In the first year of Hu Hai of Qin II, that is, in 209 BC, Liu Bang was arranged to escort a group of prisoners to Lishan to repair the tomb for the county.
This was an extremely risky chore, not to mention the boats and cars along the way, the wind and food and other unpredictable factors, just because of the damn temperament of the Qin Dynasty - if anyone did not complete the work with quality and quantity, followed by the punishment of life or death, not many people were willing to do this work.
However, such a chore has opened up another brand-new world for Liu Bang, so many times, in our lives and work, when we have no better choice, we maintain a peaceful mentality of "but do good deeds, do not ask about the future", which is mostly good.
Not long after Liu Bang led a group of "labor reform prisoners" to set out in the direction of Lishan Mountain, this group of "turmoilists" slipped away and fled, running away from a large group, after all, no one can ask this group of Shengdou small people to have the lofty consciousness of "I don't go to hell and who goes to hell."
In this way, Comrade Liu Bang began to wonder, what is this all about? Along the way, if I continue to play like a cat and a rat, it is estimated that I will be the only one who will go to Lishan in the end, but even if I reach Lishan, I will be executed for dereliction of duty.
Since none of them want to go to Lishan, and I don't want to go to Lishan, then let's just stop going to Lishan. Look, Comrade Liu Bang is a good comrade who can understand the voice of the "masses of the people."
Therefore, in the dry ze area west of Feng County, Liu Bang signaled the team to stop, first drank a big meal, then cleared his throat, and delivered a few simple speeches: "Like everyone else, I am a bitter person. Since you don't want to go to Lishan, then let's all go, I am not the chief of this pavilion, and I have also fled for my life. ”
Liu Bang's move, those who aspire to be leaders must learn. What's so special about that?
The first detail is that Liu Bang drank, drinking is to help himself overcome his heart and contradictions, is to help himself increase the courage and courage to make decisions, in the end do you want to let these people go? When a person makes a major choice, he is generally more entangled, and this is the truth of wine and courage. It shows that Liu Bang is good at finding steps for himself, in case this choice is not appropriate, he can use "drunken impulse" to comfort himself.
The second question is the content and logic of Liu Bang's speech, is Liu Bang really releasing prisoners because of righteousness? No, first, because he couldn't continue his work, and second, he needed to test whether anyone was willing to start a new stove with him. At this time, we must learn to be a smooth water person. Just imagine, if Liu Bang said that everyone went to Lishan to die anyway, it would be better to rebel with me, what would be the effect? There is a high probability that someone will do it with him, but how much sincerity there is is unknown. Whoever desires it must be given first, and it is quite clever to hand over the right of choice to others.
Liu Bang's "act of benevolence and righteousness" really touched a group of people, how many people? A dozen! The rest of the people scattered. The people who stayed behind felt that they could not know the gratitude and not repay it, Liu Tingchang could not take care of work and life for us, we just walked away, is that still a person? Besides, where is not mixed life, mixed with good people like Liu Tingchang, is not fragrant?
Liu Bang was ready to take these dozen people to the grass for Kou. On the big night, for the sake of safety, a man was sent to the front to explore the way.
After a while, the pathfinder came back and said that there was a big snake in front of him blocking the way, and suggested that Liu Bang go back.
Liu Bang's drunken strength has not yet woken up, plus he has just made a major choice in life, and the boiling strength of his blood has not calmed down, so he blurted out: "The big husband is alone in the world!" What is a snake to be afraid of! ”
After saying that, he rushed forward, found the big snake, drew his sword, cut the big snake into two pieces, and then led the team to continue on the way. This is the story of "Gao Zu beheading the white snake", this story still has some mythological colors, the son does not say anything about the strange god, not to say.
Including Liu Bang later hiding in the vast Mangzhong Mountain, no matter how remote, his daughter-in-law Lü Yan could accurately find him every time, saying that it was because Liu Bang had clouds condensed on his head and was full of colors.
This kind of thing is mostly a kind of packaging and publicity, we just need to understand the importance of packaging and publicity to get things done, we don't have to be too real.
Later, liu Bang was also because of the various anecdotes and myths on his body, more and more desperate and unsatisfactory people came to him, and the team slowly developed to thousands of people.
In September, the county commander of Pei County also felt that there was no future for being a civil servant of the Qin Dynasty and was ready to start his own business. But suffering from my inexperience and team, I don't know how to work.
At this time, Liu Bang's good friends Xiao He and Cao Shan, who had been friends when they were mixed with society, stood up and said to the county order: "Boss, you have decided to do things right, do things well, do things well, and everyone laughs happily when they do things." Aren't we all gone? Liu Laosan this guy has gathered a group of forces in Mount Mangzhong, we can play the doctrine of taking, take it and use it! In the past, he was a wanted criminal, and it was not convenient for us to cooperate, but now everyone is a revolutionary compatriot, and we must absorb and grow! ”
Peixian County Ling was still a little too idealistic, and he didn't know that he could not suppress Liu Bang's land snake with his own ability, but he only felt that Xiao He was right, so he sent Fan Huan to summon Liu Bang to come back to join the revolution.
Liu Bang listened, overjoyed, and finally did not hide in the deep mountains and old forests, often played the game of "guanyun to find people" with his daughter-in-law, so without saying a word, he took the team to Pei County, we can't live up to the leader's kindness, right?
As a result, when Liu Bang rushed to pei county with his men and horses, he found that the city gate was closed and said that nothing would be opened. It turned out that after Fan Huan left, the county order reacted, Xiao He and Cao San, who were helping themselves find helpers, were luring wolves into the room. So he ordered the city gates to be closed and Xiao He and Cao Shan to be arrested.
Xiao He and Cao Zan had been playing in Pei County for decades, with many eyes and ears, and after hearing the sound of the wind, they turned out of the city wall overnight and defected to Liu Bang.
Later, Liu Bang, Xiao He, Cao Shan, Fan Duo, and others used their local advantages to instigate the people in the city to make trouble and kill the county order, Liu Bang was proclaimed the Duke of Pei, and the sons of three thousand Pei County responded to Liu Bang and joined Liu Bang's great cause of resistance to Qin.
Here, I would like to say more to those who have already become leaders, why the county orders of the Qin Dynasty are so good to kill. This is mainly related to the institutional setup of the Qin Dynasty, although the county order is a local official on the ruling side, but he is already the most grass-roots official, the following are all "officials" who do things, these officials are mostly local people, are some land snakes, that is to say, the county orders of the Qin Dynasty are easily emptied. A leader who has no control, it is as simple as saying that it is falling, it is as simple as that.
At this point, Liu Bang, who had been mixed all his life, saw no hope in the posts of grass-roots civil servants in the Qin Dynasty, and after resolutely and resolutely decided to "go to the sea", he officially transformed into the first batch of students of the "Anti-Qin Business School" and became one of the representatives of the anti-Qin industry.
Liu Bang, who started his own business and gradually gained a firm foothold and opened up the situation, had the motivation to do so. In October, he took advantage of the heat to lay siege to his hometown of Fengyi, and in November, he continued to lay siege to Xue County.
The company's development momentum is very good, Liu Bang's heart is very cool. However, he was still too happy too soon, because not all people would really be dead to him because of a few legends and stories, and the most capable Yongya under his command felt that he could not achieve great things like a countryman, and to do big things or enter the regular platform, so he led fengyi, which had just been fought, to surrender to the wei state that had been restored at that time.
This made Liu Bang angry, and he managed to lay down three stores, one of which was sold by the manager below. When will I, when will I suffer such a loss? He must be killed, otherwise, he will not be able to speak well in the future.
Therefore, Liu Bang personally led his comrades to fight back against Fengyi to beat Yongya, but unfortunately, he did not fight it. Why can't I beat it? Because Liu Bang's team is still a grassroots team, to put it bluntly, it is in vain, where can it withstand the test of what is the eight classics of Zheng'er?
Nafeng County was Liu Bang's hometown, so why didn't those people turn against The YongYa to help Liu Bang? The more people who know the roots, the more they pursue rationality and objectivity when evaluating you, and Liu Bang's performance in the previous decades, in addition to a bunch of legends, other aspects are still in the hearts of his hometown fathers and elders.
Liu Bang could not win the fight, and the people in his hometown were still unwilling to take the initiative to help him, and their hearts were very uncomfortable and they were extremely annoyed. However, Liu Bang was annoyed and annoyed, but he did not lose his mind, and he knew that his main contradiction at the moment was that he had to defeat Yongya to maintain his prestige.
How to get it? Thighs! People who do big things must not be stubborn in small things, they must understand the way of literature and martial arts, be relaxed and moderate, learn to take advantage of the situation, withdraw their fists in order to fight more powerfully, and bow to others in order to have better room for development.
Who are you looking for? At that time, the leader of the rebel army, Chen Sheng, had already been killed, and Qin Jia had newly established Jingju as the king of Chu, so let's go find Jingju!
If Liu Bang knew that Jingju would soon be killed by Xiang Liang, he would definitely not go to Jingju, but it was precisely this action of defecting to Jingju that made Liu Bang successful, because on this journey, Liu Bang was lucky to meet and recognize his life mentor Zhang Liang.
Without Zhang Liang, Liu Bang's life was at best stopped by Xiang Yu as a Han king, and it was even possible to receive a box lunch in advance, because almost all of Liu Bang's later strategic planning and correction were due to Zhang Liang.
Therefore, sometimes, all unknown things are actually opportunities, there is no need to be afraid, the key lies in whether you have the ability to seize the opportunity.
Zhang Liang also went to Jingju at that time, and after the two met on the way, they talked cordially as comrades. This talk has revealed the mystery of eternity - why did Zhang Liang help Liu Bang and not others? It also talks about the focus of this article - how do potential bosses and invisible people identify each other?
The conversation process between Liu Bang and Zhang Liang is actually very simple, that is, Zhang Liang constantly discusses his research theory with Liu Bang, and what makes people feel amazing is that Liu Bang, who has a very low education, can not only understand it, but even add one, two or three appropriately. So much so that Zhang Conscience shouted: Liu Bang is really a wizard in the world!
This simple communication process should actually be used as a textbook for everyone to repeatedly speculate and experience, the road to simplicity, the knowledge behind this simple conversation is too deep.
First of all, let's introduce Zhang Liang, who is a standard aristocratic family, his grandfather Zhang Kaidi, who was re-elected as the prime minister of the three dynasties of Korea, and his father Zhang Ping, who succeeded him as the prime minister of the second dynasty of Korea. What a concept, the premier of the State Council of the last five dynasties of South Korea is open for their old Zhang family. Although Korea had already perished in the era of Zhang Liang, the family genes of others had already been successfully transplanted into Zhang Liang's bloodline.
Love comes from giving. The old Zhang family has exhausted his efforts in Korea for generations, and Zhang Liang is indeed true love for Korea. On the contrary, hatred stems from loss, the Qin Dynasty let Zhang Liang lose everything, and Zhang Liang also really hated the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Liang is different from other people who have fallen into the country, not a few times of pain, and then it is time to continue to live, Zhang Liang wants to fight with the Qin Dynasty to the end from his bones, this is the career and faith he graduated from, and it is also a heart disease.
Zhang Liang did not hesitate to scatter his family wealth, invited a Hercules to ambush qin shi huang on the side of the road, and threw a 120-pound hammer at Qin Shi Huang's Luan You, trying to smash Qin Shi Huang to death, but unfortunately Qin Shi Huang did not sit in that car at that time.
After failing to hit a blow, Zhang Liang hid his name and went into exile in the world, and later met a god-like old man Huang Shigong, who was repeatedly tested by Huang Shigong and gave him a secret book, which is said to be Huang Shigong's book "Sushu", some people say that it is "Taigong Art of War", and some people say that it is a book of heaven.
When Huang Shigong donated the book, he also said: "Reading this book can be a king's teacher, 10 years after the world is in chaos, you can use this book to build a country, and come back to see me after the achievement!" "Say it, and go away."
After Zhang Liang got this book, he achieved great feats and became a once-in-a-millennium strategic master.
Of course, we still have to keep in mind that Zhang Liang's adventure is not a necessary option in life, it is just a complementary tool to add icing on the cake. The cultivation of life, the foundation, the foundation, the understanding and the diligence are much more important than this kind of unattainable opportunity, and the family heritage of the five dynasties of the Zhang family is much more important than this heavenly book.
A person who has been cultivated in a high-level environment since childhood, who is exposed to high-level talents, who talks about high-level topics, and who plays high-standard games, is an innate advantage that cannot be envied or replaced.
So, why would such an excellent Zhang Liang look up to Liu Bang, who "does not learn and has no skills"? On what basis did Liu Bang identify Zhang Liang, who was a lotus flower with a tongue? How can the boss of a small grass-making company at the bottom and a good talent with more than strategic thinking feel sorry for each other?
In order to explain the logic behind this, first put a modern role on Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, Liu Bang is the boss of the grass creation, and Zhang Liang is the master of strategy. Because when we study a character, we must combine their role positioning, and the logic of different roles and identities is different.
What is the most important function for a boss like Liu Bang? Formulate strategic objectives, build strategic teams, and grasp strategic results.
What is the most important function for a master planner like Zhang Liang? Sort out strategic ideas, formulate strategic approaches, and find strategic directions.
The core appeal of the two is also different, the core appeal of Liu Bang (the boss) is to do his own thing; the core appeal of Zhang Liang (planning) is to complete his wishes by helping the boss to do things.
Liu Bang was basically in the early stage of entrepreneurship at that time, basically you can say that there is nothing, talent, team, strength, channels are all short boards, this time is the most considered of a boss's pattern and temperament, eyesight and decision-making time, you have to seize all opportunities to make up for your shortcomings.
Zhang Liang, because of the failure of his own entrepreneurship, took a back seat, chose to play his own strengths, chose to join the right platform to achieve his career, he is to find a boss who can coexist with himself. This boss is not necessarily the strongest, nor is it necessarily the most talented, but his pattern must be enough, so that he can achieve a hundred rivers and rivers, in order to become bigger; then the boss's recognition ability must be strong enough, only the people who identify themselves will pay attention to and trust themselves, and their talents will have room to play; finally, the boss's interest orientation must be consistent with himself, otherwise he will eventually part ways.
It was under this circumstance that Liu Bang and Zhang Liang discussed each other's hearts. It is precisely because of the seamless docking of the two people that they have achieved a good story and a great cause.
We have enough reasons to believe that if we only talk about the professional issues of strategy and tactics, even if Liu Bang studies for another 50 years, it is estimated that he will not be able to reach Zhang Liang's realm, and he has a specialty in the art industry, but why can he get Zhang Liang's approval? We also have enough reason to believe that Zhang Liang must have seriously considered Xiang Yu and other bosses before talking to Liu Bang, including after that, but why did he choose Liu Bang in the end?
This involves a very social question, that is, how to identify each other between bosses and talents?
As a boss, you must learn from Liu Bang, know what you lack, what you need, especially in terms of talents, which is the right medicine in medicine. Because you don't know your own situation, you will be led by the nose by the "traditional concept", and the "four princes of the Warring States" have thousands of customers, and how many of them have played a role? In a word, the awareness of casting a wide net will infinitely increase the cost of your strategy.
At the same time, as a boss, you must not take what you are short of to consider what others are good at, you do not understand the profession, you can talk about logic; you do not understand logic, you can talk about management; you do not understand management, you can talk about strategy; you do not understand strategy, you can talk about ideals. If you are even vague about your ideals, you have to show an arrogant attitude and talk about attitude.
Then, in the face of high-level communication, be sure to maintain a certain degree of interaction. If Zhang Liang said something, Liu Bang showed a look of confusion, then it is over, it is estimated that Zhang Liang is just treating Liu Bang as an acquaintance who is not a tool; if Zhang Liang talks about something, Liu Bang is eager to show that he understands very well, and it is finished, because he is indeed not as good as Zhang Liang, the more he talks, the more exposed. Liu Bang behaved commendably, and he responded to Zhang Liang just right, one is to show that he is listening seriously and has a very good attitude; the second is to show that he is thinking and has a good understanding; the third is to express that he is thinking and has a very assertive opinion.
In this way, as a boss, his image and status cannot be broken, and the rest is left to others. This is called "first standing in an invincible position" in the art of war.
So, what if we play the role of Zhang Liang in real life? Learn from Zhang Liang!
In every era and society, in fact, there is never a shortage of people like Zhang Liang who have not met (Before Zhang Liang), a person who wants to be the "strongest assistant" (professional managers, military divisions, staff officers, etc.), must not lose themselves in impatience, do not compromise at will, because you are finished as soon as you compromise, and with the first compromise there will be a second compromise. Slowly more people will come and force you to compromise.
But to be like Zhang Liang, I just want to find a platform and boss who is like-minded with me, and I haven't found it for the time being, so I keep looking for it until I find it, which is the starting point effect. If you don't see yourself as a person in the first place, there is a high probability that no one will see you as a person in the end.
So, how do you find the right boss and platform? You must also learn from Zhang Liang and insist on explaining what you are good at! Because you can't all be good at and proficient in the problems thrown by different bosses, you might as well respond to changes with no change, and test the reaction of your bosses with your own strengths.
Therefore, many friends who really have real talent and practical learning, when they encounter a leader who cannot appreciate your ability and talent, do not fall into chagrin and anxiety, change direction, change another way, and believe that as long as you are a Maxima, you will definitely meet the right Bole.
Of course, you yourself must also have the ability to recognize Bole, Bete Bole appreciates you, you still think That Bole wants to prostitute you, then you try for a lifetime, it is also a white test.
After Liu Bang and Zhang Liang recognized each other, the effect was immediate. Under the guidance of Zhang Liang, he took The County in February of the following year and reorganized 6,000 troops in the county, the number of troops climbed to nearly 10,000 people.
And in March, he conquered Xia Yi again.
This made Liu Bang full of confidence to return to Feng County to teach Yongya a lesson, and there was a feeling of "not the past", but unfortunately, it was not strange that Yongya looked down on Liu Bang, and Liu Bang failed again, thus forcing Liu Bang to seek a way out in another direction.
To know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown. But this time, I hope that everyone will always remember that the identification between people is very important to the conditions and ideas of reciprocity, and it is not wishful thinking, nor is it self-righteous.
