In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty will attack the State of Chen on a large scale. In 557 AD, Chen Baxian proclaimed himself emperor, established the State of Chen, and made its capital in Jiankang, which is today's Nanjing.

Before the war, He Ruobi, a general of the Sui Dynasty, was ordered to be in charge of river defense and often organized garrison troops along the river to adjust their defense. Every time the troops moved, they were ordered to concentrate in Liyang (today's Anhui Province and the county area). It is also ordered that when the three armed forces are concentrated, they must fly flags everywhere, set up police accounts and publicize their momentum to confuse Chen Guo.

If it is really difficult for Chen to tell the difference between reality and reality, at first he thought that the army was coming and prepared all the soldiers and horses in the country to meet the enemy. Soon, it was discovered that the garrison was deployed rather than attacked, and Chen withdrew the assembled troops.

Therefore, for three transgressions of five times, the Sui army was frequently deployed, but the clues were not exposed at all. Chen Guo is also common, and his guards are lax. It was not until Sui Jun crossed the river from the river wall that Chen Cai noticed. Like a mountain soldier, he was caught off guard and captured Chen's south Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

2, wai Wei to save Zhao

In 354 BC, Zhao attacked Wei, forcing Wei to yield to it. Wei originally belonged to Wei, but now he belongs to Zhao. Wei Huiwang was not very angry, so he decided to send Pang Juan to attack Zhao.

In less than a year, Pang Juan attacked Handan, the capital of Zhao. Handan is in danger. Zhao Chenghou, the monarch of the State of Zhao, tried his best to stick to it, and at the same time sent someone to ask Qi for help (at this time, Zhao was allied with Qi).

Qi Weiwang appointed Tian Ji as general, Sun Bin as strategist, and led the army to save Zhao. Sun Bin made Qi Cheng and Gaotang, the least skillful soldiers in the army, pretend to attack Xiangling, an important place of Wei, to paralyze Wei Jun. Sun Bin led the troops around and went straight into the girder. Pang Juan received orders from Wei Huiwang and had to go back to China for rescue.

Wei Jun is a tired teacher. How can he defeat the elite teachers of Qi? So I was defeated.

3. Waiting and working.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu killed Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was furious and personally led 700,000 troops to attack Wu. The Shu army advanced from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches, and its command was overwhelming. The soldiers were transferred to the east, winning more than ten battles in a row, and the spirit was in full swing until the Yiling and Xiaoting areas went deep into the hinterland of Wu.

Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun, a young general, as viceroy and led 50,000 people to the war. Lu Xun understood the art of war and correctly analyzed the situation. He thought that Liu Bei was full of momentum and commanding, so it was difficult for Wu Jun to attack. So I decided to quit the real strategy and watch it change.

Wu Jun completely withdrew from the mountainous area, so it was difficult for the Shu army to expand in the mountainous area of five or six hundred miles. On the contrary, it is in a passive position, unable to fight and its soldiers are exhausted. After six months of stalemate, the morale of the Shu army was scattered.

When Lu Xun saw that the front of Shu army stretched for hundreds of miles, it was difficult to take care of the whole story. He camped in the mountains and made a military taboo. When the time was ripe, Lu Xun ordered a comprehensive counterattack, and the Shu army was caught off guard. Lu Xun set fire to the 700-mile company camp of the Shu army, which was in chaos and suffered heavy casualties and hurriedly retreated. Lu Xun created a famous war example in the history of war, that is, winning more with less and attacking the enemy from the rear.

4. Transfer from East to West

Wei Wangbao was established by Xiang Yu after the demise of the Qin Dynasty, with Pingyang as its capital (now the Golden Temple in the southwest of Linfen City, Shanxi Province) and jurisdiction over Hedong County. Liu Bang crossed the Yellow River in Linjin (now southeast of Chaoyi Town, Dali County, Shaanxi Province) and expanded eastward. Wei complied with the general trend, surrendered to Hanwang without a fight, and marched eastward with Hanwang for Xiang Yu.

Later, Hanwang's crusade failed. Wei Wangbao left Hanwang on the pretext that his relatives were ill and wanted to go back to visit him. After returning to Wei, he immediately closed the ferry on the east bank of the Yellow River, cut off contact with Han and returned to the overlord of Chu. It is very important for Liu Bang to see the area controlled by Wei Wangbao. Advancing from Wei to the west can threaten Guanzhong, and cutting off the provision route of the Han army to the south can form a double attack with the Chu army.

In order to remove this threat, Liu Bangxian sent Li to persuade Wei to submit to Hanwang, and promised to seal 10,000 cities, but Wei flatly refused. Seeing that persuasion failed, Liu Bang prepared to send troops to Wang Bao of Wei State, so he asked Shi Li about the general of Wei State. Liu Bang asked, "Who is General Wei?" Li Shiqi replied, "It's white."

Liu Bang said, "A boy who is wet behind the ears. How can you resist Han Xin! " Ask again: "Who is the cavalry general?" Answer: "Feng Jing." Liu Bang said, "He is the son of General Feng of Qin. Although he is very virtuous, he can't resist breastfeeding the baby. " Ask again: "Who is the infantry general?" Answer: "it." Liu Bang said, "We can't resist Cao Can. I have nothing to worry about! "

So, Han Xin was appointed Prime Minister Zuo, and attacked Wei together with Guan Ying and Cao Can.

Before the invasion, Han Xin also asked Li Zicheng to know about the generals of Wei. It is said that Wei did not use Zhou Shu with combat experience as a general, but used white matter without combat experience, which shows that he has a plan in mind.

He analyzed that Wei must rely on the natural barrier of the Yellow River, guard the main ferry of the Yellow River, adopt the strategy of persistence and fight for a long time. So, judging the situation, he made a strategy of quick victory in a tit-for-tat manner, and decided to use surprise attack tactics to break Wei Jun's defense. In August of the second year of Emperor Gaozu (205 BC), Han Xin led an army to set out from Guanzhong and reach the bank of the Yellow River.

When Wei heard the news, he mobilized heavy troops to Puban and blocked the Yellow River ferry near Jinguan. Han Xin came to Linjinguan and sent someone to scout. On the other side are all Wei Bing, but there are not many Wei Bing in xia yang. So I decided to cross the river in xia yang. You need a wooden boat to cross the river, but the wooden boat is only 100, which is not enough. Han Xin sent someone to chop wood and buy bottles with small mouths and big bellies.

Guan Ying and Cao Can asked Han Xin to explain his intention to buy poppies. Han Xin said, "Seal dozens of bottles with small mouths and big bellies, arrange them in a rectangle, with their mouths down and their bottoms up, tie them together with ropes, and then clamp them with wood. It is called' raft', which can carry more people than ordinary rafts. "

Guan Ying and Cao Can were so impressed that they were busy logging and buying bottles. In a few days, everything is ready.

On this day, Han Xin ordered Guan Ying to lead10,000 troops and more than 65,438,000 ships to line up at Linjinguan on the other side of the Yellow River and pretend to cross the river. Wei, with a heavy army, is eyeing up and preparing for battle. Unexpectedly, Cao Can, a Korean believer, secretly led the army to transport the wood merchants to xia yang overnight.

Wei Wangbao waited for a few days. I didn't see him on the other side of Linjinguan, thinking that the Han army was afraid to cross the river for a while. At this time, the defenders of Anyi reported that Han Xin had captured Anyi and was coming to Pingyang.

Wang Wei was shocked: There has never been a boat in the upper reaches of xia yang. Did the Han army fly across the river? Hastily led the troops to stop it, but after the success of the Han army crossing the river with the wooden merchants in Anyi, the morale was even stronger and the road was overwhelming. Where can Wei Jun resist? Wei wanted to retreat to Linjin Pass, and Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to cross the river and seize the pass, taking Pingyang directly.

Wei was caught between Scylla and Charybdis and had to dismount and surrender. Han Xin soon pacified the land of Wei.

Wei was frightened when he heard the news and rushed to save Li. However, the morale of the army is chaotic, and it is difficult to meet the impact of the Han army. The whole army was forced to retreat eastward after being hit hard. Han Xin led the Han army to pursue the 56-point attack. In September, the Han army captured Wei Wangbao in Dongyuan, and Han Xin entered Pingyang, the capital of Wei without bloodshed. Subsequently, Han Xin suited himself to pacify the 52nd county of Hedong, and set up Hedong county to the east of the Yellow River.

After Han Xin's clogs led the army across the river to defeat Wei Wangbao, the threat of Wei to Guanzhong and the area south of the Yellow River was eliminated, and the first victory of the Han army in opening up the northern battlefield was achieved, which played a very important role in relieving the pressure of Liu Bang's main force fighting in the Central Plains battlefield. At the same time, it also created a famous war example in China's ancient war history, which was a diversion from the East to the West and a surprise victory.

5, impeded

At that time, the Liu Xiu brothers became famous in Kunyang World War I and were envied and excluded by other generals. In the later battle, Ada, Liu Xiu's brother, was Gao Zhen's master, which aroused Liu Xuan's suspicion. Ada didn't listen to Liu Xiu's advice, but he still went his own way. At the instigation of Li Tie and others, Liu Xuan killed Ada.

When Liu Xiu heard the bad news, it was like an arrow piercing the heart. She was very sad. But he endured his grief and won the trust of Liu Xuan. Take advantage of the opportunity to caress the north, accumulate strength, reign as emperor, and March into Chang 'an. At this point, Li Tie was ordered to stop Liu Xiu.

Feng Yi, the general around Liu Xiu, came to surrender to Li Tie. Li Tie knew that Liu Xuan was no match for Liu Xiu, and he was worried that Liu Xiu would hold a grudge for killing his brother. After careful consideration, he wrote a letter to Feng Yi, in which he made a condition that he must ensure his safety and wealth after surrendering.

Sure enough, when Feng Yi attacked Luoyang, Li Tie did not move. So Feng Yi wrote to tell Liu Xiu this situation. Liu Xiu knows Li Tie's character, and he can't get it, but he is not good at rejecting him, so as not to cause Li Tie's resistance. After much deliberation, he came up with a plan to kill someone by using the knife.

Liu Xiu deliberately published Feng Yi's letter, so that everyone knew that Li Tie was going to submit to him. For a time, all the soldiers were talking about it.

Soon, people in Liu Xuan heard the news and knew that Li Tie was going to submit to Liu Xiu. Liu Xuan was furious when he learned that, and immediately sent someone to put Li Tie to death. Luoyang's army lost its commander-in-chief, leaderless, full of ambition and defeated without a fight. Many scholars came to submit to Liu Xiu. By this time, everyone really understood Liu Xiu's intention.

Extended data

"Thirty-six Strategies" is a summary of China's ancient military strategists' strategies, and it is a valuable legacy of military science. In order to make it easier for people to remember these thirty-six strategies, a scholar took a word from each of the thirty-six strategies and wrote a poem in turn: Tan Gongji today to catch thieves; Fish and snakes laugh at the sea; Sheep and tigers are separated by peaches and mulberry; Trees are dark and stupid; The pot is empty and bitter; There is a beautiful corpse on the roof; William was cut.

In addition to "Talking about Gongce", every word in the whole poem contains one of 36 strategies, as follows:

Golden cicada can attract jade, kill people with a knife, wait for the work, catch the thief and capture the king, and take advantage of the fire.

Close the door to catch thieves, fish in troubled waters, startle the snake, hide the sky from the sea, plot against each other, hide the knife inside,

Stealing happiness, attracting tigers away from the mountains, rewarding peaches and plums, pointing fingers at mulberry trees, watching the fire from the other side, and flowering on trees,

Sneaking around, being the best you can be, pretending to be crazy and playing dumb, playing hard to get, trying to make a plan,

Bitter schemes, making friends far away and attacking near, opposing customers first, taking ladders on the house, stealing beams and replacing columns, making nothing out of nothing,

The honey trap, rebirthing, introducing the east to the west, encircling Wei to save Zhao, a series of tricks and false means to cut the enemy.
