Many times, you can't complete the tasks assigned to you by the company, not because you are incompetent, but because the leader does not trust you, and even restricts you everywhere, so that you cannot let go according to your own will.
This is not only the case inside the company, but also at the national level. Gong Shu commanded the Wei army and fought against the Qin army at Shaoliangyi, and originally only needed to adopt Shang Martin's plan to achieve victory. However, he did not do so.
01 Uncle Acne chose to fight
Uncle Gong led the Wei Wu pawn phalanx to fight fiercely with the Qin army, and although more than 20,000 people were killed, they also severely defeated the Qin army. The Qin army did not have much grain and grass, and it was strong in the spirit of war, but it was not good at combat strength and could not fight for a long time.
Therefore, Wei Jun still had a great chance of winning. As long as Gong Uncle Huan obeyed Wei Martin's plan and implemented the strategy of "Autumn Shou Spring War", then the Qin army would eventually fail due to the lack of follow-up strength. However, Uncle Gongxuan abandoned Shang Martin's clever plan.
Is uncle Acne thinking that Shang Martin's plan is wrong?
Of course not. Not only was it not, but he agreed with ShangMartin's analysis and planning. Shang Martin believed that Shaoliangyi was a fortress directly linking the Qin and Wei states, or a fortress that attacked the Zhao and Chu states. Therefore, the geographical location of this place is particularly important. For the State of Qin, as long as the Qin people occupied Shaoliangyi, they could reach an yi, the capital of the State of Wei, within half a day. This will mean the destruction of the Wei kingdom.
If the Wei army is victorious, then it can cross the Yellow River in the west and drive the Qin people back to the mountains of Longxi. This actually means that the Qin state was destroyed. Even if they still carried the banner of the State of Qin, the damage in essence was too great, and it would be impossible to pose any threat to the State of Wei in a short period of time.
Therefore, both of these aspects are inevitable for Shaoliangyi. This is the battle. However, the battle situation belongs to the battle trend, and it is not a victory, how should we fight it? Both sides are mobilizing troops.
As a student and middle son of Uncle Acne (i.e., a secretary position similar to today), Shang Martin had the responsibility to plan for Uncle Acne. His plan was the "Autumn Guard spring war". This means that autumn and winter cannot be held out, and when spring comes, there will be another big battle to destroy Qin in one fell swoop.
Is this strategy correct? That's right. This is because this is an accurate plan made on the basis of analyzing the basic national strength and battlefield situation of the two countries. The Victory of the Qin Army lies in the heart of battle, and the Victory of the Wei Army lies in the combat strength. However, although the war spirit is strong, in the end, it is still necessary to rely on the adequate supply of national resources to last, and this is precisely the shortcoming of the Qin Army.
If it cannot win in the short term, the Qin army will face the danger of collapsing soon, which is very unfavorable. And this was very beneficial to the State of Wei. Wei Jun could hold on to the danger and ensure that he was not passive. Wait for the Qin army to run out of grain and grass, you can attack them in one fell swoop.
While correct, can such a plan be implemented? No.
Although Gong Gong agreed with Shang Martin's plan, he was helpless to disagree with the King of Wei. No, the King of Wei had already sent his younger brother Gongzi To supervise the army. It is called reinforcements, but it is actually a supervision army. What is the purpose? Of course, it is to urge Uncle Acne to quickly attack and win.
This is still the superficial purpose, the more far-reaching purpose, and the purpose that is inconvenient to openly, that is, to let Gongzi And Gong Shu jointly direct the war and obtain political capital from the war. In this way, Gongzi Wei can compete with Gong Uncle Acne, so that in future government deliberations, it can become an important pole to restrict Gong Uncle Acne. To put it bluntly, King Hui of Wei was still not at ease with his uncle's acne.
For the purpose of this layer, uncle acne can be said to be well-known, but it is inconvenient to say clearly. How did he convince Shang Martin? He directly showed Shang Martin the secret edict of the King of Wei asking him to attack the Qin army as soon as possible, and took the opportunity to let Shang Martin understand his dilemma. After reading the secret edict, Shang Martin also understood that although Uncle Gong agreed with his plan, in the end he still couldn't resist the supreme willpower of the King of Wei, so he could only remain silent.
In the end, they decided to obey the will of Gongzi Wei and the King of Wei to fight a quick battle and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.
02 Why does Uncle Acne have to fight?
What is interesting is that Uncle Gongxuan insisted on fighting with Gongzi Jie even though he knew that it was unfavorable to fight, which was not nonsense?
On the surface, this is irresponsible, or as the old General Longja put it. But if you think about it, he really can only do that.
Shang Martin suggested that Uncle Gong would be exempt from the king's orders. Is that correct? Yes, it is also in line with common sense on the battlefield. However, don't forget, Gong Uncle Huan was originally commissioned by King Hui of Wei to fight the war. Moreover, King Hui of Wei had already issued a secret edict to him. Not only did he issue a secret edict, but he also sent his own brother to the front line to supervise the war.
People have come to the front line, and you still say you don't know? This is probably not possible. You say that the king's fate is not subject to it, do you dare? Maybe Gongzi Wei himself also carried other secret edicts of the King of Wei, which no one could say for sure, or at least Uncle Gong did not dare to take this risk. His best result was to obey the willpower that King Hui of Wei had brought through Gongzi Jiao.
The fundamental reason for this is that the State of Wei is the king of Wei and the royal family, not his uncle's acne. The State of Wei was founded by the ancestors of the people and passed on to him from generation to generation.
Yes, there are also many powerful people who can control state power, and even seek to seize the power of others, but Uncle Gong is not without such a skill, and people are still closely guarding him.
To put it bluntly, Uncle Acne is just a high-level migrant worker. In today's parlance, he is a general manager, but not a chairman, not even a real director.
You say that his status as a high-ranking migrant worker still dares to violate the instructions of the real boss? I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts, and it's not the best option for him to do so.
Therefore, Uncle Acne chose to fight. Even if you lose in the end, you will be punished at best, and there is a stupid straw bag that can share the guilt. However, if Gong Gong's acne directly violates the will of King Hui, it is equivalent to rebellion, and what is the result? I'm afraid it's not a punishment.
Therefore, his best choice can only be obedience and battle. But this also reflects a major problem, that is, King Hui of Wei actually played a trick of mutual restraint of power above the court.
03 The Court decides the outcome of the war
Since King Hui of Wei was the actual owner of the State of Wei, that is, the lord of the country, that is, the current chairman of the board, what way should he take to govern his country? The lord of the country actually has a sense of fear that ordinary people do not have. His greatest sense of fear was also the loss of power, to put it bluntly, the loss of obedience of his subordinates to the lord of the country.
Isn't King Wei Hui afraid? Of course he was afraid too. Therefore, he wanted to support the "power triangle" in the court led by him, that is, let Gong Shu, Pang Juan and Gongzi Jie achieve mutual restraint of the triangle. Only in this way, each corner could not gain too much power, and it was impossible to endanger the exercise of supreme power by King Wei Hui, and their triangles had to do their best to maintain The "co-lord" status of King Wei Hui.
This is understandable. However, this determined that Wei Huiwang's own political mentality and specific plots would directly affect the entire country's space for action in foreign wars. Who he trusts and whose plans he adopts are all direct manifestations of his level of governance, and of course directly affect the initiative and the possibility of victory in the war of the whole country.
In this Battle of Shaoliangyi, it seems that the Wei army commanded by Gong Shu and the Qin army led by Qin Xiangong are fighting, but in fact it is a duel between the Wei State Dynasty Hall and the Qin State Dynasty Hall.
The state of the court will directly affect the situation of the war. The structure of the court, the state of operation of the court, what is the basic state of the court when the war is launched, what kind of unified people can be sent, whether there is sufficient supply of grain and grass, whether there are follow-up restraint measures, how to make decisions on the battlefield, how the final combat strength is, whether the war spirit is strong, whether it can rebound and fight again quickly if frustrated, and whether there is a follow-up support force, will directly affect the final outcome of the war.
The basic state of the court is ultimately affected by the huge variable of the monarch's ability to govern the country. If the monarch's ability to govern the country is relatively strong, then he may exert his subjective initiative and make the not-so-good court better, so that he can gather more national strength and ensure that the country has gained something in the war.
If the monarch's ability to govern the country is relatively poor, even if there is a better chassis and a relatively large chance of winning, it will be consumed by the chaotic arrangement of the monarch. Even, if the monarch does make arbitrary arrangements, such as only taking power as the first priority, and arranging very bad war decision-making partners, such as Gong Shu and Gongzi Jie, then not only will the fighter be delayed, but it is likely to be defeated.
It can be seen that the political capacity of the national temple will directly affect and even determine the battlefield situation and the final outcome. If the forward master will not be able to dominate the decision-making of the war, it means that he will not be able to adapt in time to the situation on the battlefield, so that the war forces on his side will have a greater chance of victory.
04 If you are constrained by the leadership
Uncle Acne is the main general, in fact, he does not have the power to dominate the war, let alone how to promote the war situation to victory. This is true at the level of national warfare, and isn't it also true of everyone in the unit?
Yes, and so it is. In many companies, leaders may not be able to fully trust their subordinates. Assign you a job, but whether you can do it well is not only determined by the ability of your subordinate, more often, it depends on whether the leader will restrict you and restrain you.
If the leader doesn't trust you from the bottom of his heart, you're in danger. Because they may give you all kinds of sets, or even directly replace you at the moment of your efforts. In such a dangerous situation, as a subordinate, how can you serve the interests of the company wholeheartedly?
So, if you encounter such a unit or leader, what should you do?
If you can go under a better unit or leader, be brave enough to replace them. If you can't, just like uncle Acne in the TV series, you can only tie your fate to Wei Guo, then stay honest, but to have psychological expectations for such a leader, you must understand that under the leadership of such a leader, it is impossible to have much future. If that's the case, don't be too disappointed.
Of course, it is more important to avoid risks. If Uncle Gong can't implement the will of the leader Of Wei Huiwang in time, it means a great personal risk, and may even lose his life. If that's the case, it's not worth the loss. Therefore, as the accepting subject led by the leader, you still have to be able to recognize the situation in time and avoid risks.
