Sima Yi's life was full of too many legends, such as: eagle-eyed wolf Gu, countermeasures to conquer Liao, red clothing to promote war, wisdom to capture Meng Da, etc., these allusions if you change a person or change a general or other strategists, it is estimated that it may not be completed. For example, like catching Meng Da, playing against Zhuge Liang, Gongsun Yuan, etc., if you really change to someone else, there is really no way to win all...
The rebel general Meng Da in Shu began to shake his heart during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, but Emperor Shangao was far away, and it was not easy to capture him. However, Sima Yi broke the traditional use of soldiers, and was going to walk for a month, but he only took 7 days to march to Mengda City, and only then did he have a good story of capturing Mengda. ------ comments: Deeply understand the mechanics of war, take out Xiao Meng in one fell swoop.
However, the most exciting match in Sima Yi's life was the game with Mr. Kong Ming. Mr. Kong Ming is not an ordinary strategist, he not only understands the art of war, but also emphasizes the military, knows more about etiquette, is proficient in Qimen Gossip, and invents the Eight Array Diagram in the military. With such a great god, why did Sima Yi duel with him? Many people should know this problem, in the two duels with Kong Ming, he used the way of the solid wall, and in the end, the Shu army was dragged down by his method, and it turned out that Sima Ming's method was really good. Although this strategy sounds shameful, from the perspective of the fundamental problem, Sima Yi's approach is indeed relatively reliable. ------ comments: The two times against Zhuge Liang, both used the method of solid walls, in fact, they grasped the deadly point of the Shu army, the grain road.
After carrying Zhuge Liang's attack, Sima Yi was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and later led his troops against Gongsun Yuan, and in 241 he led his troops to repulse Sun Quan, and then launched Gaopingling to elevate Cao Wei. This seems to be a very normal track, but in fact, it has been prepared by Sima Yi for many years...
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared! In the Three Kingdoms, there were many people who really had the ability, and Sima Yi was one of them. Unlike Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming was Liu Beisan's fourth request and went out of the mountain. And Sima Yi? Directly scared out of the mountain by Cao Cao. What does this mean? Let's take a look at the situation at that time... According to the Book of Jin and the Chronicle of Emperor Xuan, "And Wei Wu was a chancellor, and it was also set aside as a literary book, and the narrator said: "If you repeat huan, you will receive it." "The emperor took office in fear. It was so embarrassing, because he was afraid of being imprisoned by Cao Cao, so he went out of the mountain to work for Cao Wei! Compared with Kong Ming, this treatment is simply a world of difference, but this does not affect his career development...
After Sima Yi took office, he successively served as a councilor, a subordinate of Eastern Cao, and a master bookkeeper. During his work, he was alienated by Cao Cao, for what reason? Because Cao Cao found that Sima Yi was a hawk-eyed wolf Gu Zhi, he thought that he was not a qualified employee at all. In Cao Cao's words, "This person will definitely interfere in my family's affairs"! What should I do if I am suspected by my superiors? Sima Yi made two preparations, one was to be a grandson and do his duty in his work, and the other was to marry Cao Pi. Because of the good work, in Cao Cao's lifetime, he could not do anything to Sima Yi.
Tsuka Tiger Fa Wei: Sima Yi served as a lonely and important minister for two generations of Cao Wei, and served as a great general, a lieutenant and other high-ranking officials. However, the strength of the subsequent Cao Wei was far inferior to that of Cao Cao, Cao Bu, and Cao Rui. Sima Yi also successfully used the time difference to get Cao Shuang, the last barrier of Cao Wei. Then he launched Gao Pingling, and at once put the achievements of the three generations of Cao's struggle into his own pocket...
Through analysis, it can be found that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang not only appear in different ways, but even their way of dealing with the world is also very different. The same thing was placed on Zhuge Liang, but he preferred to die as a vassal, and absolutely did not dare to think that he was in power. And Sima Yi is different, he is always thinking about how to seize power, how to create momentum...
However, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang still have many similarities. First, they were all people whom the imperial court relied on. Second, they all hold military power. Third, they all understand the art of war and know the opportunity of heaven.
The above mentioned a key word, "understand the art of war, know the heavens and the machine." Before Kong Ming's death, he deliberately taught his martial arts experience to his beloved disciple Jiang Wei, but what about Sima Yi? Did he have any descendants? In fact, the answer is obvious, there is! Moreover, this person also defeated Jiang Wei and became an eternal pain in Liu Chan's heart!
Who is Sima Yi's "successor"? In fact, this person understands the art of war, and has led his troops to repel Jiang Wei many times, and can be called a trumpet changsheng general. He is Deng Ai, speaking of Deng Ai, although he eventually became a famous general of Cao Wei and ranked in the Wu Temple. But his initial work was really not good, and it was not satisfactory, compared to Jiang Wei, it was much smaller! Let's take a look at Deng Ai's life experience...
Deng Ai originally lived in Xinye. In 208 AD, that is, after the Battle of Chibi, he was moved to Henan and became a petty officer to watch grain and grass, how big this official was, don't care too much, it can be completely ignored. Different from ordinary people is Deng Ai, who especially likes the military, and when there is nothing to do, it is to survey the terrain and engage in military study...
In a twist of fate------ he was promoted by Tsukasa Tiger. As the most powerful Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, they had to continue to tun tian and accumulate military food to provide military support for the great cause of reunification in the future. As mentioned above, early warning likes to do exercises when there is nothing to do, which was famous at the time. However, it was also because of his habit that he was actually sent to the front line to inspect (the border between Cao Wei and the State of Wu). And Deng Ai also lived up to the trip, and after inspecting the situation, he proposed that the first is to build water conservancy, and the second is to need military tuns. In this way, the accumulation of grain can be increased, and 100,000 people can be saved and eaten for several years, so that whether it is against Eastern Wu or Shu Han, they will never be trapped by grain and grass, which greatly improves the possibility of winning. --- Deng Ai's strategy was greatly recognized by Sima Yi and immediately implemented. In 243, Deng Ai was directly promoted to Nan'an Taishou (南安太守). This is the power of trust...
In fact, before Sima Yi was alive, he already had a master and apprentice with Deng Ai. However, Jiang Wei, who had been out of Kong Ming,was also always thinking about the Northern Expedition in order to repay Kong Ming's kindness. And Deng Ai, the same is true, especially after Sima Yi's death, Deng Ai vashu completed, Sima Yi's wishes, which also became a must do homework.
Jiang Wei vs Deng Ai. Ability, extraordinary, different positions, sooner or later have to compete for hegemony, just like the Tsukasa Tiger and Crouching Dragon of the year! In 249, Jiang Wei led an army to the Northern Expedition, but was defeated by Deng Ai's encirclement strategy.
In 257 AD, the two competed again. In 257, Jiang Wei went out of Luo Valley and wanted to attack a large amount of military food at the great wall of Cao Wei, but Deng Ai saw through Jiang Wei's plan and divided his troops in advance, although Jiang Wei commanded military operations many times, but in the end he found nothing. Historical records record: "Before the maintenance lived in Mangshui, they all leaned on the mountains as camps. Wang, Ai Pingwei Jianwei, dimensional challenge, Wang, Ai should not. "This strategy is not very familiar. Yes, this is quite similar to sima yi's strategy when he was fighting Zhuge Liang.
In 262 AD, Jiang Wei sent troops to the Northern Expedition, this time the opponent is still Deng Ai, the history books do not record too much, but record Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai! "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei Biography": Five years, Wei led the crowd out of Han, Hou He, and was broken by Deng Ai! As a result, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai many times.
In 263, Deng Ai participated in the war to destroy Shu, and if he wanted to get the Shu kingdom, he actually only needed to get Jiang Wei done. How to deal with Jiang Wei, of course, is still handled by Deng Ai. Deng Ai ordered Wang Yi, Qian Hong, Yang Xin, and others to attack Jiang Wei's camp, the front army, and the rear army respectively. Jiang Wei was invincible, has been retreating to Yinping, the two sides fought again, Jiang Wei was defeated and retreated..., this is not the end, Deng Ai led his troops to take a dangerous road, crossed Yinping, and then directly attacked Chengdu, taking Chengdu, Liu Chan also became his palm! In the historical data, the record of Deng Ai is indeed not too much, but this does not affect his status, and he can fight so wonderfully with Zhuge Liang's descendants, and his ability is naturally not bad! In the contest between Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, it seems that Deng Ai has never lost, but Jiang Wei has repeatedly fought and retreated, why? intellect? ability? Art?
