As the saying goes, famous teachers make high disciples, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other cattle people in the Three Kingdoms, their teachers are super cattle people.
For example, Cao Cao. When he was a teenager, Cao Cao was bohemian and did not like to read, and almost no one in the local area looked up to him. However, there is one person who is an exception--Liang Guoqiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan was no ordinary person, he was a famous courtier during the han huan emperor and the han ling emperor, and the official was a lieutenant. Such a cattle, however, took the initiative to recruit Cao Cao as a disciple, and said to him meaningfully: "The world will be in chaos, and those who are not destined to be able to help those who are not destined for the world cannot help them. ”
Under the teaching and support of Qiao Xuan, Cao Cao "knew shame and then braved" and became extremely diligent and hardworking. It is from Qiao Xuan that he learned a lot of knowledge and the way to deal with the world, at the same time, Cao Cao also combined his hobbies to study the art of war, which also laid a good foundation for Cao Cao's future development and domination of the Central Plains.
Cao Cao's nemesis, Liu Bei, was originally a grassroots, he lost his father at an early age, relied on his mother to weave mats and sell shoes for a living, Liu Bei traveled abroad to study at the age of 15, and at the recommendation of Gongsun Zhan, he worshiped Lu Zhi as a teacher.
Lu Zhi was, of course, also a cattle man—a classicist and general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although he was a great Confucian, he was able to write and fight, and he was an official to the rank of general. Cao Cao's evaluation of him was: "The model of the soldier, the country of Zhen Gan also"!
Liu Bei learned a lot of skills from Lu Zhi, especially Lu Zhi's resolute style of work deeply affected him. Later, Liu Bei counterattacked from a poor and white to a hegemon, and it was precisely by virtue of this tenacity and perseverance.
Next, let's focus on the situation of Sima Yi, the biggest winner of the Three Kingdoms.
Sima Yi's super talent was inseparable from the teachings of his master, Hu Zhao. Hu Zhao also belongs to one of the most mysterious hermits in the Three Kingdoms, and his characters are called Kong Ming like Zhuge Liang, which is purely coincidental, but it is also a fate.
Hu Zhao was famous for his talent at an early age, so before the struggle for hegemony had even begun, there were many "careerists" who came to pull him into the company. Even Cao Cao once wanted to pull Hu Zhao under his command.
But Hu Zhao's approach was unexpected and he refused. Legend has it that in order to get Hu Zhao, Cao Cao also tied him up from the deep mountains and old forests, but Hu Zhao just did not comply. In the end, Cao Cao did not want to fall under the name of killing the virtuous, so he had to let him go.
After returning to his hometown, Hu Zhao no longer went into hiding, but opened a school in "Luhun Mountain" with great fanfare, and as a result, many people came to study.
Among them was Sima Yi. Sima Yi was already a well-known talent at that time, but he was very low-key in front of Hu Zhao, so he was very important to Hu Zhao, and he passed on his skills and knowledge to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi also lived up to expectations, and often prepared bamboo to carefully record the soldiers' books, formations, and ways of governing the country taught by his master. Of course, the most powerful move he learned from Hu Zhao was not the art of war, not strategy, but the way of being a man - concealment.
We all know that Zhuge Liang, who was almost deified as a "demon" by his descendants, bowed down to the Shu kingdom all his life, but in the end he failed to fulfill his wish to revive the Han Dynasty, and ended up with hatred. Although there are many objective reasons, what is more important is that there is a roadblock - Sima Yi.
The confrontation between the two people also fascinated posterity, Zhuge Liang used all kinds of methods to force Sima Yi to fight, but Sima Yi never wavered, even if Zhuge Liang sent women's clothes, he also generously put on it to show people. As a result, Zhuge Liang was not angry with Sima Yi, but he was angry with himself.
This shows how deep Sima Yi's concealment is, and how deep Tao is.
Sima Yi, who went out, used the word "hidden forbearance" to cope with all changes in order to not change, and gradually became a heavy vassal of Cao Wei and gradually strengthened the power of the Sima family. Finally, even after the successive deaths of Cao Cao and Cao Pi's father and son, when the time was ripe, they launched the "Gaopingling Revolution", laying a solid foundation for their descendants to establish the Jin Dynasty.
It can be said that Sima Yi not only used the "Shouzi Trick" to successfully kill Zhuge Liang, but also used the "Shouzi Trick" to seize the Cao Clan Jiangshan.
Sima Yi has always had great respect for his master Hu Zhao, which can be seen from the names he gave to his two sons, the eldest son is called Sima Shi, the younger son is called Sima Zhao, and the name of Master Hu Zhao is hidden in it, which can be said to be the greatest respect for the teacher.
