People who are familiar with history know that the history of the Three Kingdoms has produced many talents. At that time, in addition to the brave warriors such as Yu Yu and Zhang Fei, there were also strategists like Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Zhou Yu. These strategists should not be underestimated, because they provided their lord with all kinds of tricks, which made the struggle between the three kingdoms more and more magnificent and exciting. So, who are the Ten Great Counselors of the Three Kingdoms? Cao Cao had only six people, and Sima Yi could only rank fourth!
The tenth place is Xun You
Although Cao Cao was surrounded by a large number of talents, at the beginning of the conquest of the world, Cao Cao did not have many people available around him. At that time, there was a man named Xun You who was the most talented strategist around Cao Cao, and it was with his help that Cao Cao was able to defeat strong enemies like Lü Bu and Yuan Shao one after another. It can be said that the reason why Cao Cao was able to have a later hegemony was also inseparable from Xun You's efforts.
The ninth place is discouragement
Long before the three kingdoms were formed, the crowd was chasing deer, and the most powerful person at that time was Yuan Shao, because he gathered the world's talents around him. As a strategist under Yuan Shao, frustrated with a unique and long-term strategic vision, he was even the first to propose that Yuan Shao threaten the Son of Heaven to order the princes. If Yuan Shao listened to his advice, then perhaps he was the one who dominated the world.
The eighth place is Xu Shu
Speaking of Xu Shu, this person is also a skilled strategist. Before Xu Shu surrendered to Liu Bei, Liu Bei could be said to have been defeated repeatedly and was not Cao Cao's opponent at all. Later, with the appearance of Xu Shu, he soon helped Liu Bei fight several beautiful turnaround battles. Because of this, Cao Cao was very red-eyed, so he used a poisonous plan to kidnap Xu Shu's mother, and finally Xu Shu had to take the initiative to switch to Cao Ying.
Seventh place is Lu Su
Many people may think that the most powerful strategist under Sun Quan is Zhou Yu, after all, he is talented and resourceful. In fact, it was not, because there was a person who was better than Zhou Yu, and this person was Lu Su. At the beginning, it was precisely under the efforts of Lu Su that Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined forces together, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms also appeared. It can be seen from this that Lu Su is by no means an idle person.
Sixth place is Pang Tong
Among the Shu Han, the only person who could match Zhuge Liang in terms of planning was Pang Tong. Pang Tong was known as The Phoenix Chick and was a famous strategist who was famous all over the world at that time. Liu Bei always cherished talents, so he quickly took Pang Tong under his command. Pang Tong also made great contributions during his service for Liu Bei, but unfortunately he was killed by a random arrow at Luofengpo very early, and he could not continue to advise Liu Bei.
The fifth place is Jia Xu
Although Jia Xu was a strategist on Cao Cao's side, he could not propose a clever plan for Cao Cao like Xun You and Guo Jia. Because of this, Jia Xu was an unknown person from beginning to end. However, Jia Xu was not useless, after all, he was always able to solve cao Cao's worries and difficulties, and once advised Cao Cao not to abolish Chang Liyou during the battle of the sons of the world, thus saving Cao Pi. Therefore, Cao Cao would always keep him by his side.
The fourth place was Sima Yi
Sima Yi was also an outstanding strategist, one of the few people in the Cao camp who could compete with Zhuge Liang in terms of strategy. In Sima Yi's legendary life, the biggest opponent was Zhuge Liang. The two of them fight each other endlessly. Although Zhuge Liang is always slightly superior, in fact, Zhuge Liang is also very jealous of Sima Yi a lot of times, after all, this is a difficult opponent.
The third place is Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang, known as Wolong, was originally invited by Liu Beisan Gu Maolu to be a military master. He was brilliant and helped Liu Bei defeat his enemies countless times. In addition, Zhuge Liang also made suggestions for the development and growth of Shu Han, and Liu Bei had the strength to continue to compete with Cao Cao and Sun Quan for the right to rule the world. Although Zhuge Liang could not make Shu Guo laugh to the end with his life's efforts, he was still a god-like being.
The second place is Guo Jia
He was talented and deeply loved by Cao Cao. With the help of Guo Jia, Cao Cao was able to quickly increase his own strength and thus dominate one side. At the beginning, as long as Guo Jia participated in the big war, he would provide all kinds of tips and tricks, so Cao Cao almost achieved a hundred battles and a hundred victories. Unfortunately, however, Guo Jia died very early. This also made Cao Cao more and more passive in the struggle against Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and even suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Chibi.
The first place is Xun Yu
Like Guo Jia, Xun Yu was an outstanding strategist under Cao Cao. Xun Yu can not only give advice in combat, but also be very good at recommending talents. The Guo Jia and Sima Yi we are familiar with were both used by Cao Cao because of Xun Yu's recommendation, and with the help of these talents, Cao Cao also made himself the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms.
