We won't analyze the things in the play. After all, people are entertaining, not talking about history.

In the film, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi are antagonistic, but there is no basis.

The screenwriter is probably because both of them have been Cao Cao's master books and belonged to each other in the battle for the office, so they joined the opposite play for the sake of good looks.

In fact, two people as the main book have different time and functions, and there is not much overlap.

There is no record of any struggle between the two in the history books during this period.

It should be an ordinary colleague. I met him when I was working in the department.

Although they are all main books (equivalent to secretaries), their jobs are quite different.

According to records, Yang Xiu is responsible for the transportation and storage of grain.

In history, there was a saying that "learning from the outside and knowing from the inside, everything means what it means".

In other words, he knows everything between departments and does things quite well.

He should be an excellent official.

Sima yi discussed strategy and tactics many times when he was in the main book. He made suggestions when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Shu and Xiliang, and put forward his own views on Wei's military and economic policies and even the appointment and dismissal.

He is an excellent adviser and politician.

So he was later transferred to the army and Sima was in charge of military and political affairs.

So Yang Xiu is actually more like a master book than Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is a typical counselor.

It's hard to say that military affairs are definitely better than logistics. After all, our majors are different.

However, if Sima Yi insisted on high and low, it was obviously much more dazzling at that time.
