In fact, before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, although on the surface, he was a leisurely look of "not asking what's going on in the world", in fact, he always paid attention to the outside world. "They are very capable of self-management. For example, we all know a very famous sentence in The Romance of Three Kingdoms: Wolong and Feng Chu are safe in the world.
So Zhuge Liang is just waiting for an opportunity. Because if he really wants to relax in troubled times, how can he let such remarks spread? Needless to say, he always compares himself to Guanzhong Le Yi. Liu Bei read Zhuge Liang's mind, so he ran three times in a row before inviting Zhuge Liang out of the mountain.
Since then, Liu Bei has repeatedly applauded Zhuge Liang's platform. Whenever Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refuse to accept it, they always see Liu Bei standing silently behind Zhuge Liang. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are honest at once-they can not listen to Zhuge Liang, but Liu Bei's attitude must be supported.
But the problem is that Liu Bei can't always cheer for Zhuge Liang on the podium, so "Huarong Road" has become an opportunity for Zhuge Liang to show his ability.
After Zhuge Liang forced Guan Yu to leave with a written order, Liu Bei said with great concern, "My brother is very loyal. If Cao Cao really goes to Huarong Road, I am afraid he will be released. "
Zhuge Liang's answer is: "Look at the dry elephant tomorrow night, and the thief will not kill." It's also a good thing to leave this favor and let Yunshang do it. "
This is an appropriate slang question and answer. Liu Bei's meaning is very clear: you and I both know that Guan Yu is loyal and will definitely let Cao Cao go. Why are you doing this? Do you really want to kill my second brother?
Zhuge Liang's answer is: Yes, Guan Yu will definitely release Cao Cao privately. I'm not gonna kill him. Don't worry!
Liu Bei went on to say, then I am relieved! (Mr. Shen suan, who is rare in the world)
Sure enough, Guan Yu released Cao Cao privately. Although we had a long quarrel, nothing happened in the end. This time, Liu Bei fully cooperated with Zhuge Liang, ostensibly pleading for Guan Yu, but actually telling Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by action: Brother, just serve Zhuge Liang, otherwise it will be too difficult for me to be a man.
Thus Zhuge Liang established the position of the second-in-command of Shu and Han, and established his prestige in one fell swoop! Shu Han's internal personnel adjustment has also come to an end. This is why Guan Yu released Cao Cao privately, but nothing happened. On the surface, Guan Yu was loyal and shared life and death with Liu, but what was hidden was a personnel adjustment, which erased the "ranking" and ended the struggle between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang.
This is Zhuge Liang's first great benefit from not killing Guan Yu: from then on, he can distribute the resources of Shu Han, including personnel appointment and related transfer, and determine his own authority.
Yi says: Easy is not easy. What happens in the world is always in dynamic change. Although Zhuge Liang established his authority with the help of Huarong Road, when Liu Bei died, it was obvious that the former dual-core model of "Liu Bei Zhuge Liang" came to an end and was replaced by the model of "the minister was strong and the monarch was weak", and the balance between Shu and Han was broken.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang must make a second adjustment because this model is extremely dangerous. As a result, the Street-Lost Pavilion in Ma Su was upgraded from an accidental event to a major event related to the stability of Shu and Han.
Should Masu be killed? If you talk about military orders, like Guan Yu of Huarong Road, you must kill them. But obviously, because of Guan Yu's warning, if Zhuge Liang forgives Ma Su, no one has anything to say. But why did Zhuge Liang insist on criticizing Ma Su? Just one reason, just because there is no Liu Bei.
We should make it clear that Zhuge Liang must put himself in the position of "second in command", otherwise Shu Han will easily be overthrown because of the imbalance between monarch and minister.
As Ma Su was trained by Zhuge Liang, it can be clearly seen from The Romance of Three Kingdoms that Zhuge Liang has great hopes for him, just like Zhuge Liang's successor. Unexpectedly, he made such a big mistake, which led to the complete collapse of the excellent situation in Qishan. Zhuge Liang had to take risks and sang an empty plan.
Therefore, killing Ma Su is actually equal to Zhuge Liang's self-deprecation. Liu Chan understood Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts and cooperated. In this way, Zhuge Liang is equal to announcing to everyone: No matter how strong I am, I am also for Shu Han, and I am a loyal servant.
Liu Chan thus established his own authority, and Zhuge Liang's killing of Ma Su was the second biggest benefit, which eliminated all people's doubts about him and avoided the passivity in personnel adjustment and resource allocation in the future.
The so-called, what's going on in the world lies in personnel! Obviously, if Zhuge Liang can't straighten out the personnel relationship, no matter how great his skill is, he will be unable to display it due to serious internal constraints. Therefore, a truly capable person must also be a person who is good at making use of every opportunity to create space for himself. Otherwise, it is "talented and difficult to apply, ambitious and difficult to stretch", which cannot be ignored!
