Zhuge Liang becomes angry and closely questions and says to Ma Su: You are not calling the well-read in book on military strategy and tactics, the person who familiars with tactics? You should have known how important Jie Ting is for us, what is more, how innumerably I gave you warnings and repeated exhortations when I saw your departure. If you listen to the advising of Wang Ping early, what to having this? Su Ma only takes the deep blame by oneself, bows his head to receive military criminal code, only begs his old mother off with eighty years old. Zhuge Liang ordered attendants to tie him and take out for execution, but called back and consoled him with kind speech, appeared much reluctant to see his death.
