In history, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were basically born at the same time, and the two also had a head-to-head confrontation, so later generations compared the two a lot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHere is also a comparison from the two of them, all the way to strategy, military, politics and other aspects.

【Out of the Mountain】

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang both came out before the Battle of Chibi, and both were invited by the monarch more than once, and the final result was also very dramatic. In history, Zhuge Liang was invited out by Liu Bei's "three visits to the thatched house", and Sima Yi was finally forced by Cao Cao, when Cao Cao directly said to Sima Yi: "If you review Huan, you will accept it." Sima Yi had no choice but to go to the government to report.

There is another record of this incident in "Wei Luo", which believes that Cao Hong made a small report and slandered Sima Yi, and Sima Yi himself was very willing to serve Cao Cao. However, in history, Cao Cao had already begun to recruit Sima Yi when he was Sikong, and if Sima Yi was really willing to serve Cao Cao, why not in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208).

After Sima Yi came out, his status improved relatively rapidly, and he soon became one of Cao Cao's main advisers and one of Cao Pi's main supporters, but Cao Cao did not trust Sima Yi very much, unlike Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao even said to Cao Pi to pay attention to Sima Yi, thinking that he had a wolf look.

Personally, I think this has something to do with Sima Yi's initial impression of Cao Cao, although he was talented at the time, but he was not a big name, Cao Cao recruited several Sima Yi times and was unwilling to be an official for him, the first impression will not be too good, after all, you can't expect Cao Cao and Liu Bei to have a three-way thatched house, Cao Cao doesn't have such a good character, and his identity and status are far from being comparable to the down-and-out Liu Bei.

You must understand how much Jia Xu helped Cao Cao by persuading Zhang Xiu to surrender, but Cao Cao never forgot the incident in Wancheng, and as a result, Jia Xu followed Cao Cao for more than 20 years and never rose to the position of an official. Now that Sima Yi has thrown Cao Cao's face, it is normal for Cao Cao not to trust him.

【Strategy】

On the whole, Sima Yi mainly gave advice to Cao Cao in history, he followed Cao Cao for more than ten years, and also put forward a lot of suggestions, some suggestions Cao Cao adopted, some suggestions Cao Cao did not adopt, but it can be seen that Sima Yi is very strategic.

Cao Cao refused to continue his crusade south against Yizhou after Sima Yi occupied Hanzhong, nor did he transfer away the rough Jingzhou assassin Hu Xiu and the arrogant Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang. After Guan Yu surrounded Xiangfan, he adopted Sima Yi's strategy to unite with Sun Quan against Guan Yu, and at the same time no longer considered moving the capital, and also dispelled the idea of moving the people of Jingzhou under Sima Yi's persuasion.

During the Cao Pi period, Sima Yi also successfully predicted that Sun Quan would not take the initiative to attack Xiangfan, and then Sima Yi also showed terrible strategic talent in many military and political actions.

And Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi showed their strategic ability in the early stage, and their political and military talents were only shown when they were in high power in the later period, excluding the bonus of the ancient plot "Longzhong Pair", the strategy of the two is almost the same, and even Sima Yi is slightly stronger than Zhuge Liang, but after adding the "Longzhong Pair", Sima Yi is not comparable to Zhuge Liang in this regard.

【Military】

In terms of military affairs, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had a direct confrontation. In the fourth year of Taihe (230), when Cao Zhen attacked Shu on a large scale, Sima Yi hit soy sauce once, so he won't talk about it. Later, Sima Yi, as the coach of Cao Wei, had two official fights with Zhuge Liang.

Although the first battle ended with Zhuge Liang running out of food and retreating, Sima Yi and the Han army suffered a small loss in the confrontation, and sent Zhang He to pursue and lost a general, Zhang He's status in Cao Weili was not comparable to Wang Shuang's disciples, and Sima Yi actually lost in the first battle. The second confrontation, first Sima Yi led the troops to garrison, Zhuge Liang attacked and could not overcome, and then invited Sima Yi to face off head-on, Sima Yi did not do it, at that time Cao Wei's national strength was stronger than Shu Han, and it was fought in Cao Wei's own territory, and Sun Quan also withdrew in the later period, Zhuge Liang also adopted a half-soldier and half-peasant strategy in order to keep supplies, although Sima Yi finally boiled Zhuge Liang to death, but the scene was really not good-looking.

After Zhuge Liang's death, there were many internal contradictions in Shu Han, and there were many problems, Sima Yi took the opportunity to pursue, but let go of the Han army because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would not die.

Although Sima Yi fell into the disadvantage of fighting Zhuge Liang on his homeland, after all, he did not lose, and the Han army did not break through Sima Yi's defense line under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, so it is not very fair to judge that Sima Yi is militarily inferior to Zhuge Liang from these two battles alone.

Judging from the comprehensive battle record, it was Sima Yi who had the upper hand, and in the seventh year of the early Huang dynasty (226), Sima Yi repelled Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin and killed Zhang Ba; In the first year of Taihe (227), Sima Yi pacified the Mengda Rebellion; When he was on the Western Front, he not only successfully resisted Zhuge Liang, but also sent Hu Zun to pursue the Xiongnu Hu Bo and Niu Jin to repel Ma Dai; In the second year of the early Jing dynasty (238), Sima Yi invaded Liao and eliminated Gongsun Yuan in one fell swoop; In the second year of Zhengshi (241), Sima Yi personally led his troops to crusade against Zhu Ran, pursued and defeated more than 10,000 enemy troops, and later recaptured Anhui City in the hands of Zhuge Ke; In the third year of Jiaping (251), Sima Yi personally led the troops to quell Wang Ling's rebellion.

In addition to several Northern Expeditions, Zhuge Liang only led troops when he captured Yizhou and personally went south to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong, and his overall military achievements were not as many as Sima Yi's, not to mention that Zhuge Liang's first two Northern Expeditions were also failures.

If you want to rank a ranking list of generals in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, I will personally rank Sima Yi in front of Zhuge Liang.

【Ruling Chapter】

In terms of politics, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are a thousand years old, it is difficult to compare, because the situation faced by the two is very different, Zhuge Liang took power after taking power, mainly recovering national strength in politics and concentrating on the Northern Expedition, while Sima Yi mainly suppressed the Cao clan after taking power and opened the way for the Sima family.

But what Liu Bei left Zhuge Liang after his death was a mess, and when Cao Rui died, Cao Wei's national strength was still strong, although Cao Shuang and Sima Yi assisted the government together, Cao Shuang was still far from being able to compare with Sima Yi in terms of qualifications and political achievements, and later Cao Shuang completely suppressed Sima Yi, controlled the country's political and military power, and finally tried to go further, Sima Yi was not without responsibility.
