Sima Yi is so powerful, why was he always buried in the early days?

Sima Yi is a very powerful person. In his early years, it was not because he was always buried, but because he was cautious and never showed his edge. He had been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for someone to let him shine. Time to soar.

Sima Yi was recruited by Cao Cao when he was 30 years old. Later, Sima Yi did not participate in the Battle of Chibi and several other battles. In fact, it was not because he was young, but mainly because 7 years ago , when Cao Cao went to recruit Sima Yi for the first time, Sima Yi was only 23 years old at that time. Cao Cao heard that Sima Yi was very talented, so he went to recruit him. At that time, Sima Yi pretended to be sick and was unwilling to go out and stayed at home. It took 7 years to help Cao Cao.

So it’s not that Sima Yi was buried, but that he didn’t want to stand out. If he wanted to make contributions, when Cao Cao recruited him for the first time, he was still an ordinary warlord in Cao Cao’s eyes. When the time comes, he will go to Cao Cao to make contributions. Sima Yi has always been a cautious person, and he is very good at waiting. Therefore, before the Gaoping Ling Incident, in order to wait for the best time and to paralyze Cao Shuang, he even pretended to be ill for two years.

When Cao Cao recruited him, he never went there. He was just watching the situation. He waited until Yuan Shao's power was wiped out before joining Cao Cao. And until Cao Cao died of illness, he did not serve Cao Cao. What big things he did, he only made some suggestions and spoke actively, so he had no chance of promotion at the beginning. Cao Cao himself was very suspicious of Sima Yi, so when Cao Cao died later, he asked his son to kill Sima Yi. At that time, Sima Yi avoided the disaster of killing because of pretending to be ill, and Sima Yi's ultimate goal was nothing else but the possession of the Cao family. rights.
