Chapter 85: History Repeats Itself
After all, in the case that people do not pay voluntarily, the method of resigning fortune to fate by drawing lots is the best, the fairest, and the most convincing. Although it seems to be quite unreliable.
If you want to talk about this lot, it does have a long history, and it has also influenced the direction of the country's history many times. It belongs to the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people of China, or the sublimation of the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people.
What is Wisdom? This is wisdom, being able to solve problems in a way that no one can offend, and this is why the Chinese people have this kind of wisdom.
If you want to say that the best representative of this lot, it is not Liu Penzi in the Han Dynasty. This uncle is a well-known figure in the world of lots. First of all, he was an emperor, and secondly, he was an emperor who won by drawing lots.
Do you think this is an absolute legend? You must know that in Huaxia, of course, in ancient China, there is no one in the world who is more noble than the emperor, and the emperor is the pinnacle of human beings. That's really an unattainable existence, and it's an existence that many people have squeezed their heads, and even ruined their own families.
However, it is such a hot and noble status that everyone is eager to see, but there is such a time that it is determined by drawing lots. I have to say that this is really a legend.
Lao Hei took the chopsticks from the pony's hand, squinted at He Qi and said, "What are you thinking in your mind?" Let Lao Tzu return the shoes to you? Look at you beautifully, you are stupid? Give the shoes back to you, and if you return them, you can't afford to throw them again? ”
He Qi angrily grabbed Lao Hei directly with his hands, and Lao Hei dodged flexibly, until he hid in a place that He Qi could not touch on the bed, and then stopped, and did not forget to make another grimace for He Qi, specifically and deliberately angry with He Qi.
He Qi pretended not to be angry, and since he couldn't catch Lao Hei, he had to lie down on the bed again and ignore him. There are only two ways to deal with the shameless Lao Hei, one is to have an IQ like Dong Allen that makes Lao Hei helpless. The other is to have the ability to ignore him at the right time. Otherwise, with Lao Hei's shameless superlative, it will only make him more and more troublesome.
Sure enough, when Lao Hei saw He Qi lying down, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, so he instantly felt interested, and he didn't have the fun of arguing with He Qi, but found a slipper again, and threw He Qi's one to him again.
"Forget it, Master Lao Tzu has a lot, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."
He Qi smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and didn't look at Lao Hei, but just stretched out his hand, waved it twice, and signaled, "Thank you." ”
"No thanks." Lao Hei pursed his lips, and he was not surprised by He Qi's gratitude without gratitude.
He Qi smiled proudly, people are like this, no matter how strong he is, or how fragile he is, he has an important weakness there, as long as you find it and can make full use of this weakness, then you can be invincible.
The Art of War: Knowing its weakness and attacking it, it is invincible. That's what it means. When faced with an enemy, especially a powerful one, people tend to be afraid, will retreat, and will bow their knees in surrender without a fight.
But people really don't have to do this, not only when they have to face a strong enemy, but also when they are facing great difficulties, they must also be calm and calmly analyzed, because whether it is an enemy or a difficulty, they all have their weaknesses, as long as you can grasp this weakness, then you can win with one blow.
Just like during the chaos of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Shimin, who was only the king of Qin at that time, was ordered by his father Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, to march east to Luoyang. Li Shimin led the army to fight Wang Shichong outside Luoyang City for several colds, and there were mutual injuries, and there were several times when Li Shimin was on the line of life and death, and he was close to death.
But Wang Shichong's life in Luoyang was even more sad, Wang Shichong could block Li Mi and Wagangzhai, but he was really not the opponent of Li Shimin, the proud son of the sky.
Therefore, Wang Shichong, who felt that Luoyang could not be defended, had to ask for help from his former enemy Dou Jiande. This Dou Jiande was the first prince of Tianzi at that time, and he owned the entire Hebei region, and his troops and grain and grass were extremely sufficient. Therefore, Wang Shichong believes that as long as Dou Jiandeken agrees to rescue, then his crisis will definitely be solved.
In fact, because of his absolute military strength, Dou Jiande was also a huge military pressure on the Tang Army. So when Dou Jiande decided to raise troops to rescue Wang Shichong, the entire Tang army was very panicked.
At that time, not only did Li Shimin's generals ask Li Shimin to withdraw his troops and return to China, but Li Yuandu, who was far away in Chang'an, ordered Li Shimin to withdraw his troops. However, Li Shimin, who is the pride of the sky, has other plans.
He calmly analyzed, thought carefully, and believed that the enemy was at present, and retreating without a fight was also irresponsible for the entire battlefield. Moreover, if Luoyang is about to fall, if the army is withdrawn at this time, after Luoyang recovers, it will be necessary to pay a great price if he wants to conquer it, which will also seriously slow down the pace of the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world, so Li Shimin decided to attack.
However, because of the limited number of troops, Li Shimin could only draw 3,000 troops to meet the enemy in addition to the troops besieging Luoyang. Li Shimin's strength was 3,000, while the enemy's Dou Jiande's strength was as high as 100,000!
The number of people is as high as 33 to 1! This difference in numbers is only comparable to the comparison of Liu Xiu's strength in the Battle of Kunyang against Yan You during the New Dynasty.
Although there was a huge disparity in numbers, Li Shimin was not intimidated by the strength of the enemy. On the contrary, Li Shimin is more courageous and diligent.
First of all, Li Shimin, in order to take advantage of the geographical advantage of the gun battle, the handsome soldiers first occupied the dangerous Hujiao Pass in the east of Luoyang. By the time Dou Jiande led his troops, Li Shimin had already occupied the Tiger Pass, and Dou Jiande had no choice but to order his men to attack the city.
But not long after the siege, Dou Jiande led his troops to retreat, and it was this battle that made Li Shimin keenly aware of Dou Jiande's weakness.
His weakness is that his will to fight is not resolute, because as long as his will to fight is resolute enough, with 100,000 troops, he will definitely be able to capture the Tang army that is still unstable in Hugao Pass in one fell swoop.
But they didn't, but chose to attack a little, and when they saw that they couldn't fight, they retreated, and it was this that doomed Dou Jiande to failure.
It's often said that you can win for a hundred reasons, but if you have one reason to lose, then you're going to lose!
At this time, Dou Jiande is like this, he has a hundred reasons to win, he has a large number of soldiers, strong soldiers, and he is also a generation of heroes, while his opponent Li Shimin is a stunned young man, and his troops are extremely thin.
