Chapter Ninety-Six: Terrain

After returning to Jiangfu, Jiang Yuetang took a hot bath soaked in orange peel, lavender, honeysuckle and roses, and after changing a set of clothes, she went to the study to listen to Shangguan Che's lecture refreshingly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Today is going to talk about the art of war, and she is very much looking forward to it.

After she sat down, Shangguan Che said: "The art of war refers to the method of fighting with soldiers, teaching people how to use tactics, how to attack and defend, and how to fight. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored, and the importance of the art of war to a country is explained. It can be seen that the way of using soldiers is headed by calculations, and the so-called 'soldiers are not tired of cheating' is also the same truth.

The Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles divides the military into four categories: the strategist, the situationist, the yin and yang strategist, and the skill, and the first-class art of war can integrate these four categories.

Soldiers are cunning, so they often win battles. Now, let's learn how to win the battle. ā€

The little one immediately listened.

Sun Wu said: Those who do not know the shape of mountains and forests, dangers, and frustration cannot march. That is, before marching and fighting, we should first understand the enemy's terrain and the route of our army's march.

The terrain is divided into types such as 'pass', 'hanging', 'branch', 'pass', 'dangerous', and 'far'. Shangguan Che took out paper and pen as he spoke, drew a picture on it, and explained to Jiang Yuetang while drawing.

"Any terrain where the enemy and us can come and go unhindered is called 'Tongxing', and if you want to fight in an area of 'Tongxing', you should occupy a high and sunny position in advance, and keep the grain route open. Shangguan Che said as he drew the corresponding topographic map on the paper and told Jiang Yuetang how to dig the grain road.

"If the terrain can only be reached but it is not easy to return, we call it 'hanging', and if you fight in the 'hanging' area, if the enemy is unprepared, it is advisable to attack immediately. If the enemy is on guard, it is not advisable to attack. The latter situation is very unfavorable to our army. ā€

Shangguan Che continued to draw a topographical map.

Jiang Yuetang asked: "Teacher, if it is the latter case, can you only sit and wait for death?"

Shangguan Che nodded and said, "I'm afraid we can only sit back and wait or surrender, so once we find that the terrain is in a 'hanging' area and the enemy army is already prepared, it is best for our army not to attack rashly." ā€

Jiang Yuetang nodded.

Shangguan Che continued: "The terrain that is not conducive to the attack of both sides is called 'branch', and at this time, no matter how the enemy lure/lures, our army should not attack. The best thing to do is to pretend to retreat and let them come after us. When they are halfway through the pursuit, our army suddenly counterattacks, and it will be easier to win. ā€

"Uh-huh. ā€

"The 'pass-shaped' area refers to the low-lying area between the two mountains, and the terrain is generally relatively narrow, which is not conducive to combat. At this time, if our army occupies the pass first, it can be blocked with heavy troops to resist the invasion of the enemy; if the enemy army occupies the pass first and uses heavy troops to defend it, it is not appropriate to attack. However, if the opponent does not defend with heavy troops, but with ordinary and small soldiers, he can lead his troops to attack quickly. ā€

"Understood. ā€

"Judging from the combat strategies of these terrains, have you summed up any rules?" Shangguan Che asked with a smile.

"Whenever the terrain is favorable for us to attack, we must attack quickly. The little one replied.

"That's right, a soldier is fast, so every stormtrooper should be trained in speed. ā€

"Uh-huh. ā€

"Areas where the terrain is difficult and unfavorable for combat are called 'dangerous shapes'. If our army occupies it first, we should immediately control the open and sunny place first, so as to seize the advantage of the terrain. If the enemy occupies the army first, it should immediately lead the troops to withdraw, and it is not appropriate to attack.

'Far form' refers to the terrain that is too far apart between the two armies and cannot be reached, such as the middle of the river, the sea, the cliffs, etc., and it is not suitable to rush into battle at this time, otherwise it is easy to be in vain. ā€

The little one nodded.

Shangguan Che drew a piece of terrain full of paper, asked her to name and feature each terrain, and analyzed which terrain was suitable for attacking and which was not suitable for attacking.

The little one then pointed to the terrain and replied one by one.

Not only did she answer correctly, but she also analyzed it very clearly and thoroughly, and Shangguan Che was very satisfied.

After a short break, Shangguan Che continued to lecture.

"We've just talked about the terrain, and now we're talking about the types of land (from where the soldiers are fighting). We all know that what soldiers fight for is nothing more than land, so we must understand the types of land. From the soldier's point of view, there are nine types of land -- land contention, heavy land, scattered land, light land, handover land, Qu land, enclosed land, enclosed land, and dead land.

Regardless of whether the enemy army or our army, who has fought for a dangerous place that is beneficial to whom is called 'fighting for land'.

It penetrates deep into the inner part of the enemy's territory, and there are many enemy cities behind it as 'important lands'.

The place where soldiers tend to flee in all directions during battle is called 'scattered land'.

If you enter the enemy's borders to fight, but have not yet penetrated deep into the enemy's interior, this kind of land is called 'light land'.

The flat area where the two armies can come and go smoothly is called the 'handover'.

At the same time, it borders several countries, and whoever occupies it first can make friends with these countries and receive assistance from them.

Mountains, forests, cliffs, rivers and seas, swamps and other places that are not easy to move forward are called 'enclosures'.

It is difficult to advance and retreat, and it is easy for the enemy to 'encircle' the place where a few soldiers can defeat it.

A place where you can survive if you attack quickly is what you can do, and a place that will be wiped out if you don't attack quickly is called a 'dead land'. ā€

Shangguan Che is still explaining while drawing.

The more Jiang Yuetang listened, the more fascinated she became, and finally she lay most of her body on the table.

Shangguan Che smiled and stretched out his hand to scoop her up, then scooped her into his arms, and said softly: "You have been busy all day today, and the teacher won't talk much tonight, so you should rest early." ā€

"Good. The little one nodded obediently.

Shangguan Che touched her head again and said, "Does everything you saw at the autopsy site make you feel scared when you think about it?"

The little guy thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes, but I know it's for the sake of judging the case, so I won't think about it." ā€

"Do you feel cruel?" Shangguan Che asked after hesitating. He still worries that those scenes will cast a shadow on her psyche.

The little guy shook his head and said seriously: "This is not called cruelty, if someone deliberately kills someone because of grievances and hatred, it is called cruelty." ā€

Shangguan Che sighed with emotion: "It's relieved that you can think of the teacher like this." ā€

"I don't blame the teacher. The little guy snuggled into Shangguan Che's arms and said.

Shangguan Che breathed a long sigh of relief and kissed her sideburns with a smile.
