In the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan fought many major wars in order to chase after the Central Plains, and among the three military groups, Cao Cao's strength was the strongest, Sun Quan was second, and Liu Bei was the weakest.
It is worth noting that Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan, Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang recommended Pang Tong to Liu Bei, so among the three people recommended, Lu Su, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong, who had the greatest influence on the pattern of the Three Kingdoms?
To say that the biggest impact, the first is Lu Su.
Zhou Yu recommended the record of Lu Su to Sun Quan, see "The Biography of Lu Su in the Three Kingdoms Zhi": When Yu recommended Su to be Yi Zuo, when he asked for a comparison, in order to succeed in karma, he could not be ordered to go. The right is to see the solemnity, and the language is very pleasant.
Why is it that among the three people, the most influential is Lu Su?
This is because Lu Su had three practices, which had a profound impact on the pattern at that time.
First, Lu Su analyzed the situation in the world for Sun Quan and was the first to propose three points. Lu Su's proposed three divisions of the world, namely Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan, predate Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair".
Second, Lu Su was the first to propose to Sun Quan to establish the imperial industry, and made the best planning and design for Sun Quan. Maybe sun quan never wanted to be an emperor before he met Lu Su, and after meeting Lu Su, Sun Quan felt that I could still be an emperor!
Third, Lu Su advocated uniting with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao and establish the Sun Liu Alliance, and it was the Sun Liu Alliance that allowed Zhou Yu to defeat Cao Cao in one battle at the Battle of Chibi, laying the historical pattern of three divisions of the world. Otherwise, perhaps Sun Quan surrendered, or perhaps Sun Quan and Liu Bei were destroyed by Cao Cao one by one.
Therefore, Lu Su had the greatest influence on the historical pattern of the entire Three Kingdoms.
The second most influential was Pang Tong.
Zhuge Liang recommended to Liu Bei the record of Pang Tong, see "Three Kingdoms Zhi Pang Tong Biography": Zhuge Liang also said to the first lord, the first lord and the good Tan, the great instrument, thinking that it was engaged in the rule. Treating Zhuge Liang personally, he and Liang became the generals of the military division.
Why is the second pang? And not Guo Jia?
This was because Pang Tong plotted three strategies for Liu Bei to attack Yizhou, laying a solid foundation for Liu Bei to occupy the entire Yizhou.
Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, must expand the territory, the west to take Yizhou, so left Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu and others to defend Jingzhou, Liu Bei himself with Pang Tong to attack Yizhou, when Liu Bei hesitated, ready to retreat, Pang Tong for Liu Bei planned three strategies for Liu Bei, the upper, middle and lower, in the end, Liu Bei chose the middle plan.
Although Pang Tong was killed by an arrow during the siege of the city, Pang Tong's plan for Liu Bei to take the river was very important to Liu Bei's clique, and eventually Liu Bei crossed Jing and Yi Erzhou and captured Hanzhong, and his power reached its peak.
Finally, why is Guo Jia the least influential among the three?
First look at Xun Yu's recommendation of Guo Jia, see the "Biography of Guo Jia in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms": Taizu and Xun Yu shu said: "Since the death of Zhicai, Mo Ke and the planner. Ru, Yinggu Doqishi, who can follow? " Yu Recommend Jia.
Although Guo Jia was known as the Countless Strategy, he made many great contributions to the growth of Cao Cao's clique, for example, helping Cao Cao destroy Lü Bu, helping Cao Cao pacify Wu Huan, and calculating that Sun Ce died at the hands of Pi Fu, especially the last plan ding Liaodong, really achieved the Exhaustive Strategy.
However, Guo Jia for the entire Cao Cao clique, without Guo Jia, Cao Cao could still defeat Lü Bu, defeat Wu Huan, and pacify Liaodong, sun Ce should still be assassinated, but Cao Cao needed to defeat those people a little longer, and it was still possible to change to Xun Yu to give advice.
If Lu Su and Pang Tong are like the designers who built the building, designing the drawings, then Guo Jia is equivalent to the construction party who built the building, and in the specific construction process, try to make the building build a little stronger and look better.
Therefore, Lu Su and Pang Tong are both strategists, while Guo Jia is a master of tactics, and it is clear who has a greater influence.
