At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords fought in a melee. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, died in the battle. His soldiers and horses went their separate ways. His eldest son, Sun Ce, took only a few people to defect to Yuan Shu's men. Sun Ce made many military exploits for Yuan Shu, but he was never reused. Yuan Shu also knew that Sun Ce was a great person, but he was afraid that after being reused, Sun Ce would become promising and he would not be able to control him. Sun Ce thought that if he continued like this, he would have to be under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu for the rest of his life. It would be better to return to Jiangdong where his father had been. But how could he do it on his own? Suddenly I thought of a way. My father got the jade seal passed down from the palace in Luoyang back then. He still has it with him. He can use it to borrow some military horses from Yuan Shu.
The next day, Sun Ce came to Yuan Shu holding the imperial seal and said that his uncle was besieged by Liu Yao in Yangzhou. His mother, wife and children were all in the city, and he wanted to borrow an army and horses to rescue his family. I am now mortgaging the jade seal that my father received during his lifetime... Yuan Shu has wanted to get this jade seal for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be delivered to his door today. Needless to say, he was very happy. He took the jade seal, looked at it and said, I I don’t want it from you. I’ll put it here and keep it for you. I’ll return it to you as soon as you come back. After saying that, he immediately lent Sun Ce 3,000 soldiers and 500 horses. Sun Ce took these three thousand troops and found his father's former generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others, and walked towards his hometown. On the way, he met his young friend Zhou Yu, who was willing to help Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce arrived in Jiangdong, his power quickly became stronger. He quickly defeated Liu Yao and recovered many states and counties. When local civil and military heroes heard that Sun Ce was Sun Jian's son, they all worked for Sun Ce. Within a few months, all the prefectures and counties in Jiangdong were occupied. At this time, it was the time for Sun Ce to display his ambitions and achieve hegemony. Unexpectedly, he was shot by an assassin's poisonous arrow while hunting. He died of ineffective treatment at the age of 20. Before Sun Ce died, he called his younger brother Sun Quan and the civil and military officials to his bedside, took out the general's seal, handed it to Sun Quan and said, "Conquer the east and west, conquer cities and seize territory, you are no match for me; use talents and preserve the family business, I Not as good as you. From our ancestors to our generation, it has been difficult to open up this territory. You must consider the difficulties of your father's generation to start a business and keep this land well. Then he told all civil and military officials to help his brother, and after saying that, he passed away.
It is a pity that Sun Ce died young. If Sun Ce had not died and occupied Jiangdong, his achievements would have been even more brilliant, and Sun Quan would not have spent so much effort.
We know that the Three Kingdoms period was an era where talents emerged in large numbers. The stories of many of them have been passed down through the ages, and even talking about them to this day will make people sigh with emotion. So among the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, who were the talents? Is his death very regrettable?
1. Wei - Guo Jia: There is a folk saying that Guo Jia will not die and Crouching Dragon will not come out. This sentence means that Guo Jia's talents can be compared with Zhuge Liang, but it does not mean to belittle Zhuge Liang. Guo Jia did not disappoint Cao Cao. His uncanny calculations and military capabilities were witnessed by everyone. Guo Jia's contribution to Cao Cao's pacification of the north was great. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to entrust his descendants to him, but unfortunately Guo Jiaying died young. From then on, Cao Cao's hegemony began to decline, and Cao Cao was in great pain because of Guo Jia's death.
2. Shu-Fazheng: During the Three Kingdoms period, if you mentioned the important officials of the Shu Han Dynasty, most people would think of Zhuge Liang. However, Fazheng played a very important role in Liu Bei’s psychology. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan and conquered Hanzhong in the north, At this time, Fa Zheng's ingenuity plays a vital role. At this time, Fazheng was Liu Bei's important adviser. Unfortunately, Fazheng died of illness just as Liu Bei's hegemony began to rise. Liu Bei cried for several days. During the battle of Yiling, Zhuge Liang once lamented that if Fazheng was still filial and upright, he would definitely He was able to prevent the Lord from going to the east, but Liu Bei was defeated.
3. Wu - Lu Xun: Lu Xun's contribution to Soochow is well known. He followed Lu Meng to sneak attack on Jingzhou, defeated Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling, and defeated Cao Xiu in the Battle of Shiting. All the achievements of the Wanwei army are vividly remembered. Lu Xun had strong military ability, but in his later years he was involved in the struggle for the right of succession between Sun He and Sun Ba. He was always scolded by Sun Quan. As a result, Lu Xun died in depression. Lu Xun's death was really It's a pity.
The Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, and human lives were like grass and grass. War disasters and plagues meant that many feudal lords in one of the separate kingdoms could not live long, let alone the common people. Every time I watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are always a few people whose deaths make people sigh and sigh. Using history as a guide, I will share the three deaths that I think are the most regrettable, and let's see who can bear the most responsibility!
3. Chen Gong
Chen Gong is upright and resourceful. When the world is about to be in chaos, he is optimistic about Cao Cao, and he was once regarded as a confidant by Cao Cao. It is also mentioned in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Chen Gong released Cao Cao privately and was Cao Cao's savior.
Unfortunately, what Cao Cao did later made Chen Gong feel heartbroken. (In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family, but historically it was Cao Cao who killed the famous scholar Bian Rang.) Cao Cao prepared to attack Tao Qian to avenge his father, and asked his friend Zhang Miao and confidant Chen Gong to stay at the base camp.
So Chen Gong took advantage of Cao Cao's outing and persuaded Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao and others launched a rebellion together and gave Yanzhou, Cao Cao's base camp, to Lu Bu.
Unfortunately, although Lu Bu was brave and Chen Gong was resourceful, he was no match for Cao Cao, and he ended up with the White Gate Tower as the leader.
Although Cao Cao killed Zhang Miao's family and Lu Bu, he still wanted to take Chen Gong for his own use. Unfortunately, Chen Gong was determined not to surrender, so Cao Cao fulfilled Chen Gong's name of loyalty. , to support Chen Gong’s family.
Taking history as a guide, we believe that Chen Gong was an upright and resourceful man. Unfortunately, he could conquer the world with Cao Cao, but in the end they parted ways and became life and death enemies, and finally died at the hands of Cao Cao. It was a pity.
2. Hua Tuo
The miracle doctor Hua Tuo was greatly mythologized in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He scraped bones to treat poisons, performed craniotomy, etc. In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, Hua Tuo wreaked havoc on Wei, Shu, and Wu. The various plagues in the Three Kingdoms were the most terrifying diseases at that time. Five of the Seven Sons of Jian'an and Sima Yi's eldest brother Sima Lang were clearly recorded as having died from the plague. Even Lu Su and others from Soochow were most likely to have died from the plague at that time. .
Although miraculous doctors such as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing did not have a cure for the plague in troubled times, miraculous doctors were still very popular among aristocratic officials.
The miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing was the governor of Changsha at that time, with a high social status and a good reputation. Although Hua Tuo was a miraculous doctor, he unfortunately did not have official status and could only follow Cao Cao as Cao Cao's health doctor.
Cao Cao also had an attitude towards Hua Tuo that he would come and go as soon as he was called. This attitude was of course very unpleasant to the proud and arrogant Hua Tuo. So Hua Tuo often asked for leave. Today he said that his mother was sick and he wanted to see her, and a few days later he said that his wife was sick and that he wanted to see her.
As a result, Cao Cao suffered from a severe headache. When he went to find Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo was not there, so he sent someone to quickly find Hua Tuo. As a result, Cao Cao happened to catch up with Hua Tuo and lied that his wife was sick, so he went to find Hua Tuo. When people saw it, they saw that Hua Tuo and his family were having a good time, and they suddenly became disloyal.
So Cao Cao was furious and put Hua Tuo in prison.
After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao also regretted it. According to historical records, Cao Cao's favorite youngest son, Cao Chong, died young. Cao Cao sighed and said: If Hua Tuo was still here, Cao Chong wouldn't have died so early. He died young.
Taking history as a guide, it can be said that it is a great pity that such a miracle doctor finally died at the hands of Cao Cao.
1. Cai Yong
Cai Yong can be said to be the most famous literati in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. First, Cai Yong was the most famous calligrapher, writer, and musician at that time; Secondly, Cai Yong gave birth to a talented woman who was more famous than him - Cai Wenji.
Cai Yong had a troubled life and his official career was not smooth, but he had a high reputation among the people. When Dong Zhuo usurped the throne, Cai Yong was forcibly recruited to the court as Dong Zhuo's mascot. Express Dong Zhuo's love for famous scholars and great scholars.
Cai Yong reached a peak in his life in front of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to reward him for the positions of serving the censor, managing the book, censor, minister, minister, and Zuo Zhonglang.
When Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and killed and imprisoned everyone who had some relationship with Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong just sighed when Wang Yun issued such an order. Wang Yun used an excuse to be imprisoned.
Cai Yong asked Wang Yun: Even if he gets a tattoo, he will only write books and stop talking about politics after he comes out.
Others also persuaded Wang Yun: Cai Yong is such a talented person, it would be great if he was released to write history books.
Wang Yun disagreed, and Cai Yong died in prison within a few days at the age of sixty.
When Cai Yong died, all the ministers and scholars cried for him. After Zheng Xuan, a famous Confucian scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heard the news of Cai Yong's death, he sighed: "Who will decide the affairs of the Han Dynasty!"
Cai Yong's achievements in culture, music, book collection, calligraphy, Confucian classics, etc. They were all leaders for a while, and what was rare was that Cai Yong also had excellent personal ethics. It can be said that he was a rare scholar with perfect character during the Three Kingdoms period.
Taking history as a mirror, what should the history of Han written by such a great and all-rounder be like based on his collection of books and experiences throughout his life? But being killed by Wang Yun was really the biggest regret in the late Han Dynasty.
Personally, I feel that it is a pity that two people in Shu Han died. If these two people are present, it is possible to change the direction of Shu Han's destiny. Even if they cannot dominate the world, they can at least become powerful. Zhuge Liang will not appear. During Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, the kind of talents, food, and troops were all missing. miserable situation. These two are both civil and military, and the literary one is the famous "Feng Chu" Pang Tong. The military one is not well-known, but he played a key role in Liu Bei's capture of Shu.
Pang Tong.
Pang Tong, who is as famous as Zhuge Liang, said that Wolong and Phoenix alone can conquer the world. Although it is exaggerated and flattering, it also illustrates the talents of the two from the side, and they are comprehensive. Talent combines strategic planning, military strategy, country governance, critical thinking and eloquence, etc. Pang Tong entered Liu Bei's camp, and his most important achievement was to help Liu Bei capture Shuzhong. At that time, Liu Bei was invited to join Shu to help Liu Zhang fight against Zhang Lu, and his troops had already arrived at Jiameng Pass. Pang Tong then came up with three strategies. The best strategy was to directly select elite troops and capture Chengdu in one fell swoop. The central strategy is to kill Yang Huai and Gao Pei, unite their troops, and then advance from Jiameng Pass to Chengdu. The next best option is to retreat to Baidi, use Jingzhou as backup, and set up camp step by step. Liu Bei then chose the middle strategy and attacked Chengdu from Jiameng Pass. These three strategies all make sense, and winning Chengdu is only a matter of time. Especially the best strategy, which has quick results and may pay the least cost, because Liu Zhang had already lost his authority in Shu, and only Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Meng Da surrendered, Liu Bei launched an attack, and Wang Lian, the prefect of Zitong, watched the battle behind closed doors, and Li Yan and others also took advantage of the situation to surrender, etc. It can be seen that the best policy is completely conditional.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei believed that his kindness and power were not established, so he chose the middle strategy. Therefore, Liu Bei killed General Yang Gao and captured the Baishui Army. The march went smoothly until it was not until Chengdu's last line of defense, Luocheng, that he understood the difficulty of the middle strategy. Liu Bei laid siege for nearly a year, and even sacrificed himself due to Pang Tong's arrows before he captured Luocheng. Due to Pang Tong's sacrifice, Liu Bei could only mobilize Zhuge Liang and lead Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and others into Shu to support. After that, Zhuge Liang stayed in Chengdu to govern. But only Guan Yu was left in Jingzhou, and he lacked the planning of counselors, resulting in loss. If there were Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, one in Chengdu and the other in Jingzhou, at least Jiangling would not be lost, and the family members of Guan Yujun would not fall into the hands of Soochow. Therefore, Guan Yu would only be defeated once, and he would not lose the lives of his troops.
In addition, it is a pity that Zhang Song was executed and Fazheng died prematurely.
Huo Jun.
Huo Jun was a member of a wealthy family in Nanjun, Jingzhou, commanding hundreds of family armed forces. After Liu Biao's death, he defected to Liu Bei. If Huo Jun had lived a few more years, the prefect of Hanzhong would no longer be Wei Yan, and Huo Jun would have become even more outstanding in the Shu-Han camp. And Wei Yan is naturally not bad, and can be used for other purposes. Of course, Wei Yan may still be the governor of Hanzhong, and Huo Jun may be assigned back to Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu in guarding against Soochow. Because Huo Jun is not only from Jingzhou, but his defensive ability is not comparable to that of Mi Zhu, Fu Shiren and others, and more importantly, Huo Jun's loyalty.
Liu Bei "betrayed" Liu Zhang. Jiameng Pass is equivalent to Liu Bei's only base in Shu. If it is lost, Liu Bei's army will be in danger. Therefore, Liu Bei left Huo Jun and hundreds of soldiers to guard the area while he led the main force to advance towards Chengdu. As a result, after Liu Bei set out, Zhang Lu sent people to lure Huo Jun to surrender, but Huo Jun sternly refused.
If Jiameng falls into Zhang Lu's hands, Liu Bei will immediately be attacked from both sides. Later, in order to break the siege, Liu Zhang sent Fujun and Xiangcun led more than 10,000 people to attack Jiameng Pass by water. Unexpectedly, Huo Jun's few hundred men actually defended the city for a year, which shows Huo Jun's military talent. Next, it was even more exciting. Xiang Cun could not attack Xiang Cun for a long time and started to slack off. Huo Jun suddenly attacked and defeated Liu Zhang's army and beheaded Xiang Cun. The author believes that this battle was more brilliant than Zhu Ran's defense of Jiangling in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Although Cao Wei's army was obviously stronger, Zhu Ran still had thousands of people, plus reinforcements such as Zhuge Jin from the periphery. Huo Jun was fighting alone, still in his opponent's territory, with no backup.
After Liu Bei captured Shuzhong, he asked Huo Jun to guard the Zitong defense area. This area included Jiange, Jiangyou and other places, and directly bordered Hanzhong Zhanglu. It can be seen that after Liu Bei captures Hanzhong, Huo Jun is most likely to be the candidate to guard Hanzhong. Secondly, he may also be sent back to Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu and guard against Sun Quan, because Soochow has begun to press for Jingzhou. No matter where Huo Jun is placed, it will definitely change Shu Han's defense pattern to some extent, and the impact will be positive. It's a pity that in the year when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Huo Jun died of illness. Liu Bei felt very sorry for him. He personally led his ministers to pay homage and even stayed in front of the tomb.
It is worth mentioning that Huo Jun's son Huo Ge was also a rare famous general in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
Good question.
I think it is most regrettable that Sun Ce died young.
Sun Ce was a generation of princes who separatized Jiangdong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was one of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty and the founder of the Soochow regime. He was highly skilled in martial arts and was nicknamed the "Little Overlord".
Next, I will explain my point of view from the perspective of Sun Ce's military achievements and political achievements.
Sun Ce became famous at a young age. When he was a teenager, he made friends with celebrities. From then on, he became famous and the upper class figures in society came to make friends with him.
After Sun Jian's death, he defected to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu gave Sun Ce an important position. His political transparency and clear distinction between rewards and punishments won Yuan Shu's appreciation. Later, he captured Lujiang County in the Battle of Lujiang. After Yuan Shu became emperor, he turned against Yuan Shu and attacked Yuan Shu in the name of "rebellious general".
In the second year of Xingping, Sun Ce, with the support of Zhou Yu and others, crossed the Yangtze River from Liyang and planned to defeat Liu Yao and his other troops. Later, he recruited Liu Yao's troops who came to surrender. As a result, Sun Ce became powerful in Jiangdong.
After that, Sun Ce led his troops to continue attacking various places in Jiangdong. He led his troops across Zhejiang and approached Kuaiji. Sun Ce adopted the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, taking the enemy by surprise and attacking him unprepared, defeating Wang Lang and pacifying Kuaiji.
After a series of pacification battles, Sun Ce unified the six counties of Kuaiji, Wu County, Danyang, Yuzhang, and Lujiang. Sun Ce had strong soldiers and horses, and material wealth. He finally pacified Jiangdong by himself and established the Soochow regime. , truly became a prince. Sun Ce has achieved such achievements when he was only 20 years old, so he can be called a young hero.
After pacifying Jiangdong, Sun Ce was good at persuading people, recruiting talents, and formulating a series of strategies. This laid a solid foundation for the future development of Jiangdong and enabled Soochow to gain a foothold in Shu and Wei and compete with them. .
Before he died, he passed his position to his younger brother Sun Quan, which shows that Sun Ce was a sensible and far-sighted person.
To sum up, Sun Ce was an outstanding military strategist, politician, and even an outstanding leader. He made great contributions to the great cause of Soochow and had a profound influence.
Unfortunately, he died young. If this were not the case, the situation in the world might not be divided into three parts. With Sun Ce's military capabilities and political power, he would definitely be able to dominate the situation at that time, and the situation in the world would definitely change.
I would say that the most unfortunate person to die in the Three Kingdoms was Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui. Some people may laugh and say that it is a pity for an emperor to die normally, but Cao Rui's untimely death directly led to The Chinese nation has fallen into a catastrophe. If he had lived another twenty years, it would have been impossible for the Sima family to usurp the throne, the Wei Dynasty would have been able to unify the country, and the tragedy of the Five Husbands' chaos in China might have been avoided. You say it's a pity, but it's not a pity.
Cao Rui is a rare Ming Dynasty emperor in the Three Kingdoms. After Cao Pi succeeded the Han Dynasty and established the Wei Kingdom, the only famous emperors in the Three Kingdoms were Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui. Liu Bei died early, and Sun Quan died thirteen years after Cao Rui's death. Cao Pi's talents are not as good as Cao Rui's. Cao Rui was only thirty-five years old when he died, which was the period of his youth. Ten years after his death, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping Ling coup. Thirteen years after his death, Sima Yi died. Fourteen years after his death, Sun Quan died. Twenty-six years after his death, Sima Yandai Wei established the Western Jin Dynasty. Therefore, it is said that Cao Rui lived twenty years longer and was fifty-five years old. Sima Yi and Sun Quan died earlier. He lived thirty years longer and was sixty-five years old, which is the same life span as Cao Cao.
Cao Rui was only twenty-two years old when he became emperor. He was very smart since he was a child and had a photographic memory. He was deeply loved by Cao Cao and often took him with him. He once said, "With you, my family's foundation will be improved." It can be inherited for three generations."
As soon as Cao Rui became emperor, Sun Quan led his army to attack Jiangxia. Wenpin, the governor of Jiangxia, held firm. The ministers discussed sending troops to support. Cao Rui believed that Soochow was good at naval warfare, but this time it was not. Attacking with an army will not last long. Sure enough, Sun Quan could not attack for a long time and finally retreated. Then Dongwu general Zhuge Jin led his army to attack Xiangyang. Cao Rui sent Fujun General Sima Yi and Zhengdong General Cao Xiu to attack, and the Wu army was defeated. In the same year, he suppressed the rebellions of Qu Ying of Xiping County and Meng Da, the prefect of Xincheng.
The next year, Zhuge Liang began his first Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. The momentum was fierce. The three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding all rebelled against Wei. The courtiers were so frightened that they could do nothing. However, Cao Rui said: "Zhuge Liang could have relied on Shanyue is entrenched, but now he takes the initiative to attack, and he is greedy for the three counties. He only knows how to attack but not to retreat, and he will definitely be defeated." So he sent Cao Zhen, Zhang He and others to lead 50,000 troops to resist the enemy, and went to Chang'an to suppress the enemy. As a result, Ma Di was defeated by Zhang He in Jieting, Zhuge Liang was forced to retreat back to Hanzhong, and Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding counties were regained.
When Cao Pi died, he left four ministers to Cao Rui, namely Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, and Sima Yi. These four were in charge of the military and political power of the dynasty. Although Cao Rui was only twenty-two years old and did not have much power in his hands, he took advantage of the opportunity of foreign enemies to attack and sent Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Sima Yi to the border to lead troops. Only one civil servant, Chen Qun, was left in Luoyang and successfully recovered Power, to achieve monopoly of power.
During the thirteen years that Cao Rui was in power, Chenggong resisted Zhuge Liang's six Northern Expeditions and exhausted Zhuge Liang to death. He also defeated Sun Quan and reformed Hefei many times, put down the rebellion of Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and assassinated Shanyu of Xianbei. Politically, he revised new laws and reduced capital crimes. He was broad-minded and rigorous in handling political affairs and was good at accepting advice. Economically, we should focus on agriculture and hibiscus and carry out new farming. In terms of culture, he is known as the "Three Ancestors" together with Cao Cao and Cao Pi. He has high attainments in poetry and music. At the same time, we pay attention to the selection of talents, establish a literary outlook, and pay attention to literati.
The thirteen years that Cao Rui was in power were the thirteen years when Cao Wei's national power developed in an all-round way. The economy was restored, the population increased significantly, and the national power surpassed Soochow and Shu Han in an all-round way. This was the heyday of Wei.
Among Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui, Sima Yi is more afraid of Cao Rui. Cao Rui has political skills. Zhuge Liang broke up with Cao Rui and Sima Yi. Cao Rui did not believe it, but when Cao Rui went to Chang'an Weijun, Sima Yi led him A large group of people greeted him. Cao Rui frightened Sima Yi to the point of peeing with a few words, and then relieved him of his military power. In fact, during Zhuge Liang's first and second Northern Expeditions, Cao Rui sent Cao Zhen and Zhang He, not Sima Yi. It was just that Cao Zhen died early and Cao Rui had no one available, so he sent Sima Yi. Therefore, Sima Yi did not dare to launch a coup while Cao Rui was alive.
Cao Rui believed in a witch's potion and drank it frequently. This potion was most likely a chronic poison. When Cao Rui died, his teeth were black and his hair fell out, which was obviously a sign of poisoning. Several of Cao Rui's sons died in infancy, which was probably related to poisoning. The constant deaths of his sons prompted him to become silent about womanizing, speed up his physical decline, and finally died young at the age of thirty-five. He left his adopted son Cao Fang to take the throne. Ten years later, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping Ling coup. Twenty-six years later, Sima Yan usurped Wei and established Jin Dynasty.
Thousands of troops are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. As we said, a good "leading brother" has a crucial influence on a political power. During the Three Kingdoms period, among the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, each lost a super counselor, which had a profound impact on their respective countries.
NO3: Shu lost Pang Tong
Pang Tong was nicknamed "Feng Chu". He and Zhuge Liang, known as "Wolong", became famous inseparable from Sima Hui's vigorous publicity and recommendation. Sima Hui At that time, Hui published a shocking advertising slogan: Fulong and Fengxia, one can settle the world.
After Pang Tong came out, the boss he followed first was Sun Quan instead of Liu Bei. However, at that time, Sun Quan only valued Zhou Yu, so Pang Tong was not allowed to reuse him. Despite this, Pang Tong quickly gained a reputation in Soochow - "Wu people often heard of his name." Pang Tong was good at strategizing and dared to use dangerous tactics. Pang Tong's self-evaluation: Discuss the remaining strategies of the overlord and understand the key points of reliance. , I seem to have a day.
After the Battle of Chibi, Pang Tong chose to abandon the dark side and join the army of Liu Bei. Liu Bei admired Pang Tong's talent very much and regarded him as an important counselor in his army. He and Zhuge Liang were both military advisers.
Pang Tongde had unique insights into local wars and frequently came up with strange schemes. However, Liu Bei tended to be more conservative and stable when making war decisions, so he listened half to many of Pang Tong's strategies, believed half of them, and implemented them half and half. For example, Liu Bei only adopted the three strategies proposed by Pang Tong to capture the upper, middle and lower parts of Yizhou. Which counts.
Liu Bei did not use Pang Tong's clever tricks, but it took more twists and turns. After Pang Tong was shot and killed by an arrow in Luofengpo, Liu Bei finally captured Yizhou.
After Pang Tong's death, Liu Bei was very sad. The history book said: "The former master felt sorry for him and his words made him shed tears." This shows the importance of Pang Tong in Liu Bei's heart. Because the talents of the Shu Han were really scarce, only Zhuge Liang could be reused by Liu Bei before Pang Tong. But Zhuge Liang's internal affairs capabilities are obviously stronger than his military capabilities. Pang Tong just made up for Liu Bei's shortage of military advisers. This point can be seen from Zhuge Liang's plan to capture Jingzhou and Pang Tong's three strategies to capture Yizhou.
If Pang Tong does not die, Liu Bei's ending may be another situation. But considering that he was not recognized for his talent in his early years and became successful late, he can only be ranked third.
NO2: Wu loses Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu is a veteran figure of the Sun Wu Group. He holds a high position at a young age. He and Sun Quan's elder brother Sun Ce are brothers and are also close relatives. Brother-in-law. "If the song is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it." Zhou Yu should be the most elegant and handsome among the generals of the Three Kingdoms.
After Sun Ce died, Zhou Yu was the first to stand up and support Sun Ce with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Later, when Cao Cao went south, the whole of Soochow was in a bad mood. Except for a few people such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, all the officials in Soochow, including Zhang Zhao, wanted to surrender.
Zhou Yu's greatest contribution was to help Sun Quan and Liu Bei unite their armies, win the Battle of Chibi, defeat Cao's army, and establish a relatively stable political structure for the three-part world. Sun Quan's evaluation of Zhou Yu was: "Zhou Gongjin was heroic, courageous and capable, so he defeated Mengde and opened up Jingzhou, which was difficult for Miao to continue."
After defeating Cao Cao, Liu Bei took advantage of the opportunity to occupy most of Jingzhou. Zhou Yu saw Liu Bei's wolf ambition, so he proposed "dividing the world into two". He advocated separating Liu Bei from Guan and Zhang, and not allowing Liu Bei to own land for development. This was too vicious, and Sun Quan did not agree. Zhou Yu also suggested that he should take the lead. Go to capture Western Shu, then continue to annex Hanzhong, and then sweep across the north. This plan was approved by Sun Quan.
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (AD 210), when Zhou Yu, who was only 36 years old, was preparing to set out with his army, he suddenly fell ill and died. After Zhou Yu's death, no one in Jiangdong could take on this important task, and his grand plans were shelved.
After Zhou Yu's death, Soochow, which was stronger than Shu Han, basically never took the initiative to attack and expand externally, and it was destined to perish. It can be seen how much impact Zhou Yu's death had on Soochow.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu was portrayed as a narrow-minded and intolerant image, which is a pity. This is not the case at all.
After Zhou Yu died of illness, Sun Quan cried bitterly. If Zhou Yu had not died early, the history of the Three Kingdoms might have been rewritten!
NO1: Wei lost Guo Jia.
Cao Cao has a lineup of "luxurious counselors" such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, Jiang Ji, and Sima Yi.
But it was Guo Jia who Cao Cao valued and trusted the most.
Guo Jia initially served for Yuan Shao, but he saw that Yuan Shao was "tough, timid, and scheming", so he defected to Cao Cao. Guo Jia was good at military affairs and was known in history as "Sustainable Strategy". During the war between Yuan and Cao, Cao Cao was worried that Sun Ce would cause rebellion in the rear. But Guo Jia accurately predicted Sun Ce's fate. "Three Kingdoms" records: "The strategy is light and unprepared. Even if there are millions of people, it is no different than walking alone in the Central Plains. If an assassin ambush, one person can defeat him. From what I see, he will die at the hands of a common man." Sure enough, Sun Ce followed. Died at the hands of an assassin. Unless the assassin is sent by Guo Jia. Otherwise, Guo Jia is really too accurate in judging people.
Guo Jia made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification of the north. It can be said that without Guo Jia. It was difficult for Cao Cao to unify the north so smoothly. Moreover, Guo Jia also gave Cao Cao great encouragement and support during the war between Yuan and Cao. Guo Jia also wrote "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats". To outsiders, they only thought that he wrote this deliberately to flatter Cao Cao. In fact, Guo Jia used it to encourage Cao Cao to compete with Yuan Shao, because he understood that people The awareness is very important. Only when Cao Cao fights with a winning mentality can he really have a great chance of victory. Guo Jia also argued against all opinions and suggested that Cao Cao go on a personal expedition. Cao Cao accepted his suggestion and went out lightly, winning the Battle of Pingwuhuan, completely eliminating the Yuan family's power and unifying the north.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia cherish each other and know each other well. Cao Cao can basically accept Guo Jia's suggestions. With Guo Jia's planning and advice, Cao Cao captured Lu Bu, defeated Liu Bei, attacked Yuan Shao, and expedition to Wu. Huan almost never loses. It is said that when Cao Cao was confused, only Guo Jia could persuade him. The other counselors and soldiers only had a relationship with Cao Cao as a monarch and his ministers, but only Guo Jia was treated as a friend by Cao Cao.
However, Guo Jia died of illness on the way to conquer Wuwan, which was a great loss to Cao Cao. It can be said that if Guo Jia had not died early, Cao Cao would not have failed in the Battle of Chibi.
Therefore, after Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao, who had always shed only blood but not tears, cried loudly regardless of his image.
Although the saying "As long as Guo Jia does not die, Zhuge will not emerge" is passed down by later generations, we can still see that Guo Jia's "magical calculations" are indeed not inferior to Zhuge Liang's. If Guo Jia does not die, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao will conquer the world. If this is the case, of course there will be nothing wrong with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Pang Tong.
Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Guo Jia
In the past few months, I have been reading the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, one of the twenty-four histories, so I can't help but be a little excited when I see topics related to the Three Kingdoms. After reading this question, I will list a few talents who died unfortunately.
Shu, Zhang Fei
Zhang Yide, a Yan native, had the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men. Liu Bei's right-hand man, following Liu Bei through life and death. Liu Bei and Guan Yu are as close as brothers. At Changbanpo, he led more than 20 cavalry to block Cao Cao's thousands of troops. None of Cao's troops dared to fight with him, thus allowing Liu Bei and others to escape danger. Later, he participated in the battle against Liu Zhang, destroyed the city, and surrendered Yan Yan. Later, in Hanzhong, he defeated the famous Wei general Zhang He. It's a pity that Zhang Fei had a bad temper and was killed by his subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Qiang before Liu Bei prepared to attack Wu. It's a pity that a famous general died at the hands of a pawn.
Wu, Sun Ce
Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was almost invincible in the land of Jiangdong, and he was invincible, and he conquered a large area of ????the country for Sun Quan. It's a pity that he was rash and unprepared when he went out, and was killed by Xu Mercury's retainers. He was only 27 years old when he died, which can be said to be an untimely death.
Wei, Deng Ai and his son
Deng Ai was born into a poor family. He has a good understanding of farming, preparing grain and fodder, arranging troops, and leading troops to fight. Participate in many battles. Among them, the battle to destroy Shu can be called a classic battle, and he was the number one contributor to the destruction of Shu. However, he has a strong personality and has made great achievements but does not know how to avoid suspicion. As a result, he was falsely accused by a villain. Later, Deng Ai and his son Deng Zhong were killed by Tian Xu and others, and several of his other sons were also killed in Luoyang. His wife, grandchildren and others were exiled to the Western Regions. Deng Ai was loyal and brave throughout his life and never thought of treason. As a famous general, he was not wrapped in horse leather, but he was framed by villains.
The ones I listed above either died young or died tragically.
I think Deng Ai's death is the most regrettable. He never thought of rebellion, but he was killed by a bitch. Not only did he die, but several of his sons were also killed.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the situation was chaotic and heroes emerged in large numbers. Many of them died young and were regrettable. Among them are Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Ma Liang, Zhou Buyi, Pang Tong and Guo Jia. They were all famous civil servants and generals during the Three Kingdoms period. Among them, Sun Ce was the eldest brother of Sun Quan. He was killed by an assassin in a sneak attack. Zhou Yu followed Sun Ceping to Jiangdong when he was 21 years old. He cooperated with Liu Bei and led an army to attack Cao Cao. In the Battle of Chibi, he used Cao's army's weakness of not knowing water to defeat Cao's army, laying the foundation for the situation of "three parts of the world". Later, Zhou Yu proposed to conquer Jiangling, but he later became seriously ill and eventually died in Baqiu.
Guo Jia is Cao Cao’s counselor. He is far-sighted and low-key. He foresaw that the world would be in chaos, so he lived in seclusion in the countryside. Guo Jia first wanted to be loyal to Yuan Shao, but later turned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao unified the north because of his advice. When he first went to join Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao didn't take him seriously. At this time, one of Cao Cao's counselors passed away, and Guo Jia was a good friend of Xun Yu, so Guo Jia was introduced. After discussion, Cao Cao admired Guo Jia very much and entrusted him with important tasks. From then on, Guo Jia Cao Cao is very loyal. Later he died of overwork during the march.
