金庸小說-笑傲江湖-1瞞天過海-成功:

novel - The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Concealing Heaven to cross the Sea - Success:

在「少林寺雙方陣營三連戰」的第二場，任我行對左冷禪。

In the second round of the "Three-match Battle between the Two Camps of Shaolin Temple", Ren Woxing faced Zuo Lengchan. 

左冷禪的取勝之道就是瞞天過海。

Zuo Lengchan's way to victory is to conceal the truth.

首先，任我行不知道左冷禪會什麼樣的內功，

 First of all, Ren Woxing didn't know what kind of internal strength Zuo Lengchan had,

一開始居然「吸星大法」怎麼吸都吸不到內力。

 and at the beginning he couldn't absorb any internal energy with his "Star Absorbing Technique".

 任我行就使出「苦肉計」，故意讓左冷禪對方打中自己。

 Ren Woxing used the "torture myself to lead you to me tactic" and deliberately let Zuo Lengchan's opponent hit him. 

左冷禪卻突然把自己苦練多年的「寒冰真氣」刻意注入給任我行吸收

However, Zuo Lengchan suddenly injected the "Ice Qi" that he had practiced for many years into Ren Woxing's absorption

(一般江湖人士都會把自己苦練多年的功力當作珍貴資產，怎麼肯輕易給其他人?) 

 (generally, people in the martial arts world would regard the skills they have practiced for many years as precious assets, so how could they easily give them to others?). 

因此左冷禪放任任我行吸走功力，且吸收量過度。

Therefore, Zuo Lengchan allowed Ren Woxing to absorb the skills, and the amount absorbed was excessive. 

因此「冰凍」任我行，封住任我行的穴道。導致任我行不得不認輸。

Therefore, he "froze" Ren Woxing and sealed his acupoints. This forced Ren Woxing to admit defeat.

novel - The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Concealing Heaven to cross the Sea - Failed:

武當派的沖虛道長，在武當山腳下與令狐沖比武，

Chongxu, the Taoist priest of Wudang Sect, competed with Linghu Chong at the foot of Wudang Mountain. 

用太極劍畫出一個個圈子，

He used Tai Chi sword to draw circles

把自己劍招的招式之弱點，藏在劍圈的圓心，也是瞞天過海。

and hid the weakness of his sword moves in the center of the sword circle, which was also a way to deceive Heaven to cross the Sea. 

只不過令狐冲心甘情願挺劍前刺，

It's just that Linghu Chong was willing to thrust his sword forward,

即使潛在風險可能是:為任盈盈付出斷掉一條手臂為代價。

even though the potential risk might be: paying the price of losing an arm for Ren Yingying.

從而破解了沖虛道長的劍法。

 Thus, he cracked Taoist Chongxu's swordsmanship ( Chongxu's sword moves ).

 Fool someone and Cross the Sea * part 5

三國時代，諸葛亮五出祁山時，因軍中缺糧，

During the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang went to Qishan for the fifth time, due to the shortage of food in the army, 

只得以瞞天過海之計:裝神退敵，

he had to resort to a strategy of deceiving the enemy: he pretended to be a god to repel the enemy, 

使魏兵誤以為真有鬼神，而不顧防守麥田。

making the Wei soldiers mistakenly believe that there were real ghosts and gods, and they ignored the defense of the wheat fields.

蜀軍得以趁機割麥田。

 The Shu army took the opportunity to harvest the wheat fields.

試看雙方鬥智鬥勇:

Look at the battle of wits and courage between the two sides: 

孔明又令三萬名軍隊士兵，各執鐮刀、馱繩，伺候割麥。

Kong Ming also ordered 30,000 soldiers to hold sickles and sling ropes to help harvest the wheat.

另外再選出二十四個精壯之士，各穿皂衣，披頭散髮仗劍，簇擁四輪車，為推車使者。

In addition, twenty-four strong men were selected, each wearing a black robe, with disheveled hair and holding a sword, to surround the four-wheeled cart and serve as cart pushers. 

命令 關興 綁頭髮，做天蓬模樣，手執七星皂旛，步行於車前。

Kong Ming sat upright, looking towards the Wei camp. 

魏軍哨探軍見之大驚，莫知是人是鬼。

The Wei army scouts were shocked when they saw it, not knowing whether it was a human or a ghost.

…司馬懿不知是人是鬼，又不知蜀兵多少，

太史慈突圍 https://gemini.google.com/share/7713ebafa599

東漢末年發生黃巾之亂，當時將領太史慈，從遼東回來看母親。

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Taishi Ci returned from Liaodong to visit his mother.

結果北海太守孔融，被管亥所率領的黃巾賊兵包圍了，

 As a result, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, was surrounded by the Yellow Turban bandits led by Guan Hai,

一時太史慈出不去。太史慈心想：

 and Taishi Ci was unable to get out for a while.  Taishi Ci thought: 

城外黃巾賊兵多，如果強行突圍，應該是出不出去的。

There are many Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city. If we try to break out by force, we will probably not be able to get out. 

所以他想了一條計策：找幾個士兵，抬著射箭的箭靶。

So he thought of a plan: find a few soldiers to carry targets for archery. 

跟在他後面，自己大搖大擺地走到城門，走了出去。

Following him, he walked to the city gate and walked out.

黃巾賊以為他要強行突圍，紛紛準備截殺他。

The Yellow Turban bandits thought he was trying to break out by force, and prepared to kill him. 

可是沒想到太史慈只是到城外的戰壕，待在壕溝旁邊，練習射箭。

But unexpectedly, Taishi Ci just went to the trench outside the city, stayed beside the trench, and practiced archery.

射箭完就到城裡面休息了。

 After shooting arrows, we went into the city to rest. 

第二天他又這樣操作了一遍，已經有一些黃巾士兵不去注意太史慈。

He repeated the operation the next day, and some Yellow Turban soldiers stopped paying attention to Taishi Ci. 

之後太史慈每天都這樣。

After that, Taishi Ci did this every day. 

隔了一段時間之後，黃巾賊士兵，都以為太史慈就是一個練習射箭的傢伙。

After a while, the Yellow Turban soldiers all thought that Taishi Ci was just a guy who practiced archery. 

等到之後有一次，太史慈到城外練習射箭。

Later one day, Taishi Ci went outside the city to practice archery. 

他發現沒有任何黃巾士兵注意他，他忽然上馬，加快速度衝出城外。

He found that no Yellow Turban soldiers were paying attention to him, so he suddenly mounted his horse and rushed out of the city at a faster speed.

太史慈發揮的關鍵是：『常見則不疑』。

The key to Taishi Ci's performance is: "People will have NO doubt what you have seen often." 

常常看見就不會懷疑了。

If you see it often, you won’t doubt it. 

用公開的假象麻痺其他人，黃巾賊士兵就疏忽大意了。

By using the public illusion to lull others into a trance, the Yellow Turban soldiers became careless.

1. 一支業餘的圍城部隊，大約是如何圍城的? 

2. 面對被圍城的防守方，若是需要向外求救，時間要注意甚麼? 

3. 對於各種提議，要如何驗證可行性? 參考:太史慈提議，孔融的回應 

4. 對於各種提議，要如何驗證實踐的時機? 參考:太史慈提議，孔融的回應 

5. 使對手鬆懈的方法，關鍵是甚麼呢? 參考:太史慈對黃巾軍 

1. 一支業餘的圍城部隊，大約是如何圍城的?

只是叫所有的部下，下場去圍困而已。並沒有安排隊形、整理隊伍。設定哪一些十人隊排列、百人隊伍排列且輪班、千人隊伍一邊圍困；由哪一隊千人隊專職負責哪一段城牆、沒有觀察風向、沒有觀察內外、沒有安排斥候。

果然是業餘的圍城部隊，缺乏:同時負責生活所需品與斥候哨探；還要資訊收集；行動判斷；對在地居民喊話；貫徹制度與生活及價值觀；衛生習慣；營地管理:生活區域負責；後勤；生活物資採買；人事制度；管理層級；分層負責；貨幣制度；酬勞制度；賞罰制度；兵器準備；工程器械準備；攻程器械準備；情報蒐集；情報站；情報戰……。

2. 面對被圍城的防守方，若是需要向外求救，時間要注意甚麼? 

如果一開始包圍的不嚴密，馬上就要向外求救。開始在包圍越來越嚴密的時候，就要挑選武力值高強的武將。分成兩支部隊或三支部隊，有一支佯裝往外攻擊，分散對手的注意力。另外一支部隊，從現在防守薄弱的地方，殺出去。或者是第一支誘惑部隊，把別人的部隊調動了之後，讓包圍的人集中在特定的地方，然後再殺出去。比方說:先準備三支部隊，第一次是為試探，第二次伺機而動。

3. 對於各種提議，要如何驗證可行性? 參考:太史慈提議，孔融的回應 

不是憑著自己的害怕，就放棄突圍或總攻擊。應該先測試，對方各處兵力的虛實，開始試的時候派出武裝部隊，做一個快速測試。發現有用之後，就可以伺機打出去或突圍出去，而不是只聽之前別人的意見，覺得不行就不行。

4. 對於各種提議，要如何驗證實踐的時機? 參考:太史慈提議，孔融的回應 

派出小股部隊，嘗試。

而不是感到害怕，就不嘗試。

5. 使對手鬆懈的方法，關鍵是甚麼呢? 參考:太史慈對黃巾軍 

每天重複做一樣的事情，讓對手錯誤的判斷，我方真正的意圖、我方出手的時間。

✉️ Story 12 : Taishi Ci's Breakthrough

During the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. General Taishi Ci was returning from Liaodong to visit his mother. However, the governor of Beihai, Kong Rong, was surrounded by Yellow Turban rebels led by Guan Hai, and Taishi Ci was unable to escape. Taishi Ci thought: "There are too many Yellow Turban rebels outside the city; if I force my way out, I won't succeed." So he devised a plan: he found a few soldiers to carry an archery target. They followed him, and he swaggered to the city gate and walked out.

The Yellow Turban rebels, thinking he was trying to break out, prepared to intercept and kill him. But Taishi Ci simply went to the trenches outside the city, stayed by the moat, and practiced archery. After practicing, he went back into the city to rest. He did the same thing the next day, and some Yellow Turban soldiers stopped paying attention to him. Taishi Ci did this every day afterward. After some time, the Yellow Turban soldiers all assumed Taishi Ci was just a fellow archer practicing. Then one day, Taishi Ci went outside the city to practice archery. Finding no Yellow Turban soldiers paying him any attention, he suddenly mounted his horse and galloped out of the city.

The key to Taishi Ci's success was: "What is commonplace is not suspected." What is frequently seen will not be doubted. By using this public deception to lull others into a false sense of security, the Yellow Turban soldiers became careless.

1. How would an amateur siege force typically besiege a city?

2. When facing a besieged defender, what timing is crucial when requesting reinforcements?

3. How can the feasibility of various proposals be verified? (Reference: Taishi Ci's proposal and Kong Rong's response)

4. How can the timing of implementing various proposals be verified? (Reference: Taishi Ci's proposal and Kong Rong's response)

5. What is the key to making the enemy complacent? (Reference: Taishi Ci's strategy against the Yellow Turban Army)

1. How would an amateur siege force typically besiege a city?

They simply ordered all their men to besiege the city. There was no formation, no organization of the troops. They didn't assign specific units of ten men, one hundred men in shifts, or one thousand men to each section of the wall; they didn't observe wind direction, monitor the interior and exterior, or prepare for defense.

As expected, this was an amateur siege force, lacking in: the ability to simultaneously manage supplies and scouts; information gathering; decision-making; communication with local residents; implementation of rules, lifestyle, and values; hygiene; camp management (including responsibility for living areas); logistics; procurement of supplies; personnel systems; management hierarchy; tiered responsibility; currency system; reward system; reward and punishment system; weapon preparation; engineering equipment preparation; siege weapon preparation; intelligence gathering; intelligence stations; intelligence warfare…

2. When facing a besieged defender, what timing is crucial when requesting reinforcements?

If the initial siege is not tight, request reinforcements immediately. As the siege tightens, select highly skilled generals. Divide the forces into two or three units. One unit feigns an attack to distract the enemy. Another unit breaks out from the weakest point in the defenses. Alternatively, use the first decoy unit to lure the enemy forces away, concentrating them in a specific area before launching an attack. For example: Prepare three troops first. The first is for probing, the second for seizing the opportunity.

3. How to verify the feasibility of various proposals? Reference: Taishi Ci's proposal, Kong Rong's response

Don't abandon a breakout or all-out attack based on fear. First, test the strength and weakness of the enemy's forces in various locations. Send out armed troops for a quick test. If it proves useful, then seize the opportunity to attack or break out, instead of just listening to others' opinions and thinking it won't work.

4. How to verify the timing of implementing various proposals? Reference: Taishi Ci's proposal, Kong Rong's response

Send out small units to try it.

Don't avoid trying because of fear.

5. What is the key to making the enemy complacent? Reference: Taishi Ci's approach to the Yellow Turban Army

Do the same thing repeatedly every day, causing the enemy to misjudge your true intentions and the timing of your attack.

 M. Strategy 1: 瞞天過海  * part 3

 Fool someone and Cross the Sea * part 3

聰明少年曹阿瞞    https://gemini.google.com/share/2926fc1aa7e5

曹操欺騙叔父與父親

曹操年幼時，喜好游獵，喜歡歌舞；腦子想法有權謀，生活事件多機巧應變。曹操的叔父，看見曹操一直游蕩、不務正業，就很生氣。因此告訴曹嵩。曹嵩知道了以後，就罵曹操。曹操不想被罵，忽然想出一個辦法：遠遠的看見叔父走過來，就假裝暈倒在地上，作出好像中風的樣子。叔父嚇到了，就告訴曹嵩:曹操暈倒了，曹嵩很緊急的察看，結果曹操根本沒事。從此以後，父親曹嵩就只相信曹操，不相信叔父。因為這樣，曹操就可以隨便亂玩。

When Cao Cao was young, he loved hunting and dancing; he was cunning and resourceful, and adept at handling life's challenges. Cao Cao's uncle, seeing him constantly wandering and neglecting his duties, became angry and told Cao Song. Cao Song, upon learning this, scolded Cao Cao. Not wanting to be scolded, Cao Cao devised a plan: seeing his uncle approaching from afar, he pretended to faint, acting as if he had suffered a stroke. His uncle, frightened, told Cao Song that Cao Cao had fainted. Cao Song rushed to check on him, only to find Cao Cao was perfectly fine.

1.曹操的叔父，為什麼會不被信任？ 

因為被曹操算計，因為曹操騙人，因為曹操他欺騙曹操之父，說曹操昏倒了。

因為曹操裝中風。

因為是叔父和曹嵩說曹操中風的。

因為曹操在他爸面前假中風，但沒事，但他叔父跟他爸說他中風了。

曹操父親覺得，曹操叔父在騙。曹操根本沒暈倒。曹嵩以為叔父騙他。

因為曹操之父：曹嵩，覺得他在說謊。曹嵩覺得曹操的叔父騙了他。曹爸爸覺得被騙了。

因為把曹操中風的假訊息講出去，被曹嵩誤以為曹操的叔父在騙人。

因為他說的跟結果不一樣。

曹操的叔父與曹嵩看到的，實際情形不同。

Because he has fallen into Cao Cao"s trick.

2.曹嵩為什麼會被蒙在鼓裡？       

因為曹嵩很緊張，沒時間想太多。

因為他看到的景象，是曹操刻意安排給他看到的。他不知道自己被騙。因為他支持他兒子

沒有人告訴他事實。

曹操沒有如實說:他是裝的。曹嵩不去查證真相。

因為曹操雙面人。因為曹操機智多謀。

因為曹嵩不知道曹操是裝的、曹嵩不知道事情經過、曹嵩沒有仔細求證: 曹操的情況與曹操的叔父形容的不同、曹嵩沒看見現實、曹嵩不了解總情況、曹嵩不信任叔父、曹嵩不關心、因為他信任他兒子、他被曹操騙了、沒仔細觀察、因為被曹操騙了、曹操用裝的、因為他親眼看到曹操中風。

Because Cao Cao doesn’t want to let Cao song know.

3.曹操的叔父與曹嵩，為什麼混亂？  

 遠因: 因為曹操一直遊蕩、不顧正業。

 近因: 因為兩人看到不一樣，因為曹操假裝暈倒，曹操欺騙他們

因為曹嵩看到曹操刻意安排給他看到的景象，就誤以為曹操的叔父，不值得信任。曹操的情況與曹操叔父形容的樣子，不同，雙方看見的都不相同。因為曹操假中風。曹嵩不信任曹操的叔父，雙方都被對方誤會。因為曹操假裝中風，讓曹嵩與叔父都很擔心。因為父親到現場時曹操就起身了。

 關鍵: 曹操的叔父與曹嵩，受曹操算計、中曹操的計謀、被騙，情況很緊急；且兩人都沒有做雙向確認。

 遠端聯想:因為曹操想當王。

Because he thought Cao Cao has feinted。

4.曹嵩為什麼，不能識破這個騙局？ 

因為他沒有料想到：時間、地點、情境，都是被曹操所設計過的。

因為他不知道真相。不知事情經過。曹操的情況與曹操的叔父所描述的不同。

因為曹操是他兒子，他太愛曹操了、太相信曹操了。因為他信任他兒子，他覺得:曹操所說的事情，都是真的，很信任曹操，不去確認真實性，就被騙了。所以導致:不信任叔父。因為曹操是雙面人，曹嵩不知道事情原委，他只知道曹操中風而已，沒有雙向確認。沒去詢問曹操叔父。

這真是:不聰明啊！但是，深愛著，外人，又能怎麼樣呢?

Because he didn’t see the real thing that happened.

5.職場如果遇到曹操，妳/你，身份類似於曹操的叔父，會怎麼做？  

安排雙重確認，先確認第一次，再確認第二次。

如果是上司，就開除他。

也可以:不理他，盡量的遠離他。

如果他掌管一個公司，離開公司；如果他掌管一個國家，離開國家。

如果有法律、有司法系統，就尋找證據、找出證據、拿出證據。為自己澄清。

如果法律不彰，就不去招惹他。

有用的話就:解釋；沒有用就:放棄掙扎。

有用的話就: 跟曹操解釋解釋、或用提醒，暗地裡講清楚；再遠離他；沒有用就:放棄掙扎。

跟自己沒有關係的話，對他放任。不管、視而不見。不管他:怕惹事

想要大幹一場！就:跟他一樣。

I will check the evidence

6.職場如果遇到曹操，妳/你，身份類似於曹嵩，會怎麼做？

另外安排情境，反過來測試曹操。

如果是上司，就開除他。也可以:告訴曹操他哪裡錯。

如果有法律、有司法系統，就:找證據、尋找證據、詢問關於這件事有關人員事情的真相且積極勸說、了解事情、先判斷、問事情經過、了解事情經過、認真一點、不盲目相信別人，要找出真相、著重培養

沒有用就:離職、不理他、不管他、遠離他。

I will prove that I am clean.

7.職場如果遇到曹操，妳/你，身份類似於家族長輩，會怎麼做？ 

先是:仔細詢問；如果卡住了，就用曹操心愛的利益，來誘使曹操顯露出自己真正的意圖。

若是還有希望、叫他不要這麼做了。先判斷是非。

若是無希望:不理他、不管他、不管。

想要大幹一場！就:叫他當間諜。

I will try to talk sense into them.

8.職場如果遇到曹操，妳/你，身份類似於鄰居，會怎麼做？   

如果曹操勢力很小，不關我的事；如果曹操勢力很大，就設計以利益誘之，使曹操露出本來面目，再使曹操的叔父與曹嵩到場，看見真相。告訴曹嵩真相。

若是還有希望: 提醒他、幫叔父講話、呼叫:心靈的救護車。當好人、

若是無希望:開除他、遠離他、袖手旁觀、不理他、盡量避開他、不管他因為怕惹事；待在家裡別跟這種人待再一起。

I will try to check different points of view.

• 雙語故事

1. Why was Cao Cao's uncle not trusted?

Because he was schemed against by Cao Cao, because Cao Cao lied, because Cao Cao lied to Cao Cao's father, saying that Cao Cao had fainted. Because Cao Cao faked a stroke.

Because it was his uncle and Cao Song who told him Cao Cao had a stroke.

Because Cao Cao faked a stroke in front of his father, but was fine, but his uncle told his father that he had a stroke.

Cao Cao's father felt that Cao Cao's uncle was lying. Cao Cao hadn't fainted at all. Cao Song thought his uncle was lying to him.

Because Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, felt that he was lying. Cao Song felt deceived by Cao Cao's uncle. Cao's father felt cheated.

Because he spread the false news that Cao Cao had suffered a stroke, Cao Song mistakenly believed that Cao Cao's uncle was lying.

Because what he said was different from the actual situation.

The reality was different for Cao Cao's uncle and Cao Song.

Because he has fallen into Cao Cao's trick.

2. Why was Cao Song kept in the dark?

Because Cao Song was nervous and didn't have time to think too much.

Because the scene he saw was deliberately arranged for him by Cao Cao. He didn't know he was being deceived. Because he supported his son.

No one told him the truth.

Cao Cao didn't tell the truth: he was faking it. Cao Song didn't investigate the truth.

Because Cao Cao was two-faced. Because Cao Cao was cunning and resourceful.

Because Cao Song didn't know Cao Cao was faking it, Cao Song didn't know the details, Cao Song didn't carefully verify: Cao Cao's situation differed from Cao Cao's uncle's description, Cao Song didn't see reality, Cao Song didn't understand the overall situation, Cao Song didn't trust his uncle, Cao Song didn't care because he trusted his son, he was deceived by Cao Cao, didn't observe carefully, because he was deceived by Cao Cao, Cao Cao was faking it, because he personally witnessed Cao Cao's stroke.

Because Cao Cao doesn't want to let Cao Song know.

3. Why was there confusion between Cao Cao's uncle and Cao Song?

 Remote cause: Because Cao Cao was constantly wandering and neglecting his duties.

 Proximal Cause: Because the two saw different things; because Cao Cao feigned fainting; Cao Cao deceived them.

Because Cao Song saw the scene Cao Cao deliberately arranged for him, he mistakenly believed Cao Cao's uncle was untrustworthy. Cao Cao's condition differed from his uncle's description; both saw different things. Because Cao Cao faked a stroke. Cao Song didn't trust Cao Cao's uncle; both were misunderstood by the other. Because Cao Cao faked a stroke, both Cao Song and his uncle were very worried. Because Cao Cao got up when his father arrived.

 Key: Cao Cao's uncle and Cao Song were manipulated by Cao Cao, fell into his trap, and were deceived; the situation was urgent; and neither of them confirmed the truth with each other.

 Distant Association: Because Cao Cao wanted to become king.

Because he thought Cao Cao had feinted.

4. Why couldn't Cao Song see through this deception? Because he didn't realize that the time, place, and situation were all orchestrated by Cao Cao.

Because he didn't know the truth. He didn't know the details. Cao Cao's situation differed from what Cao Cao's uncle described.

Because Cao Cao was his son, he loved him too much and trusted him too much. Because he trusted his son, he felt that what Cao Cao said was true, and without verifying the truth, he was deceived. Therefore, he didn't trust his uncle. Because Cao Cao was two-faced, Cao Song didn't know the full story; he only knew that Cao Cao had suffered a stroke, without verifying either side's claims. He didn't ask Cao Cao's uncle.

This is truly unwise! But, what can an outsider do when you love someone so deeply?

5. If you encountered Cao Cao in the workplace, and your role was similar to Cao Cao's uncle, what would you do? Arrange for double confirmation: confirm once, then confirm a second time.

If he's your boss, fire him.

Alternatively: ignore him and stay as far away from him as possible. If he runs a company, leave the company; if he runs a country, leave the country.

If there are laws and a judicial system, find evidence, discover evidence, and present evidence. Clear your name.

If the law is ineffective, don't provoke him.

If it works: explain; if it doesn't: give up the struggle.

If it works: explain to Cao Cao, or subtly remind him; then stay away from him; if it doesn't work: give up the struggle.

If it has nothing to do with you, let him be. Ignore him, turn a blind eye. Ignore him: afraid of causing trouble.

Want to make a big splash! Then: be like him.

I will check the Evidence

6. If you encountered Cao Cao in the workplace, and your position was similar to Cao Song's, what would you do?

Create a different scenario to test Cao Cao from the other side.

If you were his superior, fire him. Alternatively, tell Cao Cao where he went wrong.

If there were laws or a judicial system, find evidence, investigate the truth by questioning relevant personnel, actively persuade them, understand the situation, make a judgment, ask about the events, understand the process, be serious, don't blindly trust others, find the truth, and focus on cultivating relationships.

If that doesn't work, resign, ignore him, don't interfere, stay away from him.

I will prove that I am clean.

7. If you encountered Cao Cao in the workplace, and your position was similar to a family elder, what would you do?

First, carefully inquire; if you get stuck, use Cao Cao's cherished interests to induce him to reveal his true intentions.

If there's still hope, tell him not to do it. First, judge right and wrong.

If there's no hope: ignore him, don't interfere, don't interfere.

Want to make a big splash! Ask him to be a spy.

I will I'd really like to talk sense into them.

8. If you encountered Cao Cao in the workplace, and your position was similar to that of a neighbor, what would you do?

If Cao Cao's power is small, it's none of my business; if Cao Cao's power is large, I would devise a plan to lure him with benefits, causing him to reveal his true colors, and then have Cao Cao's uncle and Cao Song present so they could witness the truth. I would then tell Cao Song the truth.

If there is still hope: I would remind him, speak up for his uncle, and call for help. I would act as a good person.

If there is no hope: I would fire him, stay away from him, stand by, ignore him, avoid him as much as possible, and not bother with him for fear of causing trouble; I would stay at home and not associate with such a person anymore.

I will really check different points of view.

M. Strategy 1: 瞞天過海 part 2 典故 Allusion: Fool someone and Cross the Sea

M.  Strategy 1: 瞞天過海 * part 2

 Fool someone and Cross the Sea * part 2

典故:

唐太宗貞觀十七年，李世民御駕親征，領三十萬大軍親征高麗國。

Allusion:

 In the 17th year of Emperor Taizong of Tang’s Zhenguan reign, Li Shimin personally led an army of 300,000 to attack the Kingdom of Goryeo.

一日，浩蕩大軍東進來到大海邊，李世民見眼前只是海浪排空，海一片白茫茫的無窮無盡。

One day, the mighty army marched eastward and arrived at the seashore. Li Shimin saw nothing but waves in front of him, and the sea was endless and white.

李世民有些害怕，可能會遇到海難，所以不敢冒險出海。

 Li Shimin was a little afraid that he might encounter a shipwreck, so he did not dare to risk going out to sea.

李世民問群臣有無辦法。其中一名大將軍:薜仁貴，想出一個方法。

Li Shimin asked his ministers if they had any solution. One of the generals, Xie Rengui, came up with a solution. 

薜仁貴先請李世民在旁等候。然後薜仁貴在李世民沒有看到現場的時候，做出布置。

Xie Rengui first asked Li Shimin to wait by the side. Then Xie Rengui made arrangements when Li Shimin was not seeing the scene.

接著把唐太宗李世民引到早已布置得跟小型集市一樣熱鬧的大船內部。

Then Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was led to the interior of the ship, which had already been decorated to be as lively as a small market.

過程中，李世民沒有看到外面，就沒有看到海。

 During the process, Li Shimin did not see the outside, nor did he see the sea. 

等到唐太宗發現真相時，船已平安渡過了大海。

By the time Emperor Taizong of Tang discovered the truth, the ship had already safely crossed the sea. 

這裡的「天」其實指的是天子的意思，

The "天" here actually refers to the emperor, 

說的是:薜仁貴隱瞞著天子，並把他平安渡過了海。

which means: Xie Rengui concealed the emperor and brought him across the sea safely. 

以後人們便把此計謀用於戰事策略中。

Later, people used this strategy in war strategies.

M. Strategy 1: 瞞天過海 part 1 解釋 Explanation: Fool someone and Cross the Sea

M. Strategy 1: 瞞天過海  * part 1

Fool someone and Cross the Sea * part 1

備周則意怠，常見則不疑。陰在陽之內，不在陽之對。太陽，太陰。

If you are well prepared, you will be lazy; if you see it often, you will not doubt it. Yin is within Yang, not opposite to Yang. Sun, Moon.

(兩說並陳: 陰在陽之內，不在陽之外；陰在陽之內，不在陽之對)

(Both theories are presented: Yin is within Yang, not outside Yang; Yin is within Yang, not opposite to Yang)

內與對，音律比較順；內與外，意義有對比。讀者自行取用即可。

Inside and opposite, the rhythm is relatively smooth; inside and outside, the meaning is contrasting. Readers can use it at their own convenience.

解釋：防備周密，往往容易導致思想麻痺，意志鬆懈；

Explanation: Being too cautious can often lead to mental paralysis and slackness of will. 

常見的事情，正常人就不會產生疑惑（以致喪失警惕）、不會防備。

For common things, normal people will not have doubts (and thus lose their vigilance) or be on guard. 

因此或許敵對勢力的秘謀，就隱藏在公開的行動之中，並不是與公開行動相對立的。

Therefore, perhaps the secret plot of the hostile forces is hidden in the open actions, not opposed to open actions. 

最公開的行動當中往往隱藏著最秘密的計謀。

The most secret plots are often hidden in the most open actions.

太陽，太陰：太，極，極大。此句意指:非常公開的事物裡，往往蘊藏著非常機密的計謀。

Sun, Moon: Tai, extreme, extremely large. This sentence means: Very public things often contain very confidential strategies.

陰謀作為，不能背於秘處行之。

Conspiracies cannot be carried out in secret. 

夜半行竊，僻巷殺人，愚俗之行，非謀士之所為也。

Stealing in the middle of the night and killing people in a secluded alley are the actions of a foolish and vulgar person and are not what a wise man would do. 

真正的謀士在謀事，明明白白地做，卻能夠達到預期的效果。

A true strategist plans things clearly and does them clearly, and yet he is able to achieve the desired results. 

半夜深夜趁別人看不見偷東西，黑黑的巷子裡偷殺人；只是愚蠢的、庸俗的行為，

Stealing things in the middle of the night when no one is looking and killing people in a dark alley are just stupid and vulgar behaviors, 

並不是真正的謀士所為；亦不是高明的謀事作為。

, not what a true strategist does; nor are they smart strategies.
