After Zhuge Liang died, why didn t Sima Yi take advantage of the situation to destroy the Shu Kingdo

In ancient times, there was a word called chess opponents, two people are quite strong is a very lucky thing, after all, a person standing in a very high position, it is inevitable that there will be some loneliness, this feeling may be the most obvious in the Three Kingdoms era, because there are too many capable people, there are always capable two people fighting together, you can't destroy me, I can't destroy you. For example, Sima Yi and his enemy Zhuge Liang.

It is estimated that many people have heard of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, and they all think that Zhou Yu is Zhuge Liang's biggest enemy, in fact, the two have not had too many negotiations, and there has been cooperation, on the contrary, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi can be regarded as real enemies. Those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that the two have fought each other many times, and they have been facing each other for almost 10 years. But when it comes to results, neither can defeat the other.

The final result is that Zhuge Liang died first, Sima Yi is still alive, from this point of view, then he may be the winner, to say that Sima Yi has nothing to say in the first half of his life, there is some forbearance, and there are some nests, and Cao Cao's subordinates did not show any great talent. Therefore, Sima Yi was very quiet at the beginning. It was only when Cao Pi became emperor that he really began to realize his ambitions.

Later, he reached the peak of power, and it had been many years since Zhuge Liang died at that time, why didn't he take the opportunity to destroy Shu? What about his great career? It was 30 years later that his son Sima Zhao revealed the secret.

Back then, Liu Chan invited Sima Zhao to dinner in Wei State, and said to him at the dinner table, even if Zhuge Liang helps you, it can't guarantee that you will last long, let alone other people. The meaning is obvious. That is to say, the national strength of Shu is no longer good, just sit back and wait for it to decline.

Sima Zhao said that without Zhuge Liang, Shu would perish sooner or later, and he could wait until Shu was the weakest to attack.

For Sima Yi, although he has always been in opposition to Zhuge Liang, the two have always been on par and regarded as confidants. After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan was incapable of competing with Sima Yi, but for Sima Yi, who had lost his opponent, Shu was not to be afraid.

Sima Zhao said that Zhuge Liang's death in Shu would never last long, and instead of spending manpower and material resources to go on an expedition, it was better to wait for Shu to run out of gas and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Sima Zhao said to Liu Chan that even if Zhuge Liang was still alive, Shu would not exist for long, let alone after Zhuge Liang's death. Sima Yi felt that there was no need to waste time and energy attacking Shu.

Because after Zhuge Liang's death, Shu Han's qi was exhausted, and instead of sending troops to occupy it, it was better to wait for them to exhaust their energy to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi belong to chess opponents, and the two of them are on par with each other. After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi thought that Shu was exhausted without Zhuge Liang, so he was not in a hurry.

Because it was indeed difficult for Shu Han to attack when Zhuge Kongming was alive, even if he died, the army he led was still very strategic, so Shu Han could not be attacked in a short time.

After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi suddenly felt that he had no opponent, thinking that Shu no longer had any power to challenge him, and the Cao family was already suppressing Sima Yi at that time.

Because Sima Yi knows the truth of "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks", if after Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi directly destroyed the entire Shu Kingdom, then Sima Yi at this time has no use value for Cao Wei, in this case, Cao Wei will definitely kill Sima Yi directly. Therefore, for his own sake, Sima Yi will definitely not be in a hurry to move Shu Han, he must first endure it and develop his own power well, so from this point of view, Sima Yi is indeed very sophisticated.

In the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang should be regarded as a very good character, Zhuge Liang used soldiers like a god, and he was also resourceful, but it was such an all-round talent who also encountered a strong opponent, this person is Sima Yi. Sima Yi's vision is very unique, and he is also quite far-sighted, Sima Yi knows that Zhuge Liang is the biggest enemy in his life, in fact, when Zhuge Liang was alive, the two of them had back and forth, and they were also very happy.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's containment that Cao Wei did not dare to move Sima Yi's brother to answer, because they knew that if Sima Yi died, then no one would be able to restrain Zhuge Liang, and Cao Wei had to use Sima Yi to be able to confront the entire Shu Han. And Sima Yi is so smart, he naturally knows the truth in this, so on the surface, Sima Yi has been fighting against Zhuge Liang and the entire Shuhan group, but in fact, Sima Yi has not made a move and died.

Later, after Zhuge Liang died, the national strength of the Shu Han group at this time was very weak, and if Sima Yi wanted to destroy Shu Han, it was not particularly difficult. But Sima Yi also thinks very long-term, Sima Yi knows that if he destroys Shu Han, then he will lose all his use value, and he will die ugly at that time. Therefore, at this time, Sima Yi simply ignored Shu Han, but buried himself in developing his own power, which also paved the way for a coup d'état in the future.

Because he no longer had the support and orders of Emperor Cao Wei, and after Zhuge Liang's death, Eastern Wu once attacked Cao Wei, and Sima Yi also lost his military power during this time period, so Sima Yi never attacked Shu Han again.

Because without the support of Emperor Cao Wei, Sima Yi did not dare to attack Shu Han again, and if he did too much, the emperor might think that he was going to rebel.

Because after Zhuge Liang died, Shu Han didn't have much ability, there was no point in attacking Shu Han, and Shu Han would slowly die.

When Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi did not choose to cut down Shu again, I think there are several reasons, the first reason is Sima Yi's ideology, the second reason is Sima Yi's goal, and the third reason is the situation faced by Shu at that time, so Sima Yi did not choose to cut Shu.

OneThe Romance of the Three Kingdoms must have been seen by everyone, and the famous Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms are also well known, many people compare the two of them together, thinking that they are chess opponents and have left a lot of stories for future generations, in history, Zhuge Liang has also made many northern expeditions to the Central Plains, and also fought a life-and-death battle with Sima Yi in Wuzhangyuan, but Zhuge Liang died before he was born, and Sima Yi also won the war smoothly, but Sima Yi did not choose to continue to cut down Shu, I think there are several reasons for this.

IIThe first reason is Sima Yi's ideology, Sima Yi has served by Cao Cao's side for many years, and he knows Cao Cao's life very well, and Sima Yi has also been in danger of his life many times, so Sima Yi has become more and more tolerant, so he decided to choose to hold the real powerThe second reason is that Sima Yi's goal is not just the goal of Shu, his ultimate goal is to go towards unification, so he chooses to accumulate strength.

3. The third reason is the situation of Shu at that time, Because when Zhuge Liang was alive, the national strength of Shu belonged to the peak period, until Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, the smart Sima Yi knew very well that the Shu Kingdom was slowly going downhill, in his opinion, he knew Zhuge Liang's style of doing things very well and the actual situation of Shu at that time, he thought that it was a matter of time before Shu was destroyed, so he didn't need to spend a lot of energy to cut down Shu, this is not very important, so I think that when Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi did not choose to continue the offensive because of the above three reasons, everything he did was to achieve his ultimate goal.

Because Sima Yi is too old, old and decrepit, he just wants to compete for power and profit in the Wei State, and has no ambition to expand his territory.

Because after Zhuge Liang died at that time, Shu was no longer dangerous, and there was no need to care too much about it at all, even if it was left alone, Shu would gradually decline.

This is because Zhuge Liang's many northern expeditions have been fruitless, and Sima Yi also deeply understands that this war is difficult to win, so he did not cut down Shu.
