At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world, and many warlords wanted to annex other forces and make themselves bigger and stronger. However, in the end, only the three giants of Wei, Shu and Wu were left to compete for hegemony. This history can be said to be very exciting, and at this time there were also many powerful figures, such as Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu, who were like gods in the Three Kingdoms. Speaking of the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms, it is absolutely necessary to say zhuge liang and Sima Yi, the two of them serving in different camps, can be regarded as pity and hatred.
The three countries are in a chaotic world, and the people are displaced, which can be said to have gone through hundreds of years of conquest. However, in the end, none of them won, and in the end, they were unified by the Jin State. Whether it was Cao Cao, sun quan, or Liu Bei, they fought very fiercely, but in the end they made a wedding dress for others, so that Sima Yi's descendants picked up a big bargain. If these few people had known this, they would have joined forces long ago to kill Sima Yi first.
In fact, in the early years, there were many strategists in Cao Wei, which is also very understandable, after all, Cao Cao was the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. Among his camp were Sima Yi, as well as Guo Jia and others who were more familiar. After Cao Cao's death, Sima Yi put Cao Pi on the throne, so he can also be regarded as Cao Pi's confidant. During the Cao Rui period, Sima Yi repeatedly led troops to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.
Speaking of Zhuge Liang, I believe that there is no need to introduce too much, and now people have deified it, although it is said with some exaggeration, but in reality Zhuge Liang is definitely very powerful. For a long time, Zhuge Liang rarely met an opponent, and he was almost equivalent to the lonely and defeated we see in martial arts novels. However, in the end, Zhuge Liang went out to the Northern Expedition five times and did not succeed, which can be said to be the biggest black spot in Zhuge Liang's life. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is also Sima Yi's evaluation of Zhuge Liang, and he sees Zhuge Liang's weaknesses very thoroughly, so Zhuge Liang did not succeed.
He first affirmed that Zhuge Liang was a rare talent, but the method he did was not flexible in Sima Yi's view, and his five Northern Expeditions used a routine, so Sima Yi dealt with it with one move (should not fight). But then again, in fact, this is also very normal, no matter how strong people have shortcomings, no one is perfect! I believe that this does not affect everyone's worship of Zhuge Liang.
