When going to school, when faced with some more difficult things to solve, teachers often expect students to raise their hands and introduce themselves. We also often hear encouraging words from teachers: "We can introduce ourselves!" ”
When I go to work, I can always hear my leadership boss say: "Sometimes you can't wait for the opportunity to fall in front of your eyes, we need to be bold and introduce ourselves!" ”
Mao Sui introduced himself, this four-word idiom frequently appears in our lives, our understanding of him is also clear and clear, most of them tell the story of poor teenagers who take the initiative to recommend themselves in order to get the opportunity, and finally get ahead!
However, reality is often more bizarre than the story!
How tragic did Mao Sui die after he successfully introduced himself? The teacher won't tell you that!
Duty
It is said that Mao Sui this person was a Zhao guo person in the Warring States period, and Zhao Sheng, the prince of pingyuan, raised a useless doorman for three years. In the eyes of many people, including Zhao Sheng, Mao Sui is a useless bastard under the banner of a doorman.
At this time, the Zhao State was experiencing a crisis in which the Qin army besieged the city and the country could not survive.
The Battle of Changping, because of the change of commanders in the front, but also has no experience, only on paper Zhao Kuo replaced the experienced veteran Lian Po, the final outcome of the war is the zhao state defeat, the god of war white pit killed the most elite 400,000 troops of the zhao state at that time.
At this time, the strength of the Zhao state was like an ant compared with an elephant, compared with the qin state of elite soldiers, and the strength was very different.
After the Battle of Changping, the Qin army adhered to the tradition of "taking advantage of your illness and asking for your life", gathered a large army, besieged Handan in the Zhao kingdom, and prepared to start the god-killing mode of annexing the Six Kingdoms.
Handan has been under siege for three years, and the people in the city are miserable. At this time, Zhao Sheng, the prince of the Zhao State, the prince of pingyuan, rightfully stood up to relieve the siege of Handan.
Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, was a royal child of the Zhao Kingdom, but Zhao Sheng did not have the habit of being a clumsy disciple, but instead assumed the responsibility of a minister of state during the Warring States period when the masses were divided.
Just as the Zhao Mansion was about to fall, Zhao Sheng prepared to select 20 people from among the doormen and go to the Chu Kingdom to persuade the King of Chu to send troops to save Zhao.
This task is related to the danger of a country, requiring not only to be able to speak eloquently, but also to have the courage to be able to persuade the king of Chu to send troops without fear of majesty in the face of the king of a country.
The Plains King chose to go, only 19 people were selected, and there was still one person left!
At this time, a Mao Sui, who had been silent and nameless for three years under the King's Gate of the Plains, appeared like a marmot and said, "Take me with you!" ”
Ping Yuanjun looked at Mao Sui, who had been under his door for three years and had not achieved anything, and felt quite strange. In the past three years, although Mao Sui was under Zhao Sheng's door, he usually only ate and did not do anything!
Mao Sui saw Zhao Sheng's doubts and reassured Ping Yuanjun, saying, "The subject is invited to be in the middle of the bag today, so that the flea can be in the bag, and Nai Ying comes out, not just the last sight!"
In modern parlance, "If I had such an opportunity earlier, I would have not only shown the tip of the cone, but had already shown my talent and sharp edge!" ”
Although PingYuan Jun had doubts in his heart, worried that Mao Sui's words were just talking, but thinking about it, anyway, bring more than one, bring one less, in case it is useful!
Finally, with his own recommendation, Mao Sui finally had the opportunity to show his talents.
After Pingyuan Jun arrived in the Chu Kingdom, the Chu State Jun was only willing to receive Ping Yuanjun, and the 20 disciples he brought were turned away and could only wait.
At this time, Mao Sui seemed to be a little restless, and he kept walking around with his sword.
The few doormen who stayed on the periphery were extremely bored, and naturally they could not help but praise each other and laugh at Mao Sui by the way. What's more, some people instigated Mao Sui, saying, "Your opportunity has arrived, you try!" ”
Mao Sui's ridicule of the crowd seemed to be unheard, and his attention was all attracted by the negotiations between Pingyuan Jun and the Chu State Jun, and although Mao Sui was outside the negotiation field, his mind was always at the negotiating table.
The negotiations between Pingyuan Jun and the King of Chu were indeed not so pleasant, they talked from morning to noon, and the King of Chu had not yet made up his mind to send troops to save Zhao.
When Mao Sui saw this scene, he felt that if he dragged it on any longer, the King of Chu would definitely not send troops to save Zhao. If the Zhao State lost this opportunity, the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao State would all die under the army of the Qin State.
Seeing the crisis of the situation, Mao Sui could not bear it any longer. He approached the front of the hall with his sword and threatened the king of Chu with his life. After calming down the field, Mao Sui quickly spoke like a lotus, analyzed the situation in the world, and revived the discord between the Qin state and the Chu state, arousing the dissatisfaction of the Chu king with the Qin state in his heart.
After that, Mao Sui hit the iron while it was hot, indicating the benefits of relieving the siege of Handan for the Chu state: not only could he avenge the first, but also help the Chu state recover the lost land, why not enjoy it!
A remark hit the king of Chu like a cannon in the heart. Mao Sui's words not only poked at the sore spot of the King of Chu, but also dispelled the doubts in the heart of the King of Chu. The King of Chu made up his mind to make an alliance with Zhao Guo's blood and send troops to save Zhao!
Since then, Mao Sui has become famous, was honored as a guest of honor by the Prince of Pingyuan, and also achieved two idioms: Mao Sui introduced himself and stood out!
Death of Mao Sui
In the second year after Handan was relieved, the Zhao state had not yet recovered from the haze of war, and the old enemy of the Zhao state, the Yan state, took advantage of the fact that the Zhao state was seriously injured and raised troops to attack!
Internal and external troubles, the Zhao State Monarch searched all over the country, and there was no one to use.
The generals who can fight in the Zhao Kingdom are either guarding the frontier and cannot go out on expeditions, or they are too old to be at home, in a word, it is a talent gap, and the Zhao Kingdom has no one to use!
Ping Yuanjun, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, thought of Mao Sui, and in his eyes, Mao Sui could reach a million male masters. The Yan kingdom attacked and sent Mao Sui out on the expedition, maybe it could be like the last time, there was a miracle!
When Mao Sui heard this news, it was like being struck by lightning.
Mao Sui knew very well that he was only a civilian official, and he could retreat from the army with three inches of tongue, but when it came to commanding a thousand troops, it could only be an embarrassing task.
Mao Suiwan refused King Zhao's proposal, but where did the distraught Zhao lord hear this. The monarch ordered mao sui to go out on the expedition!
After Mao Sui led the troops, he knew very well the weight of war on the country and the weight of the people, and did not dare to be careless at all.
Despite Mao Sui's exhaustion, how can miracles happen again and again? How could a man who works by lip service master the art of war overnight, transform into a god of war, and destroy the enemy army?
In the face of the Yan army that was ready to attack, Mao Sui really had no ability to fight back, and was beaten by the Yan army, and could only lead the remnants of the army to defeat the generals and flee in a hurry.
Consciously and wordlessly facing the Mao Sui of the countrymen, he drew his sword and committed suicide in the woods!
A generation of celebrities, fell to the end of a suicide to apologize!
epilogue:
Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; taking people as a mirror can make clear gains and losses!
From the glory of "Mao Sui self-recommendation" to the sigh of "Mao Sui self-sacrifice", but in just one year, he had to sigh, and his life was also thought-provoking!
The success of Mao Sui's self-recommendation is because Mao Sui has played an indelible role in the field he is proficient in, relying on his own advantages, and finally became famous in the world!
The tragedy of self-inflicted wounds is an irreparable tragedy caused by misplaced talents in an inappropriate position.
Mao Sui has the diplomatic talent of the tongue and the masses, and in the field of diplomacy, it is definitely a presence that can withstand all armies. No one is perfect, and it is undeniable that Mao Sui has no ability to command a thousand armies.
Ordering Mao Sui to lead the army to go out is tantamount to asking for fish in the wood and fishing for the moon in the water. And Mao Sui, who accepted this order, had to end up with a defeated soldier and committed suicide, drinking and hating.
As the saying goes: People are self-aware. A person's clearest cognition is to know their strengths and forge their own strong field to achieve their own achievements. At the same time, understand your shortcomings and try your best to avoid the inappropriate consequences of your shortcomings.
Only by learning to use our strengths and avoid our weaknesses can we avoid the tragedy of Mao!
