What should you do when you encounter a boss who refuses to listen? There are three options: first, report to your boss’s boss; second, try to persuade him again, until he listens or he gets angry and fires you; third, leave it to fate.
The third option is not advisable, it seems a bit irresponsible, and the second result is even more undesirable, because it actually does not help, and it also causes great harm to oneself. Only the first method seems advisable, but if the boss
What should we do if we no longer have a superior? For example, when a minister faces a king.
When your boss holds the power of life and death, or at least can easily influence your future, not only does the first option become a fantasy, but even the second option is extremely dangerous. If you can't stay in a company, you can still
Jump to other companies, but if you can't stay in an empire, your remaining options are very limited, either die or defect. The former will kill you, the latter may survive, but the whole family may die.
So after much deliberation, the third option was the only feasible way. And Zhao Yun chose the third option.
Wei Ba could have chosen the third option, if his father Wei Yan could keep a low profile like his master Zhao Yun. But now he knows that changing his father Wei Yan's temper may be more difficult than defeating Cao Wei.
Someone once told a joke. God said to someone, I can grant you a wish. Someone was very happy and said, I want to live forever. God said, this request is too high and impossible. Someone backed down.
Secondly, he said that he hoped that Chinese football could win the World Cup. God was silent for a long time, and then said, let's consider the first wish.
It is easier for God to let someone live forever than to let Chinese football win the World Cup.
For Wei Ba, it was easier to defeat Cao Wei than to let his father get rid of his bad temper.
Because at least there is still a possibility.
The possibility of saving yourself, your parents, your brothers and sisters, and even the entire Wei family.
Wei Ba hesitated for a moment and then asked: "If master, he..."
"Stop talking, I don't know." Before Wei Ba could finish speaking, Zhao Guang interrupted Wei Ba and turned around and entered the cabin. Wei Ba opened his mouth, closed it in frustration, and looked at it awkwardly.
Fu Xing. Fu Xing also smiled bitterly, shook his head, looked at the never-ending river water, and suddenly sighed: "Winter is coming, and even the water is much shallower."
After listening to Fu Xing's words, Wei Ba suddenly thought of the saying "A dragon swims in the shallows and is tricked by a shrimp, and a tiger falls on the beach and is bullied by a dog." He also inexplicably thought of the encounter in Yangping Mountain and the graceful figure of the girl.
My mood just started to improve, and I suddenly felt unlucky. If that girl was a tigress, wouldn't I become a vicious dog? Bah, bah, bah!
Wei Ba then thought about it, what if he really couldn't become a dragon or a tiger, so what if he became a vicious dog? Anyway, no matter how well-behaved his father and son were, they were still arrogant and domineering warriors. If they couldn't become gentlemen, instead of being treated like frogs and boiled in warm water, why not give it a try?
Maybe he can turn around, or at least be free for a while.
The idea was decided, and Wei Ba suddenly became relaxed. He smiled and said: "Zhong Jian, I want to play this game with Zhuge Qiao, are you interested?"
Fu Xing only hesitated for a moment: "I was having a good time. Brother Zhongde is too calm and lacks killing power. Let's try it with Captain Zhuge. Maybe we will have a greater sense of accomplishment."
Wei Ba laughed and pointed at Fu Xing: "You are not calm enough. You have a young mind, a young mind."
Fu Xing squinted his eyes and tilted his head to look at the jade pendant hanging on Wei Ba's waist: "All the hard work of the Prime Minister has been completely wasted."
Wei Ba said with emotion: "In order to make a living for the people of the world, I can't care less about the Prime Minister's love."
Fu Xing couldn't help but laugh.
…
Wei Ba did what he said, and took Fu Xing to find Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao had been so busy these two days that he was about to get maggots. When he heard that Wei Ba had a game, he reservedly declined it twice, and then when he heard that it was
When it came to the tactical deduction, he immediately put his worries aside. As soon as Wei Ba explained the rules, he quickly understood, and the three of them started to deduce with great interest.
However, just at the beginning, they encountered a new problem. Zhuge Qiao had different opinions on whether Zhuge Liang could successfully capture Longyou. He believed that people were thinking about Han, and as soon as the army left Qishan, Longyou would definitely respond, so the army
No time is wasted on attacking the city. As long as they quickly rush into Longshan and occupy Longxian and Xiaoguan, the passage from Guanzhong to Longyou, Longyou and even the entire Liangzhou will be in the hands of the Shu Han.
Their disagreement lies in whether people's hearts can be used. Wei Ba and Fu Xing's view is that people's hearts may be available, but it will not play such a big role. Some people may surrender, but it seems unlikely that all of them will surrender without a fight.
Zhuge Qiao insisted that as soon as the army left Qishan, the entire Longyou army would surrender without a fight.
On this issue, Wei Ba doesn't like to argue, otherwise it will destroy his own prestige and boost the ambition of others. In a situation where he pays great attention to the call of righteousness, this handle cannot be passed into the hands of others.
"Okay, how about we discuss the two situations separately?"
Zhuge Qiao thought for a while and reluctantly agreed.
The two sides restarted the deduction, and after increasing the support of the people, the Shu Han's winning rate improved. However, it was only an improvement, and it was still not more than half. The best situation was that the Shu Han occupied Longyou. In the first stage of the battle,
Victory was achieved, but in the protracted battle that followed, the Shu Han was not strong enough, and the situation of long distances still could not be solved. The people's wishes can allow the city to surrender without a fight, but it cannot let the mountains turn into flat ground, and the canyons cannot be turned into thoroughfares.
.
After several deductions, Zhuge Qiao's face became ugly. He slowly put down the small flag representing the military strength in his hand, and waved his hand tiredly: "Ziyu, Zhongjian, I'm a little tired. I'm going to An'an tomorrow.
I’m sorry, I have a lot of things to arrange in advance, so I won’t play anymore.”
Wei Ba winked at Fu Xing and stood up to leave.
The two of them remained silent until they returned to their own boat. Fu Xing said disdainfully: "He just wants to save face and refuses to admit defeat. Why is he tired? He clearly has no tricks left."
Wei Ba comforted him: "Okay, he just needs to know the result. I believe he will convey the result to the prime minister. No matter what the final result is, we have done our best and wait patiently for the result."
Fu Xing snorted, stopped talking, and let out a long sigh. After a while, he suddenly said: "If I had known the outcome, I wouldn't have played this game with you. It's so boring to think that it's a losing situation."
Wei Ba glanced at him: "Have you ever seen an immortal person?"
Fu Xing was stunned for a moment: "Who will not die?"
"That's it. Everyone will die after birth, so why are you working hard? Why don't you wait to die?"
"This..." Fu Xing was dumbfounded.
"The important thing in life is the process, not the result." Mi Wei suddenly walked out, looked at Wei Ba, his eyes flashed, and then continued: "Everyone will die, so how to live is the most important thing.
Ma Fubo once said that a real man would rather be shrouded in horse leather than die in the bed at the hands of his children. Rather than live silently for hundreds of years like Feng Tang, it is better to live a short and vigorous life like Huo Piaoyao."
Wei Ba and Fu Xing looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, he asked loudly: "Captain Mi, when did you... come?"
Mi Wei chuckled lightly: "I heard that you guys played games all night long. I was very curious and came here to have a look. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to watch."
Wei Ba was embarrassed. Mi Wei was the deputy general of the supply camp. He had stayed in the supply camp for so long, but he had never had any contact with Mi Wei. He didn't even call him Mi Wei when playing this game. It's not that he looked down on Mi Wei.
The main reason was that he was afraid that Miwei would avoid suspicion and didn't want to get too close to him. Now that Miwei has taken the initiative to come to the door, he is certainly playing into his heart.
"How about just watching from the sidelines? If you want to come, how about a fight?" Wei Ba squinted his eyes, deliberately showing a provocative attitude.
Mi Wei curled his lips: "Are you deceiving me that people from the Mi family are not good at military affairs? Don't forget, although I have never fought in a war, when it comes to calculations, I will not give in easily."
"That is, the Mi family has been in business for generations, so how can they be weak in calculations?" Zhao Guang also walked out and winked at Wei Ba: "Ziyu, you have met your opponent today.
"
Wei Ba was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said: "I can't get it, I can't get it."
…
Zhuge Qiao drooped his head and sat quietly in front of the case. There was no word on the cocoon paper spread out on the case. A few paper balls were put aside, being blown slowly by his heavy breathing.
He struggled a little.
After several rounds of deductions and contests with Wei Ba, the shock he felt far exceeded Wei Ba's estimation. He knew very well that he had actually maximized his own favorable factors, but despite this, the winning rate was still not enough to make him happy.
.If Wei Ba's settings are followed, then this Northern Expedition will be a disaster, and its consequences will not only be as simple as a failure, but may even destroy the entire hope of the Northern Expedition in this operation.
If the outcome of a war is determined to be failure before it even begins, then what is the point of persisting in this war?
Zhuge Qiao wanted to give his father a warning, but he was very worried that he would offend his father. Giving up before fighting would not only depress morale, but might also make his father think that he was cowardly and not good enough to achieve great things. He was better than Wei Wei.
Ba knew better how strong his father's confidence was, and of course now he also knew better than Wei Ba how unreliable his father's confidence was.
If only confidence could win, then the late Emperor Liu Bei would not have suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of Lu Xun in the Battle of Xiaoting, destroying most of the elite forces of the Shu Han Dynasty.
To say or not to say is a difficult choice.
Zhuge Qiao weighed it for a long time, and finally raised it with a pale face, wrote a few words on the paper, folded it carefully, called a guard, and said in a hoarse voice: "Give this to Wei Ba Wei Junjun."
