A few years ago, when the Qin Dynasty was not yet destroyed, Zhang Liang, as an anti-Qin righteous man, participated in many civil resistance activities and inevitably fought with Qin soldiers.

Every time I was able to escape from death and survive to this day, although it was partly due to luck and the fact that my brothers risked their lives to protect each other, it was undeniable that I had the strength and courage to stand face to face with the Qin soldiers.

As the saying goes, 'Things don't come together'. If a weak person escapes from a strong person once or twice, it may be due to bad luck. If it happens one after another, it is not as simple as luck.

Zhang Liang obviously had extraordinary courage as he was not afraid of the tigers and wolves of Qin. He survived several battles with Qin soldiers unscathed. Even a man with mediocre martial arts skills had honed his courage.

Most of the scholars are gentle, graceful and thin men. The reason why they choose to study literature instead of martial arts is that some of them really love literature and are rich in wisdom but hate martial arts. Others are weak in body or come from a scholarly family and have no choice but to do it.

The scribes were spared the pain of blood spilled on the battlefield.

Among them, there are a very small number of people who are very peculiar. They are both good at writing and martial arts. On the surface, they look like scholars. In fact, they are not as incompetent as ordinary scholars. They are just too scholarly and good at it.

It's just that it's hidden so it's not easily noticed.

Zhang Liang, who had been enemies of soldiers many times, was a peculiar scholar. Everyone knew that he was intelligent and resourceful, but his early experiences were ignored.

In these troubled times, people only look at its bright spots, and few people investigate in depth. What's more, Zhang Liang's whereabouts were erratic before he became the military advisor of the Han Dynasty, making it even more difficult for people to understand.

The scholar who crawled out of the blood and bones was not only courageous, but also brave and powerful. This is the interpretation of "literacy can stabilize the country, and military force can rule the country".

Before Huang Shigong taught the art of war, Zhang Liang was just a down-and-out man. His writing was incompetent, his military skills were incompetent, and he was wandering on the edge of poverty and death.

A copy of "Tai Gong's Art of War" changed Zhang Liang's life, and he embarked on the road to glory. Since then, he has been shown to others as a counselor. The world only knows his wisdom but not his courage. He is a minister in the same palace.

The generals are no exception.

The generals in the army certainly knew that their military advisors knew how to use swords, but in their opinion, they were just children playing with swords for their own entertainment. At most, they were just like ordinary soldiers and not considered brave.

Little did they know that Zhang Liang's bravery was no less than that of a lieutenant colonel in the army. Although he did not practice martial arts or show off since he took the position of military advisor, his courage did not diminish at all, but became more powerful.

The strategists of the Han Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing, and were much stronger than in the previous miserable days. The will and strength honed by years of poverty would not disappear in just a few years of superior circumstances.

A person like Zhang Liang is hard to come by in a hundred years. In the past few years, he has had plenty of food and clothing, and has healed his body's hidden injuries. His body is now stronger than before, and his strength has naturally increased instead of diminished.

"You thief, you are so powerful! You are a scholar, but you have such abilities! I didn't expect you could hide them so deeply!"

Cao Shen's arms trembled due to the sudden and huge push, and he almost pulled back. When he looked at Zhang Liang, there was no trace of contempt in his eyes, but full of solemnity.

Before taking action to kill Zhang Liang, Cao Shen knew that Zhang Liang had a back-up plan. Judging from his sinister and cunning character over the past few years, he must have already thought of a strategy to face the fatal situation.

A wise man has no choice but to make mistakes in his lifetime. No matter how smart a person is, he will take a nap sometimes. This is unavoidable because humans are made of flesh and blood after all. No matter how powerful the mind is, it needs time to rest, unlike gods.

So energetic for a lifetime.

Therefore, wise people will think of strategies to deal with various crises, dilemmas, and dead ends in the future. Although they cannot predict the people or things that will lead to desperate situations, they can make assumptions in advance and try to deal with them.

A wise man must have worries. What makes him most anxious is that his thoughts are seen by others. If it is to benefit the king and the people, it is okay.

A man who is in trouble but remains calm in the face of danger, who has a sword at his side, who is forced by his colleagues but who is mentally and physically strong, is not a person who is at the end of his rope, but a terrible person who is still evil-minded and still has hope.

Cao and Zhang Liang had been colleagues with each other for many years. Although they had little contact, they knew each other quite well because they were both important ministers of the Han Dynasty. Even if they did not take the initiative to communicate or inquire, their subordinates would send information.

There are many smart people among military generals, and Cao Shen is one of them. A strong general like Fan Kuai has no intention of investigating a person, especially his superior military advisor, who will only focus on killing people.

But Cao Shen is different. He will remain calm and investigate these important officials in the country in detail. This matter is as important as beauty and wine, and it is worth spending a lot of money to do.

Only by knowing the details and temperament of the ministers in the DPRK and having a suitable opportunity in the future can we deal with them with certainty of victory and avoid the situation of just staring at what others say.

If the handle is grasped, then this person will become a puppet at the mercy of others. If he is a powerful minister, he will definitely become a solid backing or assistance.

In addition, for loyal ministers and good generals, understanding the civil and military situation in the DPRK and China can help them know who is traitorous and who is loyal, so that they can embark on the patriotic path of eliminating traitors and helping loyalty. This is what a loyal person must do.

At the same time, you can also leave yourself a way out, which is to curry favor with the powerful person. As long as you hold on to this thigh, at least you will not die miserably. If you make him happy, you may suddenly be granted the title of prince.

.

Otherwise, once he is unhappy, anyone will dare to chop him down, and they will all be hacked to death, and the pillar of the country will be destroyed in a matter of minutes. By then, death will be light, and if he is unhappy, it will not be surprising to have his bones broken and ashes thrown away.

The most typical example is Zhao Gao of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. After taking power, he would kill anyone he didn't like. Even General Meng Tian, ​​who held military power and had outstanding achievements, was easily killed by him forging a false edict.

.

Therefore, a truly wise person will take the time and effort to understand the civil and military ministers of both our and our enemies. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be invincible. This also applies to our own court.

"Zhang Thief! This general underestimated you. I should have seen that you have a lot of strength!"

Cao Shen was frightened and persisted. At the same time, he stared with big eyes and roared: "Don't say you are hiding your strength. Even if you are hiding a tiger, I will kill you today! Either you die or I die.

!”

The sound of thunder shocked people's hearts and exploded in Zhang Liang's ears. His heart trembled involuntarily, but he showed no fear. He still gritted his teeth and pushed the sword outward with a solemn expression.

Cao Jian's roar had no effect and he was very angry. His anger had reached its peak. His face turned red and his eyes were as red as blood. He stared at Zhang Liang like a sworn enemy.

The roar can be shocking, and the fierceness can break the courage. Although Cao Shen did not roar often on the battlefield, he spent many days practicing in the camp. Because he was with the soldiers who fought bloody battles every day, the roar was not only shocking in sound but also shocking in sound.
