What was Sima Yi's nickname?

Ancient people had nicknames, or what we often call "nicknames". Today we will talk about Sima Yi's nickname. Sima Yi's nickname is "Tsukahu", which means "tiger hibernating in the grave", and it is very intimidating to hear. But one thing led to another, and in Cao Cao's time, even though he was a genius, under Cao Cao's suppression, Sima Yi was never able to make a breakthrough, and only after Cao Cao's death did Sima Yi's disloyalty slowly reveal itself.

Sima Yi

Poor "war" of the Three Kingdoms, poor Cao Cao, fight to fight, but did not expect the last to Sima Yi to do the "dowry", the last unification of the Three Kingdoms was completed by Sima Yi, which can not be said to be a miracle. Just think of the early Three Kingdoms, Liu Guanzhang Peach Garden, when Cao Mengde defeated the Red Cliff, Zhuge Liang, when the empty city, but also never thought, Sima Yi in the service of the Cao family after four generations of monarchs, the late years will be a coup to take over the Cao Wei "mountain" it!

There is a wild history that says Cao Cao heard that Sima Yi had the appearance of a wolf, and intended to check it out, once deliberately letting Sima Yi walk in front of him, and then intentionally shouting at him, only to see that his body did not move, and that only his head was turned back to look at it, and that he had the appearance of a "wolf".

Cao Cao

In fact, Cao Cao once had a nightmare in which three horses were eating from the same trough, and when he woke up, Cao Cao summoned Cao Pi and said, "Sima Yi won't be willing to be a vassal, and will interfere in your court and family affairs in the future." This is also known as "three horses in the same trough", which implies that Sima will eat Cao, and the three horses are interpreted as Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, who **** together to create favorable conditions for the subsequent Sima Yan Wei.

Talking about Sima Yi is also really not easy, can in front of Cao Cao this suspicious monarch to keep his life, but also to develop their own ability, but also quietly cultivate their own power, really has unusual strengths. And it's not hard to see how ambitious Sima Yi is from his nickname.

So how could Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, tolerate such an ambitious Sima Yi?

Sima Yi and Cao Pi

It can be said that Sima Yi, in order to save his own life and for his own betterment, after realizing that Cao Pi was going to succeed Cao Cao, defended Cao Pi's interests at every turn, and even developed into Cao Pi's most "heartfelt" friend, who was even more dedicated to Cao Cao's service, even doing small things such as feeding the horses. The fact that Cao Pi is a good friend, and that he has become his best friend, is a great help to Cao Cao in his endeavors.

But after the deaths of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, it became clear that Sima Yi's heart was in the right place.
