For the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", these historical stories about the Three Kingdoms period, I believe many people are very familiar with it, they can be regarded as the big IP of Chinese history. To ask which historical figures appear in this, which one you like the most, I believe that many people have their own answers in their hearts.
However, to ask who the wisest people were during the Three Kingdoms period, this will probably cause a big debate, but Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, the two most intelligent military divisions, must be representatives of them. Speaking of Zhuge Liang, one of China's famous military experts, no one will not know his name and his story, and the famous article he wrote, "The Table of The Master", is praised by many as a masterpiece that is difficult to produce in a thousand years.
As a loyal and righteous man, he was loyal to Liu Bei, bowed to the Shu kingdom, and he dedicated countless sacrifices to Liu Bei's Jiangshan and the people of the Shu kingdom, it is difficult to imagine what it would have been like if it were the Three Kingdoms period without Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi, who belonged to Cao Cao's side, although not as famous as Zhuge Liang, was still the most important general under Cao Cao.
He assisted Cao Cao in pacifying Liaodong, and after Cao Cao's death, Sima Yi served as an important military and political minister to stabilize Cao Wei's situation, and remained loyal to assist the monarch until his death. Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, the two military masters, although they are their own masters, are loyal and loyal soldiers who love the country and the people, and the two have too many similarities.
In addition, both Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had left their last plans for their monarchs before their deaths. So what are the strategies of these two people?
Why would some people say that Zhuge Liang's schemes were obviously higher than Sima Yi's? First, let's look at the last plan left by Sima Yi. Before his death, Sima Yi left a will saying that his descendants would bury themselves in Shouyang Mountain, but they were not allowed to build tombs or build cemeteries. At the same time, after his death, he can be buried directly in his usual dress, without other red tape. At the same time, in his tomb, Sima Yi did not let his descendants put any funerary goods, and the most important point was that Sima Yi did not allow his family to be buried with him.
Speaking of this, everything is very obvious, and the reason why Sima Yi handled his tomb so low-key was mainly to prevent anyone from discovering it. So why did he do that? According to historical records, Sima Yi had paved the way for his descendants to firmly grasp the power of the Sima family during his lifetime, so he did nothing wrong with his opponents by burning and looting. Sima Yi was very worried that if these people knew the location of his tomb, they would inevitably retaliate against him.
Moreover, at that time, the world was in chaos, the three kingdoms divided the Central Plains, thieves were frequent, and the people's lives were ruined, and it was inevitable that some people would rob his tomb for money. In order to avoid this situation, Sima Yi could only do this. Before Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu kingdom was in a stage of instability, and Zhuge Liang was also on the battlefield at that time. It was precisely because he had accumulated so much to fight for days that he finally fell on the battlefield, and the war was not over at that time.
Therefore, before dying, the first thing Zhuge Liang did was to arrange a plan for the withdrawal of troops. In addition, for his tomb, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had almost the same arrangement. Zhuge Liang said before his death that he hoped that his descendants would bury him in Dingjun Mountain, and that everything would be from Jane and would not need any funeral objects. At the same time, in order not to let anyone know about his grave, he also thought of a strange plan. That is, to order the four strong men to carry their coffins with ropes and continue south until the ropes are broken, and that place is where he is buried.
In fact, if only from the above description, the two people's schemes seem to be unable to see who is high and who is low, and the two people have achieved their own goals to this day, that is, not to expose their own cemetery, why do many people still say that Zhuge Liang's last plan before his death is superior to Sima Yi?
In fact, this statement is not difficult to understand, from the historical data recorded zhuge Liang, we can see that he spent his whole life running for himself, never did anything for his own interests, until his death is still a two-sleeved breeze, is a full-fledged Qing official, left a heroic name. However, Sima Yi's reputation in history was not very good, he not only killed many Cao clan relatives for his own family interests, but also intended to steal Cao Wei Jiangshan, and on the whole, Zhuge Liang was indeed skilled.
