The dust of history is not satisfactory one by one, please see Sima Yi

　　Sima Yi, in the Three Kingdoms era when the stars were shining, he did not have Cao Cao's great talent, zhuge Liang's wit and steadiness, and Zhou Yu's dashing style, but through him, the chaotic Chinese mainland finally ushered in a short peace after more than 80 years of war. Some people call Sima Yi the Hidden Emperor of the Three Kingdoms, which is indecent, but in the history books, there are very few records of this figure who has a pivotal position in Chinese history, and it is no wonder that even Bai Yang did not add him to the ranks of politicians in Chinese history. Let us carefully read Sima Yi's life, and we will find out why such an excellent figure would be so "low-key" in history.

　　Mr. Sima was still a very idealistic young man in his youth, he was commented as "smart and clear, just cut off the intel", and became famous, and the powerful minister Cao Cao at that time noticed him and extended an olive branch to him. Sima Yi was 22 years old that year, which is exactly the age of "angry youth" we are now, and he still had a strong resistance to those who destroyed the "motherland" at that time, so he pretended to be ill and shirked. But reality tells us that the impulses of youth tend to make us regret our whole lives. This refusal allowed Sima Yi's life to miss a battle that could end the history of the Three Kingdoms dispute early- the Battle of Chibi. In 208, the 33-year-old Zhou Yu brazenly jumped into the stage of history, because the success of a battle has been praised by future generations for thousands of years. Life is such an impermanence, a person appears at the right time, in the right place, it is possible to stay in the name of eternity. At this time, the 29-year-old Sima Yi finally came to Cao Cao's curtain because he could not bear the loneliness, but all he did was to accompany the prince to study.

　　Politics is often not a job that can be immediately achieved, and the same is true in the chaotic world, after 7 years of political tempering, Sima Yi finally waited for an opportunity to advise his superior, Cao Cao, a suggestion that "may" change history: "Liu Bei deceived Liu Zhang, and the Shu people did not attach themselves to Jiangling, and this opportunity must not be lost." Now, in the middle of the Wei Han Dynasty, Yizhou is shaken, and the army is approaching, and it is bound to disintegrate. Therefore, it is easy to be skilled. The saints cannot violate the time, nor do they lose time. But what he got was: "Man is bitter and has no feet, he has long right, and he wants to regain his desire!" " answer. As a migrant worker, the greatest sorrow is not that your plan fails, but that your proposal is never adopted. Sima Yi was unfortunate, and his life was full of this sadness, only because his leadership was too strong...

　　Factions will emerge in any large group, and always standing in the right ranks is the foundation of politicians. Sima Yi was definitely an excellent politician, after the test of reality, in his unconfused years, he resolutely deviated from the pursuit of his youth, stood by Cao Cao's side, and supported him to seize the world. Thus finally won the basic trust of the leader! For 11 years, it has not been reused in a company, but only to gain the trust of leaders, what a test of will for a person with lofty ambitions and skills! Sima Yi is definitely an ancient Chinese version of Shawshank!

　　It was also this year that Sima Yi sacrificed his strategy and strategically accurately judged the political relations between the three kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu, and finally ruined the life of Guan Yu, a generation of gods of war. But history is also fair, strategic display, ultimately the implementation of tactics, Guan Yu's death, did not achieve the reputation of Sima Yi, a strategist, only the reputation of Lu Xun, Xu Huang and other tacticians. Sima Yi regretted that he appeared at the right time this time, but did not appear in the right place, and this opportunity that had been passed down through the ages was missed again.

　　We always say: The body is the capital of the revolution. This statement is very reasonable, opportunities can come at any time, but if you don't live long enough, maybe the opportunity has come, you are dead. Sima Yi has a healthy physique, which will be the biggest pillar of his future success! In 220, his first leader, Cao Cao, died, and Sima Yi ushered in a second leader, Cao Pi. After many years of studying, the two established a good working relationship, Sima Yi ushered in the peak of his career, his status continued to improve, and then - unfortunately--- the second leader is still a strong leader. Thus, although the status has increased, the increase in rights has been limited. At this time, the advantages of good health were reflected, and 6 years later, the second leader also died, this year Sima Yi was 47 years old, and he ushered in the third leader - 21-year-old Cao Rui, a strong young leader who inherited the excellent blood of the Cao family.

　　When Sima Yi was 48 years old, he finally ushered in the first culmination of his life, he broke the rebellion of Meng Da, and performed perfectly before, during, after the war, strategy, and tactics, which shows that a man of about 50 years old is the most mature stage of the central wisdom of life. Immediately after, he began to face the first strong opponent in his life, Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was much luckier than Sima Yi, and his leaders had always trusted him and were not strong enough, so Zhuge Liang began to use his talents to make meritorious achievements very early. But it was also Zhuge Liang's reputation that eventually made Sima Yi. Whether in the rendition or in the main history, Zhuge Liang was not able to truly defeat Sima Yi. Fighting with a figure who was considered by later generations to be an absolute top ten in Chinese history in TERMs of IQ and emotional intelligence for 7 years, and never really defeated, which shows from the side that the two are on the same level. However, posterity only remembers the phrase "Dead Zhuge scared away the living Sima ". This may epitomize the sympathy of the Chinese people for the weak. Sima Yi sadly appeared in the right place, at the right time, but on the wrong position. Zhuge Liang was portrayed as an excellent private entrepreneur who was self-made and did not fear power, while Sima Yi was just a mediocre leader of a state-owned enterprise who inherited huge state-owned assets. In fact, objectively speaking, the excellence of entrepreneurs does not lie in the way capital is obtained, but in the size of the plate you control.

　　Sima Yi, with his excellent physical qualities, defeated Zhuge Liang, who was 2 years younger than him, which was a protracted war of attrition, and Mr. Sima who had experienced a long political career had the toughest will in the Three Kingdoms period, and Mr. Kong Ming was far inferior to him in this regard, and eventually lost his soul. Zhuge Liang's death did not achieve Sima Yi's historical status, because Zhuge Liang died of illness and belonged to natural death. Although if we consider this matter objectively now, it is not difficult to see that the cause of Zhuge Liang's illness should have a great relationship with Sima Yi, but Sima Yi did not directly cause Zhuge Liang to die after all, so the reputation of killing the first "wise man" of the Three Kingdoms could not fall on his head. Poor Sima Yi was once again teased by history.

　　At the age of 59, when Sima Yi was 59 years old, his life was once again tested, and Gongsun Yuan, who was far away in the east, had to make independence, which made the young leader with the goal of unifying China very angry, so a paper order made Sima Yi, who was nearly the age of Hua Jia, embark on a journey. According to the Latest Regulations on the Retirement Age in 2010, men who have reached the age of 60 and women who have reached the age of 55 and who have participated in the revolutionary work for more than 10 years can enjoy retirement. While our parents were preparing to recuperate, Sima Yi had to embark on a 1,600-kilometer journey to fight a battle that must be won on the road. Although this unknown road is full of thorns, Sima Yi finally won this impossible task with his outstanding overall view, keen on-the-spot adaptability, and rich battlefield experience!

　　Here I would like to explain why it is an impossible task: the greatest factor that constrained the size of a territory in ancient times was not the political system, but the transportation. In the case of horses, for example, a day can travel about 80 miles, about 40 kilometers, then 1600 kilometers need to walk for 40 days without stopping. The walking speed of a person is about half that of a horse, that is, it takes 80 days, but this is in the case of light clothing. Because it is necessary to carry rations, based on 500 grams of rice per person per day, if it is expected to be 3 months or 90 days in the local area, according to the grain found in the local area after arriving at the destination, then each person needs to carry 90 kilograms of rice, which does not include weapons and horses of grain and grass. Sima Yi's expedition to Gongsun Yuan sent a total of about 40,000 troops, which required 1,800 tons of basic grain (according to the later war situation, grain was far more than this), with ancient transportation conditions and means of transportation, these materials needed a huge logistics team to support, and coupled with weapons and horses of grain and grass and transport personnel, the transport of things needed to be at least doubled. Leading such a large team for 3 months is a very difficult thing, after arriving at the destination, what you get is not relaxation, but to desperate, you think about it, will you go? The Red Army's Long March was only 25,000 miles, and after arriving at its destination, it was still recuperating, while Sima Yi reached the enemy base area and fought hard, perhaps his weapons were more advanced than those of the other side, but in the era of cold weapons, how strong could a stick be than a stick? Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The upper soldiers cut down the plot, the second cuts the friendship, the second cuts the soldiers, and the lower attacks the city; Siege is a last resort. In order to finally destroy Gongsun Yuan's independence, Sima Yi had to attack his city, which was a last resort, and he had already suffered a lot in terms of strategic goals, but through correct tactics, he actually corrected the wrong direction with the right method!

　　The final result is just as Sima Yi said before he sent his troops, "in the past hundred days, a hundred days, a hundred days, with sixty days as a rest, one year is enough" In a year's time, he won an impossible victory, but history once again ridiculed us. Because the State of Wei was the most powerful country in the Chinese mainland at that time, and the suppression of Gongsun Yuan's independence was like the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam in that year, the big country should be victorious in suppressing the small country! So this huge victory, which took a year, was only given a "natural" evaluation. Our focus on historical battles has always been ranked in terms of the scale of the campaign, regardless of the distance of the battle. In fact, before 1800, people faced more serious traffic problems than we modern people imagined, but they were ignored by us...

　　Sima Yi sent away his third leader when he was 60 years old, and the life expectancy of Cao's family seemed to have been squandered by Cao Cao, and the average life expectancy of his heirs in the relatively peaceful era was rapidly shortened. In short, Sima Yi welcomed his fourth leader in the year of Huajia, Cao Fang, who was only 8 years old. Sima Yi may have always maintained the mentality of a migrant worker, at least during Cao Cao's lifetime, he was a blue-collar worker who worked hard and complained. But years of political career may have gradually changed his mentality. Employees who don't want to be bosses, not good employees! Based on what Sima Yi's sons and grandsons did after that, it is not difficult to guess that Sima Yi definitely had his own intention to become the boss. The opportunity came when the new leader took office, after all, an 8-year-old child could not manage a huge country, and the last opponent in his life also jumped onto the stage of history - the great general Cao Shuang.

　　Early private enterprises were often family-owned, and regardless of the ability of individuals, as long as there was blood relations, their credibility would be higher and their status would be higher. Sima Yi deeply understands this, in the eyes of an old man who has lived for a long time, perhaps many things are not very important, and being able to raise his children and grandchildren may be his last pursuit, unfortunately, Mr. Sima's last wish in life may not be easily realized. According to Cao Shuang's subsequent behavior, it is not difficult to see that nepotism is a big flaw in the enterprise employment standard. In the following 7 or 8 years, Cao Shuang has always wanted to establish some merits, but none of the projects he operates have achieved good results, so Cao Shuang has some fears, after all, to maintain his position must have performance, if he has no performance, then others can not have performance! Based on the above considerations, Cao Shuang made the most wrong decision in his life - to attack his competitor - Sima Yi. Cao Shuang's decision-making is like the wings of a butterfly, gently instigating a little, and China's history for the next 100 years has entered another direction. As I said before, Sima Yi may have planned to become his own boss, but you may have thought about starting a business, but what you really implement is a minority, and there is always a difference between ideals and reality. However, Cao Shuang's step-by-step pressure on Sima Yi made Sima Yi's final wish to raise the heavens not be realized, and there was no way but to make a counter-acquisition!

　　When Sima Yi was 69 years old, he staged a good play to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and deceived Cao Shuang's carelessness. Ten years ago, he was still on a mighty expedition of thousands of miles, but ten years later he was going to pretend to be senile dementia at home, and Sima Yi's mental adjustment was really admirable. Half a year later, Sima Yi of the ancient rare years defeated Cao Shuang in one fell swoop with a thunderous momentum, in his eyes, this opponent was too tender, casually make a small wrist, the other party obediently grabbed, but even in the face of such an arrogant and ignorant opponent, he still endured for nearly ten years, really worthy of being the first "ninja" of the Three Kingdoms. In the three years that followed, Sima Yi seemed to see that his limit was approaching, and he devoted what little energy he had left to the benefit of future generations, and all opponents who threatened his descendants were given special care before he died. When he passed away, the general trend of returning three points to Jin had been fully unfolded.

　　Later generations mostly evaluated Sima Yi as "jealous of the inside and lenient on the outside, jealous of multiple powers and changes", and even more ridiculed by people as a despicable person who bullied women and children. Even Cao Cao, who had the same behavior of bullying women and children as him, was also rated as having a "great talent and great strategy" because he had opened up a foundation in the chaotic world. This may be the greatest sorrow of Sima Yi's life. Writing this, I am reminded of a sentence: "When a typhoon comes, pigs can fly into the sky!" "The general trend is coming, and many times people can rush to the forefront of the times without taking a step, but this does not explain anything." And when the general trend is gone, no matter how much people try, they may not leave a trace in the torrent of history. Sima Yi's life was spent in hard work, and it is believed that he has not relaxed in his life since the moment he entered Cao Cao's shogunate. We don't know what he is pursuing in his life, maybe people are often like this: the direction of life is not where the footsteps go, but where the road is paved, but no matter where the direction is, the final thing left is just a few pages of books or passers-by A and B after tea and dinner!
