In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the chaotic world rises together, the strategists control the direction of the world, and after the death of Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and other famous talents, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty came to the era of the Three Kingdoms. The world had already changed according to zhuge liang's conception of "longzhong confrontation" and three divisions of the world before he came out of the mountains, and Zhuge Liang became the first strategist in the following decades, both militarily and in governance.
Compared with Cao Wei, who had strong strength and the best entrepreneurial foundation, or the sons of Jiangdong who had strong economic strength and fierce fighting, although Shu Han had reached the peak of his reputation when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was impossible to cover up its problems of insufficient food, population withering, and lack of materials. Zhuge Liang, even if he was wise and close to the demon, and had the ability to reach heaven, could only slow down the pace of Shu Han's demise, and in order to prevent chronic suicide, he could only recuperate for eight years after Liu Bei's death, and then choose to carry out the Northern Expedition against Cao Wei.
In fact, it is not only the Shu Han dynasty that there is no talent, the three major forces have more or less such problems, and even after the second generation of the lord succeeds to the throne, it is not as good as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, sun Quan, the first generation of self-made lords. In the middle and late period of the world, although it is almost the world where Zhuge Liang's wisdom is unmatched, it is said that the wise man must have a mistake, and the fool must have a gain, and when he was 47 years old, Cao Wei appeared two people, who could have an enemy with him, and these two people were Sima Yi and Hao Zhao.
Sima Yi
Sima Yi everyone knew that he was careful in doing things for people, and compared with Zhuge Liang, after the death of Cao Zhen, the military commander of Cao Wei, he led the Wei army against Zhuge Liang, who led the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han army. What Zhuge Liang hoped most was that Cao Wei would be able to impulsively respond to the battle, leaving Shu Han with the opportunity to turn the tables. It was just that Sima Yi had already seen through his ideas, and although he had more Wei troops in his hands, he resolutely garrisoned the camp and did not go out of the city to meet the battle. In order to stimulate him, Zhuge Liang sent people to scold the battle every day, and even sent him a skirt, but he just didn't come out. Sima Yi's forbearance deserved to be the first in the world, and he only sent troops after he had killed Zhuge Liang.
Hao Zhao
Hao Zhao, who was recommended by Cao Zhen, once attacked Eastern Wu with Zhang Liao. Historical records record that he "if Mo Zhai's system loses, Hao Zhaozhi rejects Ge Liang, or lingers and carries it, or shoots fire and heavy furnaces, it can be said that it is good to defend the city." Unlike other martial artists, Hao Zhao was good at the production of Mo family siege equipment. When he fought against Zhuge Liang, he used more than a thousand troops to defend the city for more than twenty days, and there were ignited arrows to attack the Shu army, which is also the origin of the name "rocket" in Chinese history. These two people are not as famous as Zhuge Liang in history, especially Hao Zhao, but it does not mean that their abilities are very weak.
