Chapter 279: Sun Tzu's Troops

The middle-aged man dressed like an old military officer was Sun Wu, who had become famous in recent years, and was called "Sun Tzu" by the prince of Wu who followed him to learn the art of war and the art of military warfare.

Sun Wu was originally a branch of the Chen clan of Qi State, the nephew of the famous general Sima Sui Tho, more than ten years ago, Qi Guoguo, Gao, Bao, and Chen four clans fought openly and secretly, resulting in Sima Sui Tho being persecuted and snubbed, and dying of illness. Sun Wu saw that Qi Guo was "stupid and stupid, and the three elders were frozen", and Dr. Qing was busy with infighting and had no room for his own performance, so he ran out.

With his vision and ambition, he naturally aimed at the rapidly rising state of Wu in the south. Since Shoumeng became the king, Wu has joined the Jin Dynasty to conquer Chu, and the country has gradually prospered, and there are signs of emerging, which is an excellent place for people with lofty ideals to give full play to their talents and make contributions.

However, unfortunately, when Sun Wu first arrived in Wu State, he happened to catch up with Gongzi Guang to send Zhuzhu to assassinate the royal bureaucrats, and the political situation in the upper echelons of Wu State was in turmoil for a while after the Night of the Comet. Due to what happened in the Qi State, Sun Wu hid his identity, lived in seclusion, and only corresponded with his old acquaintance Wu Zixu.

It wasn't until the two countries of Wu and Chu began to brew a great war that King Wu felt that the Wu army lacked generals, and Wu Zixu knew King Wu's intentions and recommended Sun Wu to him.

From that day on, the training of the Wu army, whether it was fighting or fighting, began to undergo obvious changes, and the Wu people, who were brave and willing to die, were ordered to form a dense phalanx.

Sun Tzu referred to the thirteen articles of the art of war written by Sima Fa, and when he first entered Wu, he had been dedicated to his father, King Wu, and every time he wrote an article, King Wu would indulge in the period, not knowing what to call it good, and his meaning was very happy. This art of war is not easy to teach, and the husband has been curious for a long time, until he became the prince, he was able to enter the room to be taught, so he listened extremely carefully.

Sun Tzu said: "A good fighter seeks to form a favorable situation, not a demanding soldier, so he can choose talents to adapt and take advantage of the situation that has been formed." A general who is good at creating a favorable 'momentum' commands his troops in battle is like turning wood and stone, and the momentum created is like rolling a cobblestone down an extremely high and steep mountain. The momentum is fierce, and if you use it well, you can be invincible! ”

Fu Cha nodded slightly, influenced by Wu Wang Lu and the Daxing soldiers. He admired Sun Wu very much. As he grew older, he gradually had the opportunity to lead the army, if he could learn the thirteen articles of the art of war, who in the world could be it? Hegemony can be expected!

However, there were people on the table behind the husband who didn't buy it. A loud and discordant voice suddenly rang out in the living room.

"Sun Tzu is right, as if he can be invincible in the world if he learns this art of war, if this is the case, why did Sun Tzu let the Wu army return with a big defeat when he attacked Chu a few years ago?"

Sun Wu looked over, but saw that it was a young man of Wu who was the same age as his husband, he had short unkempt hair, a cyan double fish-shaped tattoo on his face, wearing a short scaly crocodile leather armor, and a one-foot short sword pinned to the belt around his waist. The hilt of the sword is decorated with copper and silver in the shape of a fish.

This person's name is Zhuan Boyu, and he is the son of Zhuzhu who has been stabbing the king for more than ten years, and before Zhuan Zhuan Xing, he was promised by King Wu that he would treat him as his own body, and his parents and wives would raise him.

When Zhuan Boyu became an adult, he had the loyalty and courage of his father, and he was Zhuo Ba as the youngest doctor in Wu State, and he was also the personal companion of his husband, accompanying him all day long. can listen to Sun Wu teach the art of war together, and it can be seen that he was trained as the future team of the prince of Wu.

But although Zhuan Boyu has excellent swordsmanship and brave skills, he can't sit still. Only then did I listen to Sun Wu speak for a while. scratched his head and cheeks like sitting on pins and needles, looking for the gap between Sun Wu's words, and actually got up openly to refute.

He has a reckless personality and wants to do one thing at a time, but the husband in front of him is a person with a heart, and he was suddenly shocked. The moment Sun Wu's cold gaze swept over, he got up and kicked Zhuan Boyu to the ground.

"Presumptuous!"

Zhuan Boyu is short and strong, and when he stares at it, he suddenly has the air of ten thousand people. However, as soon as the husband scolded, the momentum of this son subsided, and he was kicked, and after seeing the eyes of the prince of Wu, he knelt on the ground, quiet as a virgin.

The husband turned around and apologized to his grandson for Zhuan Boyu: "This young man is talking in vain for a while, and he doesn't know the subtleties of the art of war, and I hope that my grandson will not be surprised." ”

The crown prince was a little afraid of Sun Wu in his heart, because that day in the Wu Palace, he could see the murderous side of this Qi people, that is, the "Wu Palace Sect Wars and Beheaded Concubines" that has changed the color of the palace people so far.

Sun Wu used the palace maid for the first time to perform the army, so he threw down the tiger talisman in front of King Wu and forcibly executed the two concubines of King Wu who were acting promischievably. His cold face, his hard accent, the lifelike head of a beautiful woman on the ground, and the two pools of red and blackened blood all left a deep impression on the husband, who was only a teenager at the time.

And the euphoria.

Even though the Wu people were full of wildness and liked violence, they had never seen such a bold Central Plains people, and it was surprising that the king of Wu, who was quite unhappy at the time, finally appointed Sun Wu and let him train the Wu army.

At this time, Sun Tzu was just like at the beginning, and he didn't say a word in the face of his husband's plea, but walked to Zhuan Boyu's side with a standard soldier's pace.

His voice changed from the softness of the lecture to the shortness and power of the order: "I have an order first, and I am here to listen to my teaching of the art of war, and everything is like a military rule, and those who disturb the hall will receive twenty rods and stretch out their hands." ”

Zhuan Boyu puffed out his eyes and looked up at Sun Wu.

"Reach out!"

Bo Yu looked at Fu Cha again, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he grinned, and reached out to let Sun Wu use a small staff with wooden thorns to hit his palms full of calluses for martial arts twenty times.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

From beginning to end, Zhuan Boyu did not frown, and Sun Wu also fought extremely seriously, with a glance, as if he was really executing a military order.

After more than ten hits, the staff broke!

Sun Wu calmly stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me another one." ”

As soon as the husband waved his hand, the erector at the door trembled and offered it, and then fled in a hurry, in front of Sun Wu, they didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, and the doctor with the Pisces face pattern inside was really bold!

After a lot of fights, Sun Wu said: "Boyu, why don't you like to learn the art of war?" ”

Zhuan Boyu didn't snort, and he raised his head proudly and said: "With the courage of Boyu, the enemy was ten people, and he still couldn't stop me from holding a sword, in this case, why should I learn this complicated trick again!" ”

Sun Wu didn't think so, he sneered with his hands behind his back: "Yong? This is the courage of a horseman, and the enemy is also a one-man person. ”

Bo Yu glared at Sun Wu angrily: "When my father assassinated the royal officials for the king and seized the throne. The grandson is still living in seclusion in the mountains, according to the words of the grandson, this is also the courage of the horseman? ”

This tiger warrior did not dare to get up because of the presence of his husband. I can only raise my head and stare roundly. Wu people are good at using swords, and they are prone to light death, if they change people, I am afraid that Zhuan Boyu would have already pulled out the fish intestine sword on his waist and killed him.

But I heard Sun Tzu continue: "In the past, the son of the sword was ten thousand times, and he stabbed the king. To make great contributions to the king, of course, is for the great bravery; But you only see one of them but you can't see the other, and the assassination of the special son also used the art of war. ”

"And the art of war?"

Zhuan Boyu's face suddenly froze, and when he saw Sun Wu using his deceased father's desperate work as an analogy, he unconsciously listened to it.

Sun Wu used both hands, one for his fist and the other for his palm, to show Fucha and Boyu the subtle way of truth and reality: "Those who are good at mobilizing the enemy army show the enemy army a true or false military situation." The enemy must judge and follow according to this; If the enemy army is given a little practical benefit as bait, the enemy army will inevitably come to the enemy and listen to our mobilization. Anyone who wants to kill people, must first seek their favor, the son made a special trip to Taihu Lake to learn to burn fish, and the king also showed nothing, set up a banquet to treat it, and then hit it to the truth, this is not the art of war, or what? ”

Zhuan Boyu patted his unkempt head and suddenly realized: "There is still such a reason." Boyu never thought of it. ”

Sun Wu glanced at him and said, "You have the small courage of the common people, but you have not learned the real great bravery. If you go to the battlefield, if you still have unkempt hair, protruding hair, a low crown, and a short back garment. It's hard to talk and hit each other forward. Even if the upper can cut off the neck, the lower can cut the liver and lungs, this is also the courage of the horseman, which is no different from cockfighting, once the death is exhausted. It is useless for state affairs, and if you learn the art of war and can lead the crowd bravely, its courage is better than the courage of the horseman! ”

Gradually, the identities of Sun Tzu and Zhuan Boyu returned to the master and apprentice, and the husband was also relieved, Sun Wu just came up with a radical means to deal with the thorns in the army, and then persuaded him in one fell swoop, Boyu will definitely bow down and obey in the future.

However, Fucha also discovered that from beginning to end, Sun Wu avoided the problem of Zhuan Boyu.

The reason for this is clear.

After Sun Wu was reused by the king of Wu and trained the Wu army, he used guerrilla tactics to disturb Chu and fatigue.

Later, it was a stroke of genius, with only 30,000 Wu troops landed in the Huaihe River, thousands of miles to attack the hinterland of Chu, and the battle of Baiju defeated 2,000 chariots and 100,000 troops of Chu. The Wu army broke through the five battles, burned the Su of Gaofu, broke the bell of the Nine Dragons, whipped the tomb of King Chuping, and the palace of Shezhanghua, how great!

If the war ends here, the state of Wu will have a perfect victory.

However, after that, the superior realm of the thirteen chapters of Sun Wu's Art of War, "the soldier who surrenders without a fight" was not implemented after the break. Instead of gathering the hearts of the people in time, Wu inflicted heinous atrocities that provoked the Chu people to revolt.

But Fucha knew that these measures had little to do with Sun Wu, and he was not at the center of Wu's power decision-making circle.

Sun Wu also had a hard time, when Wu Zixu, who was blinded by revenge, was bent on chasing the king of Chu in Yunmengze, the whole people of Chu resisted, Yue Wang Yunchang attacked the rear of Wu, and the Qin reinforcements that Shen Baoxu asked for also arrived. After several defeats, the brother and husband of King Wu also returned to China to claim that the king was infighting, and the opportunity to destroy Chu in one fell swoop was lost. Even the defeated Wu army could not hold on, so it could only retreat and return to China, and the state of Chu was restored.

Sun Wu stroked the small staff that had just been broken in Zhuan Boyu's hand, and secretly planned: "If King Wu can listen to my plan, he will win with it, and keep it; If you don't listen to my plan, you will lose if you use it, then go to it! ”

He was originally disheartened and planned to leave again after the Battle of Poying, but he agreed to continue to stay in Wu after Wu Zixu's efforts to stay.

"Fortunately, the king and Zixu are both people who know their mistakes and can change them, and after quelling the rebellion of Fuxu, they successively married Qi and Song, and then digested the newly captured Xu Land and Huaiyi, and then prepared to continue to use troops against Chu and Yue."

However, Sun Wu also learned a lesson, if King Wu and the soldiers insisted on going their own way, he would leave without hesitation!

"Now the whole Wu array has become famous all over the world, Chu even moved the capital to avoid the edge of Wu, Wu Yue people, customs, and language are the same, there is Wu and there is no Yue, and there is no Wu, as long as the Yue country is swallowed, it will be able to attack Chu in the west and dominate the south, just around the corner!"

……

Two days after the battle of Zhenyi, a meeting of military officials was nearing its end.

Zhao Wuxian sat behind the head of the case, gently touched the Zhenyi Tiger Talisman with his hand, and preached to the commanders: "Governing a large army is as effective as governing a small army, relying on a reasonable organization, structure, and establishment; Commanding a large army to fight is like commanding a small unit to fight, relying on a clear and efficient signal command system. They all went back to think carefully about the process of Zhen's battle, and thought about what else could be improved in the tactics. ”

Everyone agreed, but their serious expressions couldn't hide their joy.

In the battle of Zhen, 19 soldiers were killed and 92 were wounded; The Qi people killed 146 people on the spot and captured 640 people successively. Nine complete chariots, 30 horses, more than 10 chariots, hundreds of spears and halberds, more than 100 pairs of leather armor, and the rest also have siege equipment, grain and straw.

In short, this is a big victory, and with it comes a huge prestige bonus, and the people of Zhen Yi have been obedient since then, and the Zhen family no longer dares to disobey the yang and the yin.

In the end, Zhao Wuxian took out a silk book and said to everyone: "In addition, the Jin army led by the Jin State Central Army will arrive in Zhenyi tomorrow!" ”

……

PS: Because there is no left biography, Sun Wu's life experience is a mystery, and the Internet believes that Sun Wu is Chen Shu, the son of Chen Wuyu, or the grandson of Chen Shu. However, according to Zuo Biography, Chen Shu was still showing up until the Battle of Qi Wu Ailing in 486 BC, more than ten years after Sun Wu disappeared, and was captured by the Wu army, whether he was Sun Wu himself or Sun Wu's grandfather, the logic and timing are obviously wrong...... Therefore, I can only study the "Historical Records. The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qilie", blurred. (To be continued.) )
