Those fortune tellers

Fortune-telling, as a feudal superstition and unscientific thing at present, is worthy of criticism. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang once said: Being a general, he doesn't know astronomy and geography, strange yin and yang, battle plans and military intelligence, and he is a mediocre man. At that time, Zhuge Liang was a fortune teller.

Zhuge Liang once predicted the life and death of others, and even knew his own. He borrowed the seven-star lamp to extend his life this time, and finally failed. There are not only fortune tellers Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Guo Jia in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also two others. They are Guan Ju and Zuo Ci.

Guo Jia predicted the death of Sun Ce in the battle of Guandu. At that time, Cao Cao was very relieved that Sun Ce had stolen the house. Guo Jia said that Sun Ce was young and frivolous, and he was a foolhardy ordinary man who would die in the hands of small people. As a result, Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gong's protege. Zhuge Liang's old rival Sima Yi predicted Zhuge Liang's death during the last Northern Expedition.

Let's start with Guan Lu. Guan Ju is a man who is proficient in Zhouyi, divination, fortune telling, astronomy, geography and drinking. Once, Cao Cao was ill, and others couldn't cure him, so he asked Guan Ju to treat him. Guan Yu let Cao Cao recover gradually and said this sentence: "On March 8, the yellow pig met the tiger; The south of the army is broken. " In other words, in the twenty-four years of Jian 'an, Cao Cao will wreck a general in the south of Dingjun Mountain. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an, Xia was beheaded by Huang Zhong.

Let's talk about Zuo Ci. He is even more unusual. He even predicted the death of Cao Cao. Zuo Ci once said: "The country mouse follows Hu Jin, once the adulterer retires". It means the year of Gengzi, the year when Cao Cao will die. As a result, Cao Cao really died in the year of Gengzi.

These two can be said to be ingenious, and many of what they said have been realized.
