(86) Lu Bu skillfully passed through Hangu Pass, and Liu Wei used a plan to descend Yan Ming

Hearing that Fang Yue lamented that his hero was useless, the Empress Dowager He, who had already premeditated, was suddenly surprised: "I can't imagine that General Fang Yue, a good general who is so capable of writing and martial arts, is a little captain, what a condescension!" Fang Yue said hatefully: "Who says it's not, in the eyes of General Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Pang De, and Xu Huang are his descendants, even if it is a rising star like Zhang He and Zhang Junyi, he was entrusted with important tasks as soon as he arrived in the state army, but my Fang Yue served him the earliest and most loyal, but he can only be a watchdog of the state forever!! The more he spoke, the more angry Fang Yue became, stood up and slapped his big hand, and the heavy table suddenly scattered in all directions!

Seeing this, Empress Dowager He hurriedly comforted: "The general whispered! This place is no better than the general's barracks, there are many people around, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds! Fang Yue said angrily: "The Queen Mother Chitose doesn't have to be afraid, although my Fang Yue's official position is low, but in the past few years, my prestige in the left-behind troops in Bingzhou has increased day by day, and now I have thousands of henchmen, all of them have been brought into the team stationed in Luoyang this time. Hearing Fang Yue's words, Empress Dowager He suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, only to see her say to Fang Yue: "General, the mourning family immediately plans to promote you to the ruling Jinwu, and the guards of the commander's department protect the safety of the forbidden palace!" "The position of ruling Jinwu is the same status as Jiuqing, belonging to high-ranking officials, and at the same time holding the military power of the forbidden palace is far from being comparable to a small captain, listening to the Empress Dowager He awarded him the position of holding Jinwu, Fang Yue's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he stammered and asked: "Queen Mother Chitose, what you said is true!" Empress Dowager He nodded and said: "This is natural, the emperor is the biological son of the mourning family, the words of the mourning family are the words of the emperor, don't you still believe the words of the Son of Heaven?" Hearing this, Fang Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The last general will not dare, the last general will thank Tianzi Longen." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Empress Dowager He got up and stepped forward, patted Fang Yue's shoulder meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "General, you must always remember who gave you today's soaring prosperity!" When Fang Yue heard this, he said to the Empress Dowager He gratefully: "My Emperor and the Empress Dowager are a thousand years old, and the last general will always remember that this will take effect to be loyal to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager a thousand years old!" ”

Outside Hangu Pass, three thousand soldiers of the state guard pretended to be Dong Zhuojun, and played the banner of Dong Zhuo's general Li Su to escort Ma Chao's brothers and sisters in front, and the three brothers of Liu Bei were the vanguard and the army drove to Hangu Pass, at this time Niu Fu was leading the army to run back and forth between Wuwei and Jincheng, and there were only a few deputy generals stationed in Hangu Pass, and the generals received reports from the soldiers patrolling the city and walked up to the city together, and Liu Bei shouted at the generals of Hangu Pass: "Under the command of General Li Su, the deputy general Liu De, A few days ago, General Li showed his might and captured the Ma family brothers and sisters Ma Chao and Ma Yunluo on the battlefield, and specially ordered us to escort them to Chang'an and hand them over to General Li Dao to force Wuwei Ma Teng to surrender, please open the city gate quickly. As he spoke, Liu Bei reported Li Sujun's password and took out a handwritten letter written by Li Su. When the adjutant general of the city heard this, he discussed privately: "General Li Su has a very good personal relationship with General Niu Fu, and now that the general is not there, it is not good for us to neglect General Li Su's subordinates, and the other party is here with great merit, since the two armies started the war, our army has suffered heavy defeats one after another, and retreating to Yongzhou is a last resort, if we can force Ma Teng to break away from the allies, then our army's chances of victory will be greatly increased, and we cannot turn the other party away in public or private." Thinking of this, several lieutenants in the city immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Hey, hey, hey, after so many days of just hurrying, my eight snake spears can finally show their skills!" Seeing that the city gate was opened, and the cavalry of Dong Zhuojun of the brigade was rushing towards him, Zhang Fei grinned. When Liu Bei beside him heard this, he scolded in a low voice: "Yi Dexiu wants to make trouble, we should keep in mind what General Pingdong said, and it is the best policy to quickly pass through the Hangu Pass, and we must not cause more trouble." Guan Yu has always been obedient to the words of the eldest brother Liu Bei, but at this moment, when the eldest brother spoke, he said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, don't mess around, or follow the orders of the eldest brother." Zhang Fei saw that the two brothers stopped him, so he had to say helplessly: "That's it, I'll listen to your troubles." But this General Pingdong really has some skills! As he spoke, he rewinded the clock to a few hours ago......

…… On the mountainside, Lu Bu was assigning tasks.

"Meng Qi, Yunluo, I will wronged you later, pretend to be a prisoner to earn the city gate of Hangu." Lu Bu said to the Ma family brothers and sisters. When Ma Chao and Ma Yunluo heard this, they hugged their fists at Lu Bu and said, "Obey." Then, Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, and Yuan Ruonan: "Zilong, Bo Zhan, Ruonan, the three of you are hiding in the carriage with me, most of us have met with Dong Zhuo's subordinates, so you must not appear in front of them later." Speaking of this, Lu Bu turned around and hugged his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Xuan Dejun, it seems that I am afraid that I am going to bother you three brothers this time." Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "We will obey the general's orders." Lu Bu took out a letter from his bosom and said to Liu Bei: "Xuan Dejun, later we will pretend to be Dong Zhuojun's subordinates and Li Su, Li Su has surrendered for less than twenty days, and I have been ordering him to be hidden, thinking that the enemy army in Chang'an will not receive the news that Li Su has been corrected." With that, Lu Bu handed the letter to Liu Bei and continued: "This is a letter I asked Li Su to write to Niu Fu, the guard of Hangu Guan, before leaving, I wanted to come in case of emergency, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon." Listening to Lu Bu's earnest teaching, Zhang Fei couldn't bear to stand up and say to Lu Bu: "General, you are too verbose, I think so, you don't need to take out any letters, I rushed over to Pinghangu Pass alone, you guys, just follow me!" When Liu Bei heard this, he shouted: "Presumptuous! Haven't you ever heard of the decisive victory in the strategizing thousands of miles away, and memorize the beginning of Sun Tzu's Art of War for me. After the eldest brother spoke, Zhang Fei reluctantly stood aside and recited: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The Taoist makes the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with it, they can live with it, and they are not afraid of danger. The heavens, yin and yang, cold and heat, and the time system. The earth, far and near, dangerous, wide and narrow, dead and alive. Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use. All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. Therefore, the school used a plan to ask for its feelings, saying: Who is the master? Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment? That's how I know what to do. will listen to my plan, use it to win, and keep it; They will not listen to my plan, and they will be defeated if they use it, and they will go away. Calculating profit to listen is the momentum of the situation, in order to support it. The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot, used and shown not to use, near and shown far, far and near; Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! I look at it this way, and I can see the victory or defeat. ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "General Zhang is really smart, I don't know if you can understand the deep meaning?" Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this? War is a major matter of the state, and it has a bearing on the life and death of the people and the survival of the country. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively compare the situation of the enemy and us in five aspects to explore the situation of victory or defeat in a war: first, politics, second, time, third, terrain, fourth, generals, and fifth, system. Politics is to make the will of the people and the monarch coincide, and they will die for the monarch in wartime, without thinking twice. The time of day refers to the change of day and night, rain and shine, cold, heat, and seasonal climate. The topography refers to the conditions such as the high valley, the distance of the road, the danger and flatness, and the convenience of advance and retreat. A general is a commander with the qualities of wisdom, integrity, benevolence, bravery, and strictness. The system is the formulation and management of the military system, military law, and military quartermasters. All the five aspects of the situation must be unknown to the generals. Those who fully understand these situations will win, and on the contrary, they will lose. In addition, it is necessary to explore the outcome of the war by comparing the specific conditions of the two sides, that is, which of the two monarchs ruled clearly? Which side is more talented? Which side has the best time and place? Which side has strict military discipline? Which side is stronger? Which side is well-trained? Which side has clear rewards and punishments? Through these analyses and comparisons, it is possible to determine who wins and who loses. If you listen to me, you will win by fighting with your troops, and I will stay. If I don't, the war will be lost, and I'll get out of here. If you think that my military thinking can be accepted, and then the diplomatic creation of a good situation as an auxiliary condition, you will seize the initiative. The so-called situation is to rely on favorable circumstances to formulate a strategy for responding to emergencies. War is a kind of deceit. Therefore, it is possible to show weakness by fighting; to fight, to pretend to retreat; Attack near, pretend to attack far; If you want to attack from afar, you pretend to attack at close range; When the enemy is greedy for profit, he lures him with small profits; The enemy is in confusion and will be attacked; When the enemy's strength is full, it is necessary to be on guard; If the enemy is strong, he will avoid his edge; The enemy is so strong that he tries to disturb it; To humble the enemy is to make him arrogant; The enemy's comfort is to make him weary; If there is harmony among the enemy, it will divide them. In short, attack where the enemy is unprepared, and act when the enemy is not expecting it. This is the secret of a conductor's success, and it cannot be explained in advance. The victory can be expected before the battle is due to careful planning and sufficient conditions; If the war is not started, it is estimated that the certainty of victory is small, and the conditions for victory are few. Those who are well prepared will win, and those who are not well prepared will lose. What's more, there are no conditions at all! If I look at the war based on this, the victory or defeat will be clear. The further he said, the quieter Zhang Fei's voice became, and everyone began to laugh out loud, isn't this clear? The 12 methods of people's sophistry have been clearly stated: planning profit is to listen, but to support it. The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot, used and shown not to use, near and shown far, far and near; Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. Seeing Zhang Fei embarrassed, Zhao Yun finally came out to play a round: "General Zhang is a hero in the world, and there is no one on the battlefield, but the use of this strategy still needs more experience!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted Zhang Fei's memories, and while he was talking, several lieutenant generals from Hangu Pass with a large group of people had come to Liu Bei and the three of them, and the first one hugged his fist at Liu Bei and said: "The last general, Dai Yuan, the guard of Hangu Pass, has seen the general. Liu Bei looked around for a moment and replied, "May I ask where General Niu Fu is?" I have a letter from General Li Su to give to General Niu Fu! When Dai Yuan heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Reply to the general, the two generals Niu Fu and Fan Chou led more than 10,000 troops to drive out three days ago and do not know where to go, and it will not return until more than ten days later, and the general may wish to stay in Hangu Pass for a few days." Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Niu Fu was not in Guanzhong, you must know that among the generals in Liangzhou at the moment, only Niu Fu knows everyone best, so Liu Bei said to the deputy general: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, but Ma Mengqi bravely crowned the three armies, and he has caused us a lot of trouble along the way, so I really dare not disturb the general, and ask the general to convey the letter to General Niu Fu on his behalf, and I will immediately set off to Chang'an!" Saying that, Zhang Fei pushed Ma Chao's brother and sister over: "What are you proud of?" "Dai Yuan was originally from Liangzhou, he had seen Ma Chao's appearance before the two armies, and now that Ma Chao himself was arrested, he confirmed that this group of people was his own people, but when he saw that Ma Yunluo's face was sunk and the goose fell, he immediately couldn't help but want to touch Ma Yunluo's pretty face, who wanted to anger Ma Chao, don't look at him with his hands tied, but how can the power of the four elephants around him be restrained by a rope? Immediately flew up and hit the belly of the war horse under Dai Yuan's crotch, the war horse fell to the ground with a scream, Dai Yuan on his back was defenseless and was also thrown off his face, a group of Dong Zhuojun soldiers immediately surrounded him and raised their spears to stab at Ma Chao, this time it angered the martial saint Guan Yu Guan Yunchang on the side, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand waved in front of Ma Chao's brothers and sisters, but saw a white light flash, and more than ten spears were broken on the ground.

Seeing that the two sides were about to make a move, Liu Bei hurriedly stood in front of the two armies and helped Dai Yuan to salute him: "General don't blame, this Ma Mengqi's natural divine power should not be underestimated, and his subordinates are also worried that there will be some accidents that will affect Xiangguo's plans, but it will not be good." Saying that, Liu Bei handed over a piece of gold, and Dai Yuan was thrown into the mud for no reason, and he was holding back his belly, but as soon as he saw the gold, his eyes immediately lit up, not to mention that Liu Bei moved out of Dong Zhuo again, and he had to give some face, so he immediately got off the donkey and said: "Okay, okay, just let him go on Xiangguo's face, general, go through the customs quickly!" Liu Bei saluted Dai Yuan as if he had been amnestied, and immediately beckoned Guan Yu to lead the way, Zhang Fei was in the center of his palace to comfort Dong Zhuo's generals, and the army slowly passed through Hangu Pass.

Luoyang Ganquan Palace, since experiencing many changes, Empress Dowager He realized that there was no military power in her hands, even if she was in the name of the royal family, everyone respected, but the generals of the state army were fighting, so after Fang Yue's recommendation, the general Li Su became the teacher of the Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei, teaching his art of war and martial arts every day, with the name of the emperor, Li Su was more majestic than when he was in Dong Zhuojun, and the Empress Dowager He also recruited a general through the wine and beauty and the official Jinjue.

Sun Tzu said: Where the method of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, thousands of leather cars are carried, 100,000 armor is carried out, and food is fed for thousands of miles. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers. It also won the battle, the blunt army was frustrated for a long time, the siege was forced, and the long-term violent division was insufficient for the country. If the husband is blunt and the soldiers are frustrated, and the princes take advantage of their disadvantages, although there are wise people who cannot be good at it. Therefore, the soldiers heard it quickly, and they did not see the coincidence for a long time. Those who have been serving for a long time and the country are not there. Therefore, those who do not fully understand the harm of using troops cannot fully understand the benefits of using soldiers. Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the country, and the food is not used for three years, because the food is in the enemy, so the military food can be sufficient. The poverty of the country is far from the teacher, and the people are poor if they are far away; Those who are close to the teacher are expensive, and if they are expensive, the people will be exhausted, and if the wealth is exhausted, they will be anxious to serve. Force, wealth, the Central Plains, the inner void at home, the people's expenses, seven out of ten; Public expenses, broken armies and horses, armor and arrows, arrows, halberds, shields, spears, and carts, six out of ten. Therefore, the wise will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty minutes; One stone for the pole, twenty stones for me. Therefore, those who kill the enemy are angry; Those who take advantage of the enemy are also goods. The car battle gets more than ten cars, and the first winner is rewarded and the flag is more. The car is miscellaneous and multiplied, and the good is raised, which is said to defeat the enemy and become stronger. Therefore, the soldier is expensive, not long. Therefore, the general of the army is the commander of the people. The lord of the security of the country also. "Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty is reciting Sun Tzu's Art of War diligently, since the last time he saw his mother being abused by others in front of his eyes, he was angry and tried to study the art of war. At this time, Li Su nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty is really talented, and in just one hour, you have memorized the Art of War and Combat chapter, I don't know if Your Majesty can understand the meaning." Liu Wei stood up and replied: "Reply to the emperor, I can only roughly understand the meaning, if there is any shortcoming, please ask the emperor to testify." Li Su said: "Your Majesty is clear. ”

Liu Wei took a deep breath and talked eloquently: "Sun Tzu said: To raise troops to fight, the materials that need to be prepared are, 1,000 light vehicles, 1,000 heavy vehicles, 100,000 fully armed soldiers, and transport food thousands of miles away. Then the expenses inside and outside the army in the front and rear, the expenses for entertaining envoys and strategists, the cost of materials such as glue paint for weapon maintenance, and the expenses for maintaining chariots and armor will cost thousands of gold every day. After preparing according to such standards, an army of 100,000 can set off for battle. Therefore, the army requires a quick victory in combat, and if it drags on for a long time, the army will inevitably be exhausted and lose its sharpness. Once the city is attacked, the army will be exhausted, and the long-term war outside the country will inevitably lead to a shortage of national finances. If the army is exhausted by the long battle, the spirit is frustrated, the military strength is exhausted, and the domestic supplies are exhausted, the other princes will surely take advantage of the fire to loot. In this way, even the resourceful have no good plan to save the perilous. Therefore, in actual combat, I have only heard that generals lack high skills and it is difficult to win quickly, but I have never seen a commander who is clever and skillful in protracted combat. There has never been a protracted war that benefits the country. Therefore, without a detailed understanding of the harms of using troops, we cannot fully understand the benefits of using troops. Those who are good at using soldiers do not need to recruit soldiers again and do not need to transport military rations many times. Weapons and equipment were supplied from the country, and from the enemy managed to seize food, so that the army would have enough food and grass. The reason why the country was impoverished by the war was due to the fact that the army went on an expedition and had to carry out long-distance transportation. Long-distance transport inevitably leads to the impoverishment of the population. Prices in the vicinity of the garrison will inevitably soar, and the soaring prices will inevitably lead to the depletion of materials, the depletion of goods, and the inevitable increase of taxes and servitude. On the battlefield, the military is exhausted, the domestic financial resources are exhausted, and the people's private property is depleted by seven-tenths. Sixty-tenths of the property of the public was consumed by the wornness of the vehicles, the exhaustion of the horses, the loss of armour, bows and arrows, spears, shields, ox carts. Therefore, a wise general must settle grain and grass in the enemy's country, and get one minute of grain from the enemy's country, which is equivalent to twenty minutes when it is shipped from his own country, and one stone of fodder in the local area is equivalent to twenty stones when he is shipped from his own country. Therefore, if you want a soldier to fight to the death, you must be angry and motivated. In order for a soldier to have the courage to seize the enemy's munitions, he must be rewarded with captured goods. Therefore, in a chariot battle, the one who grabs more than ten chariots will be rewarded for being the first to grab the chariot. And the captured chariots should be immediately replaced with our flags, and the stolen chariots should be incorporated into our convoy. Do good to your captives and make them obedient. This is how to overcome your enemies and make yourself stronger. Therefore, the most important and advantageous thing in a war is a quick victory, and the most undesirable thing is a protracted one. Generals who truly know how to use troops and know the benefits and disadvantages of using troops control the life and death of the people and control the security of the country. The sonorous and powerful words made Li Su can't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty is really a genius in the world, such a classic but obscure military book is also known to Your Majesty, and I admire it!" But Your Majesty, you have to remember that the way of the art of war lies in the integration of knowledge, the most taboo and dull, do you know that Zhao Kuo? ”

Liu argued: "Isn't it Zhao Kuo who talks on paper? Li Su replied: "King Zhao Huiwen's pawn is filial piety to Wang Li." In the seventh year, Qin and Zhao soldiers were separated by a long distance, and Zhao Hao was dead, and Lin was sick, and Zhao made Lian Po attack Qin and Qin, and defeated Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun without fighting. Qin Shu challenged Lian Po and refused. Between Zhao Wang Xin Qin. Qin Jian said: "Qin Zhi is evil, only afraid of Ma Fujun, Zhao Hao's son Zhao Kuo is the general's ear." "King Zhao is a general. Lin Xiangru said: "The king is like a rubber pillar and a drum (4). The disciples can read their father's biography and do not know the mutation. King Zhao didn't listen to it, so he took it. Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was a child, and he couldn't do anything in the world. It is not difficult to taste the extravagance of his father and the extravagance of military affairs, but it is not good. Kuo's mother asked the extravagance, and the extravagance said: "The place where the soldiers died is also easy to say." If Zhao does not bracket, it will be bracketed, and if it is bound to be broken, the Zhao army will be bracketed. And the general will do his mother's letter to the king, saying, "Kuo cannot make generals." The king said, "Why did he say to him: "When the first concubine served her father, she was given food and drink, and those who ate were counted by tens, and those who were friends were counted by hundreds, and those who were rewarded by the king and the clan were given to the military officials, scholars, and doctors, and did not ask about family affairs on the day they were ordained." In order to turn east and the military officials dare not look up, the gold silk given by the king is hidden at home, and the day is convenient, and the field house can be bought. Why did the king think that his father and son were different, and that the king should not be sent? The king said, "Mother has left me decided." The mother said, "The king will eventually send it, that is, if you don't call it a concubine, you have no concubine to sit down," the king promised. Zhao Kuo is not only incorruptible, but also more restrained and easy to dispose of military officials. The Qin general Bai Qiwen's Zongqi army was defeated and gone, and its grain route was cut off, and his army was divided into two soldiers. More than 40 Japanese soldiers starved Zhao Kuo out of the sharp pawn to fight by himself, and the Qin army shot Zhao Kuo. Including the defeat of hundreds of thousands of people, then surrendered to Qin, Qin Xi, Zhao before and after the death of 450,000, next year Qin soldiers besieged Handan, and the rest of the year can hardly be escaped. The princes of Lai Chu and Wei came to the rescue (13) to relieve the siege of Handan. King Zhao also used his mother's preface to not punish him. ”

"Your Majesty, Yan Ming, the guard of the East Gate, is here." Fang Yue entered the hall to report. Liu Wei smiled: "Please come in yet." Fang Yue retreated when he heard this, and after a while, Yan Ming stepped forward with a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand and said, "The last general, Yan Ming, has seen Your Majesty. Seeing Yan Ming wearing armor and holding the weapon in his hand, Liu Wei was immediately dissatisfied: "General Yan Ming wants to assassinate him?" Yan Ming, who said this, was sweating profusely, and hurriedly threw down his weapon and knelt on the ground and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, it was Fang Yue who ordered the last general to take a weapon to show you martial arts." When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Bastard, how could General Fang, as the ruling Jinwu, not know that he must unload his weapons when he enters the palace to meet the Holy Body." Saying that, Fang Yue rushed in with hundreds of henchmen with weapons in hand, Yan Ming saw this, he didn't dare to say more, he could only kneel on the ground and say: "The crime of the last general, please forgive your majesty." Li Su stepped forward and said to Yan Ming: "General, you now have two paths, first, to be executed for the crime of rebellion and assassination, and second, to swear allegiance to Your Majesty, and from now on break away from the state army and fall under Your Majesty's command." Seeing that there was still a chance to live, Yan Ming hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The last general is willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, and from now on, the last general's life will be Your Majesty's." Liu Wei smiled and said: "Okay, from today on, you are my middle guard, a member of the fourth grade, how about staying with me every inch of the way?" Yan Ming kowtowed: "Obey Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

Fifty miles outside Hangu Pass, Lu Bu and the others changed their clothes and were sitting under their subordinates to rest, everyone saw Lu Bu glancing behind them with a smile, so they all followed Lu Bu's eyes, and saw that not far behind him, Zhao Yunzheng was rubbing Ma Yunluo's wrist distressedly, and asked gently: "Yunluo, does it hurt?" That damn tied so tightly? "Hahaha!" Everyone laughed for a while, which made you and me find that they had become the focus of attention, Ma Yunluo couldn't help blushing, and Zhao Yun scratched his head embarrassedly: "I can't help it, don't be surprised!" ”

Lu Bu waved his hand to signal everyone to stop fighting, and then Zhang Fei came over and asked, "General, what is your plan just now?" It must be a secret! Lu Bu said: "Hide it, it's a secret Chen Cang." When Guan Yu heard this, he came over and said: "Show it to move, benefit it quietly and have the master, "benefit from the movement and Xun". That is, deliberately making a feint in a certain direction of the enemy to attract the enemy's attention, and then taking advantage of the moment that the enemy has decided to hold on to this aspect, quietly detour to another place to carry out a sneak attack. This is what the hexagram of "Yiyi" says about taking advantage of the void and winning by surprise. Liu Bei stepped forward and said: "Due to the **** of the Qin Dynasty, in July of the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against Qin in Daze Township. In September, Gaozu Liu Bang gathered a crowd to respond to the uprising under the support of Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County, and Cao Shen, the prison rafter, and called Pei Gong, and soon Gaozu defected to Xiang Liang. When Xiang Yu led the rebel army and the main force of the Qin army to fight a decisive battle in Julu, Gaozu was sent by King Huai of Chu to lead the rebel team to advance to Guanzhong. In October of the first year of King Han, Gaozu's army entered the hegemony. Prince Ying of Qin surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty fell. Later, Xiang Yu also attacked Xianyang City. Hearing that Gaozu had settled in Guanzhong, Xiang Yu was furious, and he relied on his strong power to proclaim himself the overlord of Western Chu, and named Liu Bang the king of Hanzhong. Xiang Yu was worried that once Gaozu arrived in Hanzhong, he would secretly cultivate his strength and oppose him, so he put him under house arrest in Xianyang City. However, Xiang Yu fell into the trap set by Gaozu's advisors and promised to let Gaozu leave Xianyang City. Along the way, the convoy did not dare to stop for a while, because they were afraid that Xiang Yu would regret it for a while and send troops to catch up. The border of Hanzhong is steep, and the main passage is made of wood, called plank road. At this time, the strategist Zhang Liang offered a plan to Gaozu: "My lord, after we have walked through the plank road, we will burn it, so that we can not only prevent the pursuing soldiers, but also show your determination to never leave Hanzhong." Liu Bang happily adopted: "Okay, let's do it!" So he ordered the plank road to be burned. Gaozu was unwilling to die Qin's victory fruit was monopolized by Xiang Yu, after arriving in Hanzhong, he worked hard, knew people well, paid attention to advice, and could give full play to the talents of his subordinates, with the assistance of several ministers, the strength gradually became stronger. I thought: "The time has finally come to fight with Xiang Yu." So Liu Bang led his army east and launched a four-year Chu-Han War. Liu Bang adopted the strategy of the strategist Han Xin, and before sending out the troops, he ordered the soldiers to build the burned plank road. Xiang Yu's spies discovered this situation and hurriedly reported to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu laughed after hearing this, and said: "Liu Bang is really smart, and he was confused for a while. The plank road was burned back then, and now it has to be rebuilt, how easy it is to say! By the time he is repaired, I will already unify the world. Xiang Yu didn't take Liu Bang seriously at all, he ordered: "Mobilize personnel, horses, prepare grain, grass, and ordnance, and send troops to attack Qi State." Unexpectedly, Gaozu built the plank road on the surface, but it was actually to disturb Xiang Yu's ears and eyes. He secretly sent troops from Chen Cang to attack Xiang Yu's territory. Because Xiang Yu's defenders were unprepared, they were caught off guard by the Han army and retreated. Gaozu took advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy Xiang Yu's territory step by step. In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Liu Bang's army besieged Xiang Yu's army in Qixia (now southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui), and Xiang Yu's soldiers lacked food. At night, Xiang Yu suddenly heard the song of Chu coming from the Han army surrounded on all sides, Xiang Yu was shocked and asked in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Han army has occupied all the Chu land?" In this way, the army's morale collapsed, Xiang Yu led 800 soldiers to break through, and finally felt shameless to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, and killed himself by the Wujiang River. This darkens a series of consequences caused by the old warehouse. ”

Lu Bu responded: "Since ancient times, marching and fighting wars are nothing more than the right time, place and people, Sun Tzu said: The method of using soldiers, there are scattered land, light land, contentious land, handover land, Qu land, heavy land, encircled land, surrounded land, and dead land. The princes fought for themselves in their lands, and they were scattered. Those who do not enter the deep land are light land. I will benefit from it, and Peter will benefit from it, for the sake of the land. I can go, and he can come, for the land. The land of the princes belongs to the three genera, and the one who comes first and wins the people of the world is Qudi. The land that enters the people is deep, and there are many cities and towns behind it, which is an important land. Walking in the mountains and forests, dangers, and frustration, those who are difficult to walk are the land. Those who enter are narrow, those who return from them, and those who can strike at our people are encircled. Those who fight will survive, and those who do not fight will die. Therefore, there is no war in scattered land, there is no end in light land, there is no attack in the land contention, there is no end in the handover of the land, there is no friendship in the Qu land, the heavy land is plundered, the land is encircled, the land is plotted, and the dead land is warned. The so-called good use of soldiers in ancient times can make the enemy not close to each other, the outnumbered and the outnumbered, the noble and the lowly do not save each other, the upper and lower do not collect each other, the pawns are separated but not gathered, and the soldiers are combined but not together. Move in line with the profit, and stop at the point of not the benefit. Dare to ask: "What will happen to the enemy in the future?" He said: "Take what he loves first, and then listen." "The love of the soldier is the main speed, taking advantage of the lack of people, and attacking it from the way of danger. Where to be a guest: in-depth is specialized, the master is not restrained; plundered in the wilderness, and the three armies ate enough; It is unfathomable to be cautious and not to work, and to accumulate strength and transport troops. Throw it into nowhere, die and not go north, die and can't die, and the scholars do their best. If a soldier is trapped, he is not afraid, and if he is not going, he is stubborn. If you go deep, you will be detained, and if you have to fight, you will fight. Therefore, his soldiers do not cultivate and prescribe, do not ask for it, do not make an appointment, believe it without orders, forbid it to doubt, and have nothing to do until death. We have no money to spare, and we are not evil goods; There is no life left, and it is not an evil life. On the day of the order, the soldiers sat on their cheeks. The lying man is in tears. Those who go nowhere, all and the courage of the people. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, such as those who are reckless; Those who are reckless are also the snakes of the mountains. Hit its head and tail will come, hit its tail will be the first to come, and hit it all the way to the end. Dare to ask: "Can a soldier make such a reckless way?" He said, "Yes." "The Fu Wu people and the Yue people are also evil, when they are in the same boat, when they meet the wind, their rescue is also like the left and right hands. It is the old horse buried in the wheel, not enough to be ashamed; If you are brave, the way of government is also; Both rigidity and softness are obtained, and the principles of the earth are also. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, if they join hands to make one person, they have no choice but to do so. The general's business: quiet and quiet, just to rule. It can fool the ears and eyes of the fools, and make them ignorant. Easy to do things, change their strategies, make people ignorant; Easy to live, detour, so that people do not worry. Handsome and periodic, such as climbing high and going to its ladder; Shuai and he went deep into the land of the princes, and took the opportunity, burned the boat and broke the cauldron, if the flock of sheep was driven, driven to, driven to, and driven, I don't know what to do. Gathering the crowd of the three armies and throwing them into danger is also a matter of generals. The changes in the nine places, the benefits of bending and stretching, and the reason of human feelings, must not be overlooked. Where to be a guest: deep is specialized, shallow is scattered. Those who go to the country to cross the border and learn are Jedi; Those who reach the four are also in Qudi; Those who go deep are also heavy on the ground; Those who enter the shallow, the light ground also; Those who have fixed the front pass will also enclose the ground; Those who have nothing to do will die. It is a scattered place, and I will have a will; Light land, I will make it belong; Fight for land, I will follow behind; I will guard the land; Qudi, I will consolidate its knots; Heavy land, I will follow its food; I will enter the ground; Enclosure of the ground, "I will stuff it; Dead, I will show that I will not live. Therefore, the feelings of the soldiers, the siege is royal, the last resort is to fight, and the past is from. Therefore, those who do not know the plots of the princes cannot pay in advance; Those who do not know the shape of mountains and forests, dangers, and frustration cannot march; If you don't use a village guide, you can't get the location. Four or five, I don't know one, and the soldiers who are not overlords are also. If the army of the overlord is defeated, the crowd will not be gathered; If the power is added to the enemy, they will not be able to get along. Therefore, it does not fight for the friendship of the world, does not maintain the power of the world, believes in its own selfishness, and threatens the enemy, so its city can be pulled out, and its country can be conquered. Give the reward of the unlawful, hang the order of the government, and commit the crowd of the three armies, if one is made. If you commit a crime, don't tell it; Do not sue for harm if you commit a crime. Cast into the land of death and then survive, fall into the land of death and then live. The husband is in harm's way, and then he can win or lose. Therefore, the matter of the soldier lies in following the enemy's intentions, and the enemy has always been killing the generals for thousands of miles. It is the day of the old government, and there is no way to make it; Powerful on the Lang Temple, in order to punish it. When the enemy opens and closes, he will rush in. First of what he loves, and then he is in the future. Practice ink with the enemy, to fight a decisive battle. It is like a virgin at the beginning, the enemy opens an account, and then it is like a rabbit, and the enemy can't refuse. Yuan Ruonan shook his head helplessly: "It's Sun Tzu's Art of War again, what's wrong with Feng Xian recently?" ”

Zhao Yun on the side heard this, and stepped forward and said to Ruonan: "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate this Sun Tzu's Art of War, what Brother Shicai said is the essence of the law of using troops in the Nine Places chapter, and the battlefield can be divided into nine categories, such as scattered land, light land, land contention, handover land, Qu land, heavy land, discipline land, encirclement land, and death land. Princes fought against the enemy in their own domains, and such areas were called scattered lands; Entering an area where the enemy's territory is not deep is called light land; I first occupy the area that is favorable to us, and the enemy first occupies the area that is favorable to the enemy, which is called land grabbing; The area where our army can go and where the enemy can come is called Jiaodi; The area bordering the enemy and other vassal states, and the first to arrive can make friends with the vassal states and obtain the majority of support, is called Qudi; The area that penetrates deep into the enemy's territory, and passes through many enemy cities, is called the Heavy Land; Areas where roads are difficult to navigate, such as mountains, forests, obstacles, and swamps, are called mounds; The road to enter is narrow, the road to exit is long, and the area where the enemy can defeat many of our forces with a small number of troops is called an enclosure; If you fight quickly, you can survive, and if you don't fight quickly, you will be wiped out. Therefore, it is not advisable to fight in scattered areas; Do not stay in light ground; In case of contention, the enemy should occupy the land first, and if the enemy has occupied it first, it should not be attacked; At the junction, the deployment of troops should be connected to each other to prevent the enemy from blocking them; In Qudi, it is necessary to make friends with neighboring countries; In the important places, materials should be seized and supplies should be made on the spot; In the land of concubines, it should be passed quickly; If you are trapped in a besieged area, you should devise a clever plan; In the land of death, we must fight swiftly and survive in death. In ancient times, people who were good at commanding and fighting battles were able to make the enemy's front and rear troops unable to take care of each other, the main force and small troops could not rely on each other, the officers and men could not rescue each other, the upper and lower parts were cut off, they could not be gathered, the soldiers were scattered, they could not gather, and even if they were gathered, they were very untidy. Even under such conditions, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of acting when it is advantageous and stopping when it is unfavorable. I asked, "If the enemy is numerous, and they are attacking me in full formation, how should we deal with it?" The reply was: "Seize the enemy's vital points first, and then the enemy will be forced to be at my mercy." "The reason for using troops is to be swift, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, take the path that the enemy does not expect, and attack the enemy's unguarded places. The principle of entering the enemy's country to fight: if you go deep into the enemy's territory, the army will be single-minded, and the enemy army will not be able to defeat us; Seize grain in the fertile areas, so that the whole army can be adequately supplied; Pay attention to the physical strength of the soldiers, do not make them tired, improve morale, and accumulate strength; Deploy forces and scheming so that the enemy cannot guess our intentions. Put the troops in a situation where there is no way out, and death will not be defeated; Since the soldiers are not afraid of death, they will do their best to fight. When a soldier is in danger, he has nothing to fear; If there is no way out, the military spirit can be stable; If you repel the enemy country, the morale of the army will not be weakened; If you have to, you will fight to the death. Therefore, such an army does not need to be repaired, knows how to be vigilant, does not wait to be encouraged, will do its best to fight, will not wait for restraint, can be close to each other, does not wait for orders, and will abide by discipline. Prohibit superstition, dispel the doubts of the troops, and do not retreat even if they die in battle. It is not because our sergeants abandon their surplus possessions that they are disgusted; Not afraid to sacrifice their lives, it's not that they don't want to live a long life. When the battle order was given, the soldiers wet their clothes with tears from their sitting seats, and tears from their cheeks when they were lying. If the army is put in a desperate situation with no way out, it will be as brave as Zhuan Zhu and Cao Di. Therefore, a person who is good at fighting a war with his troops can make his troops look like "recklessness." The so-called "frank" is a kind of snake in Changshan, hit its head, the tail will come to the rescue, hit its tail, the head will come to the rescue, hit its middle, the head and tail will come to the rescue. I asked, "Can we make the army look like a sock?" The answer was, "Yes." "Although the people of Wu and Yue hate each other, when they cross the river in the same boat, they can also rescue each other in case of strong winds, just like a person's left and right hands. Therefore, it is unreliable to stabilize the army by tying horses and burying wheels. To make the whole army work together and courageously, it is necessary to organize and command the law; The best way to make the best use of the terrain is to make the best use of the terrain. Therefore, it is as easy for a man who is good at using the army as it is to use one person, because he puts the soldiers in a situation of last resort. In such a matter as commanding the army, it is necessary to be calm and thoughtful, and to be solemn and organized. It can blind the eyes and ears of the soldiers, so that they are ignorant of military plans; The tactics of war are constantly changing, and the tactics are constantly updated, so that people cannot see through them; The garrison often changed its location and marched through detours, making it impossible to deduce the intention of the movement. The commander gave the army the task of climbing a ladder and pulling it out, so that they could not advance or retreat. Lead the army deep into the land of the princes, and make it move forward like a bend-pointing machine shooting an arrow. Burning the ship and smashing the military cauldron shows the determination to die; Like a flock of sheep, rush over, rush over, so that they don't know where they are going. It is the duty of the general to gather the whole army and put them in a dangerous situation, so that they can fight to the death. According to different regions, different courses of action should be adopted, adapting to the situation, expanding and retracting, and grasping the psychological state of soldiers in different situations. All these are things that the generals cannot but seriously examine and study. The law of fighting deep into the enemy's country is: the deeper you enter the enemy's territory, the more attentive and unanimous the soldiers become, and the shallow you enter, the easier it is for the soldiers to escape. Leaving one's own country and crossing one's neighbors into an area where the enemy is fighting is called a Jedi; The area that extends in all directions is called Qudi; Entering an area where the enemy is deep is called a heavy land; Entering an area where the enemy's territory is shallow is called light land; The area that is narrow after the danger is called the enclosure; Areas with nowhere to go are called Death Land. Therefore, in the scattered lands, I will unite the army with one heart; In the light lands, I will connect the troops; When a place is contested, it is necessary to quickly go out behind it; When I cross the ground, I have to be cautious and defensive; In Qudi, it is necessary to consolidate alliances with vassal states; If the land is heavily populated, it is necessary to ensure the continuous supply of food for the army; brokerage, it must be passed quickly; If you fall into the enclosure, you will plug the gap; When it comes to death, it is necessary to show the determination to fight to the death. The psychological state of the soldiers is that they will cooperate to resist when they are surrounded, they will fight desperately if they are forced to do so, and if they are in a dangerous situation, they will obey the command. He who does not understand the schemes of the princes of the nations cannot associate with them; Those who are not familiar with the terrain such as mountains, forests, dangerous obstacles, and swamps cannot march; If you don't use a guide, you can't get a good place. If you don't understand the interests and disadvantages of the "Nine Lands", you can't be regarded as the overlord's army. The overlord's army, attacking a big country, can make its army and people too late to mobilize and gather; When the power is applied to the enemy, it will make it impossible for them to make friends with other countries. Therefore, there is no need to fight for friendship with other vassal states, nor do you need to cultivate your own power in other vassal states, but you can rely on your own strength and add power to the enemy, and you can take their cities and destroy their countries. Reward beyond the law, give orders that break the rules, and command the whole army as if one person were called. drive the soldiers on a mission without telling them their intentions; Tell them only about the good and not about the harm. Only by throwing the soldiers into the danger can they be saved, and that the soldiers can be killed before they can be lived. The soldiers are in a dangerous situation before they can strive for victory. Therefore, commanding a battle consists in pretending to obey the enemy's intentions and concentrating forces to point at the enemy as soon as an opportunity arises. In this way, even if you drive thousands of miles, you can capture and kill enemy generals. That's what ingenuity means when you can do great things. Therefore, when the decision is made on the course of war, it is necessary to block the passes, destroy the pass symbols, stop the exchange of envoys with the enemy countries, and repeatedly deliberate in the temples to study and decide on the battle plan. As soon as you find that the enemy has a gap to take advantage of, you must quickly take advantage of the opportunity. The first thing is to seize the enemy's most vital places, and not to make an appointment with the enemy. The implementation plan should be constantly changed in accordance with the changes in the enemy's situation in order to win the war. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, we must be as quiet as a virgin, and keep quiet, so that the enemy can relax their guard, and after the war begins, we must act as quickly as a rabbit, so that the enemy has no time to resist. Isn't all this exactly the portrayal of our army at the moment? ”

Yuan Ruonan saw that what Zhao Yun said was in full swing, and immediately pursed his mouth, only to see her summoned: "Yunluo, why don't you come and clean up your general, I hate others to reason with me the most." Suddenly, Ma Yunluo came forward around the sisters, and the two of them made a mess with Zhao Yun. Looking at the distance, Lu Bu was jealous: "Zilong, Zilong, they all say that I have a woman's fate, it seems that your woman's fate is much better than mine!" ”
