First, the meaning of the opponent
So-called, where there is a spear, there is a shield. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was very bullish, beating Lü Bu, abusing Yuan Shu, Ping Wuhuan, and attacking Yuan Shao... Bing Feng's direction was like a sweep, but Liu Bei became his nightmare.
When the brothers were well, Cao Cao grinned and said, "The heroes of the world are only the king and the ear." When the riot broke out, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Weaver Xi Xiao'er." Why did Cao Cao do this? In the face of Sun Quan, he also talked about "having children should be like Sun Zhongmou". There was only one reason: Cao Cao had exhausted almost all means and could not succeed Liu Bei.
This situation is also like the later Zhuge Liang, who sent women clothes to Sima Yi, all of which were manifestations of the mentality of "if you can't eat grapes, you will say that grapes are sour".
Therefore, Cao Cao hated Liu Bei for a lifetime. However, although I am very annoyed and painful to the words of both sides, I and other future generations can enjoy it and learn a lot from them. Of course, the premise of all this is that it is best to combine the "history of the Three Kingdoms", because just watching the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be "emotionally induced".
For example, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi both felt that Zhuge Liang was a god, but all this was nothing more than the result of "curving the pen and making flowers".
In the empty city plan, Zhuge Liang seemed to be very bullish, but in fact, it was caused by a big defeat.
Burning the upper valley, Zhuge Liang is more cattle, but in fact, he is making excuses for Zhuge Liang - God means that Sima Yi does not die, and it has nothing to do with you Zhuge Liang. Deducing in reverse, can it still prove that the Sima family and the unification of the three kingdoms are also inevitable?
There is also the aforementioned "sending women's clothes", which is obviously a means of not being able to come to the table, which can only prove that Zhuge Liang at that time had no way to do anything. Therefore, it is no wonder that many people believe that Zhuge Liang was blown out of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But those who have seen the history of the Three Kingdoms are obviously different. The author has contacted several people, and when I mention Zhuge Liang, I have said that Zhuge Liang in the main history is even more terrifying and powerful than in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". So why does the author start by pulling these topics that seem to be off topic?
One aim, the phenomenon of contradictions, opposites and coexistence mentioned above, seems to appear only in the first half of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As soon as Zhuge Liang died, especially after Sima Zhao came to power, he became crushing everything. In other words, Sima Zhao's opponents were too weak, or there were no opponents.
This is actually why the vast majority of people are as numerous as the first half of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what Taoyuan Sanjieyi, Cao Cao stabbed Dong Zhuo, a thousand miles to walk a single ride, Dangyang Bridge, Changshanpo, Three Gu Maolu, burning Chibi, Seven Star Lanterns to continue life...
When it comes to the second half of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially after Zhuge Liang's star fell to the original world, we only know the real reason for the Northern Expedition of Jiang Wei, who "tastes the same chewing wax".
So in the main history, did Sima Zhao really not make him hate the opponent for a lifetime? Of course! But it's not Cao Xian.
Second, why not Cao Xian?
When Sima Zhao is mentioned, people will think of Cao Xian! Who let there be a "Sima Zhaojun" incident? The eldest brother of the emperor who was killed was Cao Xian - let's briefly review it first.
Zhong Hui thought that Cao Xi was most like Cao Cao. Although this is ostensibly a praise for Cao Cao, in fact it is suspected of asking the Sima brothers for credit. After all, Cao Cao was too fierce, and the ghost was willing to produce another Cao A-style figure. This is also the reason why Sima Zhao has always guarded against Cao Xian.
Moreover, Cao Xian did not want to risk running to Sima Zhao's mansion to ask for a board at first, but wanted to do something in Lingyuntai.
According to the "Spring and Autumn of the Wei Dynasty", "HuiYu, there is a Si Song but day, (Cao Xi) saw Wang Jing and other Huang Su edict Yu Huai Yue: Is it tolerable, but it is not tolerable! Today Bento decided to do so. Empress Dowager Bai, she drew her sword and ascended to the throne, and the guards in the Shuai Hall struck the war drum and Izumo Dragon Gate.
In other words, a sudden heavy rain saved Sima Zhao. However, the author believes that there is also a possibility that because Cao Xian is surrounded by Sima Zhao's eyeliner, he leaked the secret. So Sima Zhao did not come on the grounds that it was raining! Cao Huan realized that the problem was serious, so he decided to go to Sima Zhao's house to kill him and informed Empress Guo.
But in any case, from this record, the author seems to see the prototype event of the "Heavy Rain in the Upper Valley" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that made Zhuge Liang despair.
In this way, Cao Fu was eventually killed by Jia Chong and Cheng Ji (Jia Chong fooled Cheng Ji). But Sima Zhao was responsible for this incident. Jia Chong and Cheng Ji are his confidants, and naturally he cannot escape responsibility!
Although the assassination of Sima Zhao was once embarrassed and delayed the demise of Cao Wei, it also cleared the last obstacle for the Sima family to finally seize power. So-called, if you don't obey, you will be killed, and even the emperor's eldest brother will not be spared!
So, does Sima Zhao hate Cao Xian? Less. At most, it can only be said that Cao Xian adopted a way of resistance that made Sima Zhao very uncomfortable at an inappropriate time and on an inappropriate occasion, and resisted.
Later, in order to eliminate the influence of the Emperor, Sima Zhao, in spite of the opposition of almost everyone, ordered Zhong Hui and Deng Aifa Shu to be killed, and destroyed shu Han in one fell swoop, turning the originally passive situation into a favorable situation. Therefore, to digress, Sima Zhao must thank Liu Chan, a mascot!
From the above analysis, Sima Zhao was the ultimate beneficiary of the "Assassination of the Emperor". And even if Cao Xian was like Cao Cao again, he could not jump out of the palm of his hand, how could this be considered an opponent and make Sima Zhao hate for a lifetime? Therefore, Cao Xian was excluded!
So who was the opponent who made Sima Zhao hate for a lifetime? It is not a bystander, it is Jiang Wei who is vigorously belittled by the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other canonical histories!
Third, Jiang Wei made Sima Zhao hate for a lifetime
Just like when Cao Rui hated Zhuge Liang the most, he regarded Zhuge Liang as an opponent. As for Sima Zhao's words, Jiang Wei went north at every turn, which made him very uncomfortable.
Sima Zhao angrily scolded Jiang Wei many times for this. For example, in the first year of Ganlu, when Sima Zhao rewarded Deng Ai, he once mentioned Jiang Wei's criticism: the anti-thief Jiang Wei has been cunning for many years, the people are in turmoil, and the western land is restless.
That is to say, this hated Jiang Wei beat me up year after year, causing me border people to be upset, so that even I didn't want to sleep comfortably.
But anyway, you Sima Zhao approved of you, how should Jiang Wei go north, or how to go north. So Sima Zhao thought of a poisonous plot: Sima Zhao was suffering from Jiang Weishu as Kou, and Guan Qilu asked for the assassin to enter Shu.
The meaning is very simple, Sima Zhao actually wants to assassinate Jiang Wei with assassins. Fortunately, the Assassins failed. Otherwise, Jiang Wei would have become the second Shu Han general to be assassinated (the first was Fei Yi).
Through Sima Zhao's attitude toward Jiang Wei, we can see very clearly what kind of harm Jiang Wei, who was spurned by the Three Kingdoms Zhengshi and many people, actually caused to Sima Zhao.
And even if the Shu Han perished, Jiang Wei could still trick Zhong Hui to rebel, and suddenly take Deng Ai and Zhong Hui into the ditch -- all of them were dead, but sima Zhao was extremely embarrassed, and the two great heroes of the shu annihilation were killed by him, thinking that this was Sima Zhao's glory and achievement? It's two slaps!
Understanding what Jiang Wei did, let's look at the history again. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" gave Jiang Wei a bad review, so-called: rough with literature and martial arts, determined to make a meritorious name, and playing the crowd brigade, ming and not careful, and eventually died.
This passage is very simple not translated, the general meaning is: Jiang Wei is ignorant of current affairs and is self-righteous. As a result, hang up!
But the strange thing is that in the main text of "Jiang Wei's Biography", inexplicably, there is a large paragraph of praise: the talk of mortals, often praised as success and failure, supporting high and suppressing, Xian with Jiang Wei to throw everything, death and extinction, in order to be depreciated, not to be re-materialized, different from the Spring and Autumn praise and depreciation of the righteousness.
This is a passage from "On Jiang Wei". The general meaning is that ordinary people are heroes based on success or failure, but what Jiang Wei did can be called "Spring and Autumn Righteousness". Not only, it is not something that ordinary people can understand!
What does "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" do to Jiang Wei, fighting each other with left and right hands? That's right! This was actually Sima Zhao's truest reaction to Jiang Wei's attitude. As for the Sima family (Sima Zhao), Jiang Wei was the fiercest enemy and opponent of the appropriate. So much so that Sima Zhao hated it and sent someone to assassinate him!
In the face of such a character, how dare Chen Shou openly give praise? Therefore, I can only bend the pen, use "Hao Zheng on Jiang Wei", and then turn it over. Unfortunately, many people only saw the evaluation in the main history, but did not see the content inside, which caused Jiang Wei to be seriously misled.
And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" obviously sees the cattiness in the history, so although the second half, written with the same taste as chewing wax, gives Jiang Wei enough "lens". Therefore, the author emphasizes that the history of the Three Kingdoms and the interpretation of the righteousness are not separated, and when combined, many wonderful points such as "Sima Zhao and Jiang Wei" can often be seen.
Of course, the last thing to emphasize is that the above is only the author's personal opinion, and it is right to throw bricks and stones.
