711, a soldier who surrenders without a fight? Bullshit (Part I)
A few days later, Jingwen came to the teaching and research room of the Datang Military Academy and saw about seventy or eighty cadets here. Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Datang Military Academy, it is impossible for all of them to come together. The only ones who can come over now are those elites from the military academy. For example, those who are the second generation of officials and the third generation of officials, and there are also some elites from ordinary poor families. They all came to find Jingwen's bad luck this time, after all, Jingwen bragged that this theory of war is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War, and this is probably a bit of a misdemeanor. Therefore, they all want to refute Jingwen's war argument as useless. Of course, although they think that this theory of war is good, it does not mean that they can agree that it is no less than Sun Tzu's book on the Art of War.
A lot of times, stereotypes are very stubborn. Sun Tzu's Art of War is already the world's first art of war in everyone's hearts, and it is naturally impossible to accept that the Art of War written by a so-called newcomer can become a book no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War. It's like someone slandering a god in front of a religious believer, and it's simply unforgivable. So although Jingwen is the sacrificial wine of the Tang Military Academy, they can't accept Jingwen's very loud statement.
"Class!"
"Stand up!"
"Hello sake priest!"
According to Jingwen's regulations, before each class, the cadets must first salute the teachers of the military school. Although they came to find Jingwen this time, they couldn't break this rule. Therefore, they all had to salute Jingwen.
"Okay, what have you learned lately, you can ask me. I can do my best to help you out, do you have any questions? Jingwen asked.
Soon, those students also raised their hands, obviously wanting to give Jingwen a bad luck. And Jingwen saw that Chai Jing was also here, and took the initiative to invite Chai Jing up, because after all, she was the only girl, of course she had to take care of her!
"Sacrificial wine. Recently wrote this book on war, huh? Chai Jing asked.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Jingwen asked.
And Chai Jing also asked: "That sacrificial wine, do you say that this book of war is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War?" ”
And Jingwen can only say: "Sun Tzu's Art of War is the pinnacle of strategy, and mine is the pinnacle of strategy, who do you say is higher?" ”
Jingwen means that the two are not the same at all, so they cannot be compared at all. It's like a person who writes a physics book and a person who writes a novel, can the two be compared vertically? Obviously, it is impossible for these two to be able to compare them side-by-side. So it doesn't make sense at all in comparison.
Later generations recognized that Sun Tzu's Art of War focused on strategy, while the theory of war focused on combat, so there was actually no comparison between the two, and they both stood at the pinnacle of the two aspects. In fact, it is very wrong to insist on comparing them. There is no comparison between the two at all, they both stand at the pinnacle of their respective fields, and cannot be used for longitudinal comparison. Jingwen also used these words to sue everyone. I just compared this theory of war to the pinnacle of strategy, rather than competing with Sun Tzu for the pinnacle of strategy.
However, this is enough to make everyone talk. Because Jingwen's words also mean that the theory of war has reached the pinnacle of a field, that is, the pinnacle of strategy. And everyone can't imagine it for a while. What is the difference between strategy and strategy?
"Sacrificial wine, what is a strategy? What is Strategy? Chai Jing asked.
Jing Wen immediately explained: "Strategy is the art of using various means to maximize the use of spiritual and material power to achieve the desired goals and effects. That is, the use of stratagem to make soldiers and various weapons and equipment achieve their desired ideas. For example, the annihilation of the enemy. Or to capture the city. In other words, Sun Tzu's soldier who surrenders without a fight is the highest embodiment of strategy. ”
"And the theory of war. That is, it is more of a strategic bias. Strategy is to conduct actual battles, and strategy does not pay attention to what to avoid war as much as possible, but rather to face difficulties and defeat the enemy as much as possible. The theory of war is to defeat the enemy as much as possible to win, to force the other side to submit to his will. You can look at the introduction and the first part of the theory of war, which has an insightful explanation of the essence of war. If you still don't understand, you can ask me. Jingwen said.
But Chai Jing immediately said: "Sacrificial wine, then you still say that yours is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Sun Tzu pays attention to the soldiers who hope to surrender without a fight, and Sun Tzu also said that the law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. ”
Chai Jing began to drop her book bag, but Jingwen didn't think so. The meaning of this sentence is that Sun Tzu mentioned that it is best to be able to use the highest means to force the enemy to surrender. As a general, it is best to force the entire army of the other side to surrender. In other words, winning a hundred battles is not the best, but the best way is to force the other side to surrender without fighting. This is the highest level of strategy, but Jingwen really disagrees with this approach.
Many people in ancient China pursued this, but how many people could really do this kind of thing? If it is really possible to surrender the army without a fight every time, then what war is there? Therefore, although Jingwen agrees with the soldiers who surrender without a fight, for him, a later generation, he does not dare to agree. It is too difficult to surrender without a fight, and it is almost impossible to do. Didn't Sun Tzu also have to go through a war to defeat the Chu State back then? A soldier who surrenders without a fight requires too many conditions and is not universal.
To use an Internet term, it's too lofty, and ordinary people really can't do it. And desperately pursuing a soldier who surrenders without a fight is extremely stupid. A soldier who surrenders without a fight can only do it in a few cases, that is, when he has an absolute advantage. I have to say that Sun Tzu's words have killed many people, and this sentence is not universal. If it does not have universal applicability, it is destined to be high and low. Therefore, in fact, Jingwen does not think that Sun Tzu's Art of War is suitable for everyone to read. And it is precisely this sentence that has put China in a dangerous situation of heavy planning and light power.
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight? That's bullshit! Jingwen suddenly scolded.
And this sentence suddenly exploded, and obviously there was a lot of discussion about Jingwen's words. (To be continued......)
