Historically, there have been two intelligent supergroups.
One is Sima Yi and the other is Zhuge Liang, and posterity has constantly commented on the two able people.
Who among them is more powerful, today the girl made a big move to analyze the wisdom content of the two capable people.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao did not trust Sima Yi very much, and he also knew that Sima Yi was a capable person, but he was cautious about Sima Yi, which Sima Yi could not know.
Second, Liu Bei was to Zhuge Liang, although Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang was a very talented person, but Liu Bei also understood Zhuge Liang's mind, and he could control Zhuge Liang's mind at any time and use his weaknesses to stabilize his own inheritance.
As the old saying goes, a companion is like a companion tiger, from time to time may be sacrificed, when you can still live well, it means that you still have use value, when you do not use value, I am afraid that time is running out, this kind of thing often exists in history.
If you compare Liu Bei and Cao Cao with the two monarchs.
Zhuge Liang was safer than Sima Yi at Liu Bei's side, and Sima Yi not only fought with Zhuge Liang's princes from all over the world, but also with Cao Cao, who was attacked on all sides, and at the beginning "Cao Cao did not reuse Sima Yi, but constantly tortured him."
Sima Yi was effective, all endured, this sentence is not false, until Cao Cao's major subordinates died, the only person who can take on great responsibilities, only Sima Yi, then Sima Yi can be considered powerful, in order to exert his skills and wisdom.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were sworn enemies, and in the history books and TV series, we also saw that Zhuge Liang used the empty city plan to scare Sima Yi and did not dare to attack.
Therefore, later generations commented that Sima Yi was not as smart as Zhuge Liang, whether it was a plan or a surface, it was clear that Sima Yi was a little afraid of Zhuge Liang, in fact, all this was an illusion, and the fact was that Zhuge Liang saved Sima Yi.
At that time, Liu Bei raised the strength of the country to fight against the State of Wu, named two brothers to avenge Xue Hate, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei, who were originally teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and went to avenge with a tragic and violent spirit.
Morale was high, and the other side should be defeated and retreated, but no one expected that Liu Bei had no clue in fighting, and after many years of war, he would not lead the troops to lead, and later Liu Bei met Lu Xun, the governor sent by the State of Wu.
Lu Xun's ability was not as good as the previous two governors, just a scholar, a small fresh meat, but in fact, he beat Liu Bei's fart and urine stream, Liu Bei was defeated one after another, and lu Xun fled to the White Emperor City, and finally Liu Bei also died there.
In this war, the power of the Shu state was greatly reduced, and Zhuge Liang did not agree at the beginning, but Liu Bei nian brotherly feelings, did not listen to persuasion, had to fight, in fact, Liu Bei also wanted to prove to Zhuge Liang, he could also lead troops to fight, and he was still a little dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang could only give up.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang tried every means to restore the power of the Shu state, and then Zhuge Liang began the Northern Expedition and decided to attack the State of Wei, and the two old guys who were full of tricks met again, and the double-digit number of troops did not get benefits.
The master is difficult to distinguish between the upper and lower, so there is still a wonderful means, that is, the empty city plan, when Zhuge Liang's street kiosks were lost, something bad happened, and Zhuge Liang could only send troops to transport grain, at this time, Sima Yi came to the door.
Sima Yi was not small, leading 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight the Shu camp, when Zhuge Liang's military camp was stationed at the mouth of the mountain tiger, and Zhuge Liang's army was sent to transport grain, there were not many people around, at this time Sima Yi attacked strongly, no one could escape, if it was an ordinary person, he might be defeated here.
But Zhuge Liang was not nervous, he sent his men to open the city gate, told the two to go outside the city to clean, the soldiers in the city were also withdrawn, and he was alone in the city to quietly play the piano.
Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that Sima Yi was suspicious, and the more he did this, the more he felt that there was a problem and an ambush.
However, not daring to act rashly, Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi with a smile on his face and hinted to Sima Yi, you come! I'll just wait for you, hurry up and call in.
But Sima Yi did not dare and chose to retreat...
Therefore, the empty city plan became Zhuge Liang's victory over Sima Yi without troops, and posterity applauded Zhuge Liang's plan, saying that Zhuge Liang was superior to Sima Yi, but in history, who knows Sima Yi's good intentions, and the empty city plan is Sima Yi's shame.
But in Sima Yi's heart, he did not think so, he also thanked Zhuge Liang, because Zhuge Liang saved him, as I said above, the companion is like a companion tiger, at that time Cao Shi regarded Sima Yi as a nail in his eye, Cao Shi also understood that only Sima Yi could resist Zhuge Liang, so Sima Yi could live so long, and Zhuge Liang was his life-saving straw.
In other words, if Sima Yi had "clearly known that this was an empty city plan, he would have also retreated, because he knew very well that as soon as he sent troops, Zhuge Liang would die here and lose an opponent like Zhuge Liang, for him, there was only harm, no benefit, and the Cao clan was using him to destroy Zhuge Liang, so he could not let Zhuge Liang die early, unless he already controlled the Cao forces, otherwise Zhuge Liang would die, and the next death would be him."
But in the end, Zhuge Liang was also killed by Sima Yi alive, Zhuge Liang was too real, vomiting blood in a heavy rain, obviously Sima Yi was the kind of person who took it up and put down, the mentality was better than Zhuge Liang, looking at wars and things, all with a hundred eyes, integrating the laws of nature, Zhuge Liang's ability is also strong, but he overestimates himself, values dignity and face, this is the same as Wu Guo Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is also a hero with wisdom, Zhuge Liang is angry with Zhou Yu, the same Sima Yi is also angry with Zhuge Liang, which is too much to value his own consequences.
From a historical point of view, they are all wise people, but their successes and failures are all the curses of their own personality, and all those who can achieve great things should have the character of Sima Yi, keep the green mountains, and are not afraid of running out of firewood.
