However, although King Wu appointed Sun Wu as a general, and also admired the thirteen articles on the art of war written by Sun Wu.

But King Wu still had some worries about Sun Wu.

After all, although Sun Wu was born in the nobility of the Qi Kingdom, he did not have much actual combat experience.

So King Wu was ready to test Sun Wu.

In addition, he also made a difficult one, and selected 160 palace maids to be commanded by Sun Wu.

In addition, he also let his two concubines serve as the leaders of the two groups.

But despite this, Sun Wu still followed his art of war and began to train 160 palace maids.

Pity.

These palace maids were originally women and had never fought a war.

And that's not all.

and Wu Wangai, who was the leader of the two groups, ignored Sun Wu completely, and after Sun Wu launched the order continuously, the two of them still did not react on the operation field, and even began to laugh and play.

Seeing this, Sun Wu was furious and wanted to kill the two concubines of King Wu.

When King Wu saw that Sun Wu had moved his true character, he pleaded with Sun Wu for intercession.

Sun Wu said that the general would be outside, and the king's order would not be affected.

Leading troops to fight a war must have strict discipline like iron, and if this cannot be guaranteed, then there will be no victory at all.

Ultimately.

Sun Wu still killed the two concubines of King Wu according to the military regulations.

When the other palace maids saw Sun Wu like this, they were immediately frightened, and when Sun Wu practiced again, every palace maid was in order according to Sun Wu's requirements.

Of course.

This is just King Wu's test for Sun Wu.

The best is yet to come.

"At that time, the state of Chu was a big country, and the state of Chu was a very great threat to the state of Wu. However, Wu did not have such great strength to defeat Chu, so Sun Wu said, go to the army to attack and plan, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city. ”

While speaking, Chen Fan wrote the essence of Sun Wu's art of war on the blackboard.

"The law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. ”

The meaning is also very simple.

Even if it is a hundred battles to win, it is actually not the most powerful strategy to use troops.

The most powerful strategy for using troops is to surrender without a fight. Even if you don't send a single soldier, you can make your opponent submit. Therefore, the first army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege...... The strategy at the top is to use their own tactics to bring the opponent to their knees, followed by using diplomacy to defeat the opponent, and the third is to send troops directly. The best way to do this is to siege the city.

As for why the siege is the most inferior.

That's because siege warfare has always suffered very heavy casualties, often wounding 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted losses.

Even.

Sometimes the siege of the city itself has many more casualties than the defenders.

This is naturally the most inferior method of using troops.

"I'll go, this thinking and strategy is so clever."

"The soldiers who surrender without a fight, the good ones who are good, are also powerful."

"That's right, even winning a hundred battles is not the most powerful strategy to use troops. Because even if you win a hundred battles, you will actually suffer a lot of damage. The more you fight, the more you lose. In the end, because of their serious damage, they will also fail. ”

For Sun Wu, everyone thought that he was just a general in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But.

When Chen Fan said Sun Wu's strategy of using troops, Sun Wu's image suddenly became taller.

He is no longer an ordinary general, he has become a famous military army in the Spring and Autumn Period.

If it is described by the contention of a hundred schools, Sun Wu is the head of the soldiers of a hundred families.

Maybe someone asked at this time.

Why is Sun Wu called the head of the military family, or the ancestor of the military family?

Could it be that before Sun Wu, he didn't have a soldier?

Not.

Before Sun Wu, there was also the art of war, and there were also soldiers.

The famous Jiang Ziya, he is a very powerful soldier.

However, the soldiers of the Spring and Autumn Period were still in a relatively ideal stage of their concepts.

For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when everyone fought wars, they generally conquered each other, and their purpose was only to dominate, not to destroy the country.

But after Sun Wu.

Under the influence of Sun Wu, in the late Spring and Autumn Period and by the Warring States Period, Sun Wu's strategic thinking had completely dominated the entire period at that time.

As he said in the Art of War, a soldier is also a sophisticer. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, and it is not used to show it.

Meaning:

The art of war is deceit. Therefore, we should be capable and pretend not to be able to. In fact, they want to hit you, but they pretend they can't hit you.

King Wu felt that Sun Wu's strategy was very clever and adopted Sun Wu's strategy.

Sun Wu first alienated the state of Tong, a vassal state of the state of Chu, and made it betray the state of Chu. Then he pretended that he didn't have any strength and didn't dare to attack the Chu State, so that the Chu army let down its guard. And in October of the same year, the Wu army, under the leadership of Sun Wu, defeated the Chu army at Yuzhang.

……

"It's exciting."

"The ancestor of the military family, it is really famous."

"This kind of art of war, not to mention in the Spring and Autumn Period, is also very instructive for us in modern times."

Yes.

Sun Tzu's Art of War was not just the guiding ideology of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In any dynasty in later generations, when leading troops to fight, the most valuable reference is Sun Wu's Art of War.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao admired Sun Tzu's Art of War the most.

Even, he combined his own experience to make annotations to Sun Tzu's Art of War.

"But that's just the beginning. The strength of the state of Chu was still very strong, and the state of Wu only slightly defeated the Chu army. But to completely defeat the Chu army, the temporary state of Wu does not have this ability. So Sun Wu once again offered advice to the king of Wu, and the current state of Wu should recuperate and accumulate strength. On the other side, Sun Wu also offered advice. In addition to accumulating strength on your own side, you should also use a tired strategy. ”

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is the strategy of fatigue, it won't be like Zheng Guoqu, right?"

One student raised his hand and said.

This question, but everyone laughed.

At that time, Zheng Guoqu was also a tired Qin policy, according to the original intention, South Korea was afraid of Qin, so it wanted Qin to put the strength of the whole country into the construction of water conservancy. As a result, this strategy of exhausting Qin was not achieved, but after the construction of Zheng Guoqu, the strength of Qin was greatly increased.

At this time, Chen Fan once again talked about the strategy of fatigue, and everyone couldn't help but think of Zheng Guoqu.

It's just that Chen Fan smiled and said, "Sun Wu, as the ancestor of the military family, how could he make such a low-level mistake." Sun Wu's tired strategy was to send some small forces to attack the Chu state from time to time on the border of the Chu state. But this attack is not long, just hit it and leave. If Chu doesn't care, then continue to fight. If the Chu army sends most of them to come, then run. ”

Such strategic thinking also played a huge role in later generations.

For example, the famous guerrilla warfare in the previous life.

"In this way, through 6 years, on the one hand, the State of Wu has accumulated strength, and on the other hand, it has also made the State of Chu from time to time to guard against the invasion of the State of Wu, and the internal consumption is also very large."

At this time, another student asked: "Teacher Chen Fan, I have a question. ”

"Please."

"Although Sun Wu's tired strategy is good, isn't Wu afraid that Chu will send a large army to attack Wu and wipe them out? After all, according to the national strength at that time, the strength of Chu was still stronger than that of Wu. ”

For this.

Chen Fan also nodded.

It seems that college students still think about problems more thoroughly.

Chen Fan said: "This has to be analyzed from several aspects. At that time, although the state of Chu was strong, it was not only the state of Wu. For example, in the Jin State to the north of the Chu State, the Chu State has always had to be on guard. And, of course, the state of Qin to the west. Although Qin later formed an alliance with Chu, by the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the alliance of various states was a matter of interest. Because of the interests, they can quickly form alliances. Because of the interests, their alliances can be quickly dispersed. ”

"That's one of them. Second, Wu has the Yangtze River, and their sailors are very powerful. If you want to attack Wu, then you have to face Wu's navy. At that time, the strength of the naval army, almost no country could resist the Wu State. Therefore, even if the State of Chu wanted to destroy the State of Wu, it could not cause much damage to the State of Wu because of the conditions of the terrain and the lack of the naval army. On the contrary, if the state of Chu raised a large army to attack the state of Wu, it would also give the state of Qin, the state of Jin, and even the state of Qi...... and other great powers. ”

It is for this reason.

Therefore, Wu could send a group of troops to harass Chu, but Chu could not make too many counteracts to Wu's harassment.

Of course, Wu was able to attack Chu because there were not too many powerful countries around him.

The east side of the state of Wu is by the sea.

Some other countries in the south are not yet in the mood.

Although there is the Qi State of the Eastern Powers in the north, there are dozens of small countries separated by the Qi State and the Wu State.

Therefore, this place in the Central Plains has always been a battleground for soldiers.

But this place where soldiers must fight is also the most dangerous place.

The more central you are, the easier it is for you to get beaten.

On the contrary, if you are in a corner of the border, first, other big countries will not be able to defeat you, and second, you can accumulate strength and slowly send troops to other neighboring countries.

It's like playing Go.

Generally, the game of Go is played from the corners.

If you come, you will go down to the middle of the Tianyuan.

Either you're a second force, or you're already better than your opponent.

"I see."

Explaining this, we have a general understanding of the background of each country in the Spring and Autumn period.

……

Six years later, Sun Wu finally waited for his chance. Sun Wu commanded an army of 30,000 troops, as well as united several other small states, to attack the state of Chu. The state of Chu sent 200,000 troops to prepare for battle with the Wu army. ”

This battle is also known as the Battle of Baiju.

"30,000 people against 200,000 people, this, this, Wu Guo will win?"

"I don't know, but, these 30,000 against 200,000, how can this be fought?"

"This is even more difficult than the Battle of Red Cliffs."

In the Battle of Chibi, although Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000, he actually only had more than 200,000.

And Sun Liu teamed up, and there were fifty or sixty thousand.

But now, there are only 30,000 people in Wu State.

Quite a few shook their heads.

According to their thinking, such a battle would never be won.

After all.

Ancient is no better than modern times.

In the era of cold weapons, it was already very good for one person to win two people, but now 30,000 people against 200,000 people, so 1 person has to PK7 people?

How can this be fought?

"You may ask, 30,000 against 200,000, can you win?"

Chen Fan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I'll tell you slowly." ”

"Sun Wu is the ancestor of the military family, in addition to his ancestors being a family of the art of war, he also has a deep study of the art of war. Even, his research is completely beyond the foundation of his predecessors. For example, before the war was fought, a group of generals, strategists, and ministers would calculate the military strength of both the enemy and the enemy. If the difference in level is too large, they do not recommend fighting. Of course, Sun Wu also thinks that this is right. However, sometimes it is impossible to fight a war, and you are always stronger than others. When you are not better than others, what should you do, then you should choose other methods. ”

"The first strategy Sun Wu made was to attack him unprepared and take him by surprise. Because the water division of the state of Wu was very powerful, the state of Chu thought at that time that the state of Wu should send their water division to come along the two rivers of Huaishui or Hanshui. However, Sun Wu changed his strategy during the march and asked his troops to abandon the water route and go directly to the land route. As soon as such a strategy came out, it directly caught the Chu army off guard. ”

"Originally, the Chu army also sent a lot of troops to prepare to attack Wu at the two rivers, but I didn't expect that the large army of Wu did not come. By the time they learned the news, Sun Wu had already sent an elite army of 3,500 people directly to Hanshui and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Chu. Wu's sudden attack caught Chu by surprise. However, the state of Chu is still very strong in the end. In the face of Wu's attack, they still organized defensive troops. ”

Moreover, the State of Chu believes that the State of Wu also has a weakness in attacking the State of Chu, that is, the front is too long, and it is impossible for them to consume it. In fact, Sun Wu also recognized the shortcomings of Wu's side. Therefore, when he led the Wu army, he adopted the strategy of [feeding the enemy]. That is, every time he hits a place, he eats and consumes the grain and grass of the nearby Chu State. To use our modern parlance, it is to feed war with war. ”

As soon as these operations came out, a group of students and the audience in the live broadcast room were already boiling.

"More than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors had such a bullish military strategy."

"Well, the admired five-body throw, no wonder it is the ancestor of the soldiers."

"Everyone, have you noticed, Sun Wu also invented a blitzkrieg in this."

"Where?"

"You see, Sun Wu sent a force of 3,500 men to attack the hinterland of Chu, which was the prototype of the blitzkrieg. Through this army, as long as Wu State tore a hole in Chu State, then the entire Wu army could use this opening to expand the results of the battle. ”

"Sister, it turns out that there is still a hand here."

At this time, everyone had already thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that Sun Wu admired.

"And that's not all. Sun Wu's strategic thinking was also different from that of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the battles between various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period were basically a decisive victory. That is, after the large army was assembled, the two sides began to attack. After the attack, it will be known which side wins and which side loses. However, Sun Wu believes that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. The whole battle was far more than just a war that could be decided, so he began to play his previous tired strategy for the Chu State again. When encountering the Chu army, he can fight if he can, and run away if he can't win. Or, even if you sometimes win, you pretend that you can't run away. The Chu army failed to anticipate the strategy of the Wu army, so they took the initiative to attack, and even pursued the victory. As a result, after they caught up, they fell into an ambush designed by Sun Wu and defeated the Chu army for a while. ”

The whole battle scene is getting more and more burning.

The crowd also became more and more excited.

In fact, they didn't have much interest in Wu Guo before.

They are for the state of Qi, for the state of Chu, for the state of Qin...... These big countries are more interested.

After all, whether it is Wu or Yue, in the eyes of many people, they are small countries.

Even if they were really strong for a while, they weren't very strong.

In particular, the king of Wu was finally destroyed by Gou Jian, and everyone was even less interested in Wu State.

They felt that the king of Wu was like that, he didn't have much ambition, and defeated the Yue State and left him a chance, and finally let the Wu State perish.

Furthermore.

Previously, when Chen Fan talked about Yue Guo, he also said that Wu Guofu sent his loyal minister Wu Zizi to commit suicide, which made everyone full of hatred for Wu Guo.

But even so.

When they heard that Sun Wu led the army of Wu to continuously defeat the Chu State, everyone had been completely conquered by Sun Wu.

This is not only Sun Wu leading his troops to fight a powerful war.

Even more powerful is his military thinking.

Look at the present.

Only a few battles have been fought, but a series of military thoughts about Sun Wu have flowed out unnaturally.

[The soldier is fast. 】

[Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent. 】

[Win a hundred battles, the good who is not good, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good who are good. 】

[Go to the army to plan, then cut the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city again. 】

It's a pity.

After all, Wu Guo was only a little awesome, and Sun Wu couldn't achieve the highest level of surrendering without a fight.

But even so.

Sun Wu led 30,000 troops to defeat the strong with the weak, but the momentum of defeating the Chu army made everyone applaud.

In the end, under the command of Sun Wu, the state of Wu won five battles and five victories, and directly attacked the capital of the state of Chu. Faced with such a situation, the king of Chu fled from the capital of Chu. When the people of Chu heard that the king of Chu had fled, the entire country and the morale of the army were shaken for a while. For this reason, the state of Wu was also in the capital of the state of Chu and occupied it for as long as 1 year. ”

Throughout Sun Wu's life, he actually did not experience too many battles.

There is a record, that is, this battle of Baiju with 30,000 people against 200,000 people in the Chu State.

It's just that though.

This war not only changed the situation of the great powers in the entire Spring and Autumn Period, but also had an incomparably great impact on the Warring States in later generations.

But.

And that's not the end of it.

Chen Fan continued: "When the Wu army broke through the capital of Chu, Sun Wu advised the king of Wu to withdraw immediately. He also said that Wu Guo's long-term attack on Chu is also a huge consumption for Wu Guo, and if he stays in Chu for a long time, it will be a huge harm to Wu Guo. Second, Sun Wu believed that although Wu captured the capital of Chu, the territory of Chu was very large, and they were not completely defeated, and they could still make a comeback. Moreover, there are too many talents in Chu, once the Chu State counterattacks, the Wu State may not be able to defend it. Third, that is, the state of Wu raised troops to capture the capital of the state of Chu, which also made the state of Wu itself empty. Once there is a problem in Wu's country, it will be a double blow for Wu. ”

But unfortunately, King Wu did not listen to Sun Wu's advice. At this time, he was carried away by the victory, in the face of this huge success, the king of Wu allowed the soldiers to burn and loot the Chu State, which also made the people of the Chu State hate the Wu State even more, and sure enough, in less than a year, the younger brother of the King of Wu ran to the Wu State to establish himself as the king. The state of Chu again asked the state of Qin for help, and the state of Qin sent a large army to attack the king of Wu. Under internal and external troubles, King Wu had no choice but to lead his army back to China to quell Fuji's rebellion. ”

"Teacher Chen Fan, what about Sun Wu?"

"Later."

Chen Fan sighed: "Sun Wu saw that King Wu had become arrogant and arrogant, and he had lost confidence in King Wu. In fact, Sun Wu was originally a man who hated war. He studied the art of war, that is, he wanted to stop the war with war. Just like his name, Sun Wu's martial arts, stop fighting for martial arts. However, although King Wu can be a hero for a while, he cannot dominate the world. Sun Wu, who was disheartened by Wu Guo, chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and when Sun Wu was in seclusion, he wrote a masterpiece of war with the experience of the art of war that he had summarized over the years. The name of this work is called "The Art of War" ......"

And because this art of war is too domineering, shameless, treacherous, and villainous......

That's why people also call Sun Wu grandson.
