This person is the smartest person in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who only appeared twice but changed the trend of the world!
In the history of China for more than 5,000 years, there have been many great wizards, who know astronomy from above, geography from below, five hundred years before, and five hundred years after, and between strategizing and strategizing, they will win thousands of miles away. Such people are god-like beings, who are scheming and resourceful, and who are enviable. As we all know, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period and Liu Bowen during the Ming Dynasty were such people.
But did you know? In the Three Kingdoms, this talent is the most ingenious person in the Three Kingdoms, although he only appeared twice in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he changed the trend of the world! Who is this person?
This person was Zhuge Liang's master and father-in-law, named Huang Chengyan. He appears only twice in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but his presence cannot be ignored.
Everyone knows that the reason why Zhuge Liang wanted to follow Liu Bei was that he was moved by Liu Beisan's Gu Maolu, and second, he took a fancy to Liu Bei's heroic spirit and believed that he could make a big cause. Liu Bei later established the Shu Han regime, but his ideals were ultimately not realized. In fact, Huang Chengyan had already predicted what would happen later, and he knew that Liu Bei could not unify the heavens. Huang Chengyan also predicted Liu Bei's ending in "Liang Fu yin", and although the singing was very cryptic, the "prophecy" in it later came true.
In addition, there is one more thing that can be seen in Huang Chengyan's clever calculations. During the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun used the strategy of burning the company camp and defeated Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops. At that time, Lu Xun originally wanted to sweep Liu Jun out. But later Zhuge Liang used a ruse to introduce Lu Xun into the "Eight Arrays" he designed. This formation has a flaw, that is, to kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred. There is no doubt that relying on this formation alone cannot really stop Lu Xun's army, and sooner or later the army will have to break through the siege!
Just at this moment, Huang Chengyan suddenly appeared on the battlefield, he rescued Lu Xun, and told him that the three kingdoms had been formed and could not be changed. When Lu Xun learned of this, he rushed back to Jiangdong with a large army, and Liu Bei escaped the disaster
I have to say that Huang Chengyan is really a great person, he first predicted the rise of the Three Kingdoms, and single-handedly slowed down the situation of world unification, did not let Wei Jun have an opportunity, and his strength was evident.
In the end, I think Huang Chengyan is the most ingenious person in the Three Kingdoms. Otherwise, how could he cultivate someone like Zhuge Liang?
