What debating skills did Zhuge Liang use in the debate between Confucianism and Taoism? (the first time)

In real life, when we ask others for help, we usually keep a low profile and say some soft words in exchange for others' pity! But more than two thousand years ago, Zhuge Liang wanted to unite Wu against Cao, but he didn't lower his posture and curry favor with Sun Wu and Chao Tang. Because Zhuge Liang knows that Sun Quan is a hero, what should he do to cooperate with the hero? The poor can only be slaves and servants of heroes; An impressive person deserves to be a hero's partner and partner! Heroes don't choose people on their knees as allies. While the iron is hot, you need to be hard. Therefore, from the moment Zhuge Liang stepped into the imperial court, he was ready to fight to the end with Jiangdong civil servants and military commanders. Only by overwhelming them in imposing manner, demoting them to nothing, scolding them to nothing, and scolding them with dog blood, but he is reasonable, Sun Quan will give himself a chance, and Jiangdong will give himself a chance.

So, what tricks and strategies did Zhuge Liang adopt when he "contended with Confucianism"? Looking through the historical materials, we can see that Zhuge Liang took the action of "reasonable content and unreasonable attitude". Is this reasonable or unreasonable? Let's see how Zhuge Liang applied this strategy to the debate with Zhang Zhao, the first counselor of Jiangdong:

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and stepped into the court. The first debate in Jiangdong was the famous counselor Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao adopted a circuitous strategy. He first came up to chat and asked Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Long Wen, you are taller than Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Is this true? "

Zhuge Liang's way is that if you say big, I will say small; If you think it is high, I must say it is low. Objection first, then reason, so he immediately replied: "This is my usual small comparison, nothing." Zhang Zhao walked into the camp step by step, and then said lukewarm, "I heard that Liu Beisan invited his husband out of the mountain in the thatched cottage and was going to sweep the nine counties of Jingxiang." However, now you are watching the meat on your lips being taken away by Cao Cao. What do you think, sir? "

Zhang Zhao wanted to ask Zhuge Liang, "Aren't you Guan Zhong Le Yi? Since you have such great talent, why didn't Liu Bei go to find you instead of taking the nine counties of Jingxiang? " What are you crazy about? "

In the face of criticism, Zhuge Liang spoke three truths: "First, it is too easy for us to take this land, just like flipping over the palm of our hand. It's not that we can't get it, but that our master Liu Bei Renyi couldn't bear to seize the inheritance of the same clan, so we took the initiative to push it off; Second, Cao Cao didn't get Jingzhou by strength, but the fool Liu Xian listened to the treacherous court official and secretly surrendered. Third, now that our princess is stationed in Jiangxia, she is more ambitious and ready to make great achievements. This is not something that ordinary people can understand. "

As can be seen from the above paragraph, Zhuge Liang basically opposed it unprincipled at first, and then persuaded it with reason; After rational reasoning, there will be one or two emotional devaluations in the end. This is called "rationality in the middle, irrationality on both sides".

This is great. If you want to attack your opponent when you talk, you will be speechless. This method is the most effective! Sure enough, the gentle Mr. Zhang Zhao was suddenly angered.

He said to Zhuge Liang with a little excitement:' In this case, your words and deeds are contrary to Kong Ming's! First, your husband compares himself to Le Yi, Guan Zhong, and others protect Qi Huangong from Guan Zhong. He is a vassal with nine grades and conquers the world. Le Yi helps weak Yan, and Lianke Banner 72 City. These two are heroes. But what about your old gentleman? Let's see, before Liu Bei got you, he was still able to attack the city. Since I invited you, I have been defeated. I was beaten by Cao Cao to give up the new item and go to Fancheng. I was defeated and went to Xiakou. There is no place to live. It's a complete failure. Why didn't you play a good role when you came out of the mountain, but you made people worse? "

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang gave each other a contemptuous look, and then made a cruel remark. What did he say? He said, "Swallows know the ambition of swans, while Dapeng Wan Li takes off. Where can you birds and sparrows see his ambition? " This is a bit harsh, which is equivalent to calling Jiangdong counselors ordinary people and gluttonous people! This is still the old routine, "truth is in the middle, arrogance is on both sides." First, suppress your arrogance and degrade your personality.

Then, Zhuge Liang launched a wonderful strategic analysis: "First, if a person is seriously ill, he should take care of himself gently first. When he is strong, he will have capital, and then he will fight the disease head-on!" Take out strong medicine and face each other without looking at the situation. This territory is dying! We have few major generals and weak physical strength, so we won't rashly confront the enemy. Assess the situation and choose a strategy. This is the hero! No matter what happens, come up and fight for your life, that's called dying! Second, even under such unfavorable circumstances, we still beat Xiahou Chun and Coss out of the water and fled. This is the level of Guan Zhong and Le Yi! Third, Liu Sui surrendered to Cao Cao, and we shared life and death with everyone. This is also the great righteousness. Fourth, winning or losing is a common occurrence for military strategists. At that time, the high-impedance Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but the key battle was a great victory. These truths are beyond the reach of those who talk big and talk empty! Those people sit and talk, and no one can do it; It's no use improvising. Really smile at the world! "

This rebuttal made Mr. Zhang speechless and angry!
