When Shangguan Che finished talking about this battle and its causes and consequences, Jiang Yuetang was most impressed not by this battle, but by Gongzi Chong'er's nineteen-year fugitive life and the wives he married, as well as his experience of not being courteous during his escape and the process of returning to the Jin Kingdom as the monarch later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In those nineteen years, Chong'er has traveled through the State of Di, the State of Wei, the State of Qi, the State of Cao, the State of Song, the State of Zheng, the State of Chu and the State of Qin, and has been treated with countless cold receptions, bullies and calculations.

Thinking of Chong'er's wife Ji Kui raising the children alone after he left due to fleeing, and running to cry in the recess of Heishui Lake every day because he missed him, and thinking of Chong'er's other wife Jiang Shi did not hesitate to get him drunk and send him away in order to remind him not to be satisfied with the status quo and greedy for enjoyment, Jiang Yuetang burst into tears again.

"Teacher, although Chong'er's life has been full of turbulence and displacement, it is fortunate to have people like Huyan, Xianzhen, Jie Zitui and Zhao Yu to be loyal to him, as well as women like Ji Kui and Jiang Shi to love. Jiang Yuetang said sincerely.

Shangguan Che smiled and nodded: "Yes, his life is a life full of hardships, his success is a model of Taoguang Yanghui, and it is not for nothing that the Jin Kingdom later dominated the Spring and Autumn Period under his leadership." He also said: "So don't underestimate the temporarily depressed or unambitious people, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can say for sure?"

Perhaps Chong'er's own experience was more attractive than that famous battle in history, so the two talked about Chong'er's life experience for a long time, and it wasn't until later that Shangguan Che asked: "In the Battle of Chengpu, why was the Jin State able to win?"

Jiang Yuetang then replied while drawing a picture on the paper: "1. The Jin army retreated to the Chu army for three rounds (ninety miles), which not only fulfilled the promise of Duke Wen of Jin to King Cheng of Chu back then, but also effectively moved closer to the Qi army and the Qin army to get backup. 2. When the Jin and Chu armies fought against each other, the Jin army was divided into upper, middle and lower armies, with the upper army on the right, the lower army on the left, and the middle army in the center, and the Chinese army was personally seated by Xianzhen and Jin Wengong. After the start of the war, the lower army of the Jin State covered all the horses driving with tiger skins, and launched an attack on the right army of the Chu army, the right army of Chu thought that it was a real tiger that pounced, and was so frightened that it was defeated as soon as it touched it, and was quickly defeated; the lower army of Jin erected two big flags, and deliberately raised rolling dust behind the camp to create the illusion of retreat, the Chu army did not suspect that there was a deceit, and immediately pursued it, and after chasing it for a distance, the Jin general Xianzhen immediately commanded the Chinese army to attack its flank, cut off its retreat, and ordered the Jin army to turn back and attack, and the left army of Chu was thus annihilated by most of them, so far, the Chu army has gone to the general trend, and had to retreat in a hurry。

Therefore, from a strategic point of view, the Jin army adopted the tactics of 'luring the enemy into depth' and 'striking at the rear,' thus gaining the political initiative and gaining military superiority; in terms of operations, Duke Wen of Jin personally took command of the battle, which boosted morale, while the Chu side was only led by the generals, and the morale was greatly different, and the Chu army's general Ziyu was arrogant and underestimated the enemy and did not argue with the truth, which was also a major reason for the defeat of the Chu army. ”

Shangguan Che nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and asked again, "What inspiration did this battle give you?"

Jiang Yuetang replied: "First, when fighting, it is necessary to first defeat the weak enemy in order to gain more initiative; second, when fighting, it is necessary to stress strategy, such as luring the enemy into depth, taking advantage of the gap, and waiting for an opportunity to fight; third, we must not choose those who are arrogant and underestimate the enemy as the commander-in-chief, but should choose people who are resourceful, decisive, heavy, and calm; we must be full and feasible in operational arrangements, accurate in judging the military situation, and improvised in commanding battles. ”

"Well, that's right. Shangguan Che nodded again and again, and then asked: "If you are Ziyu, the general of the Chu State, what will you do when King Chu Cheng reminds you not to approach the Jin army?"

Jiang Yuetang thought for a moment and replied, "I will accept King Chu Cheng's suggestion." ”

"Then, in this way, there is a possibility that the battle of Chengpu will not happen. Shangguan Che smiled.

"Yes, in this way, the state of Chu will still have the status of the overlord of the Central Plains, and the rise of the state of Jin will be postponed. Jiang Yuetang said.

"So this is another story that changed the pattern of the times because of the individual. Shangguan Che smiled, then his expression became serious again, and said, "Then, let's analyze and analyze Ziyu." ”

"Good. Jiang Yuetang immediately listened attentively.

"What do you think is Ziyu's fatal flaw?" Shangguan Che asked.

"Arrogant, underestimating the enemy, paying too much attention to detail and ignoring the fundamentals. Jiang Yuetang thought for a moment and replied.

"That's right," Shangguan Che nodded, "It is said that in the autumn of 637 BC, King Chu Cheng sent Ziyu to parade, Ziyu beat seven soldiers during the parade, and pierced the ears of three soldiers with long arrows. ”

Jiang Yuetang nodded.

Shangguan Che continued: "So this involves the question of what kind of generals should be selected to fight during the battle, Yueting, what do you think an excellent general should look like?"

Jiang Yuetang replied: "The Art of War has a saying, 'Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness', an excellent general should be wise and decisive, clear rewards and punishments, love soldiers, brave and firm, and clear law and order. ”

"Uh-huh," Shangguan Che nodded, and said: ""Guanzi" believes that generals should have 'three knowledges' - knowing form, knowing ability, and knowing meaning. Knowing one's form means knowing the strength of the material forces of both the enemy and us; knowing one's ability means knowing the military and strategic abilities and personality characteristics of the generals of both sides; and knowing one's mind means knowing the intentions of both sides in this military action.

"Wu Zi's Art of War" also believes that generals should be 'always civil and military, both rigid and soft', should be reasonable, prepared, fruitful, precautionary, and covenant, and should also be good at boosting morale, good at using the terrain, good at using wisdom, good at enhancing combat effectiveness, and should have the four qualities of majesty, benevolence, bravery, and morality at the same time. ”

Jiang Yuetang silently kept it in his heart.

Shangguan Che continued: "Sun Bin, a military strategist of the Warring States, believed that generals must 'know the way of heaven and the principles of the earth', and must 'win the hearts of the people inside and the feelings of the enemy outside'. The "Twelve Tombs" of "Wei Xuanzi", Xunzi's "Six Techniques and Five Powers", the "Twelve Abilities" in "Three Strategies", the "Five Elements and Ten Guards" in "Huainanzi Military Training", the "Six Virtues" of Wang Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Fifteen Laws" of "Jiang Yuan", Du Mu's "Eight Virtues", the "Four Precepts" of Huayue in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang's "Five Things" all talk about the ability and cultivation that generals should have. ”

Shangguan Che said that he listed the title of the book.

Jiang Yuetang put the paper with the list of books into his pocket, so that he could find these books and read them after class.
