Pay attention in advance: everyone's judgment on premature death will be different. One of my hard criteria here is to die before the age of 40, which belongs to premature death. Unfortunately, by this standard, Taishi Ci (42) and Monroe (42) failed to make the list.

1, Guo Jia (170-207): Guo Jia is undoubtedly the most outstanding among Cao Cao's huge group of advisers. From 1 1 year, he began to "ride at the same table" and made suggestions for Cao Cao many times. Cao Cao's evaluation of him is that "filial piety can make people know loneliness." In particular, the swan song of "leaving a plan to settle down in Jiangdong" made people feel "mourning for filial piety, pain for filial piety, pity for filial piety" for his early death.

Sadness index: ★★★★★★ Sadness reason: Unfortunately, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, the two most outstanding wise men in the Three Kingdoms period, did not have the opportunity to compete on the same stage.

2. Zhou Yu (175-2 10): "The will of the monarch and the minister is entrusted to the outside, and the kindness of the flesh and blood is tied to the inside", which is a true portrayal of the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Less than 20 years old and Sun Ce pacified half of Jiangdong, a young hero, full of heroic spirit. Battle of Red Cliffs further established his position as a famous figure in the history of China.

Sadness index: ★★★★★★ Sadness reason: 12 years is too short for Gong Jin Xiaoqiao, a beautiful woman?

3. Pang Tong (179-214): "Long Fu Xiao Feng, two people get one, can secure the world." Mr. Shuijing's voice is still ringing in my ears, but a generation of wizards have fallen on the Phoenix Slope of Xichuan.

Sadness index: ★★★★★☆ Sadness reason: He was not active for a long time in the history of the Three Kingdoms, so as an outstanding counselor, he really praised few stories.

4. Sun Ce (175-200): He was only 17 years old the year his father died. In just a few years, relying on five or six thousand military forces gathered from all directions, they swept across Jiangdong, leaving the world with the envy of "if an old man has a son like a grandson, what else can a husband ask for" and the majestic posture of "a lion can't compete with the front"

Sadness index: ★★★★★☆ Sadness reason: The "little bully" in the east of Weizhen Town died in the hands of several ordinary people, which is really the sadness of being a military commander.

5. Dian Wei? -197): "A strong man has a gentleman under the account, and a pair of halberds is 80 pounds." Some people say that this famous soldier, known as "the ancient Hubei", has reached the limit of military commanders, and it is no exaggeration.

Sadness index: ★★★★★ Sadness reason: "Wei Shuang killed him with two thieves, and the other thieves were afraid to go forward. Father Wei suddenly attacked a thief, killed several people, relapsed and died with his eyes open. The thief dares to go forward, take his head, pass it on, cover the army and look at him. " How brave!

6. Cao Zhang? -223): Although it is difficult to verify Cao Zhang's date of birth, from the analysis of his brother Cao Pi (born in 187) and his brother Cao Zhi (born in 192), Cao Zhang probably died at the age of 32. He is one of the most outstanding brothers in the war. In his twenties, he led the army to suppress the rebellion of ethnic minorities in northern Xinjiang, which was his father's right-hand man.

Sadness index: ★★★★☆ Sadness reason: another victim of the kingship dispute.

7. Ma Liang (187-222): "A horse has five permanent elements, and a bridled eyebrow is the best." This is a man who has been famous since he was a child. Unfortunately, no matter in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Three Kingdoms, his performance is very mediocre, which gives me a feeling that it is not worthy of the name. Especially in the battle of Yiling, if he was the main adviser of Liu Bei at that time, then he needed to bear a large part of the responsibility for this defeat.

Sadness index: ★★★★ Sadness reason: He buried Liu Bei's life with his own bones.

Mi Heng (173- 198): When I wrote about him, I couldn't help thinking of another person-Li Ao. The pride left by China literati in past dynasties cannot be cut off by Howie with a blunt knife.

Sadness index: ★★★★ Sadness reason: I really want to listen to pass the parcel Cao again.

9. Li Dian (174-209): The main general of Cao Cao's army is called the elder in the army because he understands the great righteousness, does not compete with others for profits, advocates learning and elegance, and respects learned people.

Sadness index: ★★★★ Sadness reason: He is really an excellent general.

10, Cao Chong (196-208): A clever and observant child died at the age of 13. Only the wonderful story of "a prodigy is called an elephant" and the weeping of Cao Cao "This is my misfortune, but you are lucky".

Sadness index: ★★★★ Sadness reason: What a good child, it's a pity to die.
