Wang Mao, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty and a hero of Eastern Wu, ended better than the famous Cao Wei general Deng Ai who destroyed shu Han, and died well, at the age of eighty. After destroying Eastern Wu, he was in the same bad situation as Deng Ai, and almost died of rumors. How did Wang Mao turn the danger into a disaster? Thanks to listening to the words of the high people.
Deng Ai and Zhong Hui led their armies to attack Shu Han respectively, and finally he took the lead in entering Chengdu, causing shu Han to perish. Later, he was slandered and framed by Zhong Hui, and was taken into custody by Sima Zhao, and finally killed by the military general Tian Xu sent by Wei Ou along with his son Deng Zhong. Although he was later rehabilitated, after all, he was clicked alive in the midst of injustice.
Wang Mao led his army down the Yangtze River, melted down the Chain of Hengjiang, conquered Danyang County, took the lead in capturing Shicheng, accepted the surrender of Sun Hao, the late Wu emperor, and destroyed Eastern Wu for the Western Jin Dynasty. The division of the three countries came to an end. Wang's exploits could not be buried, but then he was falsely accused, like Deng Ai. Wang Mao was deeply afraid, and because of Deng Ai's lesson, a cold sweat was directly behind his head. Deng Ai, who wanted to destroy the Shu Han dynasty, was framed and died after winning the victory.
The more Wang Mao thought about it, the more frightened he became, afraid of repeating Deng Ai's mistakes, so he repeatedly wrote to defend himself. Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, did not punish him for his sins, but instead tried to defy the public opinion and reward him for his merits and deeds. How could Wang Mao, who was in isolation and helplessness, have one of his mouths been beaten up by a group of people with ulterior motives! Wang Mao was always in a panic, so when he saw the emperor, he had to confess, the essence was that the effect was getting worse and worse, and at the same time, there was a feeling of getting darker and darker.
However, Wang Mao did not die, but he met a high person. One of his relatives, Fan Tong, pointed out the root cause of the problem for him, saying: "The merit of the foot is too great, but it is a pity that the foot is proud of the merit and failed to achieve perfection!" Wang Mao asked, "What does this mean?" Fan Tong said: "When the day of victory and triumph in the foot, we should retire to the house and never mention the matter of Wu again." If someone asks you, you should say, 'This is the emperor's holy ming, the efforts of the generals, and I have nothing to praise!' In this way, the generals will be comfortable in their hearts! ”
Wang Hao quickly asked what to do now! Fan Tong asked Wang Hao to hurry up and do what he said. Wang Mao followed the plan, and when he saw the people, he said: "Emperor Shengming, the general will work hard, I have no merit to speak of!" "Endorsement" is like a wide advertisement, and the rumors are really self-evident.
Deng Ai would not "endorse" when he was beaten by the group, and was clicked; Wang Mao survived and would "endorse" when he was beaten by the group. This is still useful and vivid, and it is worth pondering. (Text/Cai Si)
