Chapter 34 Soldiers are impermanent, and the best defense is offense
"Xiang Yu is like a tiger, born unsocial, and Liu Bang and several of his generals are wolves. For thousands of years, the story of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu has made people sigh, but I don't know that these two are really not the same kind of people. Except for a few limited generals, Xiang Yu did not have a few helpers among the kings he divided, and the righteous king he killed was more like an edict of guilt, and he was used as an excuse to be attacked several times and became a public enemy of the world. Han Xin, Yingbu and others are all Xiang Yu's old subordinates, and they don't have a big grudge with each other, all because of some unimportant reasons, Yingbu is even more because Liu Bang faction followed He to implement a counter-plot and betrayed Liu Bang, and they all became Xiang Yu's mortal enemies.
"And Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have a big difference. When Han Xin and Yingbu were still in Xiang Yu's camp, he deliberately wooed them. After Han Xin obtained the land of Qi, he asked to be crowned the king of Qi, although Liu Bang was angry and had murderous intentions, but he still agreed happily, and finally had to attack Xiang Yu with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu.
"Liu Bang has never won against Xiang Yu alone, but he is full of resilience and has been defeated repeatedly. Fail once, occupy some places, pull a few more helpers, and save more strength. Liu Bangshi is a wolf and a master of wolf control, while Xiang Yu is a tiger, he is not a kind of person, and he is not playing a kind of chess. Liu Bang calculated how he would last live, and Xiang Yu only needed to defeat his opponent. Here we might as well put Sun Tzu's words: 'Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then invincible to the enemy.' You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, and they cannot make the enemy win', and the victory is slightly modified by death, this sentence is in line with the situation of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then, Liu Bang first is not able to die, and he will not die several times, so as to wait for Xiang Yu to die, and Xiang Yu is a defeat and death.
"Liu Bang is the most proficient at playing Go, and he has always regarded the overall situation as a matter of life and death, and there is nothing important except death. Strive to keep their two granaries in Guanzhong and Sichuan without losing, resist Xiang Yu's westward advance in Chenggao, western Henan, and start a war on the Central Plains occupied by Xiang Yu. Although many times the battle is very embarrassing, with more defeats and fewer victories, he can fight a battle to live a place and occupy more of Xiang Yu's plates.
"Liu Bang pursues survival, is flexible and flexible, and is never one one, two is two. Even the old father can be separated from Xiang Yu. At that time, Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang to cook his father, Liu Bang actually thought that he had been a brother with Xiang Yu, and his father was also Xiang Yu's father, and he also wanted to get a piece of the pie, Xiang Yu had no way to do it, so he had to put it back.
Xiang Yu is different, he only knows victory and defeat, likes big wins, full wins, and wins beautifully. But he uses the success and failure of playing chess to understand Go, and it is inevitable that he will fail. It is extremely brave, and if he loses once, he will lose face to Jiangdong and kill himself in Wujiang. If Liu Bang is like this, he should have died dozens of times, where is there still a hundred years of the later Han Dynasty?
The two behaved like this, so there is a saying in history that Xiang Yu is a hero and Liu Bang is a scoundrel. Later generations always sigh that Xiang Yu would rather kill himself than cross eastward, some people feel its tragedy, and some people regret it, the most famous of which is Du Mu's "Wujiang Pavilion", whose poem reads: "The victory and defeat of the army are unexpected, and the shame is a man." Jiangdong's children are talented, and the comeback is unknown', but it is said that he should be ashamed and endure in order to make a comeback, and he is a really good man. ”
King Yun was talking about Zhengxing, and suddenly someone behind him read:
"Since ancient times, the rise and fall of heaven is heaven, and manpower is not allowed to predict it.
If it is not based on the sky and the death of the horse, the horse is idle if it does not move forward.
The heroes of the world pulled out the mountain, but they didn't know that the will of heaven was in Xiguan.
Fan Zeng could not be used, and he sighed in vain and died in an instant. ”
The sound of the swallow warbler is extremely good, and I know that my lover Zhu Shuzhen has arrived.
King Yun praised loudly: "Good poems and good poems, both are talented women in the world, your "Song of History Xiang Yu" is better than Li Qingzhao's "Summer Quatrain" to write Xiang Yu." ”
Zhu Shuzhen smiled: "You praise like this, it is clearly selfish, not poetry." Yi'an Jushi wrote that Xiang Yu stood up to the sky and the earth, hunting in the majestic wind, and everyone in the world knew that poetry was still good for her. The reason why you think I'm okay is that we are together, and you think that I was a little right about Xiang Yu's defeat, because of it. ”
Xiang Yu was a hero through the ages and killed himself in Wujiang, and the descendants remembered a lot, and the Great Song Dynasty was due to the difficulty of Jingkang, and there were many chants in the world. Li Qingzhao sometimes has "life as a hero, death as a ghost." So far, thinking of Xiang Yu, he refuses to cross Jiangdong" The name of the poem moved for a while, and King Yun was also quite admired at the beginning. Later, he felt that Zhao Gou had difficulty establishing a country, and he was determined to be the capital of Lin'an, and the Great Song Dynasty was able to immortalize, which was really unexpected. I only felt that Xiang Yu's shameless move to Jiangdong was not worth a damn, so he took Yi Anshi lightly.
Song Shi said that Xiang Yu was not in harmony with Jiang Yi, Wang Anshi had already said something, and there was no difficulty in Jingkang at that time. He felt that Du Mu's "Wujiang Pavilion" said that Xiang Yu should be ashamed and endure in order to make a comeback, and then make "Overlapping Wujiang Pavilion":
The fatigue of a hundred battles is mourned, and it is difficult to return from a defeat in the Central Plains.
Although the children of Jiangdong are here now, are they willing to make a comeback with the king?
The meaning of the poem is that the frequent conquests have made the strong men feel tired and demoralized, the battle of the Central Plains has been lost, Xiang Yu is difficult to recover, and even if the children of Jiangdong are still there, it is unknown whether they are willing to follow the comeback.
King Yun is not only a son of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the change of Jingkang's overthrow of the country, whether it is Du Mu's saying that Xiang Yu should or should not make a comeback in shame, or Wang Anshi's discussion of whether he can or cannot, in short, it cannot be as brilliant as Liu Bang's establishment of the Han Dynasty. At present, the Great Song Dynasty has Zhao to establish a country after the Jingkang disaster, and there is a revival and restoration, which is most similar to the Han Dynasty, just as the Western Han Dynasty has the Eastern Han Dynasty after the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there is no Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty at this time.
is the so-called success and defeat of the king, King Yun has the deepest experience at this time, and he values Liu Bang more than Xiang Yu. If Jing Kangnian abandons Bian Jing, and then tries to follow, it will not be defeated, and the royal family will be exiled; If Zhao Gou didn't try to revive later, then there would be no more Great Song Dynasty.
Zhu Shuzhen said again: "Xiang Yu failed that year, the first thing to bear the brunt of was of course that he was not broad-minded, the pattern was not large, and the strategy was improper, and secondly, he was also a little unlucky, and the opponents he met were all extraordinary. Liu Bang's pattern and courage, Han Xin's use of troops, Zhang Liang's strategy, and Xiao He's aftermath needless to say, you have to explain Peng Yue's ability. ”
King Yun smiled: "That's nature. Among the heroes of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was like a god and made great contributions. However, Xiang Yu not only called it a crime of non-war, he thought that he was not weaker than anyone in the war, and he was also defeated by two fists because he was outnumbered, but he was not afraid of Han Xin. And although Peng Yue's use of troops was far inferior to Han Xin, it gave Xiang Yu the most headache. The reason why this is so is because Peng Yue is the first soldier who will fight to the death since ancient times, you advance and he retreats, you retreat and attack, you can't encircle, you can't retreat, you can't hide, you specialize in breaking it into parts, and scatter the whole attack. This method of warfare is called guerrilla warfare, which is the best way to win more with less, to attack the strong with the weak, and is also the most suitable for defense and holding each other. The reason why we talk about Go in the Chu-Han War today is precisely to let the two children use learning Go to study various tactics in the Chu-Han dispute. ”
Zhu Shuzhen turned her head: "If you tell the two children like this, you are not afraid that people will not understand." King Yun said with a smile: "The two of them are very endowed, and Marshal Han and others have high hopes for them, not for no reason." The same is true for Professor Liu Zhan's knowledge, leading them to look at the mysteries first, understand the profundity and ambition of them, and ensure that they are interested and ambitious. ”
Huaiying and Qijian both moved in their hearts: "It turns out that the Go exercise is one level higher than chess, and we have to study hard." ”
In this way, another year has passed, the two of them have played the famous chess games given by King Yun to be proficient, and the game is becoming more and more exquisite, King Yun sometimes personally gives instructions, from letting five sons to let three sons and two sons, and then let the first guess first, the two children gradually play decently, and King Yun has attack and defense against each other. Especially abandoning the disease, although there are fewer wins and more losses, it is vague that he can be the opponent of King Yun.
On this day, King Yun brought the "Thirteen Articles of Go" again, and said: "You study Go for the purpose of practicing the art of war, and the "Thirteen Articles of Go" is imitated from the "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War", which is the closest to the Art of War. ”
Huaiying took over two identical movable type printed booklets from King Yun, although they were far less precious than Xu Xuan's handwritten "Go Righteous Rules", but they were beautifully printed and could have one volume per person, but it was much more convenient for the two to use, and they couldn't put it down. During the reign of Song Renzong, Zhang Jing felt that Go was a "class of the art of war", in which the method of layout attack and killing was very similar to the arrangement of troops in military warfare, so he imitated "The Art of War" and wrote "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", which was divided into the first "Discussion of the Bureau", the second "Calculation", the third "Quan Yu", the fourth "Joint War", the fifth "Fiction and Reality", the sixth "Self-Knowledge", the seventh "Trial", the eighth "Degree", the ninth "Oblique Zheng", the tenth "Dongwei", the eleventh "Names", the twelfth "Character", and the thirteenth "Miscellaneous".
The two of them have Yun Wangping's professor first, and they have some foundation, and they are smart and intelligent, and they are easy to read. It's just that King Yun's guidance is in the middle of the chess, and it is inevitable that it will be fragmented, and the whole article is sprinkled, and the content system is specific, which can be described as broad and profound, all-encompassing. Throughout the book, we can not only see the whole picture, but also explain the context in detail, and what we get is different. The two of them realized that Go is more important in the overall situation, and it is necessary to have a chess game in the chest and abdomen first, plan and then move, plan in the far-reaching, and intend to play first.
Abandon the disease and see the fourth "Joint War", "I am outnumbered, and I will make a living first." I am outnumbered, and I must ...... his strength. Those who make up for the enemy when they have nothing to do have nothing to do have the intention of invading", I can't help but admire it very much.
Then see the seventh "Trial Bureau" in the "husband chess layout, business succession." From beginning to end, we are looking for ....... The situation has been won, and the focus is on survival. The situation has weakened, and it is determined to invade ....... If you are lonely, don't go. If the machine is in danger, don't go down. Therefore, chess has not to go, not to play. There are many people who mislead people, and those who succeed are just all the way. Those who can judge the game will win", I thought about it for a long time before I fully understood. In particular, "chess has not to go, not to play", there is a great courage to choose, chic to come and go, abandon the disease to know that beginners like themselves are inevitably sometimes biased, persistent in a thought, beyond this layer more need more temperament and pattern.
I also saw the thirteenth "Miscellaneous", "The chess player has the same life, the distance and the near complement, the strength and weakness, and the interests and harms, and we must not ignore it." It is to be safe but not Tai, and to exist but not arrogant. An and Tai are in danger, and if they survive and are arrogant, they will die. "Yi" said: 'The gentleman is safe and does not forget the danger, and survives but does not forget the death.' Not confined to the present, not angry about victory or defeat, kung fu is used outside of chess, and has entered another realm.
Read the book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning. Qi Ji and Huaiying are familiar with the "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", and they have a deeper chess theory, and the game is more and more exciting.
