The Secret of Guandu's Success or Failure _ Gossip Three Kingdoms

& gt As the saying goes, two tigers are not allowed in one mountain, which is an accurate description of the world. During the period, they were the strongest, and they became stronger and stronger. Of course, they didn't buy it, so these two people obviously wanted to fight it out. & gt& gt In this world, it is probably impossible for two great powers to meet and be polite and peaceful. It is not unheard of to shake hands and talk happily for a while, but in the end, there is always a showdown, and one of the two strong people has to surrender to the other in order to live in peace. All troubles at home and abroad, from wars between countries to contradictions between people, are caused by this struggle of surrender and unwillingness to surrender. In the face of interests, absolute friends are rare, and we should decide the depth of friendship according to our own gains and losses. Therefore, although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were like-minded in their early years, it was impossible to even dream of who they wanted to eat after the two men were equally divided. The evaluation of Yuan Shao in "The History of the Three Kingdoms" is: "Handsome and dignified, able to follow the current scholars and scholars, and Mao is less friendly." "When it is, heroes pay more attention to it, and they all think about it. The state swarmed, worthy of the name. " "Shao is generous and elegant, and there are degrees. Worry and joy are invisible. "So in family status, political prestige, personal charm, public opinion, are more appealing than cao cao. Because of this, Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao was a lean man, but he didn't take him to heart. Although Cao Cao despises Yuan Shao and knows that he is not as great as advertised, he is actually very ordinary. But for his strength, the bottom of my heart is a little scared. & gt& gt At this time, who is afraid of who is considering from the strength. & gt& gt In the pattern of heroes fighting each other and fighting endlessly, Cao Cao said, "I am confused, and I am afraid that Shao will invade Guanzhong, and the western Shu will be chaotic, and the southern Shu will be lured. What should I do? " Starting from the weakness of only one sixth, we can pay less attention to Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and Sun Ce. But he didn't dare to take Yuan Shao seriously. So he set foot on Xudu. The first thing he did was to woo Yuan Shao, became an official Xu Jue in his name, and soon sealed a Qiu to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao refused to accept this feeling and put on airs. In order to compromise temporarily, Cao Cao had to give him the position of general. It is inevitable that the>& gt will compete with each other, and Cao and Shao will have a decisive battle. & gt& gt Cao Cao beat Yuan Shao's 70,000 people with 70,000 people, which was a famous battle in history. The battle of Guandu is very important to Cao Cao. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, winning the Central Plains was equal to winning the world. If you want to win the world, you must first take the Central Plains. If Yuan Shao is not removed, the Central Plains will be in Cao Cao's hands, which is his eternal worry. And Yuan Shao has an overwhelming advantage in strength. Sooner or later, if you don't eat him, he will eat you. Therefore, after Cao Cao marched into Luoyang and moved the capital to Xuchang, on the one hand, he granted officials to appease the enemy, on the other hand, he excluded Lu Bu, pursued Liu Bei, repelled Yuan Shu, caressed Sun Ce, and cleared the surrounding area, which was also preparing for the complete elimination of Yuan Shao. & gt& gt In the face of powerful enemies, Cao Ying is under great psychological pressure from top to bottom. Some people lost money privately with Yuan Shao, while others spread a sense of failure. For Cao Cao, as the commander in chief, it is also full of doubts whether he can defeat the strong with the weak and surpass him in number. He once said: "Yuan Shao, according to Hebei Province, the army was stronger than Ma Zhuang, and he died in the world. However, he was really defeated by it, but he died for his country and destroyed himself with righteousness, and he fell behind." So who is afraid of who on the eve of this decisive battle is not just a question of military strength. To carry out such a big war, we must make comprehensive consideration covering politics and economy in the strategic guiding ideology. It is the most crucial step to fight not only military battles, but also political battles. & gt& gt His counselor Guo Fengxiao's theory of ten wins and ten defeats actually consolidated Cao Cao's psychological advantage in theory. Xun refuted Kong Rong's thought of being afraid of Yuan, and also fundamentally analyzed the real situation of Yuan Shao's seemingly powerful but actually weak. Politics is empty, but it can play a role that guns can't play in enhancing morale, improving morale, inspiring people and going forward bravely. & gt& gt After Liyang confronted Jin Ting, Cao Cao was confident that he could find a fighter plane to fight Yuan Shao. & gt& gt In the first world war, Yuan Shao was defeated like a mountain, losing in his mental state. An army without thinking can't win this battle. Yuan Shao's defeat is inseparable from his character of "forgiving the outside and avoiding the inside, resourceful, indecisive, talented but unable to use, and smelling his goodness but unable to tolerate". The confrontation between the two armies is, of course, a contest of intelligence between the commanders of both sides. A Yuan Shao, who is "conceited and lacking in goodness", either put Tian Feng in prison or drove Xu You out of the barracks. Others, such as giant hand and Shen Pei, were the best counselors at that time and were loyal to him, so they abandoned them. How can they be better than Corporal Li Xian? I heard that Xu You came down in the middle of the night, jumped out of bed barefoot and couldn't wait to see Cao Cao? & gt& gt Yuan Shao has not shown any special talent since he sent his troops to denounce him. This is no different from many mediocre people we later saw in real life. They can't even say a complete sentence. Due to historical misunderstanding, they actually lived in a private house and ate vegetarian food. If you are willing to do nothing, the people under his rule may be a blessing. And the more such creatures, the more restless, the more unpopular. Many mistakes in decision-making, including what we know, can find the source of the bad factors of personal character from these failures. In the end, it was destroyed, but the unlucky ones followed the unlucky people. & gt& gt There is a passage in Chen Shou's "The History of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei and Emperor Wudi": "When Shao and Gong * * * went to war, Shao asked Gong,' Why not make things up?' The palace said, "What does the first step mean?" Shao said,' I rely on the great river in the south, resist Yan and Dai in the north, and serve Di people in the south to compete for the world. "Can I help you?" Gong said, "I am the wisdom of the world, and I will fight it with Tao." ">& gt Yuan Shao relies on strength, and his capital is territory and military forces. Cao Cao knows that his strength is far behind, but he knows how to make use of the world's intelligence and intangible wealth called Tao, which is essentially a kind of spirit and politics. As a result, Cao Cao won. & gt& gt Therefore, those who value material things over spirit, or trust their own power and wealth too much, but don't care much about the political quality of ideological, spiritual and cultural literacy, should learn from the historical lessons of the Three Kingdoms period. The Three Kingdoms of Machiavelli is a textbook about Machiavelli's tactics. Therefore, the beauty of this book lies in intrigue, in the counselor who makes intrigue, and in the master who uses intrigue. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, various princes scuffled, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had the most advisers. These advisers are not low in strategy, but Cao Cao benefited from many advisers, but Yuan Shao was largely defeated by those advisers who were too capable. > > When talking about Yuan Shao in "Lessons Learned from Mutual Aid", it was said that he was "shorter than doing good deeds", which was an official evaluation and was generally accurate. Yuan Shao, who was born in the imperial palace and after the Fourth World Expo, was fatally wounded because he did not listen to the right path and did not take good advice. & gt& gt Yuan Shao was once a very appealing person because of his family relationship. The History of the Three Kingdoms says that he "can be a corporal and be attached to a sergeant". Some of his advisers are actually very knowledgeable. But he is "forgiving the outside and avoiding the inside, resourceful, indecisive, talented but unable to use, smelling incense and unable to accept." If a person wants to have such a problem, there is no other way but to go to destruction. His advisers watched him collapse, but there was nothing they could do. They could only choose to be buried with him or abandon him to survive. & gt& gt "Jushou and Tian Feng are loyal ministers." Kong Rong is right. Who is Yuan Shao? Don't these two counselors know? Knowing that you can't do it, the tragedy happened here. People should have a choice, be used by others, and have a choice. Good birds choose wood to live in, which is still very good. Lombardi finally reached the point of suspicion, which is the degree of scheming. How can such a person be unbeaten? And the counselor knows that he is not the master, and he will be defeated, knowing without breaking, and he deserves to die. & gt& gt The battle of Guandu, in which Cao Cao fought Yuan Shao's 700,000 troops with 700,000 troops, is a typical example of defeating the strong with the weak in military history. Cao Cao dared to fight this battle because he saw the essence that the enemy was strong but not strong, and his own strength was thin but not weak. The words "good at fighting, good at fighting" are enough to explain why Cao Cao won. When he was besieged by Yuan Shao, he heard that Xu You had betrayed Yuan Shao and went out to meet him before he had time to put on his shoes, which showed his thirst for talents. After some probing, he listened to others' words and good suggestions, selected people without doubting others, and made plans without doubting others. Can such a commander in chief have no chance of winning? & gt& gt In this war, due to the general's incompetence, Yuan Shao naturally became a member of the clique, linking up with each other inside and outside, causing trouble and destroying each other. Coupled with different calculations, different interests, and any despicable means, it will be certain. Because lying in the nest is the specialty of China people, it is even better for counselors to punish their own people. & gt& gt At the beginning, Shen Pei and Guo Tu were on the same side, resulting in Jushou's death, Tian Feng's killing, staying, Zhang Taihe Gao and Yuan Shao's defeat. Later, when Yuan Shao died, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan brothers fought, and Shen Pei and Ji Feng plotted against Yuan Shang. Guo Tu and Xin commented on the other side and made suggestions for Yuan Tan. All these advisers, except one Wang Xiu, fought hand-to-hand and they all contributed to the escalation of the civil war. Therefore, if a country, a group, a department, a unit, there is a phenomenon that small groups have the same interests, appeal to each other, form gangs, and secretly communicate, it means that there must be something wrong with the operation mechanism of the whole, which is a serious illness. & gt& gt A gentleman does not belong to the Party, which is a saying of Confucius. The party, that is, cronies, is a group that unites for the purpose of fighting for power and profit and excluding dissidents. A gentleman can be understood as a decent person, that is to say, decent people do not engage in dishonest activities of collusion between officials and businessmen. This factionalism is not only a specialty of China, it exists in different forms in all countries, political parties, government organizations, religious, cultural and social groups, as well as mafia, beggars' gangs, cheating and pickpocketing secret organizations. & gt& gt But foreigners engage in factional activities, including conspirators and conspirators. Make your point publicly, don't hide it. This may be related to their social mechanism, that is, we often criticize the "fake democracy" in the West. We can allow some differences in views and practices. Of course, we also do this for show. However, under thousands of years of feudal rule, China society formed the habit of listening to only one voice, that is, the emperor's golden advice. Therefore, cronies, that is, hills, sects, small groups, small circles and so on. , are operating in secret, sneaking around, sneaking around, flirting, tacitly, never dare to open in broad daylight. Even if the inner rebellion, concealment and time bomb have begun to count down, the dog's loyalty is still on his face, and the cat's sweet, sincere and United song is still singing. & gt& gt A close friend is a corrosive agent. If it is open, it can still play a role of checks and balances, which may be beneficial. If it is underground, it is harmful. & gt& gt So besides his personal factors, Yuan Shao's defeat was accelerated by the infighting of these advisers. As the saying goes, "dragons don't control water" is the truth. If you can harness these dragons like Cao Cao, you will be in good weather and in the prime of life. If Yuan Shao is indecisive, his dragon will be in trouble.
