What is Sima Yi's nickname?

The ancients all had nicknames, which is what we often call "posthumous title". Today we will talk about Sima Yi's nickname. Sima Yi's nickname "Buried Tiger", which means "Tiger crouching in the grave", is daunting. However, everything has its vanquisher. In the era of Cao Cao, the prodigy Sima Yi failed to make a breakthrough under the suppression of Cao Cao. After Cao Cao's death, Sima Yi's disloyalty was slowly revealed.

Poor Three Kingdoms "war", poor Cao Cao, fought again and again, only to find that Sima Yi was finally married and the great cause of reunifying the Three Kingdoms was finally completed by Sima Yi. This is a miracle. Imagine that in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu was sworn in Taoyuan and defeated Chibi, and Zhuge Liang had a plan, how could he think that Sima Yi would launch a coup in his later years and take over the "Jiangshan" of Cao Wei after serving four generations of monarchs under Cao Cao?

According to unofficial history's records, Cao Cao heard that Sima Yi had the appearance of a wolf and planned to verify it. Once he deliberately let Sima Yi go ahead, and then he deliberately called Sima Yi, only to see Sima Yi motionless, just turning his head and looking back, and the appearance of "Wolf Gu" was undoubtedly exposed.

In fact, Cao Cao once had a nightmare. Three horses are eating in the same trough. After waking up, Cao Cao called Cao Pi and said, "Sima Yi will not be a minister and will interfere in your internal affairs in the future." This was also called "Sanma in the same slot" by later generations, implying that Sima Shi wanted to eat Cao Shi, but it was interpreted as Sima Yi and Sima Shi, which created favorable conditions for replacing Wei.

Speaking of Sima Yi, it is really not easy. He can save his life in front of Cao Cao, a suspicious monarch, develop his own ability and cultivate his own strength silently. He really has an unusual advantage. It is not difficult to see how ambitious Sima Yi is from his nickname.

Then, as a suspicious Cao Cao, how can he tolerate this ambitious Sima Yi?

Sima Yi and Cao Pi

It can be said that in order to save his life and develop himself better, Sima Yi defended Cao Pi's interests everywhere after seeing that Cao Pi was going to inherit Cao, and even developed into Cao Pi's closest friend. In serving Cao Cao, he even forgot to eat and sleep, and even did small things like feeding horses himself, which finally reassured Cao Cao.

However, after the death of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, the "Heart of Sima Yi" has been known to all.
