Cao Cao explained the weight of blessing with two things, and there are two realms that must be reached
First of all, it is worth noting that the so-called"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other"The blessed people in the text belong to the blessed ones who are blessed by misfortune. After all, if you do things under someone like Cao Cao, you still want to play"Peace is a blessing"Not only will Cao Cao not accept it, but even readers will be angry, saying that it is nonsense.
That's why it's mentioned in the work"The Beatles"There are also eye-opening ideas or meanings. To read history is to learn from the experience of our ancestors, so as to understand the road, achieve victory on the road, and make continuous progress. Absolutely"Look"Also an attitude, after all"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time"。Without further ado, let's enter the Cao Cao era and take a look at the first big thing!
First of all, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the truly blessed people will take care of the overall situation!
So-called"See the big picture", in the local parlance, that is"Which is more important"。I think, through this explanation, we will all understand that in addition to big names such as Cao Cao, those who can distinguish between the most important are always blessed in their daily lives, because they are always able to make the most advantageous choices!
The most typical example is Han Hao! The most typical example is Han Hao! It took place during the Battle of Yanzhou between Cao Cao and Lü Bu. In 194 AD, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou, and Cao Cao lost control of Yanzhou because his home was in Yancheng, and it would not be good if Yancheng fell into Lü Bu's hands. At the decisive moment, Xiahoudun stepped forward and fought to the death with Lu Bu.
In the face of Xiahou Dun, a strong attack was obviously not the best policy, so Lu Bu came up with a plan to surrender by fraud and sent people to Xiahou Dun's camp to surrender by fraud. Xia Houdun really believed that he had been caught by others. Xiahou Dun's camp was immediately in a panic.
At that time, Han Hao was under the command of Xiahoudun, and after learning of the situation, he first consulted the other generals, and in order to prevent Cao Bing from escaping, they all returned to their camps fairly and waited, and then rushed to Xiahoudun's camp led by the Boxers, who was surprisingly angry!
I only heard Han Hao shout angrily, pointing at Xiahou Dun's captive and saying:"You are brave enough to kidnap our commander? But I tell you, we all have a mission on our part, and don't think that if you kidnap our commander, we will follow your orders. "Immediately afterwards, Xiahou shouted to Tun:"I'm sorry, the military order is like a mountain, we can only sacrifice you, but we will definitely avenge you! "
He immediately gave the order to attack. This time, the pirates were all wiped out, and only Xiahoudun was left begging for mercy! This time, Lu Bu's plan did not succeed! When Cao Cao found out, he was furious and immediately ordered that if something similar happened in Xiahou Dun again, no matter who it was, he would have to deal with it like Han Hao!
Soon, Cao Cao put Han Hao in command of the forbidden army and promoted him to the rank of middle protector. Later, Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, and someone suggested that Han Hao defend the city. Cao Cao shook his head and said"Don't even think about it, I don't have a protector (Han Hao) by my side, it's useless at all. "
The reason why Han Hao was able to successfully kidnap Xiahoudun was because he understood"Which is more important"This is a critical question. If Lu Bu's plan to kidnap Xiahou Dun succeeds, Cao Cao's family and Chang Hong will fall into the hands of Lu Bu, and it will be even more difficult for Cao Cao to change his fate! Even if he saved Xiahoudun, what could he do? He couldn't even save her!
Therefore, Cao Cao took a fancy to Han Hao's overall situation, promoted him to his side in one fell swoop, and entrusted him with important tasks. Therefore, Han Hao's happiness is completely predictable!
Secondly, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and those who are truly blessed have them"Silly"！
That's what we often say"Fighters are lucky"。The most typical example is Liu Jie. He is a celebrity and a gentleman, and he is Mr. Shuijing's **, and he was bought by Liu Biao. However, he soon left Liu Biao and persuaded his brother not to follow him. The reason: Liu Biao killed two of his friends. As the saying goes:"Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped"。Liu Biao was able to kill our friends, proving that he hated people like us.
Unfortunately, his younger brother did not listen to him and was killed by Liu Biao, who later defected to Cao Cao. From this example, we can see that Liu Jie is very cunning, not stupid! Given what happened to his friend, he has the ability to decide his own fate. Therefore, Liu Biao is behind"Stupid"The word should end with a comma.
It was before the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and when he heard that Cao Cao was going to go on the expedition in person, Liu Jie wrote to Cao Cao to express his opposition. He has a long list of reasons, but only two. First, the reason why Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao was because he was very confident at that time, as the so-called"God helps the self-confident"。But now the situation has changed, and Liu Bei has set up his own door, so he can't beat him!
Secondly, he used King Wen of Zhou as an example: he used the example of King Wen of Zhou's three unsuccessful crusades against Chonghou Hu, and finally his defeat due to virtue and politics, to persuade Cao Cao that he should end his life now. He used the fall of the Qin Dynasty as an example to convince Cao Cao ...In conclusion, Cao Cao's thought has a lot to study.
After listening patiently, Cao Cao walked up to him and said:"The king must recognize the minister, and the minister must recognize the king:'The king must recognize the minister, and the minister must recognize the king:You have been talking for a long time, you want me to sit here like King Wen of Zhou and practice benevolent government, but you are wrong about me, Cao Cao! '"
Cao Cao's words were very harsh! Liu Cao said almost exaggeratedly"Are you a fool? You don't know what I, Cao Cao, want to do. I said I want to be King Zhou Wen in my lifetime, do you really believe it?
One can imagine how sad and embarrassed Liu Kui is. Soon after, however, Liu Kui was killed for his involvement in a rebellion against his brother Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao exonerated Liu Kui with a similar case in the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period, and instead of being killed, Liu Kui was promoted to Prime Minister Cao Cao's subordinate and became Cao Cao's cronies!
Why? Since Liu Biao has seen his own ability clearly, he must have seen Cao Cao's ability clearly! Therefore, whatever persuasion Cao Cao is to confuse Cao Cao, this is the point: Didn't you say that you wanted to be King Wen of Zhou? He was full of gibberish, just to let Cao Cao know:'I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I believe whatever you say!
As everyone knows, the reason why Cao Cao was so surprised was because he thought he knew him well and would appease him instead of ** him - after all, Liu Kui has the title of a famous man and is Mr. Shuijing's **. From Liu Jian's example, we can see that many so-called"Fools"Pretending to be stupid is all to achieve what Zhuangzi said"The community tree"Effect - Use them as decorations, as they may seem useless, but may actually be beneficial!
Summarizing these two cases, they are like two sides of the same coin, although their characteristics are contradictory: Han Hao is reused because he has an extraordinary big-picture view, which actually represents the behavior of entrepreneurs. Liu Jie, on the other hand, has been retained as a decorative figure because of his humor, which represents inertia and harmlessness.
Therefore, if you want to live a long life, you generally have to achieve these two realms, that is, the enterprising person is blessed, and the harmless person is blessed!
