The Zhu Biao brothers looked at each other with ugly faces, not knowing how to answer.

Looking at the world, I am afraid that the only person who dares to put forward paradoxes about the military decisions of his father and General Xu is Mr. Lin.

"Let's go back to the Three Kingdoms, everyone knows that among the Three Kingdoms, Wei is the strongest, Eastern Wu is the second, and Shu Han is the weakest."

"In fact, this view is wrong, when Liu Bei took Yizhou, the strength of Shu Han reached its peak, and it was not inferior to Wei and Wu."

Lin Che took a sip of tea from the teacup and continued:

"It's a pity that the period of strength is very short, this period of Shu Han sits on Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong region, the east can attack the Central Plains, the north can take Guanzhong important land, and you can also go south along the Yangtze River."

"During this period, whether in terms of strategic situation or the scale of troops, Shu Han was enough to compete with Cao Wei and Eastern Wu."

"Under such a good situation in Shu Han, the whole situation has changed because of one thing."

"What should you know?"

Lin Che put down the teacup and asked lightly.

"Guan Yu has lost the military stronghold of Jingzhou!"

Zhu Biao replied directly without the slightest hesitation.

"Not bad!"

Lin Che nodded and agreed:

"Guan Yu not only lost Jingzhou, but was also captured by Wu's general Lü Meng, and finally lost his life."

"This incident directly led to Shu Han and Eastern Wu turning against each other, and the alliance of years collapsed, and the situation took a sharp turn."

"In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei poured all his troops into a crusade against Eastern Wu, but in the Battle of Yiling, he was burned by Lu Xun for 700 miles and returned defeated."

"Shu Han has been in a slump since then, and he has completely lost the capital to compete with Cao Wei."

"The turtle is cowering in a corner of Yizhou, and occasional attacks will not pose a big threat to Cao Wei."

"The people and even some scholars attribute the reason for the final fall of Shu Han to Guan Yu's carelessness in Jingzhou, in fact, even if the situation at that time was changed to Zhuge Liang, the result was the same."

"If you really want to say wrong, it's wrong when Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, on Liu Bei's "Longzhong Pair", Zhuge Liang's judgment of the world from the beginning was biased."

"And as Shu Han's strength became stronger and stronger, Zhuge Liang did not modify his judgment, and his mistakes became deeper and deeper until Shu Han fell..."

Speaking of this, Lin Che glanced at Zhu Fan, who was a little dull, and asked angrily:

"We're lecturing, what are you thinking?"

"You don't even know Zhuge Wuhou's "Longzhong Pair", right?"

"If that's the case, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible, we really can't teach a student like you!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Zhu Fan suddenly tensed, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said:

"Sir!"

"We know this "Longzhong Pair"!"

"We were just thinking... What went wrong with this "Longzhong Pair"! ”

"Zhuge Wuhou's "Longzhong Pair" helped Liu Bei initially set the strategic direction and goals, and I can't see anything wrong!"

"We know Liu Bei at that time, but he had nothing, and he could only live in Jiangdong Liu Biao who was chased by Cao Cao, and with Wuhou's suggestion, isn't it good?"

Hear the words.

Lin Che glanced at the other party curiously, this kid still knows a little about the Three Kingdoms, and he actually knows that Liu Bei lives in Jiangdong.

However, this kid often has only a superficial understanding of knowledge.

When it comes to something deep, you can't say why.

Lin Che said politely:

"On the surface, there is really nothing wrong with "Longzhong Pair", but if you analyze it carefully, you can see the problem."

""Longzhong Pair" proposes to let Liu Bei occupy Jingzhou, but also to unite with Eastern Wu and resist Cao Wei."

"There is a huge problem here, you must know that Jingzhou is the sphere of influence of Eastern Wu, a strategic place, you want to occupy other people's Jingzhou, isn't this digging the corner of other people's walls, will Dongwu join forces with you to resist Cao."

"Even if there is a short-term joint anti-Cao, but at the root, the two families have formed a deep hatred."

"How important is the status of Jingzhou, it is a military important place for Cao, Shu and Wu to compete for. It was especially important for Eastern Wu, and once Jingzhou was lost, it was tantamount to exposing the hinterland to Cao Wei. ”

"To put it bluntly, Jingzhou is related to the existence of national fortunes for Eastern Wu, that is to say, Shu Han's seizure of Jingzhou is actually pushing the ally of Eastern Wu to Cao Wei."

"Let's put aside the surface and look at the essence of the problem, it is not that Guan Yu's arrogance and complacency made Dongwu take Jingzhou, but because Jingzhou is in the hands of others, and the threat to Dongwu is too great, and it must be taken down."

"Even if Zhuge Wuhou personally sits in Jingzhou, it will inevitably be lost!"

"Therefore, from the beginning of Zhuge Wuhou's "Longzhong Pair" planning, it was a failure to formulate this strategy!"

"In the same way, the same is true of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Emperor Hongwu was wrong in planning the Northern Expedition from the beginning, even if he changed halfway, it would be difficult to turn things around!"

The words fell.

Silent.

Zhu Biao sat there and fell into deep thought:

"The strength of Shu Han was originally insufficient compared to Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, but it was still in a land of thousands of miles, and the strength was divided into three."

"Liu Bei subdued the land of Yizhou, and then attacked Hanzhong, and the most important place of Jingzhou, only some soldiers and horses of Guan Yu, could not send troops to reinforce Jingzhou at all."

"So... Before the loss of Jingzhou, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng, was it right? ”

"If there is no surprise attack by Eastern Wu, then after Guan Yu takes Fancheng, he and Jingzhou will become horns, and they can be attacked and retreated, and they will have many interests in defending Jingzhou."

"What is really wrong is that Zhuge Liang must take Hanzhong at this critical moment, causing Shu and Han to use troops in three places, and when Eastern Wu attacked Jingzhou, Liu Bei had no troops to reinforce at all."

"In this way, Zhuge Wuhou's strategy of dividing troops is a big mistake, and it also led to the success of the sneak attack of Eastern Wu, and Shu Han has been declining since then!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao looked at Lin Che in disbelief.

"Sir said that there are so many Three Kingdoms, and the reason why Shu Han fell into decline is that Jingzhou was lost."

"And the reason for the loss of Jingzhou lies in Zhuge Wuhou's strategy of dividing troops."

"What Mr. means, the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably fail if it divides its troops and attacks!"

Lin Che looked at Zhu Biao approvingly, and couldn't help nodding:

"You're much better than your brother, you'll understand when we say that!"

"That's true!"

"Yizhou and Hanzhong are thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and when Eastern Wu raided Jingzhou, even if Liu Bei had soldiers in his hands, he didn't have time to rescue."

"In the same way, the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty went deep into the vast grassland, and the three armies were divided into three routes, thousands of miles apart from each other."

"Once any army encounters the main force of the Northern Yuan, the other two will not have time to rush to the aid at all."

"You say, in the vast grassland, thousands of miles of grassland, dividing the army, isn't this looking for your own death?"

Speaking of this, Lin Che sighed:

"Although Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are both famous generals in the world, but the Ming Dynasty is dominated by infantry troops, although the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry is far inferior to the era of Genghis Khan, it dominates the world and is unmatched."

"But when the cavalry meets the infantry, the cavalry still occupies an absolute advantage in the flat and unobstructed grassland."

"Once there is no advantage in troops, the Ming army is afraid that it will encounter great risks."

"Therefore, the decision to divide the troops and attack together is extremely stupid!"
