Who is the wisest person in the Three Kingdoms? It is definitely not Cao Cao, nor Zhuge Liang, but Sima Yi! After decades of incidents, Sima Yi endured the humiliation and concealed himself. He killed his old rivals Zhuge Liang, and killed his old boss Cao Cao and his son. Then he suddenly exerted his strength and successfully killed his competitor Cao Shuang. The Jin Dynasty regime laid the foundation. It can be said that Sima Yi is the one who has the last laugh.
Overview of Sima Yi's life, there is a clear main line, that is, to achieve a big cause, you must be able to "endure". You must have the self-cultivation of "come down", the courage of "low your head", the wisdom of "pretend to be stupid", and the cruelty of "getting down". No such thing, it is difficult to have a big picture, it is difficult to make a big business.
One, calm down
They all say that Sima Yi is suspicious. In fact, this is a valuable quality of leadership. Suspicious, the essence is calm. As a commander-in-chief, one's mind can't get hot. It was because of impulse that Liu Bei was exploited by Lu Xun, and he was so angry that he died.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang had a headache only Sima Yi! No matter how Zhuge Liang challenged Wuzhang Yuan, Sima Yi could not shrink. The northern expedition of the Shu army could not last long, Zhuge Liang wanted a quick decisive battle. Sima Yi will fight you a protracted battle. Zhuge Liang was so anxious that he sent Sima Yi women's clothes, meaning that you are not as good as a woman! Most people could not bear this insult, but Sima Yi not only accepted it cheerfully, but also rewarded it. Zhuge Liang's radical method was easily deciphered by the calm Sima Yi.
Su Xun said: "One patience can support a hundred courage, one static can control a hundred moves ". Patience can resist impatience and recklessness, and composure can restrain desire and impulse. In reality, there are temptations and traps everywhere. If you should endure it, you should be quiet, you can't show courage, and you can't be arrogant.
There are both pride and frustration in life, and there are also troughs in career peaks. No matter what situation you are in, you must be like Sima Yi, calm down, not be humiliated, and not let emotions control your will. Such a talent will have great achievements.
Two, keep your head down
The ancients said that the strong are easy to break, and the soft will last forever. Facing a powerful enemy, when one's own strength cannot be matched, one must learn to bow his head. Bowing your head is not weakness, but keeping a low profile, and even survival wisdom .
In his early years, Sima Yi worked under Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi had the appearance of "Eagle Eyes and Wolf Gu", so he was very jealous and refused to reuse it. Sima Yi had to be a man with his tail clamped, and he never let Cao Cao grasp the handle, otherwise he would have been killed by Cao Cao like Kong Rong and Yang Xiu.
In the late period of Cao Wei, Cao Shuang turned Sima Yi from Taiwei to Taifu through the rise and fall, and he seized the real power of Sima Yi. Faced with Cao Shuang, who was in power, Sima Yi knew that the time was not yet ripe. If he fought back, it would be difficult to win, so he took the strategy of bowing his head and retreating. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says: "Sima Yitui can't get rid of illness, and both of his sons retired."
In the TV series "Military Division", the description is more vivid. Sima Zhao is very angry: Cao Shuang is too bullying, let's fuck him if it doesn't work! After hearing this, Sima Yi calmly asked Sima Zhao, "How is this Cao Shuang better than Zhuge Liang?"
Sima Zhao replied: "Yi Er."
Sima Yi said: "Fight against an ant-like person. Isn’t it stupid to shed blood? It’s inevitable that people will live with stupidity in this life, and we must learn to bow to stupidity.”
Facing the invincible Cao Shuang, Sima Yi chose to avoid his edge and bow his head to admit counsel. This kind of bowing is not an unprincipled compromise, but a strategy of retreating for progress, and a kind of wisdom to keep a low profile.
Willfulness is the biggest enemy of career! The real strong are smart and low-key, they will think rationally, rather than inspiring. This is the reason why the small can't bear it, the chaos and the big plot.
Strong people are not necessarily strong. If you want to be successful, then you must remember: The strong only do what should be done, not just what you like, let alone hitting rocks with pebbles.
Three, pretend to be silly
Speaking of Sima Yi pretending to be stupid, everyone is familiar with the 106th chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms "Sima Yi’s Fraud Earning Cao Shuang" ". Throughout the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and "History of Jin", the cunning Sima Yi has pretended to be stupid three times. One is to analyze the situation, one is to protect yourself, and the other is to fight back.
Play stupid for the first time. "The History of Jin Dynasty" records that in the six years of Jian'an, Cao Cao served as Sikong and wanted to use Sima Yi. Sima Yi politely declined because of suffering from "fengbi". Cao Cao didn't believe him and sent someone to test at night. Sima Yi lay motionless on the bed, pretending to be true. Cao Cao had to give up. Later, Cao Cao became the prime minister and wanted to start Sima Yi. He specifically confessed to his subordinates that the servant "if the situation is restored, he will be accepted." The consciousness is that this kid will be shameless and kill him directly. So Sima Yi "takes office with fear." Why did Sima Yi pretend to be sick? Because the current situation is unknown, although Cao Cao is San Gong, but his strength is not as good as Yuan Shao, Sima Yi is choosing to wait and see!
Play stupid for the second time. The second time is the empty city plan. It is impossible for Sima Yi to fail to see Zhuge Liang's tricks. The reason why he retired was based on his insight into the strategic pattern of the Three Kingdoms and his own destiny. Zhuge Liang is the pillar of Shu. If he is caught or killed, Shu will soon perish. Han Xin’s example is there, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the dog is cooking! Only the mouse is alive, the cat has the value of use. At that time, the Wei lord Cao Rui was in his prime, and if Sima Yi ruined Shu, turning around Cao Rui would destroy him. Therefore, Sima Yi was deliberately deceived, not only to save himself, but also to be able to explain to him, it can be described as wise and foolish.
Play stupid for the third time. After Emperor Wei Ming passed away, Cao Shuang squeezed out Sima Yi and assumed power. When Sima Yi saw that the situation was not good for him, he began to pretend to be sick. Cao Shuang was not at ease, and asked Li Sheng to use the excuse of resignation to explore the truth. Sima Yi pretended to be seriously ill in front of Li Sheng, "Go to the crown to spread, go to bed and sit with the blanket". He didn't even have the strength to hold the bowl, and looked as though he was dying of illness. Not only did he deliberately listen to "Jingzhou" as "Bingzhou", he also pretended to say: I became ill like this, and I was alive within a few days. The two sons are ineffective, and I hope the general will be promoted a lot in the future. Sima Yi repeatedly coaxed and deceived Li Sheng to play with Li Sheng.
Lao Tzu said: Great wisdom is like foolishness, great skill is like clumsy. If a person wants to survive, he must sometimes learn to act stupidly. can see clearly but not clearly, see through but not point.
Whether it is in the workplace or in business, you will often encounter suspicion and suppression. For example, leaders are afraid of your high power and your opponents squeeze your living space. If you do it, you will die miserably! Only by pretending to be dumb can you survive the catastrophe.
Four, you can get it done
Throughout the ages, all those who have done great things are those who dare to do it at critical moments. Cao Cao is, Liu Bang is, and Sima Yi is. Even with the use of force, if you have the benevolence of a woman in your heart, it is only the courage of a man, and it is difficult to accomplish great things. The most typical is Xiang Yu!
Sima Yi will never be a person like Xiang Yu! What he wants is power, a state, and will not give his opponent a chance to breathe. Once you seize the opportunity, like a dormant cheetah, it jumps up and bites the throat of the prey.
Cao Shuang is going to sacrifice to the imperial tomb and send Li Sheng to find out the news. After Li Sheng left, Sima Yi, who was "mostly ill", got out of bed immediately, summoned his two sons urgently, and said: "Li Sheng is here, and Cao Shuang will definitely not guard me anymore. We can win them in one fell swoop only when they leave the city."
When the Wei lord Cao Fang, the general Cao Shuang and the other ministers left the city, Sima Yi immediately closed the city gate and took the opportunity to launch a coup, which is known as the "Gaopingling Change" in history. It's ridiculous that Cao Shuang had a chance to come back, but he listened to Sima Yi's nonsense. I thought that by surrendering power, I could be a local tyrant (Sima Gongyi should want to seize my power. I can return the title,Can be considered a rich man). Unexpectedly, Sima Yi turned his face to read more than a book. Cao Shuang disarmed, immediately beheaded Cao Shuang and his party feathers in the city, and annihilated his three clans.
Judging from the killing of Cao Shuang, Sima Yi can be said to be "act when it is time to do it". The timing is accurate and the methods are fierce. Those who do big things must have such determination and cruelty.
As the saying goes, the one who laughs best is by no means the one who laughs first, it must be the one who laughs last! Want to laugh to the end, pretends to be a fool several times, and be a grandson several times, it doesn’t matter! For your lofty goals, endure the humiliation, success is yours.
