768: Eleven and Nine Places

Sun Tzu said: In the art of using war, there are scattered land, light land, contentious land, handover land, Qu land, heavy land, encircled land, encircled land, and dead land. The place where the princes fought for themselves was scattered. He who enters the land of man but does not go deep is a light land. I will benefit from it, and Peter will benefit from it, for the sake of the land. I can go, and he can come, for the land. The land of the princes belongs to the three genera, and the one who comes first and wins the people of the world is Qudi. The land that enters the people is deep, and there are many cities and towns behind it, which is an important land. Walking in the mountains and forests, dangers, and frustration, those who are difficult to walk are the land. Those who enter are narrow, those who return from them, and those who can strike at our people are encircled. Those who fight will survive, and those who do not fight will die. Therefore, there is no war in scattered land, there is no end in light land, there is no attack in the land contention, there is no end in the handover of the land, there is no friendship in the Qu land, the heavy land is plundered, the land is encircled, the land is plotted, and the dead land is warned.

The so-called good use of soldiers in ancient times can make the enemy not close to each other, the outnumbered and the outnumbered, the noble and the lowly do not save each other, the upper and lower do not collect each other, the pawns are separated but not gathered, and the soldiers are combined but not together. Move in line with the profit, and stop at the point of not the benefit. Dare to ask: 'What will happen to the enemy in the future?' He said, "If you take what you love, you will listen." 'The love of the soldier is the main speed, taking advantage of the lack of time, from the way of danger, attacking what it does not stop.

Where the way of hospitality, in-depth is specialized, and the master does not refuse; plundered in the wilderness, and the three armies ate enough; It is unfathomable to be cautious and not to work, and to accumulate strength and transport troops. Throw nowhere to go, die and not north. Death is not possible, and the scholars do their best. If a soldier is trapped, he is not afraid, if he has nothing to do, if he goes deep, he will be detained, and if he has to fight. Therefore, his soldiers do not cultivate and prescribe, do not ask for it, do not ask for it, and believe it without orders. Forbid to doubt, and there is nothing to do until death. We have no money to spare, and we are not evil goods; There is no life left, and it is not an evil life. On the day of the order, those who sit on the soldiers are stained with tears, and those who lie down are wept. Those who go nowhere, all and the courage of the people.

Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, such as those who are reckless; Those who are reckless are also the snakes of the mountains. Hit its head and tail will come, hit its tail will be the first to come, and hit it all the way to the end. Dare to ask: 'Can a soldier be so reckless?' He said, "Yes." 'The Fu Wu people and the Yue people are also evil, when they are in the same boat, when they meet the wind, they save each other, such as the left and right hands. It is the horse that buries the wheel, and it is not enough to worry about it; If you are brave, the way of government is also; Both rigidity and softness are obtained, and the principles of the earth are also. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, if they join hands to make one person, they have no choice but to do so.

The general's affairs are quiet and quiet, and they are being treated. It can make fools their eyes and ears ignorant; Easy to do things, change their strategies, make people ignorant; Easy to live, detour, so that people do not worry. Handsome with the period, such as climbing high and going to its ladder. Shuai and he went deep into the land of the princes, and took the opportunity, burned the boat and broke the cauldron, if the flock of sheep was driven, driven to, driven to, and driven, I don't know what to do. Gather the people of the three armies and put them in danger, and this matter of General Wei is also. The changes in the nine places, the benefits of bending and stretching, and the reason of human feelings, must not be overlooked.

Where the way of hospitality, deep is specialized, shallow is scattered. Those who go to the border to learn are Jedi; Those who reach the four are also in Qudi; Those who go deep are also heavy on the ground; Those who enter the shallow, the light ground also; The back is fixed in the front pass, and the ground is also enclosed; Those who have nothing to do will die. It is a scattered place, and I will have a will; Light land, I will make it belong; Fight for land, I will follow behind; I will guard the land; Qudi, I will consolidate its knots; Heavy land, I will follow its food; I will enter the ground; Enclose the land, I will stuff it; Dead, I will show that I will not live. Therefore, the feelings of the soldiers, the siege is royal, the last resort is to fight, and the past is from.

Therefore, those who do not know the plots of the princes cannot pay in advance; Those who do not know the shape of mountains and forests, dangers, and frustration cannot march; If you don't use a village guide, you can't get the location. Four or five, I don't know one, and the soldiers who are not overlords are also. If the army of the overlord is defeated, the crowd will not be gathered; If the power is added to the enemy, they will not be able to get along. Therefore, it does not fight for the friendship of the world, does not maintain the power of the world, believes in its own selfishness, and threatens the enemy, so its city can be pulled out, and its country can be conquered. Give the reward of the unlawful, hang the order of the government, and commit the crowd of the three armies, if one is made. If you commit a crime, don't tell it; Do not sue for harm if you commit a crime. Cast into the land of death and then survive, fall into the land of death and then live. The husband is in harm's way, and then he can win or lose. Therefore, the matter of the soldier lies in following the enemy's intentions, and the enemy has always been killing the generals for thousands of miles.

It is the day of the old government, and there is no way to make it; Powerful on the Lang Temple, in order to punish it. When the enemy opens and closes, he will rush in. First of what he loves, and then he is in the future. Practice ink with the enemy, to fight a decisive battle. It is like a virgin, and the enemy opens an account; After taking off the rabbit, the enemy is too late to refuse.

"For these nine places, we can take a look at Li Shuoxue's night attack on Caizhou and capture Wu Yuanji alive. In 807 AD, Tang Xianzong successfully quelled the rebellion of the three towns of Xichuan, Xiasui and Zhenhai, and began to crusade against the separatist forces of Huaixi and Chengde. Li Shuo's surprise attack on Caizhou was an example of the Tang imperial army's pacification of Huaixi Jiedu and Wu Yuanji's secession of forces.

In this surprise attack battle, Li Shuo formulated a strategy of attacking the enemy by taking advantage of the steep terrain and bad weather in response to the war-weariness of the soldiers due to repeated defeats, so as to stabilize the soldiers' emotions and strengthen their determination to fight to the death. In the end, his army captured the city of Caizhou on a snowy night and captured Wu Yuanji alive. The victory in this battle played a decisive role in pacifying the separatist forces of the feudal towns of Huaixi and Chengde.

It can be seen from the process of Li Shuo's surprise attack on Caizhou and his victory that Li Shuo is not only familiar with some important principles of troop use mentioned by Sun Tzu, such as showing weakness to confuse the enemy, fighting quickly and decisively, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and so on, but he is also good at making use of the psychological influence of the terrain, climate, and other combat conditions on the soldiers according to their psychological state, so as to ensure that the army's combat effectiveness is brought into full play. This is what "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Nine Lands" says, 'Cast into the place of death and then survive, and fall into the place of death and then live'. Li Shuo knew very well that he was leading an army that had been defeated many times and whose soldiers had been affected, and that in order for this army to be effective, it was necessary to put the soldiers in a harsh environment. Therefore, he chose a snowy and cold night, and let the soldiers 'attack what they do not quit in the way of danger', and the last move was successful. Li Shuo's guidance according to the situation, the use of troops according to the situation, and his outstanding operational command that combined the principles of the art of war with geographical conditions have established his position in the history of military warfare. ”
