Liu Bei's art of recognizing people: whether to reuse a person, mainly depends on these three points, no wonder Zhao Yun is snubbed
Introduction: It is said that Liu Bei is very capable of knowing people, when he was young, he had nothing to discover that Guan Yu, who sold dates, and Zhang Fei, who sold pork, were very capable, so he drew him to his side through the means of righteousness and helped him fight for a lifetime; knowing that Zhuge Liang had the talent of heaven and earth, he did not hesitate to surrender his identity and ran to Zhuge Liang's home many times to visit him, and later Zhuge Liang was impressed and immediately helped him establish Shu Han and divide the world; before his death, he also knew that Ma Mo could not be reused, otherwise it would lead to great failure. Later, Zhuge Liang did not listen, which caused the street kiosk to fail, causing Shu Han to miss the possibility of the best flip. It can be seen that this ability is very clever, and he looks at whether this person can reuse it, mainly looking at three points. Is it three points?
The first point is to see if the person has an anti-bone. This anti-bone is not a bone, but ambition. Because people with ambition will be driven to do things. When Liu Bei attacked Changsha that year, Wei Yan took the opportunity to open the city gates, and Liu Bei was able to easily take changsha city. At that time, Zhuge Liang felt that Wei Yan was restless and suggested that he be killed, but Liu Bei not only kept him, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, making him the post of Taishou of Hanzhong. Wei Yan's later performance was also obvious to all, Cao Wei was unable to cross the border for half a minute when he was guarding Hanzhong, and the northern part of the Shu state had been at peace.
The second point is to see whether this person has unusual boldness, and the most prominent manifestation of this point is the Fa-rectification. When Liu Bei had just taken Jingzhou, Fazheng wrote to Liu Bei to cooperate with him to take Yizhou. Later, Liu Bei successfully captured Yizhou according to Fazheng's plan; during the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Wei's famous general Xiahou Yuan was indispensable, and at that time, Fazheng quickly discovered his flaws on the front line, and for this fleeting fighter, Fazheng advised Liu Bei to quickly send cavalry to attack, and later Xiahou Yuan was killed on the spot, and Liu Bei reversed the situation and won the final victory of the war. Both times highlighted the importance of the plot, and at the same time gave Liu Bei great territory.
The third point is to see whether this person is loyal or not, which is extremely prominent throughout the Shu Han army. Because he started from scratch, he was not competitive at all compared to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, who came from a family of officials and eunuchs, so his biggest feature was that he could unite the people around him. No matter who is impressed by his loyalty, he will work with him with all his heart, and no matter how tired he is, he will not fall behind. An unfaithful and unrighteous person like Liu Feng could not save Guan Yu from death, even if he was Liu Bei's righteous son, even if he was the successor of King Ding, but Liu Bei killed him, which shows how much he values the quality of loyalty and righteousness.
Everyone will think that Liu Bei is very interested in Zhao Yun, but in fact, there is no, Liu Bei snubbed him instead. When the Shu Han Dynasty was founded, a number of generals had already been added to the core of power, but Zhao Yun was only a general of the Yi Army, not even a marquis, and Liu Bei did not even let him lead the army alone like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan, but settled him in Chengdu Gongshu. This was because Zhao Yun only had loyalty, but he had no ambition and would not be strange, and he could only keep to himself in Liu Bei's hands, a position that was not salty and not light, and he was snubbed for a lifetime.
Conclusion: From the perspective of posterity, Liu Bei's art of knowing people is indeed clever, if a person has ambition, he will naturally work hard and strive to get what he wants; if this person is flexible in mind and good at thinking, his development will be better and the prospects will be greater if he does not take the usual path. No wonder Liu Bei was able to start from scratch more than a thousand years ago, and his ability played too much of a role.
