In the Three Kingdoms, there were two super prodigies, one was Cao Cao's beloved son Cao Chong, and the other was named Zhou Buxian. Cao Chong is no stranger to everyone, he has been clever and clever since he was a child, and at the age of 5, he staged the classic story of the famous "Cao Chong calling an elephant". So, who is Zhou Buxian?
Zhou was undoubtedly a lingling native from a family of scholars, and he was Liu Xian's nephew. Zhou Buxian has shown amazing learning talent since he was a child, never forgetting to read books, and can be memorized backwards after reading it once. Because he was too clever, no one dared to be his teacher. At that time, Liu Ba was a famous scholar in the Jingzhou area, a very wise figure. Later, when the Shu Han Dynasty was established, Liu Ba easily solved the economic problems that plagued Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang repeatedly praised Liu Ba's wisdom and modestly claimed that his level was far above his own.
Zhou Buxi's uncle had a very good relationship with Liu Ba, so he wanted Zhou Bu to worship Liu Ba as his teacher. As a result, Liu Ba actually refused, because Zhou Bu was too smart, and he was afraid that he was not qualified for the position of teacher.
This can also prove from the side that Zhou Bu doubts the high level of intelligence.
When Cao Cao personally led a large army to the south, Liu Zong, the leader of Jingzhou, led all the generals to surrender, and Cao Cao easily took Jingzhou, a military stronghold. At this time, Zhou Buxian told his family that this place in Jingzhou could not live for a long time, there would be war in the future, and if he could move to Xudu, he could sit back and relax. The Zhou family followed Zhou Buxi's advice and moved to Xuchang with their family.
Facts proved that Zhou Bu doubted that things were like gods, and Cao Cao, who later claimed to be a million heroes, was defeated by Liu Sun's combined forces in the Battle of Chibi, and as a result, Jingzhou also changed hands several times and became a place of war.
And Zhou Bu doubted that after xuchang continued to study, he and Cao Chong were similar in age, and they were both called prodigies since childhood, and they actually became good friends. Zhou Buxian often went to the Xiang Mansion to study with Cao Chong, and Cao Cao had already heard of Zhou Buxuan's intelligence and looked at him differently.
Later, Wu Huan in the north occupied Liucheng, and Cao Cao attacked Liucheng for a long time, and he was very worried. When Zhou Buxian came to play with Cao Chong, he saw Cao Cao's sad face, and when he learned of the situation, he stepped forward, saying that he had ten ways to break the city and could choose at will. After carefully considering these schemes, Cao Cao selected a strategy that best suited Cao's army, and indeed easily attacked Liucheng and captured hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. From then on, Cao Cao paid more attention to Zhou Buxi.
Zhou Bu doubted what plan he had formulated, which was not recorded in the history books, but he was certainly a brilliant plan. After moving back to the dynasty, suddenly the heavens descended on Xiangrui, and a white sparrow flew from the palace, so Cao Cao ordered the Confucians to write poems and praise the Han Dynasty. After Zhou Buxian got the pen and paper, he waved it away, and Cao Cao was greatly appreciated after seeing the article, and then thought of the wonderful plan, and wanted to marry his daughter to Zhou Buxi on the spot. As a result, Zhou's unquestionable approach was unexpected: it was politely rejected.
Just a year after Liucheng had finished fighting, Cao Cao suffered a major blow — Cao Chong died unexpectedly. Cao Cao once trained Cao Chong as a successor. However, it is a pity that Cao Chong suddenly suffered from an incurable disease and suddenly died prematurely, and Cao Cao was also saddened by this.
At this time, Cao Cao's heir became Cao Pi, and the relationship between Cao Pi and Zhou Buxian was also very good, at this time, Zhou Buxian was only 17 years old, and the future prospects were unlimited. However, Cao Cao did not think so, and he found that Zhou Bu was really too smart and had lofty ambitions, which was really a threat to Cao Pi. Although Cao Pi was cunning enough, he was far worse than Cao Cao, and even worse than the prodigy Cao Chong.
In order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, Cao Cao decided to send someone to assassinate Zhou Buxian. As the actual ruler, Cao Cao wanted to give Death Zhou no doubt that it was only a matter of one sentence, and finding an assassin to attack was precisely to show that Cao Cao was afraid of striking grass and snakes.
When Cao Pi heard about it, he hurried over to persuade his father. At that time, Cao Pi was determined to succeed in the heir, he knew Zhou Buxi's talent, if he ascended to the throne in the future, Zhou Buxian would definitely be a powerful assistant.
After Cao Cao heard Cao Pi say this, he reprimanded Cao Pi and said 7 words: You can't control him!
After hearing this, Cao Pi suddenly realized that Cao Cao was for him to remove the obstacles on the road to imperial power. As a result, Cao Cao's assassins had not yet struck, Cao Pi first showed his sword, and he sent someone to kill Zhou Buxi that night, and a generation of prodigies died Xu Chang, which was a pity.
However, Cao Cao, worried that his son would not be able to use Zhou Bu doubt this person, set his sights on the brilliant Zhou Bu Doubt, and killed the killer to eliminate the troubles, but he forgot that there was a more tolerant "old prodigy" Sima Yi, and as a result, this "old prodigy" took advantage of the loophole and successfully stole the results of Cao Wei's regime.
