It is said that the reason why Sima Yi was able to laugh to the end and lead to the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin was because he could survive and live a long life, so how could Sun Quan explain?
Sima Yi was born in 179, and Sun Quan was born in 182. Sima Yi died in 251 and Sun Quan died in 252. But the problem is that Sun Quan has been the boss of Eastern Wu since he was 18 years old, Chibi beat Cao Cao, Yiling destroyed Liu Bei, and ranked among the three major lords of the Three Kingdoms.
Dare to ask, when Sun Zhongmou ran amok, how many people knew which onion Sima Zhongda was? In terms of status and resources, even if Sima Yi rode a few more horses, he would not be able to catch up with Sun Quan. As a result, he was also able to survive and live a long time, and his status and resources were far stronger than Sima Yi's Sun Quan, but he was stunned that he had not been able to unify the three kingdoms.
Therefore, it is obviously irresponsible to blame a person's success on being able to survive and live long.
Just like Sun Quan, when he competed with Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the same stage, it was called kaihang, and according to the ability he showed at that time, it was inferred that once Cao Cao and Liu Bei died, it should obviously be Sun Quan's world. But the fact is that Sun Quan quickly entered a state of "fainting", and even Lu Xun was forced to die by him.
Therefore, when mentioning the contrast between the cattle people of the Three Kingdoms, it has always been cao cao and Liu Bei who broke their wrists, and Sun Quan seemed to have become a cheerleader. It was so easy that these two died, but Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi jumped to the center of the stage again, and this time Sun Quan even lost the role of cheerleader.
Fortunately, no matter what, Cao Cao has a saying that is very powerful: having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou! Let's not discuss whether this sentence is a praise for Sun Quan or a disguised advantage of Sun Quan. Extrapolating only from the literal meaning, Sun Quan and Cao Cao's son Cao Pi were equated. That means as if to say: I Cao Cao and Liu Bei are heroes, you Sun Quan still look for Cao Pi to play.
Cao Pi, born in 187 AD, was five years younger than Sun Quan. The way modern people are accustomed to dividing is: Sun Quan and Cao Pi, the two bosses of the Three Kingdoms, are all proper post-80s. And Sima Yi, who laughed at the end, was after 70.
Therefore, led by Cao Cao, the comparison of who is better than Sun Quan and Cao Pi has thus become a confrontation between the two "Post-80s Cattle People of the Three Kingdoms"!
First, the competition on the starting line
Although he is also a post-80s generation, Sun Quan obviously cannot be compared with Cao Pi. For example, in Cao Pi's self-description, Zeng Niu coaxed: We Cao Pi learned archery at the age of 6, learned to ride a horse at the age of 8, and followed his father to the battlefield at the age of 11. As a result, the battlefield experience that Cao Pi was talking about was the Battle of Wancheng.
Cao Cao was attacked by Zhang Xiu for occupying Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law. Cao Pi's eldest brother Cao Ang, in order to let Cao Cao escape, gave up his horse to Cao Cao, and was killed! This battle profoundly affected the process of the Three Kingdoms, if Cao Ang did not die, where would there be a battle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's sons?
But no matter what, cao pi was safe as his second generation after that. First of all, the five generals of the five senses, the most famous of which was to rob the beautiful woman Zhen Mi that Cao Cao was looking for. Then, at the age of 25, he became a deputy prime minister and stayed in Yecheng. Every time Cao Cao went out on a campaign, he cried and shed tears, in exchange for a piece of praise.
Sun Quan was not as lucky as Cao Pi, and after his father Sun Jian's death, it was his brother Sun Ce who started from scratch and worked hard to get out of the Jiangdong basic disk. So that Sun Ce because the light is too dazzling, people ignore the existence of Sun Quan.
Cao Cao once praised Sun Ce as: Yi'er, it is difficult to fight with the front! This means that this teenager named Sun Ce is too fierce, and he can't be tough in front of his face.
And Yuan Shu even kept a mouthpiece: Make Shu have children like Sun Lang, why hate him after death? That is, if I Yuan Shu can have a son like Sun Ce, I can die, too cattle him!
It was not until Sun Ce was killed that the 18-year-old Sun Quan was pushed to the front. On the outside, there are strong enemies and tigers, and inside there are Jiangnan Gate Valve Clans that trip up - sun Ce's death, strictly speaking, is to die in the Jiangnan Gate Valve Clan, killed by Xu Gongmen. And, of course, the Yamakoshi rebellion! It is equivalent to Sun Quan sitting on the crater!
Obviously in the competition at the starting line, Sun Quan lost to Cao Pi!
But also after the 80s, when Cao Pi was about 18 years old, he was robbing his father's woman. Sun Quan, on the other hand, was quickly "ripened" on the crater. For example, Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, Yan Qi, Bu Qi, Lu Xun, Xu Sheng, Gu Yong, and so on, the backbone of Eastern Wu in the future, all defected shortly after Sun Quan came to power.
Therefore, although the competition on the starting line can make people seize the opportunity, it must be known that life is a long-distance run, how strong the ability is, how high the achievement is, and the decisive role is always their own cultivation. In other words, your parents may be able to decide where you start, but the final ranking depends on yourself!
Second, the contrast between the position of the lord
Sun Quan had two incidents in his position as the master of the people, which profoundly affected the process of the Three Kingdoms. One was the Battle of Chibi. Cao Cao's momentum was fierce, and Liu Chun of Jingzhou was frightened and surrendered directly. Sun Quan chose to fight, this year Sun Quan was 26 years old!
At that time, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan for 50,000 soldiers, but Sun Quan said that he could only give you 30,000, and explained: Lonely Dang continued to send people, loaded with more grain, thought that it was a backup, and when the encounter was not satisfactory, he was still lonely, and Lonely Dang decided with Meng De.
Not only did he express his support and trust for Zhou Yu, but at the same time, in order to cope with the unexpected situation, he left his back hand (20,000 horses) and vowed to fight Cao Cao to the end. When we laugh at "when a child is born like Sun Zhongmou, Hefei gives away 100,000 heads", who pays attention to Sun Quan's domineering and flexible!
Without this domineering spirit, it would be impossible to go on in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms. And only domineering, no flexible wrist, is also doomed, will become a stepping stone for others.
The second time that affected the direction of the Three Kingdoms was the Battle of Yiling. This battle can be described as a direct confrontation between Sun Quan and Cao Pi. In order to avoid Cao Wei taking advantage of Liu Bei's attack on Wu, he took advantage of the fire and robbery. Sun Quan showed his flexibility to the fullest, and directly submitted to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi, who was also the lord of the people, was completely crushed by Sun Quan. The strategist Liu Ye repeatedly reminded Cao Pi not to believe Sun Quan's surrender. But Cao Pi chose to believe. I am afraid that to Cao Pi, cao Cao's words that his father Cao Cao said, "When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou", which deeply stimulated him.
Therefore, Sun Quan surrendered, which made Cao Pi overjoyed, and for a time he had hallucinations, thinking that he was stronger than his father. Therefore, his brain was hot, and sun Quan was named "Great Wei Wu Wang Grand General Jia Jiu Xi".
Shocked, Liu Ye's eyeballs fell off, and he hurriedly persuaded: You have given Sun Quan a big gift, and once this qualification is given, it is equivalent to recognizing Sun Quan's status, and those who disobey Sun Quan will also lose their will to resist. Almost the entire Eastern Wu, and thus all around Sun Quan.
But Cao Pi said: Everyone has surrendered to me, how can I express it, how can I say it without faith and lose faith in the world?
In this way, Sun Quan stabilized Cao Pi, relied on Lu Xun to hang Liu Bei, and then directly turned his face to Cao Pi. Angry, Cao Pi personally enlisted Sun Quan, but he was empty-handed, and made a scene where the laborers moved the masses.
Therefore, in the position of the main person, Cao Pi could not compare with Sun Quan at all, and he was not an opponent at all! And Cao Pi was able to take the most out of his hand, he replaced the Han Dynasty, the founding of the Great Wei, but it is still known as the "usurper of Han". His VIP status as the founding emperor was not recognized, and people were still accustomed to stuffing this VIP identity to Cao Cao!
When Sun Quan compares with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he always gives people the feeling of being a little breathless. That's because Cao Cao and Liu Bei are too cattle, and they both belong to the characters that are rare in a hundred years. However, Compared with Cao Pi, Sun Quan is completely crushed. Therefore, it is no wonder that Cao Cao said: Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. Indeed, Sun Quan was much better than Cao Pi, and no matter how unconvinced Cao Pi was, he had no choice.
