Chapter 2 The best is not necessarily the most suitable
Yang Wengzi was not a person who did not have the ability to make decisions, and in the face of this change of the Huns, Yang Wengzi also planned to have the intention to test the .lā天籁novel.2 But in the end, Yang Wengzi decided to continue to stick to Yunzhong City to avoid accidents. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not a strange thing, because for a veteran of Yang Wengzi's age, the way of using troops is often biased towards seeking stability rather than preferring surprise troops to win like some younger generals.
Of course, this point is closely related to the situation that Yang Wengzi himself faced, that is, the officers and soldiers under his command were indeed lacking cavalry troops.
Even if you count some of the defenders of other Yunzhong County who were recalled in time, the number of cavalry in the entire Cloud City was only more than 2,000 people.
Perhaps the number of more than 2,000 cavalry can be said to be a fairly large force in the war a few years ago, but for the Huns, more than 2,000 cavalry is more just a drop in the bucket of the other side. Moreover, the uneven quality of these more than 2,000 cavalry is one thing, and on the other hand, the commander of these cavalry, not a unified formation.
According to the situation, the commander of these more than 2,000 cavalry is him and Ji Ji, the current lieutenant of Yunzhong County, but the two have no intention of directing these cavalry out of the city to fight at the moment. In the case of other people, in a rather unfamiliar environment, it is also a question whether these cavalry units can effectively fight the original combat effectiveness.
So under such a premise, Yang Wengzi gave up even the most basic temptation.
It's just that Yang Wengzi didn't do nothing.
Inside the city gatehouse, Yang Wengzi wrote two letters, which were wrapped around the feet of two domesticated falcons.
After releasing the two falcons, Yang Wengzi watched as they flew towards the sky to the east and the east to the south, and then walked out of the city gate tower again, and then ordered the officers and soldiers to be vigilant and strictly defend.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
An hour later, Li Mian, who was stationed in a mountain forest somewhere in Jiuyuan County, received a letter from Yang Wengzi.
Li Mian looked at the contents of the letter, and was silent for a while before burning the book.
Li Mian didn't think that Yang Wengzi would give him a warning for no reason. In other words, Yang Wengzi sent a warning letter to him, which means that Yang Wengzi was worried that the Xiongnu army that was originally in the area of Yunzhong City would really attack other places by dividing their troops.
The more than 10,000 cavalry under Li Mian's command may not be inferior in terms of combat effectiveness in the face of the same number or a little more enemy number of Hun knights, but if the Hun riders on the opposite side are three times or even more, even if he has become a person with considerable combat experience and certain achievements in training knights, Li Mian himself does not have too much confidence to achieve a complete victory.
This situation is something that Li Mian doesn't want to face, but has to face.
And this point can also be said to be the consequence of Zhang Jiashi's belief in a situation in a sense.
That is, Zhang Jiashi himself did not pursue the superiority of the "future generations" too much, but paid attention to the actual situation.
......
This is the case with a book that is not considered a book of war, but is often associated with Sun Tzu's Art of War in terms of strategy.
And this book is "Thirty-six Strategies".
"Thirty-six Strategies" or "Thirty-six Strategies" refers to the 36 strategies of the art of war in ancient China, which originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and was written in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The core viewpoint of the "Thirty-six Strategies" is: the interpretation of the number is not the repression. Gehry, the term is self-explanatory, and the number is beyond the word. If you know that the art is a skill, but you don't know that there are numbers in the art, then the number should not be more. And the trick of trickery is in the affairs and in the human feelings.
If something goes wrong, it will be strange and immediate, surprising and confusing, and scheming.
In other words, among the 36 strategies, every sixth set of plans becomes a set, the first set is a plan for winning a battle, the second set is a plan for enemy battles, the third set is a plan for attacking a battle, the fourth set is a melee strategy, the fifth set is a plan for a combined battle, and the sixth set is a plan for defeat.
Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea is the first plan, and its origin is: In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty will attack the state of Chen. This Chen State is 557 A.D. Chen Baxian called the emperor to establish the country, set the name of the country as Chen, and built the capital in Jiankang, which is today's Nanjing. Before the war, He Ruobi, a general of the Sui Dynasty, was ordered to lead the defense of the river, and often organized garrison troops along the river to transfer the defense. Each time the defense was adjusted, the troops were ordered to concentrate in Liyang. He also specially ordered that when the three armies were concentrated, they must arrange large banners, set up police tents, and publicize their momentum in order to confuse Chen Guo.
It was really difficult for Chen Guo to distinguish between fiction and reality, and at first he thought that the army was coming, so he tried his best to prepare for the enemy. However, soon, it was now the Sui army garrison to adjust the defense, not to attack, and Chen withdrew the assembled troops. In this way, five times and three times, the Sui army was frequently adjusted, and no clues were revealed, and Chen Guo was also commonplace, and his vigilance was lax. Until the Sui general He Ruobi's army crossed the river, Chen Guo was unaware. The Sui army was like a heavenly soldier overpowering the top, which caught Chen Bing off guard, and then pulled out Chen's southern Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
"Yongle Grand Canon: Xue Rengui's Expedition to Liao" records:
In the seventeenth year of Tang Taizong's Zhenguan, he drove a personal expedition and led an army of 300,000 to Ningdongtu. One day, the mighty army came in to the edge of the sea, and the emperor saw that the white waves were emptying in front of him, and the sea was endless, so he asked the chief about the plan to cross the sea, and looked at each other. Suddenly, it was rumored that a wealthy man who lived close to the sea asked to see him, and said that the family had 300,000 yuan of sea rations.
The emperor was overjoyed, so he led a hundred officials to follow this wealthy man to the seaside. I saw that all the households were covered with a color curtain, which was very tight. The old man of Haomin stepped backwards to the east to lead the emperor into the room. The interior is embroidered with curtains and colorful brocade, and the mattress is paved. Hundreds of officials entered the wine, feasting and drinking.
Soon, the wind was blowing, the waves were like thunder, the cups were tilting sideways, and the people were shaking, and they did not stop for a long time. Taizong was alarmed, and hurriedly ordered his ministers to open the color curtain to inspect, but if he didn't look at it, he was stunned. The clear sea water is endless, and the army has already sailed on the sea when he is a guest in the house of the wealthy people! It turns out that this wealthy people are dressed up as a newly recruited strong man Xue Rengui, and this strategy of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" was planned by him.
The use of "concealing the sky and crossing the sea" in the art of war is really a tactic to show the false and conceal the true suspicion of the soldiers, and is used as a campaign camouflage in order to achieve unexpected combat results.
Obviously, the people of the Qin Empire would not understand the story of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, but the use of this virtual and real art of war has actually been used for a long time.
Situations such as the strategy of concealing the sky and crossing the sea are not rare among the 36 schemes.
The allusions to waiting for work are as follows:
During the Three Kingdoms, Wu killed Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was furious and personally led an army of 700,000 to attack Wu. The Shu army attacked from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, condescending, and overwhelming. Raise troops to the east, win more than ten battles in a row, and the vigor is in full swing, until the Yiling, the area of the Whistling Pavilion, and go deep into the hinterland of Wu for five or six hundred miles. Sun Quan ordered the young general 6 Xun to be the governor of the capital, and led 50,000 people to meet the battle. 6 Xun was well versed in the art of war, correctly analyzed the situation, and believed that Liu Bei was sharp and condescending, and it was difficult for the Wu army to attack.
So it was decided to implement a strategic retreat to see what happened. The Wu army completely withdrew from the mountains, so that the Shu army was difficult to deploy in the mountainous area of five or six hundred miles, but was in a passive position, unable to fight, and the soldiers were exhausted. After holding each other for half a year, the fighting spirit of the Shu army was relaxed.
6 Xun saw that the battle line of the Shu army stretched for hundreds of miles, and it was difficult to take care of the tail, so he set up camp in the mountains and forests, and committed the taboo of soldiers. When the time was ripe, 6 Xun ordered a full-scale counteroffensive, which caught the Shu army by surprise. 6 Xun - set fire, burned down the Shu army's 700-mile company camp, the Shu army was in chaos, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated in a hurry. 6 Xun created a famous example in the history of warfare of winning more with less and controlling the people later.

In addition to the Thirty-six Strategies, the "Book of Song: Tan Dao Ji Biography", which is considered to be the introduction of the Thirty-six Strategies, also disappeared at this time:
Tan Daoji, a native of Jinxiang County, Gaoping, has lived in Jingkou for generations. When he was a teenager, he became an orphan, and he was known for his humility and courtesy in serving his brothers and sisters. Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty set up the banner of righteousness, and Dao Ji and his brother Tan Shao, Tan Yi and other retinues pacified the capital, and together they served in the palace of Emperor Wu and General Wu. He was gradually promoted to a lieutenant to join the army, and was named a male in Tang County.
In the twelfth year of Yixi, Emperor Wu went on the Northern Expedition, and Tan Daoji was the vanguard, and he surrendered to the wind wherever he went. Heading straight into Luoyang, some people thought that all the captured captives should be killed as a great spectacle of the capital. Tan Daoji said: "The crusade against sinners and the comfort of the people is today. "Release all the captives and send them away. As a result, the people of the Central Plains felt joyful, and there were many people who attached themselves. After Chang'an was pacified, he was appointed as the internal history of Langzhi.
Emperor Wu of Song inherited the mandate of heaven, and because of his contribution to the throne, he was renamed the Duke of Yongxiu County, and was the general of Danyang Yin and the protector army. Emperor Wu fell ill and provided him with a guard of honor of twenty people. Later, he went out of Beijing to serve as the general of Zhenbei and the assassin of Southern Yanzhou. Xu Xianzhi and others plotted to abolish the emperor, and politely persuaded Tan Daoji to enter the court, telling him that he was going to depose Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling. On the night when he was about to depose the emperor, Tan Daoji went to the Commander's Mansion and stayed at Xie Hui's place, where Xie Hui was afraid and couldn't sleep. And Tan Daoji fell asleep when he fell, and Xie Hui admired him very much.
Emperor Wen ascended the throne, gave him a band, and was named the Duke of Wuling County. He insisted on prevarication. Tan Daoji usually got along with Wang Hong, when Wang Hong was known by the emperor, Tan Daoji was even more attracted to climbing, often connected with Xu Xianzhi and others, and Wang Hong also relied on him very much. The emperor was about to kill Xu Xianzhi and others, summoned Tan Daoji, and wanted him to lead his troops to the west.
Wang Hua said: "It can't be like this. The emperor said: "Daoji is following others, and it was not his idea in the past, so there is no need to worry about appeasing and appointing him." "The day after Tan Daoji came, the emperor killed Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang. Later, Tan Daoji and the leading army of the army were sent to Yanzhi to carry out the western expedition, and the emperor asked Tan Daoji for a strategy. He replied: "I used to accompany Xie Hui on the Northern Expedition, and if there were ten strategies for entering the customs, Xie Hui would account for nine of them.
His talent was shrewd and scheming, and he was almost invincible, but he never won alone, and fighting was probably not his forte. I am familiar with Xie Hui's resourcefulness, and Xie Hui is familiar with my courage. Now that he has been ordered by the emperor to go out to fight, he must be caught without waiting for the array. At that time, Xie Hui thought that Tan Dao Ji would be killed with Xu Xian, but suddenly heard that he led the army to kill, so he collapsed without a fight. After the matter was calmed down, he was reappointed as the general of Zhengnan, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, and the history of Jiangzhou assassination.
In the eighth year of Yuanjia, Yanzhi invaded Wei and had pacified the south of the Yellow River, and later lost it. Tan Daoji served as the commander-in-chief of the conquest army, attacked the territory to the north, and then fought on the Jishui, where the Wei army was strong, so he conquered the slipway.
Tan Daoji fought more than thirty battles with the Wei army at that time, most of them were victorious, marched to Licheng, and returned because the transportation supplies were exhausted. At that time, the people who surrendered to Wei explained in detail that the food had been eaten, so the soldiers were worried and frightened, and they had no strong fighting spirit. Tan Daoji took advantage of the night to shout the hour, gathered sand, and sprinkled the remaining small amount of rice on it. In the morning, the Wei army thought that there was more food in reserve, so they no longer pursued, thinking that those who surrendered were talking nonsense and beheading their crimes.
At that time, Tan Dao Ji was small and weak, and the army was very afraid. Tan Daoji ordered all the sergeants to wear armor and white clothes, and to go out and walk around slowly in a car. The Wei army was afraid of an ambush and did not dare to approach, so he returned. Although Tan Daoji did not pacify the area south of the Yellow River, he saved the safe return of the army, and his reputation for being a warrior was greatly enhanced. Wei Jun was very afraid of him, and painted his portrait to ward off evil spirits. After returning, he was promoted to Sikong and guarded Xiangyang.
Dao Ji made meritorious contributions to the previous dynasty, and his prestige was very great, his left and right henchmen were experienced in a hundred battles, and his sons were very talented, so the court was afraid and suspicious of him. At that time, some people also looked at him like this, saying, "How can you know that he is not Sima Zhongda?"
Emperor Wen of Song has been ill for many years, and has encountered danger many times, leading the army Liu Zhan to be in charge of the government, I am afraid that Tan Daoji has a different statement, and Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, is also afraid that the emperor will die, and Tan Daoji can no longer be controlled. In the twelfth year of Yuanjia, the emperor was seriously ill and encountered the southern expedition of the Wei army, and summoned Tan Daoji into the court.
His wife Xiang said: "Merit is higher than the world, this is a Taoist taboo, and now there is nothing to summon each other, it should be a disaster." "When I got there, the emperor was already healed. In the spring of the thirteenth year, when he was about to be sent back to his original town, he had not yet come out of the water's edge, when a flock of wren-like birds gathered on the boat and chirped mournfully.
When the emperor was ill, Liu Yikang forged an edict to summon Tan Daoji into the palace, saying that it was for him, and he was captured and handed over to Tingwei, and he and his son were killed together with eight people, including Huangmen Shilang Tanzhi, Situ Zhonglang Tancan, Prince Sheren Tantan, Tan Chengbo, the chief secretary of Zhengbei, and Lang Zhongtan Zun. At that time, people sang: "Poor "White Floating Dove", killed Danjiang Prefecture in vain." "On the day Tan Daoji died, there was an earthquake in Jianye, and white hair grew. He also killed Xue Wei and Gao Jinzhi, both of whom were Tan Daoji's henchmen.
After Tan Daoji was arrested, he was very angry, his momentum was extremely strong, his eyes were like torches, and he drank wine in an instant. Then he took off his turban and threw it on the ground, saying, "I actually destroyed your Great Wall!" When the Wei people heard the news, they all said, "Tan Daoji is dead, and the juniors of Wu Di are no longer worth fearing." Since then, he has been attacking southward for many years, and has the ambition of drinking the Yangtze River.
Emperor Wen asked Yin Jingren, "Who can inherit Daoji?" and replied: "Daoji has established his prestige because of his repeated military exploits, and the rest of the people just haven't been appointed." Emperor Wen said: "It's not like this, in the past, there was Li Guang in the court, and the Xiongnu did not dare to invade to the south, and how many successors were there?" sighed: "If Daoji is alive, it will get to this point!"
......
It can be said that if Zhang Jiashi taught the generals the military books including the thirty-six strategies or the content of strategy, then for the military of the Qin Empire, there may be a richer way of exhibition, but this change is very multifaceted.
Zhang Jiashi does not want to make rash changes in this regard, which will lead to a series of negative effects.
