Although the "General Essentials of the Martial Classics" is a work of military scholars, in some respects, the quotations of the "General Essentials of the Martial Classics" are actually very problematic. Or that this kind of example is a bit confusing, or completely contrary to the mainstream historical narrative.

For example, Qin Wang Jian sent 600,000 soldiers to attack Li Xin and attack Jing. When Jing heard that Wang Jianyi's army was coming, he learned that the soldiers in the country were in order to resist Qin.

Wang Jian Zhi, defend the wall, and there is no war. Jing Bing counted out the challenge, but he didn't come out. Wang Jian took a break and washed and ate well, followed it, and ate with the soldiers. After a long time, Wang Jian asked: "What is the drama in the army?" and said: "Fang throws stones from the distance." So, Wang Jian said: "The soldiers can be used!" Jing Shu challenged but Qin did not come out, but led to the east. Jian Yin raised troops to chase after him, and ordered the strong man to attack him and break the Jing army.

It doesn't seem like there's much of a problem from this example, but what is the meaning of "attacking Li Xin"? Does it mean that Li Xin was the general who rebelled against Qin and not the brother of Changping Jun?

Ahem, in the face of this matter, Zhang Jiashi could only say one sentence: "Xiang Yan, you hit the wrong person, and Brother Chang Wenjun is your enemy...... 66666”

Excluding this situation, Zhang Jiashi himself has to think that most of the battle examples in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" are relatively normal.

......

Han Zhao Chongguo attacked Xiqiang, to Jincheng, wanted to cross the river, feared to be covered by Kou, and sent the three schools to cross first. Will be clear, and the time will be crossed. Kou thousands of horses rode in and out of the army, and Chongguo said: "Our soldiers and horses are tired, and they can't be driven." This is all horsemanship, difficult to control, and I am afraid to tempt me. And the attack is extinguished for a period of time, and small profits are not greedy. "Order the army not to attack, send the cavalry Hou to look at Shaanxi, and die. Summoning the school, Sima said: "I know that Qiang Kou cannot be a soldier. "Chong the country often takes the distant scouts as the business, the line must be for war preparation, and the end must be a strong wall, especially to be heavy, love the soldiers, plan first and then fight. Kou Hao reprimanded each other and said: "Yu Ru is dead, now General Zhao is here, he is good at being a soldier, and he wants to die in a fight, but he can get it!" Dao is narrow, and the country is driven away. Or it is said that it is late to pursue profits, and the country is full of words: "This poor man cannot be forced." If you slow down, you will go away, and if you are in a hurry, you will die. The schools said, "Good." Kou went to the water and drowned hundreds of people, and then he actually fell to him.

Cao Gongxi conquered Ma Chao, Han Sui and Chao and others were caught in the middle of the army, sent a letter to make peace, but the public did not allow it, and several challenges were not allowed. Please cut the land, ask for the son, use the public plan, and falsely allow it. Then I asked to meet with the public, so I handed over the horse language, and the public and the book. The battle of Keri, the super waited, the generals asked the public, and the public said: "I fought with Ma Chao and Han Sui, which was invincible, and the weak crossing of Wei was a strong base, and the thief did not come out, so he was arrogant." Therefore the thief does not seek to be ceded for the sake of the stronghold. I promised it as I pleased, so I made myself safe and unprepared. Because of the strength of the soldiers, once it is hit, the so-called thunder is too late to cover the ears. The change of soldiers is not the same. Shu Zhuge Liang led the crowd out of Weinan, but the Wei general Sima Yi refused. Liang divided the troops into Tuntian as the foundation of the long-term station, so that the ornament of the women was made to provoke Yi. Yi repeatedly asked for war, Wei made Xin Bi hold the festival, not allowed to fight, the six armies are all suppressed, quasi-Bi Festival, do not dare to violate.

After the Tang Dynasty, Li Sizhao guarded Luzhou, tasted the generals, ascended to the city of Zhang Le, for the Liang army to hit its feet, the heirs Zhao secretly pulled it, sat in the guest and did not feel it, drank as before, and took peace of mind.

Defeat if you are a light enemy:

Jin Taokan is the history of Jingzhou thorn, and the town is Wuchang. Shi Xin broke Du Tao, took advantage of the victory to attack Du Zeng, and had the color of light Zeng. Kan Sima Lu Tian said to Kan: "The ancients fought wars, and they expected their generals first. Now the kings and generals are not as good as the once, and it is not easy to force. "If you don't obey, you will march to the stone city. When the Zeng army rode more, and the Kan soldiers had no horses, Zeng Mi opened the door and went out of the Kan formation, counterattacked its back, the Kan division was defeated, and hundreds of people died in the water.

Zhu Xu Zhen Xiangyang, Fu Jian sent Fu Pi and Shi Yue to attack it, and the north was the second. The preface is based on Qin Wuzhou, and he does not think it is dangerous.

Shi Yue then traveled to the horse, and was afraid to defend the city. Yue captured Waiguo and obtained more than 100 ships to help the army. After repeated battles, the Qin soldiers retreated, and the order was not equipped. Supervising Ji Bo to protect the secret payment to Qin, for the internal response, Pi Sui Ke Xiangyang, and send it to Chang'an.

Xie Yan was too punctual for the meeting, Sun En was in trouble, and Yan was not equipped with equipment. En flooded to the mouth of the river, into Yuyao, broke Shangyu, into Xingpu. Yan sent Liu Xuanzhi to join the army to defeat it. In the few days, the officers and troops lost, and they marched forward with the victory, and the people were shocked. It is advisable to be strict and prepared, and set up a naval army in Nanhu, and divide the troops to set up an ambush to wait for it. Yan didn't listen. When the thief arrived, he had not yet eaten, so Yan said: "You must destroy this thief first and then eat it." "Straddle the horse. Guangwu General Dan Bao was the forward, destroying the front and killing many thieves. And the pond road is narrow and narrow, the Yan army runs forward, the thief shoots it in the ship, the front and back are cut off, and Yan to the Qianqiu Pavilion is defeated. Zhang Meng, the governor of Yan's tent, cut off Yan's horse in the back, Yan fell to the ground, and his two sons Zhao and Jun were killed, and Bao also died.

Detect the enemy and escape:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin attacked Jin and took the horses. Jin Shi Yuzhi, go to war, and hand over Sui. Qin Xingren said at night: "The soldiers of the two armies have not met, please see each other tomorrow." Doctor Jin said: "The envoy's eyes are unrestrained, and he is afraid of me, and he will escape." The Bo Zhuhe will be defeated. Xu Shen and Zhao Chuandang shouted at the military gate: "The dead and wounded are not collected and abandoned, and it is not beneficial." Do not wait for the period and thin people in the narrow, no courage. "That's it. Qin Shi escaped at night.

Jin Shi is fighting Qi, Qi Hou is afraid of the public, and Qi Shi is fleeing at night. Shi Kuang said: "The sound of the black bird, all the teachers escape." Xing Bo said: "There is the voice of the class horse. Shu Xiang said: "There is Wu in the city, and the teachers are all gone." ”

Wei Sima Yi's handsome division refused Zhuge Liang in Weinan and held each other for more than 100 days. Liang died in the army, and the army retreated, and the people rushed to report, and Yi chased after him. Liang Changshi Yang Yi formed a formation against the flag and beat the drums, if he will be to Yi. Yi Nai retreated, not daring to force. After two days, he walked his camp and said: "The genius of the world is also." "It's a chase. There are many tribulus terrestris in Guanzhong, and Yi makes 2,000 sergeants move forward on soft wood flat-bottomed wooden shoes, and the tribulus terrestris is fully tracked, and then the horses march. Retreat to Chi'an, only to know that Liang died and heard about it. The people proverbed: "Death Zhuge walks away from life." Yi smiled and said: "I am expected to live, and it is inconvenient to expect death." "After Zhou Qi, Wang Xian was a teacher. but burned dung soil and went away. Gao Qi looked at it, and knew that it was empty on the second day.

Don't stop when you return to the teacher:

Cao Cao surrounded Zhang Xiu, and Liu Biao sent troops to rescue the embroidery, so as to kill the army. Cao will lead back, embroidered soldiers come, Cao army is not allowed to enter, the company camp is a little ahead, to Anzhong. Embroidery and watch soldiers to guard the danger, and the army is attacked before and after. Cao is the night to dig the danger for the tunnel, know the baggage, set up strange soldiers. Huiming, embroidery is a retreat, and the army is chasing. It is a surprise soldier, a cavalry attack, and a big break. Xun said: "Capture me and return to the teacher, and fight with me to the death, is to win with knowledge." "Song Jianwu Chu, Wei Wei Zhongli. Zhang Xintai was the military master and came to the rescue with Cui Huijing. And the Wei army retreated to Yangzhou, with more than 10,000 soldiers, and asked for 500 horses to lose the false road. Huijing wanted to cut off the road to attack it, Xintai said that Huijing said: "Don't stop returning to the teacher, the ancients were afraid of it." Soldiers are in the place of death, and they should not be taken lightly. "Hui Jing has heard it.

Don't Attack the Dead:

Han Han Xin attacked Zhao, so that 10,000 people went first and went out of the water array. Zhao Jun saw it and laughed. Pingming, the general of Xinjian was in full swing and walked out of the well. Zhao Kaibi hit it, for a long time, the letter went on the water, and the army fought to the death and could not be defeated. Then he broke the Zhao army and captured Zhao Wang Xie. The generals asked the letter and said: "The art of war: the right back mountain mausoleum, the front left water." Today, the general ordered the ministers and others to carry back the water array, what kind of trick is this?" The letter said: "This is in the art of war, and Gu Zhujun does not pay attention to it. The art of war does not mean that the place of death is born after the fall, and the place of death is left behind, and it is believed that it is necessary to follow the doctors, and this so-called driving people to fight is also. It is not a place of death, and it makes everyone fight for themselves. That is, with the place where they were born, they all go, and they would rather use it?" all the generals said: "It is not within reach." "Houliang Lu Guang sent his second son Shao to cut down Duan Ye, and Nanliang Bald Wu Gu sent him to save Lu Gu and Yang Rail. Shao Yiye and other military prosperity, want to carry the mountain east from the Sanmen Pass. He said: "Showing weakness by holding on to the mountains is the way to defeat." It's better to rush into formation, and he will fear me without fighting. Shao Nai led the army to the south, and the industry will attack it, and his general will be frustrated and Meng Xun said: "Yang Rail is strong and has the heart to watch." Shao, the army to the death, will fight a decisive battle to survive. If you don't fight, you will have the safety of Taishan, and if you fight, you will be in danger. Ye said: "Qing Yan is also." "According to their soldiers, if they don't fight, it will be difficult for Shao, and they will bring their troops back.

Liang general Chen Qingzhi guarded the city of Weiyang, and the Later Wei general held on. From spring to winter, hundreds of battles, the division was old and weak, Wei Zhi's reinforcements wanted to build a base behind the army, and the generals were afraid of being attacked by the enemy and discussed retreating from the division. Qing Zhi said: "The soldiers came here, and they were involved in a year-old food war, and the number of them was extremely large. The armies have no fighting spirit, and they are all planning to retreat, how can they want to make a name for themselves and gather directly for money!" "I heard that if I put my soldiers to death, I can survive." The thieves surround and fight. "The generals will make their plans stronger, and from them.

The Wei people made thirteen cities with horns, and the title of Qing came out at night and trapped its fourth base. The remaining nine cities, the armor is still flourishing, but Chen Qi's prisoners, clamoring and attacking, Wei Shi then rushed to the defeat, and the capture was slightly exhausted.

Gao Qi Northern Yuzhou Shi Sima eliminated the difficulty, please surrender to Zhou, Zhou sent Yang Zhong, Da Xiwu and others to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet him. Galloping into the Qi realm for 500 miles from the middle road, three envoys were sent before and after, and the difficulties should not be eliminated. went to the Tiger Prison for thirty miles, and the suspicion of martial arts has changed, and he wants to return. Zhong said: "There is death, but there is no retreat." "Alone with a thousand horsemen gathered under the city at night, the city is steep on all sides, but the sound of the hammer is heard. Wu Qin came to lead hundreds of horses to the west, Zhongle Yu rode still, waited for the door to open and entered, and sent to summon Wuqi Town. Fu Jingyuan Lejia 2,000 people based in the east city, raising a beacon to guard the police. Wu Zhi did not want to protect the city, but took more wealth and silk to bait to eliminate difficulties, and his subordinates returned first, loyal to 2,000 horsemen for the palace. To Luonan, all unsaddled and lay down, all the people came to chase to Luobei, loyal to the soldier said: "But full of food, now in the land of death, the thief will not dare to cross the water as my front." "After eating, if the Qi master pretends to cross the water, the loyal cavalry will attack it. The soldiers did not dare to force it, so they led it back.

Before Liqi Gong:

Han Fu Jiezi begged Dawan with a horse to supervise Dawan, and because of the edict, he ordered Loulan and Qiuzi Kingdom. Jie Zi went to Loulan and accused the king to teach the thieves to kill the Han envoys: "The big soldiers are here, Wang Gou does not teach the thieves, and the thieves and soldiers have passed to the countries, what is not to say?" Wang Xie said: "The thieves and soldiers have made their subordinates, and they should go to Wusun and pass through Qiuzi." Jie Zi rebuked his king, and the king pleaded guilty. Jie Zi returned from Dawan to Qiuzi, and Qiuzi said that the thief soldier envoy was still here from Wusun, and Jie Zi led his officials to kill the thief and soldier messenger. also performed things, worshiped Jiezi as Zhonglang, and moved to Ping. Jie Ziwei general Huo Guang said: "Loulan and Qiuzi are repeated without punishment, and there is no punishment." When the meson passes the turtle, its king is close to the person, and it is easy to get it (nearby and pro-person, and there is no suspicion). May it be to be a deterrent to the nations. The general said: "The turtle is far away, and it is tested in Loulan." So he sent it in vain. Jie Zi and the soldiers all had gold coins, threatening to give foreign countries in the name. To Loulan, the king of Loulan does not want to be close to his son. Jie Ziyang led it to its western boundary, and the translation said: "The Han envoy gave the gold and splendid to the countries, and the king did not come to accept it, and I went to the western country." That is, the gold coins were given to show the translation, and the translation was returned to the king. The king was greedy for Han things and came to see the Han envoy. Jie Zi and sit and drink, Chen Wu shows it, and the drinking is drunk. Jie Zi said to the king: "The messenger of the Son of Heaven privately reported to the king (the secret is discussed)." Wang Qi followed Jie Zi into the account in the Ping Yu (Ping people sit and speak together), the two strong men from behind, swords to the chest, death, and their nobles are scattered. Jie Zi admonished: "The king bears the crime of Han, and the Son of Heaven sent me to punish the king, and I should set up the prince as a hostage in Han." The Han soldiers arrived, did not move, and destroyed the country. Then he took the king's head and returned it.

(Fu Jiezi, a warrior and famous diplomat of the Western Han Dynasty, Han Chinese, a native of the North.) During the reign of Emperor Zhao, Qiuci and Loulan in the Western Regions united with the Xiongnu, killed Han envoys, and robbed property. He asked to send an envoy to Dawan, with the edict of the Han Emperor to question Loulan and Qiuzi, and kill the Xiongnu envoy, and Hui Song was appointed as the supervisor of Pingle. In 77 BC, he was ordered to bring gold brocade to Loulan in the name of reward, kill the king of Loulan at the banquet, and set up the proton of Hanloulan as the king. Meritorious title of Yiyang Marquis. ）

Tang Khitan and Xi have been suffering for many years. The Khitan officials can be brave and strategic, and they are quite convincing. Zhang Shou went to the official, attacked frequently, and won every battle. The Khitan leaders Qu Ra and Ke Tuqian were frightened and sent an envoy to surrender. Guarding the hypocrisy, he sent the right guard to ride King Cao to repent of his tribe. Repented to the tent, the thieves had no intention of surrendering at first, and secretly sent the Turks to kill and repent to rebel. Will Khitan don't hand over Li Guozhi and Ke Tu Qian to fight for power, regret and lure him, and cut Qu Lai and Ke Tu Qian at night. Punish his party and lead the embers to fall. Because of the division of the division is inferior to Zimengchuan, the military is paraded, the soldiers are rewarded, and the Qu Ra is passed on, and thousands of heads can be broken out in the eastern capital.

Gao Xianzhi is the deputy protector of Anxi, King Xiaobolu is recruited by Tubo, his wife is a princess, and more than 20 countries in the northwest are made by Tubo, and the contribution is not clear. The festival made Tian Renwan and Yu Jiayun tired. Xuanzong Xianzhi took the horses and 10,000 people as the envoy of the camp festival, and planned it. Shibu army has private horses, from Anxi to the fifteenth day, to the change of the city, more than ten days to according to the side, more than ten days to Shule, more than 20 days to the green ridge to capture, more than 20 days to the Liao River, and more than 20 days to the Telle Ditch River, that is, the five senses hidden country. Xianzhi is divided into three armies, so that Shule guards and captures Zhao Chong, and Bitong 3,000 horsemen enter the Tubo Lianyun Castle Zhibei Valley, so that Jia Chongguang enters from the Red Buddha Hall Road, and Xianzhi and the Chinese envoy move to Cheng to protect the secret country, and will be in the Tubo Lianyun Fort on the 13th of July. Another thousand soldiers were in the south of the city fifteen miles because of the mountain as a fence, and another eight or nine thousand soldiers were stationed under the city. Since the water of the Suola River rises and cannot be crossed, Xianzhi sacrifices the river with three animals, and orders the generals to select soldiers and horses to collect dry food for three days, and collect the river early. The water is difficult to cross, and the soldiers are crazy. Even then, people do not wet the flag, horses do not wet the bondage, has become a column, Xian Zhi said: "Gou Wu half of the thief comes, I am defeated." Now that I have been made into a column, it is heaven that has given me this thief. Then the mountaineering platoon, from Chen to Si, broke it. At night, they rushed to kill 5,000 people, captured 1,000 alive, and scattered, gaining more than 1,000 horses and countless military equipment. Xianzhi left Lingcheng and others to guard the city with more than 3,000 sick and weak people. Xianzhi then entered, three days to Tanju Ridge, straight down the steep more than 40 miles.

Xianzhi said: "A crossbow is more than Hu Ruo is quick to welcome, that is, kind." "I was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to do so, so I ordered more than 20 horsemen to cross the city and go up to the ridge to meet them. Even when he arrived at Tanju Ridge, the soldiers refused to go down, and Yun: "Where does the ambassador want me to go?" Before he finished speaking, his Xianzhi made twenty people to greet him, and Yun He crossed the city and greeted him kindly, and the vine bridge of the Poyi River had been cut off. Xianzhi feigned joy and ordered ten soldiers. The Suoyi River, that is, the weak water of the ancients, is not better than grass mustard hair.

On the third day of the lower ridge, Chenghuguo came to greet him. Tomorrow to the city of Ao, when the generals Xi Yuanqing and He Lou Yurun first built the bridge road, Xianzhi will march tomorrow. He also ordered Yuanqing to precede the king of Lelu with a thousand horsemen and said: "I will take Rucheng, and I will not cut the Ru bridge, but I will pass by you to Da Bolu." "There were five or six chiefs in the city, all of whom were bare for Tibet. Xianzhi first made an appointment with Yuan Qingyun: "When the army arrives, the leaders and the people will go into the valley and greet them to give them training materials." The leader is here, and he will be bound to me. "Yuanqing has arrived, just like Xianzhi taught, binding the leaders. The king and the princess went into the grotto, but they could not get it. Xianzhi to, beheaded five or six people for Tibet, and urgently ordered Yuanqing to cut the vine bridge. Sixty miles to Boluyu, and at dusk, it was cut, and the Tibetan soldiers and horses were so large that there was no more to do. The vine bridge is an arrow wide, and it takes a year to repair. Bolu first borrowed the road for the Tibetans, and then became this bridge. As a result, Xianzhi Xu summoned himself, and Bolu and the princess surrendered and pacified the country.
