How to dominate? The talent of oneself, or the wisdom of others? If you don't rely on the strength of others, can you stand alone in the world? Let's think deeply, not think too much about ourselves, and we can't be swayed by what others say.
The key is to see the situation clearly, strategize, and keep pace with the times. And all of this requires the guidance of a think tank as deep as water. Only in this way can we ride the wind and waves and swim against the current.
If not, how can there be heroes who dominate the world?
Throughout history, heroes who have been able to overcome difficulties and achieve great things have often had one thing in common - they knew how to seek the help of wise men and wise men at critical moments.
Without resourceful strategists, how can they make informed decisions in a complex and volatile situation? It is the foresight of these strategists that has led to the hegemony of many wise leaders.
Therefore, if you want to stand out in troubled times and move forward bravely, you need to gather talents around you and recruit wise men, so that you can achieve great things.
In 191 AD, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the troubled times, heroes rose together. Liu Bei, as a descendant of the clan, although he was shrewd by nature and good at making friends with wise men, he was repeatedly defeated and had no choice but to flee south to Jiangling and defect to the local Taishou Liu Biao.
Liu Bei knows that in the troubled times, he must have the help of wise men in order to cope with the changes. So, he went around recruiting talent in an attempt to gather his subordinates. Sima Hui, a local celebrity, opened Liu Bei's eyes with his unique insight.
Sima Hui said that most of the local Confucian scholars were shallow, and if they wanted to get real assistance, they had to look for handsome people. In his opinion, in the entire Jingzhou region, only two people can be called Junjie.
One of them is the reclusive Mr. Zhuge Liang of Wolong, and the other is the young phoenix, but unfortunately died early. When Liu Bei heard this, he realized that his hardships were not because he lacked a wise man who was as proficient as water?
After Zhuge Liang's three visits to the thatched house, Liu Bei finally succeeded in convincing this Mr. Wolong. Zhuge Liang not only agreed to Liu Bei's invitation, but also formulated a medium and long-term development strategy for him, which was later known as the "Longzhong Pair".
According to Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei should first establish his own power in Jingzhou, then seize Shuzhong, and finally fight for control of the Central Plains. With this forward-looking blueprint as a guide, Liu Bei is full of confidence and determined to follow this step by step to achieve his goal.
And Zhuge Liang's addition is like a tiger with wings, which doubles Liu Bei's confidence. In the eyes of others, Liu Bei can have a fierce general like Zhuge Liang to assist, which is simply a godsend.
There are even some villagers who privately say that Liu Bei is a once-in-a-lifetime master, so God let him meet a virtuous person like Zhuge Liang. If it weren't for the favor of God, how could there be a miracle of three visits to the thatched house?
And Liu Bei was also happy to hear such folk talks, which strengthened his belief in the revival of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei is well versed in a truth: to make a difference in troubled times, you must recruit talents. Zhuge Liang is the brain trust he dreams of, and with Zhuge Liang's help, Liu Bei also has the possibility of realizing his ambitions.
After all, in turbulent times, the strength of one person alone is far from enough. Therefore, Liu Bei was not afraid of hard work, and visited Zhuge Liang three times, showing great sincerity.
The reason for the final success is not only Liu Bei's sincerity, but also that Zhuge Liang was attracted by Liu Bei's lofty ideals. Liu Bei understands that he can't lose at the starting line.
In troubled times, only by seizing the opportunity can we win the advantage. Zhuge Liang is a rare opportunity, with his assistance, Liu Bei's career has just started, and the future is full of hope.
As Sima Hui said, Zhuge Liang is the only one who can really help Liu Bei. After hard work, Liu Bei finally got Sima Hui's recommendation, which was also an opportunity for his hard work.
There was a warrior in the north, and his name was Cao Cao. He was originally a ** of the Han Dynasty, but seeing that the Han family was about to fall, he decided to stand up and fight for his beliefs.
In the sixth year of Jian'an, he raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, but due to the disparity in strength, he suffered a serious setback. However, he never gave up on his beliefs. Six years later, he found a fresh start in Yanzhou.
At first, he was only awarded the position of Yanzhou Pastor for the purpose of crusading against the invading Yellow Turban Army. But his clever plan allowed him to successfully annihilate most of the Yellow Turban Army's troops, which allowed him to gain real power as Yanzhou Mu.
However, Cao Cao was not satisfied with the status quo, he knew that it was not enough to just defend the land, he needed to have a long-term development strategy, otherwise he would soon be overtaken by other warlords.
Cao Cao had great ambitions and wanted to stabilize the world, but there was no one to help him formulate a strategy. Therefore, he has been secretly looking for a counselor. In the end, Mao Jue became his right-hand man.
Mao Jue has experienced great chaos and has a deep understanding of the situation. He put forward a strategy of navigating the world, the content of which is similar to Liu Bei's "Longzhong Pair", showing his grand vision.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt very happy, he knew that his ideal had finally been realized.
Mao Jue analyzed that today's situation is turbulent, the people are living in hardship, the treasury is empty, and the people are panicking. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to use the authority of the Son of Heaven to control the princes, reserve military rations, and plan agriculture.
Only in this way can we realize the dream of dominating the world and establish a stable situation. Cao Cao suddenly realized after hearing this, he had already had this idea, but because no one could negotiate with him, he had been depressed.
Unexpectedly, Mao Jue had unique insights and proposed strategies that hit his heart. Cao Cao has a unique vision for his own people, and Mao Jue's talent makes him ecstatic. He is even more determined, and with the assistance of such a strategist, he will definitely be able to fight for the world.
Cao Cao was full of pride and felt that he had finally found someone who could work together to make a great plan for governing the world. He couldn't wait to discuss the details with Mao Jue and make an implementation plan.
The blueprint is beautiful, but the lack of practitioners is just empty talk. Cao Cao knew that if he wanted to achieve the great cause, the impulse of the moment was far from enough, and he must be down-to-earth and steady.
Previously, he was looking for an assistant who could understand his ideals and develop a well-thought-out strategy. Even Cao Cao's subordinates also talked about it, saying that Cao Gong's fate was good, and such a think tank suddenly appeared to help him plan a great cause.
Cao Cao also welcomed these remarks very much, so he vigorously promoted and reused Mao Jue. Under Mao Jue's planning, Cao Cao gradually practiced the Three Programs, and the army became stronger and stronger, and gradually became a hero who stood alone in the world.
Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao received help from their strategists and found their way in the troubled times. Liu Bei won Shuzhong because he got Longzhong, and Cao Cao also stabilized the north because of Mao Jue's strategy.
People expect these two British lords to make a difference in seeking national security and people, after all, the troubled times need British rulers to govern. Although the public has different opinions about them, they still have great expectations for the future.
Liu Bei is considered to be an unborn hero, some people think that he met Zhuge Liang by luck, while others think that he is an ordinary figure. Cao Cao was considered lucky to be able to find a strategist to help him, while others thought that he relied too much on strategists and was not a self-reliant master.
To gain a foothold in troubled times, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person alone. The real key is to keep up with the times and attract a wide range of talent. Only with the strategy of a strategist as a guide can we rise to the occasion in the face of adversity and ensure the stability of the country and the well-being of the people.
Both leaders knew that with the help of a counselor, the process of implementation would not be easy. Liu Bei needed to lead the army to gradually seize Jingzhou and Shu in order to increase his strength; Cao Cao also needed to start from Yanzhou and gradually advance to compete for the supremacy of the world.
It's not enough to have a good blueprint, you need to take action. Therefore, both of them, with the assistance of the strategist, actively implement every step in order to move towards the ultimate goal.
Where there is a will, there is a way; If you want to achieve great things, you need to use the asymptotic method.
In times of chaos, the birth of heroes is inevitable, but to successfully overcome difficulties, finding a wise strategist is the key. A man of vision, a wise monarch can be ambitious.
And these ambitions need to be supported by strategy to become a reality.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao and Mao Jue are the best examples. In the era of complexity and chaos, we also need to find trustworthy philosophers and pioneers in order to achieve social harmony and stability and rise to the occasion.
Heroes also need a think tank in order to finally achieve their goals. However, it is not enough to have a strategist, but also to put it into practice and do every step in a down-to-earth manner, in order to finally win the victory and gradually achieve the goal.
