Chapter 16: The Great River Goes to the West of the Ancient Base (3)
The third big trick is the banquet poem. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), on the fifteenth day of the eleventh month of winter, the weather was sunny, the wind and waves were calm, and the ambitious Cao Cao ordered a banquet on the ship.
This night, the bright moon is in the sky, the Yangtze River is like practice, the cool breeze is blowing, the friends are full, the warblers are singing and dancing, so unhappy.
Cao Cao's classmates were elated, but they drank heavily again, and began to spit out the truth after drinking. Point to the rivers and mountains, carry forward the text, point to the east and point to the west, and comment on the south and the north. It is said that Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others all do not know the sky, do not understand affairs, and with the power of ants, they want to regret Mount Tai, and they will be captured by me in a few days. It means that the heroes of the world are only Cao. I completely forgot that I was a hero when I cooked wine with Liu Bei Qingmei. There are still Liu Bei, Liu Yuanjun, and Sun Quan, a hero who has not yet debuted. Is it not that if you don't get along with your classmate Cao Cao, you won't be a hero.
He also said that after sweeping the four seas and leveling the world, he would share the glory and wealth with the kings, and said that the ministers and generals were fluttering, completely lost their vigilance, and did not know how to fight. After the happiness soared, he told the secret of the unhealthy violation of discipline that did not violate the ancient morality, and now he built the Tongque Terrace by the Zhangshui River, such as the south of the Yangtze River, and put the second Qiao on the stage, enjoying himself day and night.
The more Cao Cao spoke, the more excited he became, and the Heng Lance impassionedly told the generals: Since I started the army, I have used this lance to break the Yellow Turban, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, collect Yuan Shao, go deep into Saibei, go directly to Liaodong, eliminate harm for the country, sweep the world, sweep the four seas, and make the world peaceful. I live up to the ambition of my husband, in this beautiful scenery, I compose a song, and you wait to respond.
After drinking three cups, I was also drunk, and the poetry was prosperous, and the mood was high. came a song "Tanka Xing", which pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
When you sing about wine, what is your life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past.
Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang.
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs.
It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off.
The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Talking about the old kindness.
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed.
The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart.
According to investigation, "Tanka Xing" is "Xiao Ya", which quotes the song "Zijin" by Zheng Zhuanggong and the song "Deer Song" by Gongshu Duan in the Book of Poetry.
The first of these is a work that chases Guan Yu. This song is sung by Fu Xiaoya, in the battle of Guandu, Guan Yu defected to Liu Bei, Cao Cao because of the loss of Guan Yu and do a sad memorial song, each sentence is a description of the object, constantly switching between Cao Cao himself and Guan Yu, Liu Bei, the first three sentences are to describe Cao Cao because of the loss of Guan Yu and drunk, because there are too few good days with Guan Yu, like the morning dew is so short, the days after the loss of Guan Yu are more painful nostalgia. At the beginning of the second four sentences, Guan Yu is described as a generous person, once such a generous Guan Yu leaves Cao Cao to worry unforgettable, what can he use to relieve his sorrow, only to drink Du Kang wine. At the beginning of the third four sentences, Zheng Zhuanggong's "Zijin" song was quoted, Cao Cao said that Guan Yu of Qingqing Zijin, everything he thought in his heart was in my leisurely heart, because of your monarch Liu Bei, because Liu Bei's attraction to Guan Yu could not be cut off. It expresses the feeling of thirst for talent.
But happiness is sad, and some people can't stand it anymore at this time. Liu Fu, the assassin of Yangzhou, couldn't help but say that on the eve of the war, the poem said, "The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south." Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed", these sentences are too unlucky. The black magpie is an unlucky bird, and it is even more unlucky to hear the chirping, and there is no place to stay, doesn't it indicate that Cao Cao Cao has no place to bury him? This thorn was originally a kind reminder and said a few words of feudal superstition. It's also Liu Fu who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, how can he be ugly in front of everyone, isn't this a manifestation of disorganization and undiscipline? Cao Cao, who thought he was winning, didn't believe in evil, believed in himself, believed in science, and broke feudal superstition with practical actions.
Liu Chan gave Cao Cao's third homework answer as follows:
The war is imminent, your classmate Cao Cao does not sit back and wait, and actively fights, but gathers people to drink, orders for fun, too child's play, how can you not be defeated? The world has not yet been unified, you don't care about the life and death of the people, build a large number of buildings, build a Tongque platform for your own enjoyment, and promise to marry Erqiao, two married women. The corrupt and degenerate poison of spending time on wine and pleasure had a very bad impact, seriously affecting the outlook on life and values of the 250,000 Cao Wei soldiers and directly reducing their combat effectiveness. People haven't divorced yet, and you Cao Cao likes husbands so much, don't you remember that because of the incident with Aunt Zhang Xiu, the general Dian Wei, the eldest son Cao Ang, and the nephew Cao Anmin died unexpectedly. It's so good that the scar forgets the pain.
You made public the secret that you liked my second uncle, and you came out openly, seriously infringing on the physical and mental health of 150,000 innocent soldiers. "The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed. "And killing people for no reason is so unlucky! It's self-defeating.
The fourth big trick, believe in Huang Gai.
On the eve of Cao Cao's large-scale attack, Jiangdong sent a big gift, and Huang Gai, the elder of the three dynasties in Jiangdong, asked to surrender. The book said: "Cover the kindness of the Sun family, and it should not be double-minded." However, in terms of today's situation: with the pawns of the six counties of Jiangdong, when China's millions of divisions, they are outnumbered, and they are seen at home. The generals of Eastern Wu, no wise and foolish, all know that they can't. Zhou Yu's boy, who is shallow and conceited, wants to use eggs to fight stones; At the same time, he is good at Weifu, and he is punished without guilt, and he is not rewarded for his merits. Gai is an old minister, he was humiliated for no reason, and he really hates it! Fu Wen Prime Minister treats things sincerely, humbly cherishes Nashi, and is willing to lead the people to surrender, in order to make meritorious contributions and shame. Grain and grass are offered to the army, and they are offered with the ship. Weep blood and worship white, don't be suspicious. ”
Meaning: I, Huang Gai, received a lot of kindness from the Sun family (Sun Jian family), and I shouldn't have had any other ideas. However, as far as today's current affairs are concerned: with the strength of the six counties of Jiangdong, the Central Plains has a million troops, and the difference in numbers is very large, and the world can see it. The military generals and civil officials of Eastern Wu, there was no one who was not smart, and they all knew that this matter (resisting Cao Cao) was impossible. Zhou Yu is a narrow-minded person, thinks he is great, and plans to hit a stone with an egg, and he often shows off his official authority, and he will punish you if he doesn't make a mistake, but he will not reward him. I am an old minister, I was insulted by him for no reason, and I hate him very much in my heart (Zhou Yu)! I heard that Prime Minister you treat soldiers sincerely and accept useful people with an open mind, I am willing to lead everyone to surrender to you, and I plan to establish a meritorious career to avenge the shame. Food and armaments, brought with the ship and presented to you. Prove my sincerity with my blood, and never doubt it.
For this superficial strategy, many strategists under Cao Cao's classmates saw that this was a fraudulent surrender, and Cao Cao disagreed with it because he was too rigid and self-serving, and accepted Huang Gai's invitation to surrender. He thought that Huang Gai was an old minister in Jiangdong, and he was unwilling to live under Zhou Yu, and over the years, too many generals had surrendered to him, and he was accustomed to it, so he relaxed his vigilance. was attacked by Huang Gai with fire, igniting the fire of failure. The most stupid thing is that because the northern army did not practice boats, Zhou Yu sent Feng Xiao Pang Tong to Cao Ying, and poor Cao Cao fell into a chain scheme and connected all the transfer boats with iron chains. Thus, the root cause of the fiasco was deeply buried in person.
Liu Chan gave Cao Cao's fourth homework answer and gave the following instructions: You Cao Cao is degraded, and if no one surrenders, you will be unhappy, which is also a manifestation of vanity. Why did you have to let him come to Jiangbei? You can let him cut off Sun Quan or Zhou Yu's head as a vote, or let him continue to lurk in Jiangdong, take the opportunity to make trouble, and plan for Cao's army to attack. In the future, you have to remember that before the war, all you sent for free was poison, or bait for fishing, as the saying goes, there is no good thing when it is cheap, and good goods are not cheap. Don't forget! In addition, you Cao surrendered to many generals, what is the use of asking Huang Gai and an old man and a hundred or dozens of people, rush across the river, meet demons and kill demons. When you meet ghosts and kill ghosts, everything is yours, I don't know what you think. It's really smart, and it's confused for a while. This is the lesson of blood.
To sum up, Cao Cao's classmates made four stupid moves in a row, and were carried away by the victory of unifying the north, and completely forgot the fundamental law of the speed of soldiers. The battlefield is changing rapidly, the opportunity to do war is fleeting, it is persuasion to surrender, and it is waiting to surrender, drinking here, chanting poetry here, how can you be undefeated!
The ancients, taking copper as a reference, can be dressed properly; Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
Liu Chan thought about the battle of Chibi and drew profound lessons, one of which is to keep a clear head at all times, guard against arrogance and rashness, follow the good as the stream, and brainstorm. Especially when you are extremely strong, don't be blindly optimistic and careless. In the future, when the battle of Yiling is carried out, it is necessary to pay more attention. Second, the war must be resolved quickly, without red tape, without dancing, and if it is too late, there will be changes. You can't give the other party a chance to breathe, let alone be blindly optimistic. Third, the struggle in the future will be a tripartite game between Cao Wei, Liu Han, and Sun Wu. Historically, the reason for the defeat of Shu Han is that in the three-way game, Shu has always been on the passive weak side.
Only by adapting to the situation, combining vertical and horizontal, transforming at any time, seeing people and talking about people, talking about ghosts, surpassing Cao Cao's treachery and Sun Quanyin's absolute, and becoming a generation of change, can there be the possibility of victory. After the vertical and horizontal struggle, the more intelligent and more endurance side can achieve the best results and the final victory.
