Zhuge Liang (181-23410-8), born in Yang Du, Xuzhou (now yinan county, Linyi, Shandong), was an outstanding politician, strategist and diplomat. In his early years, he went to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang cultivated in Longzhong. [3-5] After Liu Bei visited the Caotang, he was invited to help Liu Bei establish Shu Han.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of China's four classical novels. Most people who have seen it think that Sima Yi is Zhuge Liang's defeated army. Actually, it's not like this. Anyone who has read it knows that Zhuge Liang is better than Sima Yi in both the art of war and wisdom. Zhuge Liang's empty plan made Sima Yi retreat three miles. After Zhuge Liang's death, Zhuge Liang made the soldiers make a fake body double, which could scare away Sima Yi's 100,000 soldiers. It is said that Zhuge Liang's cattle people often failed in the northern expedition, and the northern expedition did not succeed.
People have different views on Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. Some people say that Zhuge Liang is afraid of Sima Yi. Next, I will introduce in detail why Zhuge Liang is afraid of Sima Yi.
Zhuge Liang is not so much afraid of Sima Yi as jealous of each other. They are the same age and have their own owners. Kongming is loyal to Sima, but Zhong Da has the heart of stealing the country.
If you really want to be afraid, it is that after Zhuge Liang's death, no one in Shu can stop Sima Yi. If Sima Yi goes to join the army, Shu will be defeated. This is because the strength of Shu is weak. If Zhuge Liang does not spare no effort for Shu, Shu will soon be annexed. Honest people must be afraid of eccentric people. Sima yi can endure for so many years, and few people can. Generally, such people are either plain as water or ambitious, and Sima Yi is the latter.
In the final confrontation between the two of them, it can be seen that Kong Ming was exhausted, and Kong Ming even humiliated Sima Yi by abusive means, but Sima Yi just didn't fight. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has nothing to do with Sima Yi.
Why can't Zhuge Liang beat Sima Yi with such clever calculation? Does Sima Yi always keep Shu Han's army out of the country? In fact, it is these reasons:
The first point: Zhuge Liang's view of justice is full of justice and elegance. His strategy is mostly used in battlefield confrontation, and his mind is never on himself. In the "model", Zhuge Liang said: do your best and die. This sentence was never suddenly thought of by myself, but was received by Cao Cao's "I would rather lose the world than be unwilling."
The second point: Zhuge Liang owes Liu Bei, which can be said that the grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring. No matter in ordinary life or in war, he puts gratitude first, which is a great event. This is a lot of pressure. On the contrary, Sima Yi always wanted to master military power. With military power, he has everything. Sima Yi has mastered the military power all his life.
The third point: As mentioned above, Zhuge Liang was influenced by the orthodox thoughts of the Han family, and everything was bound. This kind of thought is the divine right of the emperor, that is to say, everything has to be done at the command, so many unexpected opportunities have been missed, while Sima Yi is not ruled by living abroad and has no pressure to do things. Sima Yi's evaluation of Zhuge Liang is that he has a lot of strategies and dare not make his own decisions, which shows that he is ambitious.
Fourth point: Sima Yi is very scheming and shrewd, which Zhuge Liang can't do.
Fifth point: once Sima Yi's gate was not opened and there was no war, Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi a set of women's clothes. In this case, it seems that Sima Yi is a patient person. If Sima Yi gives Zhuge Aliang a set of women's clothes, it is another matter, and it must be swearing.
Now, Zhuge Liang is a gentleman and Sima Yi is a villain. Zhuge Liang's gentleman's northern expedition failed, but Sima Yi's villain's method defeated Zhuge Liang and became famous in one fell swoop. This is also the difference in temper and personality between the two.
