Every tree is covered with soldiers

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian, the king of Qin, took control of China in the north. In 383 AD, Fu Jian led 9, infantry and cavalry to attack the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan led 8, troops to resist. When Fu Jian learned that the Jin army was short of troops, he wanted to seize the opportunity and attack quickly.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jian's vanguard of 25, troops was surprisingly defeated by the Jin army in Shouchun, with heavy losses. The general was killed and more than 1, soldiers were killed or injured. Qin Jun's spirit fell sharply, his morale wavered, and the soldiers were terrified and fled. At this point, Fu Jian saw the Jin troops in Shouchun City, with high morale, and then looked at Bagong Mountain in the north, only to see every grass and tree on the mountain like Jin soldiers. Fu Jian turned to his younger brother and said, "What a powerful enemy this is! How can we say that the Jin army is insufficient? " He regretted that he had underestimated his enemy.

The bad start cast an ominous shadow on Fu Jian's mind. He arranged his troops on the north bank of Feishui in an attempt to turn the war around by virtue of his geographical advantage. At this moment, Xie Xuan, the general of the Jin army, asked Qin Jun to step back a little and make room for crossing the river. Fu Jian did Sarah laugh that the general of the Jin army didn't understand the common sense of combat, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army was busy crossing the river and it was difficult to fight, so he gave it a surprise attack, so he readily accepted the request of the Jin army.

Who knows, when the military order to retreat was given, Qin Jun was routed like a tidal wave, while the Jin army took advantage of the situation to cross the river in pursuit, killing Qin Jun, losing his helmet and armor, and his bodies were everywhere. Fu Jian fled with an arrow.

Wei besieged Zhao in 353 BC, and Qi sent Tian Ji to lead the army to save Zhao. Tian Ji took advantage of Wei's emptiness and led troops to attack Wei, Wei's army came back to save his country, and Qi's army took advantage of its fatigue and defeated Wei Jun, so Zhao was cleared.

besieged on all sides

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the east and west sides of the gap (in Jia Luhe, now Rong County, Henan Province) as the boundary and not invade each other. Later, Liu Bang listened to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's advice and thought that Xiang Yu should be destroyed while he was weak. Then he joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue and Liu Jia to pursue Xiang Yu's troops heading east for Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province). At this time, there were very few soldiers under Xiang Yu, and there was no food. At night, I heard the troops surrounding him singing folk songs of Chu, and I couldn't help but be very surprised and say, "Has Liu Bang got Chu?" Why are there so many Chu people in his army? " Said, the in the mind has lost the fighting spirit, then get up from the bed and drink in the camp; And sing with his favorite concubine Yu Ji. After singing, I cried, and the people around me were very sad, and they all felt that they could not lift their heads. After a while, Xiang Yu got on the horse, took only 8 cavalry, and broke through from the south to escape. Run away and fight, and commit suicide by the Wujiang River.

Take it by surprise

In 1996, Sun Ce sent a water army to attack Guling on the south bank of Qiantang River, but it failed to attack again and again. Sun Jing, his subordinate, offered him a plan: "Wang Lang's defense in Guling is very strong, so it is not appropriate to attack head-on. There is a road to Chadu, which is dozens of miles away from here, and you can detour around Guling. You give me an army, and I will besiege him from Chad and give him a surprise attack. I am sure to win! "Sun Ce a listen to reason, send troops to him, according to the plan. At the same time, the army was ordered to get hundreds of vats filled with water, giving people the feeling of preparing for a long-term battle. At night, he ordered the army to light more lights to make the enemy think that Sun Ce's main force was still in place. When Sun Jing's troops suddenly appeared in Gaoqiantun near Guling, Wang Lang was surprised and quickly sent Zhou Xin to lead the team to fight. However, Zhou Xin was no match for Sun Ce and soon lost. Zhou Xin died, and soon Guling fell, and Huiji area was occupied by Sun Ce.

It is a kind of strategy to give a quick attack when the other party is unprepared psychologically and materially. Only by maintaining a high degree of vigilance at all times in life can we face sudden accidents.

Plan

After Liu Bang became emperor, he hosted a banquet in the capital city of Luoyang Nangong to entertain civil and military officials. Liu Bang said, "Don't keep secrets from me, but tell the truth. Why can I win the world?"? Why did Xiang Yu lose the world? " There are two leaders immediately replied; "Xiang Yu is contemptuous and insulting, and your majesty is kind and caring for others. Your majesty sent men to attack the city and seize the land, and the captured and conquered places were divided up for everyone's benefit. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was jealous of the virtuous, jealous of the meritorious, and suspicious of the talented. He won the battle without giving credit to others and won the land without giving them benefits. This is why he lost the world. "

Liu bang shook his head and said, "You only know one, but you don't know the other. If I make suggestions in the military account and decide the outcome thousands of miles away, I can't compare with Zhang Liang, guarding the country, appeasing the family name, providing food expenses and ensuring that the grain transportation road is not blocked. I can't compare with Xiao He; I can't compare with Han Xin when I command a million-strong army. These three people are handsome people, but I can use them. This is why I was able to achieve genius. Although Xiang Yu had an important counselor, Fan Zeng, he didn't trust him. This explains why I was defeated. "

A diversion from the East

During the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Bang sent general Han Xin to attack Wei Wangbao, who took refuge in Xiang Yu. Wei Wangbao sent Bai Zhi as a general to station his troops in Puban, on the east bank of the Yellow River, and blocked the ferry. Han Xin found that Puban was easy to defend but difficult to attack. On the surface, he pretended to force troops to cross the river, and secretly crossed the river from xia yang to Anyi, destroying most of Wei Wangbao's troops.

Surprise

In 1996, Sun Ce sent a water army to attack Guling, on the south bank of Qiantang River, but it failed to attack again and again. Sun Jing, his subordinate, offered him a plan: "Wang Lang's defense in Guling is very strong, so it is not appropriate to attack head-on. There is a road to Chadu, which is dozens of miles away from here, and you can detour around Guling. You give me an army, and I will besiege him from Chad and give him a surprise attack.

However, Zhou Xin was no match for Sun Ce and soon lost. Zhou Xin died, and soon Guling fell, and Huiji area was occupied by Sun Ce.

Kill yourself to become a human being

It appeared in The Analects of Confucius and Wei Linggong in the pre-Qin Dynasty: "People with lofty ideals are benevolent, but they do not survive to harm humanity, but kill themselves to become a human being."

once, a disciple of Confucius asked Confucius for advice and said, "Sir, what you said about benevolence and loyalty is excellent. It is indeed a virtue that everyone loves each other and treats others with righteousness. I really want benevolence, but living in the world is also my desire. If there is a conflict between benevolence and life, what should be done? " Confucius replied seriously, "What is there to hesitate about?"? All true people with lofty ideals and benevolence will not damage benevolence and righteousness because of fear of death. They should disregard their own lives in order to fulfill benevolence and virtue. " Disciples respectfully salute Confucius to show their respect. At this time, Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, asked Mr. Wang again, "Kindness must be hard to get, right? How should we cultivate it? " Confucius replied: "The cultivation of benevolence can start from scratch. For example, if a craftsman wants to do his work well, he must first have handy tools. For a country, we should choose the sage among those doctors to worship him; For yourself, you should choose the benevolent among those scholars to make friends. In this way, benevolence will be cultivated. " The Analects of Confucius Wei Linggong

Allusion:

In 383 AD, Fu Jian, the former emperor of Qin Dynasty, organized 9, troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty sent Xie Shi as the general, Xie Xuan as the pioneer, and led 8, soldiers to fight.

Fu Jian thinks that he has enough strength to defeat the Jin army. He assembled his troops at the water's edge in the east of Shouyang (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province), and waited for the follow-up troops to arrive before attacking the Jin army.

In order to defeat more with less, Xie Xuan made a plan and sent an envoy to Qinying, suggesting to Qin Jun's striker: "Obviously, your army camped at the water's edge for a long-term battle, not a quick victory. Wouldn't it be better if your army retreated a little and let our army go through the decisive battle at the water? " Qin Jun internal discussion, all the generals believe that stick to at the water, jin can't cross the river. When the follow-up army arrives, the Jin army can be completely defeated. Therefore, we can't accept Jin's suggestion.

However, Fu Jian was eager to win, and disagreed with the opinions of the generals. He said, "As long as our army retreats a little, when half of the Jin army is crossing the river and the other half is still crossing it, we will definitely win a total victory with elite cavalry!"

So Qin Jun decided to back off. Fu Jian didn't expect that Qin Jun was pieced together temporarily, and the command was not unified. As soon as he received the order to retreat, he thought that he had lost the battle ahead and hurriedly fled back. Xie Xuan saw that the enemy had retreated, and commanded his men to cross the river quickly to kill the enemy. On the way to the rout, Qin Jun abandoned his weapons and armor, which was a mess, and countless people died of trampling on themselves. Those soldiers who narrowly escaped the pursuit of the Jin army heard the whistling wind and the chirping of cranes all the way, thinking that the Jin army was coming again, so they fled desperately regardless of day and night. In this way, the Jin army won a great victory in the "Battle of Feishui".
