We live in an era when skills are developed and methods are rampant, sun tzu's art of war, thirty-six plans of various routines. So you say in the face of challenges, what if you don't have these routines? Never mind! When Cao Cao was in his sixties, one of the biggest challenges he faced was choosing who to succeed him. At first, he especially liked his younger son Cao Chong, but Cao Chong died young and died at a young age. The remaining two people, one is Cao Pi, one is Cao Zhi, Cao Cao at first especially liked Cao Zhi, because Cao Zhi is uniquely talented, he not only writes poetry well, but also the historical records that Cao Zhi's martial arts are also relatively high, and there are many strange strategies, Cao Zhi's thinking, thinking, and strategy are also particularly good! The most important point is that Cao Cao is more similar to Cao Cao when he was young, and generally parents will like the child who is more similar to himself. ay! Therefore, Cao Cao likes Cao Zhi very much, but Cao Zhi has the common shortcomings of all literary and artistic youth, like to drink more emotionally, emotionally exposed, easy not to care about the feelings of others, easy to stimulate others by casual speech, this is the problem of literary and artistic youth is not deep enough, not atmospheric enough, emotional stability is not enough. But Cao Pi is much better, Cao Pi is deep and atmospheric, low-key and introverted, concerned about others, and has a high emotional intelligence. The only drawback is that he is not as talented as Cao Zhi. Cao Cao thought, these two sons are going to be destroyed into a son, what if he can't do it? In the end, it was decided to conduct a core test, a battle to be decided, and a decisive victory. Conduct a key test, and I choose whoever performs well.
How to measure it?
Quite simply, at that time, Cao Cao's army wanted to march south to Zhang Xiu's troops, and before setting out, they lined up in the military field to fight the Wuxi cavalry behind
The infantry took a formation of tens of thousands of men at the front of the line. Then Cao Cao said to Xu Chu and Zhang Liao on the spot, "You two will go into the city."
Bring zi jianzi huan two sons to come, I have something to say. After the two came, Cao Cao said Zi Huan Zi Jian, I should have said a few words, but my voice is not very good, today I will not say. The father can't do anything, he should let the son do the work, so calling you two is to let the two of you make a speech to tens of thousands of troops on the spot, without having to prepare for the scene. I'll see who speaks well, and you see this is the impromptu test.
Cao Zhi's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, why? Cao Zhi said Father, I will talk about Cao Cao first, and say, Well, you come. Cao Zhi, deng deng on the stage to the middle of a station, open mouth there ah, ancient and modern, up and down five thousand years of gushing like a hanging river, just like the idiom dictionary into a fine da da da I can't read this according to the draft, this big brother is the leader to play this and this is what it is, over there Ah Cao Zhi is full of joy, today I am a high score pass, I must crush him, at the end, Cao Zhi bowed down, the whole audience shouted tsunami applause. Cao Cao also secretly pointed out that he was afraid that he would have to choose this child as his successor today. But for the sake of fairness, you also have to let people come to power! People can't do it, you also have to give a chance, so Cao Cao turned back to say Zi Huan, where people are almost finished, here Cao Pi's brain in addition to eating and drinking well, did not think of the third sentence, this how to do this? ay! It's supposed to be a moment of despair, but you have to remember that any moment of despair is one that creates wonderful moments. This is the time when Cao Zhi flashes, and it is also the time when Cao Pi shines even more!
This desperate moment, Cao Pi created the most brilliant one in his life, we said a sentence earlier, employees work with ability, leaders work with what? Use capable people, so you are worried that your eloquence is not good, you have to have capable people, Cao Pi's side has prepared four capable people. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that these four people are called Chen Qunwu called Zhu Le, those who engage in conspiracy are called Wu Zhi, and those who engage in Yang plotting are called Sima Yi, which are called four beams and eight pillars, one article and one martial art, one yin and one yang, you have to be a leader, you must have these four people around you, otherwise you will be passive. Cao Pi's side on these four people on the spot improvised speech, not according to the draft, immediately play, this belongs to the conspiracy, conspiracy to find who to find Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi bearded red face medium head, standing next to it, Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhi to make eyes, his own people do not have to speak. When Cao Pi looked at it, Wu Zhi had three actions, which three actions? This means that he is very strong, what if I can't do it? Don't talk to your own people, the tacit understanding is here, give a look to know what it means, hey, Cao Pi do this action Wu Zhi will know, we Gongzi have no words, he should talk, afraid of not passing, Wu Zhi dived to Cao Pi's ear and said a word, change Cao Pi's fate, change the form of the scene, change a sentence of Chinese history, upside down, this is the characteristics of the high people.
What is Wu Zhi talking about? Wu Zhi suppressed his voice and said, Gongzi Hugh is troubled, and he must cry with Dang! It means that the boss, you are looking for words, a moment on the stage, you don't do anything, you cry on the line, today is not the time to show eloquence, today is to show the feelings of father and son, don't make a mistake! Cao Pi immediately understood as soon as he heard it, crying, crying, yes! Here Cao Zhi bowed down, Cao Cao turned back and said Zi Huan, you also said two sentences, Cao Pi pedaled on the stage to look around the whole field, everyone in their hearts Wenchen martial generals all felt that this boss must not work, he has nothing to talk about, you see his situation, he has no words, Cao Cao also feels that Cao Pi has nothing to say, Cao Pi looked at the whole field and looked back at Cao Cao, and then said that his father's southern expedition is far away, the battlefield situation is dangerous and sinister, I heard their uncle and uncle say that you still have to take the tiger and leopard cavalry, you have to personally lead the charge, you are more than sixty years old, The sideburns are white, the thought of you still risking your life to contribute to the country, I am particularly worried in my heart, because you are too old, what to do if there is a three long and two short when charging, the thought of you risking your life, at this moment, my brain is blank, my heart is a mess, I can't remember a word, I want to have no words in my head for half a day, I just have a sentence, Dad! You pay attention to safety, after talking about wow tears will come down, hissing crying, buzzing crying, the last hug Cao Cao wow wow crying, old Cao Cao is more than sixty years old, the sideburns are white, the southern conquest of the northern war, the east and west to kill the enemy beat their own people, clean up the opponent, clean up the teammates, when sleeping to kill people, everyone knows that this story is afraid of people to sneak attack, tell them not to come near me, I killed people in my dreams, and as a result, I kicked the quilt up a staff member to cover the quilt, Cao Cao was worried about assassinating himself, drew his sword and cut him off, He tangled into this, why Cao Cao had a serious headache and nervous breakdown, never felt the beauty of life, the warmth of feelings, all day long to guard against others, cao cao, who was in his sixties, was held in the arms of that son, the tears wet his shoulders, the old Cao Cao was moved for a while, the sorrow came from it, he hugged Cao Pi with his backhand and said, Son, you also pay attention to safety, the father and son duo hugged the headache and cried, the wenchen warriors were all moved, everyone said it was just that, this is called kissing the son, you see the love of the father and son, you see what the goods just had , father is going to play for his life, he also has the whole speech and eloquence, really no humanity, glory and wealth is so good, even the father does not want it? This kind of inhumanity, absolutely can not choose him as the leader, to choose is to choose this flesh and blood heavy feelings, Cao Cao hugged Cao Pi, and secretly resolved in his heart, do not choose good, do not choose bad, do not choose high, do not choose low, just choose this intimate and emotional.
So in this key test, Cao Pi passed the high score, then this historical case reminds us of a point of view of Lao Tzu, and there is a very important point of view recommended to everyone in The Taoists, called simplicity wins over wisdom, soft wins strong! If there is a person who is particularly strong, you use a flexible strategy to defeat him, if there is a person who is particularly clever, you use a simple method to defeat it, simplicity is better than cleverness, softness is better than strong, the most scarce thing in our era is sincerity and nature! If you don't have any routines and it doesn't matter, you will take out the sincere and natural tears to express your feelings, and you will pass the high score by crying a nose. The higher his routine, the higher your score, which is called simplicity wins cleverness. Because the teacher I have no tears, there are tears you cry out, really there are no tears in life, please squeeze out the artistic life, you can cry on the line, so Cao Cao's army pulled up the camp and went, alas, Cao Pi has the bottom in his heart, I was selected, that night the draught did not forget to dig the well, Cao Pi feasted on the four friends of the prince, the staff worked with ability, the leader worked with the ability, there were no four gentlemen, I could not go today, thank you to the four gentlemen, especially full of a glass of wine, tribute to Wu Zhi, Mr. Wu, your trick is too great, I cried, Defeated the big talent who was hanging in the river, too powerful, during the banquet to pay tribute to Wu Zhi a glass of wine, to express respect and gratitude, after drinking this cup of wine, Wu Zhi inscribed four big characters for Cao Zhi, art life!
