as the saying goes: "One has to bow one's head under the eaves." This means that when the power and opportunity are not as good as others, one should be able to bow his head, retreat, and keep a low profile for a while. You must be able to hold on to have your own goals and principles, and use this opportunity to temper yourself, so as to gain time for cultivation and rejuvenation, in order to make a comeback in the future.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Cao Cao cooks wine on heroes , Guan Gong earns the city and cuts the car", tells the story of Liu Bei's low profile.
Liu Bei has to take refuge in Cao Cao because of his weak strength, and the hero can hardly hide his loneliness. Once he is sent to the fence, even if he has a thousand ambitions, he can only promise. Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was a suspicious person, and naturally he couldn't tolerate a man who was as ambitious as himself. In order to prevent Cao Cao from murdering him, he planted vegetables in the backyard of his residence and watered it personally.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were quite puzzled about this, and asked Liu Bei why this is so. Liu Bei replied: "This is not something that two brothers can understand."
, please go to a banquet for Liu Bei for one day. I don't know Cao Cao's intentions, and he can't help but feel nervous. At the dinner table, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about the heroes of the world. They counted Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and others. However, Cao Cao dismissed these people. Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao suddenly said: "If it is a hero in the world, only you and me Cao Cao."
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. At this time, there was a loud thunder, Liu Bei took the opportunity to leaned down to pick up the chopsticks, and said: "The power of the shock, even here." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Is the man afraid of thunder shock?" Liu Bei said: "Sage Yunxun Lei Fenglie will change, how can you not be afraid?" In this way, he gently concealed his gaffe after hearing the words, and through this move, Cao Cao no longer doubted Liu Beixiong's ambition.
A few days later, Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to drink again. Suddenly someone came to the dinner table and said that Yuan Shu from Huainan and from Huaibei were preparing to join forces against Cao. Liu Bei put down his wine glass and immediately expressed his willingness to lead troops to the battlefield. From then on, Liu Bei stayed away from Cao Cao's monitoring and eventually achieved hegemony. The story of
