Shen Liang looked at the two people in front of him, one was the stipe and the other was the text, and said, "Okay, you can go now, remember to come to my barracks tomorrow to give you a lecture, understand?" ”
The stipe and the text nodded and said, "Okay, we'll be here tomorrow." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Shen Liang smiled and said, "Let's go!" ”
The stipe and the text said, "Yes." ”
After Shen Liang saw the fungus and the text leave, he began to continue to study Li Ziping's tactics and tactics, after all, it was inevitable to start a war with the other party in the future war.
Shen Liang twitched the corners of his mouth and looked not far away, and said with a smile: "It seems that if you want to win, you must familiarize your subordinates with the art of war, so that the other party can win by surprise in a sneak attack or other battles, which is also possible." ”
The so-called soldier is a means of war, Shen Liang raised his head and looked at the sky, at this moment he had already walked out of the camp, who knew that it was already dark at this moment.
The passing of the night is a kind of summoning the coming of tomorrow's light, and in this way, the night will be wounded.
Shen Liang saw that the night was too dark, and he went to sleep.
The next day came quickly, Shen Liang was waiting for the stipe and the text in the barracks early in the morning, and at this moment the stipe and the text came to the barracks.
The fungus and the text looked at Shen Liang and said, "Meet the general, let the general wait for a long time." ”
Shen Liang saw the stipe and the text, nodded, and said, "Sit down!" ”
The fungus and the text sat down, and at this moment Shen Liang began to say: "Today I will start to tell you about the battle of the long spoon, this is a famous battle in history. ”
The stipe and the text nodded, and immediately pricked up their ears at this moment and began to listen seriously.
Shen Liang continued: "In the spring of the fourteenth year, he sent an army of 300,000 troops to attack Lu in an attempt to conquer Lu in one fell swoop. Lu Zhuanggong paid attention to renovating internal affairs, won the trust of the people, and was determined to resist. Cao Di, a scheming Lu Guoshi, volunteered to go to war with Zhuang Gong. According to the situation of strong and weak Qi, the Lu army led an army of 30,000 to meet the Qi army in Miaoshan Town, Laiwu, Shandong Province, and the north of Qufu. After the two armies finished arraying, Lu Zhuanggong wanted to strike first, but was persuaded by Cao Di. Seeing that the Lu army was not moving, the Qi army launched an attack again and again, but to no avail. The Qi army was tired and demoralized. The Lu army was in a stable position and had high morale. Cao Di saw that the situation on the battlefield had shown a favorable change of "he exhausted himself and I made a profit", and suggested that Zhuang Gong carry out a counterattack. The soldiers of the Lu army defeated the Qi army with one blow, and Lu Zhuanggong killed the son Yong of Qi Huan with an arrow. Zhuang Gong was anxious to pursue, Cao Di was afraid that the Qi army would feint defeat and set up an ambush, that is, he got off the car to inspect the rutted traces of the Qi army, and then boarded the car to look at the Qi army's flag, and found that the ruts were chaotic, and judged that the Qi army was indeed defeated. In the history of ancient Chinese warfare, this battle is known for winning the defense principle of striking first and fighting again after the enemy is tired, and the Lu State defeated the Qi State with a ratio of 1 to 10 people, becoming a classic battle in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and even in Chinese history with less victories. Since King Zhou Ping moved east to Luoyi in 770 B.C., China's history has entered the Spring and Autumn Period of princes merger and great powers competing for hegemony. Qi and Lu are important vassal states in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are adjacent to each other, in the turbulent situation at that time, various contradictions inevitably occur, and the intensification of contradictions and conflicts will inevitably lead to the result of the two countries fighting each other, and the battle of the long spoon is the product of this special historical condition. At that time, the state of Lu possessed the southwestern and western regions of present-day Shandong, and the capital city of Qufu was now Qufu, Shandong, which retained more of the ritual and music traditions of the Zongzhou society, and was in a second-class position among the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, and its territory and national strength were at a relative disadvantage compared with the Qi State. As for the State of Qi, it was the fief of Jiang Taigong Lu Wang, which governed a vast area in the northern part of present-day Shandong, and the capital was Linzi, northeast of present-day Zibo City, Shandong. The land there is fertile, and rich in the benefits of fishing and salt, after the Taigong country, the implementation of "because of its customs, simple etiquette", "according to local conditions, economic development", "meritorious and meritorious", "cultivation law", ritual law and a series of correct policies, so the economy is developed, the strength is strong, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, has been the leading country in the Oriental region. The Battle of the Long Spoon broke out against this background of Qi being strong and reckless. Qi Ligong's ignorance of his son and grandson treated him the same as that of the prince Zhu'er, which had already caused Zhu'er's dissatisfaction. Later, Zhu'er succeeded to the throne as Duke Xiang of Qi. On the grounds that Gongsun was treated too high for ignorance, he lowered it and "obeyed the rank of ignorance", which caused Gongsun to be dissatisfied with ignorance and conspired to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. The doctor even said that Guan Zhi's father Guan Zhong's father Guan Zhong's father was also resentful because he was not replaced in time because of the departure of Kuiqiu, so he colluded with Gongsun Ignorance and conspired to kill Xianggong and support Ignorance as the king of Qi, which caused the dissatisfaction of Doctor Guan Zhong, Bao Shuya and others. They felt that "the king makes the people slow, and chaos will be done", so they respectively supported Gongzi Jiao and Gongzi Xiaobai to take refuge in Benlu and Ju. In 686 B.C., the eleventh year of King Zhuang of Zhou, Qi Xianggong was injured when he went hunting in other places, and Gongsun was ignorant and learned that Qi Xianggong was injured, so he sent someone to kill Qi Xianggong. Even the title and management of the father to the ignorance of the monarch caused the opposition of the whole country. Then the prince of Qi killed Gongsun Wuzhi and announced that he would welcome Gongzi Jiu, who had taken refuge in Lu State, and agreed with Lu Zhuang Guild to escort Gongzi back to China. And Xiaobai, the son who rushed to Juguo, heard of the turmoil in the country, and hurriedly returned to China under the escort of Bao Shuya and Ju soldiers to fight for power. After Guan Zhong heard the news, he invited to attack on the way and shot Xiaobai, but was rescued by Uncle Bao's wit, and rushed back to Linzi first, and took the throne, that is, the Duke of Qi Huan. Gongzi Jie and Guan Zhong saw that the position of the monarch was taken away by Xiaobai, so they had to return to Lu to live, which made the relationship between Qi and Lu tense again. The newly enthroned Duke of Qi Huan, Xiaobai, was very dissatisfied with Lu because of Lu Guo's support for Gongzi Jiao. Lu Zhuang Gong thought that Gongzi Jiu did not become the monarch of Qi State, and he was extremely hostile to Qi, so he personally led a large army to forcibly send Gongzi Jiao back to China and entered the Qi Realm Ganshi area, and Qi Huan Gong immediately discussed countermeasures with Bao Shuya and others, and decided to "reject it with soldiers". Both sides entered the battle with 500 military vehicles each. The Qi army broke the left and right armies of Lu in one fell swoop, and then surrounded the Chinese army commanded by the Duke of Luzhuang. Lu Zhuanggong replanted the banner on the car of the general Qin Zi, and changed to break through in disguise in the car to avoid being captured. After the defeat of the Lu army, under the pressure of the Qi army, Lu Zhuanggong actually changed his original intention, killed Gongzi Jiao, and escorted Guan Zhong to the Qi State. After the war, Lu Zhuanggong learned the lessons of defeat, strengthened army training, rushed to produce various weapons, and dredged Zhushui north of Qufu to prevent the Qi army from attacking. At the same time, some political work was also done to win the trust of the people, so when the Qi army approached the Lu border and the situation in the northern part of the Lu country was tense, Lu Zhuanggong decided to mobilize the whole country to fight in unison. At this time, Cao Di, a little-known but indeed political foresight and military literacy, with the determination to save the motherland, went to see Lu Zhuang Gong, stated his strategy for defeating Qi State, and played a major role in Zhuang Gong's war command and the victory of the Lu army. In the spring of 684 B.C., after consolidating the throne, the Duke of Qi Huan relied on his strong strength, regardless of Guan Zhong's admonition, and decided to rejuvenate Lu in retaliation for the old grudge that Lu supported Gongzi to rectify the country a year ago, in an attempt to conquer Lu in one fell swoop and expand the power of Qi outward. At that time, Lu Zhuang Gong was in power, and when he heard that the Qi army was attacking, he decided to mobilize the strength of the whole country and fight with the Qi army. Just when Lu Zhuang Gong was about to send troops to fight, there was a man named Cao Di in the Lu State who thought that the rulers were mediocre and incompetent, and could not plan ahead. He couldn't bear to see his country being ravaged by the Qi ** team, so he went to see Zhuang Gong and asked to participate in the war. Cao Di asked what Zhuang Gong relied on to fight against the Qi State. Lu Zhuanggong said that for things such as clothing and food, he always had to give them to his subordinates, and he didn't dare to enjoy them alone. Cao Di pointed out that this is only a small favor and cannot be applied to the whole country, and the people will not contribute to the war. Lu Zhuanggong also said that he was very devout to the gods, and the sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth never dared to make false reports, and he was very trustworthy. However, Cao Di believes that keeping a little faith in God may not be able to move the gods, and the gods will not bless them. Lu Zhuanggong thought for a while and added that although he could not be able to deal with the large and small prison lawsuits of the people, he would definitely deal with them in a reasonable manner. Cao Di said at this time that he had fulfilled the responsibility of the monarch, done good things for the people, and had the basic conditions for a duel with the Qi country. For this reason, he asked to go to the battlefield with Lu Zhuanggong, and Lu Zhuang agreed to his request and let him go to the long spoon in the same car with him.
In the fourteenth year of King Zhouzhuang, the second year of Duke Huan of Qi, and the tenth year of Duke Lu Zhuang In 684 BC, the Qi army invaded the territory of Lu with strong soldiers and horses. Lu Zhuanggong temporarily avoided the advance of the Qi army and retreated to a place conducive to a counteroffensive, Changlao, in the northern suburbs of present-day Qufu, Shandong. Due to the victory of the Qi State in the dry war, the soldiers below Bao Shuya despised the Lu army and thought that it was vulnerable, so they launched a fierce attack. When Lu Zhuang saw that the Qi army was attacking the position of the Lu army, he wanted to beat the drum and give the order to fight. Cao Di dissuaded: Qi troops are sharp, our army's attack is in line with the enemy's wishes, victory is uncertain, "it is better to wait quietly" and cannot attack. Zhuang Gong then ordered the Lu army to hold the position, and only ordered the crossbowmen to shoot to stabilize the position. The Qi army had no opponent to fight, and could not rush into the position of the Lu army, but was unable to advance due to the fierce fire of the Lu army's bow and crossbow, so it had to retreat. After a short rest, Bao Shuya ordered a second attack, and Cao Di advised Zhuang Gong not to attack and continue to hold his position. Although the offensive of the Qi army was fierce, it still could not attack the formation, and its morale was inevitably exhausted, and then retreated to its original position. The Qi army attacked twice, but the Lu army did not respond, and Bao Shuya and the generals of the Qi army both thought that the Lu army was timid to respond to the battle and decided to attack again. As a result, the third attack of the Qi army quickly appeared in front of the Lu army. Cao Di saw that although the Qi army was coming fiercely this time, the momentum was not as great as the last two times, and he thought that the time had come to attack, and immediately proposed to Zhuang Gong to counterattack the Qi army. Zhuang Gong personally beat the war drums and gave the order to attack. When the soldiers of the Lu army heard the order, their morale was high, they attacked bravely, rushed to be the first, unstoppable, and beat the Qi army to pieces, collapsed into an army, and retreated one after another, and the Lu army won a decisive victory. The Lu army was victorious, and Zhuang Gong ordered the pursuit. Cao Di believed that Qi was a big country with strong troops, and it was not easy to determine whether it was really defeated, and it was likely that there was another ambush to prevent Zhuang Gong from issuing a pursuit order. He climbed the hill and looked, saw that the Qi army was in disarray, and the weapons were upside down, and got out of the car to observe that the ruts of the Qi army's chariot were very chaotic, and judged that the Qi army was really defeated, so he proposed a bold pursuit to Zhuang Gong. Under the order of Duke Zhuang, the Lu army fought fiercely and pursued, dealt a heavy blow to the Qi army, captured a large number of armor soldiers and baggage, drove the Qi army out of the country, and shot and killed the son of Qi Huan, Gongzi Yong, washing away the shame suffered by the battle when it was dry, and the country was revitalized. After the victory of the Lu army, Zhuang Gong and Cao Di discussed the reasons for the victory and defeat of the war. Cao Di said: Fighting is all about courage, and in ancient times, soldiers were used to "advance when they beat the drums"; as soon as the drums sounded, the courage would go all out and "then decline," and if the drums were beaten again, the courage would decline "three and exhausted," and the courage of the three drums would be gone. "He is exhausted and I am profitable", the enemy is exhausted, and I am full of vigor at the beginning, so I can defeat the enemy. As for the question of pursuit, Cao Di said: "The husband is a big country, unpredictable, and afraid of ambushes," and "I regard its chaos and hope that it will be beautiful," so he agreed to order the pursuit. ”
Speaking of this at this moment, Shen Liang looked at the stipe and the text, and said, "This is the story, what did you hear?" ”
At this moment, both the stipe and the text replied, "We have almost heard it, and we probably understand it." ”
At this moment, Shen Liang asked, "Then what is the revelation of this battle?" "To be continued.
