Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Su was undoubtedly the one with the highest EQ.
In terms of ingenuity, Lu Su is far behind Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia. If smart, Lu Su is far less than Zhou Yu; If the theory of perseverance, Lu Su is far less than Sima Yi; Lu Su is far less sophisticated than Lu Xun and Jia Xu.
if you want to talk about courage, compared with the three big boss, Lu Su is far behind.
But from a historical perspective, Lu Su can get along quite well in any time and anywhere.
If the people of the Three Kingdoms are put into modern society, Lu Su can become an official in the Ministry of State, a billionaire in business, and a world-renowned friend. Everyone else will encounter great setbacks, and only Lu Su can make both ends meet and prosper.
Never underestimate Lu Su, thinking that he is a nice guy and a loser, which is completely wrong. Lu Su has something that others don't have at all.
Let's give some examples to illustrate Lu Su.
first, Zhou Yu borrowed grain
Zhou Yu had been a junior official before following Sun Ce's uprising. He was short of food and grass. Hearing that Lu Su's family was a rich family, he led hundreds of people to visit, hoping to borrow some grain from Lu Su.
let's analyze it. Zhou Yu actually means to force by force. At that time, Zhou Yu's status was not high, and Lu Su had a very background. He was not afraid of Zhou Yu.
so how does Lu su deal with it?
Lu Su's family has two warehouses for storing grain, each with 3, kilogrammes. When Zhou Yu wants to borrow grain, Lu Su points to one of them, so I don't need to borrow it. I'll give it to you.
Let's analyze this matter. Lu Su gave Zhou Yu half of his family's grain, expressing several meanings:
1. I, Lu Su, am not afraid of you;
2. One person and half, neither humble nor supercilious, we are equal;
3. I am willing to associate with you on an equal footing and become friends;
4. I am optimistic about you and willing to support you.
this is the true wise man, who knows what to give up and what to gain. I paid a hoard of food, avoided a conflict, made a friend, helped a hero, and got a lifetime of wealth and stability.
Second, Sun Quan fought against Cao Cao
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and pacified the north, Liu Cong gave in. Cao Cao sent someone to write a book to Sun Quan, claiming to be a teacher of millions, "I want to hunt in Wu with the generals."
the ruling and opposition parties in Dongwu were in a state of panic. Officials are even more panicked, and there are many discussions about whether it is health or war. On the whole, the voice of surrender and begging for peace drowned out the hawk faction.
Sun Quan is also hesitant: if there is a war, Cao Cao is powerful and powerful, and even the ministers in the DPRK do not support it, so there is no chance of winning; If you are in harmony, the inheritance that the father and brother have worked hard for with their blood and lives will be lost once and their prospects will be bleak.
When Lu Su met Sun Quan, he pointed out the essence of the problem: in today's situation, anyone can surrender, but only you, Sun Quan, can never surrender. For example, I, Lu Su, am going to surrender. With my reputation and talent, at least Cao Cao can make me a small official. I, Lu Su, have a wide range of contacts and many friends, and my family is rich, so it is not difficult to get into the position of provincial and ministerial level. And Sun Quan, if you surrender, what do you think Cao Cao will do for you?
The implication is, don't forget what happened after Liu Cong and his mother surrendered to Cao Cao! I'm afraid your Sun Quan will only die.
that is to say, although those surrenders in the DPRK are huge and well-founded, they have been exposed, because they only care about their own wealth and safety, but don't consider your Sun Quan at all!
As we all know, Sun Quan is actually very difficult to serve. His servants are never soft. No matter how much he has done, whether he is a relative or a friend, as long as he is suspicious, he can be ruthless.
But Sun Quan was very kind to Lu Su, and he always trusted him as much as Zhou Yu.
This involves a question of how to get along with superiors and subordinates. For many friends, it is particularly difficult. Let's talk about it.
Actually, in the imperial society, being an official doesn't matter whether it's greed or greed, but it's rape. Harry is guilty, Jiajing does not kill; He Shen is greedy and tolerant. Why? Is Jiajing cherishing Harry's clear name? Is it because you're too lazy to look at it?
No, it's because everything Harry and He Shen say and do is for their own king.
Don't be afraid to say something wrong or do something wrong. As long as you sincerely consider the gains and losses of your superiors, they will be willing to use you, train you, promote you and trust you, and they won't embarrass you.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Chongzhen is the most standard fool, and many people who sincerely defend him are forced to surrender by him. Hanging him deserved it, and he didn't deserve any sympathy.
let's continue to talk about Lu su.
In fact, it is clear to all that there are great contradictions between Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and their views on the political situation and the countermeasures they adopted are completely different.
But on his deathbed, Zhou Yu recommended Sun Quan and asked him to entrust Lu Su with military and political power.
Can it be said that Zhou Yu woke up before he died, and he denied his previous strategic policy? Of course not. If Zhou Yu is alive and smart, he will continue to implement his strategy without hesitation.
So what did Zhou Yu see in Lu Su?
Because Lu Su is a public man and has a big mind, in modern words, the "pattern" is large.
Sun Ce dominated the world in those days, and the world was terrible because of its ferocity; When Zhou Yu was around, Cao Liu was afraid because of his shrewdness; It is because of its pattern that Lu Su was in power and Wei Shu did not commit crimes.
To tell the truth, successive successors of Dongwu after Lu Su, such as Lu Meng and Lu Xun, all had great talents without a general idea, and lacked the pattern of Lu Su.
Lu Su "has the wind of the elderly", and his mind comes from a clear understanding of the general trend of the world and his selfless devotion to state affairs. No matter Shu Han or Cao Wei, almost all people respect his character, recognize his ability and are willing to be Lu Su's friends.
People like Lu Su, if they were in Cao Wei, would not be inferior to Cheng Yu and Xun Yu; if they were in Shu Han, they would be equal to Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng. No matter where he is, Lu Su will never be worse than under Sun Quan.
if Zhuge Liang is put under Cao Cao, will he be able to enjoy it? Can you put Zhou Yu under Liu Bei well? Giving Sima Yi to Sun Quan can save the family?
Lu Su is a real national instrument.
