflected his extremely high level of strategy, if he honestly became a staff officer in the army, his level was comparable to Guo Jia. But Kong Ming was a little anxious to succeed, and he hoped that Ma Mo could grow into a general who could stand alone, so he gave him the task of seizing the street kiosk during the Northern Expedition, hoping to let him exercise it.
In fact, the task of this street pavilion guard battle was very simple, as long as he occupied the city before the State of Wei, and then closed the city to hold on, only need to hold the Wei army for a few months, the Shu army could completely subdue the land of Long right, and then Zhuge Liang and his round, to the east can attack Guanzhong. However, he did not expect that Ma Mo had some of his own ideas at that time, that is, his self-esteem, since being denied by Liu Bei, he had been ridiculed in the dprk, he was very eager to prove himself with a big victory, so he would give up the defensive position, stationed the army on the mountain, wanted to wait for the Wei army to come to a decisive battle with it and then defeat it, the result was recognized by Zhang Gao, the Wei army took a siege but not an attack, and between this attack and defense, Ma Mo was defeated.
Conclusion: Liu Bei has been walking in the rivers and lakes for thirty years, and what he relies on most is his ability to see people, but Kong Ming did not believe him. Although he saw that Ma Mo had a talent to create, he ignored his character weakness, and his mistake not only killed Ma Mo, but also led to the most likely successful attack on the Central Plains to end in failure, not only the hopeless restoration of the Central Plains, but also led to the early demise of the Shu Han.
