The Strategy

1 Sima Yi

Sima Yi was born in a rich family. In his early years, he worked as a minor official in the county, and was later turned into a literary scholar by Cao Cao. Cao Cao called the queen of Wei, Sima Yi the son of a concubine of the crown prince, assisted Cao Pi, and was listed as one of the "four friends" with Chen Qun, and was the main figure of Cao Pi's think tank. After Cao Pi replaced Han, Sima Yi rose steadily and began to hold heavy power. After Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi sat in Wancheng, supervised the military of Jingyu and the two states, presided over the battle against Wu in Jingzhou, and later took over Cao Zhen's defense work against Shu, and successfully defended Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition several times. After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang jointly assisted the government. Sima Yi was excluded by Cao Shuang and then launched a coup to kill Cao Shuang's family. Since then, he has seized the power of the State of Wei. After Sima Yi's death, the Wei regime was still under the control of his son, which led to the occurrence of the Jin Dynasty and Wei many years later. Sima Yi was posthumously crowned emperor of the Jin Dynasty by his descendants.

Sima Yi was an outstanding military strategist in the late Wei period. He was smart and sophisticated, and could be called the first in the Three Kingdoms. Historically, it is believed that Sima Yi is the nemesis of Zhuge Liang. Because what Zhuge Liang was most afraid of was Sima Yi, and the Northern Expedition, which used alienation to make Sima Yi lose his military power, was the most successful. After that, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi held each other for a long time and could never win. They can't help each other. However, looking at Zhuge Liang's northern expedition, Sima Yi was always very passive in dealing with Zhuge Liang. He was simply tolerant and suffered all kinds of humiliation without anger. His cowardice made other generals of the State of Wei look down on him. Moreover, Sima Yi makes Zhuge Liang easily get rid of it whenever his advantage is obvious (of course, when Zhuge Liang has an advantage, he is also resolved by Sima Yi). It can be said that Sima Yi almost dragged Zhuge Liang to death and finally won this protracted war. Sima Yi didn't seem to have thought of defeating Zhuge Liang at the beginning. He blindly concedes and will always be defensive. If Zhuge Liang gains 20 more years, I believe Sima Yi will deal with it in the same way. However, is Sima Yi really not Zhuge Liang's opponent? Is Sima Yi's tactical style really passive defense? Watch Sima Yi capture Meng Da, don't wait for the imperial edict, less than ten days. The timing is accurate and the speed of action is amazing. In the subsequent Liaodong rebellion, the rebels raised 150,000 troops. At that time, 4,000 miles apart, and the Wei army was a long way away. Sima Yi was able to "break the enemy in the past 100 days, attack 100 days, return 100 days, and rest 60 days" with only 40,000 troops. Its strong attack and tactical initiative are very different from the Shu army. Why is this so? Analyzing, before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Sima Yi was separated from the opposition. After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi still had to deceive the monarch of the State of Wei by fraud, making Wei Jun think that he would not pose a threat. The reason is that Sima Yi has been suspected in the State of Wei. And what is the reason for Sima Yi's reinstatement? It is the talent of Wei that does not deal with Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi can't be used. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi's life-and-death enemy, is the one who can really control Sima Yi. There is no reason why Sima Yi doesn't know the truth of the bird's bow. Therefore, Sima Yi adopted a balanced strategy to maintain the status quo. On the one hand, it prevents Zhuge Liang from gaining a great advantage and poses a fatal threat to the State of Wei and himself. On the other hand, it does not defeat Zhuge Liang and maintains Zhuge Liang's attack power.

2Guo Jia

One of the core figures of Cao Cao's early military think tank, with extraordinary strategic vision and insight. Because of its excellent overall view, there are often incisive and successful suggestions for the selection of combat goals and the grasp of the combat period. Cao Cao completely smashed several powerful warlords such as Yuan Shao and Lv Bu, and made great achievements in the process of northern hegemony. Guo Jiada's mutual appreciation in the world and Cao Cao has also been spread as a good story. Unfortunately, God was jealous of the talents. After the Northern Expedition to suppress the remnants of Yuan Shi, he died of illness. He was only 38 years old.

Chen Shou said: Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, Jiang Jicai's strategy, the wonders of the world, although the Qing Dynasty ruled morality, is different from Xun You, and the planning is also his plan. Cao Cao's version 1: Guo Jia, the military sacrifice wine, has been eleven years since the expedition. Every time there is a big discussion, change in the face of the enemy. The minister's policy has not been decided, and it is often achieved. Peace the world and make great contributions. Unfortunately, he is short-lived and his career is not over. I can't forget Jiaxun.

3 Zhuge Liang

Outstanding politicians and strategists in the Three Kingdoms are known as models of "the good appearance of the ages". His parents died early and was raised by his uncle Xuan. Later, due to the chaos in Xuzhou, he avoided the chaos in Jingzhou, devoted himself to learning and indifferent to his ambition. Later, he received the gift of Liu Bei and proposed the famous Longzhong pair, which instigated the alliance between Sun and Liu to defeat Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi and laid the foundation for the Three Kingdoms. Shu Han was established and worshipped as the prime minister. Liu Bei failed to attack Wu, was entrusted to be isolated in Yong'an, assisted the young master, externally connected with Eastern Wu, studied internal politics, conquered the rebellion in the south, and resisted the strong Wei in the north. In order to complete the unification of the Central Plains and restore the great cause of the Han Dynasty, he attacked the State of Wei five times and exerted his talents in governing the country, the army, etc. With the strength of the civilian people, the people were not disappropriate. He also deduced the art of war and made "eight arrays" to create profits and losses, wooden cattle and horses, and fought against the famous generals Sima Yi and Zhang Hao, and repeatedly won the last Northern Expedition. At that time, he adopted the policy of segregating troops and staging the field, and held with Sima Yi's army for more than 100 days, but unfortunately, he died of fatigue and became a disease at the age of 54, and was known as the Marquis of Zhongwu. His noble character of "bowing as hard as possible and dying" has been respected and missed by people for thousands of years.

Chen Shou: Zhuge Liang is also the prime minister, cares the people, shows rituals, contracts official positions, obeys the system, is open-minded, and provides justice; those who are loyal and beneficial will be rewarded, although those who break the law and neglect the law will be punished, those who accept the crime will be released although they are heavy, and those who are clever and decorated will be killed; good is not appreciated, and evil is not delicate but not derogatory; common affairs are refined, physics In the end, he is blamed and hypocritical. In the end, he is afraid and loves it. Although the criminal government is severe and has no complaints, he is calm and warns him. It can be said that he is a good talent for knowledge and governance. However, it has moved the public for many years and failed to succeed. It is not its best!

4 Cheng Yu

A famous minister of the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms. His real name is Cheng Li, and he changed his name to Cheng Yu because he supported the sun in Mount Tai in his dream. Yu Dong'a led the people to fight against the yellow scarf. Later, from Cao Cao in Yanzhou, he was awarded the title of Zhang Ling. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu stayed behind, blocked the army of Lv Bu and Chen Gong, and preserved the three cities. Because of their merit, they were awarded the title of Dongping prime minister and stationed in Fan County. Yuchang offered advice for Cao Cao. After Emperor Xian of Han set the capital Xuchang, he took Cheng Yu as the minister, and then became the general of Dongzhonglang, leading the governor of Jiyin and the governor of Yanzhou. Later, Emperor Wen practiced, and Cheng Yu became a lieutenant and became the Marquis of An. In the first year of Huang Chu's death and his 80th birthday, Cao Pi also shed tears for it. He was posthumously awarded the title of General Suhou.

5 Pang Tong

Pang Tong is a famous scholar in Jingzhou. He joined the Liu Bei Group after the Battle of Chibi. At first, he only served as a county magistrate. With the recommendation of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, he was valued by Liu Bei. Liu Bei appointed him as a general in the middle of the army, and Zhuge Liang, and his cronies were second only to Zhuge Liang. Pang Tong strongly advised Liu Bei to take Shu and follow Liu Bei into Sichuan to capture Shu generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei and march into Chengdu. However, in the battle of besieging Li City, Liu Bei shed tears.

Chen Shou commented: Pang Tongya is a good person. After learning and thinking, Shi Jing and Chu are called Gao Jun. Wei Chen, the uncle of Xun Yu?

6 Xunyu

Since he was a child, he was regarded as Wang Zuo's talent. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he resigned and returned to his hometown and led the people to move to Jizhou. Xun Yu thought that Yuan Shao could not achieve a big deal in the end, so he went to Dongjun to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao appreciated him very much and compared him to Zhang Liang and appointed him as Sima. Xun Yu was 29 years old that year. When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Lv Bu attacked Yanzhou. Xun Yu was not afraid of being single and went to retreat from Guo Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, and saved three cities with Cheng Yu. Soon after, Lv Bu was defeated, and Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to welcome Emperor Xian of Han, so he was promoted to servant and Shang Shuling. Because Xun Yu has recommended outstanding talents to Cao Cao many times, such as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc., Cao Cao respects Xun Yu more and discusses with him every major event. Yuan Shao was powerful, and Cao Cao was hesitant about whether to go to war with him. Xun Yu enlightened Cao Cao with four wins and four defeats, which made him finally determined to fight against Yuan. During the battle of Guandu, the reply strengthened Cao Cao's will and finally defeated Yuan Shao to unify the Central Plains. This was Xun Yu's plan. In the 17th year of Jian'an, Dong Zhao and others advised Cao Cao to ascend to the throne. Xun Yu privately objected, so he was hated by Cao and took him to the expedition when he was fighting Sun Quan. Because in the past, when Cao Cao sent troops to Xun Yu was left behind, so Xun Yu was worried and afraid. Finally, he died of illness in Shouchun. After his death, he was pursued as a marquis, and then he was chased as a lieutenant.

Xun Yu is beautiful and elegant, with the style of Wang Zuo, but he has a prior knowledge and fails to satisfy his ambition

7 Xunyou

He was very famous at a young age and was appointed as a servant of the Yellow Gate by the court. He had conspired with people to kill Dong Zhuo but was sentenced to prison. Later, Dong Zhuo died, and Xun You went home to be a magistrate in Shu County, but he stayed in Jingzhou because of the difficult road, and was soon invited by Cao Cao to serve as a military division. When Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu, Lv Bu, Yuan Shao and other strong enemies, Xun You was by his side to advise him and always succeeded. As a result, Xun You has been promoted to an additional position and has always been awarded the order of Shangshu. Xun You was highly respected by Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Once when he fell ill, Cao Pi, who went to visit him, fell to his bedside. He was also a good friends with Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu sorted out and wrote 12 tricks he envisioned for Xun You. Zhong Yu died before he finished writing them, so those tricks were lost in later generations. Xun You was chased as a respectful marquis after his death.

Chen Shou: Xun You and Jia Xu are full of strategies. After Da's persuasion, they are good and flat!

8 Lu Su

was a famous general of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In the early years, Lu Su became the mayor of Dongcheng under Yuan Shu. Later, on the recommendation of Zhou Yu, he became Sun Quan's staff. Early on, he planned a strategic plan for Sun Quan to achieve the imperial career, which was deeply valued by Sun Quan. Before the Battle of Red Cliff, Lu Su played an extremely important role in uniting Liu Bei and persuading Sun Quan to fight against Cao, and later assisted Zhou Yu to win the Battle of Red Cliff. After the Red Cliff War, Lu Su considered the overall situation and persuaded Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei and continue to consolidate Sun and Liu's alliance. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su took over his position and was responsible for Jingzhou affairs.

Chen Shou commented: Cao Gong took advantage of the capital of the Han Dynasty to sweep the group of emperors, sweeping away the new Jing City, and relying on the power of Dongxia. There is no doubt about it at that time. Zhou Yu and Lu Sujian are arbitrarily clear, out of everyone, and they are also real geniuses.

9 Jia Xu

Originally, he was a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu suggested that Li Yu, Guo Yan and others attack Chang'an in order to protect himself, causing chaos, and successively attached Duan Wei and Zhang Xiu, and repeatedly offered wonderful tricks. Later, he advised Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao and became an important counselor under Cao Cao. He had many suggestions on issues such as war officials, Pingma Chao and the establishment of heirs, which were valued by Cao Cao. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Jia Xu was promoted to lieutenant and died a few years later. Jia Xu was extremely wise and good at self-serving. He was recognized as a wise man at that time.

10 Chen Gong

Chen Gongzi Gongtai, also from Dongjun. He is rigid and strong, and is rarely connected with well-known people in the sea. When the world was in chaos, he began to follow Taizu, and then from Lv Bu to draw a plan for the cloth. Xia Pi was defeated and captured by Cao Cao. The palace begged to kill him immediately and died calmly.

Xunyou: Chen Gong has wisdom.
