The Three Kingdoms period was a chaotic era in history, and this chaotic world was well known to future generations. The story of wei shu and wu's struggle for supremacy in the three kingdoms provides material for the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As a chaotic era in history, this period led to the displacement of people and the inability of people to live and work in peace and contentment. In the end, after nearly a hundred years of conquest, the Jin Dynasty unified the three kingdoms.
The reason why the Jin Dynasty was able to unify the three kingdoms had a lot to do with the efforts of the Sima family. Starting from Sima Yi, Sima Yi, who had just assisted Cao Pi, certainly did not have the heart of disobedience, but after Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, Sima Yi already had the heart of disobedience, and at this time Sima Yi began to plot for his descendants.
Sima Yi was known as a strategist of the State of Wei, and he and Zhuge Liang had been fighting. At that time, Zhuge Liang was six out of Qishan, but none of them succeeded. Until Zhuge Liang died of illness, Zhuge Liang did not defeat Sima Yi. Militarily, Zhuge Liang had never defeated Sima Yi at all.
After his death, Zhuge Liang, from Sima Yi's point of view, became the ultimate winner. At this time, no one was Sima Yi's opponent. Zhuge Liang appointed a number of people before his death, hoping to make the Shu kingdom strong again through them. However, contrary to his wishes, Zhuge Liang's plan did not succeed.
Eventually, shu han became the first to be destroyed. Nowadays, it seems that Sima Yi is more powerful than Zhuge Liang in all aspects, but unfortunately, the descendants of the Sima family have usurped the throne, which has never allowed them to get rid of the reputation of traitors and thieves. Zhuge Liang is also very powerful, but the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms deified him.
Zhuge Liang's strong points in governing the internal affairs of Shu were not his strong points in military terms. Before Zhuge Liang died, he passed his position to Jiang Wei, but unfortunately Jiang Wei did not succeed, and in the end, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai. Deng Ai here is the person left behind before Sima Yi died.
Sima Yi was not completely defenseless against Zhuge s descendants, and in 243 AD, Sima Yi promoted Deng Ai out of the ordinary. At that time, Deng Ai was only a small official, and Sima Yi's promotion of him was very unusual, but Sima Yi predicted that he would be a wise general. Later, Deng Ai became one of the 64 generals in history.
I have to say that Sima Yi's look at Deng Ai is very accurate. The world was unpredictable, Zhuge Liang's successor Jiang Wei and other able people were ultimately enemies of the young lord's faint incompetence, and finally Sima Yi's successor Deng Ai defeated the Shu state. After entering the Shu Han Dynasty, Deng Ai began a large number of brutal killings. Although they were prisoners, Deng Ai did not treat them well.
Deng Ai single-handedly cut down the grass and roots of many famous generals in China, including Zhuge Kongming. At that time, Deng Ai killed the descendants of the famous Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, who no longer had the fierce and majestic style of their ancestors and fathers, but inherited the iron bones of their ancestors. The people who died did not surrender to Dun Ai either.
It was precisely because of Deng Ai's boldness and wisdom that the dream of the Shu Han Kuang Fu Han Room was completely shattered. It is not difficult to see that Deng Ai was one of the most dazzling generals at the end of the Three Kingdoms.
