Who is better, Cao Cao or Zhuge Liang? I have read a lot of articles on this recently (don’t say I’m boring). Friends who like the Three Kingdoms can discuss them all together.

Obviously Cao Cao was very powerful and ambitious, he basically unified the north, and he was also very outstanding in literature. The famous saying "I am an old man, but I am ambitious for a thousand miles" is widely circulated. Of course, Zhuge Liang's "Shi Shi Biao" is also first-rate, and Zhuge Liang's character of loyalty to the Han Dynasty is also praised by future generations, and Zhuge Liang is mythologized. But in comparison, I still think Cao Cao is more powerful. Answered by: November Rain and Lily | Level 4 | 2011-6-3 22:01

I think it is Cao Cao.

Read the article first. Don't tell me that Zhuge Liang has a "Chu Shi Biao". "Chu Shi Biao" is famous because of his loyalty and true feelings. His literary talent is not very good. Anyone who understands literature understands this. Cao Cao's poems are extremely magnificent. He sees not only a narrow world, but also a kind of natural domineering and heroic spirit, which are reflected in "Guan Cang Hai". First of all, the literary realm of the two is very different.

Secondly, look at martial arts. When Cao Cao was surrounded by dozens of people, he killed them with his bare hands and fled. Needless to say, Wen Chou also died at his hands. (Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu). Zhuge Liang== Do you think he can fight?

Then there is resourcefulness. Cao Cao started from scratch and gained two out of three points in the world. The lack of unity was also due to mistakes. Zhuge Liang just settled in a corner and didn't fight many battles. Moreover, Cao Cao is the lord and Zhuge Liang is the counselor, which is obviously not the same level. Your comparison should be with Cao Cao's intelligence team.

Historical contribution: Cao Cao made the greatest contribution to the subsequent three-part return to Jin. Zhuge Liang divided the country and caused the war to continue again.

Summary: Cao Cao is much more powerful than Zhuge Liang.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was the most powerful! No one can match his literary, military, and bold mind. Answered by: Houyingzhan | Level 2 | 2011-6-3 22:06

Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was completely mythologized in Chen Shou's Romance of the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang was unparalleled in internal affairs but mediocre in military affairs

Personally, I think Cao Cao was more powerful. In history, Cao Cao was an awesome politician, military strategist and poet. Zhuge Liang was very powerful politically but was inferior in military matters. A little bit · Answered by: Beast Love Poetry | Level 2 | 2011-6-3 22:11

About straw boat borrowing arrows.

The straw boat borrowing arrows was actually Sun Quan, not Zhuge Liang. Once, Sun Quan was inspecting the front line and was discovered by Cao Cao. He could only shoot arrows because of the heavy fog. Sun Quan filled the ship with arrows just to keep it balanced.

The following is an excerpt from Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms"

For the Three Kingdoms, the most outrageous image is Zhuge Liang. Other stories like "Burning Bowang", "Burning New Fields", "Empty City Plan", etc. are all made up. For example, the Empty City Strategy. In fact, there is a story about the Empty City Strategy, but it did not happen to Zhuge Liang, but to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting, Cao Cao's army went out of the city to harvest wheat, and suddenly Lu Bu's army came over. In desperation, Cao Cao sent all his family members who were accompanying the army to stand guard on the city wall. When Lu Bu came over to take a look, the whole city was filled with singing and dancing birds, making beautiful sounds. Looking again, there was a forest outside the city, which was unfathomable. Lu Bu thought that Cao Cao, a cunning and cunning thief, must have planted an ambush in the forest, so retreat! After he withdrew, he thought about it and was unwilling to give in. He came again the next day. This time Cao Cao really ambush his troops in the woods.

Cao Cao is powerful, has many strategies, and is purely self-made. Respondent: Enthusiastic netizen | 2011-6-3 22:14

This is an incomparable problem.

For example: Zhuge Liang is a genius military strategist and has a good way of managing a country, but he is not suitable to lead troops in war and be in charge of the military. Zhou Yu is quite suitable for leading troops in battle. Because the battles led by Kong Ming were rarely defeated. For example, the "Six Out of Qishan" failed to win. But what highlights his "magic" is: after he was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei, he immediately sent a troop to garrison on the uninhabited Shu Road. Others were confused. It was not until Kong Ming died that the troop was withdrawn. . At this time, Sima Yi led his soldiers and horses to attack the Shu Kingdom directly from the Shu Road and destroyed it.

Cao Cao was an outstanding politician and military strategist. He was also very good at managing the country and ensuring that the people had enough food and clothing, but sometimes he would sacrifice the lives of others for his own interests. Didn't he say, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me?" However, Cao Cao was too suspicious, which also caused him to lose many battles.

Both of them are worth learning from. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we cannot compare them unilaterally.

If you really want to compare, just feel it with your own heart. After all, everyone has different opinions.

I support Zhuge Liang the most, and he has a wonderful plan Respondent: lrjnb007 | Level 1 | 2011-6-3 22:28

Putting aside the idea of ??supporting Liu and opposing Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from the official history, Cao Cao is more powerful than Zhuge Liang. History defines Cao Cao as a statesman, military strategist, and writer. He started from scratch, defeated the Yellow Turban, and defeated Zhuge Liang. Dong Zhuo captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Yuan Shao, went deep into the northern part of the Great Wall, and reached Liaodong. He basically pacified the north and stabilized the chaotic situation in the world. In terms of military, he can be said to be a god with his troops. In the process of pacifying the north, there were many With the example of less victory over more, and in poetry, he also has his own unique style, and is known as the three caos, while Zhuge Liang seems to be much inferior. Politically, he is okay, he governs the country and cares for the people, sits in the rear, and militarily , it seems to be bad, he was defeated when he was just starting out, he failed to achieve his goal after six outings from Qishan, Liu Bei entered Shu and used Pang Tong, and seized Hanzhong and used Fa Zheng. Zhuge Liang is only a talent for governing the country, so he is not as good as Cao Cao! Answerer: 913873185 | Level 3 | 2011- 6-3 22:35

They are all awesome. In fact, the story about Zhuge Liang's superior resourcefulness in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not all fiction. And in terms of governing the country, let alone Zhuge. And Cao Cao was not only powerful militarily, but also not to mention literary, he was not averagely strong. As for employment and ambition, not to mention, Cao Cao completely beat Zhuge Liang in this regard. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao found the letters between his generals and Yuan Shao before the war and burned them without reading them. However, Zhuge Liang was too demanding on talents and had deep prejudices. This is the case for Wei Yan. Moreover, he was not at ease with other people's work. The book said that he had to personally deal with any matters punished by more than 20 military sticks in the army. Others once advised him not to do everything personally. He said that he was afraid that others would not be like me. Just imagine how being so distrustful of your subordinates is conducive to the cultivation of young talents? In the end, the Shu Han was short of talents, and Zhuge Liang was to blame! Throughout his life, Zhuge Liang only found second- and third-rate talents like Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and Jiang Wan who were disciplined and lacked courage, because he was rest assured that he would not change the decision he had made.

As for talents like Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang can be said to have always been uneasy and suppressed him everywhere. His generosity is evident. Moreover, doing everything by hand is exhausting yourself to death. At the same time, Zhuge Liang's strategic vision is also very problematic. With the Shu Han's own strength, it was okay to secure a solid defense, but the proactive attack depleted the Shu Han's already weak financial resources and eventually led to its demise. It can be said that Zhuge Liang must bear some responsibility for the demise of the Shu Han.

So to sum up, Cao Cao is more powerful than Zhuge Liang. Answered by: IX630 | Level 4 | 2011-6-3 22:48

Cao Cao. According to historical facts, the contemporary hero should be Cao Cao. I believe everyone has read Chairman Mao’s "Spring Snow in Qinyuan"! I think only Cao Cao has the style of a general he described! Answered by: G Geliang | Level 5 | 2011-6-3 22:49

(I like Zhuge Liang better) According to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I think Zhuge Liang is the most talented person. , there is a popular saying of "Wolong and Phoenix" (Wolong - Zhuge Liang, Phoenix - Pang Tong), whoever gets one of them will be able to compete in the world (but Pang Tong is very useless and rarely used), Liu Bei also became famous in the world because of Zhuge Liang, and there was a "Shu Kingdom". Who invented "Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse", "Eight Formation Diagram", "Zhuge Liannu", "Kongming Lantern" and "Kongming Chess" , "Fire Beast", "Bridge Gun". . . Even the "steamed buns" we eat now were invented by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang goes beyond these, and has many more strategies: Burning Bowang Slope, Capturing Meng Huo seven times, Wisdom humiliating Zhongda, Burning Chibi (Zhou Yu), Three Qi Zhou Yu, Longzhong Dui, Zhishu Huarong Dao, Lu Xun retreated from the Stone Bagua Formation, Jiang Wei was captured wisely, the army was ordered to show its sage, six marches out of Qishan, Xinye was set on fire and Wei Yan was killed, Wolong paid tribute, straw boats borrowed arrows, and the city was empty. . .

And what about Cao Cao! I think he is a traitor. In Peking Opera, isn't there a white-faced Cao Cao? White face represents cunning and cunning in Peking Opera.

Have you all seen the recent Red Cliff shoot? Cao Cao was so arrogant in the last scene. (If you don’t know, go and see for yourself)

So I personally think Zhuge Liang is more powerful! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Answered by: Enthusiastic Netizen | 2011-6-3 22:51

In the 18th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao raised an army of 400,000 and personally went south to conquer Sun Quan. In the first month of the following year, Cao's army advanced to Ruxukou (southeast of today's Chao County, Anhui), broke through Sun Quan's camp in Jiangbei, and captured his general Gongsun Yang alive. Sun Quan personally led 70,000 troops to Ruxukou to resist Cao's army. The two armies fought for more than a month, each gaining nothing. Cao Cao saw that Sun Quan's army was in good shape and it was difficult for him to win, so he withdrew his troops and returned north. ——Cao Cao did not defeat Sun Quan.

In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Liu Bei personally led his army to Yangping Pass. Xia Houyuan and others confronted Liu Bei at the pass. In July, Cao Cao personally led his army to Guanzhong and settled in Chang'an so that he could direct the battle in Hanzhong at any time. In the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei crossed the Mian River (today's Han River) from the south of Yangping Pass, marched along the mountains, and garrisoned at Dingjun Mountain (today's southeast of Mian County, Shaanxi Province). Xia Houyuan sent troops to compete with Liu Bei for terrain, but was killed by Liu Bei. , Cao Jun was defeated. Cao Cao then abandoned Hanzhong and all his troops retreated to Chang'an. ——Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei.

In July of the 24th year of Jian'an, as soon as Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, Liu Bei's general Guan Yu launched an attack from Jingzhou to his southeastern defense line of Xiang and Fan. When Cao Cao heard about it, he immediately sent General Jun to lead his troops to rescue Fancheng. In August, Guan Yu took advantage of the flooding and defeated the seven armies under Yu Jin. He took advantage of the situation and marched to surround Fancheng. At that time, Cao Ren's army in Fancheng only had a few thousand men. The city was flooded, and the water surface was only a few feet away from the tower. Cao Ren led his army to defend to the death. Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to lead troops to rescue Fancheng. In October, Cao Cao rushed to Luoyang from Guanzhong and personally directed the rescue of Fancheng.

Sun Quan was very reluctant to let Guan Yu's power develop because Guan Yu was located upstream. Moreover, he had already wanted to capture Jingzhou, so he contacted Cao Cao and prepared to use general Lu Meng to sneak attack Jiangling, the important place in Jingzhou. After receiving the letter, Cao Cao informed Cao Ren of the news and ordered him to continue to hold on. He marched to Mobei (southeast of today's Jiaxian County, Henan Province). When he was near the command, he sent 12 battalions to reinforce Xu Huang and ordered him to counterattack Guan Yu.

Soon, Lu Meng succeeded in a sneak attack on Jiangling. Guan Yu withdrew his troops, but was captured and killed by Sun Quan's army on the way. ——Cao Cao did not defeat Guan Yu, but Lu Meng did.

Cao Cao was not only an outstanding politician and military strategist in Chinese history, but also an outstanding litterateur. ” are all immortal literary works.

Since Cao Cao's southern expedition, he has recruited Liu Cong's 70,000 to 80,000 navy and army troops along the way and seized a large amount of grain, grass and weapons. After occupying Jiangling, he decided to take advantage of the victory and move eastward along the Yangtze River, annihilating Liu Bei and Liu Qi in one fell swoop, and then move east of the Yangtze River.

Zhuge Liang once wrote a memorial to Liu Chan during his lifetime, saying that he had 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of thin fields in Chengdu to provide for the living needs of his family. He has been working abroad all year round, relying on the state for food and clothing, and has no savings or property. After his death, after an inventory, it turned out to be true. It shows that Zhuge Liang is able to strictly demand himself despite his position.

Zhuge Liang's life can be roughly divided into three periods. The first period is before joining the Liu Bei Group, which is the period of youth growth, ***27 years; the second period is the period when helping Liu Bei establish and consolidate his political power, from 207 AD to 222 AD, ***16 years; The three periods are the period of assisting Liu Chan in governing the Shu Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, from 223 to 234, ***12 years.

The historical activities of Zhuge Liang in the second half of his life fully demonstrated his outstanding insights and talents in politics, military and diplomacy. Chen Shou commented on Zhuge Liang in "Three Kingdoms": As prime minister, Zhuge Liang can appease the people, establish laws, rectify official positions, abide by the authority system, and be open and honest; even if there is enmity, he will reward those who are loyal and beneficial to the country. Those who break the law and neglect their duties, even if they are their own relatives, must be punished; those who truly plead guilty and tell the truth can be released even if the crime is serious; those who quibble, deny, and cover up their mistakes must be severely punished even if the crime is light; for Good deeds, no matter how trivial, are rewarded, and evil deeds, no matter how trivial, are punished; he handles political affairs with refinement, can grasp the essence of things, observes people according to their names, and does not hire hypocritical people; because he is careful He was fair and had clear rewards and punishments, so the whole country feared and respected him. Although the criminal law was severe, no one complained. Zhuge Liang can be regarded as an outstanding talent who knows how to govern a country, similar to Guan Zhong, Xiao He, etc.

Although Chen Shou's comments on Zhuge Liang are somewhat beautifying and exaggerating, they at least reflect Zhuge Liang's personal moral ability and his achievements in governing Shu to a certain extent, and are worthy of our reference.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Zhuge Liang had clear rewards and punishments, open-minded policies, was good at governing the country, appeasing ethnic minorities, and easing the relationship between Sichuan and the foreign Liu Bei army. Of course, Qiao Zhou was not convinced and he surrendered.

Zhuge Liang is a truly ambitious politician, and he has a greater ambition than Cao Cao. Of course Cao Cao also loved talents, but he was ruthless and did not take people seriously, massacring Liucheng and Xuzhou. Zhuge Liang has no selfish thoughts at all and loves talents wholeheartedly.

Zhuge Liang’s military is slightly superior to Cao Cao. Cao Cao gave me an example. The Battle of Chibi was not an accidental underestimation of the enemy. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao failed to defeat Sun Quan, failed to resist Liu Bei, and failed to resist Guan Yu. This was Cao Cao himself. His intelligence is not good enough. Zhuge Liang didn't lose many battles, and he was very good in all the battles he personally directed. However, Jieting misused Ma Di, and his several failures in the later stages of the Six Outs of Qishan were all due to logistical and material issues.

The reason why Cao Cao is so powerful is probably because he has a large territory and strong national power. This is not due to human nature, but to the favorable weather and location. Zhuge Liang became rich and was born early, how could Cao Cao have such a large territory?

Zhuge Kongming had a high moral character of "devoting his whole life to the end of his life", and had the ambition to manage the world and benefit the people and create a peaceful and prosperous age. However, it is difficult to escape the ancients' "foolish loyalty" idea of ??loyalty to the emperor and righteousness, but this is also Justifiable.

Cao Mengde is a traitor who "would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." One or two.

Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, people with virtue and talent emerged in large numbers, and there was no shortage of people who were brave and good at fighting. However, there were not many people who had both, let alone their respective destinations, such as Lu Bu, the Marquis of Duting. The most powerful general in the world, but dishonest and untrustworthy, eventually withered and died. Meng De was a wise man, but his country was stolen by others. Isn't it even more tragic?
