The ten most unforgotten talents in the history of the Three Kingdoms!
[Copy link]
NO10 Chen Deng
Chen Yuanlong has a general status in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was only mentioned as an insider when Cao Cao recruited Lu Bu. It gives people the impression that he is just a small-time plotter whose talent is not worthy of being mentioned in the hall of elegance. Not to mention compared with contemporary heroes such as Kong Ming and Zhong Da, there is a certain gap even compared with second-rate characters such as Guo Jia and Cheng Yu. But is it really like this in history? No. Once a man named Xu Si came from Guangling and talked about Chen Deng with Liu Biao, who was staying with Liu Biao at that time. Mr. Xu, who was also listening to their conversation, complained: "Chen Deng is so rude. A famous scholar like me will be welcomed everywhere. But he refused to welcome me. He asked for accommodation, but he slept on the big comfortable bed while I slept on the floor. This guy is rude and I don't think he can accomplish anything." Liu Biao agreed. Liu Bei sneered and said: "I know Yuanlong too well. He thinks about worldly affairs and hates quibbling with boring literati. You only know how to He was full of romantic feelings, petty bourgeois sentiments, and his words and deeds were devoid of any real insight. "Yuanlong was still polite to you. If it were me, I would sleep in a hundred-foot-high building, dig a hole in the ground for you to sleep, and even make a bed for you." He turned back and said solemnly to Liu Biao, "The courage and wisdom of Chen Yuanlong in both civil and military affairs can only be compared with the ancient saints. I think few contemporary figures can surpass him." Liu Bei praised such a person, but Cao Cao did not take him seriously. After destroying Lu Bu, Cao Cao only let Chen Deng be the governor of Guangling. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, he almost drew away the elite troops from all states and counties, and the defense in the south was quite empty. At this time, Sun Ce in the south of the Yangtze River began to make moves and crossed the Yangtze River to attack Guangling.
Chen Deng had very few soldiers and his men were in a panic. However, Chen Deng said calmly, "Although Sun Ce is brave and has many soldiers, he does not know the real situation here. I think we still have a chance to defeat him." So he ordered the soldiers to pull down all the flags from the city walls and not allow the people in the city to move around casually, as if they were scared away by Sun Ce. He ordered the soldiers to set up more fires and war drums at the dangerous places on both sides of the road leading to Guangling. When Sun Ce's army arrived, they did not rush to attack the city when they saw the situation in Guangling. Instead, they camped in the south of the city to spy on the real situation. At night, Chen Deng ordered all places to beat fire drums together, and suddenly put all the flags on his own city, beat drums and shouted. Sun Ce was frightened and fled quickly. Chen Deng ordered the soldiers to go out of the city to chase him and capture all the baggage behind him. This battle made Cao Cao look at Chen Deng with new eyes. When he was about to use him, Chen Deng fell ill and died. Cao Cao regretted it for a long time. When Chen Deng just surrendered, he told Cao Cao about the strategy of conquering Jiangnan, but Cao Cao didn't take it seriously. After Sun Quan's power in Jiangdong gradually stabilized, Cao Cao inspected Hefei, looked at the Yangtze River in the distance, and sighed for a long time. He said to his subordinates: "I really hate myself for not using Chen Deng's strategy earlier!?
A generation of genius died young, which makes people sigh.

NO9 Cao
Zhi If Cao Zhi's talent was just to chant the wind and play with the moon, there would be nothing to regret, but it was not the case in history. Cao Cao had very strict requirements for his children, and cultivated them carefully according to their talents. For example, the eldest son Cao Pi was a good hand in government affairs and wrote very good poems; the second son Cao Zhang was brave and heroic. Cao Cao constantly criticized him for being brave but not wise, and urged him to read more and learn the art of war. Later, Cao Zhang grew up to be an outstanding general. In the late Jian'an period, he led 50,000 Youzhou soldiers to conquer the northern ethnic minorities and wiped out the Wuzhou in one fell swoop. But Cao Cao's favorite was his third son, Cao Zhi. Needless to say, Cao Cao was very satisfied with his literary talent, so he paid attention to giving him guidance and inspiration in politics and military affairs. For example, when Cao Cao went south to conquer Sun Quan, he asked Cao Zhi to garrison Ye County, Yuan Shao's old nest, which had just been pacified, and let him serve as a local official for two years to exercise his ability to handle complicated government affairs. Before leaving, he taught him, "You are 23 years old this year, not young anymore. When I was your age, I was the commander of the Luoyang garrison and killed the domineering eunuchs with a stick. You have to take care of yourself. "Cao Zhi was very excited to hear this, and he worked diligently. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask experienced people like Xian Yu Fu for advice. He managed Ye very well, and Cao Cao was very satisfied. At this time, he had already thought of making him the prince. Later, in the 24th year of Jian'an, Guan Yu led his troops to annihilate Yu Jin and others, and shocked China.
Cao Cao's career was at a critical juncture. If Guan Yu conquered Fancheng, there would be no defense south of the Yellow River, and the army would go straight to Xuchang. At this time, rebellions would break out. At this critical juncture, a trusted general must be sent to rescue Fancheng. Cao Cao thought of Cao Zhi and appointed him as the General of the Southern Army to serve as the commander-in-chief to resist Guan Yu. At this time, Cao Pi tricked Cao Zhi into his mansion and got him drunk. As a result, Cao Cao was furious and dismissed Cao Zhi in a rage. This made Cao Zhi lose the opportunity to command an elite army. If Cao Zhi had firmly grasped the military power at this time, occupied Wancheng, and cooperated with Guan Cao Pi would never be able to become emperor if Cao Zhang, who had an army of 100,000 in the west, was not in a position to rule. We all know what happened later. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he immediately suppressed Cao Zhi and exiled him to Shandong for custody. After Cao Rui ascended the throne, he gradually relaxed his custody of Cao Zhi and gave him considerable freedom. It was at this time that Cao Zhi submitted the "Request for Self-Examination" which was recorded in history. I read this table, which detailed the situation of the Three Kingdoms and proposed a set of strategies for fighting against Wu and Shu in combination with Cao Cao's experience in using troops. The article was very touching, and it wrote: "I am willing to be a partial school officer, or belong to the great general Cao Zhen in the west to charge on land; or belong to the great Sima Cao Xiu in the east to ride on rivers; I must capture Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang to fulfill the last wish of the late emperor. If I can fight for this ideal, I will have no regrets even if I die. "But how could Cao Rui let him get what he wanted? He just wrote four bland words: His ambition is commendable. The last generation of masters died in the mountains.
NO8 Wei Yan
After Liu Bei conquered and pacified Hanzhong, he once considered that such an important place must be guarded by an experienced and brave general. At that time, people thought that this role must belong to Zhang Fei. Liu Bei had three brothers. He guarded Xichuan, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Hanzhong should naturally be given to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei really thought so, and he was ready to take office. As a result, Liu Bei announced that the prefect of Hanzhong was Wei Yan! The whole army was stunned. At the appointment ceremony, Liu Bei solemnly asked Wei: "How do you plan to defend my Hanzhong?" Wei's neck was stiff, and he answered stiffly: "If Cao Cao personally leads all the troops in the world to attack, then I will use the city and dangerous places to resist. If only a general leads 100,000 troops to harass, I will open the city gate to fight and annihilate him all! "Liu Bei was very happy. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu after fighting in the Nanzhong area. He had just settled down and his troops had not had time to rest. Wei's generals Guo Huai and Fei Yao attacked the Qiang people in Liangzhou to destroy the alliance between the Qiang people and Shu Han. At this time, Zhuge Liang said to Wei Yan: "I don't have any extra soldiers to give you. You can take the existing soldiers in Hanzhong to rescue the Qiang people." Wei Yan smiled: "Why do I have to mobilize the country's troops? I can lead a team of personal soldiers and command the Qiang people to defeat this bunch of bastards." "So he secretly sneaked into the Qiang tribe with a small number of light and sharp soldiers, commanding a group of ethnic minority soldiers whose organization was broken to defeat the Wei army in the Yangxi area. Zhuge Liang was so happy that he immediately appointed him as the General of the Western Expedition and the Marquis of Nanzheng, a position much higher than Zhao Yun. Unfortunately, this was the first and last time Wei Yan led troops alone. In the subsequent six expeditions to the mountains, Wei was always a subordinate general under Zhuge Liang. Wei Yan often lamented that his talents were not fully tapped, and he became more and more resentful. In the important position of guarding Jieting, Zhuge Liang did not use an experienced general like Wei Yan, but used Ma Su, a flashy thing. No wonder Chen Shou later said: Zhuge Liang's adaptability was not his forte.

NO7 Huan Fan
If Cao Shuang had trusted him, there might not be any Sima family in the world. When the Weiqiao mutiny took place, there was chaos in China and abroad, the situation was unclear, and the ministers were at a loss. At this time, there was one person who was sober, and that was Grand Minister of Agriculture Huan Fan. He acted decisively, grabbed the Grand Minister of Agriculture's seal, broke through the gates and locked the locks, and broke out of Luoyang. When Sima Yi heard the news of his escape, he stamped his feet and sighed, "Oh no, something bad is going to happen, the think tank has escaped." Jiang Ji said to Sima, "It's okay, he is naturally scary, but I don't think Cao Shuang, that coward, would dare to listen to his advice." When Huan Fan arrived at the chaotic Cao Shuang army, he immediately analyzed the situation soberly and said passionately, "It's less than half a night from here to Xuchang, and the food and grass in the city are enough to support it for several years. The seal of the Grand Sima, which can mobilize the troops of the world, is in my hands now! What are you afraid of? Moreover, with the emperor in your hands, commanding the world under the banner of the emperor, the generals in the country will know who to follow at a glance!" But Cao Shuang, the coward, still didn't dare to do so, and said something extremely cowardly, "I don't expect to be in power now, I can go home and guard a few acres of land and be a rich man." Huan Fan cried and cursed angrily, "Your father Cao Zhen was a Chinese character who stood tall and upright, but how come the son he gave birth to is dumber than a pig!!!"

NO6 Jiang Wei
In comparison , he was relatively lucky, having become the General of the Western Expedition at the age of 27. Zhuge Liang praised him, saying, "Jiang Boyao is both civil and military, and has extraordinary courage. He is also loyal to the Han Dynasty. He is really a treasure of Liangzhou! I think we can let him train the elite Tiger Infantry. When the war is over, I will take him to see the emperor." Zhuge Liang's valued talent suffered at the hands of Fei Yi. Fei was talented, but he was more casual and had no great ambitions. Jiang Wei repeatedly told him about the crusade against Wei, but Fei lazily said, "We are far behind the prime minister. What the prime minister has not done, can we do?" Sometimes, he couldn't stand Jiang's nagging, so he gave him a few thousand people and asked him to harass the border of Wei. Later, after Fei died, Jiang Wei was like a tiger out of the cage, leading tens of thousands of people to crusade against Liangzhou, defeating Wei in Taoxi and annihilating tens of thousands of people. This was the greatest victory achieved by Shu Han on the western front since Liu Bei's Battle of Hanzhong.
If Chen Tai had not been so bold and decisive to attack the enemy by surprise, the entire Liang Province would have been annexed by Shu Han (even a fierce man like Deng Ai said at the time that Jiang Wei was too powerful and should be avoided, or it would be better to give up Liang Province.) Later, Jiang was excluded from Shu Han and went to Tazhong to cultivate land. At this time, Jiang Wei suggested strengthening the defense at Yangping Pass and Yinping Bridge, but none of the Shu Han monarchs and ministers took it seriously. Later, Zhong Hui conquered Yangping and seized Hanzhong, and Deng Ai sneaked across Yinping and went straight to Chengdu. The development of things was just as Jiang expected. At this time, Jiang moved to Jiange. When he heard that Deng had arrived at the city of Chengdu, he suggested that Zhuge Zhan should not go out and fight Deng head-on, but just defend the dangerous areas around Mianyang. Deng Xuanjun went deep into the city and did not have enough food and grass, so he would naturally be finished. But Zhuge Zhan did not listen and went out to fight, and was indeed defeated by Deng. Jiang Wei had not given up at this time, and asked Liu Chan to organize the defense of Chengdu and wait for his return. But Liu Chan surrendered. When Jiang Wei heard the news, he drew his sword and chopped the stones on the roadside with hatred!!!
Later, at the celebration banquet in Chengdu, Deng Ai scratched his gray head and said drunkenly: "Jiang Boyue is indeed a hero of the contemporary era. It's a pity that he met such a master, and of course, he met me, so he had nowhere to go."

NO5 Liao Li
didn't know whether this person had real ability. Anyway, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, his performance was not seen much. However, there is such a record in the history books. After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou. He began to carefully investigate talents. At this time, Zhuge Liang said: "It is enough to find two people, one is Pang Tong and the other is Liao Li. Others are nonsense." Liu Bei found these two. When he entered Sichuan, Liu Bei took one of them, that is, Pang Tong. Pang Tong died, so he asked Zhuge Liang to enter Sichuan and put Liao Li in Jingzhou. Later, Jingzhou was defeated, Liao Li fled back to Xichuan, and Liu Bei made him the Minister of the Court and the Lieutenant of Changshui. However, Liao Li felt that his talent was not limited to this position, and he looked down on Li Yan. He was not convinced that Li climbed above him, so he complained. Zhuge Liang could tolerate it at first, but later he felt that this guy was getting more and more out of tune, so he dismissed him.
Liao Li later settled in the ethnic minority area of Wenshan. Later, when Jiang Wei attacked Weiguo and passed through Wenshan, he went to visit Liao Li. Liao Li held his neck and ignored him, and Jiang Wei had no choice. I really don’t understand why this guy is so arrogant? Logically speaking, if it was really flashy, Zhuge Liang would not recommend him so much, and even compared him with Pang Tong. But it’s hard to say, Zhuge Liang made mistakes a lot. This selection is a bit forced, but there are many such people nowadays. I don’t know if he is really capable or fake, and he is not doing well, but he looks down on everyone. There is such a guy in our company.

NO4 Ma Chao
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao’s life experience is very tragic. His family of more than 300 people were deceived and slaughtered by Cao Cao. After failing to defeat Cao Cao, he returned to Gansu. His two sons were killed by his trusted generals. Finally, he surrendered to Liu Bei, and finally saw the light of day. He was fully trusted by Liu Bei, and he had been in charge of the important task of holding Hanzhong. He was awarded the title of General of the Cavalry, and spent his last years happily in honor and favor. Many people sympathized with him but felt little comfort. However, in history, Ma Chao lived a very depressed and painful life after surrendering to Liu Bei. He had almost no friends, and was excluded and suppressed everywhere, and spent the second half of his life in fear.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that he died after Zhuge Liang's conquest of Nanzhong and before the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. It is speculated that it was about the fifth or sixth year of Jian'an, but in history he died very early, in the second year of Zhangwu, when he was only forty-seven years old. When Ma Chao died, he wrote a very short and sad memorial to Liu Bei: My whole family was killed by Cao Cao, I have no relatives, not even a descendant, only my younger brother Ma Dai, please take good care of me, I will be grateful in the underground. Why did this famous general who led the Liangzhou rebellion and swept across Guanxi end up in such a tragic situation? This has to start with his life experience.
Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, was not lured to Xuchang by Cao Cao at that time. He voluntarily surrendered to Cao Cao. In order to appease the princes of Liangzhou, Cao Cao treated him well and appointed him as Weiwei. Ma Teng also moved his family to Xuchang, preparing to live a comfortable and happy life in the second half of his life. But later, when Cao Cao planned to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Zhong Yao advised Cao Cao: Don't rush to attack. If we send troops westward from Chang'an, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Ma Chao and Han Sui, who will think that we are using the passage to attack Guo. Cao Cao didn't listen. Maybe he thought that Ma Chao had a hostage in his hands, and he was afraid to rebel; maybe he just wanted to provoke Ma Chao to rebel and solve the only force that could threaten him in the north. He spread the word that he was going to send troops to Hanzhong.
As expected, Ma Chao ignored his father and family and really rebelled. Cao Cao immediately killed more than 300 members of Ma Chao's family and defeated Ma Chao in the Tongguan area. Ma Chao retreated back to Gansu, but he did not give up. Instead, he united with the Qiang tribe to continue to oppose Cao Cao. After several years of hard work, in the 18th year of Jian'an, Ma Chao almost controlled all of Liangzhou. Later, when Xiahou Yuan went west, Ma Chao's internal divisions appeared. His wife and two sons were killed by his generals. In desperation, Ma Chao surrendered to Zhang Lu. But how could a hero like Ma Chao be limited by Zhang Lu? He was too outstanding and too loud, and compared the incompetent and mediocre people under Zhang Lu to be petty. Someone slandered him and said: Ma Chao is a person who cannot be trusted. He can even sell out his own father, let alone his master? Zhang Lu really guarded against Ma Chao very strictly after hearing this. This is a bit like Lu Bu at the beginning. He was very capable, but he was also a failure as a person.
Later, when Liu Bei went west to attack Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu considered that if Liu Zhang was finished, he would not be well either, so he sent Ma Chao to attack Liu Bei at Jiameng Pass. Liu Bei was attacking Chengdu with all his strength at that time, and had no extra troops to deal with Ma Chao. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals were sweeping the periphery of Chengdu and did not participate in the battle with Ma Chao. He only sent Li Hui to persuade him to surrender. Ma Chao had not been doing well with Zhang Lu, and this time he sent troops just to use his reputation to deter him. He did not have the command power, so he followed Li Hui to surrender to Liu Bei. After Ma Chao surrendered, he came to Liu Bei's army in Chengdu. Liu Bei was very happy and immediately spread the word that Ma Chao had come to surrender. At that time, Liu Zhang was still prepared to fight and wait for foreign aid, but when he heard that Ma Chao had returned to Liu Bei, he immediately lost his confidence in holding on and surrendered the city.
After Liu Bei pacified Xichuan, he gave Ma Chao an official title - Pingxi General, the highest-ranking military officer in Liu Bei's camp. But Ma Chao was so famous that no one in Liu Bei's camp could compare to him. Guan Yu was a little jealous of Ma Chao, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang to ask about Ma Chao's talent (Guan Yu did not mention Xichuan and Ma Chao's competition at that time). Zhuge Liang replied: Ma Chao is both civil and military, heroic and brave, just like Ying Bu and Peng Yue at the founding of the Han Dynasty, and can be on par with Zhang Fei, but he can't compare to your transcendence. We all know that Guan Yu's temper likes to flatter in an extraordinary way. He took out the letter and spread it all over the world to suppress Ma Chao. Ma Chao himself also had problems. He was careless. At that time, Liu Bei's identity was only the left general of the Han Dynasty. Ma Chao didn't respect Liu Bei very much when he met him. He always called Liu Bei's name directly, such as: Hi, Xuande. This made Liu Bei very uncomfortable, and Zhang Fei couldn't stand it either, always wanting to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. Later, Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to attack Jingzhou, and Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Ma Chao along the waterway to the public security experts and Guan Yu to join.
At a military meeting, Guan Zhang deliberately came to Liu Bei early, and Ma Chao didn't know, but he came in carelessly and shouted: Hi, Xuande. Guan Yu got angry at the time, and he and Zhang Fei drew their swords and ordered Ma Chao to kneel down to Liu Bei. Ma Chao was frightened at the time, his whole back was sweaty, and he knelt down with a plop, and never dared to disrespect Liu Bei again. This incident touched Ma Chao a lot, and since then Ma Chao has become cautious and careful, and behaved with his tail between his legs. We all know that if a general loses his character, his talent will be annihilated. In the later campaign against Hanzhong, Ma Chao's performance made Liu Bei quite dissatisfied. The prestige that swept across Guanxi was completely gone. He stumbled and fought with Cao Hong, and even lost to an old Huang Zhong. Ma Chao's prestige was also declining day by day. After Hanzhong was pacified, Liu Bei would rather use Wei Yan to guard it than Ma Chao. In his heart, Liu Bei was deeply wary of Ma Chao.
After returning to Chengdu, a big thing happened. A man named Peng Yang was not valued by Liu Bei, and he was full of complaints and talked nonsense everywhere. He had a good personal relationship with Ma Chao. Once he got drunk, he said a few disrespectful words to Liu Bei in Ma Chao's apartment. We know that Ma Chao was very sensitive after being stimulated. At that time, his situation was "returning home from a journey, always in fear" - "Records of the Three Kingdoms. Shu Shu. Biography of Ma Chao", and he immediately reported to Liu Bei, and finally Liu Bei killed Peng Yang. Such a thing is actually quite shameful if it is spread out. People trust you, regard you as a friend, and say a few words to you from the heart, but you turn around and sell them out. From then on, everyone would stay away from Ma Chao, and no one dared to provoke him.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, became more petty and cautious, and spent the rest of his life in loneliness and depression. In the second year of Zhangwu, he passed away at the age of 47. Looking at Ma Chao's life, one cannot help but sigh for this talented but embarrassed general. This famous general who joined the army at the age of 17 and defeated Guo Yuanwei's town in Hedong at the age of 20 ended his second half of his life in such a miserable way. Among them, there were reasons for Liu Bei's mountain-topism, and more of it was his own failure as a person.
Regret Index: 8.5
NO3 Huang Quan
Huang Quan and Liu Ba are not outstanding in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but they are the characters that Liu Bei valued very much during his lifetime. For example, Huang Quan can even be said to be the general that Liu Bei relied on most after Guan and Zhang, and he was more favored than Ma Chao. Huang Quan was originally a subordinate of Liu Zhang, and like Liu Ba, he was very opposed to forming an alliance with Liu Bei.
Later, after Liu Bei conquered Chengdu, he also showed toughness and integrity, but what kind of person is Liu Bei? He finally took down Huang Quan by soft grinding and promises. Liu Bei found out through his conversation with Huang Quan that this man was both civil and military, and he really stood out among the surrendered generals. From then on, he fell in love with him completely, and Huang Quan embarked on the road to success.
In the spring of the 20th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went to Hanzhong to attack Zhang Lu. Huang Quan said to Liu Bei: Hanzhong is too important. We can't stand idly by. We have to send troops to rescue Zhang Lu. Liu Bei said: Okay, I think I'll leave this matter to you. So Huang Quan set off to Baxi to gather troops, but Zhang Lu was too weak to resist. He was finished after five months of resistance. Huang Quan failed to accomplish his task and had to return to Chengdu. But Huang Quan's "Hanzhong complex" has never been there. Later, Cao Cao placed Xiahou Yuan to guard Hanzhong and went back himself. Huang Quan and Fa Zheng urged Liu Bei to take Hanzhong as soon as possible. Liu Bei listened to him and finally took Hanzhong after years of hard fighting.
In the second year of Zhangwu, Huang Quan followed Liu Bei to attack Dongwu. Liu Bei's advancement speed was very fast. Huang Quan said to Liu Bei anxiously: We have entered the enemy's territory too deep. It is easy to get into trouble. We have to slow down a bit! Liu Bei did not listen. Huang Quan had no choice but to persuade Liu Bei again: Your own identity is too important. Don't always serve as the vanguard of the army. If you are frustrated, it will have a great impact on morale. Otherwise, let me be the vanguard. If I encounter setbacks, it will not ruin the overall situation. Liu Bei still did not listen and said to Huang Quan: It's okay, you can't be the vanguard. You have to help me protect the flank in Jiangbei to prevent Cao Pi from attacking us from Wancheng. This responsibility is even greater. Later, Liu Bei was defeated. Huang Quan could not return home in Jiangbei, so he had to surrender to Cao Pi. At that time, all the ministers advised Liu Bei to kill Huang Quan's family. Liu Bei said: Forget it, Huang Quan is worthy of me. If he had listened to him, he would never have been defeated so badly. He had no choice. Cao Pi also respected Huang Quan and gave him a high position as a general.
Huang Quan was a very serious person, with a face as stiff as water, and he never had any expression. No one had ever seen his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Sima Yi was very skeptical and always wanted to see what Huang Quan looked like after losing his composure. He sent someone to secretly pull out the pins on Huang Quan's wheels and secretly hid on the way to court to watch the fun. Sure enough, Huang Quan's car suddenly broke apart with a crash halfway through the road. Huang Quan, still without any expression, got up, dusted off the dirt, and left as if nothing had happened. After Sima Yi saw it, he was secretly impressed and told everyone that Huang Quan was an incredible person, as serious as Mount Tai and as deep as a well. But in Wei, Huang Quan never led troops and never made a big splash. Perhaps he was grateful for Liu Bei's kindness, and lived in a muddle. Liu Bei also missed Huang Quan. Later, when he met Ma Zhong (the Ma Zhong who followed Zhuge Liang six times out of the mountains, not the Ma Zhong of Dongwu who tripped Guan Yu), he said: Alas, you really look a bit like Huang Quan. Although I don't have Gong Heng (Huang Quan's name), I got you. It can be seen that there is no shortage of talents in the world, but people don't pay attention.

NO2 Tian Yu
When Tian Yu was young, he worked under Gongsun Zan and was not valued. At that time, Liu Bei also stayed with Gongsun Zan. After meeting Tian Yu, Liu liked this little guy very much and chatted with him. As they chatted, they became more and more surprised and found that Tian Yu was really talented. Later, Tian Yu didn't do well, and his old mother happened to be sick, so he resigned and went home. Liu Bei was particularly reluctant to let him go. He held Tian's hand and cried, "I really hate that I have no luck and cannot accomplish great things with you."
Later, Wang Men, a general under Gongsun Zan, colluded with Yuan Shao to rebel and attacked Gongsun Zan's Youzhou city. Gongsun Zan was scared to death. At this time, Tian returned to Gongsun's shogunate and said, "I will go and talk to Wang." He went to Wang's military camp and talked for a long time, but no one knew what he said. Anyway, when he left the military tent, Wang Men's face turned red with shame, so he withdrew his troops. Later, Gongsun Zan died. The people in Youzhou recommended Xianyu Fu as the leader, and Tian went to Xianyu. Xianyu was afraid of Yuan Shao's strength and wanted to surrender. Tian said, "Yuan Shao is a piece of shit. I think it's better to surrender to Cao Cao." Later, Tian worked under Cao Cao. He understood the customs and customs of the north and was very good at using military strategies. When Cao Zhang attacked Wuhuan, Tian was the chief counselor in the army and gave Cao Zhang many good ideas. Cao Zhang admired him very much and recommended him to Cao Cao, who was immediately interested in him and appointed him as the governor of Youzhou.
Tian had made outstanding military achievements in the north, including defeating the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Liaodong, which was almost the northern vassal of Wei. He also carefully trained the Youzhou soldiers and the surrendered minority cavalry, and provided a large number of elite soldiers and war horses to the country every year. He was the main exporter of Wei's soldiers. The most brave and skilled soldiers fighting on the western and southern fronts all came from Youzhou. Tian's contribution was so great, but he was never promoted. Why? He gave all the gold, silver, and red treasures he got after conquering the city to his subordinates, so his subordinates fought very hard. Some people in the court began to say that Tian You did not give the emperor good things, but enjoyed them himself, and that he was too promiscuous in rewarding his subordinates. Emperor Cao Rui especially liked jewelry, and when he heard that Tian You had not handed it over, he hated Tian, so he did not promote him for many years. Later, when Sima Yi came to power, he wanted to promote him. He wrote
an angry letter to Sima: "I am over 70 years old, my beard is white, why should I promote you?"
NO1 Pang Tong
I have always felt that Pang Tong's ability to adapt is better than Zhuge Liang's. For example, after entering Sichuan, the subtle relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei changed every day, and Pang Tong could always formulate the most appropriate response strategy.
In the end, the two Lius turned against each other at Fushui, and Liu Zhang had already begun to make arrangements to deal with Liu Bei. At this time, Pang Tong formulated three strategies: the best strategy was to take Chengdu directly with light cavalry; the middle strategy was to immediately conquer Fuguan, and the worst strategy was to go back. He resolved Liu Bei's dilemma in the moment of crisis, and Liu Bei relied more on Pang Tong from then on. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. Pang Tong died at the age of 36. If he lived to the age of Zhuge Liang, how much more could he have done for the Shu Han regime?
