[Vol. 1] Section 123: Analysis of the Mayi Stratagem

------------

We must have been very depressed after the failure of the Ma Yi scheme.

History has never lacked failed schemes, nor has there been no shortage of inexplicable wars. However, in view of the wealth of information revealed by the Ma Yi scheme, we still need to hold a seminar to conduct a unique analysis of this matter, which we hope will be useful in raising our international perspective.

This is not the first time we have held a seminar, we held it once after the rebellion of Yan Wang Zang Di, and at that time we were fortunate to invite Liu Bang, Lu Xuan, Zang Di and other guests, and our topic focused on the art of the emperor.

At this seminar on the strategy of Ma Yi, we were also fortunate to invite His Majesty Liu Che, military minister Shan Yu, Dr. Han Anguo, Wang Hui, Squire Nie Weng Yi and other guests to attend. We don't know if the guests want to speak, but we've put a lot of effort into security, which means we're not allowed to carry weapons. In order to meet the needs of everyone to shoot bricks and irrigate, the organizer specially customized safety plate bricks and irrigation devices, please "civilized bricks, polite irrigation".

What did you say, classmate? Please be louder? Oh, you're saying that Wang Hui is dead, why is it still scary?

The question is this, for us, the guests present are all dead, but the charm of history lies in this, no matter who is ancient, we can still have a long talk with them through history, they are not cold, let alone rigid, on the contrary, they are eternal, they are flexible. We use the panacea of history to regenerate them and bring them to life. So, without further ado, let's get to the point.

Let's first think about a question that throws bricks and stones, what is the background of Ma Yi's conspiracy?

I believe that the background of Ma Yi's conspiracy is very clear to you, and some people can even summarize it in one sentence as the Han Dynasty has become strong and capable of solving border problems after nearly 70 years of recuperation.

Such a conclusion seems to be very correct on the surface, but if you play with it carefully, you can only chew the bone residue, but you can't chew the taste.

There is no doubt that the national strength of the Han Dynasty has indeed become stronger, which has become the basis of Ma Yi's strategy, but if Ma Yi's strategy is only a factor of national strength, I believe that Liu Che's fathers will also make a few Ma Yi strategies to adjust the life in the frontier.

Some people say that the Gaozu era could not fight the Xiongnu because of national strength, but we saw Liu Bang and the Xiongnu fighting, at that time, the Xiongnu had just risen, and Liu Bang almost unified the world at the same time, it should be said that the foundation of the two countries is thin, and the two ** teams have been in battle for a long time. Under the same conditions, Liu Bang lost, was surrounded by people and had no temper at all, and obediently sent women and a lot of wealth to the Xiongnu in exchange for temporary peace.

In order to cover up this fear, everyone unified the caliber and said that the reason was that the national strength was weak and the people needed to recuperate.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of fear has been inherited, and even the national strength of the Wenjing era has developed greatly, and it can fight but does not fight, and wants to fight but is not sure to fight. In fact, whether it is Emperor Wen or Emperor Jing, they are very clear that their national strength is developing, the Xiongnu are not idle, they not only have a settled base, but also developed a simple handicraft industry, the scale of animal husbandry has reached a rare point, if you are lucky enough to go to the Xiongnu sightseeing tour, you will definitely be amazed by the endless herds of cattle, sheep and horses like floating clouds.

Don't be excited, now is not the Huns' tourism promotion meeting, you don't have to stand up to introduce your country's achievements, we will give a brief introduction to your country, please sit down, please sit down.

After the previous introduction, I believe you will have an intuitive understanding that two countries that started at the same time are also developing at a high speed, how can you be sure that your national strength can surpass it and defeat it?

"I'm going to interject!" Military Minister Shan Yu stood up and said.

"Please!"

"My country's inheritance system is better than that of the Han Dynasty, and sooner or later there will inevitably be a few foolish monarchs in their set of things to mess up the country, and my Great Huns are the strong ones who are kings, and the capable ones live in them!"

"I'm against it! He's slandering the big man! Han Anguo shouted loudly.

"Don't get excited, sit down, sit down."

In fact, although Mr. Liu Che did not say a word, I believe that he agrees very much, he is a smart man, and he understands very well that it is very foolish to rely on time to drag down the Xiongnu or hope that the national strength will far exceed that of the Xiongnu.

Mr. Liu Che is also a person with a very international perspective, although the Xiongnu people live as nomads, he cannot guarantee that their descendants will not be interested in settlement, once this happens, then the Han will face extinction even if it is an iron bucket.

I believe that this question is not only Liu Che who has thought about it, I believe that his father and his grandfather have also thought about it deeply, and they have passed down the results of their thinking for many years.

I think, having said this, the result of this wisdom has gradually become clear, and it is also the deep-seated reason that led to this Ma Yi conspiracy, but it cannot be made public.

"What the hell is it that scares me?" Han Anguo was anxious.

"Don't worry, Doctor Han, please sit down, Liu Che's choice is actually very simple and extremely smart, I'll drink saliva first!"

"Say it, say it!" All the participants of the seminar waved the bricks and shouted in unison, looking at this posture, they were about to slap the bricks, only Liu Che was still expressionless.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "The pressure of public opinion is great! “

"Liu Che's choice is actually very simple, it can be summed up in two words, that is, containment!"

Liu Che's figure trembled slightly, but the face of the military minister turned pale.

The word containment is all too familiar to us, for example, curbing the price is not growing too fast, curbing the price is not growing too fast, our ears have already heard calluses, but we don't know that our ancestors also used this method.

From the beginning of Liu Che's ascension to the throne, regardless of the national strength, containing the development of the Xiongnu became his only choice. For this reason, Liu Che will burn the flames of war to the heart of the Xiongnu again and again, so that the Xiongnu neighbors will not have a good life. In this way, Liu Che is like doing business with the Huns, if you don't let me have a good time, then I can't make you feel better.

So far, our first question has been answered, Ma Yi's strategy is essentially the beginning of containing the Xiongnu, but Liu Che chose the extreme way, war.

Ma Yi's plan originated by chance, but it was the crystallization of Liu's ancestors thinking for several years. On the shoulders of his ancestors, Liu Che has an extraordinary international vision, and his methods in dealing with international issues are becoming more and more diversified, which we will gradually appreciate in the future.

His ability to defy public opinion and make a decision to send troops proves that he has been prepared for a long time. When the 300,000 army returned from defeat, when many people thought that Wang Hui had the possibility of immortality, and even the queen mother came to intercede with Liu Che in person, Liu Che still insisted on executing Wang Hui, obviously he had already prepared.

Although Wang Hui is the initiator, he is not the only one who goes to the frontier to make soy sauce, like Han Anguo, famous generals such as Li Guangzhi have found nothing, not to mention him, a half-hung general. However, Liu Che really needs someone to carry this black pot for him, so Wang Hui is naturally the best choice.

"Long live understanding!" Wang Hui stood up and shouted.

"Brother Wang, don't get excited, sit down, sit down."

For the young Liu Che, Ma Yi's conspiracy cannot be regarded as a failure, it is actually a fortune and a rare experience.

He at least clearly saw that the Xiongnu were not as stupid as they thought, and the decoy war was not suitable for them. You have worked hard to set up a game, even if he steps in, you can't do anything about him, because his horse is fast enough to get him out of the trap, not to mention that he also has a keen sense of smell.

This kind of plot can still be withstood once or twice, and I am afraid that the prey will not be caught a few more times, and the hunter will be played to death. Obviously, Liu Che didn't want to do this kind of thing all the time.

He wants a real record. Ma Yi's strategy, which has no record, just gave Liu Che a deeper insight into the selection of the coach. Han Anguo is good at defending the city and lacks attack ability. Wang Hui can speak well, but he hesitates to go to the battlefield, and does not have the courage and tenacity to fight to the end. Li Guang was brave and fierce, and it was difficult to control the overall situation.

In view of this, Liu Che has a clear judgment on the coach, to take on the heavy responsibility, must say less and do more, must be persevering, and must be able to do good. With these understandings, Liu Che paid more attention to discovering the generals around him. The hard work paid off, and it wasn't long before he finally discovered a unique general.

Finally, it was time to say goodbye, and in this seminar, we analyzed history from different perspectives, and this analysis improved our international perspective, and it taught us to take into account the development of the Xiongnu while observing the development of the Han Dynasty. Then we found a trendy keyword, containment.

In the disputes between countries, since a slap in the face cannot kill others, of course, no one wants to slap to death a country that could have lived amicably, but in order to avoid aggression, there is no other way but to contain it. It can be said that whoever can take the lead in containing the other party will have more chances of winning.

Historically, the purpose of containment has been nothing more than this, to go the way of one's own country, and eventually leave other countries with no way out.

This is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

This is the end of the seminar, and those who are interested are invited to shoot bricks.
