Chapter 208: Heavy Conspiracy (2)
"Your Majesty, the prince is planning lightly, but he is going to lose the country!" Li Junxian said in an astonishing voice.
Li Junxian's words surprised everyone present, because they didn't expect Li Junxian to say such a thing. It is the first time that Li Junxian has used the metaphor of the death of the country, and this matter is very serious. If it were someone else, I'm afraid Li Shimin would have overturned the table a long time ago. But since it is Li Junxian, Li Shimin still plans to talk about it patiently.
"Jun Xian, what do you mean by heavy conspiracy and light force? Also, why did the heavy scheming and light force lead to the destruction of the country? Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, emphasizing strategy over force, that is, attaching importance to strategy and despising strength. The prince said just now that as a general, the most important thing is strategy. If he were just a general, I wouldn't say anything. But he is the prince, but also the prince, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you are an emperor, you think so, then the country is in danger. Li Junxian said.
"Is it dangerous?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.
Li Junxian organized the language in his heart and said immediately; "Your Majesty, actually, I am not in favor of using too much strategy in war. Instead, I'm in favor of using decent fighting in war, where strategy is something that doesn't work on the table. ”
"What? How can you see the strategy so clearly? A good strategy can be used as an army of hundreds of thousands, is it useless? Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, you think that the main thing in a war is to win by strategy, but I think that the war is won by real strength. It's a pity that this kind of real strength win is rarely paid attention to. History is all about those who win by ingenuity, so many people are misled into thinking that strategy is the most important thing. Li Junxian said.
Li Chengqiangen Li Junxian bowed and said, "Teacher, isn't the art of war also about the art of war, the second is to fight the enemy, and the second time is to fight the army?" So, the best thing is to compete in strategy, not soldiers? ”
Li Junxian shook his head. History is like this, always recording those things that seem good. In the wars of history, the ones that are really written about are those battles that are won by some ingenuity, but those that defeat the weak enemy with a dignified army. It is not valued by history, so many people mistakenly think that strategy is the most important. However, it is very dangerous to develop the idea of overpowering.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, any strategy must be based on strength. Without strength, no strategy can be executed. Let me give you an analysis of the Tian Ji horse race, right? If it weren't for the fact that Tian Ji and King Qi Wei's horses were about the same strength, I am afraid that Tian Ji would not be able to return to the sky. If Tian Ji's top horse was worse than King Qi Wei's medium horse, what would be the consequences? I'm afraid Tian Ji still won't be able to win, right? Li Junxian explained.
"If you value strategy, but in the end, it is the improvement of strength. This strength includes the country's financial resources. There is also the combat quality of the soldiers, as well as the abundance of ordnance, food and grass. Even, it is whether the weapons and equipment are superior to the enemy, and whether the tactics are advanced. ”
"It's ridiculous to think that you can defeat your enemy by using a few tricks on the battlefield. Just think of Cao Cao in the Battle of Red Cliffs. Although he was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, what could he do? Cao Cao was still the overlord of the north, while the Sun-Liu coalition was only surviving in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the importance of strength. Cao Cao is the strongest, and even if he loses the battle of Red Cliffs, he can still rely on his strength to maintain it. If you lose a soldier, it's a big deal to re-recruit. If Cao Cao defeated the Sun-Liu coalition army, Cao Cao would dominate the world. The second grandson Liu allied forces defeated Cao Cao. That is, to linger. Later circumstances also showed that although the Sun-Liu coalition army won a temporary victory in the Battle of Chibi, the final victory still belonged to the north. ”
"At that time, the north had more than 70 percent of the world's population, while the south had only 30 percent. The north has most of the iron ore, so there is no shortage of ordnance in the north. The lack of steel in the South is relatively small. That's a lot harder. The north has the Central Plains, and the grain production is even more abundant, so there will be no shortage of anything, and you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind. However, the south is constantly fighting infighting, which is just consuming strength. ”
"What's more. Shu still has Zhuge Liang, a person with insufficient strategic thinking, who is obviously very poor in Shu, but he still has to take the initiative to go on a northern expedition. The result of the Northern Expedition was to constantly fight for his strength, but Cao Wei did not suffer much loss at all. In the end, the Jin Kingdom, which had inherited the recuperation for decades, swept away the Shu Kingdom and the Wu State in one fell swoop and dominated the world. ”
After listening to Li Junxian's words, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian immediately understood that if their strength was insufficient, even if they won a temporary victory, they would still fail in the end. This is the case of the Three Kingdoms period of Wei, Shu and Wu, even if Zhuge Liang Zhi is close to demon, but what can be done? If the strength is insufficient, even the gods will not be able to return to the sky! Strategy can achieve a temporary victory, but it cannot achieve a long-term victory. If the strength is strong, first of all, you will be able to be invincible, and the enemy will not be able to break the muscles and bones no matter how you fight the jungle.
At that time, during the Three Kingdoms period, the strength of the south was inferior to that of the north in all aspects, and this was the result of their doom. The same has been true since ancient times, the south often can't beat the north, and can't avoid the end of destruction. This is the strength of the north, the population and resources in all aspects are abundant, and it is difficult for the south to resist. This is the embodiment of strength, and it is definitely not the reason that the regime in the north has preferential treatment from heaven.
"However, master, Sun Tzu's Art of War also said that the first time to fight and plot, the second time to fight and fight, and the last time to fight against the army, do you still want to refute Sun Tzu's words? Sun Tzu is my Chinese soldier saint, he said that war should be won by strategy, why do you say that you win by strength? Isn't this a big gap with Sun Tzu's words? If Sun Tzu's words are wrong, can he still become a soldier saint? Li Chengqian still asked unwillingly.
Li Chengqian is still clinging to this Sun Tzu's Art of War, I don't know how to explain it to Li Junxian? Chinese are superstitious about authority, and dare not deny the words of authority, and now Li Junxian has realized it. Let's not talk about whether Sun Wu is heavy on plotting lightly, but just seeing Li Chengqian holding this Sun Wu to refute himself, it made Li Junxian feel helpless for a while. Sun Wu is China's military saint, and if Li Junxian doesn't answer well in one sentence, then I'm afraid he will be discredited.
