Jia Xu, known as the "first poisoner of the Three Kingdoms", has endless strategies and strategies, and changes are unpredictable.
This wise man, whose life was bumpy and eventually belonged to Cao Wei's camp, began in a chaotic world and finally achieved good results.
Finally become the big winner of life, fascinated by countless sentient beings, I and other laymen of the younger generation, what can I learn from his turbulent life?
01
Life in the world often requires choices.
As the saying goes: men are afraid of entering the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
It is often a case of losing everything carelessly.
How to choose your own development direction and future is very important to you and me in the workplace.
Look at how Mr. Jia Xu chose at one of the most important moments in his life.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao chased after the Central Plains. Yuan Benchu company has strong strength and many talents;
Cao Aqi Company is small in size, but the management is strict, and it is prohibited.
Both sides send emissaries to acquire small-scale enterprises around them, and this is your last chance to enter the national decision-making level!
Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were stationed in Wancheng to watch success or failure.
Emissaries from both Yuan and Cao came.
Everyone on the earth knows that Zhang Xiu once secretly attacked Cao Cao in Wancheng, causing Cao Cao to flash his waist, fold his eldest son Cao Hao, the general Dianwei, and form a deep vendetta with Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao's emissaries were confidently discussing the acquisition with Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu walked in and said directly to him, "Don't talk about the conditions, we won't go to you." Please go back and tell Yuan Benchu that the brothers are not compatible with each other, how can they tolerate the world's talents? ”
The Messenger retreated in shock.
Yuan Shao and his younger brother Yuan Shu attacked each other, and the ugly words had already spread all over the world.
Zhang Xiu had never listened to Jia Xu's words, and he was also anxious for half a day: "Sir, this Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, we still have a vendetta with the Cao family, how can we drive the people of the Yuan family away?" ”
Jia Xu said: Yes, it is precisely because Yuan Qiang and Cao are weak that we chose the Cao family.
He analyzes:
First, Yuan Shaocai is very powerful, and he may not be able to look at this little manpower and material resources in his hands. On the other hand, Cao Cao is lacking manpower, we join, this and the other, Cao Cao such a smart person welcome is too late, must be special to us preferential treatment.
Second, Cao Cao's popularity is very large, in order to show the people of the world his tolerant mind, absolutely do not pursue the past. In this way, it seems that the kingly arrogance of the world is the most important. We have a vendetta against them, so we go to him and give him a chance to say, "Zhou Gong spits and feeds, and the world returns to his heart." At least he had to show it to everyone.
Third, this point is the most critical, my old Jia observation for so many years, Yuan Shao is currently strong, in the end will be defeated by Cao Cao's hands.
Therefore, Jia Xu judged: the future lies in Gui Cao!
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth, for so many years I have listened to Teacher Jia, this time listen to the end.
Everything was as Mr. Jia expected, and Cao Cao was overjoyed and warmly welcomed Zhang Xiujia into the company.
Holding Jia Xu's hand, he said, "Mr. Jia! You have made me regain the reputation of faith and righteousness, and spread it to all over the world! ”
The high-ranking official Houlu treated Zhang Xiu kindly.
Jia Xu also became an important strategist under Cao Cao.com.
02
The importance of a person in a company is absolutely proportional to the level of his business.
Doctors must be able to see doctors, and lawyers must be good at fighting lawsuits, which is the cost of a person's meal and the foundation of his life.
Jia Xu understood this very well, and as a military staff officer in Cao's camp, Jia Xu sacrificed his skills and conquered many military difficulties for Cao Cao.
Become a heavyweight presence in the company.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao engaged the Guanzhong warlords Han Sui and Ma Chao in Weinan, and Jia Xu was Cao Cao's chief of staff.
The two armies fought for several months, and Ma Chao gradually gained the upper hand and proposed to make peace with the conditions of cutting the territory and sending hostages.
Cao Cao followed Jia Xu's advice and pretended to agree.
And then what?
Old Jia said, "One word, away." ”
Cao Cao's heart understood.
Cao Cao and Han Sui were classmates in the capital when they were young, so let's talk about it!
Before the two armies, two old classmates rode alone to meet each other.
Cao Cao talked about the front is very key, old Han, do you remember the taste of the skewers in front of the Di'an Gate?
Of course remember! You suddenly poured a large bowl of wine, and vomited all over the ground and almost beat people!
The two laughed.
Classmate love, really unforgettable!
After chatting for most of the day, Cao Cao returned to the horse: Goodbye! Let's talk again!
When Han Sui returned to the camp, Ma Chao waited and asked, "Uncle Han, why are you talking so energetically?" ”
Han Sui: "Let's talk about our old business in the capital." ”
Didn't talk about anything else?
Old Han Gambling Curse: Really didn't talk about anything!
Ma Chao sadly left.
Cao Cao sent a letter to Han Sui, and Ma Chao came to ask for it.
A piece of letter paper is scribbled and changed, one piece is smeared in the east and one stroke is drawn in the west.
Ma Chao was full of doubts: "This was written by Cao Cao?" How could such a shrewd person as Cao Cao write such a letter? ”
Han Sui was also impatient, could it be that I couldn't change it?
The two sides did not tear their faces, but the seeds of distrust were deeply sown.
In this divisive play, Cao Cao is an actor and the director is Jia Xu.
Lao Jia's understated strokes made a big mess of the psychology of the Guanzhong coalition forces, and everyone suspected each other of betraying themselves, where did they still have the heart to deal with Cao Cao?
Cao Cao took the opportunity to launch an onslaught, and the ghostly coalition forces went their separate ways, scattered in the sand, and were defeated by Cao's army.
Cao Cao conquered the Guanzhong region in one fell swoop, and the entire north was completely incorporated into Cao Wei's territory.
Jia Yi's superb plan made him one of Cao Jun's think tanks.

Modern people like to talk about being low-key and not ostentatious.
A thousand years ago, Jia Xu used practice to tell everyone how to stay away from the dangerous whirlpool.
The most critical point is that the personnel rights of Cao's company should not be asked, let alone participate in the competition.
Jia Xu joined the Cao Army later, and his seniority was much shallower than that of Xun Yu, Xun You, Xiahou Huan, and other central figures of Cao Wei.
Jia Xu also fought with Cao Jun that year, and perhaps some people still have nostalgia for the old evil!
Jia Xu was very self-aware and never went to make friends with them.
Marrying daughters and daughters-in-law, deliberately avoiding the door of the powerful and only making relatives with ordinary people.
Jia Xu is usually very low-key, returning home after work, closing the door and not going out.
Other colleagues may go to drink some wine and sing a song together, and Lao Jia will not participate at all.
Socializing and singing, pushing away what can be pushed off, it is inevitable, attending the banquet, basically do not speak.
Wise people like Lao Jia are very reverent: more words will be lost.
In the words of our common people: More words are disasters.
The biggest thing in Cao Cao's later years was to choose an heir.
In the feudal dynasty under the family world, the selection of the heir is the first major event of the country.
Cao Cao's two favorite sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhiming, fought and fought for who would end up in the end.
Many of Cao Wei's courtiers were involved in this brotherly struggle.
The biggest personnel change in the company is just around the corner, and many people are eager to join the competition.
Rush to take sides, rush to allegiance.
Cao Cao himself hesitated.
How did Jia Xu do it?
He tried to stay as far away from this question of right and wrong as possible.
But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, and everyone knows that Jia Xu is a representative of high intelligence.
Cao Pi sent someone to secretly consult Lao Jia on what to do.
Lao Jia's answer was grandiose and watertight: "The general should strengthen moral cultivation and strive to become a filial piety in the family and a model outside." ”
It is said that Cao Pi strengthened his self-restraint and forged ahead, and indeed won.
Cao Cao certainly valued Jia Xu's opinion.
Once, he sent the left and right attendants away, leaving Jia Xu alone, and directly asked him which son of mine you see is more suitable?
Jia Xu still didn't speak, and Cao Cao was anxious: "Old Jia, why don't you always talk!" ”
Jia Xu bowed his head for half a day before he held out his words: "Huh? I just thought about things and wanted to lose my mind, so I didn't answer the adult in time. ”
Cao Cao smiled, "What do you think?" ”
Jia Xu said: "I thought of Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng's father and son. ”
Cao Cao laughed.
The successor to Cao Wei was thus made the eldest son, Cao Pi.
Yuan Shao (Benchu) and Liu Biao (Jing Sheng) were both wasted and young, and the disaster caused Xiao Wall.
The sons fought first, and Cao Cao watched the fire from the other side to find a good time to destroy them one by one.
Yin Jian was not far away, how could Lord Cao Cao forget?
The establishment of Cao Pi's successor position was for the stable development of Cao Wei's Jiangshan Society. (At this time, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang was dead, so the second son Cao Pi was "the eldest".) ）
Of course, Cao Pi becoming the heir is not just a sentence of Jia Xu, and the people who write history will always expand their role in history in order to highlight the characters of this biography.
However, Lao Jia's insight made him watch the battle on this issue, which definitely affected Cao Cao's choice.
The personnel power of any company is in the hands of the company's decision-making level, and a wise person must be like Jia Xu, and it is the best policy to stay out of the way.

Life can not be smooth sailing, there are always sudden changes, how to deal with it, it is very important.
Ordinary me, etc., lack of wisdom, lack of strength, only one sentence: life is only once, may as well be bold. —Nietzsche said.
Jia Xu's extraordinary, reflected, boldness is amazing.
When he was young, Xiao Jia went to the west and was captured by the Qiang people with a large group of people.
The Qiang and the Han had fought for nearly a hundred years, and they were enemies of the past, and the Han fell into their hands and died a hundred deaths.
Xiao Jia immediately made a decision and said to the Qiang people, "I am Duan Taiwei's nephew, and you let me go." My family must have paid you a lot of money. ”
Duan Taiwei's name was Duan Jiao, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he destroyed the Eastern Qiang and killed more than half of the Western Qiang, and the entire Qiang people trembled when they heard this name.
This trick really worked.
Qiang people, in fact, including all people, are afraid of the strongman's power, which is why human beings diligently seek democracy and equality!
The Qiang leader discussed it, released Xiao Jia, and made a vow with him, presumably remembering this Ender and the like, and released Xiao Jia, while the other Han people were all killed.
This is Jia Xu's improvisation.
Of course, most ordinary people do not have his kind of wisdom, as long as you are bold, it is a big step for success in the workplace.
