Wei Jun asked a very interesting question," Between Zhuge Liang and Mister Shui Jing, who was more intelligent?
Long Jiuxiao replied," Zhuge Liang once took Sima Hui as his teacher. Sima Hui has Zhuge Liang's talent. At the very least, he is more talented than Zhuge Liang. In fact, he is far more intelligent than Zhuge Liang."
However, because he was exceptionally noble and otherworldly, he did not seek fame and fortune. Mister Shui Jing was a low-key person, but to teach a genius like Zhuge Liang, he had to have some skills.
Therefore, Mister Shui Jing, Sima Hui, was a great hermit and a great talent at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
The story of Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, the straw boat borrowing arrows, burning the three Qi Zhou Yu behind the Red Cliff, performing the empty city stratagem, secretly entering the Chen Cang, reducing the number of soldiers and increasing the number of stoves, and Sima Yi's battle of wits and courage had probably long been known by everyone.
As for Mister Shui Jing, he could predict in advance which day Liu Bei would come to visit him. The moment he appeared, he predicted Liu Bei's awkward situation of preparing to escape. He also reminded Liu Bei, who was "confused", that he was in such a sorry state that he lacked a strategist. The moment he made his move, he was prepared to send out the two geniuses, the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick!
He was also a prophet: Zhuge Liang had not yet left the thatched cottage, but he had already determined Zhuge Liang's ending. Although he met the right person, he was born at the wrong time.
After the "Huarong Sect", Mister Shui Jing appeared again. When he saw Zhuge Liang, he did not waste any time and went straight to the point."I heard that you wanted to kill Guan Yu. How come you can't judge the world after not seeing you for a few days?”
Zhuge Liang was very dissatisfied." Guan Yu let Cao Cao go and caused my Eight Trigrams Formation to be broken. He should be killed." Why did the teacher still say that he deserved to die?”
Mister Shui Jing laughed,"Why did you kill Cao Cao?"”
Zhuge Liang replied with conviction,"Of course it's to clear the obstacles for the lord."”
Mister Shui Jing didn't think much of it. This Cao Cao is the Prime Minister. If you kill him, where will you put Emperor Xian of Han? There are no two suns in the sky and no two kings in the country. Do you want Liu Bei to kill the emperor and become emperor? Or did he want Liu Bei to replace Emperor Xian as Prime Minister? Confused! How muddle-headed! Guan Yu accidentally saved your life!”
Her words woke him up from his dream! After Zhuge Liang heard this, he was enlightened and felt a chill down his spine…This was the saying," Everything is under control, don't be wise after the fact."
Mister Shui Jing had already said,"You get the master, but you don't get the time" when Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei. He had long been aware of the future development trend!
Because at that time, Mister Shui Jing had already seen the world. Cao Cao had already firmly occupied two-thirds of the world, and it was the most advantageous area in all aspects. Whether it was manpower, material resources, or geographical resources, they were far superior to Liu Bei's forces. Therefore, Cao Cao could crush Liu Bei. The "time" that Shui Jing mentioned was actually this situation. The times must be coordinated, and the times must create heroes.
Mister Shui Jing knew that the situation was like this, but why did he still recommend Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei?
Because he knew that Zhuge Liang was a horse of a thousand li, and Liu Bei was a Bole.
In the end, Mister Shui Jing convinced his most prized disciple, Zhuge Liang, to assist Liu Bei. Another reason was that he did not want Liu Bei to become a real " village bumpkin ". As a teacher, he also hoped that Zhuge Liang would " surpass his master ". He did not want such a peerless genius to be buried like this. This was perhaps the greatest wish of a teacher!
Mr. Nice Guy's Allusion:
The modern idiom 'Mr. Nice Guy' came from Mr. Shui Jing. Long Jiuxiao was speechless!
The story was about when Sima Hui lived in ancient Xiangyang, his neighbor wanted to borrow something from him, and he said,"Okay, okay" regardless of whether he had it or not. When others asked him for his opinion, he would always say,"Okay, okay."
In Sima Hui's eyes, there was no difference between good and bad. No matter who he met, he would only say good.
There was a time when a friend's son died and he cried to him. He opened his mouth and said," Okay, okay." This was bad. He was scolded by his friend.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, Sima Hui was called "Mr. Nice Guy", and the idiom "Mr. Nice Guy" came from this. In later generations, Mr. Nice Guy referred to people who did not adhere to their principles and people who did not dare or want to offend anyone.
From then on, he was known as Mr. Nice Guy and ridiculed for a thousand years.
Little did he know that the political struggle at that time was very sharp and complicated. He pretended to be confused, did not argue with others, did not ask about right and wrong, and only sought peace. Mister Shui Jing knew people well and would never fight for power with others in his life.
There were also people who said that Mister Shui Jing was a nice guy and that he was absolutely " mediocre ". However, Long Jiuxiao didn't think so. Speaking of realms, Mister Shui Jing might be higher than Zhuge Liang. He had seen through the ending of " a dream, an empty dream, a dream comes to nothing " in troubled times. His peaceful attitude had made him " let go ". Only those who were good at letting go would be enlightened! Only by giving up can there be gains! Zhuge Liang had also seen through it, but he just couldn't let it go.
But even this good sir, oh, the students taught by Mister Shui Jing, were all top notch, like the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix. Needless to say, even Xu Shu and Meng Gongwei were famous ministers in the court.
One teacher and three famous disciples. Any one of them could influence the history of the Three Kingdoms.
This teacher, Sima Hui, did not claim credit for himself, nor was he greedy for credit. He raised his head from the muddy waters of the war and breathed in the fresh air from a high place. He watched the fish fight in the water and naturally ended up with the leisure of a mountain scholar.
His few words had pointed out the universe and fixed history. His finishing touch was like a divine help. He had the ability and the opportunity, but he had always been a bystander of the three countries, quietly witnessing this history that was filled with blood and tears. It was indeed a mysterious great hermit during the Three Kingdoms period! A true expert among experts!
As for Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, other than Mr. Good Guy, there were also a few short stories such as Pushing Pigs and People, Farming in the Garden, and Borrowing Silkworms.
Pushing pigs to people
Someone once lost a pig and said that Sima Hui's pig was the one he lost.
Faced with such an unreasonable request, Sima Hui did not defend himself and gave the pig to this person. A few days later, the man found the pig he had lost earlier. He hurriedly returned Sima Hui's pig and kowtowed to blame himself. Not only did Sima Hui not scold him, but he also thanked him for sending the pig back.
Cultivate in the garden
Once, Liu Biao's son Liu Cong went to see Sima Hui. Liu Cong asked his entourage to ask if Sima Hui was at home.
Sima Hui was farming at home and replied," I am."
However, the condescending follower did not believe him and scolded him,"You're just a farming slave and you dare to call yourself Sima Hui?”
Therefore, Sima Hui had to go home, comb his hair, put on a turban, put on a coat and then come to see Liu Cong. Image was very important in social situations.
The attendant saw that Sima Hui was still the old man and told him in horror. This lowly person was very ashamed, and was simply too ashamed to show his face!
Liu Cong also quickly stood up and kowtowed to Sima Hui, apologizing to him.
Sima Hui calmly said to Liu Cong,""You don't have to do this. I'm very ashamed of this. I farm by myself, only you understand me.”
Borrow a cluster of silkworms
Once, someone raised silkworms that should spin cocoons, but had nowhere to go, so he came to borrow cluster foil from Sima Hui's family. (Long Jiuxiao explained,"A cluster is a clump of wheat straw used by silkworms to spin cocoons. Foil, Mat for Silkworm Rearing)
Sima Hui then lent him his family's cocooning foil.
Someone said to him,"When you lend something to others, it is when others are in urgent need and you are idle." And now that he and she urgently needed the cluster foil, why should they give it to others?”
Sima Hui replied,"There are others who have not begged me, but have asked me for help. If I don't give it to them, they will feel very ashamed." Where was there any reason to be ashamed of money?”
There was even more in-depth content. It was actually verified that Sima Hui and Sima Yi were the same clan within eight lifetimes. They were both descendants of Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty.
The real director of the history of the Three Kingdoms was this Mister Shui Jing!
The so-called Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, and so on were all just minor characters. The real mastermind behind the scenes was Mister Shui Jing. His scheme directly contributed to the Sima Clan's eventual victory.
It could be seen that it was really too mysterious. It was a wonderful performance by the fans of the Three Kingdoms, but it also showed Mr. Shui Jing's popularity.
Long Jiuxiao had already said,"
It could be said that the Three Kingdoms originated from Sima and ended with Sima. However, this Sima was not that Sima!
This viewpoint remained unchanged! Continue to insist on your own views!
Why didn't Mister Shui Jing recommend Sima Yi to Liu Bei? But Zhuge and Pang Tong?
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, and Jiang Wei each had a very domineering title. If they wanted to come out and mingle in the martial world, they had to come up with a domineering name. Just like Long Jiuxiao. Hehe, Long Jiuxiao only knew how to flatter himself.
The four of them were the Crouching Dragon, the Young Phoenix, the Graveyard Tiger, and the Young Lin.
Moreover, they all had the talent to help the world, to stabilize the country, and to live up to this title.
For example, Zhuge Liang's contribution covered the three kingdoms. Pang Tong offered a plan to capture Xichuan, Sima Yi endured for many years and finally had the last laugh. Jiang Wei, on the other hand, killed three wise men at once after the destruction of Shu Han.
Liu Bei had been in Jingzhou from 201 to 208 AD. Jiang Wei was still young, and Jiang Wei, who was born in 202, was still a child. Moreover, he was far away in Xiliang. It was reasonable that Sima Hui did not recommend him.
But why didn't he mention Sima Yi's name?
Was it because he thought that Sima Yi was not as talented as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong?
The answer was no. Long Jiuxiao believed that there were several reasons why he did not mention Sima Yi.
1. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are my students
In ancient China, respecting teachers was an excellent tradition. Sima Hui was a man of great ability, just like Feng Shui. It was also like choosing a bull stock in the stock market!
Sima Hui was willing to discuss current affairs with Liu Bei, which showed that Liu Bei had already obtained his approval. In his opinion, Liu Bei could achieve great things. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were both his students. If they could follow Liu Bei to achieve great things, then he could also become famous. Although Sima Yi shared the same surname as him, he had no relationship with him. It was useless for him to recommend him.
2. He had interacted with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong before, so he was more familiar with them.
Sima Hui should be quite familiar with Zhuge Liang. As for Pang Tong, he was even more familiar with him. The discussion between the two of them had long become a legend.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms: "Tong went to see Hui at the age of twenty. Hui picked mulberry leaves on the tree and sat under the tree, talking from day to night. Yuan Hui was very surprised and said that Yuan Tong should be the crown of Nanzhou scholars.”。
Having known them for a long time, he had a good understanding of their talents and character. It was normal for him to recommend them to Liu Bei.
However, there was no record of Sima Yi and Sima Hui's relationship in the historical records. It was not even certain whether Sima Hui knew about the existence of Zhong Hu, so why would he recommend him?
3. Sima Yi Is Not Here
Sima Yi was the son of Sima Fang, the governor of the capital at the end of the Han Dynasty. When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he fled with his brother Sima Lang back to his hometown, Wen County, Hanoi Prefecture, which was now Wen County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province.
Sima Hui lived in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, which is now Yuzhou, Henan Province, and later moved to Shuijingzhuang. The two places were nearly 200 kilometers apart.
At that time, Liu Bei was just a small county magistrate of Xinye, and he could only recruit talents from the local area.
A small company couldn't possibly go around the world to recruit! The cost was not worth it. Moreover, Liu Bei, who was poor, could not afford a high salary!
4. Sima Yi has no intention of becoming an official
In the year 201, Sima Yi had already been recommended by the county. However, after seeing through the decline of the Han Dynasty, he refused to take up his post and even pretended to be ill.
It wasn't until 208 AD when Cao Cao threatened Sima Yi that he couldn't take Cao Cao's orders.
It was also the time when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou and the time when Sima Hui died. The two of them had already separated, so there was no chance!
Moreover, would such a person be willing to help Liu Bei, who had no place to stand? Long Jiuxiao expressed his doubts, deep doubts!
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were different. Before Zhuge Liang left the mountain, he had been looking for a wise ruler. Pang Tong had also long been an official. As long as Liu Bei was sincere enough, these two would definitely be useful to him. This might be one of the reasons why Sima Hui recommended Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong over Sima Yi.
What were the standards of Boling's Cui Zhouping, Yingchuan's Shi Guangyuan, and Runan's Meng Gongwei?
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were on the same level, so they could at least put up a fight. However, many people used Pang Tong's death as an example. As the saying went,"A wise man will make a mistake after a thousand considerations." Zhuge Liang had also been defeated by Jiang Wei once.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were almost on the same level.
Xu Shu was slightly lower than the two, but higher than Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei.
If he was compared to Xun Yu, he would not be able to compare to him. He was more than one level inferior.
Cui Zhouping successively served as Huben Zhonglang General and Xihe Prefecture. Because of his participation in Dong Zhuo's crusade, his father was detained by Dong Zhuo. Later, he traveled to Jingxiang and made friends with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Yuan Zhi.
