Zhuge Liang is one of the top ten philosophers in Wu Temple, but Cao couldn't get in. Is it really because he has suffered too many defeats?

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court set up a Wu Temple, with Lu Shang (Jiang Taigong) as the martial saint and Sean as the Asian saint. Zhuge Liang, together with Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sima Rang, Le Yi, Han Xin, Tian Lei, Li Jing, Li Ji and Sean, are called the Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple. In addition, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Wargo, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Monroe, Lu Kang and many other famous people in other historical periods were selected, with a total of 64 people, who were selected as the so-called sixty-four generals of the Wu Temple. On the other hand, Cao Cao, as the military general who unified the Central Plains in the late Han Dynasty, had the most military achievements and occupied the largest territory, but he was not selected, which puzzled many people. And some people who don't like Cao Cao because of their personal likes and dislikes also spread their opinions wildly, saying that Cao Cao's failures in his life are too many and exaggerated to be selected as a martial arts temple, alongside other historical stars ... So, is this really the case? In fact, this is just a cover-up. Mount Tai has disappeared. There is a simple reason. In addition to the Wu Temple, Tang officials also set up a special temple for the emperor. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, only Cao Cao was elected as the monarch, accompanied by Zhong You and Yu Xun. Yu Xia died with him. Shang Tang. Jichang, Zhou Wenwang, Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang. Ying Zheng, Qin Shihuang. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Cao Cao of Wei Taizu Wu. Sima Yan, the ancestor of Jin Dynasty. Tuoba Tuo, Taizu of Northern Wei Dynasty. Yu Wentai, Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. In other words, only these founding monarchs who were officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty and were orthodox dynasties were eligible to be sacrificed together. So Cao Cao, as a great Wei Taizu Wu emperor, why did he have to demote himself and compete with other officials and military commanders for the position of Wu Temple? Yes, Cao Cao did fail many times or even suffered a fiasco because he liked adventure: 1 In the battle of Xingyang, Cao Cao met Xu Rong, the general of Dong Zhuo, which was unfavorable to the war and caused a large number of casualties among his soldiers. 2. In the battle of Shouzhang, before the main force arrived, Cao Cao fought against most of the Yellow Scarf Army with a small number of surprise soldiers and relied on his subordinate Bao Xin to break through. 3. In the battle of Puyang, Cao Cao was defeated by Lu Bu with cavalry, and the situation was in chaos. 4. In the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered and repented, and Cao Cao hastily took over, so he was defeated, shot and defended Dian Wei. 5. He attacked the battle of Wancheng again, but Cao Cao couldn't retreat for a long time. He was chased by Zhang Xiu with Jia Xu's plan and lost again. 6. In the battle against Yecheng, Cao Cao was countered by Yuan Shang Lin Cheng and was defeated. 7. Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao were wiped out by Zhou Yu's water army, and the remaining ships set themselves on fire and were defeated. The soldiers were hungry and cold, which caused a plague and killed more than half of them. 8. In the battle of Xu Xu, Cao Cao crossed the river with his foot soldiers in a tanker overnight, surrounded by Sun Quan's water army, captured 3,000 people, died and drowned thousands of people, and was forced to stick to the camp. 9. In the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei occupied the dangerous pass and refused to defend it. Cao Cao continued to attack for several months, and many foot soldiers fled and were forced to retreat. In addition, in the confrontation with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao also suffered many tactical defeats in the early days of the battle of Guandu and Tongguan. Yuan Shu and Mao attacked and robbed him, but Mao came out, was chased by Kou, entered the Qin family, and was subjected to it at Bonan Gate. Yuan Shaolian was a little in front of the camp, relying on sand as a chariot, and the people were also divided into camps, which was not conducive to joint operations. At that time, there were less than ten thousand soldiers, and there were twelve or thirteen wounded. Ma Chao and others rode behind, and it rained cats and dogs. The generals were frightened when they saw the army defeated and didn't know where the office was. They saw it, either sad or happy, or shed tears. However, in the end, Cao Cao defeated all the remnants of Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Ma Chao and Dong, and Zhang Xiu was forced to surrender. Finally, the Central Plains was pacified: Yanzhou pursued the Yellow Scarf, Yuzhou defeated Yuan Shu, Xuzhou defeated Lu Bu, Yangzhou (North) destroyed Yuan Shu, Jingzhou (North) invited Liu Qi, Jizhou defeated Yuan Shao, and Qingzhou destroyed Yuan Tan. Among the thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Li Si, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liangzhou, as well as Jingzhou and northern Yangzhou, which were captured by Cao Cao, are second to none. Compared with the brothers who won the sun rights of Sun Ce in Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, only Liu Bei of Yizhou struggled all his life. Of course, Cao Cao was the most brilliant, extraordinary and peerless person in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. It is worthy of the praise of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. He said, "With his heroic posture, he will stay calm in times of crisis and serve as a pillar, as before." Therefore, even Zhuge Liang, the hostile prime minister of Shu Han, has to admire Cao Cao's personal ability: Cao Cao's wisdom and tactics are unique to others, and his way of fighting is like Sun Wu's. Wu Temple was established in the Tang Dynasty to reward the soldiers who rebelled against An Shi after the rebellion was put down, to win over the buffer region occupied by An Shi generals, to praise the loyalty of the famous Wu, to show the court's attention to Wu people and to maintain the dynasty rule. Therefore, Wu Ci is a list of military officials in Wang Zuo, not a list of famous soldiers that many people subconsciously think, and military achievements or talents are not given priority at all. Therefore, all emperors and monarchs who set up their own businesses, or those who were later named emperors, were not selected for the Wu Temple, including Emperor Wu, Ran Min, Tuoba Tao and Mu Rongchui. Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, is no exception. Otherwise, wouldn't it encourage those peak sexually buffer zones to follow suit? Therefore, if we look at the list of "Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple", even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing can't be found, but there is Sean, who is just a counselor and strategist. When a man went out, he was beaten by an unknown general Qin, so he had to fight guerrilla warfare. Take (Zhang) Liang as a disciple of Han Shen, and the king of Korea will take more than a thousand people to the west to explore Korea and take several cities. Qin needs to take them back and fight in Yingchuan. And Si Mazhao, a general who never fought. Because of the allusion of "Defeating the enemy without fighting" and a military book "Sima Fa", he has also become the "Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple", which can be juxtaposed with Han Xin and Bai Qi. Let's take a look again: Sun Wu: Together with Wu Zixu, he was defeated by the allied forces in Qin Chu in the Huai War. Even General Chu and Zi Xi fought a "war of burning corpses", and they were so embarrassed that they didn't even have time to clean up the bones of their soldiers. Zi Xu, Sun Wu, Bai, Qin Shihuang defeated Wu Shi. When Wu Jun was about to be burned, Confucius said, "My father and brother are fighting fiercely. If we don't accept it, we will burn it again. How can it be? " "Confucius said," "If you lose your country and people, you will have nowhere to live. Why kill and die with love? Help me with a cigarette when I die; If he was ignorant, why did he cherish the bones in the grass and die in Wu? "Then burn and play, miss wu was defeated. Le Yi: The five-nation coalition forces sent troops together and defeated Qi. Going it alone, I couldn't get to the last two cities for several years, and finally I wasted my time getting married for Qin. After leaving Yan, I was sealed in Zhao, but I lost my fief and stayed in Tianjin, so I had to live in Handan for a long time and be a leisure guest. Next year, Anhou () and Keqing () will attack Zhao, Han and Wei again, break Huayang Mountain, behead 100,000 people, and take Wei's roll, Changshe and Zhao Guanjin. Li Ji: In the battle of Liyang, Dou Jiande was completely annihilated and was once forced to surrender; The battle of Mingzhou was fought by Liu Heita again. Therefore, if the so-called Ten Philosophers in the Wu Temple can actually represent the highest military level of ancient generals and prove that each of them has a better military record than Cao Cao. After 20 years of fighting, there are still two in the world. Isn't that a big joke? Moreover, even if we don't consider Cao Cao, there are two super green and Huo Qubing on the list of sixty-four generals under the Wu Temple. Even Wuqi, Han Xin, Tian Lei, and Li Jing, with their merits, abilities, and historical contributions, may not dare to say that they will certainly win Huo Wei, not to mention other "wars". Wei Qing: Changping Huan Huan, the general's army, cut the infinite thinly, restore our new frontier, drive seven times, rush leisurely, encircle Khan, face north. Huo Qubing: The champion of the ancient title of generals in ancient times, with changeable courage, made six long drives, electrocuted Lei Zhen, drank the horse sea, sealed the wolf from the mountain, ruled the river in the west, and prayed for the county. In fact, whether it is Wuqi, Han Xin, Tian Lei or Li Jing, they don't need the title of "Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple" to prove their great achievements in the ancient military history of China. As for some modern keyboard men, they have to ridicule Cao Cao's military achievements with Han Xin's extraordinary feats, so they have to say that every time they hear about bullying big birds, they are laughing at eagles.
