Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 62, Han Ji 54
Emperor Jian'an of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Wuyin, 198 AD).
Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan for many years, but he couldn't restrain it, and he told him in a book, wanting to reconcile with his regretsZan did not answer, but increased the garrison, said the long history Taiyuan Guan Jing said: "Today, the four sides of the tiger are fighting, there is no one who can sit under my city and stay with me for many years"Shao then raised troops to attack Zhan. First of all, Zhan Bei will be surrounded by the enemy, but Zhan will not save him, saying: "Save one person, so that the queen will be rescued, and he will not fight." "And Shao came to attack, and the camp of the southern sector of Zhan, the self-discipline could not be self-consolidated, and he knew that he would not see help, or fall or collapse.
Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Chan for many years, but when he couldn't overcome it, he wrote to Gongsun Chan, wanting to settle his past grudges with him and unite with each other. Gongsun Zhan ignored it, but strengthened his defense, he said to Changshi and Guan Jing, a native of Taiyuan: "Now that the four sides are fighting each other, obviously no one can sit under my city for many years, what can Yuan Shao do to me!."Yuan Shao then increased his troops and attacked Gongsun Zhan. Prior to this, among the generals who were stationed in various places, some of them were besieged by enemy troops, and Gongsun Chan refused to rescue, he said: "If you save this person, it will make other generals rely on rescue in the future and refuse to fight hard." When Yuan Shao came to attack, the generals sent by Gongsun Chan to defend the camp in the south knew that they could not hold on, and they knew that there would be no one to help, so some surrendered and some scattered.
When the material happened, Gongsun Chan still had a chance, but he was lost by Gongsun Chan himself.
Yuan Shao fought Gongsun Zan year after year, Yuan Shao fought away from home, and the logistics supply line was long, and the soldiers were in different places all the year round, and they were eager to return home, and the division veterans were tired, and the military spirit was uncertain.
Gongsun Zhan was pressed and beaten by Yuan Shao, although it was uncomfortable, but Yuan Shao was even more uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why in the face of Yuan Shao's request for an armistice, Gongsun Chan refused instead.
In Gongsun Zhan's view, Yuan Shao can't hold on, since he can't hold on, grit his teeth again, and when Yuan Shao retreats, it will be the arrival of a turning point.
If Gongsun Chan accepts Yuan Shao's truce, Gongsun Chan can not do much, but Yuan Shao's foundation is strong, and he can make a comeback after a little restIt's definitely choking.
The truth is such a truth, but the problem is that Gongsun Chan is a person who is good at fighting but not good at governance.
Gongsun Zhan don't look at the special ability to fight, what he did, killing Liu Yu, squeezing out the Youzhou scholars, and appointing villains, can be regarded as ruining his ruling foundation and reputation.
At this time, the whole of Youzhou is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and Yuan Shao can win.
At this time, Gongsun Chan in the material did a big stupid thing.
If it is said that Gongsun Zhan's refusal of Yuan Shao's request for an armistice, it is just a matter of strategic and tactical judgment.
Then this incident completely shattered Gongsun Zhan's internal military heart.
First of all, Zhan Bei will be surrounded by the enemy, but Zhan will not save him, saying: "Save one person, so that the queen will be rescued, and he will not fight." ”For the besieging troops, Gongsun Chan did not save them.
If you don't save it, you won't save it, and he said that if he is saved, other troops will follow suit and won't fight.
Is there any truth to what Gongsun Chan said?
There is a truth, human nature is lazy, and the psychology of waiting, relying and asking is the normal state of most people, but as long as someone comes to help themselves, or can rely on others, they will never make a lot of effort.
However, the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
Why do people wait?Because he knows that the help of others will definitely come, and he can afford to delay and wait for this matter.
What if help doesn't come?Or didn't it help?
Is it only on your own.
Gongsun Chan thought of this layer, and it was indeed true.
However, the problem is that the life of the war is at stake, and we cannot afford to delay it, let alone wait.
If the soldier knew that Gongsun Chan would come to the rescue, although he was surrounded at this time and fought hard, his family was in the hands of Gongsun Chan, and he could still fight hard and insist on waiting for Gongsun Chan to come, there was still a little hope.
But if Gongsun Chan speaks, I won't come, you can rely on yourself.
Mortal situation, there is no external hope, no matter how hard you try, you will die, so why bother?Isn't it fragrant to surrender?
This is also the reason why, later, after Gongsun Chan said this, the troops collapsed and surrendered on a large scale.
"And Shao came to attack, and the camp of the southern sector of Zhan, the self-discipline could not be self-consolidated, and he knew that he would not see help, or fall or collapse.It can be said that these troops have no hope, or it can be said that they feel abandoned by Gongsun Chan and have to find a new way out on their own.
Originally, Gongsun Chan could still hold on, maybe he could drag Yuan Shao to retreat.
But Gongsun Chan did this, but he quickly collapsed internally, accelerating his demise.
Faith, expectation, sometimes things and people count on these two things to live.
It's like, spending.
If you are confident that you can make money and have expectations for the economy to get better and better, it means that you will spend more money now.
When the vast majority of people think like this, a consensus is formed, a joint force is formed, and the economy is really improving like this.
If you are afraid that you don't have confidence and expectations, then it's really doomed.
Of course, there is no confidence and expectation, and it is also a consensus.
Confidence and expectations, both for the organization and for the individual, we can approach them together with two different attitudes.
One is positive, that is, we should be diligent in maintaining the confidence and expectations of others and try our best to ensure that such confidence and expectations of others remain relatively stable.
To a large extent, the behavior of others towards us is based on this, we reciprocate kindness and positivity, and the other party is likely to return with kindness and positivity.
The other is negative, that is, our confidence and expectations of others, it is better not to be too high, not to bet on the humanity of the other person, to lower expectations, not to expect.
It is the norm for people to be unreliable, you really have to rely too much on others, and in the end it is yourself who is hurt, and if you set your expectations too high, the higher the disappointment.
If you lower your expectations, you will be able to exceed your expectations, and you will be happier.
