"Li Weigong Asks the Right Question" is the most complete military book in the "Seven Books of Wujing", and it can be said that its influence is very great. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Moreover, during the Song Dynasty, "Li Weigong Asks Right" is the most "advanced" military work, and judging from the military operations of the Tang Dynasty, there is no very big difference from the Song Dynasty or even the Ming Dynasty, and the influence of "Li Weigong Asks Right" can also be seen.

In "Li Weigong Asks the Right Question", there is a very interesting record, that is, the discussion of the "Grip of Qi Sutra" and other subsequent art of war:

Taizong said: "The Yellow Emperor's Art of War, the legend of "Grip Qiwen", or "Grip Text", what is it?"

Jing said: "Qiyin machine, so it may be passed on as an opportunity, and its meaning is one." Examine the rhetoric: 'Four is positive, four is strange, and the rest is the grip.' 'Odd, zero left. Hence the tone. The minister is foolish and said that the soldiers are all opportunities, and Ann cares about the grip of the hand. The husband is the soldier who receives it, and the strange soldier will come out of it. The "Law" says: 'Those who order Su to teach their people will be obeyed.' 'This is also for the king. He also said: 'If the soldier does not prophesy, the king's order will not be affected.' 'This will be the one who comes out of it. Where there is no wonder in the general, the guard will also, the odd but not the right, the fighting will also, the odd is right, and the country is also auxiliary. Therefore, there is no other way to grasp the machine and grasp the odd. It's just a scholar and a generalist. ”

Taizong said: "There are nine Chen numbers, and the center is zero, and the general will hold it, and all directions are accurate." Chen Rong Chen, team Rong Team. The former is the last, and the future is the first. There is no speed in in and no speed in retreat. Four heads and eight tails, with the first touch. The enemy rushed into it, and both ends were saved. The number starts at five, and ends with eight. What does this mean?"

Jing said: "Zhuge Liang uses the vertical and horizontal cloth of the stone as eight lines, and Fang Chen's method is also this picture." Ministers must first present this before they try to teach and read. The world's "Grip Text" is covered with its coarseness. ”

Taizong said: "Heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, eight formations, what is the meaning?"

Jing said: "Those who pass it on are mistaken." The ancients secretly hid this method, and the ancient set up eight ears. Eight formations, this one also. It is divided into eight Yan. If the heavens and the earth are the banners, the wind and the clouds are the names, and the dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes are the differences between the teams. Later generations misreported and deceitful, not to mention eight?"

Taizong said: "The number starts at five, and ends with eight."

It is not an image, and the real ancient array is also. Qing tried Chen Zhi. ”

Jing said: "The ministers are according to the Yellow Emperor's law of establishing hills. Because of the control of soldiers, the well is divided into four roads, eight families are in place, its shape is tic-tac-toe, and the square is nine. Five is the law, four is the idle land; this so-called number starts from five. In the void, the general dwells in the ring on all sides, and all the departments are connected; As for the change to control the enemy, they have to deal with each other. Fighting chaos but not chaotic law; chaotic, round shape but not dispersing. This so-called dispersion becomes eight, and the repetition becomes one. ”

Taizong said: "Deeply, the Yellow Emperor's army is also controlled! Although the later generations have the wisdom of heaven and the strategy, they will not be able to get out of the threshold." Who will succeed in this?"

Jing said: "The beginning of the Zhou Dynasty is too public to implement its methods: starting from Qidu, to build wells and acres, and 300 vehicles. There are 300 tigers, and the army is established in order to teach the tactics of war. Chen Shi Muye, Taigong used a centurion to make a teacher, in order to become a martial artist. 45,000 men prevailed over 700,000 people. Zhou's "Sima Law", this is also the prince. The prince did not, and the Qi people got his legacy. To Huan Gong dominates the world, appoints the management of Zhong, and restores the Taigong Law, which is called the teacher of moderation. The princes were subdued. ”

Taizong said: "Confucianism is just a matter of controlling the middle and tyrants, but they don't know that the art of war is based on the royal system. Zhuge Liang Wang Zuozhicai. Self-comparison of pipes and music, so as to know that Guan Zhong is also Wang Zuoye. But when the Zhou declined, the king could not use it, so he faked Qi Xingshier. ”

Jing bowed again and said: "Your Majesty is sacred, you know people like this, although the old minister is dead, he is worthy of the former sages." The ministers asked for the law of controlling the system: divide the country into three parts, think it is three armies, five families are the track, so five people are in the army, ten tracks are the li, so 50 people are Xiaorong, four miles are the company, so 200 people are the pawns, and the 10 companies are the townships, so 2,000 people are the brigade and five townships and one division, so 10,000 people are the army. It is also the righteousness of the first division and five brigades and the five soldiers of one brigade in the "Sima Law". In fact, they all have the legacy of the Taigong. ”

Taizong said: "Sima Law, everyone says what Sui Tho said, yes, is it?"

Jing said: "According to the "Historical Records: Sui Tho Biography", when Qi Jing Gong, Sui Tho made good use of soldiers, defeated the division of Yan and Jin, and Jing Gong respected as the official of Sima, so he was called Sima Sui Tho, and his descendants were called Sima Shi. To the king of Qi Wei, the ancient Sima Law, and the description of what Sui Tho learned, then there are dozens of "Sima Sui Tho Book", the flow of soldiers in this world, and the division of power and strategy, situation, yin and yang, and skills of the four kinds, all out of the "Sima Law" also. ”

Taizong said: "'Han Zhangliang and Han Xin's order of the art of war, where there are one hundred and eighty-two, delete and use, and set thirty-five.

'Why is it lost now?'

Jing said: "What Zhang Liang has learned, Taigong's "Six Tao" and "Three Strategies" are also. What Han Xin learned, Sui Tho and Sun Wu are also. However, there are basically no 'three doors' and 'four types'. ”

Taizong said: "What is the 'Three Gates'?"

Jing said: "According to the eighty-one articles of "Taigong Conspiracy", the so-called conspiracy. You can't be poor; you can't be poor in the 71 chapters of "Taigong Yan"; you can't be poor in the 85 chapters of "Taigong Bing." This 'three gates' also. ”

Taizong said: "What are the 'four kinds'?"

Jing said: "What Han Renhong said is true. Where there is a flow of soldiers, there is one kind of power and strategy, one kind of situation, and two kinds of yin and yang, and skills, and these 'four kinds' are also. ”

Taizong said: "The first order of "Sima Law" is hunting, why not?"

Jing said: "Go with the flow and ask for God, and pay attention to it." Zhou Li is the most important policy: Cheng has the Yang of Qiyang, Kang has the Dynasty of the Palace, Mu has the meeting of Tu Mountain, and the matter of the Son of Heaven is also. and the decline of Zhou, Qi Huan has the division of Zhaoling, Jin Wen has the alliance of practicing the soil, and the princes pursue the affairs of the Son of Heaven. Its practical method of nine cuts is not scrupulous. If it is a court meeting, it will be a parade, and it will be trained as a soldier, and if there is nothing to do, the soldiers will not act rashly, and they will be in the agricultural gap, and they will not forget to be armed. Therefore, the first order of hunting, is it not deep?"

Taizong said: "The Fayun of the Spring and Autumn Period Chuzi Erguang: 'Hundreds of officials move like things, and the military and government are not guarded. 'Do you have to do it every week?'

Jing said: "According to Zuo's words, Chu Zi multiplied by 30 times Guang, Guang had one pawn, and two pawns were deviated. The army marches to the right, and takes the yuan as the law, so the war is carried out by the yuan, and it is also a weekly system. The minister said that 100 people are called pawns, and 50 people are said to be two, which is one ride per car, and one hundred and fifty people are used, which is much worse than the weekly system. On Monday, there were seventy-two foot soldiers and three soldiers. Twenty-five people are the first class, and all the third class are seventy-five people. Chu, the country of mountains and rivers, has few cars and many people. If it is divided into three teams, it will be the same as the weekly system. ”

Taizong said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Xun Wu Vadi, destroying cars is the line, and he is also a soldier, a strange soldier?"

Jing said: "Xun Wu uses the car method. Although the car is abandoned, the law is in it. One is the left corner, one is the right corner, one is the front rejection, divided into three teams, this multiplication is also, tens of millions of multiplication.

According to Cao Gong's "New Book" cloud: Seventy-five people attacked the car, and the front rejected one team. Two teams in the left and right corners, and one team in the car. There are 10 cooks, 5 guards, 5 stables, and 5 woodcutters, a total of 25 people. Attack and defend two squares, where a hundred. 100,000 soldiers, 1,000 cars, 2,000 light and heavy, this is the old law of Xun Wu. Look at the military system between the Han and Wei dynasties: five cars as a team. One servant shoots, ten chariots are the teacher, one captain, and every thousand chariots are two generals. Do a lot of it. The ministers use the current method to refer to it: then jumping, cavalry, the front team, foot and cavalry, and the garrison, and the car ride out. The ministers went west to fight against the Turks, and the danger was thousands of miles. This system is not easy. Gai ancient law moderation, faith can be re-respected. ”

......

The above content can be said to be Li Jing's representative who has read the military book and has his own unique opinions.

And this opinion also greatly influenced many military generals and monarchs and ministers who established the country by force.

And as Li Jing's explanation, what is "Grip the Strange Sutra"?

......

The Grip Sutra is also known as the "Grip Sutra" and "Grip Sutra". The ancient Chinese military writings of the Han nationality are military books about the eight formations. According to legend, his scriptures were written by the Yellow Emperor. Jiang Shang extended it, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Prime Minister Sun Hong explained.

In addition, 1 volume of the anonymous "Continuation of the Grip of the Qi Sutra" and 1 volume of the "Eight Array Diagrams" by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Xiping Taishou Ma Long.

The Sutra of Grip has a distinctly Taoist color. The four formations of heaven and earth are positive, the four formations of dragons, tigers, birds and snakes are strange, and the four positive and four strange are always eight formations. The generals who have mobile forces in the formation (that is, the so-called "Yu Qi" soldiers) are called "Zhiqi". When arranging the formation, the guerrillas will first guard at both ends of the formation; The guerrillas withdrew to the rear of the battle and stood by. During the battle, the four Zheng and the four strange soldiers confronted the enemy, and the guerrillas attacked from behind the formation to cooperate with the eight formations, and the general commanded in the center, and responded to the important combat direction with the troops of "Yu Qi". Due to the simplicity of the scriptures, the position of the four positive and four strange places, the role in the formation and battle, and the transformation and evolution of the two, the interpretation of later generations is not consistent.

The scripture says: Eight formations, four are positive, four are strange, and the rest is strange. Or in general.

The first outing army is set at both ends, the sky has a balance circle, the earth has an axis, there is a rush before and after, the wind is attached to the sky, and the clouds are attached to the ground. There are four teams in each rush, and three teams in the front and back. The wind lives in four dimensions, so it is round. There are three teams in each row of the axes, and three teams in the front and back. The clouds dwell in the four corners, so they are square. The heavens dwell at both ends, and the earth dwells in the middle, and there are always eight arrays. In the battle, the guerrilla army stepped on the enemy from behind, or shocked its left or right, and listened to the sound and looked at the command, so as to make four surprises. Heaven and earth before rushing into the wings of the tiger, the wind for the snake, the righteousness of the surrounding: the tiger dwells in the middle, spreads its wings to advance, the snake dwells at both ends, and responds to the enemy. Heaven and earth rush for the flying dragon, the cloud for the bird to fly, the righteousness of the assault: the dragon dwells in it, spreads its wings to advance, the bird tucks at both ends, and flies to the enemy to respond. The second base of virtual and real is based on astronomical climate, back to the mountains and rivers, and at any time, with the right coincidence, and the odd victory. Below heaven and earth, eightfold columns. Or say: grasp the opportunity to look at the enemy, that is, lead the behind, and do not move in the front with the angle, and the front is advanced and secondary. Or they become one, and they are eight because of their separation, and each grows according to the number of teachers.

The sky is round and does not move, the front is left, the back is right, and the four eyes of heaven and earth are also. The heavens dwell at both ends, followed by the wind, followed by the clouds, and the left and right are also facing each other. The place is clothed, the wind and clouds are rushing forward and backward before, the sky is at both ends, and the second place is in the middle, and the two places are also compared to each other. Vertical distribution of the first day, the second time of the sky, vertical distribution of the earth four, second to the queen of the sky, vertical distribution of the four winds, the left and right of the heaven and the earth. Heaven and earth are on the right side of the front rush, the back is on the left, and the clouds are at both ends. Virtual and real second base, this is also.

......

In ancient times, there were also commentaries on the Sutra of Grips. Of course, this kind of commentary is a personal understanding and application of the Sutra.

The horn sound is two, the police at the beginning and the crowd at the end.

Geyin five: one holds a soldier, two forms a formation, three lines, four tends to go, and five fights.

Jin Yin Five: One slow fight, two stop fights, three retreats, four backs, five urgent backs.

Lu method five: one xuan, two yellow, three white, four green, five red.

Flag method eight: one day Xuan, two Huang Di, three wind red, four cloud white, five days ago on Xuan and Xia Hong, six days after Xuan Xia white, seven before Xuan Xia Qing, eight after Huang and Xia Hong.

Formation 8: Heaven, Earth, Wind, Cloud, Flying Dragon, Flying Bird, Tiger Wing, Snake Pan.

Two leather and two gold are the sky, three leather and three gold are the earth, two leather and three gold are the wind, three leather and two gold are clouds, four leather and three gold are dragons, three leather and four gold are tigers, four leather hardware are birds, and five leather and four gold are snakes. Those who add a horn sound between the golden leather are both wind in the sky, clouds in the earth, birds in the dragon, and snakes in the tiger. Those who add two horns, the whole division enters the east. Those who add triangle tones will enter the south with the whole division. Those who add four-cornered tones will enter the west. Those who add pentagonal tones, the whole division enters the north. Those who do not stop at five tones are not in order. If the golden leather is resting and the horn sound does not stop, the division will rotate together.

Thirty-two teams of heavenly rush, sixteen teams of wind, eight teams of heavenly front, twelve teams of earth forward, twelve teams of earth axis, eight teams of heaven queen, twelve axis of earth back, sixteen teams of clouds. The heaven and earth rush forward for the tiger wings, the heaven and the earth rush backward for the flying dragon, the wind for the snake, and the cloud for the flying bird.

......

During the period from the end of the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty, Ma Long, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, also commented on the "Grip of Qi Sutra", and this way of annotation is called "Eight Formations Overview":

Govern the army with faith, and seek holy wonder. It is not easy to believe, and there is no convention. If you can hold it, you can hold it, and if you can do it, you can do it. Ever-changing, the enemy cannot know.

Pi Chenzan: Movement is strange, and stillness is array. Chen is arrayed, and the battle is endless. Share the hardships and work evenly, and the wheel will be determined. If there are soldiers in front of them, the rear team should not enter.

Tian Chen Zan: Tian Chen Sixteen, inside and outside round. The wind rushes on all sides, and its image is heavenly. For the lord of Chen, for the first soldier. The three armies are submerged, and their shape is not biased.

Di Chen Zan: Di Chen Twelve, its shape is square. The four corners of the cloud are born, and the punch shaft is comparable. Its body is unpredictable, and its use is boundless. Independence is indispensable, and it is matched with yang.

Feng Chen Zan: The wind has no positive shape, and it is attached to the sky. Changed into a snake, its meaning gradually mysterious. The wind can stir up, and all things are frightened, and the snake can surround it, and the three armies are afraid.

Yun Chen Zan: If the cloud is attached to the ground, it knows the invisible. It becomes a flying bird, and its form is completed. Birds can attack, clouds can obscurity. Ever-changing, the voice of the golden leather.

Flying Dragon: Heaven and earth rush backwards, and the dragon becomes one of them. There are hands and feet, and there is a back and a chest. The latent is unpredictable, and the movement is infinite. The same goes for the formation, like the name of the dragon.

Flying birds: Birds fight, must first soar. Powerful men, birds hidden. If you judge it, you will be hurt down. One man assaults, three armies do not do.

Snake Pan: The wind is a snake, and the snake swallows innocence. Potentiality surrounds, performance flexion and stretching. In the four seasons, the tiger is the neighbor. After becoming Changshan, the beginning and the end are related to each other.

Tiger Wings: Heaven and earth rush forward and become tiger wings. The tiger will fight, and its power will be full. Huaiyin uses it, the changes are endless, and the meeting under the wall is unpredictable.

Strange soldiers: Ancient strange soldiers, soldiers are in the sun. Today's people are strange soldiers, and the soldiers are outside the grandson. The body of the soldier is invisible, and the form will collapse. Judge it, and fight a hundred battles.

Combine into one, separate into eight: unite into one, Pingchuan is like a city. Scattered into eight, the shape of the ground. Chaos is like an infinite ring. One after another, I don't know what to do. The combination of heaven dwells at both ends, and the earth dwells in it. Scattered is a yin and a yang, and the two are against each other. Don't be preemptive.

Guerrilla: The shape of the guerrilla army, at first glance. Avoid the real and attack the false, and look at the situation to be prosperous. The knot tends to the ground, and the four paths are broken. After the virtuous judge, the momentum is uncertain.

Jin Ge: There are five gold and five leather. If you retreat, you will listen to the gold, and if you enter, you will listen to the drums. Drums to increase anger, gold to suppress anger. Hold its mechanism and fight without losing measure.

Drum of Hips: The red dust battle is deep, and the blade is close to each other. The outcome is undecided, and people are afraid. Rush back, or vertical or capture. The lines are staggered, and the whole is in the sheath.

Horn: There are five methods, and the light eye is streamed. There are five horn sounds, and the first police are the last to close. The commander commands, and the horn is alert. Be careful not to stagger.

Soldier body: the upper soldier is strategic, and the subordinate is used as a division. Abandon the basics and chase the end, the saints do not do. Violence is prohibited, decay is prohibited at any time, and it is a last resort. The saint uses it, the hero is the general, the night is dry, and its shape is not biased; The villain wins, and the gentleman has both. Those who fight against morality, if there is no broken army, there will be a loss of the country, and if you hold the opportunity, you will be a thief. After the sage judges, don't be confused.

Those who kill people must not aspire to the world. The words of the saints, to the one who prescribes.

......

The provenance of the "Grip Sutra" is no longer verifiable, but there is no doubt that the Grip Sutra is a fake book made up in the name of the Yellow Emperor's Wind Queen.

The time when it was written should be from the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, because Ma Long's "Eight Formations Overview" does have the shadow of "Grip Qi Jing".

And there is a saying that "Grip the Book of Wonders" has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang.
