As the saying goes, "One word rejuvenates the country, the other word mourns the country." "At critical moments, the power of language is far greater than that of a butcher's knife.
When Cao Cao went south to prepare to attack Eastern Wu, Eastern Wu was immediately divided into two factions, and it was difficult to decide whether to fight or to fight for a while. For this reason, Sun Quan deliberately recalled Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was difficult to decide for a while.
Faced with this situation, Zhuge Liang lightly informed Zhou Yu that Cao Cao's real purpose in going south was actually only for Big Qiao and Little Qiao, and as long as the two women were handed over, they could calm things down. And Big Qiao is the wife of the late Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu's wife is Xiao Qiao.
It was precisely because of Zhuge Liang's words that the fire of Chibi was ignited, and the three kingdoms were formed. And the lives of six people in the Three Kingdoms were buried by five sentences, and their lethality was no less than the Green Dragon Crescent Knife in Guan Yu's hand when he slashed six generals in five levels.
Among the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu was undoubtedly the bravest warrior. Just as the so-called "Lü Bu among the people, the red rabbit among the horses", everyone talked about Lü Bu and avoided it, for fear of short engagement on the battlefield.
During the dictatorship of Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu, as Ding Yuan's righteous son, beat Dong Zhuo's troops to escape for more than thirty miles. Dong Zhuo's men and horses were brought to the Central Plains from Xiliang, not only the horses were tall, but the soldiers were also stronger than the Central Plains. Such a unit was still beaten by Lü Bu, and its combat effectiveness could be imagined.
Later, Dong Zhuo used the red rabbit horse to adopt Lü Bu for his own use, and Lü Bu became Dong Zhuo's righteous son again. After Wang Yun set up a series of plans, Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu turned against each other for the sake of the mink cicada. After stabbing Dong Zhuo to death, Lü Bu became one of many warlords.
Lü Bu's presence makes it difficult for everyone to sleep, and its terrifying combat power is something that everyone is reluctant to mention. After Cao Cao dragged Lü Bu down through fatigue tactics, he finally had the opportunity to get rid of him. At this time, Lü Bu also proposed to worship Cao Cao as his righteous father, and Cao Cao was shaken by this proposal.
When Cao Cao, who was undecided, asked Liu Bei for his opinion on this matter, Liu Bei said thoughtfully: "Doesn't the public see Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo? With one word, Cao Cao gave up all his beautiful fantasies and resolutely killed Lü Bu.
Prior to this, Lü Bu had helped Liu Bei avoid war by shooting at the Gate, and before being killed, Lü Bu had pleaded with Liu Bei to intercede with Cao Cao on his behalf, and Liu Bei also acquiesced to Lü Bu's request. However, when Cao Cao asked him for advice, Liu Bei still gave Lü Bu a fatal blow without mercy.
The real terrible thing about this sentence is that although there is no explicit reply to Cao Cao, the fate of Lü Bu's first two righteous fathers is obvious to all. Once Lü Bu was taken in, the fate was self-evident. Cao Cao was already suspicious by nature, and he had learned from the past, and as soon as Lü Bu said this, he would undoubtedly die.
Zhuge Liang was undoubtedly the most eloquent of the Three Kingdoms. When he went to Eastern Wu to persuade Sun Quan to unite against Cao, Eastern Wu was full of talents, and Zhuge Liang single-handedly fought against Confucianism, and refuted the Eastern Wu lords and factions one by one, which became a famous scene in the Three Kingdoms that left a deep impression.
And at the end of the debate, Zhuge Liang also made a profound summary of Sun Quan, pointing out that everyone could surrender to Cao Cao, but Sun Quan did not even have room to surrender. Because after the others surrendered, they were nothing more than a change of lord, and sun Quan, who was originally the lord, where will he go after surrendering?
This remark can be described as a direct hit to the point, which is also the biggest concern in Sun Quan's heart. At this point, Sun Quan had initially agreed with Zhuge Liang's joint anti-Cao proposal, but his heart was still wavering. When Zhou Yu made up his mind to resist Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's alliance was unbreakable.
It can be seen that Zhuge Liang can be called a master of language, and his views are logical and rigorous, dripping water, improvisation and witty. What such a person wants to promote will most likely succeed.
Zhuge Liang's eloquent talent is not only reflected in this matter, but also in the confrontation with Wang Lang, he is also meticulous in his thinking, scolding Wang Lang to the point of exhaustion.
Zhuge Liang took Wang Lang's political stance as a breakthrough point, pointing out that Cao Cao's name was Han Xiang, but he was actually a Han thief. As an old minister of the Han Dynasty, Wang Lang not only did not serve the emperor, but also colluded with Cao Cao, which was really incorruptible and shameful, leaving Wang Lang speechless.
Finally, Zhuge Liang said, "I have never seen such a brazen person!" The verdict on Wang Langgai's coffin made Wang Lang full of anger and died of vomiting blood on his horse. Such justified insults have turned the murderous battlefield into a moral court of condemnation of the enemy, proving that language is the most powerful weapon.
Zhuge Liang not only showed no mercy to the enemy, but also showed no mercy when unstable factors appeared in his own camp. When discussing with Liu Bei the development of the Shu state and the appointment of talents, Zhuge Liang was very calm and rational.
When talking about Liu Feng, Liu Bei was very satisfied with this righteous son. However, Zhuge Liang said: "Sealing gang fiercely, it will be difficult to control after Yi Shi." This means that Liu Feng's personality is too tough, and in the future, the Shu kingdom will be passed on to Liu Chan, and it will be difficult for Liu Chan to restrain him at that time.
Zhuge Liang's words were exactly what Worried Liu Bei was most worried about in his heart. Liu Feng was certainly very good, but after all, he was not Liu Bei's own son. Although Liu Chan was his own flesh and blood, his ability was really mediocre. The throne of Shu Han was to pass to Liu Chan in the future, and it was difficult to guarantee that Liu Feng would not harbor ill intentions.
When talking about Peng Xi's personality, Zhuge Liang pointed out even more bloodily: "With a broad heart and broad ambitions, it is difficult to be safe. "Bluntly pointed out that this person was too ambitious and was a potential threat to the Shu state.
It was precisely because of this conversation that Liu Bei had a grudge against the two of them, and later got rid of them, solving Liu Chan's worries for liu Chan.
And Zhuge Liang's most famous case of the death of popularity is the three Qi Zhou Yu, this incident can be described as a household name. When Zhou Yu was angry to the point of vomiting blood for the second time, Zhuge Liang calculated that he not only broke the conspiracy of Eastern Wu's house arrest, but also made Sun Quan's sister willingly return to Jingzhou with Liu Bei.
When Zhou Yu led his army to pursue, Zhuge Liang also set up an ambush, causing Zhou Yu to suffer a big loss. After that, he also asked the soldiers to shout on the way to Zhou Yu's retreat: "Zhou Lang's brilliant plan is to secure the world, and he has lost his wife and folded the soldiers!" "Humiliate it as a way.
Zhou Yu became weaker through this and died after the defeat in the battle for Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang was not only able to speak eloquently when he was alive, but he still did not forget to mend the sword even after his death. When Wei Yan and Huang Zhong defected to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang saw that Wei Yan was capricious and would rebel in the future, and wei Yan still had some scruples when he was alive, and once he died, he would turn against him.
Later events proved that Zhuge Liang was like a god. As for Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang also had already made arrangements. When Wei Yan shouted triumphantly, "Who dares to kill me!" At that time, Ma Dai, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted, "I dare to kill you!" After that, Wei Yan's head fell to the ground.
The energy of one's words is immeasurable. A sentence at a critical moment can even be worth thousands of troops. This is also the reason why Liu Bei also wanted to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain no matter what. As long as Zhuge Liang can help himself, it is equivalent to having countless soldiers.
It is precisely because of this that the ancient saying is that "noble people speak late". All the people with high positions of power know what weight their words have, so they will say them after repeated consideration. How to use our tongue well is something that everyone should think about carefully.
