Liu Bei had three strategists comparable to Sima Yi, why was Shu destroyed in the end?

You have ten men, and the other side has two hundred, and you have three smart men, and the other side has one man, but a little worse than your three, and you can win? The answer must be no, because the other party only needs to remember that if you keep the main intersection and develop steadily, you will be exchanged for one of the ten, and you must lose. To put it bluntly, what's the use of being smart in the face of absolute power?

The young phoenix Pang Tong died first when Liu Bei conquered Yizhou, and Fa Zheng helped Liu Bei get Hanzhong, which was incomprehensible, and in the end only Zhuge Liang was left, six out of Qishan, and the Northern Expedition failed and died. None of them lived as long as Sima Yi, but the destruction of Shu was due to the weakness of the country.

<> many people may think that Sima Yi poses the greatest threat to Cao Cao, after all, it is difficult to prevent thieves by day and night, and Sima Yi is the culprit of the Cao regime. However, when Cao Cao was alive, Sima Yi was an inconspicuous little person at all, and Sima Yi in the early years was not willing to serve Cao Cao at all, and pretended to be sick for many years just to be able to avoid being out of office, Cao Cao did not have the ability to do the future, and he also knew that his country would be ruined by such a number one person in the future. In fact, under the circumstances at that time, it was obvious that Liu Bei was a greater threat to Cao Cao, although Liu Bei had always been regarded as a thorn in Cao Cao's side in the early days, and he almost captured Liu Bei alive several times, but every time Liu Bei seemed to have a destiny and was able to escape in the end.

The key is that Cao Cao, the general under Liu Bei, still appreciates it, and this kind of opponent is very terrifying.

When Liu Bei was still in Xudu, Cao Cao missed the best opportunity to kill Liu Bei. After Cao Cao united with Liu Bei to arrest Lu Bu, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao back to Xudu, at that time Cao Cao did not think that Liu Bei was a threat to himself, because Liu Bei was too weak at that time, and Cao Cao wanted to win over Liu Bei, so he gave him a general Zuo. It's just that Liu Bei never revealed that he was a pro-Han party, so it was absolutely impossible for him and Cao Cao to get together.

At that time, Xun Yu and many strategists advocated that Cao Cao kill Liu Bei, but Cao Cao not only kept coming to cook wine and talk about heroes, which made Liu Bei frightened, and finally fled.

In fact, Cao Cao's wishful thinking is also very simple, that is, he wants to use Liu Bei's strength to help him deal with Yuan Shao, which can not only help himself, but also let Liu Bei assume the role of cannon fodder. But Cao Cao always underestimated Liu Bei's ambitions, "recovering the Central Plains and supporting the Han Dynasty" is not a joke, not to mention that Liu Bei has long wanted to kill a thief like Cao Cao. So when he heard Cao Cao call him a hero, he knew that something was wrong, Cao Cao was good at using scheming, and it was impossible to inexplicably compliment Liu Bei, who was just a pawn at the time.

Maybe Liu Bei was born with a strong early warning ability, which was also the instinct he relied on to survive later.

In fact, Sima Yi is also cowardly, and even more cowardly than Liu Bei. Cao Cao found out that Sima Yi had the appearance of an eagle-eyed wolf, and in ancient times, if you described a person like this, it was a sign of bad luck, even if you didn't kill him, at least you had to limit his rights. But it seems that Sima Yi is also a person with a destiny, and he really boiled those who threatened him to death, in fact, he blamed Cao Pi and Cao Rui for not being angry, and they didn't know how to manage their selfish desires, and their bodies collapsed when they were in their prime.

In the end, there was only one Cao Shuang left, and there was no way to take Sima Yi at all.

In fact, Cao Cao had the opportunity to easily kill Liu Bei and Sima Yi, but he missed them. In fact, Cao Cao sometimes falls into a personal relationship, if Cao Cao hadn't seized Zhang Xiu's aunt to usher in Zhang Xiu's ambitions, maybe Cao Ang would not have died. Cao Ang is very strict with his control, because he will not become an emperor and sink into a woman like Cao Pi, resulting in an untimely death.

In that case, Sima Yi would not be able to succeed in seizing power.

I think it's hard. Because Sima Yi will definitely choose the most powerful force, his status will definitely be lower.

No! If Sima Yi defected to Shu Han, Zhuge Liang would see Sima Yi's ambitions, so it was impossible for Sima Yi to be reused.

No, because Liu Bei entrusts Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang has a supreme position in Shu, the so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and Sima Yi cannot challenge Zhuge Liang's status in Shu.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang before his death that if this person does not die, Shu will eventually die. Zhuge Liang thought it was just Liu Bei's foolish words, and he didn't care, and in the end, the demise of Shu Han did have to pay part of the responsibility. This person is Zhuge Liang's joining the army, Ma Yan.

Before his death, Liu Bei said that Ma Tan's words were exaggerated, exceeding his actual talent, and he could not appoint major affairs, and told Zhuge Liang to investigate Ma Jian more. Not to mention anything else, Liu Bei, who has big ears, does have a lot of experience in knowing people, look at the five tiger generals under Liu Bei's command, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan and others are all the pillars of Shu, and Liu Bei said that Ma Yan's words are exaggerated and talented, to put it bluntly, the bull is too big. Although Zhuge Liang listened to it, he didn't take it too seriously.

Ma Tan as Zhuge Liang's army, in fact, there is still a little ability, after all, relying on flattery is definitely not able to sit on Zhuge Liang's side, to take the simplest example, that is the story of the seven captures of Meng Huo, when Ma Tan saw off Zhuge Liang, Ma Tan suggested to Zhuge Liang that he be released after catching Meng Huo, so as to gain the hearts of the people, Zhuge Liang felt that it was a good suggestion, and the result was obvious, and the people of Nanzhong were obedient.

This shows that Ma Jian does have some talents, but his talents can only be said to be subckling, and he has no real strategic thinking and overall situation. In 228 AD, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan to the north to attack Wei, according to the consistent way of thinking, Zhuge Liang asked Zhao Yun and others to be suspicious soldiers to attract the attention of Cao Wei, and he led an army of 100,000 to raid Qishan.

This raid does not mean that the 100,000 army directly rushed to Qishan without brains, first of all, the number of the army will slow down as soon as the number of people increases, so the raid is to arrange a pioneer in advance to act as a scout to take the lead in occupying favorable terrain in front of the army, waiting for the army to arrive at the formation, at this time Zhuge Liang has Wei Yan, Wu Yi and other experienced veterans at hand, but Zhuge Liang finally chose Ma Yan as the vanguard.

Ma Tan this person is ambitious and talented, the street pavilion is a dangerous place, put a good road ** do not occupy, have to run to the mountains, as a result, the Wei general Zhang He blocked the water source, resulting in a great reduction in the morale of Ma Tan's army, and later Zhang He launched an attack to break Ma Tan. The loss of the street pavilion caused Zhuge Liang to be forced to return to Hanzhong, which led to the tears and slashing horses behind. It can be said that Ma Tan lost the Jieting, which is equivalent to making all Zhuge Liang's efforts this time in vain, you must know that organizing a large-scale army needs to consume astronomical military salaries, and the opportunity to go out of Qishan is wasted in vain.

Zhuge Liang killed Wei Yan. He was the general of Shu, but Zhuge Liang always felt that he was anti-minded, did not listen to Liu Bei's words, and arranged for someone to kill Wei Yan before his death, causing Shu to have no use for generals and go to extinction.

I don't think that's the case, because first of all, the strength of Shu is far inferior to that of Wei, and after the defeat of Yiling, the national strength is further weakened, and destruction is the general trend.

Zhuge Liang did not listen to Liu Bei's words and reused Ma Tan, which led to the loss of Jieting, and the first Northern Expedition was a complete failure, which eventually led to the destruction of Shu Han.

It was impossible for Liu Bei to win, he was too far behind Cao Cao and Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao didn't have Sima Yi, Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, he couldn't win Cao Cao. The gladiatorial battles in troubled times are never something that one person (Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi) can decide.

Thank you for the invitation! I don't say anything else, just focus on why Liu Bei can't do it.

1. Don't treat "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as history.

Everyone has seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just an artistic recreation, and many of them have deviated from historical facts! (It is said that Lu Bu is a "three-surname house slave", if you want to say this, Liu Bei is "wall grass"!) Zhuge Liang can only be regarded as Liu Bei's assistant, if he wants to gain a foothold in troubled times, Liu Bei must rely on himself!

"Three Kingdoms" tells how many people Liu Bei has followed (he did not unify the Three Kingdoms, not surprised. He has followed Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. This is more than the people Lu Bu "served".

Zhuge Liang can give Liu Bei advice, but Liu Bei also has to use his brain to listen! Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have killed Guan Yu and would not have been able to sit still immediately! (Don't say brotherly righteousness, those who achieve great things must be patient.)

Don't look at your own strength either, as the saying goes: "A gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years").

Second, there is no harm without contrast.

Liu Bei was crying all the time, but if he cried too much, tears were worthless. Liu Bei was crying all the time, to Zhuge Liang to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Cao Cao's tears were not so worthless.

Cao Cao's employment is really a matter of knowing people. For talented people, regardless of past suspicions. The prediction of the direction of the war is far better than Liu Bei, even without Sima Yi, Liu Bei cannot win against Cao Cao.

Sao Shijun said: As the leader of a political regime, you must have the wisdom and vision of a leader. You can't rely on the counselor for everything, if that's the case, you "lead" others or someone else "leads" you. Zhuge Liang is talented, but he alone cannot determine the direction of history!

I'm Sao Shijun, do you think the history I tell is sassy enough? If it's enough, add a follow to support it! There are interesting historical stories to bring to you every day, and friends who like it will pay attention to and support it!

On the one hand, it is to focus on fighting for power with the Cao family, and secondly, although Shu has no talents, its military strength is still not weak.

Because Sima Yi's own ability is not good, after all, it is the Cao family in charge, Sima Yi is just a master, and he needs the right time and opportunity to destroy the Shu Kingdom, and it is not Sima Yi who has the final say.

Because even if Zhuge Liang died, Zhuge Liang had already left Liu Chan with a lot of tricks and guidance, so Sima Yi still didn't dare to attack.

Because a person who has been loyal to other countries will inevitably have some feelings for the other two countries, Sima Yi chose to kill him because he was afraid that he would help the other two countries again.

That's right, this person is Meng Da, he not only worked for Liu Bei. Later, because of Liu Feng's discord, he took refuge in Cao Wei. It's just that after Cao Pi's death, Meng Da's status in Wei plummeted.

After being exposed in correspondence with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi then besieged and killed him.

Because he later plotted against him and still wanted to rebel, he was noticed by Sima Yi, and finally led the army to besiege him for eight days and captured him.
