When I was young, I read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and always had a question in my mind.
Why was Liu Bei able to become the founding king of Shu Han?
In terms of martial arts, he is inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei;
In terms of family background, he is not as prominent as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao;
In terms of resourcefulness, he seems to be inferior to Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu;
In terms of image, he makes a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, but he is not a princely general.
However, Liu Bei gathered many heroes and heroes who were loyal and courageous, and they all admired and followed Liu Bei.
After several defeats and hardships, Liu Bei was able to divide one side in the troubled times, and finally established the Shu Han Dynasty.
As I grew older and experienced the vicissitudes of the world, I gradually realized the truth, and it turned out that achieving great things is really a profound knowledge.
01 There is a classic plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where anyone who meets Liu Bei has many "Isn't it Xuande Gong?" Then the scene of bowing down.
Outside Xinye City, Zhao Yun first met Liu Bei, seven in and seven out of Cao Jun's ten thousand horses, riding the savior alone, and treating death as home, just because of the sentence "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, I am willing to go to the soup with Liu Xuande";
In front of Changban Slope, Mi Zhu and others were disheartened, and Liu Bei lamented: "More than ten years of hard work have been in vain. When everyone heard this, they were firm in their beliefs and swore to follow them.
Although Liu Bei came from a humble background, his name of benevolence and perseverance touched many people.
He treats the people like family, treats his subordinates like brothers, asks Zhuge Liang for three visits, and marries Taoyuan, and recruits two fierce generals of Guan Zhang, it is this sincere and people-oriented way of doing things that has won him wide support.
What Liu Bei gave was not only material benefits, but also a kind of respect and trust.
Tao Qian gave it to Xuzhou that year, and Liu Bei repeatedly resigned; When crossing the river with the people, they chose to share the hardships with the people.
These actions let people see that Liu Bei attaches importance to people's hearts rather than temporary places, and is a long-term plan rather than short-term interests. As the ancients said:"He who wins hearts and minds wins the world. ”
02 During the Three Kingdoms period, the heroes rose together, and Liu Bei, as the leader of Shu Han, was particularly outstanding in terms of capacity.
When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Lu Bu was treacherous and discredited, but Liu Bei was able to defy public opinion and intercede for Lu Bu in the Baimenlou incident.
Compared with Yuan Shao, Sun Quan and others, who are stingy or suspicious of talents, Liu Bei is thirsty for talents.
Pang Tong's appearance is not amazing, but Liu Bei has a discerning eye and entrusts him with important tasks; Huang Zhong is old, Liu Bei can still be reused, and eventually became one of the five tiger generals.
Especially in the treatment of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei regarded him as a minister of the humerus, entrusted his life, and completely trusted, so that Zhuge Liang did his best, and after his death, he assisted the queen and tried to restore the great cause of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei knows that only by being eclectic can we brainstorm ideas, and only by embracing all rivers can we achieve hegemony. Only with a broad mind can we accept all kinds of talents, so as to gather strength and achieve great achievements.
03 In recent years, the word "pattern" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its essence is far more than just accommodating others and sharing profits, but also reflected in the height of thinking and the depth of strategy.
In the face of the turbulent times, Liu Bei was not satisfied with a corner of peace, and he put forward the grand goal of restoring the Han dynasty and returning it to the old capital. This vision attracted many people with lofty ideals to join his camp, including such a prodigy as Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei knew that it was impossible to maintain the foundation for a long time by force alone, and it was necessary to have a solid political concept and long-term strategic planning. Therefore, after the establishment of the Shu Han regime, he paid attention to the development of people's livelihood, stabilized the internal, united with Sun and Wu externally, and jointly resisted Cao, and gradually realized the pattern of three parts of the world.
Many people questioned Liu Bei's decision-making mistakes in the eastern expedition against Sun Wu, believing that the alliance should not be destroyed. However, from the overall point of view, Liu Bei's every choice is to achieve a grand cause. If there is no Liu Bei's foresight and foresight, Shu Han may be difficult to gain a foothold in the troubled times.
Liu Bei went from a down-and-out royal family to becoming the emperor of Shu Han, and experienced countless ups and downs. Although he was once just a small shoe seller, because of his profound personality, outstanding leadership and profound strategic vision, he successfully gathered a large number of loyal soldiers and jointly created the glorious era of Shu Han.
The journey of life is like a chess game, and every move and every step needs to judge the situation and focus on the overall situation. Only with an open mind and a grand pattern can we face unknown challenges, deal with them calmly, and finally embark on a broad road of life.
