Sima Yi's family is prominent, intelligent and knowledgeable. When he was young, he was praised by all parties, saying that he would do something in the future and was not an ordinary person. After Cao Cao became the prime minister, he was forced to expropriate literature and embarked on the road of official career, which opened Sima Yi's life full of legendary stories.

Sima Yi held an official position when Cao Cao became the prime minister, and his official position kept rising, from the literary position of Sima, the prime minister's army, to the generals in title of generals in ancient times, to Qiu, and he was trusted only by Cao Cao at the beginning, and later relied on and trusted by several monarchs such as Cao Pi, Cao Rui and Cao Shuang, and served as an assistant minister several times. Compared with other contemporary ministers, Sima Yi's officialdom experience is obviously smoother and more relaxed. It is precisely because of this that Sima Yi's story is more prosaic and less legendary in terms of its officialdom.
Sima Yi, as an assistant minister, has always been relied on by several emperors. Apart from helping the emperor solve problems in Korean affairs, Sima Yi has also made great contributions to the imperial court several times in military affairs. It is precisely because of his outstanding talent in both government affairs and military affairs that he has been promoted so smoothly and has always served as an assistant minister. The most famous events in its military affairs include slaying Zhang Ba, going to Gongsun Yuan, breaking Xiang Ping, capturing Meng Da and fighting against Zhu Gekongming. One of the most talked about is the battle with Zhu Gekongming. Sima Yi's brilliant military achievements also add a touch of legend to his slightly dull officialdom story.
Sima Yi assisted several emperors with his own intelligence, and at the same time gained the trust of the emperors, as usual, he finally became rebellious. In 249 AD, Sima Yi and his son staged a coup, killing three clansmen in Cao Shuang. At the age of 73, Sima Yi died of illness in Luoyang. Sima Yi's story will also end. Jia Xu and Sima Yi
Jia Xu and Sima Yi were both famous advisers in the Three Kingdoms period. In that era of wars and competing with others, Jia Xu and Sima Yi were both famous, but they had their own ideas. Next, I will introduce Jia Xu and Sima Yi in detail.
The picture shows a portrait of Jia Xu
Jia Xu was born in 147 at the age of 77. He was the founding hero of Cao Wei, changed his master several times, and was a famous counselor of the Three Kingdoms. He only stood in the position of counselor all his life, which is related to many factors. First, he just wants to survive in peace, and he doesn't want his sharpness to be too exposed. This can be seen from his trembling and cautious words and deeds all his life. He disciplined his children to keep their place and do their job. Sima Yi's discipline of children is to make them ambitious and have a long-term vision, which is quite popular with everyone. This is related to Sima Yi's family background. After Sima Yi was a noble family in Hanoi, his style was driven by his natural aristocratic thoughts. Jia Xu was born in poverty and had nothing. He was able to sit in the seat of Cao Wei Fu by his own ingenuity. He may have seen Sima Yi's ambition long ago, but he was weak and had no background, so he chose to play the fool and be fully distracted. Look at them, they are not the same generation at all. With Jia Xu's insight, he could not fail to see Sima Yi's ambitions and ideas.
grandfather's uncle, a Sima Yi family, has always been a noble family from the beginning, and his father was also an official in Jing Zhaoyin. Sima Yi and his seven brothers are called "Sima Bada". Although Sima Yi was born in troubled times, he was worried about the country and the people. I think his thoughts may be related to his birth. If Jia Xu is as noble as his birth, he will never be content with the ordinary.
Jia Xu's children are married to ordinary families, unlike Sima Yi's children who are all princes. Sima Yi must be ambitious, but the time is not up. For the two of them, it can only be said that one's fate is largely confined to their birth. Who's better, Guo Jia or Sima Yi?
If there's another contemporary genius who can't be ignored, it's Guo Jia. So who is better, Guo Jia or Sima Yi? Next, I will introduce Guo Jia and Sima Yi in detail.

Guo Jia, born in 17, was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, but later he joined Cao Cao, and repeatedly offered strange strategies. Jealous of talents, he was only 38 years old when he died. Cao Cao spoke highly of him, calling him Qizuo, and historical records recorded him as a contemporary wizard. This is a man who cares about the world and wants to make meritorious deeds. He has a vision since he was a child. When he saw the chaos in the world, he wanted to show his ambition. He began to go to Yuan Shao, but after careful observation and contact, he found that Yuan Shao could not connect with him. Later, his good friend recommended him to Cao Cao, and they exchanged rings with each other, so they decided that Cao Cao was the right person he was looking for, and Cao Cao also decided that he could help him achieve great things. Two people appreciate each other, also prove that each other's choice is correct.
In contrast, Sima Yi didn't take refuge in Cao Cao at first. There is an indescribable gap between him and Cao Cao. No matter how well he did and how sincerely he behaved, Cao Cao never believed him. Facts have proved that Cao Cao's knowledge of people is very accurate. The only regret is that Cao did not expect his descendants to be short-lived, and he gave away his hard-earned Jiangshan in vain. The world's judgments on this are also mixed. Sima Yi was brave and resourceful, and forbeared. It was only after Cao * * * that he began to exert his talents. Although Cao Shi has always been taboo about Sima Yi, but they are inseparable from his assistance. Prove that Sima Yi's talent and prestige are very high.
If Guo Jia lived long, Sima Yi would have no chance. Guo Jia died, and Sima Yi should be happy. It can only be said that Sima Yi has this life. Sima Yi's ambition
Sima Yi has achieved good political achievements all his life, but what is his ambition? I think Sima Yi was ambitious from the beginning, and he didn't want to be inferior to others. The first time Cao Cao went to see him, he pretended to be ill. In fact, he disliked what Cao Cao asked him to do. At that time, the luck of the Han Dynasty was exhausted, and Cao Cao was still working for the Han Dynasty in name. Of course, Sima Yi despises this small kindness, but he can't offend Cao Cao. He knows that he can't refuse directly, so he just pretends to be sick.

If both sides don't offend, this is called living freely and doing what you like. He is very clever and good at weighing the pros and cons. In his mind, he is not a nobody. You Cao Cao still works for the Han Dynasty. It is even more boring for me to work for Cao Cao again. Later, Cao Cao came hard, and he had no choice but to hang out with him, but he followed the Lord. He won the trust of Cao Cao's son, and approached the Cao Wei Dynasty step by step until he became a minister of Fuzheng, killing Cao Shuang. From then on, the Wei State was above ten thousand people under one person. He finally stood in such a position. He never forgot his ambition. In that troubled times, what he wanted was to unify the whole country, but he paved the road and let his children and grandchildren finish it. He retired after success.
From the moment Cao Cao saw him, he felt that Sima Yi was not the thing in the pool, so he told his son to be careful. Sima Yi was smart because he coaxed the prince, but Cao Cao couldn't help it, but he kept his ambition hidden and worked hard under Cao Cao's nose. I think he also cares about the world. After all, he has done a lot of good measures for the people in Wei. I think Sima Yi's ideal is to help one country and finally pacify the world. Sima Yi's Teacher
A clear statement about Sima Yi's teacher is Hu Zhao, whose name is Kong Ming, a famous hermit and calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period. This man is completely unwilling to be an official. Yuan Shao asked him to be an official, but he declined. Cao Cao went to see him again, but he was better than Sima Yi in that he didn't pretend to be sick. He went, but he persuaded Cao Cao through his golden tongue and let him go home to farm, and the neighborhood relationship was particularly harmonious.
cartoon version of Hu Zhao
He is very famous. Everyone knows that he is a talented person. How famous is he? People, whether imperial or rebellious, left him alone and took care of the hermit. Hu Zhao belongs to that kind of master in the mountains, and is well known to all women and children. After all, the imperial court still couldn't sit still and called him to be an official. This time, it was the wish of the people. He died in two years, so naturally he didn't have to be an official.
His obvious contact with Sima Yi was when Sima Yi was in danger, and he went to save him. It is said that the kidnapper of Sima Yi at that time was Zhou Sheng, who refused to let him go. As a result, Hu Zhao actually cried. According to historical records, crying moved people. It can be seen that this Hu Zhao is indeed a master, Cao Cao can also be persuaded by him to let him go to the mountains, and the kidnappers can also be persuaded by him to let him go. This person's EQ should be very high. In addition, his handwriting is also very good, and he is good at official script, which is as famous as Zhong You, Han Danchun, Wei Ji and Wei Dan. It can be seen from Hu Zhao's behavior that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, very talented but not arrogant. It was around that time that Sima Yi learned something from Hu Zhao. After all, Sima Yi was still very young at that time, and Hu Zhao should teach by example more or less, which gave Sima Yi some influence.
