It's night, the study of the ghost valley. There is an oil lamp on the low table in the grotto www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, the master and apprentice sit separately, the old man holds a volume of "Guiguzi", and says to Li Chengyan in front of him: "The way of strategy is the art of Guiguzi known as the ancient trick. Guiguzi said that the way of yin and yang is the fundamental truth of all things, and the key to solving all things in heaven and earth. The so-called way of yin and yang is to look at problems from the perspective of change and dynamics, and grasp the law of the development of things. In Guiguzi's view, the way of the king and the plan for the general are first of all speculation on people and things. For people, it is necessary to figure out the wisdom and talent of the other party, measure the strength of the other party, and estimate the momentum of the other party. ”
Li Chengyan pondered carefully: "Master is saying that all strategies are always planned first and then strategized, for the king to know people and be good at their duties, consider personal talents, and for generals, give priority to the factors of mountains and rivers, and then formulate strategies?" ”
The old man said: "Confucianism attaches great importance to the morality of management, regards "morality in the way" as the main means of governing the world, and puts forward the concept of "harmony is precious", "rigidity and softness", and "leniency and severity", and they regard "enriching the people" and "reassuring the people" as their own responsibility. Legalism mainly governs with "law", pays attention to "law", "potential", and "art", and has a system for everything. Legalists explicitly agree with the "rule of law" and oppose the "rule of man", and advocate that all current affairs must strictly follow the established laws and regulations. The military family mainly lies in the military, managing strategies, tactics, and strategies. In terms of strategy, the military pays attention to operational planning, emphasizing that managers should judge the situation and have a clear and correct understanding of the external environment and the internal organization, and make judgments and decisions accordingly. In terms of management strategy, Bingjia proposed to "win due to change", emphasizing the factor of "change", requiring managers to respond to various changes in a timely manner, and be able to actively innovate and seek change, always and everywhere to take the initiative, not to be controlled by others. ”
Li Chengyan asked, "What about Zongheng?" ”
The old man asked rhetorically, "What is Zongheng?" ”
Li Chengyan thought for a while and said: "Li Shan said: "Vertical and horizontal, scattered."
The old man nodded and continued: "The east and the west say: horizontal, the north and the south say: vertical, virtue is the fundamental, but relying on virtue and etiquette alone, it is insufficient, the law comes and goes, the destruction of the pre-Qin is not in the military, but in the strict law, the death of the strong man lies in the lack of strict law, there is no law, and the death of the former Sui is mainly due to the excessive prosperity of the army and the excessive conscription."
Speaking of this, a crisp voice came from a distance: "Grandpa, what is wrong with my father?" Li Chengyan followed the prestige, Yang Ting'er stood at the door with red eyes, the old man beckoned to her, and when Yang Ting'er came over and stood still, he hugged him in his arms and said warmly: "Yang Guang has great ambitions, the pace is too fast, and he thinks too much, and the so-called speed is not enough." "For as long as I can remember, my mother fled with me, and then my mother died, so I came here with Grandpa Qingnu" After speaking, Yang Tinger cried again. The old man wiped away Yang Ting'er's tears and said to Yang Ting'er: "Born in the emperor's family, your life is not your own" After speaking, Yang Ting'er waved her hand to Li Chengyan, turned around and entered the bedroom. Li Chengyan wiped Yang Ting'er's tears and said softly to Yang Ting'er: "I didn't expect our Ting'er to be a little princess, and then stood still and gave a knightly salute pretending to be a positive color, and the guard knight Li Chengyan saw Her Royal Highness the Princess." looked at Yang Ting'er's smiling face and said: "The right hand and me, entrust this life, the left hand and me, protect you for a lifetime." The little Yang Ting'er naturally didn't understand what Li Chengyan said again, but looking at Li Chengyan's appraisal look, the few years of outlaw made him feel very relieved and comfortable.
