What is so extraordinary about the First Strategist of the Three Kingdoms? This is admirable
When handing over Cao Cao with Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu generally behaved very reservedly, closed doors, and did not socialize with ministers. Even when his children got married, he didn't bother to make friends with the big family at the time.
Why is gaga like this?
Since he only joined Cao Cao's camp in the middle of his career, he was not considered Cao Cao's former minister, despite his talent and Cao Cao's high regard for him.
Cao Cao had so many people who followed him in his early years, and now Jia Xu, who came up later, was so valued, it was normal for them to be jealous.
No matter how powerful Jia Xu is, he can't escape the fire and black arrows.
This is also the reason why Jia Xu keeps a low profile and tries to hide his edge.
There are counter-examples to this.
Xu Yu played an important role in the Battle of Guandu, in which Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and captured Jizhou shortly after.
Xu You got carried away and called Cao Cao's nickname at the banquet, Cao Cao's nickname was"Hide", Xu Yu called Cao Cao in front of everyone"Hide"。
Xu You did this, not only because of his own merits, but also because he had a lot of fun with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was a child, and he was still called Cao Cao's nickname at that time.
Xu You was killed later, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Xu Chu killed him, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Cao Cao killed him, but it doesn't matter, judging from Xu You's words and deeds, he will die sooner or later.
When Er Baozun played with Taizu, every time he sits, not from the Qi realm, he whispered for Taizu, saying:"Ah, the minister is not commonplace, and neither is Jizhou. "Taizu smiled and said:"You say also. "
But Ja can't be invisible, and her abilities don't allow her to do so!
In the process of conquering Han Sui and Ma Chao, Xiliang's cavalry was very strong, and Ma Chao was also very brave, Cao Cao couldn't disperse them for a while, so he asked Jiao Huang for advice.
Jia Xu only said four words: let him go.
Cao Cao only replied with one word: solution. Meaning, I see.
The disintegration plan soon worked, and Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated.
Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, treacherous ways: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.
On the battlefield, no one dares to say that they will win, why did Jia Xu use four words to defeat a strong enemy?
In political and military conflicts, whoever understands humanity and the mentality of the opposing generals, wins.
Obviously, Jia Xu is such a person, Han Sui and Ma Chao have done their homework on these two people for a long time, and they have also found a breakthrough point, which seems to be a few four-word phrases that hide human nature.
This is what happened to Guo Jia.
When Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Wuhuan, Cao Cao had some doubts about whether he should attack Wuhuan. At that time, Liu Bei and Liu Biao were very strong in Jingzhou, and Wuhuan was thousands of kilometers away from Jingzhou, and if Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, then when Liu Bei and Liu Biao led their troops to attack Xudu, he would be in danger.
Guo Jia said to his son:"You can rest assured, Liu Bei will not come to attack Xu Du, because Liu Biao will stop him.
It can be said that Guo Jia knows Guo Jia's words very well, the relationship between Guo Jia and Liu Bei and Liu Biao, the temperament of Liu Bei and Liu Biao, and the position of all forces in Jingzhou, otherwise he would not be able to say these words.
What happened next happened as Guo Jia expected: Liu Bei prepared to gather a large army to attack Xudu, but was stopped by Liu Biao.
Liu Biao took Liu Bei with him because he wanted Liu Bei to be an anti-Cao force, but he didn't want Liu Bei to become big and affect his status, so Liu Biao didn't let Liu Bei take the initiative to attack Cao Cao's Xu Du. The fragile relationship between the two Lius was skillfully exploited by Guo Jia, who used it to attack Wu Huan.
Cao Cao is also good at perceiving human nature.
After defeating Wuhuan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Kang, the mansion in Liaodong.
Cao Cao's men persuaded him to take advantage of the situation to attack Gongsun Kang, the reason was very simple, the army set out from Xudu, it was not easy to travel thousands of miles, and now he should take advantage of the situation to continue the offensive and defeat Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in one fell swoop.
Cao Cao said, "I will cut off Kang's head and send Shang's head to Xie's head."""Do not alarm the soldiers.
That's a lot of trust.
The reason is also very simple, if Cao Cao attacks in a hurry, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and Gongsun Kang will inevitably join forces to defend, although Cao Cao has no certainty of victory, but he will not be able to attack for a long time. If Cao Cao retreated and left, both Yuan Xi and Gongsun Kang would fight for their own interests. Yuan Shu and Gongsun Kang both wanted to take refuge in Gongsun Kang, and once the fight started, of course Yuan Shu and Gongsun Kang would be killed, because they were both parasites and could not compete with Gongsun Kang.
Sometimes, Jarrett stands out.
Cao Zhi is a capable person, and Cao Pi is his eldest son, so Cao Cao did not decide on the candidate for the ** person for a period of time.
The heir battle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi naturally began.
Cao Pi took the initiative to find Jia Yan and asked him for advice.
It is extremely dangerous to fight one after another, and Jia Yan certainly knows the seriousness of this danger. He said to Cao Pi.
I hope that the general will restore his virtues"，"Do a vegetarian job"，"Always work hard and don't go against your son's path, full stop"。
These words can be said to be nonsense, because anyone can say them, including Cao Zhi. But these words may be Cao Pi's best strategy.
What does that mean?
To be honest, Cao Pi wants to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and play a little smart, but Cao Cao is a person who understands current affairs. He can also do his duty, fulfill his filial piety, and do what a son should do, that's all.
Cao Cao came to ask Jia Xu for advice on varicose veins.
Obviously, it's a gift.
Jia Xu was silent and listened quietly.
Cao Cao asked Jia Xu why he didn't answer?
Jia replied: He didn't speak, because he remembered two things at the time, so he didn't answer.
What happened to Cao Cao?
Jia Yan: I think of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.
Cao Cao laughed.
Yuan Shao and Liu Biao hesitated in choosing the best person, and their son fought for power, causing major civil strife, which was eventually eradicated by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was bent on choosing the best ** people, but he forgot the importance of identifying ** people as early as possible for political stability.
Jia Yueting's answer is very simple, the choice of ** people is very risky, they will quarrel, they will fight, this is human nature, only by determining the candidate of ** person as soon as possible can all this be suppressed.
Of course, making a choice as soon as possible is also a big advantage for Cao Pi.
This is the fascination of the authorities, the bystanders are clear, and a sentence woke up Cao Cao.
Zhuge Liang also encountered a similar situation.
After Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's camp, Guan Yu of Jingzhou wrote to Zhuge Liang and asked who could compare his martial arts with Ma Chao.
Zhuge Liang read the letter and immediately understood what Guan Yu meant: Guan Yu came to explore Ma Chao's ability and fight him!
Zhuge Liang replied, this is Ma Chao, he can be literate and martial, heroic, he is a generation of heroes, Brandon Buney, Peng Yue-Banshi, Zhang Fei, but a handsome beard will definitely not escape the eyes of your group.
The letter may have been a comfort to Guan Yu's pride, and Guan Yu was happy to distribute it to guests and staff.
Yu Wen Ma Chao landed, a gentleman, a pen and a book with Zhuge Liang, and asked him if he could be compared with the class teacher. Liang Zhi did not answer with Yu Shou, and said:"Meng Qi is so skilled in martial arts, a male martyr, a genius in the world, a tattoo, a pengzu and a race to be the first to take advantage of virtue, and he has not been the beard of the righteous spring. "Yu said:"It's a beautiful hair, and it's even a bright hair. Yu Province gladly presented the guest with a book.
The strategists of the Three Kingdoms, turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain, even if it is such a little clue, why they are so powerful, is only because they have insight into human nature and know people's hearts.
People need to eat when they are hungry and drink water when they are thirsty, which is a physiological need that no one is exempt from.
People will fight for profit, wealth, fame, status – and no one is immune to that desire.
This is human nature, and this is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War"Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles"："Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles"。
Jia Xu lived to be 77 years old and died well, which was a rare longevity at the time, and it was also one of the best endings among the strategists of the Three Kingdoms.
