Sima Yi's nickname is "Tomb Tiger", which is the tiger hidden in the grave.
The eagle stands like sleep, the tiger walks like a disease, it seems that there is no energy and intention to hurt people, but in fact, it is secretly accumulated, hidden mysteries, hidden but not released, and once the time comes, it will jump up, a blow will be hit, a sword will seal the throat, and a battle will be won.
Sima Yi is known as the "old Mouzi", he went from an obscure civil official to boil up the four generations of kings of the Cao family's regime, and finally, he overthrew the Cao family regime and created the Sima family's country. His most poisonous strategy is to be able to wait, endure, and hide.
I can wait
Everything in the world comes and goes, there is his time, we just need to cultivate ourselves to the best and wait quietly.
There is no overnight success, there is no one-step brilliance, all success is ripe, natural. The more anxious a person is, the more anxious he is, the more impatient he is, and the farther away he is from the desired result.
Sima Yi was talented, ambitious, and strategic, and Cao Cao was very wary of him, and instructed future generations not to reuse it, let alone use it for military power. Sima Yi waited silently, Cao Cao died, Cao Pi died, Cao Rui had no generals under him, so he had to use Sima Yi's governor Yongliang and other military horses to resist Zhuge Liang's military attack. But Sima Yi has always been fortified everywhere. After Cao Fang ascended the throne, Sima Yi was deposed from military power by another auxiliary minister, Cao Shuang, and he fell ill at home. It wasn't until more than ten years later that he found a gap for Cao Shuang to go out, launched a coup d'état, and seized Cao Wei's power in one fell swoop.
Life is a long race, some people laugh at the beginning, and some people win at the end. Life will never treat people who are willing to work hard, all the hardships you are suffering now, all the tiredness you are suffering, will eventually turn into light and illuminate your future path.
Bearable
There is a line in the TV series "The Way of Heaven": Forbearance is a line, energy is a line, and between the two is the living space. If a person wants to develop better, he must endure what others can't and what others can't.
Patience determines a person's lower limit, and ability determines a person's upper limit. In the case of similar ability, the more a person can endure, the greater his living space and the greater the probability of success.
Sima Yi has always been under suspicion, and Cao Cao thinks that he is "eagle-eyed and wolf-oriented" and has not been reused. Cao Pi has always been on guard against him. In the Cao Rui era, Sima Yi used his resourcefulness and forbearance to block the pace of Zhuge Liang's attack, with outstanding feats and outstanding achievements, and was irreplaceable in the government and the opposition. Cao Rui listened to the rumors and thought that Sima Yi had rebelled, not only relieved him of his military power and stripped him of all official positions, but also monitored him from time to time.
Sima Yi's two sons couldn't accept it and were often indignant, so Sima Yi taught them that if they want to achieve great things, the key is to endure the word, and if they can't bear it, they will make a big plan.
Learning to forbear is a particularly important ability for a person.
I can hide it
Many people like to bask in happiness, sweetness, success, wealth, and always want to be envied and recognized by others. Physics tells us that drying is the easiest way to dry and fold, and hiding is the best way to keep it fresh.
If you can't hide things and expose everything to the public, you will be seen through by others and lose your ability to act.
After Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were appointed as ministers of Tuogu. Cao Shuang relied on his royal status to seize Sima Yi's power and pose a serious threat to the life and safety of Sima Yi's family. Sima Yi judged the situation, took the initiative to give up his remaining power, retired at home, and did not ask about political affairs. In order to dispel his opponent's doubts, he pretended to be seriously ill and was bedridden. Cao Shuang sent someone to investigate, only to see Sima Yi panting, his speech slurred, like a tree, soft and weak, as if he was about to die.
When Cao Shuang relaxed and was no longer on guard, Sima Yi took the opportunity to launch a coup d'état in Gao Pingling and annihilated his opponent in one fell swoop.
Hiding deep and waiting for opportunities is the most clever way to deal with the world.
