Without accumulating steps, it is impossible to go thousands of miles, and it is impossible to become a river and a sea without accumulating small streams.
Mentioning the name Xu Sheng, many people who read the Three Kingdoms know that this person is a general of Eastern Wu, and this general is not impressed by anything special. However, when I carefully examined his information, I found that his first appearance on the historical stage began with Sun Quan's succession to the throne and the crusade against Jiangxia Huangzu, and he probably died of illness during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, which can be said to have experienced the entire Three Kingdoms era. And his personal experience, after careful analysis, I found that it is a typical ordinary person's growth history in the chaotic world, accumulating experience, from an ordinary general to a unique general!
Xu Sheng in the game
Walking a lifetime, although slow, but ultimately moving forward.
Xu Sheng's growth path is not as typical as Lü Meng's, with Sun Quan persuading him to learn and Lu Su praising him as "no longer Wuxia Amon". But Xu Sheng's growth, in my opinion, is a little accumulation of his own. In the rendition, during the Battle of Chibi, he and Ding Feng pursued Zhuge Liang together, but were repelled by an arrow from Zhao Yun. Historically, he attacked Hefei with Sun Quan, and when Zhang Liaowei was shocked, he was wounded, lost his weapon, fled with his sergeants, or was killed by Pan Zhang.1 Of his defeated soldiers.
Xu Sheng also often lost battles when he was young
But in the same way, Xu Sheng also participated in the major battles of Eastern Wu, he participated in the Battle of Chibi, he participated in the Battle of Yiling, and he pursued cao Cao with his army, and also pursued and killed Liu Bei. In addition, during the Battle of Wusukou, The ships of Eastern Wu were blown to the north shore by the strong wind, and the Generals of Eastern Wu did not dare to attack, only he was bold, led the army to raid, as a death squad, disrupted the arrangement of the Cao Army, and the time for the preparation of the large army to win was safely returned. He was called "DaZhuang" by Sun Quan.
Xu Sheng in the old Version of the Three Kingdoms
In the early days, Xu Sheng did not seem to have any particularly outstanding and eye-catching performance. However, Xu Sheng's selection into the list of "Tiger Ministers of Jiangbiao" does have his own outstanding points and special achievements. After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he organized several troops to march south, and several of them, even Cao Pi's personal conquest, wanted to complete Cao Cao's regrets.
Xu Sheng in the New Three Kingdoms
In this regard, Xu Sheng built fences and fences in Jianye, and also set up scarecrows and pontoon boats on the river. At that time, the Generals of Eastern Wu all felt that this was useless, but Xu Sheng insisted on doing so, and was approved by Sun Quan, and along the Yangtze River, a hundred-mile-long pseudo-Great Wall was built overnight. When Cao Pi saw such a defensive line, he actually had the intention of retreating and directly retreated.
Grass and trees are generally referred to as the Battle of Shuishui
When I read this paragraph at that time, I was thinking, isn't this the earliest version of "grass and trees are soldiers"? I don't know if the Former Qin troops, who were defeated by the Beifu soldiers of Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period in the later generation, would remember Xu Sheng's suspicious position in history after being frightened by the grass and trees. But it is undeniable that in the late Three Kingdoms period, at least Cao Cao Liu Beidu died, and when Cao Pi Liu Chan staged, Xu Sheng was already a major general in the Eastern Wu generals.
Xu Sheng in "Three Kingdoms Matchless"
Accumulation is the power that can change everything.
Xu Sheng didn't seem to have any special talent, nor did he have any special records of his talent and wisdom, not even a detailed birth year, he was just an ordinary member of all the sentient beings in that era. But from an ordinary person to a warrior, his life experience is not down-to-earth, step by step? Although the final achievement is not to dominate the overall situation, the general will enter the picture, but to become a general on the one hand, in my opinion, it is already very good.
Stick to it, and you'll reap the rewards
Anything, as long as you insist on doing it, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, no matter what kind of result, as long as you keep doing it, from lack of experience, from not doing it well enough, but accumulating over time, trying again and again, as long as you grit your teeth and survive, you will eventually achieve something. Xu Sheng's life trajectory may not be obvious. But seeing Xu Sheng's growth, I did think of the Yuan Dynasty general Wang Baobao, who was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wang Baobao, who was defeated and defeated again, survived several times, holding a log across the Yellow River to escape, but in the end it was this person who was defeated and defeated again, who helped the Yuan Dynasty to hold the grassland, defeated Xu Da, And Li Wenzhong's expeditionary army, so that the Yuan Dynasty could be in a safe corner. Didn't his ultimate victory actually come from his previous defeats?
Accumulated power
The cause identified in the heart, try to do, as long as you do it, there is strength, there will be some progress, after accumulating to a certain extent, your own ability will naturally improve, after the quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and then look back at the original self, you will find that you have stood in such a high position.
