I think I personally agree more with Zeng Guofan’s technique of controlling people. Why do I say that? We still need to analyze the characteristics of the three of them in controlling people, and the answer will be revealed. The so-called art of controlling people means to make others use themselves and let others follow one's own will. We can achieve this goal through cunning, of course, we can also achieve it by sincerely moving others. Guiguzi is the former, while Zhuge Liang is in the middle, and Zeng Guofan is It's the latter. The so-called "conquering people with virtue" is what I'm talking about. How can such a person not be admired?
Phenomena: Many of us are still like Guiguzi, who are cunning and scheming, always thinking of various shortcuts to achieve their goals. Although this is very efficient and does not require any extra effort, but , will there really be no counter-effects in using others in this way? I think there will be counter-effects. Take his disciple Su Qin as an example. It can be said that he is better than his master. He brought Guiguzi's skills of controlling people to the fullest. Even though he became a guest minister of Qi State, he still cared about Yan State and wanted to visit Shu. , used the King of Qi to protect the interests of the Yan State, but was eventually discovered and became infamous.
Although Zhuge Liang is not so cunning, he is also a man who is good at attacking people's hearts. Most of the battles he planned are related to psychological warfare. In addition to the right time and place, people and people are another important part. Not only must he consolidate his own military morale, but he must also defeat the enemy's military morale first. However, Zeng Guofan is different. His way of dealing with others is generous. He has always set an example, never harming the interests of others, and treating the people around him with a kind and tolerant heart. .
He received not only helpers, but also their hearts. These people were willing to do something for him because it was worth it and because they were grateful. From this point of view, is Zeng Guofan better? ? How many people can empathize with others?
