Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. Why are so many generals willing to take refuge in him?

In enterprises, we often divide employees into four grades: genius, talent, mediocrity and stupidity. There are not ten thousand geniuses. Ma Hua Teng won the Zhang Xiaolong and made WeChat, which established Tencent's dominance in the social field. Ma Yun won Cai Chongxin, helped Ali standardize its operations and helped Ma Yun achieve the Ali Empire. Behind the genius, there are more talents to pay. How to find talents and put them in the right position has always been a problem that puzzles enterprises and team leaders. Let's learn from history and see how the ancient emperors did it.

Wei, Shu, Wu and Cao Wei are the first in both quantity and quality. Let's talk about counselors, including Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Yu Xun, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Ye Liu, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and Yang Xiu. Five military commanders, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Zhang He and Huang Xu, Eight Tigers rode Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Coss, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Cao Hong. Let's start with the historical background:

Patriarchal clan

Cao Cao himself is a descendant of the clan. Judging from the lineup of Cao Wei, Cao Cao's early enemies were basically children of Cao Shi and Xiahou, and Cao Cao was blessed in this respect.

region

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, reading was still a luxury. There are only two ways to study, namely, internal cultivation of clans and academies. At that time, there was no academy, and the so-called academy was also a place where clan forces educated their children. At the same time, select some potential people with foreign surnames to accompany them for clan use. At that time, there were two gathering places of scholars in Yingchuan and Xiangyang, and Cao Cao's sphere of influence just covered Yingchuan, and most of the talents in Yingchuan were used by him, such as Yu Xun's uncle, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhong You and Chen Qun.

justice

The key to the rise of Cao Cao has to be mentioned. With the emperor as a vassal, Cao Cao had the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he could recruit talents from all over the world and use them.

General trend

Since ancient times, all dynasties have been unified by the north and the south, except of course the Ming Dynasty. After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao unified the north, which is likely to sweep the world. It is also reasonable for all parties to vote.

In summary, do you think Cao Cao's success is due to his family background? In fact, compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms and Four Generations, the background is really rich, but why did Cao Cao succeed in the end?

Use of personnel

Sincerity, emotion, confide in people, be frank and open, convince people by reasoning, match words with deeds, win people by trust, so as to forbid people, put themselves in the position of the legal system, tolerate people, encourage people to blame themselves, repay people with virtue, and repay people with virtue.

cohesive force

Cao Cao has cohesion because he has affinity; And his affinity is related to his personality. Cao Cao is a man of temperament, and he is also very easygoing at ordinary times. He likes joking and often tells serious things with jokes. This character is very helpful to his career. It is not good for politicians to be too serious. It won't make people feel too smart and unreliable; It just makes people feel unreasonable and inaccessible. It is best to work hard, be free and easy at ordinary times, be uncompromising in principle, be careless, and have the prestige and majesty of the leader as well as the human touch and sense of humor. Such a person can win the heartfelt love and support of others. Cao Cao is such a person.
