In China's long history, all kinds of strange things have happened. Some people have things that make people feel incredible when they see it. For example, there is a category of people who are overestimated by their superiors, and they actually believe it, so they bravely shoulder the burden. But fortunate and unfortunate, as well as the tricks of fate, their endings are different.
In my personal opinion, if you can be overrated by your superiors, you are people with certain talents. However, if you are overrated by your boss, you will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by your boss. At this time, if you are lucky, you may be an opportunity to make a contribution. If you are unlucky, coupled with your own ability to take on heavy responsibilities, you will generally end up in a disgrace. I'll give you a few random examples here.
The first is the famous horse mob. Everyone is very familiar with Ma Chen. Ma Mo is Ma Liang's younger brother and a very talented man. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that
Liang Di Chen, the character young chang, to Jingzhou engaged in following the first lord into Shu, except for Mianzhu Chengdu Ling, Yue Jun Taishou. Talented, good at military planning, And Zhuge Liang, the minister of military strategy, deeply added to the instrument. The First Lord Linxue said brightly: "The horse rumors are exaggerated, and they should not be of great use, and they should be observed!" "Liang is like this, to join the army with the rumors, to talk about it every time it is introduced, from day to night.
During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang sent him to guard the street pavilion, but he disobeyed Zhuge Liang's moderation, abandoned the water mountain, and was defeated by The Cao Wei general Zhang Guo. Once the street pavilion was defeated, Zhuge Liangjin had no basis and had to retreat back to Sichuan. However, Ma Mo ignored the military orders and absconded in fear of his crime, and after being captured, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to put him into military law.
The second is the famous military law lawyer Lu Ji. Lu Ji was the grandson of Sun Wu's chancellor Lu Xun and the son of Sima Lu Kang, and was a famous general. He liked to study the art of war, and his military works were also famous. During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, he defected to Sima Ying, joined the military of the general, and served as the history of the plains. Later, he was appointed by Sima Ying as the acting general and the governor of Hebei, leading the Northern Zhonglang general Wang Pu and the champion general Qianxiu and other armies totaling more than 200,000 people. However, as soon as Lu Ji went to war, he lost a big battle, and was held hostage by Sima Qi, the king of Changsha, and Lu Ji was defeated in Luyuan, and Lu Ji's soldiers went to Qilijian and died like a salary, and the stream did not flow, and the general Jia Ling was also killed.
Lu Ji's men also did not obey his command, openly robbed the criminal soldiers, and publicly insulted him, but Lu Ji did not dare to punish him. Soon, Lu Ji was falsely accused of plotting to die.
The third was Wang Zhaoyuan, a chancellor of Later Shu in the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This person gained the trust of Meng Chang, the lord of the Later Shu state, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Even Meng Chang's mother saw that this person could not be reused, but Meng Chang did not listen.
Wang Zhaoyuan also liked to read military books, thinking that he could be compared with Zhuge Liang. When the Song army came to pacify Hou Shu, Meng Chang sent Wang Zhaoyuan to meet the enemy. Wang Zhaoyuan was full of vigor, and when he was drinking well at the feast, he shook his arm and said: "'Yes, it is the line, not to stop defeating the enemy, when leading these twenty or thirty thousand eagle-faced evil children, take the Central Plains as a back palm ear." ''
However, as soon as he left the division, Wang Zhaoyuan was defeated, and finally "he abandoned his armor and went to Dongchuan, hiding in the warehouse, weeping with sorrow, and his eyes were swollen, but he recited Luo Yinshiyun: Transporting the hero is not free." Soon he was captured by the pursuing soldiers and ended up laughing.
These are all examples of lack of talent and bad luck. However, there are also those who are not talented enough, but can be lucky and successful.
For example, Chiang Kai-shek's Fu general Liu Zhi. This man had low military ability and was known as a pig. At the time of the Battle of Huaihai, the Kuomintang army said internally that Xuzhou was the gateway to Nanjing, and that if a tiger was not sent, a dog should be sent to guard it, and now liu Zhi was sent to guard it, and An Neng was undefeated.
But Chiang Kai-shek trusted Liu Zhi. And Liu Zhi was also very lucky, from the time of the Northern Expedition, he won many battles because of good luck. For example, at Linhuai Pass, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the various units of the Northern Expeditionary Army were ordered to retreat. However, Liu Zhi did not receive the order and still advanced forward. As a result, they were encountered at Changhuai Wei and the retreating enemy zhang Zongchang's troops. Liu Zhi actually defeated Zhang Zongchang's forces and occupied Bengbu.
Relying on Chiang Kai-shek's trust and luck, Liu Zhi actually mixed with the second-rank general in the Kuomintang army. Compared with the above results of the defeat and discredit, this is also a portrayal of the fate of the time.
