Quote: Sima Yi was an outstanding figure in the Three Kingdoms period. The theory of wisdom is not under Cao Cao, nor is the use of people under Cao Cao. But why is Sima Yi so afraid of Cao Cao and rebelled only thirty years after Cao Cao's death? This starts with a dream of Cao Cao.
First Strange Dream
Saying that one night before Guandu, Cao Cao had a strange dream in which three horses were eating in a trough, and in a short while, all the fodder in the manger was eaten up. After waking up from the dream, Cao Cao was in a cold sweat. If
is an ordinary person, he would not care about it at all, but Cao Cao was suspicious and in a special position, he would not let go of anything that was not good for him, even if it was a dream.
Cao Cao thinks this dream is unusual. Doesn't the groove allude to the Cao family? Is Sanma Food Trough three people surnamed Ma who want to replace his rule? So who else would be a threat to him?
At this time, Sima Yi and his son had not yet reached the climate, so Cao Cao thought about it and thought it was Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai from Xiliang. Although Yuan Shao was the most powerful at the time, Ma Teng of Xiliang should not be underestimated.
Xiliang is in today's Gansu area. The local people are nomads. They grew up from snacks, people are tall and strong, strong and brave. At that time, Dong Zhuo relied on the Xiliang Army to make the world restless, and the 18th-Road princes crusade against Dong Zhuo also returned without success.
Cao Cao was also a member of the crusade team, he didn't know how powerful the Xiliang army was. Now the Xiliang army is in the hands of Ma Teng, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai are both first-class fighters. If they rebel, it will be very tricky. It will even be like a dream scene. The three people work together to eat up their hard work. The foundation.
However, there is Yuan Shao in the north and Sun Wu in the south. If you attack Xiliang at this time, you will be in danger. So he accepted the adviser's suggestion, first take Yuan Shao, then go to Soochow, and finally it is not easy to pack a Xiliang.
But unexpectedly, the subsequent defeat of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had to stick to the north.
At this time, the world pattern has undergone tremendous changes. Yizhou was occupied by Liu Bei, and Dongwu relied on the victory of Chibi. If Liangzhou continues to grow and develop at this time, then Cao Cao will be attacked on three sides. So Cao Cao decided to attack the Xiliang Army.
Soon Ma Teng was booby-trapped, Ma Chao and Ma Dai surrendered to Liu Bei, and Cao Cao finally let go of his heart.
What Cao Cao didn't know was that the real three horses gradually emerged, and that was the three horses of the Sima family, and Sima Yi was the first to bear the brunt.
The fear of Sima Yi
Sima Yi is an extreme person. If he is mad, he is surprisingly mad. Historical records show that Sima Yi was extremely arrogant in his youth. But if it is weak, it is like a mouse holding its head. The most famous one is "Dead Zhuge scares away living Sima".
The reason why Sima Yi later became fearful was that he was completely forced by current events. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of Cao Cao.
As everyone knows, Sima Yi has practiced Confucianism since he was a child, especially in respect of etiquette. However, Cao Cao ruled the world with legalism and made a big rebellion of "holding the emperor". This not only made Sima Yi very disdainful when he was young, but also scared Sima Yi. One of
is a scholar and the other is a hero. Which is strong and weak is clear at a glance.
But this is just the beginning.
After that, Cao Cao took a fancy to Sima Yi's talents and recruited him many times, but for Sima Yi, he was really afraid of what would come, so he either pretended to be sick or found other reasons to evade.
and Cao Cao seemed to be happy, with an attitude of not giving up. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and killed Yuan Shao Qiwan,
came to conquer Sima Yi.
At this time, Sima Yi is really a little scared. Cao Cao has always been a man who played cards out of common sense. If Yuan Shao’s 70,000 soldiers were smashed, it is understandable that the massacre of 100,000 innocent people in Xuzhou would be bloody madness. . If I continue to insist, I don't know how Cao Cao will treat himself and his people.
In desperation, he bit his head and joined Cao Cao's camp.
Sima Yi at this time is not so much afraid of Cao Cao's rights, as he is afraid of Cao Cao's fierce behavior.
However, although Sima joined Cao Cao's camp, he has always "lowered his head when it is time to bow" and never showed his edge. Because of this, even the old and cunning Cao Cao has no defense against him.If it hadn't been for Cao Cao to have another weird dream in his later years, perhaps he would have been overtaken by Sima Yi.
Strange dreams re-emerged.
is strange. In his later years, Cao Cao had another strange dream of "three horses in the same slot", but at this time Ma Teng and his son have gone second, leaving only Ma Dai who is like a bereaved dog. , Is not enough to be afraid.
Cao Cao, who had no scruples, suddenly became nervous and had to re-examine the people with "horse" in the name of the world. And there is no more capable "Three Horses" in the world than the Sima Yi father and son beside him.
At this time, Sima Yi was not only an important adviser to Cao Pi, the heir to the King of Wei, but also made great contributions when Cao Pi fought for the heir. It can be said that Sima Yi has already gained fame and prestige among scholar-officials. His two sons-Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are also outstanding. This made Cao Cao realize that "three horses" refers to Sima Yi and his son, not Ma Teng and his son.
However, it seems inappropriate to kill courtiers based on a strange dream. In addition, Sima Yi is usually cautious and does not have any handle. The court is also just in the use of people. It must not be rushed to kill the Sima family. Therefore, Cao Cao also committed a momentary difficulty. .
But if this person is not removed, Cao Cao still can't feel at ease. For this reason, Cao Cao began to devise a plan to eradicate the Sima family. Even if it could not be killed, it would at least play a role of checks and balances.
Cao Cao's plan is roughly divided into two aspects. The first is to vigorously support Cao Shuang and others. The second is the "inland migration of Hu people." As long as one of the two plans succeeds, Sima Yi's generation is not to be afraid.
Sima Yi is clever. Cao Cao's attitude suddenly changed. He had guessed 80 to 90%, presumably he was about to follow in the footsteps of Ma Teng and his son.
However, Cao Cao left his hands after only half of the two plans were implemented. In desperation, Cao Cao warned Cao Pi before he died, that Sima Yi had outstanding ability and ambitious, so he must be guarded against him and he should not be allowed to dominate.
After Cao Cao passed away, some people were really happy and worried, but Sima Yi did not dare to come forward at this time. Although Cao Cao was dead, Yu Wei was still alive. At this time, Cao Cao must die without being buried. The various obstacles that Zhimeng specially arranged for Sima Yi, Sima Yi had no choice but to dormant for 30 years before daring to rebel.
Everything is because of a dream of Cao Cao, a dream that has scared Sima Yi for 30 years.
Summary
Sima Yi finally got his wish. He seized the world of the Cao family, slayed Dongwu and went to Xishu, and became the one who had the last laugh. But what he could not think of was that the two plans that Cao Cao laid out before his death had succeeded, and that was the "Human Relocation" plan.
The "Hu People's Inland Migration" plan not only quickly divided Sima's Jin dynasty, it was even so serious that it was annihilated. It has to be said that Cao Cao was really fierce, and it's no wonder Sima Yi was afraid of him all his life.
