Introduction: In ancient times, because of the closed information and the long-term monopoly of the powerful, many talented people did not have the opportunity to come forward, nor did they have the opportunity to enter a platform where they could display their talents, so Bole was very important for a person. The Three Kingdoms was an era of brilliant stars, but also a platform for top warriors and strategists to fight, and Sima Hui, who was known as Mr. Shuijing at that time, recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and then recommended Sima Yi to Cao Cao.
Mr. Sima Hui of Shuijing is a contemporary celebrity and a great Confucian, and many famous children of the land of Shenzhou are studying here, but Sima Hui does not pay attention to his origin, but pays more attention to talent. And because erudition can be taught according to aptitude, in that era he handed over students such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Cui Zhouping, and often mentioned his distant relative Sima Yi. Later, it turned out that these people were all the trendsetters of that era, and their achievements were very high, and some of them even left their names in qingshi, which was also worthy of Sima Hui's cultivation.
At that time, Liu Bei was stationed in Xuchang, Runan, in order to contain Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao's general Man Yu saw through Liu Bei's plan, and the platoon easily defeated Liu Bei, and finally even Runan was taken away, and the defeated Liu Bei could only take his subordinates to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao. Although Liu Biao was wary of Liu Bei, because the two had a common enemy of Cao Cao, he placed Liu Bei in XinyeCheng, north of Jingzhou, and let Liu Bei be the defense line of Jingzhou. After Liu Bei settled down in Xinye, he quickly visited the celebrities and the Gate Valve Clan in Jingzhou, hoping to get some help from them.
In fact, the Gate Valve Clan in Jingzhou was more realistic than Liu Bei, and they knew that Liu Bei was now in a period of depression and it was difficult to turn over, ignoring him one by one. When Liu Bei visited Mr. Shuijing's home, Mr. Shuijing talked to him for a long time, confirming that Liu Bei still had fighting spirit and ideals and beliefs, and then recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei. He also told Liu Bei that Zhuge Liang had the talent of the heavens and the earth, and that with him he could stabilize the world. Liu Bei believed Sima Hui's words very much, and when he found out about Zhuge Liang's residence, he took Guan Yu Zhang Fei to visit three times before and after, and finally impressed Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang officially joined Liu Bei's group and became his military division.
In Sima Hui's view, Zhuge Liang needed a lord who completely trusted him, and whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Quan in the world, they all had their own think tanks, and Zhuge Liang would not receive much attention from them, which meant that he could not play his full ability. At this time, Liu Bei was in the most depressed period, and he would never be too picky about talents, and even extremely eager. Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei's group, and Liu Bei would naturally entrust him with heavy responsibilities, so that the two sides could form a complementary and happy.
He did not recommend Sima Yi to Liu Bei precisely because of Liu Bei's downfall, you must know that Sima Yi was born in a famous and prestigious family in Hedong, he and Liu Bei such grassroots people were not originally a person of the world, Liu Bei please do not move him, Sima Yi will not look up to Liu Bei. At this time, Hedong was already under cao Cao's control, and although Cao Cao himself was fierce, he knew the importance of talent, and there were many territories under his command, and he needed more talents like Sima Yi to assist him, so as to achieve the effect of doubling the results with half the effort.
And Sima Hui was very optimistic about Cao Cao, not only because Cao Cao was also born into a famous family, but Cao Cao's growth history was very eye-catching, originally located in a place of four wars, but he was able to play with the surrounding enemies between the palms of his hands, and when they killed each other, they broke one by one, becoming the strongest prince in the whole world in one fell swoop. This wisdom, this patience, this scheming can be called the first person at that time. As his cousin, Sima Yi recommended him to Cao Cao more appropriately, and even later when Sima Yi grew up, he could take care of his family, which was also an important guarantee for his life in a chaotic world.
