Is Zhuge Liang the most powerful counselor in history?

Zhuge Liang is a rare politician in the history of China, but he is not an excellent counselor. In the words of the ancients, he was "Xiao He and Cao Can" (statesman), not "Sean and Chen Ping" (counselor). Zhuge Liang in our impression was actually "tampered with" by Luo Guanzhong.

In fact, there is no need to dispute Zhuge Liang's ability. Chen Shou made it very clear, and it is also sixteen words-"Managing honor is long, seeking short, managing people is not as short as it is", which is Chen Shou's very accurate evaluation of Zhuge Liang's ability.

This evaluation means that Zhuge Liang's political ability is higher than his military ability, and his ability to run the army is higher than his ability to use troops. It is very accurate. What's there to argue about? The reason why some people are controversial is because there is such a proof. According to Zhuge Liang Biography, after Zhuge Liang died of illness and retired, Sima Yi visited the military camp left by Zhuge Liang. Having said that, the wizards of the world are also. Many people think Zhuge Liang is an outstanding strategist according to this sentence. He didn't know that Sima Yi just affirmed Zhuge Liang's way of running the army.

Zhuge Liang ruled the country, so did the army. Just because he can run the army doesn't mean he can use troops. On the issue of using troops, Sima Yi has another evaluation. Where is this evaluation? In the Book of Jin? Biography of Xuan Di. The original text is like this. What does it mean to be ambitious but not seize the opportunity, to plan more but make fewer decisions, and to be good at fighting without potential? Is that he is ambitious, but he can't grasp the opportunity. He has many strategies, but he hasn't decided. He likes to lead troops to fight, but he doesn't know how to adapt. Contingency is the right to improvise. This right is not the right of power, but the right of contingency, that is, he can't improvise. He can only play conventional warfare properly, and once the situation changes, he doesn't know what to do. In today's words, he has ambition but no talent, but his eyes are high and his eyes are low.

Even among the contemporaries of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was not the best. Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Jushou and Tian Feng were all wise. Among them, Jia Xu, in the words of Mr. Yi Zhongtian, "... Jia Xu, a figure that our audience friends may not be familiar with, may be the smartest person in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Where is his cleverness? " Insight into human nature, insight into people's hearts, he can always understand the mind of the people he wants to deal with ... "Speaking of strategy, speaking of SJMS, Jia Xu's cleverness and greatness are also above Kong Ming.

Zhuge Liang's greatness lies more in his great moral sentiment of "doing my best until I die" and "ruling the country with courtesy, complaining to the people, not abusing lynching and not crying", which is unparalleled throughout the ages. As Emperor Kangxi said, "Only Zhuge Liang can hear such words."
