Confucian laymen, do you know the times? Time-conscious people care about Junjie. There are crouching dragons and phoenix chicks here. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and ran to Jingzhou to join his old cousin, while also contacting the hero Hao Jie in the local area. When Sima Hui heard the news that he had contacted Hao Jie, he said this sentence, which meant that those Confucian students were all people with shallow knowledge, how could they understand the current situation of affairs? The only people who can understand today's situation are Wolong and Fengchi. Thus came Liu Bei's Three Gu Maolu, where Wolong and Fengchi were nicknames for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Wolong refers to outstanding talents who live in seclusion or have not yet shown their heads, and Zhuge Liang was exactly like this at that time. He was born in the hanling emperor Guanghe four years (181) to a family of officials, this family is a noble family in Langya County, but Zhuge Liang is more unfortunate. His mother died of illness at the age of three, and his father died of illness at the age of eight, so he had to take his brother to live with his uncle. Later, because his uncle's official position was replaced, he took the two children and his family to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao. Later, zhuge Xuan died, and Zhuge Liang stopped interacting with Liu Biao and lived in seclusion in Longzhong.
From the very beginning, Zhuge Liang understood his talents and often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. But most people don't believe in his talent, just think that this man is a bit arrogant, of course, there is still Bole. Zhuge Liang's friends Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping understood that Sima Hui knew Cui Zhouping again, and in turn learned about Zhuge Liang as a person. At that time, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were actually maverick figures, and the scholars chased after merit, but these two people lived in seclusion and did not easily turn to others. Sima Hui was a man of elegance, a wide range of knowledge, and had always known people, and he naturally understood his talents once he interacted with Zhuge Liang.
The name of Zhuge Liang Wolong is also well deserved, indifferent to fame and fortune, but has amazing talents. Feng chi refers to a young and promising person, Pang Tong was only twenty years old when he met Sima Hui, when Sima Hui was picking mulberries in the tree, and Pang Tong was under the tree. The two of them talked from day to night, and after some words Sima Hui was very surprised by this young man, saying that no one in Nanzhou could compare with him. From here, it can be seen that Sima Hui spoke highly of him, but unfortunately, this person with the talent to assist the emperor died at a young age, so whenever people mention him, they always think of Zhuge Liang first.
As Zhuge Liang's successor, Jiang Wei's nickname was Youlin, which means young Qilin . However, it is also said that this name refers to Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu became famous at a young age, and besides, he and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are people of the same era. Jiang Wei is slightly later, but in the eyes of most people, this name still refers to Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was greatly valued by Zhuge Liang, and after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei soon took sole control of the military, but he eventually lost.
These nicknames are actually more familiar to people, relatively speaking, Sima Yi's nicknames do not seem to be known by many people? It should be said that the Three Kingdoms have been in strife for so many years, and wei shu and Wu have fought to the death, and each country has its own outstanding talents. But in the end, none of the three of them became the final winner, and this once inconspicuous Sima Yi could be said to be the final big winner. From him onwards, the Sima family gradually controlled the court, and eventually overthrew the Cao family's Jiangshan and became their masters. And the nickname of this big winner is Tsukasa Tiger, a tiger lurking in the grave, which is still a very appropriate name.
In any case, Sima Yi was ambitious and cunning. He has one of the most well-known metaphors, that is, the wolf's appearance, what does it mean? The wolf looks back, and the wolf always looks left and right when he walks, and then looks back. What is put on people is to be cautious and suspicious and ill-intentioned. Cao Cao was very uneasy about him at that time, and he also deliberately tried to test him, and after the test, he found that this was indeed the case, and he wanted to kill him.
But Cao Cao had great ambitions and wanted to unify the world, and he could not do without Sima Yi's talents. Coupled with the fact that Sima Yi was also shrewd, he understood that Cao Cao was not at ease with himself, so he played with his son Cao Pi very well. In this way, with Cao Pi, Cao Cao would not do anything. In life, he also behaved very diligently and honestly, and was simply a good official. Therefore, Cao Cao did not do anything to him when he was alive, but repeatedly told his son Sima Yi not to be a subject and to get rid of him in the future.
Unfortunately, Sima Yi intended to befriend Cao Pi at the beginning, which made Cao Pi trust him very much, and on the surface Cao Pi agreed to his father's request, but did not pay attention to it. Finally, Cao Cao's worries came true, the three emperors of the Cao Wei family were all controlled by the Sima family, which actually had something to do with the fact that the Cao family emperors did not live long. Cao Pi, who was with Sima Yi's generation, died of illness at the age of forty, and before his death, he entrusted Sima Yi alone. Emperor Cao Rui of Wei had great ambitions, but unfortunately did not live long, and died of illness at the age of thirty-six. There was no way, the only people he could trust were Sima Yi and Cao Shuang,
The successor Cao Fang was young again, and Cao Shuang wanted to get rid of Sima Yi, but under the foundation of so many years, he could not move Sima Yi for a long time. In the first month of the first year of Jiaping (249), the GaopingLing Rebellion occurred, and Sima Yi lured Cao Shuang's party back to Beijing. However, he was really cunning, and as soon as he returned, he killed Cao Shuang and his people on the charge of treason, and almost slaughtered the Cao family's clan. From then on, Sima Shi completely controlled the court, and in the second year of Xianxi (265), Sima Yan forced the Wei Yuan Emperor Chan to establish the Jin Dynasty.
