allusion

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Xinpi who was very talented. He went to Yuan Shao with his brother Xinping. At that time, there were serious separatist regimes among the local powers, and wars continued year after year. One time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought in the Guandu battle. As a result, Yuan Shao was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Within a few days, Yuan Shao died because of his anger. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's two sons, fought each other for their rights. In order to defeat yuan Shang, Yuan Tan wanted to join Cao Cao. So he sent SimpI to visit Cao Cao. When Xinpi saw Cao Cao and explained his intention to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very happy and agreed to send troops to help him, but in fact, Cao Cao thought to himself, "now the two brothers of yuan family are fighting against each other. I don't need to send troops. I just wait for them to lose both sides, and then I can take advantage of them." Therefore, although Cao Cao promised, he did not take any action after several days. Seeing this, Xinpi was very worried. He knew what Cao Cao thought, but he couldn't talk to Cao Cao directly. So he deliberately said to Guo Jia, Cao Cao's counselor, "Cao Cao is really short-sighted. He only wants to wait for the yuan brothers to win after they are both defeated. But why don't you think about it? After all, the yuan brothers are a family. If they wake up and the two brothers unite, it will be very difficult for Cao Cao Cao to defeat them again." Guo Jia heard that Xinpi was right, so he immediately told Cao Cao what Xinpi said. Cao Cao heard that Xinpi was right, so he called Xinpi and asked, "is Yuan Tan trustworthy? Can we unite to defeat yuan Shang? " After hearing this, Xinpi said to Cao Cao, "in fact, it has nothing to do with the fact that Yuan Tan is not trustworthy. Now their brothers are exhausted and have no power. It's easy for you to control Yuan Tan and defeat yuan Shang. It's as easy for you to attack yuan Shang as autumn wind sweeps leaves. If you miss this opportunity, it's too late to regret Ah After listening to Xinpi's words, Cao Cao nodded and immediately agreed to send troops to rescue him. Later, Xinpi took refuge with Cao Cao and gained Cao Cao's important position. The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves. It refers to a powerful force that quickly and easily sweeps away decadent things. Lei Feng's famous saying: treat comrades as warm as spring, treat work as hot as summer, treat individualism as the autumn wind sweeps leaves, and treat enemies as ruthless as winter.
