Recently, a mysterious rumor about Sima Yi, a historical figure in the Three Kingdoms period, has attracted widespread attention. According to rumors, Sima Yi did not cut down Shu again after Zhuge Liang's death! This news has not only caused a lot of heated discussions among history buffs, but also caused a lot of controversy. So, what is the reason why Sima Yi chose to remain silent on this matter? Today we will delve into this amazing secret in the history of the Three Kingdoms!
【Background depiction】
During the Three Kingdoms period, wars were raging and heroes were produced. Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, fought many times with Sima Yi, the general of Cao Wei, and the two can be described as a pair of old enemies. However, when Zhuge Liang died of illness, people thought that Sima Yi would take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy Shu Han. However, unexpectedly, Sima Yi chose not to cut down Shu again for the rest of his life, and this decision shocked the world!
[Explanation]
In order to understand the motives behind Sima Yi's move, we have to review the historical background of the time. After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu Han regime fell into internal and external troubles. Although Shu Han still had a certain amount of combat effectiveness, it was no longer able to compete with Cao Wei. As an important general of Cao Wei, Sima Yi was strong and fully capable of completely defeating Shu Han.
However, Sima Yi chose to temporarily abandon the attack on Shu Han and instead concentrate on fighting the Wu state. Behind this decision, perhaps the result of Sima Yi's careful consideration. He clearly realized that if all his forces were to destroy Shu Han, it would inevitably lead to a respite for Wu, which would pose a greater threat to Cao Wei. Therefore, Sima Yi decided to maintain the existence of Shu Han for the time being, in order to stabilize Cao Wei's rule and prepare for the future confrontation with Wu.
【Important Answer】
To sum up, Sima Yi's decision not to attack Shu again in his life was not due to pity or weakness for Shu Han, but out of deep insight and careful consideration of the entire Three Kingdoms pattern. He understands that politics is a constant battle, and that there is always a need to weigh the pros and cons in order to consolidate his dominance. Although Sima Yi's decision caused some controversy at the time, in the long run, it did lay a solid foundation for Cao Wei's stability and development.
[Closing Summary]
Through the discussion of the mystery of Sima Yi's lifelong re-cutting of Shu, we not only have a deeper understanding of the historical events of the Three Kingdoms period, but also feel the wisdom and courage of Sima Yi as a generation of strategists.
