During the Three Kingdoms period, wars were constantly raging and the flames were raging, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu fought in the Central Plains for several years. During this period, many heroes also emerged, all of whom were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons, and shone brightly in this competition. The strategist is an indispensable figure of power and a crucial factor in the success of a force.
There are many people who, when they think of war, first think of people like generals, because they are the ones who really lead the troops to fight. However, most of the time, the general only has the ability to lead the army to fight, and most of them will lack wisdom and strategy. Strategists, on the other hand, are able to gain insight into national events and strategize in war. Between the lupines, the trees ashes. For example, Zhuge Liang, the top strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, if he had not had Zhuge Liang's help, Liu Bei might have been defeated by the other two forces, not to mention the later establishment of the Shu state regime.
Zhuge Liang
During the Three Kingdoms period, they were all Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and although they usually did not show mountain dew, they were also strategic. They only do not like war, do not care about so-called fame and fortune. Therefore, most of them have been living in seclusion for many years, but even if they are reclusive in the world, some people are highly respected by people. We usually refer to these people as hermits, such as oniguzi, and everyone is very familiar with them. But he was extremely mysterious, and few people had ever seen him. But his four apprentices were well known and were all very powerful figures at the time.
Oniguzi has only been out of the mountain gate once in her life, but there are many disciples. Among them, four of the most famous disciples are Pang Juan, Sun Zhen, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi. Each of them was a very important figure at the time, influencing the war situation at that time. Oniguzi himself was even honored by posterity as "Seeking Holiness". It is revered as the originator in various fields.
Ghost Valley
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were also some hermits who did not pursue fame and fortune and retired to the rivers and lakes. For example, at that time, Zhuge Liang was originally a cloth cloth of Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, living his own ordinary life. In the end, liu beisan was willing to go out of the mountain after Gu Maolu. Two of these hermits were also known as top strategists at the time, and although they retired to the world, they played a crucial role at that time.
The first is Sima Hui, who is revered as "Mr. Water Mirror". Sima Hui is very knowledgeable and has the wisdom of people. Although he was a hermit, he had recommended two to Liu Bei. And these two people are Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who are widely known to everyone. Liu Bei also got these two people, so that he could turn his forces into a strong force, and only then could he have the capital to compete with the other two forces. Sima Hui was later acquired by Cao Cao during Cao Cao's southern expedition, and Cao Cao wanted to reuse him, but it was not long before Sima Hui died of illness.
Sima Hui
He himself has also circulated some well-known stories. According to legend, once a man lost a pig in his family, he was indiscriminate, thinking that the pig of Sima Hui's family was the one he had lost. Sima Hui didn't explain much about this, so he gave the pig of his own family to this person. Who knows, after a few days, that person actually found the pig he lost, only to learn that he was wrong to blame Sima Hui, and at the same time understand that Sima Hui was generous and did not care about himself, and felt ashamed. He hurriedly sent the pig back and quickly confessed his mistake. Sima Hui was indeed generous, and instead of blaming him for this, he thanked him for being able to correct his mistakes and sent the pigs back. Afterwards, there was the story of Sima Hui pushing the pig to make people.
Another time, someone said to Liu Biao: "Sima Hui is a strange person, and getting him will definitely help you." So Liu Biao's son Liu Chun went to see Sima Hui, when Liu Chun passed by a farmland and saw a farmer farming. Let the retinue inquire about Sima Hui's residence. At that time, the person who was cultivating in the farmland was Sima Hui, and he replied, "I am Sima Hui." However, the retinue not only did not believe it, but also scolded: "As a slave who cultivates land, you dare to call yourself Sima Hui." ”
Sima Hui also felt helpless after hearing this, so he had to go home to change his clothes and tidy up his hair. Go out again to meet Liu Chun. The entourage saw that the farmer was Sima Hui, and his face changed greatly, knowing that he had made a big mistake, and he hurriedly told Liu Chun. After Liu Chun listened, he hurriedly got up and apologized to Sima Hui. Sima Hui smiled and said to Liu Chun, "You don't have to do this, I feel very ashamed of this." I cultivate myself in the fields, and only you know. ”
During the silkworm season, a family's silkworm should be cocooned, but there was nowhere to put on the cluster, so they hurriedly borrowed foil from Sima Hui's family. Sima Hui happily lent him the tufts of foil that his family was also anxious to use. When others knew about this, they came to ask him: "When others come to borrow things, they can only lend to others when they are in urgent need of others and they are idle. But now that he and you are desperately in need of foil, why lend it to others? Sima Hui replied with a smile: "Others have not usually asked me, and it is hard to come to me once today, and if I don't lend it to him, I will feel very ashamed." Where is the truth that people are ashamed of what is outside of them? ”
There is also Hu Zhao, mentioning Hu Zhao, we all know that his calligraphy is very famous. However, not only was his calligraphy famous, he was also Sima Yi's teacher. He never served as an official in his life, claiming to be just a student in the wild. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao repeatedly invited him to assist him, but both were rejected by Hu Zhao. When Hu Zhao was in Jizhou to take refuge, Yuan Shao invited him to become an official, but Hu Zhao refused him, resigned Yuan Shao's appointment, and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.
Hu Zhao
Later, after Cao Cao served as chancellor, he was frequently recruited. Reluctantly, Hu Zhao said to Cao Cao: "I am just a student in the opposition, and I have no use for state affairs. Cao Cao saw that he was so determined in his heart, so he no longer insisted: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and I will not force you." So Hu Zhao lived deep in the Luhun Mountains, cultivating in the farmland every day and concentrating on studying the scriptures.
During Hu Zhao's seclusion, he began to receive disciples. Sima Yi was once his student, which is not fictional. In the relevant records, Hu Zhao saw that Sima Yi thought he was a talent that could be created, so he poured out his heart on him. After Sima Yi studied and became a talent, he went down the mountain to assist Cao Cao. There must also be a little instruction from Hu Zhao, otherwise why is it not Sun Liu who is assisted. It can be seen that Hu Zhao was also very clear about the situation at that time and had an insight into the general trend of the world.
Sima Hui and Hu Zhao lived in the mountains as hermits all their lives, but they influenced the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.
