In life, many people will envy others' good luck. Why is it so easy for him to get rich and get promoted? My abilities and credit are actually not worse than him, so why do I always lag behind him? This is the problem that many people sighed about, "Feng Tang Yi Lao and Li Guang are difficult to block" .
Times pass by and fate is bumpy. This may be a problem that everyone needs to face, but this is not an excuse and reason for us to face life! What we need to do, is always to face everything we face with a positive attitude and perspective. You should know that what we are facing is what God has already weighed and arranged.
"Li Guang is difficult to block" is it really just because of luck? Is history and justice so untestable in our hearts? Perhaps, only when we break out of our superficial emotions can we get the real answer to the question!
briefly introduces Li Guang's life
Li Guang, born in the year of his birth, Longxi Chengji (now Qin'an County, Gansu Province). His ancestors were the famous generals of the Qin Dynasty, Li Xin, and he was considered a family of generals.
Li Guang's family background and outstanding talent, has developed a good martial arts since he was a child and is unique among his peers.
Han Wendi 14th year (166 BC), the opportunity finally came. Huns raised an army of 140,000 troops invaded Xiaoguan . The passionate man was determined by all directions. Li Guang joined the army as a good child and began his military career.
Li Guang, who is skilled in martial arts, is undoubtedly The dragon returns to the sea and the tiger roars in the mountains and forests. was soon promoted to the General of the Central Army for outstanding abilities and outstanding military achievements.
For his outstanding combat effectiveness, Emperor Wen of Han once praised it, saying that if Li Guangsheng was in the era of Emperor Gaozu, it would be no problem to have sealed marquis of 10,000 households!
When it was Emperor Jing of Han, Li Guang was appointed as the commander of Longxi County , and soon promoted to the general of Qilang.
The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms , in order to win over Li Guang, who has always dared to fight and rush, Liu Wu actually gave private gifts to the general seal without reporting. The key is that one dares to give and the other dares to ask for. Li Guang actually accepted it happily.
Therefore, although Li Guang later made the contribution to seize the flag under the city of Changyi, he did not receive any reward. Instead, he was quickly transferred from the Central Army sequence of and went to Shanggu County (now southeast of Huailai, Hebei) to become the prefect.
Li Guang was very excited after arriving in Shanggu County because this was a severely affected area of the border of the Huns and wars often occurred. Li Guang felt that his hero had found a place to use it.
However, why did the Han Dynasty not want to get fire with the Huns too frequently? The main reason is that the military costs of both sides are different! Therefore, Li Guang, a militant who refuses everyone, is actually very worrying.
For this reason, Gongsun Kunxie, a vassal state, said to Emperor Jing of Han artistically: """ "
Emperor Jing of Han deeply agreed, so he transferred him to the prefect of Shangjun (now southeast of Yulin, Shaanxi) . Later, he was transferred to the prefect of the border county and the prefect of Lingxi, Yanmen, , and Yunzhong.
However, Li Guang, who has strong combat attributes, is a cool boy wherever he goes. can become famous for his courage, hard bones, and high martial arts skills. During the period when Li Guang was the prefect of Shangjun, Li Guang also directed and acted in the early Han Dynasty's empty city plan. The story of is roughly as follows:
The eunuch of the Han army led dozens of cavalry to encounter three Hun soldiers in the field. As a result, dozens of cavalry to be killed and killed, but the eunuch was able to escape and report to Li Guang.
Li Guang immediately brought more than 100 cavalrymen with him and went to chase him, and successfully shot and killed two Hun soldiers and captured one alive.But just as they were preparing to retreat successfully, they were targeted by the large army of the Huns.
At the critical moment, Li Guang was quick to learn and sang the empty city plan. ordered the army to advance instead of retreating, and directly advance to a place less than two miles away from the Xiongnu position to stop, and personnel dismounted, unloaded their saddles, and rested on the spot.
The Hun soldiers who were puzzled did not dare to attack rashly. The two sides were in a stalemate until midnight. The Hun soldiers left voluntarily for fear of the Han army attacking the camp. Li Guang and his more than a hundred soldiers were able to escape from the tiger's mouth. The key point was that during this process, the Han army's large troops did not know where Li Guang and others were going and could not meet them.
Li Guang's various personal heroic deeds made him increasingly famous in the military field at that time. After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he immediately transferred this martial arts master to Weiyang Palace to be the commander of the Imperial Guard. Because Emperor Wu of Han was very warlike in his heart, he was unwilling to miss a general like Li Guang who could fight.
6 Yuanguang Sixth year (129 BC), Emperor Wu of Han organized the attack on the Huns for the first time. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was still thinking about cultivating military generals from the middle and young ranks such as , Wei Qing, , etc., to see their abilities, and to improve the plasticity of tactics.
However, for Li Guang, who was famous for , Emperor Wu of Han still gave him a chance. After all, there are legends about him everywhere in the world. forced him to suppress him, which is a bit difficult to convince the public.
So, Li Guang changed from Wei Wei to general, and led a large army with Wei Qing and others to attack four groups. Li Guang was responsible for leading the army from Yanmen Pass to attack the Huns. This Yanmen Pass is famous in history because it is almost the preferred route for the invasion of foreign races in the north, which means that Li Guang's trip is the most stressful and the heaviest task.
As a result, in the face of absolute strength, Li Guang, the tough guy in , could not be hard. Not only was the troops wiped out by the Huns, but Li Guang himself was also captured.
Fortunately, the Huns have always advocated bravery and have long heard of the reputation of the fierce man Li Guang, so they are reluctant to kill Li Guang. Finally, Li Guang, who was seriously injured, seized the opportunity and successfully seized the horse and "break the prison".
After Li Guang, who was defeated in the battle, went back, he spent money to eliminate disasters and was demoted to the people, but he finally saved his life. After a year, in the first year of Yuanshuo (128 BC), Emperor Wu of Han re-activated Li Guang when he arranged the Xiongnu defense line and named him the prefect of the right Beiping (now southwest of Lingyuan, Liaoning).
During the period when defending the border, the Huns felt that Li Guang was too desperate to fight, so they tried to avoid going directly with Li Guang's troops. also called Li Guang "Flying General of Han" . Over time, although Li Guang did not fight much, his reputation became increasingly popular.
A few years later, Li Guang, who had no war, was transferred to Chang'an to serve as a doctor. It was equivalent to going to the local area for a while and then being transferred back to the center.
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo of Emperor Wu (123 BC), Li Guang was renamed as the general and returned to the army sequence again. In the third year of hunting, Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry as a doctor, as the head of the army, to go out of the right side of Beiping, preparing to find the Huns to gain some military achievements. Unexpectedly, his small army of 4,000 people met the large army of the Xiongnu 740,000 elite cavalry, and was surrounded.
"Hu hit him quickly, and the arrow was like rain." Under the storm, Li Guang led his troops to break through after fighting for several days, and finally led only a few soldiers to escape successfully.
Although Emperor Wu of Han was extremely domineering, he was not completely unreasonable. knew that Li Guang was no wonder that this defeat was not a mistake, so he gave Li Guang an opinion on whether to reward or punish.
In the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), Emperor Wu of Han ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead his army to fight against the Huns. Li Guang volunteered. Emperor Wu of Han first refused on the grounds that his age was getting older, but later he could not withstand Li Guang's repeated requests and agreed to him as the former general.
After Wei Qing's army went out of the frontier, he found out the location of the Xiongnu Shanyu because he captured the Xiongnu soldiers. He decided to take a beheading operation that directly attacked Huanglong. He also ordered Li Guang and the Right General's troops to merge and attack from the East Road to play a tactical role.
Li Guang believes that he is a former general and deserves to be a striker. He has bargained with Wei Qing many times, but all of them were forcibly rejected by Wei Qing. Finally, he could only lead his troops to join forces with the right general Zhao Shiqi and set off from the east road.
However, the east road is long and the terrain is complex, and Li Guang does not pay much attention to terrain detectives and other work when fighting. Therefore, Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's Eastern Army delayed the appointment with Wei Qing because they were often lost, which led to Wei Qing's failure to capture the Xiongnu Shanyu alive in this operation.
Afterwards, when Wei Qing summed up the war, he asked Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi to explain the situation so that he could report to Emperor Wu of Han. Zhao Shiqi was quite cooperative, but Li Guang was very resistant and did not answer.
Wei Qing was a kind person. He didn't want to make things worse, so he urgently ordered Li Guang's shogunate staff to explain the situation. At this time, Li Guang, who did not want his subordinates to be implicated, ran to Wei Qing for trial and confrontation.
arrived at Wei Qing's camp, and Li Guang said to his subordinates: " I have fought with the Huns more than 70 times since I was a teenager. Now I am lucky to go out with the general to fight with the Shanyu army, but the general transferred my troops to go on a long journey and got lost. Isn't it God's will? Besides, I am in my sixties, and after all, I can't be insulted by those swordsmen anymore." so he drew his sword and committed suicide.
After Li Guang's death, the soldiers and people from all over the country cried bitterly for it. The veteran of a hundred battles failed to die on the battlefield, but ended in such a hurry. How regretful and sad and angry, !
Analysis of the reasons why Li Guang is difficult to block
Li Guang is still very popular in history, including Taishigong Sima Qian, who has a high reputation for him. Because Li Guang has a personal heroic color and a certain tragic sensibility, it is very consistent with the public's aesthetic view. From another perspective, compared with heroes like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who have some connection with the taste of households, heroes like Li Guang are more in line with everyone's emotional needs. In addition, Li Guang cared for the soldiers below and was deeply loved by everyone.
According to historical records, Li Guang was upright, honest and generous, clumsy in words and taciturn. He cared about his subordinates, cared about his soldiers, and “shared food and men with them.” He often gives anything that the emperor gives to him to his soldiers and enjoy it together. He has held an official position of "Two Thousand Stones" for more than 40 years, but "there is no place for the family" and never talks about family property. Li Guang led his troops to a place where food was cut off and water was lacking. Once he encountered a source of water, if everyone did not drink it, he would not touch the water; once he had food, the soldiers would not eat it first, he would not taste it.
So, after Li Guang's death, what the people saw was not Li Guang's suicide due to defeat, but Li Guang worked hard all his life and dozens of his subordinates were granted the title of marquis, but he was unable to be granted the title of marquis. This is actually just an emotional obstacle, which everyone finds difficult to accept. The eternal debate about "Li Guang is difficult to seal" is actually a kind of public sentiment doubt, doubting the fairness of the Han official system.
In fact, if we can truly put aside the phenomenon and look at the essence, it is reasonable and expected that Li Guang was not named a marquis. It is not just a matter of luck and fairness, but a serious deficit in Li Guang, which makes it difficult for him to win the highest honor of the general - the title of a marquis. Let’s give the following examples to illustrate!
First of all, let’s talk about the incident of Li Guang accepting the general seal of that was privately granted by Liang Wang Liu Wu. Anyone with a little political awareness will not accept this kind of thing! Why? Because the biggest taboo in the workplace is to disrespect the top leader’s personnel appointment and removal rights .
You Li Guang accepted the general seal of King Liang Liu Wu. Will Emperor Jing of Han think you are the confidant of King Liang? Do you think you are determined to advance and retreat with King Liang? Although King Liang and Emperor Jing of Han are brothers, they are also superiors and subordinates. If you, Li Guang, dare to accept the title of King Liang, do you regard King Liang as the supreme leader? What did Emperor Jing of Han think of you? Where can he place the seriousness and authority of his imperial power?
In the workplace, the eldest brother is the eldest brother and the second brother is the second brother. There is a fundamental difference between the two! You should know that the eldest brother is always the eldest brother, and he also needs to establish a sense of superiority and authority in front of the second brother. Therefore, we must not use our second brother to replace our eldest brother.
After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was quelled, many generals who participated in the war were rewarded, but Li Guang was eventually transferred from the Central Army sequence, and there was a reason. Which leader would like you, a subordinate who can't even tell the difference between the primary and secondary, especially in a crucial military sequence!
Military is actually just a continuation of politics. From this incident, we can see that people like Li Guang actually have strong professional limitations. It can be said that most leaders don’t like him very much.
Next, let’s talk about Li Guang’s narrow-mindedness and avenge his private revenge. Didn’t it be mentioned before Did Li Guang stay at home for a while before he became the prefect of Youbeiping? Once, Li Guang rode out at night and was stopped by Balingwei, so he held a grudge for this. When Emperor Wu of Han re-enabled him in the second year, he asked Emperor Wu to place Ba Lingwei under his command and found a reason to kill Ba Lingwei as soon as possible. Although the incident of
was forced to be translated by Emperor Wu of Han, it can be seen from it that Li Guang is actually not very arrogant, easy to get angry and hold grudges, and he is also very cruel to take action.
Similar examples include he once deceived more than 800 Qiang people , but he went back on his word and killed them all in one day!
People with a small pattern usually cannot achieve big things! Because it is difficult for you to establish your own personality, no one is willing to work with you, so what do you use to accumulate your own resources? Unless you are very lucky and you have a great opportunity to become a hit. Most of us are ordinary people who need to accumulate strength and develop, and we need to establish a mutually fulfilling relationship with the people around us.
People with a narrow mind like Li Guang will think that you have no big prospects because you are too petty and lose the big because of the small. They are generally not willing to play with you; the people below will be afraid and uneasy about you. When they see you, , they will be vindictive and willing to kill you, and they will have a strong empathy. What if they commit it in your hands? So they don't dare to follow you wholeheartedly.
Let’s take a look, is Li Guang’s final encounter very embarrassing? Do leaders and colleagues like him very much? Otherwise, dozens of his subordinates would be granted the title of marquis. If everyone recognizes him and creates some opportunities for him, wouldn’t he be in power?
Then let’s talk about Li Guang’s lack of strategic capabilities and lack of tactical capabilities! Although Li Guang is a man with great martial arts skills, he is actually not a qualified general.
Li Guang fought more than 70 years of war with the Huns. This actually only shows that he is very old and has a lot of experience in the army, and it does not explain other issues. In fact, Li Guang has indeed not achieved very strategic and valuable results. At most, he has played a little personal heroism and achieved some local small victories.
Li Guang likes to show off his courage and fight hard. This style is actually only applicable to big-headed soldiers or grassroots officers. As a senior general, personal courage is a very trivial aspect. What needs to have strategic layout and tactical design capabilities.
Leaders like Li Guang who always take the lead in fighting against the enemy is actually very lacking and dangerous. Because as a leader, you are responsible for the entire team and the overall situation. When you get excited, you will take your brothers to the grave to dance and play difficult and exciting sports. What if you are not lucky and have a foot empty? Don't everyone finish playing?
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He will never defeat before he tries to win. This is the essential quality of a leader, that is, the most basic awareness of risk prevention and control.
Impulsive leadership solves the problem, and the general result is "Victory is a miserable victory, and defeat is a miserable defeat." Many bosses don’t like the high-cost solution of “killing one thousand enemies and hurting oneself”.
Li Guang is actually not a little worse than his " undefeated general" in the same period of Cheng Wuzhi , the level is not a little bit worse. For example, Li Guang is very accompanied in combat, so he can do whatever he wants. He does not pay attention to the periphery work such as detectives and guarding, and does not pay attention to the matter of setting up camps and marching. When you find the enemy, you lift your knife and rush forward. If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. , but the leader and govern the army should be much more rigorous, and then make decisions.
Cheng Buzhi once commented on him: "Li Guang's army is very simple, but the enemy soldiers invaded him, and there is no way to ban him; and his soldiers are also happy and happy to die."
Therefore, even though Li Guang is very capable and dares to fight, is risky, gambling tactics, hard work to the end, and fighting in an accident. military taboos are actually destined to be difficult to become a great man.
For example, if he sings the empty city plan, is that what a qualified military general should do? Why did the three Huns kill all the eunuchs' entourage and let the eunuchs come back alone? You are going to carry out a military operation. Should you say hello to the main force in advance? Do you need to consider a safe distance when you go out for adventure? If you play the empty city plan, if the enemy comes to test you in batches, how should you deal with the aftermath? This is not how to play the empty city strategy. If you are empty, you must first ensure that you have most of the real things.
In short, Li Guang has many shortcomings. Which boss in is willing to put his value chips on an unreliable person like you?
Finally, let’s talk about Li Guang’s luck problem. In fact, luck is also part of strength! Did Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han give him a chance? In fact, I still gave it to you, the key is that he didn't catch it himself!
You Li Guang fought a battle all his life, either a small victory or a miserable victory, or a demerit, or a loss, who do you blame? Shouldn’t you really think about your own reasons? Why are you always lost? Why don’t Wei Qing and Huo Qubing get lost? You have to lay the groundwork in advance! When it comes to finding a tour guide, you should be willing to go find a tour guide! If you don’t accept anyone, just hold the wall. How can this work?
To sum up, although it is a certain accident that Li Guang is difficult to seal it, the fundamental reasons and responsibility are still on him. The main reasons why Li Guang is difficult to seal it is insufficient in , lack of ability, insufficient military achievements, poor popularity, and lack of broad mind are the main reasons why Li Guang is difficult to seal it.
Li Guang’s realistic thinking that it is difficult to seal
As a general who fought on the battlefield all his life, Li Guang did not have a title of marquis, but his heroic and passionate feelings and his spirit of loving his country are always worthy of our study and remembrance. However, many of us like to use "Feng Tang Yi Lao and Li Guang to express our lack of luck or lack of talent" to express our lack of luck. However, it is biased.
Through the above analysis, it is actually understandable that Li Guang's difficulty in closing is difficult. Given Li Guang's various character and ability defects, people like him are actually very likely to encounter promotion bottlenecks in their career development. Because most leaders are not willing to pay for their feelings, but will only pay for their interests.
When promoting and appointing talents, leaders usually have a very particular set of "unspoken rules".For example, most leaders will discuss profit first and then meaning; for example, most leaders will take advantage of others first; for example, most leaders will like to spend small money to do big things...
Only when we interpret the environment and logic of the workplace with correct attitude and thinking, can we truly achieve long-term progress and development in the workplace with twice the result. Through Li Guang's life, I hope everyone will understand at least the following crucial truths:
1. What ability is the most important ability
Does Li Guang have the ability? There must be! In his era, being able to be skilled in bows and horses was an extremely valuable ability, because it was the era when cavalry was called. Moreover, Li Guang has very high martial arts value and strong singles ability. Being able to shoot stones and capture tigers is a great example. However, extremely excellent personal abilities like Li Guang sometimes do not mean that he will have a bright future.
In the workplace, there are generally few problems that rely solely on individual combat to solve, and they are generally very small. In other words, fighting alone is often difficult to become an efficient way to solve problems in the workplace. The major problems in the real workplace need to be solved in coordination. At this time, what is needed are coordination ability, analysis ability, layout ability, operation ability, emotional control ability and cost optimization ability.
Xiang Yu is so brave and invincible, but still cannot escape defeat; Kong Ming is so resourceful, but still cannot restore the Han Dynasty. Although Li Guang is brave and good at fighting, it is also difficult to achieve courage but not strategy.
In the workplace, don’t always show your boss the courage to “I want one to beat ten”. As long as you come like this, your position in the boss’s mind will be at most a “thug”. The boss of actually likes the kind of subordinate who can help him solve problems by slightly describing it, and you can help him handle things very well no matter what he gives you.
capability is always for capital! Your abilities must be consistent with the tone of leadership and platform, and create value that is in line with the interests of most people, so that it will have real meaning. Li Guang's ability is actually more responsible for his passion and courage, and it does not benefit much from the overall situation of the war.
Suicide Squad is indeed exciting, but no team will rely mainly on Suicide Squad to win!
2. What kind of appeal is a scientific and reasonable career appeal
Many of us have heard since childhood that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier", so it seems reasonable to be determined to be a marquis like Li Guang.
However, we must understand that ideals are good things, , but the real good ideals are always the kind that you can get by just jumping up, rather than the moon in the sky and the flowers in the mirror. That is not an ideal, it is a fantasy.
Many people are wondering why Li Guang was able to quickly make his mark in the army at the beginning? But later on, the stage of the title of marquis was unable to break through? In fact, this is a problem that the difficulty of career development channels increases due to changes in levels. Li Guang was at the grassroots level at the beginning, and as long as his personal abilities were excellent enough, it would be easy to stand out. However, as his position becomes higher and higher, the requirements for him will be different. As a leader of the party, you have to be responsible for the entire situation and learn to allocate existing resources reasonably to serve the grand strategy. Your personality is becoming less important and less desirable.
In the workplace, those who have developed extremely smoothly are those who are good at gradually adjusting and optimizing their abilities in a specific environment. They will perfectly combine their professional demands with the environment they are in and the abilities they already have.
Like Li Guang who wants to be a marquis, he must first ensure that his political awareness can keep up with him and make his boss feel at ease; secondly, his contributions must be kept up with him. Western Han is to be made up of marquis. He must keep up with his military merits; then, his own pattern and vision must keep up with him. You are a person who wants to do big things. You cannot follow your own temperament. You must think about the overall situation and be strategic and tactical. Finally, your ability must be kept up with you, you must take the initiative to create the ability to solve problems, and you must eliminate difficulties and risks independently.
In short, Our professional demands must match our abilities and conditions . Don’t be whimsical, but work hard down-to-earth. We want a lot of things, but we often have very few things we can ask for!
3. If you want to, you can’t get it. Instead, look for it in your own
In the workplace, there must be many people like Li Guang who cannot achieve his professional demands. However, we must understand that everything in has cause and effect. Don’t blame others, but look for your own problems more modestly and cautiously, and quickly adjust to a better self-state.
Don’t shirk the reasons to some false factors. This explanation is actually a kind of self-comfort. When encountering problems, say that you are not lucky. This will make you feel more comfortable. What problems can you solve? Luck itself is part of strength. Li Guang is always lost. Why don’t Wei Qing and Huo Qubing get lost? Looking at the absorption and utilization of nomadic personnel in other people's troops, this shows that they are doing a lot of important tasks ahead. Is this strength or luck?
Luck, this kind of thing can be one, two, and not three. It will not be for no reason, nor will it remain unchanged. Sometimes, luck just allows us to better contact and integrate into a new environment or thing, and the rest still requires hard strength to support it.
Some things you didn't do once or twice, may say that you were not lucky by masturbating, but fail three or four times, can you still say that you are just unlucky? Why do you remember to eat but not to beat? Why not summarize the experience and lessons? Why not do market research? Why not adjust and optimize yourself?
failed and had bad luck. These things are actually not really scary! What’s scary is that some people will always only look for reasons in the peripheral environment, and they are always right and do not need to be adjusted.
People like Li Guang are actually a child who has not grown up all their lives. has always lived in his own world and will not face reality objectively and bravely. When encountering problems, the first thing you think about is the reasons of others. For example, when he marches and fights, he likes to act spontaneously and likes to rush hard. You can fight, but are your subordinates so capable? Who will be responsible for their lives and safety? For example, Emperor Wu of Han gave him opportunities many times, but he was not sure about it, and blamed Emperor Wu of Han for being partial. In fact, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were also entrusted with important tasks after many trials. For example, Wei Qing arranged for him to support him on the east road, and he felt that Wei Qing deliberately excluded him. People analyzed the accident later, and he also felt that they were deliberately making things difficult for him...
In short, only children in will require the whole world to obey themselves, and a mature person will often adapt to the world and the environment with a more positive attitude.
ends. To put it more, in our lives, there are people in each unit who are very popular with subordinates like Li Guang but not favored by leaders and colleagues. These people are not mature enough and have oversimplified the logic of the workplace. is actually very simple because it is necessary to make subordinates like it. Take the people-friendly route, and don’t bother them less, and don’t strictly restrict them. It’s basically over; but to satisfy the leaders, many higher-level assessment indicators involved require strong professional ability to support it.
