Chapter 332: The Future Situation
There is also a possibility that the mercenaries of the Tang Dynasty rumored that they attacked Huangchao with the Hedong leader Li Ke with a joint army, and it was another mercenary army, that is, the Dangxiang people who had been stationed in Gansu for many years, and the supreme commander of their army was Tuoba Sigong, so it is very easy to explain that the Dangxiang people and the Hedong army thought that they had defeated the Huangchao army in Henan together with the rebel Shang Rang, and believed that Huangchao had bowed down, and the local officials in Suzhou did not argue the truth or falsehood, and Pegasus reported to the imperial court
So why are there so many Song people such as Shao Bo, Zhang Duanyi and Liu Shizhi will believe in their notes that Huang Chao did not die, but cut his hair and lived a reclusive life incognito, just imagine Huang Chao is so conceited, full of hands, clouds and rain, heroes and heroes who have been stormy for decades, after experiencing the most magnificent and thrilling war career in his life, what else can he not afford to let go, how can he live incognito, living a life of gentle wind and drizzle, pampering and not shocking, which is also too inconsistent with the xìng character of the troubled times
Huang Chao is by no means a person who is afraid of death, nor is he a person who can be enlightened and finally enlightened, on the contrary, he is a very arrogant person, but also a very paranoid person, making him like a mouse, living more uncomfortable than death, thinking of Li Zicheng in the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was also said by later generations, and was not killed in Jiugong Mountain, Hubei, but became a monk, which actually entrusts the folk to a kind of euphemistic sustenance and sorrow for the heroes who started at the end of Qingping, but these sour Confucians of the poor Song Dynasty will follow the folk legends as the guideline, and do not hesitate to use the thick ink and color to spread the truth and cast a veil of artificial mystery over the real history
Since the war with Huangchao, he has not wasted this good opportunity, how to mobilize the army, how to fight, march and arrange, grain transportation, military morale, and even the offensive tactics and defensive means that he is good at, he has fully understood and fully learned, and the direct experience he has learned from the war is more practical than the knowledge obtained from books. Commanding several other battles remotely, and overlooking the overall situation from a high vantage point gave him a lot of tactical experience
He was forced to choose to advance as a retreat when he could not retreat, and fought the world for the unknown country, but even though he had many favorable conditions to stand out in Chenzhou and Songzhou, he did not dare to be careless about the future, and the future has become unknown, although the objective evaluation of the strength of all parties and the loss of the war at this time in later generations is still useful in his heart
But he understands very well that it cannot be his magic weapon for victory, and what later generations of scholars understand, people in this era really do not understand, no, they understand better than anyone else, no one knows their enemies better than them, and they understand their strengths and weaknesses, but understanding does not mean that they will be able to solve the problem, limited to various conditions, they can only choose the most suitable choice for them according to the geographical conditions, not the most suitable choice for the objective evaluation of history
Since he became a part of this world, in this labyrinth, he can only follow all the rules here, use all kinds of objective conditions here to act, instead of relying on a little experience to guide his own behavior, and it is difficult to say whether the conclusions that will be reflected and summarized by future generations from the perspective of everything that has come to an end are objective and the most accurate
When he puts himself in the middle of it, he adapts to the historical knowledge he has at his disposal, and the reactions and choices made by his opponents will change according to his actions, so that he can evaluate and analyze them according to the established history, and it becomes a useless experience when he takes the first step. For example, he has a certain battle in history, the gains and losses of both sides of the enemy and the enemy have a clear mind, and then he travels through time and space to enter this battle, can he become a god of war, that is just the fantasy of an ignorant boy, when he steps into this war game, if he can't dominate the battle, then he can only be a cannon fodder, even if he knows the future well, he can't change the outcome
But if he can become the coach of one side, and he will make some changes to the mistakes that are about to occur, then will the other party still mechanically follow the original routine, the other party will also change due to changes, and what he originally mastered is useless, this is like a boxer standing under the stage and watching two boxers compete on the stage, who misses and loses miserably, he can see it clearly, and also analyze the head of the way, but let him go back in time and replace the loser, he will only take advantage of one punch at most
From the moment he changes his style of play and takes advantage of the first punch, the opponent's reaction will change accordingly, and then it is impossible to go according to what he already knows, unless his punch has completely knocked the opponent down, he can only rely on strength to continue fighting, his foreknowledge will be useless, his plan and good calculations will all be invalid, if he is still stuck in that point of analysis of the fait accompli to act, then he is a boxer who mechanically plays routines in front of his opponent, and he will die a more ugly death than the original loser
So he must take every opportunity to learn more, grasp the future trend, there is no trace to follow, he has no cheats, can open plug-ins, can only rely on his own intelligence to work hard from scratch, and the ending of Huang Chao is dead or alive, is making him begin to reflect, in the history books of later generations, Huang Chao's death is ambiguous, and he himself did not witness this final battle, only with the experience of later generations, it is difficult to control the overall situation, strategizing, the original history has been changed beyond recognition, and he can only rely on his own ......
Two glasses of sake in an elegant room, Duan Mingyu and Zheng Yingying sat by the railing like this, and the river was wandering outside the window, and they had not sat so calmly and quietly for a long time, thinking quietly, and the relationship between Zheng Yingying and Duan Mingyu was very different from the past, and the two of them already knew what kind of position they were in
After these years of inseparable getting along, there is even an indescribable tacit understanding between the two, at such a time, Mingyu is quietly thinking, Zheng Yingying understands and sits silently aside, without making the slightest sound, and the taste of cutting and sorting is still chaotic rippling in her heart
