The Tang Dynasty peaked in Kaiyuan and ended in Kaiyuan, and this prosperous world and the end are inseparable from a person, he is An Lushan.
Looking at the history of An Lushan's ascension to the throne, he found that this was a master of human feelings who was underestimated by comments, and his success was inseparable from several major characteristics he had.
Delicate inside, thoughtful
An Lushan was born in the Western Regions kangguo father died early and had a cold family, so he had to flee the Turks to seek a livelihood, proficient in the Language of the Nine Domains and relying on huayan and bravery to become a general and a righteous son of Zhang Shoujue, the governor of Youzhou.
Later, he repeatedly built military merits, and his career was frank, and he was made an envoy to the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, and was named the king of Dongping County, and the northeast region of Zhenfu became a hegemon.
And An Lushan's ability to have this achievement and his smooth handling of things are inseparable, and it is inseparable from the fact that Zhang Shoujue hated him for being too fat at that time, and An Lushan restrained himself from eating less, and his xiao yong and good warfare were very popular and heavily used in this chaotic Youzhou territory.
He seems to be fat and thick, but in fact he is delicate in heart, and he knows that people's words are fearsome, so it has become a common means for him to accumulate wind reviews by some officials who come and go to say good things for him.
After accumulating a certain momentum, if you want to go further, you need to become a red person around the ruler, An Lushan at this time reflected that he was different from others, won the favor of Yang Yuhuan and was accepted as a righteous son, entered the palace to see Tang Xuanzong first to visit Yang Guifei, An Lushan used:"
The subject is a Hu person, and the Hu people put their mother in front and their father in the back. ”
This sentence cleverly made Tang Xuanzong very happy to hear from both public and private aspects, so he stood out from many people, and thus received the attention of the Ming Emperor and ruled the three towns.
Good at attracting talents
Soldiers who did not want to be generals were not a good soldier, An Lushan was obviously not satisfied with this in secret preparation for rebellion, and built Xiongwu City north of Fanyang County, which on the surface seemed to be defensive against aggression, but in fact, stored weapons and grain to accumulate strength for rebellion, An Lushan knew that the strength of the empire was only the end of the crossbow, and the vast territory and strategic needs were simply unsustainable at the level of production and population at that time, but at this time it was difficult to ride the tiger.
Knowing people and recruiting talents, An Lushan was well versed in this way, he gathered Zhang Tongru, Li Tingjian, Ping Xian and others around him, and let Gao Shang preside over the secretary's work, and Liu Luogu lurked in Chang'an as an intelligence officer to inquire into intelligence and know himself.
Because of the accumulation of An Lushan in the early period, Yang Guozhong, the prime minister in time, told the emperor that An Lushan was going to rebel, and the emperor did not believe it at all, not to mention that An Lushan's son An Qingzong was still in the capital, but the fact was unexpected by Xuanzong.
An Lushan swept towards the imperial capital with the banner of Qing Jun's side and The Banner of Guozhong, which not only reflected An Lushan's fierce disregard for his son's life, but also reflected An Lushan's cleverness in creating public opinion for his own rebellion, thus occupying the moral high ground.
In addition, the army led by An Lushan was a tiger and wolf division that fought all year round, An Lushan's military discipline was severely rectified, and there were soldiers who could fight with death, and no one was not a hundred, and the imperial army was bound to lose the battle when it encountered it.
However, the defenders in the interior were accustomed to being obviously inferior in combat effectiveness, and the rebels were unstoppable under the intention of calculating and inadvertently attacking the eastern capital Luoyang and establishing a pseudo-Yan regime.
Even famous generals such as Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Guo Ziyi, who are well known to posterity, are difficult to resist, even more so than the famous general Ge Shuhan who is stained with blood and the ma ge shroud, in the face of the rebel imperial court Wen wu people's disorganized hearts and minds, resulting in the last barrier before the imperial capital Tong Pass was breached, and Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee to Western Shu for refuge.
Dormant, stoic
An Lushan grew from a grass dweller to a pseudo-Yan emperor by relying on one - boiling. This kind of boiling is not a dead boil, but a clever boiling, if you want to be famous in the official arena, it is unrealistic to expect that suddenly the pie in the sky will fall one step up to the sky, and if you want to succeed, you must be like a spider coiled in a web, slowly forming your own circle of interests, and then boiling, dormant, accumulating your own "potential", and the key moment will burst out to make everyone look sideways.
The gift of all fate has already been secretly marked with a price, isn't it?
An Lushan knows how to be patient, even if he is ridiculed by others because of his fat body, he is not ashamed but can use his stupid appearance to confuse the other party, gain the trust of the other party, and then borrow the "potential" of others to raise his own "potential", and maximize his own conditions into his own advantages, rather than self-pity.
The quality of interpersonal relationships will also determine the size of your chances of success, a person's strength and resources are always limited, how to use interpersonal relationships will determine the height of your growth, through the integration of surrounding resources to achieve their own goals is the choice of smart people.
How to please others is a key point, and to do what is good is the essence of pleasing others, An Lushan bribes officials with property, treats his subordinates enwei and makes his subordinates obey himself from the heart, while in the face of high-ranking people, such as playing with treasure and being generous to the emperor, he is extremely respectful of the emperor's cronies, especially those like Li Linfu who eat by mouth, far more powerful than swords.
How to build public opinion that is beneficial to oneself is also the only way to succeed.
An Lushan created a general trend by borrowing the name of the Qing Emperor's side when he started his army, and An Lushan rebelled from Fanyang, falsely claiming that he would lead his troops to fight against the rebellious Minister Yang Guozhong.
He led hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf divisions, wearing stars and wearing moons, the sun and the moon, and advanced sixty miles a day. Their own sergeants felt that they were righteous divisions whose combat effectiveness had greatly increased, and Tang Dynasty non-commissioned officers would be somewhat hesitant and confused in the early stages of the war, resulting in mistakes on military aircraft, some important towns and passes were easily captured, large areas of territory were occupied by rebels, and even Luoyang, known as the eastern capital, was also captured, which shows how important it is for the division to be famous.
From the early stage of An Lushan, we can realize from it that the success of a thing is inseparable from the favorable time and place, learn to be patient, accumulate momentum, effectively use their own conditions to deteriorate the superiority, establish a correct network of relationships, will observe the color, know how to use public opinion, and do the above points Why worry about whether a thing is not successful, whether it is in the workplace or in the business field, if you can do these points, you can also reverse the situation like An Lushan.
