The years from 220 to 280 AD were the more chaotic years of the Three Kingdoms struggle in history. During the past 60 years, the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu have been fighting endlessly for many years, and many strange people and strangers have emerged. However, throughout the Three Kingdoms years, three prodigies who have left their names in history have appeared. Two of them ended up miserable, and the last one soared, and even more equal to Cao Cao, so what is going on?
The Three Kingdoms undertook the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, and during this chaotic era, Wei Shu Wu was in a three-legged position. Whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they tried to recruit as many talents as possible. Cao Cao "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes", moved the capital to Xuchang, and recruited many capable people and strangers in the name of Emperor Xian of Han. After Liu Beigui became the King of Zhongshan Jing, with the identity of Liu Huang's uncle, he also gained a firm foothold in the chaotic world. During the Three Kingdoms period, the names of strategists such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xu You, and Zhou Yu were really thunderous, but there were three prodigies who could not be underestimated.
One of them was called Zhou Buxian, who was a playmate with Cao Cao's son Cao Chong. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Zhou Bu doubted four poems, and it was rumored in wild history that Cao Cao could not conquer Liucheng when he conquered Liucheng. At this time, the prodigy Zhou buji offered 10 strategies to help Cao Cao attack the city. At that time, Zhou Bu was no more than 14 years old at most, and Cao Wei's colleagues compared him to Li Zuoche, the Marquis of Guangwu in the Western Han Dynasty. The second prodigy was Cao Cao's son Cao Chong, and everyone had learned the text "Cao Chong Is an Elephant". According to historical records, Cao Chong suddenly fell ill when he was 13 years old, and he cried out for his life, and even Cao Cao shouted "Regret that he should not have killed Na Huatuo in the first place." When Cao Pi and other sons went to comfort him, Cao Cao even retorted that "Chong Er's death has become your luck."
The third prodigy is Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, Cao Mengde once witnessed Sun Quan's divine courage, and immediately said that "having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", which is enough to see Sun Quan and bear the name of prodigy. However, these three prodigies had different fates, Cao Chong and Zhou Buxi died one after another, and after Cao Chong became seriously ill, Cao Cao was very worried about Zhou Buxi. If you don't restrict it, how can your children and grandchildren be able to defeat this talent after a hundred years? Therefore, Cao Cao simply let Zhou Bu doubt, accompanied his son Cao Chong, and returned to the west together. After Sun Quan took over the foundation laid by his brother Sun Ce, he occupied Jiangdong and remained patient, and finally sat on an equal footing with Cao Cao.
Sun Quan was only 17 years old when he came to power, and there were many door valves of the Jiangdong Shi clan. After Sun Ce was killed, everyone wanted to watch this hairy boy laugh when he came to power. Sun Quan divided three by five, quickly collected a group of henchmen, stabilized the situation in time, and assured and boldly let Zhou Yu grasp the military power. Sun Quan, who is only 17 years old, knows people and is good at duty, and Zhou Yu is not a narrow person in the novel. In addition, Eastern Wu has natural insurance, its products are rich, and most of the soldiers in Jiangdong have money and land. Therefore, Sun Quan managed Jiangdong for many years, accumulating strength, and after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan temporarily allied with Liu Bei.
When Lü Meng ascended to the throne, Sun Quan and Cao Weixuan and Wei Snake, after taking back Jingzhou, their strength and popularity were unparalleled. Therefore, Sun Quan, a prodigy in the Three Kingdoms period, his ending cannot be described as unhappy. However, Sun Quan, who was called Emperor Wu by later generations, was deadlocked and capricious on the issue of heirs, resulting in instability in the court. However, Sun Quan helped Jiangdong stabilize for more than fifty years from his young age to his death. His fate was a hundred times higher than that of Cao Chong and Zhou Buxi, and he could be said to be a hundred times higher than a thousand times, and even sat on an equal footing with Cao Cao.
For Sun Quan, who lost his father and brother at an early age, he not only accepted this great test, but also used his talent to put it on the right path and help Eastern Wu open up territory.
