The continuous change of dynasties in the long history of China over the past five thousand years has also given birth to many outstanding historical figures, relying on many surviving historical relics notes and records, we also have a relatively clear understanding of the historical celebrities of various periods, and looking back at the life deeds of these characters again, we can't help but sigh Chinese wisdom is really admirable.
In the feudal society period, the selection and appointment of talents were also attached, and the main force of a generation of Ming monarchs to govern the country also came from the concerted efforts of a group of good ministers and generals, so the identification of talents was particularly important. In ancient times, there were only two kinds of talents, one was military ability to lead troops to fight, the other was resourceful analysis of the political situation was reasonable and well-founded, and both were the luck of a ming king.
Just as the so-called ancient truth, "heroes in a chaotic world", in this turbulent social environment, there must be some talents. The Three Kingdoms period is a typical example, the Three Kingdoms are divided into government, and the situation of the three-legged standing is indispensable to the assistance of outstanding talents, and today's focus is on two military divisions of equal wisdom at that time, one is Zhuge Liang, the other is Sima Yi, and the two are often compared.
Zhuge Liang needless to say, his military talent is very powerful and even a little deified, but it did make great contributions to the establishment and development of the Shu state, until his death, he also did his duty as a generation of courtiers, which can be described as bowing down, and after death, and the war with the other two countries was also many unexpected, with less victory, fully demonstrated his military talent, respected by many people.
Sima Yi was also a presence to be reckoned with during the Three Kingdoms period, and as a military and politician of the State of Wei, he also had an extremely important position. Sima Yi himself was gifted and knowledgeable from an early age, and the Sima family also assisted generations of rulers in the State of Wei. Sima Yi also made many contributions to the State of Wei, twice leading a large army to successfully resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, pacifying the Liaodong region, and also providing suggestions and suggestions for the agricultural development of the State of Wei at that time, which had a great effect on its good development.
Many people think that Zhuge Liang is definitely superior in terms of planning and wisdom, because the famous "empty city plan" in history is a head-on confrontation between two people, and Zhuge Liang is narrowly victorious with wisdom, but does Sima Yi really not have the slightest idea of seeing through Zhuge Liang's plan? Maybe not. Why was Sima Yi confused by the empty city plan? Expert: He has already seen through it, just in the next big game.
The final answer was only spoken when Sima Yi died, perhaps this is the reason for the success of Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan". On his deathbed, he said to his son Sima Zhao: "In fact, the Sima family has always been reused by the State of Wei, entirely because of the existence of Zhuge Liang in the State of Shu, and only under the mutual checks and balances between the two can it be used, once the State of Shu does not have Zhuge Liang, then the Sima family will become the biggest threat to Cao Wei." Moreover, a suspicious person like Cao Cao also said to his son: "Sima Yi can stay when he can use it, and he does not have to keep it when he loses his value."
In fact, Cao Cao's suspiciousness can be understood, but Sima Yi can try to give up directly when the "empty city plan" attacks, but he is also afraid that once zhuge Liang is really captured, he may lose his protection, and it has to be said that Sima Yi is also thinking about the long term, and it is no wonder that the Sima family eventually replaced Cao Wei and established the Jin Dynasty.
