A person who is good at strategy mainly focuses on a strategy. The meaning of scheming refers to a person's ability to achieve their goals according to their plan. Schemes can actually be divided into positive schemes and negative schemes. Positive schemes are when a person achieves their goals openly in front of others, without secretly scheming or bothering others. Compared to scheming, positive schemes seem to be a ( - praise word), but in fact, it is not the case, just like buying discounted clothes in the market, which certainly won't be the cost price, but we still buy it. This is what is known as positive schemes.
There were some schemes in the past that people might find admirable, they might be negative schemes, or they might be positive schemes. Regardless of which one, my task is to make positive schemes seem more dangerous, positive schemes are when you know there is a pit ahead, but you refuse to step over it, then borrow some positive schemes to look at, let's give some examples of positive schemes.
One is the decree of return, in the past, the kings and dukes would just let their eldest son inherit their current territory if they wanted to. Liu Che, in order to strengthen his central position, he began to weaken some local powers, but if he acted rashly like that, he would certainly provoke dissatisfaction from the surrounding areas, so he came up with the decree of return. After the implementation of this system, the land would be given to the sons of the feudal lords, and if any king or duke refused to divide their land, they would certainly be monitored by the court. If they divided their land, their own power would be weakened, and in the end, only the court would be the largest.

The second is the story of saving Zhao with Wei, we don't need to say too much about this familiar story, it's about sacrificing other rights to protect what you want to protect most.
Another is the killing of three with two peaches, Gongsun Ji, Kui and Gao Ji were the three most powerful generals of Qi Jing Gong, Qi Jing Gong had no way to deal with them, so Yan Ping Zhong said this method: he ate two peaches from the peach trees among the three most meritorious people.
They all didn't regard Qi Jing Gong as a real person, when they received the peaches, as long as Kui and Gongsun Ji were at home, so they ate the peaches, and when Gao Ji knew about it, he was very resentful and killed himself. Kui and Gongsun Ji didn't realize that Gao Ji would kill himself, they thought their achievements were not as good as others, so they killed themselves. Yan Ping Zhong used this method to regain the military power, which is very impressive.

This kind of scheming is called positive schemes, and this scheming is really powerful and difficult to guard against.
