Volume 4 The Twin Dragons Chapter 6 The Banner Dies
Bingzhong approached and leaned over to listen, and suddenly heard him say: Wang Zuo said: "Brother don't panic! The younger brother is as kind as a mountain by his brother, and there is nothing to repay." Now I see that my brother is worried day and night because of Jin Bing's long-term invasion of the Central Plains, and now Lu Wenlong is so rampant. Therefore, the younger brother has broken his right arm and sent it to see his brother, and he wants to go to the camp, so he is hereby asked for an order!" "Virtuous brother! For my brother's own good strategy, I can break the golden soldier, why should the virtuous brother hurt himself! Quickly return to the base camp and order the medical officer to deal with it. ”
Speaking of this, Bingzhong looked at the second son of the next class, except for Li Jinzhong, whose eyes were wide and full of relish, the rest of the people only listened to it ignorantly, and they didn't know why. Bingzhong smiled unconsciously in his heart, thinking to himself, Yunfang is the same, teaching such a tragic thing to them at a young age, I don't know why? If I have leisure in the future, I should ask him.
At present, there is gradually some relaxation, there is no war, and there is no food and grass to trouble. Bingzhong and Luo Youneng exchanged news, and the two sides agreed to come to their own camp, and they all had to stop making noise and movement to watch the changes.
Bingzhong believes that it is better to hurry up and fight in his own camp, and inform Ouyang Yunfang that he must not stop the livelihood of the big bird camp, and several big nests must be able to get in touch with the outside finches at any time in order to obtain accurate information. And get the news from Li Zicheng (Zao'er), Zao'er in order to avenge the death of King Yingxiang Lingchi, set up his own door, carried the banner of King Chuang and continued to run around Shaanxi. In July of that year, Yingxiang was defeated in Shaanxi Province (now Zhouzhi) and was captured and sacrificed, and Li Zicheng (also known as Zao'er) inherited the title of King Chuang and fought in southern Shaanxi and northeastern Sichuan. The rebel army was defeated by Zitong and forced to leave Sichuan and go north. From Jianzhou (now Jiange, Sichuan) into Gansu, and then to avoid Ningqiang (now Ningqiang, Shaanxi). June to Hanzhong. At that time, most of the leaders of the peasant army were defeated, but Li Zicheng's peasant army still insisted on fighting. In the winter of that year, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, set up an ambush in Tongguanyuan, and the rebel army suffered heavy losses and lurked in the mountainous areas of southern Shaanxi. Li Zicheng's army was defeated again at Fengjie Yubei Mountain, and in order to avoid the truth, he went to Daning (now Wuxi, Sichuan), Zhushan, returned to southern Shaanxi, and lurked in Shangluo Mountain (now southeast of Shangxian County, Shaanxi) again. In the same year, a serious famine occurred in Henan, and peasants rioted. The rebel army passed through Shangzhou in southern Shaanxi to highlight Wuguan, and then moved to Henan, where the peasants contended to join the prefectures and counties in southwestern Henan. Soon, the scribes Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others successively defected to the rebel army. At the beginning of the year, he went to Luoyang, killed Zhu Changxun, the king of Mingfu, opened a position to help the poor, and the momentum expanded rapidly. After that, he besieged Kaifeng three times, won the victory of Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng, Zhuxian Town, Jiaxian, Runing five battles, and killed Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shaanxi Province, Wang Qiaonian and Yang Wenyue, the governor of Shaanxi, and defeated Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi. The main force of the Ming army was wiped out, the rebel army controlled the whole province of Henan, with nearly one million troops, and other peasant army leaders such as: Yuan Shizhong mostly attached to Zicheng, and Li Zicheng's rebel army became the main force of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the Sichuan-Shaanxi Blue Bird also sent a newspaper to find out about the situation, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang were originally uncle-nephew relationship, (known as uncle-nephew relationship), and later married Gao Yingxiang's daughter Gao Hongxiang as his wife, and now it can be regarded as a banner of revenge for his father. As a result, the generals under Gao Yingxiang had no dissenting intentions, and they had been following Zao'er to conquer the Ming army.
One day the wind and the sun were beautiful, Bingzhong's mood was very good, when he was inspecting the affairs of the camp, he occasionally saw Ouyang Yunfang walking through the barracks, and hurriedly called Ouyang Yunfang and asked with a smile: Yunfang, I heard Yun tell my two sons about Wang Zuo's broken arm that day, but what happened?
When Ouyang Yunfang heard that it was the young general who was calling him, he hurriedly stopped and stepped forward and said: "Young general, I think these two sons are all talented generals. It's just that Wenxiu prefers tactics and offensives, and Jinzhong likes strategy and calculation, each of which is different. So at that time, it was also a whim, and talking about Wang Zuo's broken arm was a strategy rather than a tactic and offensive. So that the two little ones can draw some nutrition and knowledge from these historical allusions.
Well, when I heard you say this, I realized that although they are very young, they must be taught with their hearts, and I think that in the near future, these two people will be successful. Bingzhong nodded as he spoke. Ouyang Yunfang responded beside him, and nodded from time to time.
Oh, by the way, how are my two brothers in the cloud house?
Hey, young general, the Luo brothers are still relatively comfortable and good at listening to your suggestions, but Li Zicheng, the master of Chuang, is as usual, scurrying up and down. has been regarded as the focus by Yang Sichang, thinking that he is like a wooden wedge nailed to the case, which cannot be done if it is not removed.
Oh, in this case, the flying pigeon in a hurry passed the book to Zao'er and asked him to pay attention to it. If he really can't do it, come to me and tell him that life comes first, and he must not go anywhere.
Okay, got it, Major General!" Ouyang Yunfang replied, turning around and going to his big sparrow camp on business.
The autumn season is a good day for rest and training, and with the early examples of helping the peasants to do farm work and repair their houses, it is now natural to collect grass and grain. Secretly, Bingzhong instructed Ouyang Yunfang to start preparing to build weapons, recruit troops, and train soldiers. Bingzhong also often invited people from outside to explain Sun Tzu's Art of War to his team, and combined with the battle examples in the book, summed up the experience and lessons, and quietly waited for the opportunity to prepare for a comeback.
From this group of all the teaching craftsmen, Bingzhong admired Wang Zhaolin and others. Although this Wang Zhaolin looks like a roe eyebrow, he is talented, especially the art of war. Although he has never led a single soldier, he can understand the information of the war examples in the books and the historical situation involved, which is the first way to analyze. He often quoted the words of Sun Wu, the ancestor of the soldiers, and said: War is the most important matter of a country, and it has a bearing on the life and death of the military and the people and the survival of the country. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the probability of victory or defeat in a war through the analysis of the five aspects of the enemy and the comparison of various situations in order to obtain detailed information. One is the Tao, the second is the heavens, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. "Tao means that the monarch and the people have the same goal, have the same will, and can live and die together without fear of danger. Day refers to day and night, cloudy and sunny, cold and summer, and the change of seasons. Land refers to the height of the terrain, the distance of the distance, the danger of the terrain, whether it is flat or not, the breadth and narrowness of the battlefield, and the geographical conditions such as the place of life or death. As a general, the general is resourceful, rewarding and punishing, sincerely caring for his subordinates, brave and decisive, and strict in military discipline. Law refers to the organizational structure, division of responsibilities and powers, staffing, management system, resource guarantee, and material allocation. Generals cannot but have a deep understanding of these five aspects. If you understand, you can win, otherwise you can't win. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the outcome of the war by examining and analyzing the various situations of the two sides and comparing them accordingly. Which side has the right monarch and can win the hearts of the people?" "Which side has more capable generals?" "Which side has the right time and place?" "Which side has more strict laws and regulations?" "Which side has more adequate resources, better equipment, and more soldiers?" "Which side has more well-trained soldiers and more combat effectiveness?" "Which side has more fair rewards and punishments?" Through these comparisons, I can know the victory or defeat myself.
When a general listens to such a strategy, and appoints him to victory, I will keep him, but if the general does not listen to my strategy, he will be defeated, and I will dismiss him. We have followed the tactics that are conducive to defeating the enemy, and we have also created a situation that will serve as an external condition for assisting our military operations. Momentum means that we should adopt different corresponding measures according to the specific situation in accordance with the needs of our side to establish superiority and seize the initiative in war. Fighting with soldiers is deceit, and the method of action lies in variability. Therefore, one who has the ability but pretends not to be able to do so, and when he actually wants to attack, he pretends that he cannot attack, and when he wants to attack a near place, he pretends that he will attack a distant place, and when he attacks a distant place, he pretends to attack a near place. If the other party is greedy for profit, he will tempt him with interests, the other party will take advantage of the chaos to attack him, the other party will be strong to guard against him, the other party can use irritable and irritable to provoke him to anger and lose his mind, when the other party is inferior and cautious, he will be proud and arrogant, when the other party is full of physical strength, he will be tired, and when the other party is intimate and united, he will sow discord, attack the other party's defenseless places, and launch an attack at the time when the other party does not expect. These are the tricks of military strategists to defeat the enemy, and they should not be passed on to others first.
If, after careful analysis, comparison, and planning, before the battle, the conclusion is that our side occupies many favorable conditions and there is an 8 or 90 percent chance of victory, or if the conclusion is that our side occupies few favorable conditions and only 6 or 70 percent of the victory is certain, then only in the former situation can we win in actual combat. If we simply do not make a thorough analysis and comparison before the war, or if the conclusion of the analysis and comparison is that our side has only less than 50 percent chance of victory, then it is impossible to win in actual combat. Based on the results of the temple calculations alone, the victory or defeat is obvious without actual combat.
It is necessary to take the facts in five aspects as the key link and discuss the situation of victory or defeat in a war by concretely comparing the basic conditions of the two sides: first, "Tao," second, "heaven," third, "earth," fourth, "general," and fifth, "law." The so-called "Tao" is to politically make the people and the monarch ideologically consistent, so that the people can share life and death with the monarch, and swear to serve their lives without two hearts. The so-called "day" is the climate of cloudy and sunny, cold and heat, and the law of the replacement of the four seasons. The so-called "land" refers to the distance of the journey, the steepness or ease of the terrain, the breadth and narrowness of the battlefield, and whether it is a place of death or a place of life. The so-called "generals" are to see whether the generals have the five qualities of wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage, and strictness. The so-called "law" is just to see how the generals face the law of battle.
