We all know that the strategists in history have all had the military talent of Wen Tao and martial strategy, and there are countless strategists with such talents. Among them, Zhuge Liang is the most well-known, but there is another counselor whose talent is even better than Zhuge Liang's, and Zhuge Liang himself has admitted, so who is this counselor?
That is Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong is the famous minister of state of the State of Qi, and the reason why Guan Zhong can become the minister of state of Qi has two reasons, one is because of Bao Shuya's recommendation, and the other is because of Guan Zhong's own talent, so let's take a look at what talents Guan Zhong has, and what his talent has brought to the Country of Qi!
During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, several major changes in the State of Qi were inseparable from Guan Zhong, such as helping Qi to dominate, Qi Chu to form an alliance, and buying deer with heavy gold were all the handiwork of Guan Zhong, and it was precisely because of Guan Zhong's advice that Qi Huan Duke became a hegemon. One of the most noteworthy is the story of Guan Zhong's "heavy gold to buy deer", because Guan Zhong's heavy gold to buy deer made Qi Huangong easily attack the Chu state without spending a single soldier, and Guan Zhong's strategy of buying deer was also used by the United States to disintegrate chile's economic system. Let's take a look at what kind of story Guan Zhong's heavy money buying deer is.
Although there is a covenant of alliance between Qichu and Chu, there is never an eternal enemy or an eternal friend between countries. For the Duke of Qi Huan, the State of Chu has always been a big problem, so there is a heavy gold to buy deer from Guan Zhong, which seems to have no connection, but it has a big effect. Guan Zhong took twenty million dollars to ask the King of Chu to buy a large number of deer at a price of eighty thousand dollars for a deer, so the people of the Chu State rushed to catch deer, for the common people, this is a safe and profitable business, a year passed, Guan Zhong returned with the deer, and told the Duke of Qi Huan that he could attack the Chu State, so why is this?
The State of Chu spent a lot of time and manpower and material resources to catch deer, so that the people were abandoned in the cultivation of grain, and the State of Chu was also caught in a situation of food shortage, grain was an important support for the marching army to fight, without the support of grain it was equivalent to fish without water, so the State of Chu effortlessly defeated the State of Chu.
The United States also used the strategy of "buying deer with heavy gold" to disintegrate Chile's economy, the United States on the one hand with high prices to buy Chile's copper mines, to Chile caused an illusion that the economy is rapidly soaring, when the dollar has been in the Chilean market, the United States quickly shorted Chile's copper mines, so that Chile's economy in a temporary between various contradictions have broken out, and the so-called economic surge is just a dream of yellow sorghum, Chile's economic politics will also collapse.
Buying deer with heavy gold is a strategy of attacking the west with sound, and it is also a strategy of surrendering soldiers without fighting, and the wisdom of the ancients is really admirable! What do you think?
