At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the princes competed for hegemony, among which the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were established, and the success of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan was no accident, and their own outstanding ability and witty mind were the necessary requirements for a commander, in addition, the strategists and generals under them were the most important. Throughout the five thousand years of the development of our country' history, a successful monarch must have the help of many virtuous people to achieve great things.
As the biggest winner of the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had the most powerful group of counselors in the Three Kingdoms period, and his subordinates Guo Jia and Sima Yi were among the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao is famous in history for cherishing talents, and he likes to recruit talents and good generals, but Zhuge Liang, known as the first strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, belongs to the Shu Han camp, Cao Cao is a thirsty person, with hundreds of strategists, why did no one recommend Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao? Why didn't Cao Cao include him in his account?
Zhuge Liang can be described as a household name in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and his strategic ability is the first person in the Three Kingdoms, and he is one of the most critical figures to promote the development of shu Han. Liu Bei's allusion to "Three Gu Maolu" is a major interesting event in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in the mountains and old forests for many years, and did not have any communication with the outside world, only a few people knew. Therefore, no matter how large the group of advisers under Cao Cao was, and Cao Cao was in the far north, it was impossible to know the existence of Zhuge Liang. Secondly, if you want to know Zhuge Liang, you have to go through the introduction of acquaintances, Xu Shu, as one of Zhuge Liang's few friends, was a strategist under Liu Bei's account earlier, and later was forcibly dragged into Cao Wei's camp by Cao Cao, Xu Shu had to propose Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei had Xu Shu's recommendation to find Zhuge Liang.
Later, as Zhuge Liang's strategy in the Shu Han army gradually became famous, Cao Cao realized that there were still such intelligent people in the world, but it was too late at this time. Although Cao Cao's group of advisers was large, most of them revolved around Runan, Yingchuan, and the circle was over-solidified, so most of them were introduced by relatives and friends, so it was impossible to get to know Zhuge Liang. And under Cao Cao's coercion, Xu Shu already hated Cao Cao, and he naturally could not introduce Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao, so from the very beginning, Zhuge Liang would not become Cao Cao's adviser.
Cao Cao was already an extremely powerful prince during the Three Kingdoms period, and the world's talented strategists were at his disposal, and the number of strategists around him had already reached hundreds of people, so he naturally did not set his sights on Zhuge Liang, who was not famous. No matter how Cao Cao imagined, he would not have imagined that the nameless zhuge Liang would promote the powerful development of Shu Han and become his greatest enemy in the future.
Cao Cao's legions of strategists are well known in history, they are numerous and work together, but they lack the addition of fresh blood, and excessively fixed circles have advantages and disadvantages. Cao Cao's grand cause has always been dominant during the Three Kingdoms period, and eventually became the victorious side, but imagine that if Zhuge Liang joined, then the Cao Wei camp would unify the world at a faster speed.
