As we all know, in ancient times, the influence of a talent on a dynasty was significant, and if the Qin state did not have a martingale, the Qin state could not get rid of poverty and become strong. If Liu Bang did not have Han Xin, he might not be able to defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty. An excellent talent, to a certain extent, can affect the development of a country.
As the saying goes, heroes are born in a chaotic world, and in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the masses rose up together, and in such a chaotic world, it can really be described as a hero. After a long period of conquest at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu eventually became the most powerful. Among the three countries, each side has top talents, which determines the development of each country to a certain extent.
In the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the early death of talents is undoubtedly the most regrettable, for example, Guo Jia on Cao Cao's side, Pang Tong on Liu Bei's side, and Zhou Yu on Sun Quan's side. These three people are all top talents for the lords of various countries, and they need to be used on the road of expanding the territory and unifying the world in the future.
However, people's death may be predestined, even if Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong are brilliant, they cannot escape the fate of untimely death in the end. The death of the three people also has a certain impact on various countries, as far as these three people are concerned, whose death has the greatest impact on the country?
Wei Lost Guo Jia
Guo Jia was known as a "ghost talent" and was one of the five great strategists under Cao Cao. Guo Jiacai was quick-witted and deeply liked by Cao Cao, and served as a military master under Cao Cao's account.
Historically, Guo Jia's credit to Cao Cao was roughly to help Cao Cao pacify the north and lay the foundation for Cao Cao's hegemony. Specifically, Guo Jia had a keen ability to judge, he guessed the end of Sun Ce's death, and before the Battle of Guandu, he told Cao Cao the "Theory of Ten Victories and Ten Defeats".
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, his son Yuan Shang and others fled to Wuhuan, and Cao Cao originally wanted to abandon the conquest of Wuhuan because the march was too far, but Guo Jia tried to persuade Cao Cao to march on Wuhuan, and finally at Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao led the cavalry to embark on an expedition to Wuhuan.
From a historical point of view, Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan took great risks, and Cao Cao himself almost could not return. In addition, the state's other meritorious history books under Cao Cao's account are not clearly recorded.
Cao Cao did not lack strategists around him, and in terms of seniority and prestige, among Cao Cao's five great strategists, Xun Yu was the first, and Jia Xu and Xun You's abilities were also stronger than Guo Jia.'s. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Shou places Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, and others in a biography, indicating that Guo Jia's abilities are similar to those of Liu Ye and others.
From this point of view, Cao Cao's loss of a Guo Jia was not very big for Cao Cao or Wei Guo, far from the point of breaking his bones. Although Cao Cao once suffered for Guo Jia's death, it was because Cao Cao himself was a crying monarch, and Cao Cao's crying was recorded many times in the history books alone.
Shu lost Pang Tong
In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the famous scholar Sima Wei recommended two talents to Liu Bei, namely "Wolong and Fengchi", and said that one of them could be safe in the world. Wolong and Fengyan refer to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, respectively, and were eventually used by Liu Bei.
To say that Sima Wei said that "those who have one of the Wolong phoenixes can be safe in the world" is obviously an exaggeration. But whether it is Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, they are indeed people with great talents, and they are an important talent for Liu Bei.
It is worth mentioning that whether it is Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, they are all famous scholars in Jingzhou, and the reputation of Pang Tong in the early years was much higher than that of Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were also related. In terms of talent and learning, Zhuge Liang's is more comprehensive, and Pang Tong is somewhat partial, and he may not be so good at governing the government, but in terms of strategy, Pang Tong is slightly better.
Pang Tong, who served under Liu Bei's account, made his main achievements in capturing Xichuan for Liu Bei and laying the foundation for Liu Bei's hegemony. Pang Tong plotted a large number of strategies for Liu Bei on the way to conquer Xichuan, and although Liu Beiwu's generals at that time had tens of thousands of enemies such as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, liu Bei's advisers like Pang Tong were extremely scarce.
The impact of Pang Tong's death on Liu Bei was significant, because at that time, there were not many staff-type talents like Pang Tong around Liu Bei, and it was not until the arrival of Fa Zheng that Liu Bei filled this gap. From the moment Liu Bei cried bitterly for Pang Tong, it was clear that Pang Tong's position in Liu Bei's mind was realized.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records this:
"Entered and besieged Luo County, commanded the crowd to attack the city, was hit by a stream of arrows, and died, and the time Chinese New Year's Eve six." The Lord lamented, and his words drooled. ”
Liu Bei rarely cried for people in his life, he cried pang tong, he also cried fazheng, he cried for his righteous son Liu Feng, and he also cried emotionally when he was separated from Tian Yu in the early days.
This shows that the people who can make Liu Bei cry are either close relatives or people who are very important to him, and Pang Tong, as the chief strategist around Liu Bei at that time, was of extraordinary significance to Liu Bei.
Wu lost Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obviously underestimated or blackened, and the historical Zhou Yu lupine scarf, between talking and laughing, Cao Jun's tree is ashes. As one of the commanders of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu commanded a major battle that laid the pattern of three divisions of the world, which was enough to make him famous in history.
Zhou Yu's influence on Eastern Wu was not just a Battle of Chibi, after which Zhou Yu proposed a plan to divide the world with Cao Cao, persuading Sun Quan to lead his own army to take Xichuan, Hanzhong and other places to compete with Cao Cao for the world. After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu saw that Liu Bei would become a major problem in the future, and proposed to Sun Quan that Liu Bei be placed under house arrest and that Liu Bei's general Guan Yu And Zhang Fei and others be surrendered.
Sun Quan believed that Zhou Yu's move was too risky, and Zhang Fei Guanyu and others were not tied hands, so Sun Quan had more concerns at that time and did not act on Liu Bei. However, Zhou Yu proposed to lead the plan of taking Sichuan Shu and Han Zhong, Sun Quan agreed, if everything went in the direction of Zhou Yu, then there would be no Liu Bei in history.
However, zhou Yu's sudden death caught Eastern Wu a little off guard, because Zhou Yu's death left Eastern Wu without a handsome man who fought alone to lead the army. After Sun Quan lost Zhou Yu, he had no confidence in taking Xichuan, Hanzhong, and Cao Cao, and no one in Eastern Wu could replace Zhou Yu.
Even when Lu Su took office, he knew that his ability to command the army was far inferior to that of Zhou Gongjin, and instead of proposing to Sun Quan the matter of taking Xichuan, he chose a conservative strategy of uniting with Liu Bei to jointly resist Cao Cao. Zhou Yu's death caused Eastern Wu to lose confidence in its external expansion, which not only had a significant impact on Sun Quan, but even changed the fate of Eastern Wu.
Guo Jia died at the age of 38, Zhou Yu died at the age of 36, and Pang Tong also died at the age of 36, all three of whom were typical of untimely deaths. If we want to talk about whose death has a greater impact on the country, according to the situation of each country and the influence of that person in the country, we can come up with the following view:
Although Guo Jia expected things to be like gods, there were many talents similar to Guo Jia around Cao Cao, and when Guo Jia was alive, his status was far inferior to that of Xun Yu, the chief strategist beside Cao Cao, so guo Jia's death, although the damage to Cao Cao and Cao Wei was there, did not reach the point of breaking bones.
Before Liu Bei took Hanzhong, there were far fewer capable people around him than Cao Cao, and Pang Tong was the only senior combat staff officer around Liu Bei. Pang Tong's death had a great impact on Liu Bei, causing Liu Bei's original few talents to lose a top talent, and it was also a big loss to the development of Shu Han.
The most regrettable thing should belong to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu has an enterprising heart, if Zhou Yu did not die young, he would not let Eastern Wu shrink in the Jiangnan region, waiting for its demise. As we all know, the successive Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lü Meng, Lu Xun, etc. of Eastern Wu, only Zhou Yu had the ambition to open up the country and unify the world, and the rest of them were mainly defensive and self-protective. Therefore, zhou Yu's death changed the direction of Eastern Wu's development for decades at this time to a certain extent, and changed the final fate of Eastern Wu.
With the five-thousand-year history of China, there are indeed many things worth savoring and studying. The so-called reading of history can be wise, not only to make us take fewer detours, but also to understand the knowledge of history is particularly important for a person's growth.
In order to better cultivate children's interest in historical knowledge, a set of "Half-Hour Comics in Chinese History" invested by Zhang Quanling, a former CCTV sister, and written by Chen Lei, a webcomic master "two-jerk", has been published so far, and has been selling more than 30 million copies.

In Chen Lei's pen, the Spring and Autumn Warring States are like a class, the Great Qin dynasty is addicted to death, the Three Kingdoms are the three major battles, the Wei and Jin dynasties are chaotic, the Southern and Northern Dynasties are rich in losers, and the Tang Dynasty is the most dazzling national style. Every piece of history, every change of dynasty, is firmly remembered in the light and humorous passages.
For example, the paragraph in the book that introduces Xiao He, before it was only known that "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He", but it is not what Xiao He is doing, this can be clear: Who is Xiao He? He is Liu Bang's "logistics minister" and "god-level otaku", no matter how Liu Bang fights over and over on the front line, no matter how badly he is beaten, there will always be substitutes and grain and grass delivered in time, and the next day the order will arrive, and the brothers on the road call him "Xiao Shunfeng".
2. Provide schools and parents with the idea of "exploring new education models"
Some principals commented: Chen Lei has cleared the historical context of the past three thousand years just by hand painting and paragraphs. He deciphers each piece of history into a passage with the joy of the times, making you laugh every three seconds. And while you laugh out of your abs, you already know history unconsciously. "Half An Hour Comic" rescued children from mobile phone games, and even parents and adults loved to watch it, the content was witty and humorous, and it was highly readable.
