I. Chen Deng
This character, Chen Yuanlong, has a general position in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he was mentioned as an insider by the way when Cao Cao met Lu Bu. It gives the impression that this man is only a small part of a conspiracy, and his talent cannot be elegant. But is history really like this?
No, once a man named Xu Si came from Guangling and told Liu Biao about Chen Deng. At that time, Liu Bei and Liu Biao stayed together. Xu teacher listened to their words and complained as soon as he came up: "Chen Deng is so rude. A celebrity like me can't eat anywhere. " When I came to see him, I didn't like it, so I said to stay. He slept in a comfortable big bed and let me sleep on the floor. This guy is rude to corporal. I can't see anything. Liu Biao agreed, and Liu Bei sneered, "I know Longyuan too well. He is a man full of world affairs, and he hates talking to boring literati.
All you know is that this man is romantic and petty, and has no idea about his manners. Longyuan, that's very kind of you. If I were you, I would sleep in a building 100 feet high, dig a hole in the ground for you to sleep and give you a berth. "He turned around and seriously said to Liu Biao," Chen Yuanlong's courage in civil and military affairs can only be compared with that of ancient sages. I think few contemporary figures can surpass him. "Cao Cao didn't take a character like Liu Bei seriously. After the elimination of Lu Bu, Cao Cao only made Chen Deng the governor of Guangling.

When Cao Cao crusaded against Yuan Shao, he took away almost all the best soldiers in the counties, and the defense in the south was quite empty. At this time, Sun Ce in Jiangnan began to stir, crossing the river to plot against Guangling. Chen Deng's soldiers were few, and his men panicked. Chen Deng said calmly, "Although Sun Ce is brave and has many soldiers, he doesn't know the truth here. I think we still have a chance to beat him. "
So he ordered the soldiers to pull down all the banners on the wall and people in the city were not allowed to walk around casually. It looks as if they were frightened by Sun Ce and ran away. In dangerous places on both sides of the road leading to Guangling, the soldiers were ordered to set up more fires and drums. Sun Ce's army came, and when they saw Guangling like this, they were not in a hurry to attack the city. It is stationed in the south of the city to spy on the actual situation. In the evening, Chen Deng ordered the killing everywhere, and suddenly planted all his own cities with flags, beating gongs and drums and shouting slogans.
Sun Ce was frightened and ran away. Chen Deng ordered the soldiers to go out of the city to kill him and seize all the trench behind him. World War I made Cao Cao sit up and take notice of Chen Deng. Chen Deng died of illness when he was about to reuse it. Cao Cao regretted for a long time. When Chen surrendered, he stated to Cao Cao the strategy of conquering Jiangnan. Cao Cao didn't take it seriously when Sun Quan's power in Jiangdong gradually stabilized. Cao Cao toured Hefei and headed for the Yangtze River in the distance, sighing for a long time. The opponent said, "I really hate that I didn't use Chen Deng's strategy earlier!" " It is sad that a generation of Tianjiao died young.
Two. Huan Fan
If Cao Shuang believed him, there might be no Sima enterprise in the world. The change of Wei, chaos at home and abroad, the form of regret is unknown, and the ministers are at a loss. Just then, someone woke up, and that was the big farmer Huan Fan. He made a decisive decision, grabbed Yin Fu, cut off the lock and escaped from Luoyang. Sima Yi heard the news of his escape, stamped his foot and sighed and said, "Oh, no,no.". The think tank ran away. "
Jiang Ji said to Sima, "It's all right. Naturally, he is terrible, but I don't think a coward like Cao Shuang dares to listen to his plan. " When Huan Fan arrived in the chaotic Cao Shuang army, he immediately soberly analyzed the situation and said emotionally, "It takes less than half a night from here to Xuchang, and the food and grass in the city can last for several years. I am now in possession of Yin Fu, the general mobilization of the world's military forces! What are you afraid of? Now that the emperor is in his hands, he commands the world under the banner of the emperor, and the generals of the whole country know who to follow at a glance! "
However, the loser Cao Shuang still dare not. He said something extremely cowardly: "I don't expect to be in power now." Going home and guarding a few acres of land can always be a rich man. Fan Kuai shouted angrily: "Your father Cao is really an indomitable spirit from China. How can his son be more stupid than a pig!" ! "
Third, Cao Zhi
If Cao Zhi's talent is just flirting, there is nothing to regret, but this is not the case in history. Cao Cao is very strict with his children and carefully cultivates them according to everyone's talents. For example, Cao Pi, the eldest son, is a good official and has good poems. The second son, Cao Zhang, was brave and good at fighting. Cao Cao constantly criticized his stupidity and advised him to read more books and study the art of war. Later, sure enough, Cao Zhang grew into an excellent soldier. In the late Jian 'an period, he took fifty thousand soldiers from Youzhou to fight against the northern minorities and wiped out fifty thousand in one fell swoop.
However, Cao Cao's favorite is his third son Cao Zhi. Needless to say, Cao Cao is very satisfied with his literary talent. Cao Cao paid attention to enlighten and inspire him politically and militarily. For example, when Cao Cao invaded Sun Quan in the south, Cao Zhi was stationed in Laowoye County, which was newly settled by Yuan Shao, and let him be a local official for two years to exercise his ability to deal with complex government affairs. When he left, Dundun taught, "You are 23 years old. When I was your age, I was the garrison commander of Luoyang, and I killed the overbearing eunuch with a stick. You should be careful. "
Cao Zhi is very excited and works hard. If he doesn't understand, he asks experienced men and others to manage his power well. Cao Cao was so satisfied that he had moved the idea of making him a prince. Later, in the twenty-four years of Jian 'an, Guan Yu led the troops to annihilate Yu Jin and others, which was a great threat to China. Cao Cao's career is at a critical juncture. If Guan Yu conquers Fancheng and defends the Yellow River in the south, there is no danger, and the enemy is in Xuchang. At this time, there will be rebellion everywhere. At a critical juncture, a trusted general must be sent to save Fan Cheng. Cao Cao thought of Cao Zhi and appointed him as the commander-in-chief against Guan Yu in South China.
At this time, Cao Pi tricked Cao Zhi into the mansion and got him drunk. As a result, Cao Cao was furious and dismissed Cao Zhi in a rage. Cao Zhi lost the opportunity to command the elite troops. If Cao Zhi firmly grasped the military power at this time, occupied Wancheng and cooperated with Cao Zhang, which has hundreds of troops in Kansai, Xelloss would never become an emperor. We all know what happened afterwards. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he immediately suppressed Cao Zhi and exiled him to Shandong to take care of him. After Cao Rui acceded to the throne, he gradually relaxed his care for Cao Zhi and gave him considerable freedom.
At this time, Cao Zhi went to the famous "self-test table". I took a look at this table, which stated the situation of the Three Kingdoms in detail, and combined with Cao Cao's experience in using troops, put forward a set of strategies to deal with Wu and Shu. The article is touching and writes: "I would like to charge on the land as a school official or a general attached to the west, Cao Zhen;" Or a boat speeding on the East Caofu River; We must seize Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang alive to fulfill the wishes of the first emperor. If I can fight for this ideal, I will have no regrets even if I die. "
But how can Cao Shenrui satisfy him? Just wrote four words: it doesn't hurt or itch: its ambition is commendable. The last generation of masters died in the mountains.

Four. Wei Yan
After Liu Bei's crusade against Hanzhong, he once considered that such an important place must be guarded by an experienced and brave soldier. At that time, people thought that this role must belong to Zhang Fei. Liu Bei joined three brothers to guard Xichuan, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Hanzhong awarded Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei, too, really thinks so. He can take office when he is ready. As a result, Liu Bei announced that Hanzhong satrap was Wei Yan! The whole army was stunned. At the appointment ceremony, Liu Bei asked Wei seriously, "How are you going to leave me in Hanzhong?" Wei's neck froze, and he replied categorically, "If Cao Cao uses all the military forces in the world to attack himself, then I will use the city and danger to resist. As long as I lead 100,000 people to harass, I will open the city gate to fight and annihilate him all! " Liu bei laughed.
After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang fought in the south and returned to Chengdu. He just left his feet, and his soldiers and horses haven't come ashore to rest. Wei generals Guo Huai and Fei attacked the Qiang people in Liangzhou, destroying the alliance between the Qiang people and others. Then Zhuge Liang said to Wei Yan, "I have no extra soldiers for you. Take the existing soldiers in Hanzhong to save the Qiang people. " Wei Yan said with a smile, "What do you want the military and horses of the country to do? I brought a team of Qin Bing to command the Qiang people to defeat these bastards. " So Qin Bing sneaked into the Qiang department with a little light and sharp, and commanded a group of ethnic military forces to attack Wei Bing in Yangxi area.
Zhuge Liang was so happy that he had a hard time with Longkou. He was immediately named the general of the Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition, and his position was much higher than that of Zhao Yun. Unfortunately, this was the first and last time that Wei Yan led troops alone. In the following six expeditions, Wei served as a partial general under Zhuge Liang. Wei Yan often regrets that his talent has not been fully tapped, and he is more and more disgusted. In the important position of guarding the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang did not use an experienced general like Wei Yan, but used a war horse to accuse this flashy thing. No wonder Chen Shou later said that Zhuge Liang's contingency plan was not his strong suit.
Verb Jiang Wei
By contrast, he is lucky. He was only 27 when he became a general in the West. Zhuge Liang praised him and said, "jiang bo is both civil and military, with extraordinary courage. And loyal to the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou is such a treasure! I think I can let him train elite tigers to March. After the war, I will take him to see the emperor. "
Zhuge Liang's re-used talents suffered losses because of expenses. Fei is very talented, but he is rather loose and has no lofty aspirations. Jiang Wei has repeatedly stated that he crusaded against Wei. Fei said lazily, "We are far behind the Prime Minister. What the Prime Minister failed to do, can we do it? " Sometimes I can't stand Jiang's nagging, so I give him thousands of people to harass Wei's border.
Later, after Fei's death, Jiang Ruhu came out of the mountain, led tens of thousands of people to crusade against Liangzhou, and defeated Wei in Taoxi, killing tens of thousands of people. This is the biggest victory of Shu Han in the western front after Liu Bei's battle in Hanzhong. If it weren't for Chen Tai's stupidity, Wei made a surprise decision in the wind, and the whole Liangzhou was annexed (even at that time, such a lean man as Wargo said that Jiang Wei was too strong and should be avoided, so it was better to give up Liangzhou. Later, Jiang was pushed out to reclaim land.
At this point, Jiang Wei suggested strengthening the defense of Yangpingguan and Yinpingqiao, but the princes and ministers of Shu Han ignored it. Sure enough, Zhong will conquer Yangping and capture Hanzhong, and Wargo will smuggle Yangping to Chengdu. Things didn't develop as Jiang expected. At this time, Jiang moved to Jiange. It is said that Deng has arrived at the gates of Chengdu. He advised Zhuge Zhan not to go out and confront Deng. Leave the danger in Mianyang. Deng's army was short of food and grass, and naturally it was finished.
But Zhuge Zhan didn't listen, got off the bus and was defeated by Deng. Jiang Wei did not give up this time and asked to organize a defensive war in Chengdu. Li is waiting for him. However, Liu Chan surrendered. When Jiang Wei heard the news, he drew his sword and cut it at the stone on the roadside. Later, at the celebration dinner in Chengdu, Deng Ai scratched his gray head and said drunkenly, "Jiang Boyue is a contemporary hero. Unfortunately, he met such a master and of course met me, so he was cornered."

Six. Tian Yu
When Tian Yu was young, he worked under Gongsun Zan, and nobody cared. At that time, Liu Bei also saved himself in Gongsun Zan. Liu knows and likes this little guy very well and often chats with him. When we were chatting, we were more and more surprised to find that Tian Yu was really talented. Later, Tian Yu didn't get along well, just like her old mother got sick, resigned and went home. Liu Bei reluctantly took Tian's hand and cried, "I really hate that I am not blessed and can't achieve great things with you."
Later, Gongsun Zan colluded with Yuan Shao to rebel and beat Gongsun Zan's Youzhou to the gate. Gongsun Zan was scared to death. Tian returned to the Gongsun shogunate and said, "I'll tell your majesty." I went to Wang's barracks and didn't know what to say for a long time. Anyway, as soon as the military account came out, Wang Juan blushed and retired. Later, when Gongsun Zan died, Youzhou people elected the virtuous and foolish husband as the leader, and Tian went to the virtuous and foolish.
Tian was afraid of Yuan Shao's strength and wanted to submit to him, so he said, "I think if something happens to Yuan Shao, I'd better submit to Cao Cao." Later, Tian worked under Cao Cao. He knows the customs of the north like the back of his hand, and he knows the tactics of fighting like the back of his hand. When Cao Zhang attacked Wuwan, Tian was a strategist and gave Cao Zhang many good ideas. Cao Zhang particularly appreciated him and recommended him to Cao Cao, who immediately became interested and asked him to be the secretariat of Youzhou.
Tian Northern Expedition made outstanding achievements, including Xianbei, Wuwan and Liaodong, and was almost a vassal of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, he carefully trained Youzhou soldiers and surrendered minority cavalry, and provided a large number of soldiers and horses to the country every year, which is the most important export destination of Wei Bing. The most valiant soldiers and horses on the western and southern lines came from Youzhou. Tian's contribution is so great, but the official has been unable to get on. Why? After he occupied the city, all the gold, silver and Zhu Bao were given to his men, so his men launched a fierce battle.
Someone in the court began to say that Tian had something good for the emperor. He enjoys it himself. He rewards his men too much. Emperor Cao Rui was particularly fond of jewelry. As soon as he heard that Tian You didn't get paid, he hated Tian, so he didn't promote him for many years. Later, Sima Yi came to power and wanted to promote him. Tianqi wrote a letter to Sima: "I am over seventy and my beard is white." What else can I promote? "Save a seat for young people and don't let them repeat my old ways!"
