The heroes and heroes in "Water Margin" seem to have such a characteristic: when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. Shoot when it's time to make a move, which can't be done without enough courage and courage. Some people have a habitual misconception that a bold person must be a man with a big waist and a rough appearance. In fact, courage is a combination of courage, mentality, and wisdom, so even a woman with a delicate appearance is not lacking in courage, and in some specific situations she may be more courageous than a man.

Let's look at the example of a wise and resourceful woman:

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao Rebellion was huge, and soon entered Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty regime was in danger. Li Keyong of the Shatuo army was blind in one eye, and was called the "one-eyed dragon" at the time.

Together with his father Zhu Xie Chixin (because of his contribution to suppressing the uprising, he was given the surname Li and the name Guochang) participated in the suppression of the Huangchao Uprising. In 884 AD, he led his army across the river and defeated the Huangchao army in Zhongmu (now Zhongmu, Henan), causing the rebel army to collapse. Later, he seized Hedong for a long time and confronted Zhu Quanzhong, who occupied Bianzhou (now Kaifeng City, Henan), and fought for many years. After his death, his son Li Cunqiao built the Later Tang Dynasty and respected him as Taizu. Li Keyong's wife, Liu, is a wise and resourceful heroine, and it can be said that Li Keyong's success is due to the help of his wife Liu.

Li Keyong was ordered to lead an army to defeat the rebels in order to save the princes of the Eastern Road. Just as Li Keyong was ready to go, Zhu Quanzhong and Yang Yanhong conspired together to attack Li Keyong. Li Keyong was caught off guard, and without a hard fight, he fled in a panic, not angry in his heart, and went crazy with anger. Zhu Quanzhong was very cunning (the founder of Houliang), and when he saw that Li Keyong had escaped and failed to succeed in murder, he had an idea and shot Yang Yanhong to death, covering up his eyes and ears and hiding his true face of rebellion. But Li Keyong did not change his opinion, he cursed Zhu Quanzhong as he fled, and vowed to kill Zhu Quanzhong himself.

Some of Li Keyong's subordinates fled back and reported to Li Keyong's wife, Mrs. Liu. Madame Liu was shocked when she heard this, but she was very calm on the surface, her expression was unmoving, as if nothing had happened, and ordered that the person who reported Zhu Quanzhong's rebellion be immediately beheaded. She thought that if more people knew about this, there would definitely be chaos in the house, and maybe there would be people who would respond to the rebellion. In that case, the situation will be worse and the situation will not be managed. Therefore, he must not panic, he must not lose confidence and self-control, and at the same time he must block the news, and he must keep the original quiet in the house, and the person who reported the news is the source of information, and of course he should be killed. Soon, Lick returned in a furious rage. Mrs. Liu remained calm. Li Keyong vowed to concentrate his forces and crusade against Zhu Quanzhong to relieve his hatred. However, Mrs. Liu disagreed, she said: "You led the army to rebel this time to seek thieves for the country, to save the urgent needs of the princes of the East Road, not for your personal grudges. Now, Zhu Quanzhong, a native of Bianzhou, has rebelled and wants to murder you, of course you are very angry, and I am also very angry. I also think he should be killed. However, if you really lead your troops to attack him, your mission will not be completed, and the nature of the matter will also be changed, and the major affairs of the state will be turned into small personal grudges. In my opinion, you should appeal to the imperial court about Zhu Quanzhong's rebellion. The imperial court raised troops to fight against him. Wouldn't it be better? Li Keyong listened to his wife's words, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he listened to his wife's advice and stopped forming troops to attack Zhu Quanzhong. But he still wrote a letter to Zhu Quanzhong, reproaching him for plotting to change. But Zhu Quanzhong replied: I didn't know about the eve of the change, and the imperial court had sent an envoy to conspire with Yang Yanhong, and he must have plotted against him and launched a mutiny. Now, Yang Yanhong has surrendered to the law, and he is innocent of death, please forgive me. "Passing the buck to the rest of the world.

Mrs. Liu's handling of this matter is very measured, modest, reasonable, focusing on the overall situation, taking action when it is time to act, being decisive and adapting, calm and not panicking, which can be described as a model of boldness and carefulness and rational work. There must be a shrewd woman behind a successful man, if Li Keyong doesn't listen to Mrs. Liu's words, or Mrs. Liu has the courage and unplanned, and the result will be, who wins and who loses, and who is who is not, it is really difficult to say.

Strike when it's time to strike, don't play your right hand when it's time to make your left hand, without this courage and wisdom, you can't do great things.
