Interpretation of "encircling Wei to save Zhao": It is better to fight again than to find ways to disperse concentrated enemies. In the face of a strong enemy, it is better to attack from the side. Sun Tzu's Art of War also said: Managing soldiers is like managing water, the sharp one avoids its front, and the weak fills its void. It means to fight the enemy, just like to control water. If the enemy has a strong momentum, it is necessary to avoid the impact, such as diverting water. For the weak enemy, we should seize the opportunity to destroy it, just like building dams and cofferdams to prevent the water from flowing away. Sun Tzu's metaphor is very vivid. If you want to straighten out the messy silk and knots, you can only untie them slowly with your fingers, and you can't make a fist. Resolving disputes can only be persuaded by words, not by hands. When dealing with the enemy, we should avoid the reality and attack the key points, so that the enemy will be frustrated and contained, and the siege can be solved on its own.
It is better to divide the enemy than to share it, and the enemy is better than the enemy. It is better to divide the enemy than to share it: common and concentrated. Break up, break up, break up. To attack a concentrated enemy, it is better to try to disperse and then fight. ② Enemy yang is worse than enemy yin: enemy, verb and attack. It is better to strike the enemy with low momentum first than to strike the enemy with low momentum first. Encircling Wei to save Zhao-Encircling Wei to save Zhao
Originally refers to the method of the Qi army besieging Wei during the Warring States Period, which forced Wei to withdraw the attacking troops and saved Zhao. The latter refers to the tactics of attacking the enemy's stronghold behind the enemy's back and forcing the attacking enemy to retreat. Managing soldiers is like managing water: sharp people avoid their front, such as guiding them; The weak plug their emptiness, such as building a weir. Therefore, the State of Qi saved Zhao, and Sun Tzu said that Tian Ji said, "Those who solve chaos and strife don't control boxing, those who save fights, criticize and play tricks, and if the situation forbids, they will solve their own problems." Fighting against the enemy is like controlling water: if the enemy has a strong momentum, it is necessary to avoid shocks, such as diverting water. For the weak enemy, seize the opportunity to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
Destroying it is like building dikes and cofferdams to stop the loss of water. Therefore, when Qi rescued Zhao, Sun Tzu said to Tian Ji: "If you want to straighten out the tangled rope, you can only untie it slowly with your fingers, and you can't make a fist." Resolving disputes can only be persuaded by words, not by hands. For the enemy, we should avoid the reality and attack the key points, so that the enemy will be frustrated and contained, and the siege can be solved by itself. " Li Xiucheng besieged Wei to save Zhao.
The story of Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the Biography of Wu Qi is about the battle of Guiling between Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period. In 354 BC, Wei Huiwang wanted to get rid of his old hatred of Zhongshan, so he sent general Pang Juan to attack. This Zhongshan was originally a small country in the northern part of Wei in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was conquered by Wei. Later, Zhao took advantage of Wei's national mourning and seized Zhongshan. Juan thinks that Zhongshan is just a small place, close to Zhao. If you don't fight directly to Handan, the capital of Zhao, you will kill the old enemy and kill two birds with one stone. From then on, Wang Wei took Pang Juan as the general and took Handan, the capital of Zhao and Wei. Zhao Wang had to ask Qi for help in an emergency and promised to give it to Zhongshan after the rescue. Qi Weiwang agreed to appoint Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist to lead the troops. This classmate Sun Bin and Pang Juan are very familiar with the method of fighting. Wang Wei hired him with a large sum of money. At that time, Pang Juan was also working for Wei. Pang Juan's conscious ability is not as good as Sun Bin's, and he is afraid of being better than himself. So he poisoned Sun Bin, broke his grandson's foot and tattooed his face in an attempt to make him unable to walk and ashamed to meet people. Later, Sun Bin pretended to be crazy, but thanks to the help of Qi's messengers, he fled to Qi. This is an old story about Pang Juan and Sun Bin. When Tian Ji and Sun Bin led the troops into the Wei-Zhao border, Tian Ji tried to push Zhao Handan, but Sun Bin stopped him, saying, "You can't make a fist in a fight, you can't settle it, and you can't take part in it. To solve disputes, you should grasp the key points and use the imaginary potential, so the two sides can naturally be separated by constraints. Now the elite of Wei has left this country, if I attack Wei directly. Pang Juan will return to Li to save him, and the siege of Handan will solve itself. If we ambush Pang Juan in the middle of the road again, his army will be defeated. Tian Ji followed the plan. " Sure enough, Wei Jun left Handan, was ambushed on his way back, and fought Qi in Guiling. Wei Bing traveled long distances, exhausted, and fled everywhere. Pang Juan reluctantly cleaned up the mess and returned to the girder. The division of the Qi army won a great victory, and Zhao Zhiwei was thus solved. This is the famous story of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" in history. Thirteen years later, Qi Weijun crossed the battlefield again, and Pang was ambushed by Sun Bin, knowing that he was in poor spirits and was defeated. Sun Bin became famous in this name and spread his art of war. This allusion refers to the tactics of bypassing the enemy's rear to force them to withdraw. In 354 BC, the Wei army surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao. The two sides fought for more than a year, and Zhao was weak and Wei was tired. At this time, Qi responded to Zhao's call for help, and sent Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist, leading 80,000 troops to save Zhao. Where is the attack direction? At first, Tian Ji prepared to go straight to Handan. Sun Bin believes that to untie the tangled silk thread, you can't pull hard with your hands, and you can't directly participate in fighting with others. To send troops to clear up, we should avoid reality and get to the point. He suggested to Tian Ji that the elite troops of Wei are now concentrated in Zhao, which is empty inside. If we lead the troops into the capital girder of Wei, occupy its traffic arteries, attack its empty space, and March into the capital girder of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan), Zhao's Li will be spared to save himself, while the Qi army will take advantage of its fatigue to meet the returning enemy in Guiling, a pre-selected combat area. Wei Jun was defeated, and Zhao Zhiwei was solved. Sun Bin's method of encircling Wei to save Zhao is a famous war example in the history of our country, and it is listed as one of the 36 strategies by later military strategists. Examples of the battle to rescue Zhao from Wei
Encircling Wei to save Zhao-Kong Ming saved Jiangdong with a piece of paper.
This ingenious story can be found in Chapter 58 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "Ma Mengqi made a move and hated Cao Aman for cutting his beard and abandoning his robe". After learning of Zhou Yu's death, Cao Cao prepared to attack Jiangdong again. However, he was worried that Ma Teng, the general in Xiliang Town, would seize the opportunity to attack the empty capital of Xu. To this end, Cao Cao sent a special envoy to Liangzhou to levy the title of General Nan on Marten in the name of the imperial court, and ordered him to lead an army to crusade against Sun Quan. So, Marten came to Xuchang City with his second son Matthew, Ma Tie and five thousand soldiers. Soon, Xiliang soldiers were wiped out by Cao Cao, and Marten and his son were also killed. Since then, Cao Cao thought that he had relieved his worries and immediately took up 300 thousand troops and rushed to Jiangdong. When Jiangdong heard the news, he immediately asked Lu Su to send messengers to Jingzhou in the west to ask Liu Bei for help. Zhuge Liang read Jiangdong's distress letter and confidently said to Liu Bei, "Jiangnan and Jingzhou don't need to fight." I have my own clever plan to stop Cao Cao from entering the southeast. " He ordered a message back to Jiangdong, saying, "If Cao commits a crime, he will have his own plan to retreat." Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei: "What Cao Cao was most worried about in his life was the soldiers in Xiliang. Now that Cao Cao has killed Marten, Ma Chao, Marten's eldest son, is still leading the crowd in Xiliang. Cao Cao's revenge for killing his father will definitely make Ma Chao gnash his teeth. Master just needs to write a letter, send someone to help Ma Chao, and let Ma Chao recruit soldiers to enter the customs. In this way, Cao Jin invaded Jiangdong? " Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately wrote a letter and sent an envoy to Xiliang to see Ma Chao off. When Ma Chao heard the news that his father and two younger brothers were killed, he burst into tears and fell to the ground. He gnashed his teeth and berated cao thief. Just then, Liu Bei's messenger came with a book. When Ma Chao opened the book, Liu Bei not only cursed Cao Cao in his letter, but also recalled the past and old feelings when he and Marten were sent to cao thief by secret edict of the Han Dynasty. It is pointed out that Cao Cao and Ma Chao have forged a great hatred in different worlds and different sun and moon. He suggested that Ma Chao lead Xiliang's army to attack Cao's right wing, and he contained Cao before unifying Jing Xiang. It is believed that this move can not only capture Cao Cao alive, wipe out traitors and avenge great hatred, but also revive the Han Dynasty. Ma Chao immediately replied with tears, sent messengers back first, and then lit the west cool military forces. Is preparing to leave, west cool satrap Han Sui please d meet. It turns out that Han Sui and Marten are sworn brothers, and Han Sui and Ma Chao are commensurate with an uncle. Han Sui told Ma Chao: Cao Cao sent a messenger with Hou Liang as bait to let Han Sui catch Ma Chao. Han Sui also said to Ma Chao: As an uncle, I can't bear to do harm, and I am willing to join hands with Ma Chao to attack Cao Cao and avenge myself. Han Sui killed Cao Cao's emissary, recruited eight military forces under him, and made himself and Ma Chao share 10, with an army of 200,000, so he went to Chang 'an in a mighty way. After Cao Cao got the alarm from Guanzhong, he gave up the plan of attacking Sun Quan in the south and concentrated on dealing with Ma Chao and Han Sui's army in Guanzhong. A letter from Zhuge Liang easily prevented Cao Jun from going south and saved Sun Quan's life.
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rescues Tianjing
In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the strength of the revolutionary army was greatly weakened due to the intensification of infighting. In A.D. 1860, the Qing Dynasty sent He Shen and led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Tianjing (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Qing army was surrounded by many troops, making Tianjin an isolated city. In order to save Tianjing, the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan called all the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but for such a sinister situation, everyone could not think of any good way at the moment. At this time, Li Xiu, the young general of Zhongjun, became Hong Xiuquan and presented a plan. He said: "Now the Qing army has a large number of troops, and recklessness will only be fierce. Please ask the heavenly king to give me twenty thousand troops to break through at night and attack the enemy grain depot in Hangzhou. In this way, the enemy will definitely split up to save the country. Then Tianwang took this opportunity to break through, and I also returned to Tianjing, forming a double attack, and the siege of Tianjing could be solved. " Wing Wang Shi Dakai reacted quickly, saying that he also brought a team to cooperate with Zhongjun. Quan Wang's generals all think that this is a plan to "encircle Wei and save Zhao". There are two princes leading the elite troops to break through, and the victory is certain. However, Hong Xiuquan likes to be suspicious by nature and thinks that Tianjing is surrounded and the situation is sinister. He doubted whether the two kings wanted to escape, so he hesitated and said nothing. Li Xiucheng guessed Hong Xiuquan's thoughts and immediately fell to his knees and burst into tears, saying, "Heavenly King, the kingdom of heaven is at stake. If we have a second thought. Is it worthy of the king of heaven and the soldiers of the whole army? " Shi Dakai also knelt before the king and begged Hong Xiuquan to send his troops. Hong Xiuquan was deeply moved and finally agreed to act as planned. On the second day of the first month of this year, during the Chinese New Year, the Qing army surrounded Tianjing with the advantage of numbers, and relaxed slightly. In the middle of the night, Li Xiucheng and Shi Dakai each led a team and broke out from the weak southeast corner of the enemy blockade in the dark. Qingjiang and Chun saw small troops fleeing, so there would be no pursuit. After the breakout of the second king of Li Xiucheng, who besieged Wei to save Zhao, the soldiers were divided into two ways: Li Xiucheng ran Hangzhou and Shi Dakai ran Huzhou. When Li Xiucheng arrived at the gate of Hangzhou, he saw that the defenders were heavily guarded. He urged the soldiers to attack the city, but they were all repelled. It turns out that Hangzhou is an important grain and grass base of the Qing army, and there are more than 10 thousand defenders in the city. They only stick to the city and don't go out to counterattack. Li Xiucheng was anxious when he saw that Kangzhou had been captured for three days and three nights. Suddenly it rained heavily, and the defenders in the city were very tired when they saw that the Taiping army could not attack for a long time. It rained again, so they all hid in the castle to have a rest. Because I didn't sleep well for several days and nights, I fell asleep on the ground. On a rainy night, Li Xiucheng sent more than 1000 warriors to secretly climb the city wall with ladders. Guarding city soldiers woke up, the gate was wide open, and Li Xiucheng entered the city and attacked Hangzhou. In order to attract the Qing army to besiege Tianjing, Li Xiucheng ordered the granary of the Qing army to be burned. When he heard the news, he knew that Hangzhou was lost and the logistics supply was cut off. Urgent to lieutenant Zhang Yuliang led hundreds of soldiers to save Hangzhou. Hong Xiuquan saw that the Qing army had divided troops to save Hangzhou and the enemy was mobilizing, so he ordered an all-out attack. Li Xiucheng captured Kangzhou, set fire to the granary and rushed back to Tianjing. Shi Dakai also returned to Tianjin. The two armies met in one place, tactfully and circuitously, avoiding Zhang Yuliang's efforts to rescue the Kangzhou army and finally returning to Tianjing smoothly. At this time, the Taiping rebels attacked the Qing army inside and outside the city. The Qing army took it by surprise, and the war situation was in chaos, killing more than 60 thousand people and crushing defeat. The Qing army suffered a fiasco, and the siege of Tianjing has been solved. In a short time, the Qing army has been unable to fight Tianjing again.

Virgin besieged British Airways until 1984, and countless new airlines failed in their attempts to challenge British Airways in Britain. British Airways has a near-monopoly position, which makes its competitors hopeless. Therefore, when Virgin Group opened the Virgin Atlantic route, many industry experts expressed doubts. Virgin faces many unfavorable factors. It lacks funds, ability, political influence and experience, and it cannot control the reservation system. Its failure seems inevitable. However, Virgin put an unprecedented piece on the chessboard. Virgin incorporated its brand into the game and introduced a powerful new ally. Virgin subverted British Airways and laid a series of victories. Given its size and reputation, British Airways can cope with almost all its direct competitors. However, Virgin is incredible: it is a famous brand in the music industry. British Airways is facing not only Virgin Atlantic, but also Virgin Records. Every time Virgin Records sells a record, it helps Virgin Airlines win passengers. What makes British Airways scratch its head even more is Virgin's expansion into the broadcasting, television and hotel industries. Being attacked from different directions, British Airways can't exclude Virgin Atlantic from the industry as easily as it does emerging airlines. Within five years, Virgin Atlantic made a profit of 6.5438+million pounds. Five years later, its route expanded to Asia and Australia. Virgin understands that protecting an industry from running out of resources is usually a win-win situation. The strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" has become more practical, as RichardBranson, the founder of Virgin Group, observed: they have a mutually beneficial relationship, and they protect each other. When Virgin Airlines opens a route to South Africa, we can launch Virgin Radio and Virgin Cola there. Similarly, we will apply the experience of airline booking to make the sale of train tickets easier and cheaper. We can transplant the entertainment provided to passengers on the plane to the train. We let the audience try Virgin Cola in the cinema. We use a large number of entertainment stocks in Virgin Megastore, so that consumers can enjoy more fun in Virgin Cinema.

In 2 19 BC, the Carthaginians had a country in the Middle East called Carthage, which was also an ancient civilization. The military commander of Carthage is Hannibal. This man can be said to be a very famous strategist in history. He led Wan Yu's army to browse the Alps and once again reached the Apennine Plain. It can be said that the city was destroyed, the code was invincible, and the Roman army fled. At this time, there was a commander-in-chief in Rome named Fabian. He already knew Hannibal's power, so he advocated retreating all the way, clearing the field along the way, burning houses, burning food and destroying wells, so that Hannibal's army could not get supplies, drink water, eat food and escape all the way. Fabian was once laughed at by the Romans, but later people gradually discovered it. With the extension of the supply line and his lack of suitable supplies and supplies, under this clear situation, he gradually began to be anxious, and this time? Fabian thinks it's time. He decided to attack an allied city that was vital to Hannibal's army Kaplan. This city is the only place where Hannibal can get supplies and supplies now. When Fabian led the Roman army to attack Kaplan, Hannibal was a little anxious and went back to the army to save, but he found that it might not be cheap for his army to fight the Roman army in this place. Finally, he thought of a way. This method is very similar to that of Sun Bin. His method was to return to Lee and turn all his troops against Rome. It's a bit like encircling Wei to save Zhao. When he led his troops to Rome and besieged Rome, Fabian's generals were in a hurry to go to the hospital. Because these people are all Romans, their whole family will be destroyed, and their families will be destroyed, so they all demand Fabian to immediately start his army and turn around to save Rome. Fabian went on to tell everyone that our Rome is still so fragile that even if Hannibal attacks, it will not be captured for a while. Now Kaplan's surname is Dong, and when he went to save Rome, he was trapped by Hannibal. He probably killed us all halfway while we were still exercising, so he didn't advocate saving Li. A few days later, Hannibal has been waiting for good news at the edge of Rome. What good news are you waiting for? It depends on when Fabian withdrew his troops, retreated to Rome, and turned around in the middle, but the news that Kaplan had fallen was an example of failure to rescue Zhao from Wei. Because commanders like Fabian saw through Hannibal's strategy, Hannibal, an excellent victory general, was finally wiped out in the last world war, and finally had the glory and myth of continuing victory. This tactic, which avoids reality and makes it empty, has been appreciated by military strategists in past dynasties and still has its vitality.
