How to treat the word "Lord of Gaogong Town"?

We all know that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." All wise people will manage talents in this way: both use and restrain. Sun Ce is such a wise man: Zhang Zhao is a very talented and capable person, so Zhang Zhao went to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce made him secretary-general and handed over all military affairs to Zhang Zhao. At that time, those literati and celebrities in the north only knew that there was a Zhang Zhao in Jiangdong, but they didn't know that there was a Sun Ce in Jiangdong. When someone writes to Jiangdong, he always gives all the credit to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao was very nervous when he received the letter. what should he do ？ I showed him these letters as if to show off myself. I didn't tell Sun Ce anything, so I can't say it clearly. It seems that I have personal ambition, which is embarrassing. Sun Ce laughed when he heard this, and said, Do you know Qi Huangong? Qi Huangong gave all military affairs to Guan Zhong, and called him Guan Zhong, that is, his uncle. His men went to Qi Huangong for instructions. Qi Huangong said that you should ask my uncle first, and then ask for instructions. He said you should ask my uncle. A man nearby said to Qi Huangong, "One sues Guan Zhong and the other sues Guan Zhong. How easy is it for you? " Qi Huangong said that this is easier said than done as a monarch. It was difficult for me before Guan Zhong, but it won't be difficult after Guan Zhong. He said that when the monarch has difficulties, he has hardships. What is his pain? Always looking for someone. Where is the monarch struggling? It is difficult to find talents. Once he finds talents, he will feel at ease. Sun Ce told this story to people around him, and said to Zhang Zhao, "One is Guan Zhong, the other is Guan Zhong, and Huan Gong is a tyrant. Now that I can use it, my fame is not mine? " Also said that Zhang Zhao is my Guanzhong, I have Zhang Zhao, there is no credit? Have I no reputation? Laugh. Sun Ce is very atmospheric and smart. Do you want to know what princes are most afraid of? He is most afraid of being regarded as a powerful person, or rather, he is afraid of being regarded as a powerful person, especially by his monarch. Because we know that many people kill heroes, one of the reasons is that merit covers the Lord and rewards them, so they kill their hearts. Sun Ce knew very well that to achieve something, someone must help him, and to make these people do their best, they must be relieved of their ideological burden. Then this story, Sun Ce, is equivalent to telling everyone that I don't have to be afraid to cover the Lord with high achievements. I'm not afraid that you will build the Lord with high achievements, and you can't build me. So Sun Ce is very atmospheric and smart.

The negative example is also famous: during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were three generals in the State of Qi-Gu Yezi, Gong Sunjie and Tian Kaijiang, who were arrogant and domineering. Qi Jinggong was very worried and wanted to get rid of them, but he couldn't find an excuse. Yan, the prime minister of Qi, thought that this kind of thing could only be solved by eating, so he bought two huge peaches and sent them to the general's office. It is said that the three generals will express their opinions and recommend the two who have contributed the most to eat these two peaches. At that time, Tanoko was just out. When Sun received Tian Kaijiang, he ate one by himself, feeling smug. When Tanoko came back, he flew into a rage when he heard about it. He thinks his advantages are much greater than those of the two of them. Tanoko felt that it was a great insult to have a higher vocational education without peaches, so he drew his sword and killed himself. When the other two learned about this, they felt that their contribution was not as high as Tanoko's, but they were greedy for peaches, so they were ashamed and committed suicide immediately. Yan Zi solved three warriors with only two peaches without a single soldier, and relieved the threat of Qi Jinggong. His political means reached its peak. This story is the famous "Two peaches kill three scholars". In fact, without those two peaches, the situation in Qi might have changed a lot!

However, what impressed me most was Han Xin who won the world for Liu Bang. His great achievements have come to a conclusion, and there are many opinions about his personal ending. Historians believe that the success or failure of the overlord of Chu is determined by his personality. "Character determines fate". Overlord, Han Xin is not so? In Han Xin, such as Huaiyin, the main achievements are to destroy Zhao, Wei, Qi, Yan, Chu and Qin. It can be said that 90% of the entire Korean family was shot down by him alone, and the problem also appeared. Thanks to Gao Zhen, at that time, the monarch did not reward such generals, but generally took their heads, so unfortunately, Han Xin was strangled by Liu Bang. It is said that Liu Bang promised him not to engage in "mass murder" all his life. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's quite timid. Such a powerful hero should die so miserably. If overlord Chu knows, can he still smile under the grave?

Zeng Guofan is a very clever man, and he won't make a wrong judgment like Tanoko. Tongzhi for three years (1864), on June 16th, the Xiang army led by Zeng Guofan conquered Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan died of illness, loyal Li Xiucheng was captured, and master Hong Tiangui was killed. After Xianfeng and Tongzhi emperors, the 12 year war of annihilating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally won the final victory. At this moment of celebration, Zeng Guofan, the "first hero", knows very well that what he is about to face will not be a reward from the court, but a suspicion of him. If you are not careful, you will encounter the bad luck of a dead rabbit and a dead dog. Zeng Guofan's political judgment was correct: at that time, although the Manchu court ordered Zeng Guofan to form an A Xiang army to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his doubts never diminished. Therefore, Zeng Guofan took the initiative to ask the imperial court to cut down the Xiang army on the grounds that "the Xiang army has been fighting for a long time, and its morale has been deep", so as to show the emperor and the imperial court that I am not Wu Sangui, and I have no intention to support the army and stand on my own feet. I am not an aspirant who abuses power for personal gain, but a defender loyal to the Qing court. What is even more intriguing is that Zeng Guofan made no mention of his personal future, although he loudly demanded to recall Xiang in his memorial. Because he knew that if he said in the memorial that he wanted to stay in the court, he would be suspected of being greedy for power and loving power; If he explicitly asks to be removed from office and return to his hometown in the memorial, there will be many suspects. Some people may think that he is unwilling to continue working for the court. It may also be regarded as the behind-the-scenes ambassador by many Xiang generals, which aroused the suspicion of the Qing court.

In fact, as chess pieces or subordinates, they are all afraid of overreaching. More precisely, they are afraid that their subordinates will think they are overreaching! If so, it would be a very tragic thing. We don't deny that arrogant people want to make contributions. At this time, the coach's personality charm is very important. As the saying goes, "A swift horse is easy to find, but Bole is hard to find", so as Bole, you only need to know horses with your eyes, so why run faster than a swift horse! A swift horse is a horse after all, and Bole is nothing if he reduces himself to a horse. Similarly, a pawn may become a general, but there is only one handsome one. What a handsome man should do is to command the general, but it is not necessarily better than the general's martial arts. The reason is simple, the key is to put your position right. A pawn can fantasize about his position, because he is only a pawn after all, and if Shuai is not confident in his talents and insists on shopping with the pawn to the end, it is tantamount to denying the position of Shuai and denying himself!
