Liu Zhang's 4 major strategies, all of which are not inferior to Zhuge Liang Guo Jia, 2 Liu Bei's henchmen and 1 Cao Pi are reused
Liu Zhang's loss of Shu: A tragedy of talent mismatch
Have you ever felt like you didn't have a talent? Like having a good hand in your hand, but playing it badly? During the Three Kingdoms period, the experience of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang may resonate with you. He has a lot of talents under his command, and all the wise and resourceful people are not inferior to Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, but they finally gave up Yizhou to Liu Bei. Is this the tragedy of Liu Zhang, or the tragedy of talents? This article will delve into this historical event, analyze it from multiple perspectives such as talent mismatch, strategic mistakes, and the background of the times, and provide you with some enlightenment based on modern workplace and management experience.
1. The underrated "Four Heroes of Shu": Do they really not lose to Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia?
The four people mentioned in the original text, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Liu Ba, and Huang Quan, did show outstanding talents in some aspects. Fa Zheng made great contributions to Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou, and his strategic vision and ingenuity even made Liu Bei's trust in him more than Zhuge Liang for a time; Although Zhang Song was ugly, he was thoughtful, and teamed up with Fa Zheng to pave the way for Liu Bei to enter Shu; Liu Ba has made great achievements in governance and stabilized the economy of Yizhou; Huang Quan, with his unique survival wisdom, has been reused in both the three dynasties and the two surnames.
Comparing them with Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia may be an exaggeration. Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" laid the strategic cornerstone of Shu Han, and its political, military, and diplomatic talents developed in an all-round way; Guo Jia, with his precise strategic prediction and intriguery, repeatedly helped Cao Cao save the day. In contrast, the talents of the "Four Heroes of Shuzhong" are more biased towards a specific field, lacking the comprehensiveness and strategic height of Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia.
2. Talent mismatch: Liu Zhang's fatal injury
Liu's biggest problem is not the lack of talent, but the inability to use it effectively. He has a cowardly personality, lacks ambition, and just wants to be in a safe corner, which is incompatible with Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and other ambitious strategists. It is like a company with a top R&D team, but it only wants to keep the existing market share, does not want to forge ahead, and can only be eliminated by the times in the end.
Liu Zhang's employment strategy is also seriously flawed. He listened to the advice of Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, lured the wolf into the house, and finally reaped the consequences. It's like a leader who lacks judgment and is blinded by the rhetoric of his subordinates, making bad decisions, and ultimately leading to the failure of the team.
3. Strategic mistakes: one wrong step, one wrong step
Liu Zhang's strategic mistakes were also an important reason for his failure. He lacked a long-term vision and overall strategic planning, only cared about immediate interests, and eventually lost the entire Yizhou. He invited Liu Bei to Shu, originally to resist Zhang Lu's attack, but he did not expect Liu Bei's ambition, and was finally turned against Liu Bei. It's like a chess player who only cares about the immediate gains and losses, without an overall layout, and ends up losing the whole game.
Fourth, the background of the times: a helpless choice in troubled times
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for the deer, and the world was in chaos. Although Liu Zhang occupies the rich land of Yizhou, he lacks the strength and ambition to dominate the world. In that era of the jungle, he was eventually swallowed up by the more powerful Liu Bei, which was also an inevitable trend of history.
Fifth, from Liu Zhang's loss of Shu to see the modern workplace and management
Liu Zhang's failure also has a certain enlightenment significance for modern workplace and management:
The Importance of Talent:
Talent is the core competitiveness of enterprise development, and the success of an enterprise depends largely on whether it can attract and retain talents.
Talent Matching:
The talent of talents is important, but more important is the matching degree of talents with corporate culture and strategic goals.
The Role of a Leader:
A good leader should have a clear strategic vision, decisive decision-making and efficient execution to lead the team to success.
Importance of Strategic Planning:
The development of enterprises requires long-term vision and overall strategic planning in order to be invincible in the fierce market competition.

7. Case Study: The "Liu Zhang-style" Tragedy of Modern Enterprises
Nokia was once the hegemon of the mobile phone industry, but it went into decline because it failed to adapt to the arrival of the smartphone era in time. Kodak invented the digital camera, but stuck to the film market and was eventually obsolete. These cases show that even with strong technology and talent, if you lack strategic vision and innovative spirit, you will eventually be eliminated by the market.
8. Future trend: the fierce competition for talents
The competition for talent will be even more intense. Enterprises need to pay more attention to the cultivation and development of talents, and create a good corporate culture in order to attract and retain excellent talents. Enterprises also need to continue to innovate and adapt to market changes in order to be invincible in the fierce competition.
9. Lessons and Enlightenment of History

It reminds us that talent is important, but what is more important is how to use it effectively and develop the right strategy to succeed in a competitive environment.
