Finally, we should learn to assess the situation. When facing complex circumstances and interpersonal relationships, we should assess the situation, understand our situation and position, and avoid unnecessary consequences caused by impulsiveness.
In short, the stories of the four famous generals in history who have achieved great achievements and died in history have profound historical lessons.
