I think that the defeat of Changping in China was caused by Zhao Kuo, the ancestor of "talking on paper", and to this day, there are still many people who are "unhappy" for Zhao Kuo: the Warring States period is short of food and grass, and it must be resolved quickly, and Zhao Kuo is also forced to do so. But let's think about it: can a gentleman who has no experience in a big war be able to undertake such a big war? This is a battle of national fortunes, not child's play!

Maybe Zhao Kuo and Ma Jian can be called "senior staff", but they lack actual combat experience, how can they "take the lead" in vain?

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing still know how to practice tactics in Shanglin Yuan, and they still go to "cameo" as a fake general when they have nothing to do, it can be seen that there is no natural general, only the difference between ready and unready!

Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "In ancient wars, the most poisonous thing was the lack of food and water, and the most ruthless was fire and flooding!" "If Zhao Kuo stubbornly defends Changping, Zhao may be able to continue to be a stumbling block to Qin like Jin blocking Qin; If Ma Tan did not lose the street pavilion, then Shu Han would be able to recover Yongliang Erzhou and Zhongxing Han Dynasty. History, there really are too many ifs!

Outside the city, Zhao general Zhao Cong fled in embarrassment with the remnants of the defeated army, and by the way, a lot of "exhaust gases" were discharged.

"Honey, you fly slowly, watch out for the thorny rose in front; My dear, if you open your mouth, the fragrance of flowers in the wind will make you intoxicated......" Meng Yi couldn't help but sing "Two Butterflies", but it's a pity that there are no roses in the wilderness of Zhao Kingdom, otherwise it must be very appropriate!

"Where did the fragrance of flowers come from, my brother was about to be smoked to death by Zhao Jun, it really fucking stinks!" Wang Ben sneezed on the side and said with a complaining face.

Roses are native to eastern Asia, and there are still many roses in the wild. Pingyin rose cultivation has a long history, according to historical records, it began in the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. The origin of the name of the rose, "Shuowen" has: "rose, the beauty of the stone, the rose, the pearl is good"; Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" also has the saying that "its stone is red rose, jade rose, and rose rose".

"I said, why don't you chase it? The generals of the Zhao army in front of you are big fish at first glance, aren't you thinking about being promoted to the title? Meng Yi asked curiously.

"What are you chasing? The other party didn't look like he was poisoned, and he was one person and two horses, and when I caught up, I was afraid that everyone would be under Handan City. Wang Ben gave a roll of his eyes angrily, "But to be honest, Croton is really a divine thing." In the future, before attacking the city, we will send people to secretly throw croton, and it is estimated that the enemy will suffer a great crime. ”

"My brother Meng Tian looted the nearby medicine shops within a radius of thousands of miles, and even sent people to purchase them from Guanzhong, and the total purchase was only enough for the amount needed for a city. So we can't afford to use this kind of trick for the time being. What's more, the enemy is not stupid, and when he encounters a similar situation in the future, he will definitely take precautions. Meng Yi reminded.

"Didn't you say that croton is colorless and odorless, and its toxicity cannot be detected? How can the enemy guard against it? Wang Ben asked curiously.

"It's very simple, every time you boil water to cook, let a few soldiers eat in advance, or after a while, you can know if there is a problem with the diet." Meng Yi explained with a chuckle, "When marching and fighting, after all, you still have to rely on your overall strength to finally overwhelm the other party. Clever plans can only succeed for a while. ”

"I see, I almost thought that the croton plan was unsolvable." Wang Ben patted his head and laughed.

For generals, there are many kinds since ancient times. Meng Yi agrees with Zhuge Kongming's division, which is summarized into five types: mediocre generals, benevolent and righteous generals, desperate generals, resourceful generals, and handsome generals;

"Those who can lead the troops are called generals; Those who can be generals are also handsome. ”

The difference between handsome talent and general talent is that handsome talent is superior to others, with more keen insight and innovation ability, and handsome talent is better at grasping opportunities and knowing more subtleties!

For example, in the military tent, a man faces the crowd and gives orders with a token in his hand: so-and-so, order how many men and horses you will bring to attack the city; So-and-so, how many men and horses do you want to take to ambush...... The person who gave the order was handsome, and those who said that they were "ordered" to act on orders were generals, which is the most intuitive statement.

Compared to the general, Shuai has a lot more to think about.

In the pre-war preparation stage, he had to consider: What is the weather like? What about the terrain? What about the enemy generals? What about the enemy's combat power? How to allocate grain and grass? How to dispatch people? How do generals use it? How to spy on the enemy? How to settle in the barracks? How is the military order conveyed? How to stabilize the morale of the army?

In the war, the commander is also responsible for arranging the troops, as well as coordinating and commanding the generals to fight, and a decision must be made at a critical juncture!

After the war, the marshal was also responsible for rewarding and punishing meritorious deeds, reporting on the battle situation, summing up experience, and so on. It's not that the above things must be done by handsome, but these are all basic skills for Shuai!

The marshal is the one who coordinates the overall situation of the war, and is the head of the army and the first person responsible, so he is also called "commander-in-chief" and "marshal". The real "handsome talent" must know astronomy, geography, and military affairs, and must be anticipating the enemy first, making decisions on the battlefield, and is an all-round talent.

As for the generals, they focus on the implementation level, which is relatively simple, and there are two main tasks: one is to lead the soldiers under them, and the other is to carry out the commander's orders. Soldiers are more in contact with their own generals, so as a "general", the first thing is to set an example for the soldiers, lead by example, and let the soldiers obey you. At the same time, it is necessary to have certain management ability and execution ability, and be able to take charge independently.

For example, you might be clearer. At the beginning, Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu and win the world, the most important reason was that he had a lot of talents, and there were top talents in various positions in administration, staff officer, diplomacy, and military. Among them, the general Han Xin is a rare handsome talent, and Xiao He said that he is "unparalleled in the country", which is not an exaggeration. And people like Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Guan Ying, and Zhou Bo are all generals who can take charge of themselves.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu's team is much inferior, and there are generals but no handsome talents in the military aspect, so although the army is very combative, it lacks strategy and tactics, so it lost to Liu Bang. As for Liu Bang himself, he is an emperor's talent, and he is also an excellent military commander, of course, much worse than Han Xin.

On the ancient battlefield, the emperor chose the commander, the commander of the general, and the general would lead the troops.

Qin Wang Yingzheng only has two handsome talents in his hands at the moment: Wang Jian and Huan Qi. And the two brothers Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Zhang Han, Yang Duanhe and others are just relatively outstanding generals.

In the winter of 236 B.C., when Yan and Zhao were in a fierce war, Wang Qian, the general of the Qin army's North Road, led an army of 100,000 to conquer the important town of Zhao State, which made this strategic place in Taihang Mountain, which had long been coveted by Qin, be uprooted by Qin in one fell swoop, thus opening the passage to attack Handan from the west.

At the same time, the Qin army in the middle of the road, led by the Qin general Yang Ruihe, led 50,000 partial divisions, attacked Hanyang, an important town located in the northwest of Handan, and successfully conquered it, so that the northwest direction of Handan also lost its barrier. The Qin army's southern route army was led by the general Huan Qi with an army of 150,000 from Nanyang and captured Anyang south of Handan. At this point, the Qin army had advanced to the south of Handan, separated only by a strip of Zhangshui and a few cities from Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

On the one hand, he hurriedly sent people to Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao, to ask for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he concentrated his forces to defend the city near Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei), and set up a large camp in Donggu Mountain. Donggu Mountain is fifteen miles southwest of Yecheng.

The general of Zhao Guo understood that if the two important towns of Yecheng and Yi'an were lost again, the Qin army could attack the city of Handan. Therefore, the general of Zhao decided to defend these two cities, if these two cities are lost, then he will not have the face to see King Zhao, it is better to apologize with death!

Although the general of Zhao Guo Hu was attached to Guo Kai, the minister of Zhao State, he was always an orthodox soldier, and he was born in a family of military generals, and he knew how to repay the king's kindness with death.

Although there were 300,000 Qin troops from all directions, due to the stubborn resistance of the 200,000 troops of Zhao, they were stopped on the spot after capturing the above-mentioned areas. Later, after continuous battles, King Yingzheng of Qin originally organized the three attacking troops from the north and south into one independent combat unit, which was commanded by the Qin general Huan Qi.

Meng Yi finally understood the power of ancient power at this time, although Qin Wang Yingzheng also understood that Wang Jian was more suitable to be the coach than Huan Qi, but against an opponent of the level of Zhao Guo's general, it was obvious that Huan Qi could also be competent! Compared with Wang Qian, Huan Qi's credit is obviously insufficient, but there is no credit, and there is hard work.

"Tao Te Ching" has a saying: Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the king is also big. There are four great domains, and the king is one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.

As the most important component of imperial power, the way of balance has always been admired by monarchs of all generations. Playing well is like playing a game of chess, the subjects are not chess pieces, fiddling with their hands, stirring up the world; Those who got off the game were pulled onto the chessboard by the chess pieces, and they couldn't even control their own fate in the intrigues.

The way of an emperor refers to the synthesis of attitude, knowledge, wisdom, management, prediction and other abilities that an emperor should have. For the emperor, one person is the sky, the power is in hand, judging the situation, making the best use of things, making the best use of talents, the heart is wide to accommodate the world, and the mind is broad to accommodate all rivers. In fact, to put it bluntly, a person who is an emperor should have courage and eloquence, not necessarily erudite, but not lack common sense, not necessarily do, but must be able to employ people and be good at attracting people's hearts. And the art of the emperor is a strategy that embodies the way of the emperor. And the art of the emperor is a strategy that embodies the way of the emperor. The Emperor's Mind Technique belongs to the category of power arts. To put it simply, the way of the emperor is like a prescription, and the art of the emperor is the instructions for use. Do not have the same heart, do what you want to know who you want to know, who you want to know, and be able to endure what others can't bear, even if you face the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife, you must be able to do it like your own brother when necessary.

Nowadays, the Wang family has deep military strength in Qin, and the elites in the clan continue to emerge, in addition to Wang Ling, Wang Yi and other generals, as well as Wang Qian, Wang Ben father and son, etc., Qin Wang Yingzheng naturally does not want to watch the Wang family dominate, so Huan Qi, who has worked hard, made a grand debut!

Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for kings since ancient times! In the future, King Yingzheng, who swept the six countries, surpassed the three emperors and surpassed the five emperors, could not be exempt from vulgarity! ”
