Looking for the top six counselors in the Three Kingdoms!

Comments on the Six Great Counselors of the Three Kingdoms

Sixth place: Lu Su

Perhaps when Lu Su is mentioned, he has the image of a loyal elder. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The portrayal of Lu Su as an honest gentleman does not adequately demonstrate his talents. Lu Su's family was wealthy and he was close to Zhou Yu. Yuan Shu thought of using Lu Su, but Lu Su saw that his skills were lacking discipline and was not enough to establish affairs, so he moved to Juchao and later followed Sun Quan. The first meeting between Sun Quan and Lu Su was very harmonious. Regardless of the major events in the world, Lu Su immediately showed his superior strategic vision: he advised Sun Quan to annex Huang Zu, attack Liu Biao, use the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to defend, and set up a tripod in the east of the Yangtze River to watch the provocations of the world. Sun Quan admired him very much. Zhang Zhao, the number one counselor at that time, thought that Lu Su was not modest enough and was young and careless, so he advised Sun Quan not to reuse him, but Sun Quan didn't mind.

After Liu Biao's death, Lu Su proposed to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao, and personally went to Jingzhou as an envoy, which achieved ideal results and created prerequisites for victory in the Battle of Chibi. Under the strong pressure of Cao Cao, Sun Quan was hesitant about whether to fight or surrender. Lu Su fought against all opinions, which made Sun Quan sigh: Today, you have made a great plan and are working together with me. God has given me this gift from you. After Lu Su returned after defeating Cao Cao, Sun Quan held a saddle and dismounted to greet Lu Su to show his respect for Lu Su. After the victory in the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su overcame all opinions and considered the overall situation and persuaded Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei. It was undoubtedly a very correct decision at the time. Zhou Yu has a long-term plan to annex Zhang Lu and then Jingzhou, but this seems unlikely. Liu Bei will never let Soochow suppress his living space. And it goes against the overall situation of the Sun-Liu Alliance. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su replaced him, but Liu Beiqiang borrowed Jingzhou and refused to return it, which angered Sun Quan. The two sides almost met each other at war. Lu Su worked hard to maintain the overall situation and fought with Guan Yu alone. Su Yin blamed several feathers and said: "The country originally lent land to Qing's family, but Qing's family's army was defeated and came far away, so there was no use for it. Now that Yizhou has been obtained, there is no intention to return it, but I want three counties, and I don't want to give it back." Obey." He scolded fiercely, and Guan Yu had no words to answer. It's not like in the novel that scares people out of their wits, it simply lowers Lu Su's image a bit.

Lu Su died young at the age of forty-six, and no reason was given. Sun Quan mourned for him. Later, Soochow lost Lu Su, who was mainly peaceful. Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, but it also broke the fortress of Sun and Liu, which directly accelerated the demise of Shu and Wu.

Lu Su is a talented person who really knows the world's major events

Fifth place: Pang Tong

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are equally famous. In fact, this is not an exaggeration. Perhaps Pang Tong's ranking at fifth is a bit low. Perhaps he was better than Zhuge Liang in assisting Liu Bei in completing his hegemony. However, the impression Pang Tong left on us was too short-lived. From the time he defected to Liu Bei to his death in Luoxian County, it was only a few short years before his talents were revealed. It has not yet been fully reflected. Pang Tong started out as a meritorious officer, but with his talent he was just a piece of cake. Pang Tong's reputation spread far and wide. After Zhou Yu's death, he was sent to Wu in mourning. Even the discussion of the powerful people in Wu showed that he was indeed very ambitious and talented. After taking refuge with Liu Bei, he became the county magistrate. Later, he was recommended by Zhuge Liang of Lu Su and was promoted to a high position. His favorability was second only to Zhuge Liang. Later, he followed Liu Bei into Yizhou. Based on Liu Bei's knowledge of people, it can be predicted that at least his military ability will be superior to Zhuge Liang's. Pang Tong, one of Liu Bei's two great advisers, died of an arrow at the age of thirty-six. Liu Bei felt very sorry for him and shed tears in his words.

Like Guo Jia, he died a little early

Fourth place: Sima Yi

Everyone who likes Zhuge Liang knows Sima Yi, because in the late Three Kingdoms they were A pair of enemies, Sima Yi and Cao Cao are somewhat similar. They both emptied the power of a dynasty and let their sons complete their hegemony, which made him the founder of a dynasty. Just like Zhuge Liang, his talents were recognized. Cao Cao saw his ambition and only allowed him to be a "literary minister". During Cao Pi's period, Sima Yi was reused and became prominent for a while, but he was still under Cao Pi's control. Cao Rui was a sensible emperor. He dismissed him and returned him to the fields, but he still had to use him later. The recent capture of Meng Da and the outsmarting of Cao Shuang showed Sima Yi's scheming; the pacification of Liaodong and the confrontation with Fang Geliang allowed him to firmly control the military power, which not only increased his own achievements but also increased his power, laying the groundwork for him to seize power in the future. the basis of.

Of course, Sima Yi is undoubtedly very resourceful. In Hanzhong, he persuaded Cao Cao to conquer Liu Bei, who was not yet stable, but unfortunately Cao Cao did not take it. After Guan Yu was defeated by the ban, he urged Cao Cao to give up the idea of ??moving the capital, and successfully used the contradiction between Sun and Liu to defeat Guan Yu and let Cao Cao gain This was the biggest victory, because Cao Cao not only reversed the situation, but also provoked conflicts between the other two families, directly accelerating the pace of the unification of the Three Kingdoms. Ambitious counselors are not real counselors, but are actually like Wei Wu. If he had no ambition, he would probably be ranked after Xun You

Third place: Jia Xu (-------- I like it)

From the early to the late Three Kingdoms period, Jia Xu was active on different occasions. He began to serve under Dong Zhuo, and later persuaded Li Cui and others to march into Luoyang, which caused the capital to suffer from war at that time. He blamed himself more; later he assisted Zhang Xiu to fight against Cao Cao and achieved partial victory. Especially his judgment on the outcome of chasing Cao Cao was amazing, because his opponent was also the extremely resourceful Cao Cao, which made Jia Xu even more impressive. The strategy is superior to others. During the Battle of Guandu, he urged Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao, and his analysis was reasonable. Cao Cao treated Zhang Xiu favorably, regardless of past grudges, and paid special attention to Jia Xu. He named him Zhi Jinwu. From then on, Jia Xu became Cao Cao's most important and trusted adviser. one. Cao Cao almost obeyed Jia Xu's advice. The only time he disobeyed advice was at the Battle of Chibi: in the 13th year of Jian'an, Taizu broke through Jingzhou and wanted to go eastward along the Yangtze River. Xu admonished: "Ming Gong defeated the Yuan family in the past, and now he has conquered the south of Han Dynasty. His reputation is far away, and his army is huge. If he takes advantage of the people of the old Chu to feed the officials, pacify the people, and make the people happy, then it is not necessary. After all the hard work, Jiangdong Ji surrendered. "Cao Cao refused and suffered heavy losses, losing a good opportunity to dominate the world; the war horse's time-out strategy achieved the goal of disintegration.

Jia Xu was the most important counselor in Cao Ying's later period. Both Cao Cao and Cao Pi trusted him. When it came to establishing the crown prince of Wei, he cleverly cited the examples of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to achieve the goal of establishing Cao Pi as the crown prince. Purpose, although Jia Xu was Cao Pi's confidant, establishing Cao Pi was indeed the appropriate choice at the time. After Cao Pi became emperor, he was naturally very grateful to Jia Xu and immediately made him Taiwei, one of the three princes. In the later period, he also came up with many strategies for Cao Pi and became a veteran of the Wei state.

It can be said that Jia Xu has reached a very high level in seeking people, himself, and the world. After being granted the title of Three Dukes, Jia Xu did not show off, but protected himself wisely and did not make friends with powerful people. Cao Pi was so sinister and vicious that even his uncle Cao Hong wanted to be executed. Jia Xu's action was very wise at the time. Among the senior advisers of Wei State, Jia Xu started well and ended well, avoiding tragedy.

A real counselor, like Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty

Second place: Xun You

Xun You was born in a very prestigious family in Yingchuan. Xun was elegant and elegant, and he was already famous at a young age. He Xun, a well-known figure connoisseur at that time, evaluated Xun Xun as "Wang Zuocai" very early. Xun You first followed Yuan Shao, but when he saw that he could not succeed, he immediately defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed to get Xun You and called him "my son-in-law."

As Cao Cao’s number one counselor, Xun You is unrivaled in terms of status, role and contribution. His achievements for Cao Cao are countless. First of all, he was famous all over the world and influenced a large number of wise men to serve Cao Cao. In identifying talents, Xun? showed a higher vision than his peers and recommended Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, and Sima Yi. This team includes almost all of Cao Cao's most important advisers in his early days. At the same time, what Xun You relies on to convince others is his own moral character. He is a humble man, he is a corporal, he is not arrogant, and he is dedicated to serving the public. The famous counselor Zhong Yao admired Xun Yu so much that he called him the reborn Yan Yuan. He said, "Xun Youran is the only one who can prepare nine virtues without making any mistakes." Sima Yi did not shy away from speaking kindly and said: "From what my ears and eyes have heard and seen, for hundreds of years, there have been no talents as good as Xun Lingjun."

Xun You's talents are really difficult to describe: he was Cao Cao's sixth master, and there were countless others. , destroy Lu Bu first and then Yuan Shao, the theory of four victories and four defeats urges Cao Cao to confront Yuan Shao, the battle of Guandu advises to hold on and wait for the enemy to change, and after the victory, it is recommended to pacify Hebei to prevent the two Yuan from developing a climate, yin coming out of yang, and karma forcing Liu Cong to surrender. "Etc., these strategies have a long-term strategic vision, and they all affect the whole body, and will have a profound impact on the future situation. Some suggestions were discussed and finally adopted by Cao Cao. It can be said that Cao Cao's development from a weak separatist force to a military group competing with Yuan Shao, and then becoming the ruler of the north, is closely related to Xun? In that complicated situation, Cao Cao was in danger of "making a mistake and losing everything" at any time. Any one of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan had the possibility of competing for supremacy in the world. But why did they fail and Cao Cao win? Just because Cao Cao was able to adopt Xun You's correct opinions and follow Xun You's strategic plan to achieve success step by step, the situation during this period was complicated and changeable. In my opinion, any of Xun You's plans was not inferior to Zhuge Liang's theory of dividing the world into three parts. Xun?'s deep thinking and far-sighted vision cannot be replaced by others. Just like what Cao Cao said: The minister keeps the order of Xun? From the beginning, I raised my troops, traveled around and conquered, and worked together with him to control the king's strategy, speak and give advice, and everything was ineffective. ?'s achievements, I will help you with it, use it to cover the floating clouds, and show the light of the moon. ...The stability of the world is the result of ? The general idea of ??this passage is that if I act according to Xun Xi's plan, there will be no failure. The reason why I can bring peace to the world is all due to Xun Xi. Of course, Cao Cao's words are a bit exaggerated, but there is nothing untrue. As a ruler, it is rare for Cao Cao to have such a broad mind.

Cao Cao called Xun? "my son-in-law". Most of the time when Cao Cao was away on expeditions, Xun? Much like Xiao He. But this did not prevent him from making suggestions for Cao Cao. "Making strategic plans and winning decisively thousands of miles away" is Zhang Liang's credit, and it is also Xun Xi's style. It can be said that Xun Xi combined the talents of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and was indeed a talent "unparalleled in the world". For various reasons, Zhuge Liang's status cannot be surpassed, ranking him in second place. However, Xun Xi hindered Cao Cao from becoming the Duke of Wei. No matter what his considerations were, it violated Cao Cao's taboo. Because Cao Cao was eager to evade the power of the Han Emperor, he considered overthrowing Xun Xi's special status in Cao's camp. Before that, he treated Xun Xi He followed his advice, and if he didn't defeat him, Cao Cao would probably not be able to get what he wanted, which would lead to the tragedy of Xun's unhappy death. It is a pity that Xun Xi, a great talent with both political integrity and talent, seems to be a shooting star far away in the sky, unable to shine through the ages like Zhang Liang.

The most important subordinates of Duke Cao, like Du Ruhui of the Tang Dynasty, gave full play to their abilities, so they ranked high and their character was first-rate. He is as important as Li Si, Xiao He, Du Ruhui, Li Shanchang, Zhao Pu, and Fan Wencheng. He is probably not as smart as Wei Liao, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Liu Bowen, etc., but extremely smart people often cannot establish such a system. Achievements

First place: Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang was born in Langxieyangdu and moved to Xiangyang at the age of seventeen. He was very confident and often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, who was twenty-seven. At the age of three, he was favored by Liu Bei to visit the thatched cottage and went out to assist Liu Bei. He was treated affectionately. Liu Bei was overjoyed to receive him and said, "A solitary person has a bright hole, just like a fish has water." When he first met Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang proposed a three-point strategic plan of having Jing and Yi on both sides, and connecting with Sun Quan on the outside to wait for changes in the world, which pointed out the direction for Liu Bei's hegemony.

Soon after Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang sent an envoy to Soochow. His analysis relieved Sun Quan's doubts. The Sun-Liu alliance was formally formed and the mission was successfully completed. The Sun-Liu coalition won the Battle of Chibi. Later, Liu Bei pacified Jingzhou and appointed him as military advisor Zhonglang General, overseeing the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha. Liu Bei and Pang Tong entered Shu. After Pang Tong died in the battle, his troops were insufficient, so he transferred Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to pacify the prefectures and counties, and then surrounded Chengdu and was promoted to military advisor general.

Of course, no one is perfect, and Zhuge Liang has certain character flaws, but Zhuge Liang has always been praised by people. He exudes so many things that make people admire and learn and respect him, making his reputation immortal throughout the ages.

In fact, what Zhuge Liang left to future generations is more of a glorious image of "dedicated himself to death and died". During his reign, he tried his best to assist and acted personally. He made an indelible contribution to the Shuhan regime and won the love of the people and even the respect of his opponents. For thousands of years, he has been regarded as the synonym of wisdom, and this image lives in everyone's heart. There is no shortage of virtuous people in all dynasties. However, no matter how great their contributions and talents are, Zhuge Liang stands above them and becomes an irreplaceable embodiment of wisdom.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang ranks first. Just talking about fame is enough. Like Guan Yu, he has been deified. Others have to suffer a little. After all, humans cannot compare with gods.
