Cao Cao was a famous military strategist, statesman, and writer of the Three Kingdoms period, and a very remarkable hero. Perhaps Cao Cao is a treacherous minister in the eyes of the world, but in fact he has many shining points worth learning. In my opinion, Sima Yi is Cao Cao's number one fan, and he has been imitating Cao Cao for the rest of his life.
曹操
Speaking of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, they really have a lot in common. For example: They all come from the family of officials and have been involved in the struggle for power since they were young; they have all used to be powerful and powerful as ministers, and they all had the idea of being emperor, but in the end they didn't do it. But having said that, Sima Yi is really far inferior to Cao Cao. From these five angles, we can see the gap between Sima Yi and Cao Cao.
Military perspective
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Cao has experienced many battles. From starting from scratch, to asking for Dong Zhuo, punishing Yuan Shu, killing Lv Bu, collecting Zhang embroidery, exterminating Yuan Shao, conquering Wuhuan, conquering Jingzhou, winning more and losing less, the world of Wei was defeated by Cao Cao time and time again. During this process, Cao Cao experienced failures, encountered betrayals, struggled in difficulties, wandered between life and death, and eventually became the king of Wei respected by thousands.
Furthermore, Sima Yi, he is a counselor, and he has not experienced the storm like Cao Cao. The soldiers and horses were given to him by the State of Wei, and his history of warfare is also very glorious, assaulting Mengda, slaying Wang Ling, smashing Liaodong, and resisting Zhuge Liang. Summarize his history of war in one sentence: Although he often loses, he never loses!
Taken together, Cao Cao's battle history is more difficult and richer. In my opinion, the appearance in adversity is the real strength.
Political angle
Cao Cao’s political career should start from "taking the emperor to order the princes". He used Han Xiandi, who was not to be seen by others, to play a resounding banner, thus justifying the battle. Quartet. Cao Cao valued the puppet emperor Han Xian very much, and even married his three daughters to Emperor Han Xian, so that the son-in-law Liu Xie had to give the old man a bit of face. This was actually Cao Cao's political skill. Although Cao Cao had power in his hands, he never took the step of becoming emperor until his death. Our descendants can't really know what he is thinking. We only know that when someone persuaded him to become emperor, he said this sentence:
"If the fate is in me, I will be the king of Zhou Wen."
周文王 Entrepreneurship is not half but the middle road collapses , Wang Wu inherited his business of cutting down, which is similar to Cao Cao's situation. In fact, it can be deduced from Cao Cao's words that if he can unify the world during his lifetime, he would be a natural emperor for himself. However, the world was divided into three points, and wars continued. Cao Cao failed to unify the country in his lifetime.
Simayi
And Sima Yi's political peak depends on the word "forbearance". He endured the suspicious Cao Cao, passed the shrewd Cao Pi, concealed the wise Cao Rui, deceived the arrogant Cao Shuang, and finally the Gao Pingling incident succeeded in one fell swoop. Next, Sima Yi relied on killing to stabilize the political situation, so the Sima clan after seizing power was unpopular. Although the Sima family followed the example of Cao Cao and took the emperor to command the princes, it was obviously a failure. The Huainan Three Rebellions are proof.
So in politics, it is obvious that Sima Yi has a big deal behind Cao Cao. After all, Sima Yi is only Wang Zuo's talent, but Cao Cao is a peerless traitor.
情上
Cao Cao is a passionate person, and he values people who have a long relationship with children. This is the rare warmth of Cao Cao, who is naturally treacherous. Some people definitely don't believe that Cao Cao is such a person.
Cao Cao's first wife is Mrs. Ding. Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao. Although he was not born by Mrs. Ding, he was raised by Mrs. Ding. In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao did not control the desire below the abdomen and occupied Zhang Xiu's aunt, and Zhang Xiu rose up to resist. In the resistance, Cao Ang died in Wancheng. Later when Cao Cao returned home, Mrs. Ding was very angry, crying and shouting at Cao Cao every day: "Kill my son, and never read it again." (Meaning: You are not sad if you killed my son!)Cao Cao was too troubled, so she had to send her back to her family. Later, Cao Cao repented and went to her natal family personally to take Mrs. Ding home, but Mrs. Ding was a staunch woman and refused to go home. Cao Cao had no choice but to write a divorce letter so that she could remarry later. Does it look like a contemporary couple?
Then Bian became Cao Cao's wife. This virtuous Shude of the Bian clan was famous, and he gave birth to four sons: Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Pi and Cao Xiong (Cao Xiong Zaoyao). Bian is the wife of the main room who accompanied Cao Cao to his old age, and the two are old together. Cao Cao has been treacherous all his life, but he is really sincere in treating his own woman.
Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua's couple
And Sima Yi, we are more familiar with his wife Zhang Chunhua. However, in his later years, Sima Yi disliked the wife of chaos very much and went to pet his concubine, Mrs. Bai. As evidenced by "Book of Jin":
Later, Mrs. Bai was favored, but later was rarely seen. The emperor tasted lying sickness, and later went back to the province. The emperor said: "Old things are abominable, why bother to come out!" Later, if you don't eat, you will commit suicide. The emperor was shocked and thanked, but after that. The emperor retired and said that the person said: "The old things are not enough, I am tired of my ears!
roughly means: since Mrs. Bai was favored, it is difficult for Zhang Chunhua to see Sima Yi again as his wife. Once, Sima Yi fell ill, Zhang Chunhua went to visit, but Sima Yi said: You old stuff is really annoying! Zhang Chunhua heard that it was very uncomfortable and wanted to commit suicide on a hunger strike. When Sima Yi and Sima Zhao heard about it, they also went on a hunger strike. Sima Yi went to apologize, Zhang Chunhua This stopped the hunger strike. Sima Yi secretly told others: This old guy is not sorry for his death, I am just worried about my son!
This story comes from "Book of Jin", so it has a certain degree of credibility. Sima Yi Isn’t Zhang Chunhua another kind of husband and wife relationship around us? It is in sharp contrast to the above relationship between Cao Cao and his wife.
So it is concluded that Cao Cao is much stronger than Sima Yi in handling emotional issues. .
教育上
Sima Yi has nine sons, while Cao Cao has 25 sons. Sima Yi is slightly inferior in number, and education level is also much inferior.
Sima Yi’s big His son, Sima Master, was calm and wise and brave, and put down Wenqin and Wuqiujian's rebellion; the second son, Sima Zhao, was cruel and alert, and killed everyone himself when he was ruthless, and killed both Zhong Hui and Deng Ai in one strategy. General.
斯马兄弟
These two sons are really great, but the other descendants are not so good. Maybe their family has the genes to seize power. In Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan After his death, Sima Yi's sons and grandsons started the Eight Kings Rebellion in order to fight for power, which caused the invasion of ethnic minorities and almost annihilated the Han people. will produce such a result, which is definitely related to Sima Yi's previous education. .
Let’s talk about Cao Cao’s son, the eldest son Cao Ang is brave and brave, and has a strong temperament; the second son Cao Pi is both civil and military, talented and knowledgeable; the third son Cao Zhang is brave in combat and brave and good at fighting; the fourth son, Cao Zhi, is good at fighting and has a good export. The seven sons of Cao Chong are smart, caring, and unique... It can be said that Cao Cao’s sons are excellent, even when they are passed down to grandchildren. Some people will question why the Cao family is so excellent, why they were usurped by the Sima family. This is mainly Cao Pi's pot. He gradually weakened the rights of Cao's clan family members. During the time of Cao Shuang, there were no more Cao family members who could check and balance the Sima family, which gave Sima a chance to grow bigger.
曹家兄弟
Therefore, Sima Yi is far inferior to Cao Cao in terms of education.
文化上
The contributions that the ancients care about It is three points: meritorious service, morality, and speech.
Both of them have made meritorious service, and based on the above analysis,Cao Cao must be slightly better. It's just this statement, Cao Cao still has many literary works handed down to the world, such as "Guan Canghai", "Gui Shishou", "Meng De New Book" and so on. What about Sima Yi? Sorry, I didn't find it. If Sima Yi really had literary works, the historians of the Jin Dynasty had no reason not to record them, so the conclusion can only be no.
So in the field of culture, Sima Yi is not as good as Cao Cao.
After all, idols are idols, and Cao Cao is far better than Sima Yi in all aspects. This may be the reason why Cao Cao was gradually confronted by people, while Sima Yi has been nailed to the pillar of shame.
With history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, we can understand gains and losses. Follow me, let us praise history together!
