Calculating before fighting, how should we understand winning by over-calculating?

Li Zongwu believes that strategy is very important for a successful person. Only by being good at using strategies and using them to improve your plan before fighting with your opponent can you be closer to success and ensure a greater possibility of victory.

Dispel the clouds and fog, face the truth

Li Zongwu believes that in a fight, your opponent will often use false illusions to confuse you in order to achieve the effect he wants. For thick black people, you must learn to identify the opponent's false words, so that through this illusion, you can see the opponent's true purpose, so that you can make targeted deployments.

In the 13th year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (AD 208), Cao Cao sent his troops south to conquer Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, had died of illness, and Liu Cong, Liu Biao's son, surrendered to Cao Cao. The proud Cao Cao decided to go down the river and eliminate Sun Quan in the east of the river. He wrote a letter to Sun Quan saying: "I came to pacify the place under the imperial decree. When the military flag pointed south, Liu Cong tied his hands and brought the scholars from Jingzhou to see me. Now Jingzhou has been pacified. I have reorganized 800,000 naval troops, and I would like to go hunting with General Sun in your territory of Wu. What do you think, General?" Sun Quan was shocked after receiving this letter, and Zhang, an old minister of Soochow, was shocked. Zhao believed that Cao Cao was very powerful and invincible, and advised Sun Quan to surrender as soon as possible. Sun Quan was undecided and very distressed.

After Sun Quan’s general Zhou Yu heard about this incident, he immediately rushed back from the front line to the rear. He said to Sun Quan: "My colleagues were frightened out of their wits when they saw Cao Cao's letter. I believe that the troops brought by Cao Cao from the north are at most 150,000 or 60,000, and the surrender troops received from Liu Cong , only 70,000 to 80,000. Where did he get the 800,000 navy troops? Please give me 50,000 elite soldiers, and I will definitely defeat Cao Cao." Zhou Yu's words gave Sun Quan reassurance. Sun Quan decided to fight to the death with Cao Cao.

The final result was just as Zhou Yu expected. Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and fled in panic. Soochow not only successfully defended its territory, but also dealt a heavy blow to Cao Cao.

Li Zongwu attributed the victory of the "Battle of Chibi" to Zhou Yu's insight. Zhou Yu's greatest success was that he did not become discouraged and give up resistance just when he heard that Cao Cao had 800,000 troops like other Jiangdong officials. Instead, he calmly analyzed and thought, thus debunking Cao Cao's so-called "800,000 troops". After seeing the truth of the facts, he made targeted deployments and defeated Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

Houheixue points out that there is a layer of illusion on the surface of everything. Only through careful analysis and thinking can you see its true face and prevent yourself from falling into a dangerous situation.

In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (AD 194), Cao Cao launched an army to attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, knew that it was difficult to defeat the enemy, so he asked Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai, for help. Kong Rong asked Liu Bei to go with him to rescue Xuzhou. Liu Bei readily agreed and led thousands of troops to Xuzhou.

Seeing Liu Bei coming to rescue, Tao Qian hurriedly welcomed Liu Bei into the city and entertained Liu Bei with a feast.

During the dinner, Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was extraordinary and heroic, so he offered to let Xuzhou be managed by Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly declined. No matter how much Tao Qian begged, Liu Bei still refused to agree.

Later, Liu Bei wrote a letter to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao would withdraw his troops out of national interest. At this time, Lu Bu led an army to attack Yanzhou, Cao Cao's territory. Cao Cao had no choice but to sell his favor to Liu Bei and retreat.

Tao Qian saw that the foreign enemies had retreated, so he once again asked Liu Bei to give Xuzhou to him.

Liu Bei said: "I came to rescue Xuzhou at the invitation of Kong Rong for the sake of national justice. Now if I occupy Xuzhou for personal gain, won't the world think that I am an unjust person?" Everyone tried hard to persuade each other, but Liu Bei just refused to obey.

Tao Qian had no choice but to say: "There is Xiaopei not far from Xuzhou, where you can hoard troops. If you are unwilling to accept it, then please temporarily garrison Xiaopei to protect Xuzhou." When Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian no longer forced him to accept Xuzhou, he readily agreed.

However, not long after, Tao Qian fell seriously ill, so he sent someone to invite Liu Bei and offered to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei for the third time.

Liu Bei still refused, and Tao Qian died with his fingers. When the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou learned about Tao Qian's death, they strongly expressed their willingness to support Liu Bei in taking over the power of Xuzhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also repeatedly persuaded him.

At this point, Liu Bei agreed to accept the power of Xuzhou and served as its pastor.

This is the story of "Tao Qian surrendered to Xuzhou three times", which has always been considered to be evidence of Liu Bei's benevolence and generosity. However, Li Zongwu believed that the reason why Liu Bei made excuses several times was because he had a clear understanding of the world situation at that time. He saw the potential danger in Xuzhou and understood the true meaning behind it, so he repeatedly refused.

At that time, Xuzhou was in dire straits, and the surrounding warlords, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, etc., were all eyeing this place. Therefore, taking over Xuzhou is equivalent to getting a hot potato, which will inevitably cause many disputes. Liu Bei's strength at the time was far from enough to fight against the foreign invaders. How could he defend Xuzhou? It was precisely because Liu Bei saw the hidden danger behind Xuzhou that he surrendered several times.

Li Zongwu said: "Liu Bei resigned from Xuzhou not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't." Facts also proved that Liu Bei's caution was right. After Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he was attacked several times by Lu Bu and Cao Cao. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon Xuzhou, and his wife and children were separated, which was terrible. It can be seen that things are often not as simple as we think.

Hou Heixue’s secret to success lies in understanding his opponents and the things around him. Only by clearing away the fog can you see the blue sky; only by dispelling the clouds can you see the truth of the matter; only those who are good at observation can achieve a career.

Pay attention to strategy and think twice before acting.

The ancients said: Think twice before acting. If a person wants to succeed, he must pay attention to thinking and formulate his own strategies and plans based on thinking, so that you can correctly deal with possible problems and achieve final victory.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao took the emperor from Luoyang to his base in Xuchang, "held the emperor hostage to order the princes", and gained great political advantage. After that, Cao Cao used the emperor's banner to conquer those forces that opposed him, and brought all of northern China under his rule.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213 AD), Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. This broke the rule set by Liu Bang that "non-children with the surname Liu cannot be crowned king". He had already assumed great power and became the actual ruler of the Han Dynasty.

Later, Cao Cao's political treatment reached its peak. He was allowed to use the emperor's ceremonial guard. Except for his title of emperor, he was no different from the emperor. Therefore, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, sent the captain Liang Yu to pay tribute to Cao Cao and wrote a "Persuasion Form" to persuade Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor and express his willingness to become a minister to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao read the letter, he understood that Sun Quan would not be so obedient to him, but had ulterior motives. So he smiled and said to the people around him: "Sun Quan wants to put me on the stove to roast me!" Chen Qun, the servant, and others said: "The world of the Han Dynasty has ceased to exist in name only. The king of Wei has done great work for the benefit of all people in the world. The king of Wei should ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor without hesitation." Cao Cao said: "If fate really favors me, then I will become King Wen of Zhou." /p>

Why didn't Cao Cao proclaim himself emperor? Li Zongwu believed that the reason why Cao Cao did not proclaim himself emperor until his death was not because he didn't want to, but because he knew he could not do so. Cao Cao knew the pros and cons of becoming emperor very well. Cao Cao knew very well that once he proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bei and Sun Quan would definitely unite to attack him on the charge of "usurping the Han", making him a target of public criticism. At that time, he would not only have to bear such an infamy, but also face The heavy suppression inside and outside the court was detrimental to Cao Cao, who had already taken control of the actual political power of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he gave up such a status and handed over such a task to his son Cao Pi.

Things are constantly developing and changing, and the situation is changing rapidly and fleetingly. Those who are thick and black must learn to assess the situation and think twice before they act, so as to ensure that they will not cause a complete defeat due to a momentary mistake.

In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao miscalculated his own strength and rashly sent troops to attack Cao Cao without careful consideration and planning, and ultimately suffered a complete defeat.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (AD 199), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao summoned his advisers to prepare for a war to annihilate Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shao's advisors Tian Feng and Ju Shu expressed their opposition. Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "Now the world is falling apart, and the people are living in hardship, with no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies.

At this time, it is time for us to develop agricultural production and stabilize the people. How can we launch such a war? What's more, the emperor is now with Cao Cao. If we attack rashly, we will be morally condemned by the world. This It is extremely detrimental to us. We can send a small army to harass Cao Cao from all directions and make Cao Cao exhausted and overwhelmed. In this way, we can eliminate Cao Cao in less than three years. Now that you have gathered all your troops and rushed forward, what should you do if you fail? Please think again, my lord. ”

Yuan Shao refused to listen and thought that Tian Feng was cursing his failure, so he ordered Tian Feng to be imprisoned.

The result was just as Tian Feng expected, Yuan Shao was in Guandu During the battle, he listened to the words of Guo Tu and others, and was defeated. Not only did he lose the war, but he also failed to recover from it, and lost the opportunity to compete with Cao Cao for world supremacy.

As the saying goes: One day. Yuan Shao's biggest mistake was that he did not carefully analyze the current situation of himself and his opponent based on the world's situation before the duel began, and he did not carefully weigh the options of going out in full force and dividing his troops to harass. The pros and cons led to his ultimate defeat. On the contrary, with the help of his advisers, his old enemy Cao Cao used his own strategy and wisdom to compare the strengths of the two sides, and finally won.

Houheixue believes that the most important thing for a person to succeed is to analyze and understand the environment, opponents and oneself, so as to grasp the entire situation and choose the method and path that is most conducive to one's success.

Li Zongwu believes that a successful person can lack any ability, but he must not lack the ability to think. A person without the ability to think will definitely not be favored by success. It can be seen that there are pros and cons. The ability to weigh and think and judge things is so important to a successful person.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles

There is a saying in the art of war: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. Similarly, for a successful person, if you act rashly without understanding your opponent, the result will only be a mess and end in failure.

There is a salesman who is responsible for selling vacuum cleaners. His performance was poor and he could never make a breakthrough, so he was troubled. He calmed down and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

On this day, he came to a high-end residential area with full confidence. He spotted a house, and then according to his latest sales strategy, he walked to the door of that house with a large bucket of garbage.

After ringing the doorbell, he waited for the other party to open the door and started selling. Without even saying hello, the clerk rushed directly into the other party's living room and dumped the bucket full of garbage on the other party's floor.

With a look of astonishment on the hostess's face, The salesman shouted, "Ma'am, you don't have to worry. I guarantee that with the superior performance of our vacuum cleaner, this garbage can be completely removed within 10 minutes. If I can't do that, I'll eat all this crap. ”

Then, he stood there, waiting for the other party to show a curious expression, which would allow him to confirm that the other party had the desire to buy. Who knows, the hostess turned around and walked in without saying a word

The salesman immediately asked nervously: "What? Don't you want to see with your own eyes the super functions of our company's vacuum cleaners?"

At this time, the woman The owner took out ketchup and soy sauce from the kitchen and said to him: "I am more interested in what kind of seasoning do you want when you eat these garbage?"

Salesman Even more surprised, he said: "I haven't even started operating the vacuum cleaner. How do you know it can't completely remove the garbage?"

The hostess smiled easily and said: "The thing is Like this. We just moved in today and there is no electricity at all in this house. I'd really like to see if your company's vacuum cleaners have functions that can be operated without electricity. ”

Full self-confidence is certainly one of the conditions for success, but before the situation is clear, excessive self-aggrandizement and neglect of understanding the opponent’s information will definitely lead to failure. The real Confidence comes from adequate preparation.

The changing Three Kingdoms period was the time for heroes to use force.

At that time, a group of counselors in Wei, Shu, and Wu, such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, etc., were able to predict events like gods whenever they encountered war, and their grasp of other people's situations was astonishing.

Zhuge Liang is the outstanding counselor among the Three Kingdoms. The story of "Huarong Dao" illustrates his deep understanding of the people on both sides of the enemy and us. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao fled. Zhuge Liang determined that Cao Cao would definitely take the path of Wulin, so he arranged in advance for Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to lead troops to ambush, but he did not send Guan Yu to attack. Guan Yu was puzzled and asked Zhuge Liang why. Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao once treated you with great kindness and kindness. Now that he is defeated, he will definitely take the Huarong Road to escape. If you go, you will definitely let him go out of consideration for your previous kindness, so I don't dare to let you go." "Guan Yu immediately issued a military order, and Zhuge Liang agreed to let him go to the Huarong Road to ambush, and let him set off smoke on the high mountains, waiting for Cao Cao to pass by, and kill him by surprise.

Guan Yu was puzzled by this and asked: "If Cao Cao saw smoke on the mountain, why would he take this road?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao himself is a military strategist. , when he saw smoke on the mountain, he must have thought it was a suspicious plot, and he must have passed there."

After Guan Yu left, Liu Bei asked worriedly: "Since the military advisor knew where Cao Cao was going to go, why. Why should Yun Chang go? If he lets Cao Cao go, won't he be punished?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Lord, don't worry, although Cao Cao is dangerous, his life should not be cut off. Let Yunchang go because he wants Yunchang to repay Cao Cao's favor." Liu Bei was still doubtful.

Every step of the subsequent development of the war was exactly as Zhuge Liang expected. Due to the pursuit of the Wu army, Cao Cao had no choice but to rush to Wulin Trail. When he saw the dense trees and steep mountains and rivers in this place, he couldn't stop laughing. The generals were very surprised and asked him: "Why is the Prime Minister laughing?" Cao Cao said: "I laugh at Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang for their lack of wisdom. If he ambush a group of troops here in advance, what else can we do?" Before he finished speaking, , Zhao Yun came out and was so frightened that Cao Cao almost fell off his horse. After the soldiers desperately protected him, Cao Cao was able to escape. Then Cao Cao laughed again, and unexpectedly Zhang Fei laughed again. Cao Cao finally broke through the levels and encountered two forks in the road. Cao Cao saw smoke on the path and decided to take the path. A general said: "When there is smoke, there must be troops and horses. Why did the Prime Minister take this road?" Cao Cao said: "Zhuge Liang is good at strategy, so he asked people to put smoke on the path to prevent us from walking on this road, but he did Leading a large group of people to ambush on the road, how can you deceive me with such a plan?" So he decided to take a small road. However, after walking less than a few miles, he saw Guan Yu leading his army to fight out. Cao Cao was shocked. Guan Yu could have captured Cao Cao alive, but he couldn't bear it when he saw that Cao Cao's followers were all ashen-looking and exhausted, so he let Cao Cao go. Everything was as expected by Zhuge Liang.

Why can Zhuge Liang be so clever? In fact, it is because he has enough understanding of his opponents and colleagues. He knew that Cao Cao was a far-sighted military strategist, so he guessed Cao Cao's actions from Cao Cao's perspective; he considered Guan Yu's perspective and saw through Guan Yu's loyalty. Therefore, it can be said that the story of Hua Rongdao was arranged by Zhuge Liang. He used his own skills of knowing people to win a victory.

Li Zongwu believes that if a person wants to find his own position in a complicated society and win his own success, he must know how to observe and understand others. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

1% mistake will bring 100% failure

Li Zongwu believes that thick black people must be fully prepared when facing their opponents, because 1% Mistakes may lead to 100% failure. You must study your opponent carefully and don't give your opponent any chance once you make a move, so that you can reap the final success.

During the Qing Dynasty, the "red-top businessman" Hu Xueyan was extremely wealthy, but his collapse was also extremely rapid and sudden. The reason is that his opponent Sheng Xuanhuai took advantage of Hu Xueyan's slight strategic mistake and hit his vital points, making him unable to support himself in a short period of time. In the end, he lost control and the wealth building collapsed.

Hu Xueyan hoarded a large amount of raw silk every year. This business grew bigger and bigger, and eventually he not only monopolized the raw silk market, but also controlled the price of raw silk. Although Hu Xueyan is hoarding more and more, he is always waiting and watching, hoping to obtain more benefits.

Sheng Xuanhuai seized this opportunity and learned about Hu Xueyan's buying and selling of raw silk. While buying raw silk everywhere to sell to Hu Xueyan's customers, he contacted merchants and compradors from various places to boycott Hu Xueyan's raw silk. As a result, Hu Xueyan's raw silk inventory became increasingly large and his funds became increasingly tight. Unspeakable.

Previously, Hu Xueyan borrowed 6.5 million taels of silver from HSBC, and set a 7-year term, with repayments every six months, with principal and interest of about 500,000 taels. Later, he borrowed 6.5 million taels of silver from HSBC. 4 million taels, both of which were guaranteed by provincial rates. At this time, the repayment of the huge 800,000 taels that Hu Xueyan had raised for Zuo Zongtang over the years was coming due. Although this money was borrowed by the Qing government, it was handled by Hu Xueyan, so foreign banks just asked Hu Xueyan for money. . This loan will be compensated to Hu Xueyan every year by the government's rates. It stands to reason that as soon as the government's wages arrive every year, the Shanghai Daotai government will give the money to Hu Xueyan for his repayment. Unexpectedly, Sheng Xuanhuai made some moves here. He went to Shanghai Daotai Shao Youlian and bluntly stated that Li Hongzhang intended to delay the payment of the salary. Shao Youlian thought that it was not a big deal to delay his hair, so he naturally obeyed. Sheng Xuanhuai also colluded with foreign banks to collect money from Hu Xueyan. Due to the sudden incident, Hu Xueyan had to transfer 800,000 taels of silver from his bank in Fukang to make up the hole first. He thought that the salary would be paid anyway, but it would be delayed for a while. However, Sheng Xuanhuai gave Hu Xueyan a fatal blow. He secretly investigated all Hu Xueyan's money transfer activities. It was estimated that the money transferred by Hu Xueyan gradually left Fukang Bank. When Fukang Bank was empty, he asked someone to go to the bank to withdraw money and run.

These people who withdraw money are all wealthy gentry and merchants, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. But Sheng Xuanhuai knew that these people alone could not overwhelm Hu Xueyan, so he asked people to spread the news that Hu Xueyan lost a lot of money by hoarding raw silk, so he had to misappropriate the deposits of Fukang Bank. Now he still owes 800,000 yuan in loans from foreign banks. Fukang Bankruptcy is imminent. Although people believe that Hu Xueyan is wealthy, it is an indisputable fact that he has a backlog of raw silk and owes loans to foreign banks. Soon, people turned from disbelief to belief, triggering a wave of withdrawals.

Sheng Xuanhuai was in charge in Shanghai and built a great momentum. When the Shanghai run occurred, Hu Xueyan was on the boat back to Hangzhou. At this time, Dexin, who served as the Zhejiang vassal, had always been friendly with Hu Xueyan. Hearing that Shanghai Fukang was about to close down, he expected that there would be a run on Hangzhou Fukang. He hurriedly called two of his confidants to withdraw 20,000 taels of silver from the treasury and immediately sent it to Fukang. The situation in Hangzhou is still supportable, but in Shanghai it is already out of control. When Hu Xueyan arrived in Hangzhou, before he had time to rest, he hurried back to Shanghai and asked the manager Gao Da to urge Shanghai Daotai Shao Youlian to pay the salary. Shao Youlian asked his servants to pretend that he was not there. Only then did Hu Xueyan think of Zuo Zongtang, and asked Gundam to send a telegram as soon as possible. Little did he know that Sheng Xuanhuai secretly asked someone to withhold the telegram, but Zuo Zongtang never received the telegram. The next day, when Hu Xueyan saw no reply from Zuo Zongtang, he became really anxious and went to Shanghai Daotai Mansion in person to demand payment. But this time Shao Youlian had already fled.

At this point, Hu Xueyan had no choice but to mortgage his land deeds and real estate, and at the same time sell the accumulated silk at a low price, hoping to survive the run. Unexpectedly, this time the competition will become more and more fierce, Fukang banks in various places are already crowded with people. Only then did Hu Xueyan realize that someone had done something to him. After making inquiries, he found out that it was Sheng Xuanhuai, and Hu Xueyan soon died in sorrow and anger.

After Hu Xueyan's death, Sheng Xuanhuai lost a strong competitor, and his career has been booming since then.

Sheng Xuanhuai is worthy of being a master of black and white. He was not intimidated by Hu Xueyan's wealth. Instead, through his careful observation, he caught a small loophole in his opponent and finally achieved his own success. career.

Hou Heixue pointed out that no matter how powerful your opponent is, he will always have some small problems and loopholes. If you seize such opportunities, you can completely defeat him.

Manage strategies to win thousands of miles

Li Zongwu believes that when facing an opponent, a thick and black man might as well use the power of strategy to make the opponent bow to your wisdom. In this way It can help you succeed more.

Zhang Liang was one of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. He helped Liu Bang pacify the world and was an extremely outstanding military strategist. The comment of "making strategic plans and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away" is the highest praise Liu Bang gave him.

At the end of Qin, wars against the violent Qin started in various places. Liu Bang accepted the order of King Huai of Chu to break up Qin and began to march towards Qin.

In 207 BC, Liu Bang led his army to attack Yingchuan and advanced all the way, capturing many cities one after another. Just after Liu Bang occupied Chenliu, Zhang Liang led his men to join Liu Bang.

Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang: "How will Pei Gong prepare to use his troops now?"

Liu Bang said without thinking: "First capture Kaifeng, and then send troops to the west."

Zhang Liang suggested to him: "The city defense of Kaifeng is solid and difficult to conquer for a while. Now we should focus on destroying the Qin army. In my humble opinion, we can send some troops to surround Kaifeng and bluff. The Qin army in the west will inevitably If we want to rescue Kaifeng, we will ambush the main force in the west of Kaifeng and catch the enemy by surprise." After hearing this, Liu Bang felt that it made sense, so he readily agreed to Zhang Liang's plan and ordered the army. Act according to Zhang Liang's arrangements.

The results were as expected by Zhang Liang. When the Qin army received news of the emergency in Kaifeng, they immediately led their troops eastward. On the way, they were suddenly attacked by Liu Bang's main force and fled in a panic. The rebel army pursued them and defeated the Qin army.

After this war, Liu Bang wanted to go westward along the Yellow River and enter Renguanzhong through Hangu Pass, but he unexpectedly suffered a disastrous defeat in Luoyang. So Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang for advice.

Zhang Liang said: "Hangu Pass is the most important pass in Guanzhong and is extremely tightly defended. Peigong might as well go south and enter Guanzhong through Xuanyuan Pass and Wuguan Pass."

After the battle in Kaifeng, Liu Bang admired Zhang Liang's strategy so much that he followed Zhang Liang's advice and gave up his plan to enter the pass through Luoyang and Hangu Pass. He said to Zhang Liang: "The situation in Guanzhong is very complicated, and I lack a counselor like you. You can join me in Guanzhong!"

Zhang Liang readily agreed and joined Liu Bang's team. Among them, he became Liu Bang's counselor and made great contributions to Liu Bang's victory in conquering the world.

When a brave man meets a wise man, he wins, and when a wise man meets a wise man, he wins. It can be seen that wisdom and strategy are important weapons for you to defeat your opponents.

During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin used the method of "adding more troops and reducing the number of enemies" to make his opponent Pang Juan mistakenly think that Sun Bin's troops were exhausted, so he pursued him with all his strength. As a result, he was ambushed by the opponent, defeated and committed suicide.

Sun Bin defeated Pang Juan with the method of "adding more troops and reducing the number of enemies", and used the tactic of doubting the troops.

During the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu punished the veteran Huang Gai and made him suffer physical and physical pain. This deceived Cao Cao into trusting Huang Gai and made Huang Gai pretend to surrender to Cao Cao. In the end, he used fire attack tactics. Defeat Cao's army. This is the famous "bitter meat scheme".

Li Zongwu believes that the so-called strategizing and cunning strategies are nothing more than using ever-changing and mysterious methods to trick the opponent into entering the game and then defeating the opponent. This is the so-called "deception".

Zhuge Liang, the counselor of the Three Kingdoms who compares favorably with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, is also such a strategist who is good at using "deceit".

After Cao Cao defeated Zhang Lu and captured Hanzhong, he posed a great threat to Yizhou. Therefore, Zhuge Liang led his army into Hanzhong and faced Cao Cao's army across the Han River. After Zhuge Liang inspected the terrain, he ordered Zhao Yun: "You lead a group of troops, carrying war drums and horns, and ambush in the hilly areas upstream. As long as you hear the sound of cannons in our camp, you will beat the drums to cheer, but you are not allowed to go to war." Zhao Yun. Got the order.

The next day, Cao Jun came to challenge, but the Shu army could not hold on, so Cao Jun had to return to the camp angrily. At night, Zhuge Liang saw that the enemy's lights were extinguished, so he ordered the cannons to be fired. After Zhao Yun heard this, he ordered the army to sound the drums and horns. Cao Bing thought it was Shu soldiers coming to rob the stronghold, and hurriedly got up to fight, but no Shu soldiers were found. After struggling like this for several nights, Cao Bing was exhausted. Cao Cao felt terrified and ordered his troops to withdraw without fighting.

"Deceit" is not simply deception and deception, but requires a deep understanding of the other party's psychology. Zhuge Liang used the strategy of suspecting soldiers to scare off Cao Cao because he understood that Cao Cao was a suspicious person by nature.

Houheixue believes that it is indispensable to use cunning tactics to deal with the enemy on the battlefield. On the "battlefield" of life where there is no smoke, ingenuity and ingenuity are also needed. Businessmen can use delaying tactics to deal with competitors; bosses can use suspicion tactics to control subordinates...using tactics can make opponents unaware of the truth and what is going on. The situation has entered your "trap" and achieved your success.
