Chapter 11: Thirty-six Strategies
Guo Jia put down the bamboo stick, stood up directly and walked out: "Follow me to greet the son." ”
After all, this is a strategy negotiated by Cao Cao, Xun Yu and himself, Cao Zhang actually saw through it, how could this brain and mind not make Guo Jia frightened?
When he came to find himself at this time, he must have a deep meaning, and Guo Jia didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Guo Jia came to the door and saluted Cao Zhang with a smile: "Ziwen Gongzi arrived, but he never greeted him from afar, and he hoped that Gongzi would forgive his sins." ”
Cao Zhang hurriedly bowed down and returned the salute: "The military advisor is polite, Cao Zhang took the liberty to come, and you are still out to greet you, and I am terrified." ”
Guo Jia waved his hand and asked: "Son, you're polite, please come in and speak." ”
The two came to the living room together and sat down as guests.
"What do you have to do when Childe came to me today, what do you mean by wanting to capture the four words?" Guo Jia deliberately pretended to be confused.
Cao Zhang responded with a smile: "I studied the military books and war strategies from the past and present at home, and I felt something, and after sorting it out, I summarized it into thirty-six plans. ”
"Thirty-six plans?" Guo Jia listened to Cao Zhang's words and was puzzled.
Cao Zhang's dislike of reading is famous, he was able to study military books and battle strategies, and even wrote a thirty-six plan?
Cao Zhang took out a bamboo slip from his arms and sent it to Guo Jia: "Please ask the military advisor to sacrifice wine and look at it." ”
Guo Jia took the bamboo slip and unfolded it, and looked at it seriously.
Cao Zhang smiled and looked at Guo Jia quietly.
After thinking calmly, he guessed Cao Cao's true intention of announcing the end of the case and no longer pursuing it - just to paralyze Cao Pi and lead him to reveal more flaws.
This matter was announced by Guo Jialai, which means that he is responsible.
Cao Zhang already had the idea of befriending Cao Cao's advisers, which undoubtedly gave him an opportunity to get close to Guo Jia and show himself.
Guo Jianai is a genius, and the phrase "Fengxiao does not die, and Wolong does not come out" is a recognition of his ability.
If you want to get Guo Jia's approval, it is obviously not enough to be able to see through their "desire to get away with it". He must show more outstanding points in order for Guo Jia to admit his abilities and support himself in front of Cao Cao.
As a military advisor, Guo Jia must be interested in the art of war and war strategy. He must be familiar with classics such as "The Art of War" and "Liutao", and only by coming up with a war strategy that he does not understand can he succeed.
Cao Zhang finally decided to sort out the "Thirty-six Strategies", which originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was written in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was widely circulated in later generations.
"My thirty-six plans, every six are one set, a total of six sets."
"I have chosen different names, which are the strategy of victory, the battle of the enemy, and the strategy of attack, which are the strategies used when I am in an advantage."
"The strategy of melee, the strategy of battle, and the strategy of defeat are the strategies used when you are at a disadvantage."
Cao Zhang saw Guo Jia looking at the bamboo slips and briefly introduced him.
Guo Jia listened to Cao Zhang's explanation, and looked at the detailed introduction of each set of strategies on the bamboo slips.
"The victors have a total of six strategies, namely: hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, encircling Wei to save Zhao, borrowing a knife to kill, waiting for work, taking advantage of the fire to rob and attacking the west."
"It is a strategy in an absolutely dominant position, and it is a tactic of the monarch and the ministers, the big and the small." Guo Jia couldn't help but whisper while watching.
"Yes, in the past, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban besieged Kong Rong in Beihai, and Tai Shi Ci decided to break through the siege and move the rescue soldiers in order to repay Kong Rong's adoptive mother's kindness."
"He took his soldiers out of the city every day to practice riding and archery in front of the Yellow Turban barracks, and over time, the other party became accustomed to it, and he relaxed his vigilance."
"Tai Shici acted suddenly, broke through the siege, and invited rescuers to relieve the siege of Beihai, and what he used was to hide from the sky and cross the sea." ……
Cao Zhang followed Guo Jia's words, and held up examples to explain each plan in detail.
He did his homework and made clever answers to strategies that had not yet happened, such as the empty city plan, so there was no goof.
Guo Jia listened to it one by one, and the subtle changes in it were shocking to hear.
As a top military advisor, he could naturally distinguish the profundity of the thirty-six strategies.
Thinking that if these strategies can be used against the enemy and win by attacking the enemy, Guo Jia's heart is also full of passion, and his blood is gushing.
"If you want to capture the old and indulge, it comes from the offensive strategy: if you force it, you will fight back; If you go, you will reduce the momentum, and don't be pressed. Tired of its strength, eliminate its fighting spirit, scatter and then capture, the soldiers are not bloody. ”
"A few days ago, my father led troops to attack Zhang Xiu again, and he couldn't attack for a long time and was ready to retreat."
"At that time, our army had Liu Biao in front of it, and Zhang Xiu pursued the soldiers in the back, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen, and the situation was very dangerous."
"Father ordered the baggage to be withdrawn first, and the elite soldiers were ambushed. Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu thought that our army had all retreated and pursued with all their might, but they were ambushed and defeated by our army. ”
"My father's strategy to defeat Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao that day, and the way to deal with the murder of the second brother today, should all be regarded as trying to capture the old man, what does the military advisor think?"
Cao Zhang deliberately left the plan to the end, and explained it in connection with reality, and finally deliberately asked Guo Jia questions.
Guo Jia stood up and bowed to Cao Zhangshen.
Cao Zhang also hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "What is Guo Junshi doing, isn't it torturing Cao Zhang." ”
"Gongzi is highly talented, writing such an unfathomable military book and strategy of thirty-six strategies, Guo Jia read it like an enlightenment, and benefited a lot, so he should worship Gongzi."
"As for Childe's last question just now, I don't need to give you another answer, right?" Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Cao Zhang and said.
Cao Zhang understood that as Guo Jia, he naturally could not directly inform himself of Cao Cao's arrangement, and could only respond in this ambiguous way, in case it reached Cao Cao's ears in the future, he would not be punished.
Cao Zhang looked at Guo Jia and nodded with a smile, and did not continue to ask.
"There's something unclear below, and I hope that Childe can give advice."
"The military advisor wants to ask, how can I write such a strategy as "Thirty-six Strategies"? Cao Zhang said with a smile.
"My father has warned me many times in the past to study more, but I have always disagreed, and I only know how to train and practice martial arts."
"I was greatly touched by the death of my eldest brother in Wancheng last year, and I also understand that martial arts are not enough, and I also need to know the art of war in order to really help my father."
"From that time on, I began to study all kinds of ancient books and strategies, plus some of my experience in following my father to fight in all directions over the years, before I wrote these thirty-six strategies."
"I came here today in the hope that the military advisor can comment and correct the deficiencies in the strategy." Cao Zhang explained to Guo Jia the reasons he had prepared.
Guo Jia listened to it and praised again and again: "Ziwen Gongzi is naturally smart, in just one year, his insights have been extremely profound, and many places are sighing at himself, where do you dare to comment and correct?" ”
"I believe that Sikong will be very pleased to know that Childe is so diligent and diligent and has such achievements."
Cao Zhang said: "Since the military advisor thinks that this strategy can still be seen, then I will give him this to the military advisor." ”
Guo Jia was pleasantly surprised: "No merit is not accepted, how can you accept such a generous gift from your son in the future?" ”
Cao Zhang took a step forward and said to Guo Jia with a straight face: "The military advisor is my father's right-hand man, and my father is fighting in all directions, and he still needs the military advisor to give advice. ”
"If these thirty-six strategies can really help the military advisor, it will also be of great help to my father."
Guo Jia looked at Cao Zhang, understood his intentions, nodded and said, "Then it will be disrespectful to you." ”
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely tell the truth about my son's masterpiece and filial piety."
Cao Zhang looked at Guo Jia and asked with a smile: "Then I dare to ask, does the military advisor still need to continue to supervise me in the future?" ”
"Where the duty lies, Guo Jia doesn't dare to show favoritism. But those who are pure are self-purifying, and I also know in my heart. Guo Jia responded calmly.
can write such a profound military book as thirty-six strategies, if Cao Zhang really wants to compete for the position of the prince, he must have another trick, and he will not use the relatively clumsy method like before.
He gave away military letters, which was also a disguised way to show his heart.
But Guo Jia, as Cao Cao's military advisor, even if he understood Cao Zhang's intentions, he still had to supervise according to the original plan, which made it seem that the two of them were clean in their hearts.
Cao Zhang and Guo Jia looked at each other, and the two tacitly showed a knowing smile together......
