During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, including a great general who defeated Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi defeated Zhao Yun at the same time. But why does everyone say that he is a wreck?
This person was Cao Zhen, a famous general of the State of Wei. Speaking of Cao Zhen's lineage, Cao Zhen was raised by Cao Cao from an early age and was loyal to the State of Wei. Moreover, he was able to write and fight, was proficient in the art of war, and was a leading figure in the late three kingdoms period.
Zhuge Liang was called Zhisheng by later generations at that time. Throughout the Three Kingdoms for decades, how many warriors were planted in his hands, but it is inconceivable that in the historical records, he was twice defeated by Cao Zhen. Zhuge Liang, who was fascinated, arrived in front of Cao Zhen, and the plan was seen through by him like a trick. Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang first met at Qishan, when Zhuge Liang's three-way army was found by Cao Zhen as a weak link, so Cao Zhen attacked it. Capturing the street pavilion defended by Ma Mo caused Zhuge Liang's flank to be threatened, so he hurriedly withdrew. Nothing.
The second time Zhuge Liang chose to go to Chen Cang, he unexpectedly sneaked into the Chen Cang town of the Wei State. Unexpectedly, Cao Zhen was a very far-sighted person, and his eyes were like candles. Anticipating Zhuge Liang's careful thinking, hao Zhao, an expert in defensive warfare, was arranged in advance to set up an ambush in Chen Cangcheng. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, felt Chen Cangcheng day and night, and only then did he know that the Wei army knew that he was coming, set up a defense, and had no choice but to change the sneak attack into a strong attack.
Hao Zhao stubbornly defended Chen Cang for more than 20 days, until the Wei reinforcements arrived, and at this time Zhuge Liang had run out of grain and grass, helpless, withdrew his army again, and returned home.
And Sima Yi of the State of Wei, his wolf ambitions, cunning and resourcefulness in front of Cao Zhen can not be unleashed, Cao Cao has noticed that Sima Yi must be a big hidden danger in the future, but did not make up his mind to get rid of him, this aspect is to pity the talent, second, is to think that Cao Zhen is in control of the dynasty, he can not turn the sky.
Cao Zhen, who was regarded as an adopted son by Cao Cao, had a very valuable status and was even more talented. The reputation of zhuge liang, who lost twice, has long been prestigious. Just these two points can throw Sima Yi away two streets.
Finally, let's talk about that.
Why was the Three Kingdoms general Zhao Zilong also defeated by Cao Zhen's men, and when he set out for Qishan with Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong also led a group of men and horses as a feint attacking force. Cao Zhen, out of caution, feared that Zhao Zilong would attack the Wei state of Chang'an, personally led a large army to confront Zhao Zilong, and after the Victory of the Wei army at Jieting, Cao Zhen decisively led his troops to attack Zhao Zilong, because the disparity between his own and Cao Zhen's troops was too great and he was not an opponent, and eventually withdrew.
And the most regrettable thing is that the famous novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that circulated in the world portrayed Cao Zhen of hero I as a clumsy boy who did not learn and had no skills. As a result, for thousands of years, there have been rumors of false rumors, and everyone thinks that Cao Zhen is really a waste, and it is really a wish.
