Three Kingdoms Strategy

1. Cao Cao is a "lovable traitor", which is reflected in his management and utilization of talents, employing people in an eclectic way, and grasping the big and letting go of the small. "The Romance" turned him into a "delinquent" due to the needs of the story. In fact, he was a young man with a strong sense of justice when he was young. "Zhi" records many stories of his fearlessness of power and impartial enforcement of the law in his youth. But he has some personality problems, he likes to play pranks, and he once stole other people's brides. He was so ugly that when the diplomatic envoy came, he found someone to pretend to be him to greet him (it is recorded in "Zhi"). He was considered a versatile man in both civil and military affairs and had written books, but it is a pity that they have not been handed down to this day. The historical contribution is great, and the record of Cao and his son in the Later Han Dynasty is also remarkable ("Book of the Later Han", "Wei Lue", "History of Chinese Culture"). The sons he raised were also the most outstanding. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both literary giants at that time. When it comes to hiring, we do not listen to one's will, but adopt the method of "public discussion" and "independent decision-making". In the end, the credit belongs to everyone, and the faults are all our own, which is a very generous expression. He was a great thinker, statesman, and military strategist.

As for Liu Bei, he must be regarded as a "hero who has repeatedly defeated and fought." "The Romance" made him "female", but he actually rarely cried. The "Zhi" records that he cried over Guan Yu and the defeat of Yiling. "Zhi" records that his appearance is good and that he has the appearance of a great man. This man is an out-and-out politician. Playing with power and winning people's hearts are his strengths. As the CEO of the Shu Kingdom, he is different from Cao Cao in that he has generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong to fight for him; in civil affairs, he has Zhuge and Fei Wei, the talented people of his generation, to help him with his calculations; in military affairs, he has the rule of law and justice. Ma Liang and other wizards. His greatest talent is managing people well. It is rare for a foreign political power to be as stable as his. When it comes to fighting, he is just an ordinary general. He has never won a big victory, so he can only kill bandits and bandits. However, it is true that this person is narrow-minded (recorded in "The Biography of the First Master"), and is too suspicious (much more suspicious than Cao Cao). For example, he didn't trust Zhuge Liang, but he didn't want to give up on talents, so he used them but didn't reuse them. It wasn't until he died that he had no one to rely on before he entrusted Zhuge with him (Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao were all dead). Even then, he still didn't trust him, so he assigned Zhuge a deputy, Li Yan. Besides, he didn't trust Zhao Yun either. Zhao Yun was a miscellaneous general until Liu Bei's death. Even if he saved Liu Chan. But because it is not a famous family, it is not reused.

2. Zhuge should not regard him as a military strategist. Even history evaluates him as a politician. And according to the records in "Zhi" and the explanation of teacher Yi Zhongtian, he should be a person who values ??power over power. All "official fans". After he killed Ma Su in Shijieting, he established an accountability system, and this was the first time he led troops to fight openly. In fact, he is still firmly in the army. As for the plots in the novels such as the burning of Bowang Slope, the burning of Xinye, borrowing arrows from straw boats, and the empty city plan, they are all fictitious. The most remarkable Battle of Chibi was commanded by Zhou Yu. He has never been in a war and is not the material for a war. "Proceeding with caution" has been his life style. Therefore, Liu Bei used Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to attack the four southern counties, Fazheng to defeat Zhang Lu, and Pang Tong to conquer Liu Zhang. Zhuge was never used. To be precise, in his later years (old age), in order to consolidate his political status, to change the front to the rear, and to divert public opinion and pressure, he had no choice but to fight. The result of the war was that he seemed to "give up halfway", but in fact he did not want to. He just used a Shu Han regime as a bet for his political extension, so he never failed during his lifetime, everything came from politics. (Mainly shown in Wei Yan’s Ziwu Valley Adventure)

3. Who is better than him? Do you want to participate in Lucky 52? That's probably no better than Yang Xiu. Haha, of course this is a joke. As historical figures, each of them has his own shining side, but they must not be used for comparison. Everyone has different aesthetics so they have their own preferences. I personally prefer Jia Xu. Let's talk about Jia Xu first, a military wizard (Cao Cao almost died), a political master, and a lifelong poverty. He is a role model for white-collar workers in today's companies. Guo Jia, a military prodigy, unfortunately was in poor health and died young. However, his style was very poor and his private life was disorderly, so he could not be considered a great talent (ancient employment standards). Sima, needless to say a real conspirator, knew how to advance and retreat, and laid the foundation for his heirs to achieve hegemony. He was far superior to Zhuge militarily, but politically he was not as good as Zhuge. Fortunately, his life was good, and Cao and his son successively It is destiny to die of illness. Finally, let’s talk about Zhuge, a politician, a famous strategist against Longzhong, but unfortunately his political line is not military. LZ compares them all as military counselors. I am afraid that the three are first and Zhuge is fourth.

The real military geniuses who can lead troops on the front line should belong to the following people: Zhou Yu (Chibi), Xun Yu (Guandu), Zhang Liao (Xiaoyaojin), Guan Yu (guarding Jingzhou), Lu Xun (Yiling), Lu Meng (Maicheng) . There were so many famous battles during the Three Kingdoms period. I'm afraid it's just a game of beast-fighting chess, where time and destiny are all mentioned in a joke.

Finally, I also hope there will be an official ranking (teacher Yi Zhongtian seems to be working on it). It would be great if we really had it. When I ask this question, someone next to me wouldn’t shout: Who is the best? Guo Degang!

Hope it is useful and happy Three Kingdoms!
