Why are the top ten counselors ranked so high?
After the top ten counselors, you can also make a long list, such as Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Xu You and Ji Feng under Yuan Shao, Xun You and Man Chong under Cao Cao's account, Xu Shu and Fazheng used by Liu Bei, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and Zhuge Ke in Wu Dong camp, Chen Gong under Lu Bu, Chen Deng and his son in which camp, and so on. These people have excellent performances to show their intelligence. However, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the deeds of these counselors are not very prominent, or they only briefly appeared on the stage of the Romance of Luo Guanzhong, and did not show their strength in the official history.
Yuan Shao's advisers, except Guo Tu, are all terrible advisers. But they didn't gain more trust from Yuan Shao, and infighting consumed their intelligence. With the rapid demise of the Yuan Group, they also quickly disappeared from the historical stage, failing to show the elegance of the Three Kingdoms period. In that case, how can Jushou, who is also a counselor of Yuan Shao, be shortlisted? Top ten? And then what? There is a simple reason. The ingenuity of the giant hand is not only reflected in tactics, but also in his judgment and planning of the world trend. When evaluating Yuan Shao's advisers, Yu Xun was very disdainful of Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Xu You, Ji Feng and others, but he didn't dare to despise him.
Jushou was captured in the battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao wanted him very much. Once persuaded him to surrender, saying, I didn't intend to, and you don't have to say anything. Why are you obsessed? If I had taken the first step earlier, the world would have become careless. Cao Cao's words are to the point. Yuan Shao was able to dominate Hebei because he took the advice of a great hand and captured Qingzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, ranking first in the world. Jushou once offered to be emperor, but Yuan Shao didn't have ambition, didn't adopt it, and missed the opportunity to compete for the world.
The great hand is far-sighted in strategy and proficient in tactics. In the battle of Guandu, he analyzed the situation and thought that Cao Cao was short of food and grass, which was conducive to a quick decision. Therefore, it is suggested that Yuan Shao and Cao Bing fight a war of attrition, let Cao Cao retreat without fighting, and then take the opportunity to attack. Yuan Shao not only failed to adopt it, but also cured the giant hand.
The great hand seeks both the first world war and the overall situation, both the overall situation and the world. It's a pity that this man voted for the wrong Lord and was deeply hurt by foolish loyalty. If it is under Cao Cao's account, it will definitely establish immortal feats.
This answer takes Jushou as the benchmark and lists the top ten counselors. Their ranking is also measured by three criteria: strategy, tactics and performance.
Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Pang Tong are tacticians.
Of these three people, Pang Tong has the highest ingenuity, but he hasn't appeared before. Can two people in Feng Chu be safe in Wolong world? Give readers unlimited expectations. When he appeared on the stage, he was also very powerful. He offered a series of tricks to Cao Cao, helped Zhou Yu set fire to the ship, won Battle of Red Cliffs, and created an era of tripartite confrontation. Lei Yang's talent shocked Zhang Yide, who seldom persuaded others. When he conquered Zhong Shu, he began to win one after another and gave Liu Bei three tricks, which was enough to show Feng Chu's talent.
However, Pang Shiyuan's proposal of taking Xichuan was only a big step in Zhuge Liang's overall strategy of northern expedition to the Central Plains, not Pang Tong's pioneering work. After meeting Zhang Ren, a famous player in Shu, Pang Shiyuan met his arch-rival. At this time, Pang Tong didn't listen to Zhuge Liang's dissuasion, was greedy for perfection, acted rashly, lost his accurate judgment of the situation, and died in Luofengpo.
Jia Xu, like Pang Tong, is a master tactician. The most brilliant is the battle between Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, which surprised the enemy and gave Cao Mengde a headache. After joining Cao Cao's camp, he did not stand out among many counselors. The most wonderful move is that Cao Cao deliberately smeared the letter to alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, and won the victory against Xiliang Army.
The reason why Jia Xu ranks lower is that his analysis and judgment of the overall strategy and his ability to grasp the overall situation are not prominent in the book. Jia Xu also has self-knowledge. After entering Cao Cao, he rarely made his debut. In fact, Jia Xu is good at sizing up the situation. Before the battle of Guandu, Jia Xu suggested that Zhang Xiu join Cao Cao, which was the result of his accurate prediction. It is because of his extraordinary IQ and low-key engagement that he can live a long life. This alone puts Jia ahead of Pang Tong.
Cheng Yu's main achievement is that when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, he defended the rear area and resisted Lu Bu's crazy attack, ensuring that the ideal city did not fall. Cheng Yu is generous, generous and very low-key. He finally lived to be 80 years old, helped Cao Cao to think about his career, assisted Cao Pi to establish the Cao Wei Dynasty, and became one of the top ten counselors in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Lu Xun Yu Xun Guo Jia has great wisdom.
Of these three people, Lu Xun is the most wise. The former enemy commander in Jingzhou was Lu Xun. According to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu was a little afraid of Lv Meng. In order to paralyze Guan Yu, Wu Dong hid Lv Meng in the snow and sent young Lu Xun to attack Jingzhou. In fact, this tactic was also invented by Lu Xun. Guan Yu was transferred from Jingzhou, then crossed the river in white and took advantage of it.
Jingzhou is a territory that Wu Dong must occupy, otherwise? Dong Lian Wu Hui? Looking at the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan can hardly sleep, and Lu Xun's contribution is really too great.
The most famous battle of Yiling was indeed commanded by Lu Xun, and it was the most tragic battle in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Lu Xun burned down the prison camp and saved Wu Dong again. In this battle, Lu Xun was independent, and he won the battle as the head coach. Scholars worship generals? Guo Jia lags far behind.
Guo Jia ranks behind Lu Xun for two reasons. Not an independent commander-in-chief, personally leading troops to fight is one of them. Moreover, his short life also limited his intelligence, failed to catch up with the historical opportunities of enemies with masters such as Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, and his ability as a counselor was not completely tested.
Yu Xun is not lost to Guo Jia in strategic prediction, and his tactical ability is first-class. Judging from his qualifications and wisdom, he is the first counselor in Cao Ying.
These three advisers with great wisdom, like the giant longevity mentioned above, all reached the level of strategists, slightly higher than the average tactician. But if we compare with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Zhou Yu, we will lose another grade or even more.
The top three have the strength of independent hegemony.
Zhou Yu was the first commander in chief of Wu Dong. From the time of Sun Ce, he was a strategist who kept pace with the Lord and made great achievements. When Zhou Yu met Sun Bofu, he once said: I am willing to do my best to achieve great things. ? This means fighting side by side, not just as a strategist. Sun Ce also recognized Zhou Yu's statement and was overjoyed. I got Gong Jin, and great things happened together. ?
Battle of Red Cliffs and Sun Quan authorized Zhou Yu to lead the troops to fight against Cao Cao, creating a classic war case of winning more with less, which laid a solid foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. Zhou Yu's military talent belongs to the first-class existence, and his tactics are comparable to those of ordinary counselors. Luo Guanzhong ingeniously wrote the image of Zhou Yu, who was very domineering and possessed. This is far beyond the reach of Lu Xun, Yu Xun and Guo Jia.
Although Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan in his later period, the actual power of Shu Han was in Kong Ming's hands. If Zhuge Liang is ambitious and replaces Liu Chan, he can establish political power and compete with Cao Wei and Soochow for the world.
It goes without saying that Sima Yi himself failed to establish a dynasty, but gradually usurped the supreme power of Cao Wei. Cao Shuang, Sima Yi successfully seized the military power and became king, which laid the foundation for usurping Wei. However, the ability of his descendants is far less than that of Sima Yi, but he judged the situation accurately at that time, and it was not time to be the king.
In fact, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are two counselors with the highest realm, the strongest ability and the deepest wisdom, and they should be tied for the first place. In the long-term confrontation, these two men were the supreme military commanders of their respective dynasties, and only Zhou could compare with them. Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang have both offensive and defensive abilities, with beautiful offense and perfect defense. * * * directed the most wonderful drama in the Three Kingdoms period. Besides, it's not Wang Ba, is it? Top ten counselors? Great strategists who are far ahead of others are unmatched.
It is also reasonable to say that Zhuge Liang is slightly ahead of Sima Yi. During the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi was not the protagonist and failed to personally control such a great historical change.
In fact, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are also great military strategists, which can be interpreted by Han Xin's famous words. These are good generals, and Zhuge Liang and others are their advisers no matter how powerful they are.
