The Three Kingdoms era is a complicated history, during which you fight for me and deceive yourself, but no matter how the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu fought, the founders of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, were essentially fellow travelers, belonging to the same class, for the same dream, but they all had the same destination.
Liu Bei
Cao Cao was the adopted son of a eunuch, and when he was young, he was a brother of gongzi, and later raised an army against Dong to compete for the world. After Liu Bei was a Han dynasty, he fell into the nobility and was determined to break out of a career. After Sun Quan was a prince, he was appointed in danger and became the lord of Jiangdong. The three people seem to have different origins, but in fact, they are all aristocratic landlord classes, but some are the world's powerful people, some are fallen aristocrats, some are start-ups, and some are carrying forward their ancestral businesses. Speaking of class, then the question is, why do they have the same dream, but they have the same destination?
Sun quan
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were different from the aristocratic landlord class in general, and they were not scholars. The Shi clan refers to the ethnic group of the family that has been officials for generations, and can also be called the door valve, and the Sima family to which Sima Yi belongs is an important line in the Shi clan. The scholars were generally literati and became bureaucrats by virtue of their academics and connections. Cao Liusun was different, they all belonged to the warlord forces of the aristocratic landlords, who relied on conquest to gain power and became bureaucratic. Before the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination system matured, these were the two main ways to become an official.
Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao
Before the successive deaths of Cao Liusun and the three people, the history of the Qin and Han dynasties had been nearly 400 years, and for these four hundred years, they had always been the gate valves as acting officials, and very few people had started from the cold door. After the great chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local warlords dragged the warriors from the altar of power and began the era of warlords seizing power. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are among the representative figures, these three people have less compromise with the warrior clan, it can be said that the three "retrogrades" that appeared for more than 400 years, after these three people, only Zhuge Liang inherited their political ideas, but intensified the internal contradictions of the Shu Han.
Sima Yi
After Zhuge Liang, the warlords' power declined, and the State of Wei was eventually seized power by Sima Yi, a political genius in the scholar class, and the Shi clan represented by the Sima family once again regained its authority. It is precisely because of this that the four people of Cao Liu Sun Zhuge are actually people with the same destination and the same dreams.
