Chapter 118 Create a miracle with bending

When he left Qishan for the sixth time, Zhuge Liang won the victory in Shangfang Valley and almost burned Sima Yi and his son to death.It happened to be raining heavily at this time, and Sima Yi and his son withdrew safely. It was only after Sima Yi escaped from this catastrophe that he realized that Zhuge Liang's army was really amazing. It was only when he was so hot-headed that he took the risk of chasing Zhuge Liang that he was in such a catastrophe.So he hid in the camp and couldn't hold out. Zhuge Liang was short of food and grass and was eager to win, but he also wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it while the iron was hot, so he made people shout and fight in front of Wei Village many times, which angered Wei Jun.But Sima Yi believed that after a big defeat, fighting would not be good for him, so he decided not to fight.I can't beat you, can't I still can't grind you?

At this time, Zhuge Liang made a move and sent an envoy to give Sima Yi a set of clothes that women wear in mourning. He also wrote to provoke Sima Yi, saying that he was like a widow, "Gan Fen Cave guards the earth nest and fears swords and avoids arrows." ". As soon as Sima Yi saw Xiaofu, his face changed, but he calmed down immediately.Controlled my emotions.He was furious in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, pretended to smile, and said, "Do you regard me as a woman? I will accept it." Women are women, what's the big deal? He warmly entertained the envoy, and in front of the envoy, he didn't ask a word about the reality of the Shu army, but only asked how many hours Zhuge Liang slept every day, how many bowls of rice he ate, and whether he was usually busy.The envoy told the truth, and replied, "The prime minister sleeps all night long." He got up early in the morning and went to bed very late at night. "All those who were fined more than 20 boards will be personally inspected." He will personally ask those who hit more than 20 boards.It can be said that there are no details, and everything must be personally involved. "The food you eat is only a few liters", and you eat a few liters of grain every day.

After hearing this passage, Sima Yi sighed and said: "Kong Ming eats less and troubles, so it lasts for a long time!" How long can he last with so little food and such heavy work!The envoy returned to Wuzhangyuan and told Zhuge Liang the truth. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sighed: "He knows me well!" In the end, Zhuge Liang became ill from overwork and died soon after.From then on, Sima Yi was able to feel proud and show great ambitions. On the battlefield where the Shu and Wei dynasties are fighting, Sima Yi has always grasped a sense of proportion. Wins cannot be big, but small wins are acceptable, and losses cannot be big, only small losses. Conserve strength; the attack should not be too fierce, too fierce There will be too many casualties; it is not appropriate to show weakness when retreating, because if you show weakness, you will lose your spirit.Therefore, his attitude of being able to bend and stretch, to be big and small, is much better than Zhuge Liang.

It can be seen that when competing with competitors, temporarily dodging and dodging can preserve one's own strength for a long time.As the strength gradually becomes stronger, it will have the power to counterattack the opponent. When Qi wanted to attack Song, King Yan Zhao sent Zhang Kui as an envoy to lead the army to help Qi, but King Qi killed Zhang Kui who was sent by King Yan.King Yan was very annoyed when he learned about it, and vowed to avenge Zhang Kui, determined to attack Qi. Minister Fan Yao visited King Yan and advised him, "I always thought you were a virtuous king, but now it seems that you are not the one I admire. I don't want to be your subject anymore." King Yan Zhao said: " What made you say such a thing?" Fan Yao replied, "In the Panasonic Rebellion, our first ruler was captured, and you were ashamed of that, but you went to serve the State of Qi because you were too weak. And Now that Zhang Kui has been killed by Qi, but you want to attack Qi, doesn't this mean that you regard Zhang Kui as more important than your predecessor?" King Yan asked: "In this way, we can't fight. Zhang Kui is dead. What should we do?" Fan Yao said: "Please put on mourning clothes and live in the suburbs, and send envoys to Qi State to apologize as guests, and Qi Wang said: "Your Majesty, you are a virtuous king, these are ours. If the king is broad-minded, he will not kill the envoys of the princes. The envoy of the king of Yan was killed. This is the mistake of Yan's choice of people. I hope he can change the envoys to express his apology." The king of Yan then Swallowing his breath, he sent another envoy to Qi.

The king of Qi held a grand banquet. At this time, the envoy of Yan arrived in the state of Qi. He repeated what he said in front of all the officials to show off his power.King Qi proudly sent a very low-ranking envoy to order King Yan to return to the palace to show forgiveness. King Yan will not swallow his anger forever, he wants to accumulate strength to make the country strong.This requires attracting talents from all walks of life. Guo Huai, a minister of the King of Yan, proposed a plan to recruit talents: "Once upon a time, there was a king who bought a horse with thousands of taels of gold, but failed to fulfill his wish. An attendant said that he would buy a horse with five hundred taels of gold. It can be bought. The king promised to give him the money and ordered him to buy it, but the attendant brought back some horse bones. The king was very angry, and the attendant said: "If I do this, everyone in the world will think that the king will definitely pay a higher price." Come to buy a live horse, so that the horse will come to the door automatically.' Sure enough, in less than a year, this country has acquired many thousand-mile horses. If the king wants to recruit the world's wise men, please start with Guo Huai. I have no talent, but if you If you are willing to respect me, sages from all over the world will surely come one after another to be of use to you."

Later, according to what Guo Huai said, King Yanzhao respected Guo Huai as a guest of honor everywhere.Sure enough, if thousands of sages from all directions return to the sea, there will be a large number of talented people in the country of Yan.The country of Yan gradually became prosperous and prosperous, and the king of Yan no longer swallowed his anger and was willing to be a slave, and beat the country of Qi to the ground in the Jishui area. From his actions, King Yanzhao expressed the meaning of "the crooked is complete, the crooked is straight, the hollow is full, the poor is new, the little is the gain, and the many are confusing". strong.

Using flexion as extension means to endure temporary humiliation, work secretly, improve ability, strengthen strength, wait for the opportunity of the other party to relax, or the opportunity of heaven, and implement the method of "stretching" to make yourself successful. In the workplace, people are often oppressed or constrained by their direct leaders or senior colleagues. At this time, instead of making the other party wary by fighting for reason, it is better to bear it temporarily and strengthen learning to improve their ability.At the same time, build a good relationship with other colleagues, so that everyone has the opportunity to know your personality and talents.Once there is a suitable opportunity, you can express yourself and let everyone look at you with admiration.When you have made achievements and are affirmed by everyone, the oppressors will be punished as they should.
