Chapter 1905 Lecture in the martial arts hall, win if you are not defeated
When Fei Qian watched Liu Bei leave, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
When Fei Qian was young, he first read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and liked Liu Bei. He felt that Liu Bei was surrounded by good brothers. However, when he read the Three Kingdoms again later, he felt that Cao Cao was better. After all, people and people cannot compete with the right people. But now, Fei Qian is more
Be willing to consider some issues from a relatively more objective perspective, rather than relying solely on preference.
There is no doubt that when Mr. Luo wrote about Liu Bei, Mr. Luo put a lot of emotion into it. In his writing, Liu Bei is a glorious and beautiful image, and he is also the best representative of the protagonist in Mr. Luo's heart. After all,
Zhang Shicheng, to Mr. Luo, is like a man who cannot be helped.
But putting aside the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and just looking at historical records, Liu Bei is indeed not very lucky. His family is poor, he has no famous ancestral brothers, and even his biological father is gone. He sells shoes and weaves bed sheets with his mother at home.
Living. This was a very bad thing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In other words, Liu Bei's starting point was very low.
If you come from a bad background, and then go to study, you will not learn very well. "You don't like reading very much, like dogs and horses, music, and beautiful clothes." If you come to the later generations, you will be a bad guy, but your grades will not be very good.
A somewhat vain student.
According to the records in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, it is called "The First Lord Has Many Defeats". In this way, while constantly working for others and changing jobs, Liu Bei unknowingly passed his thirties and forties. During the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei's four
Seventeen.
When you are young, before you enter the society, you tend to have a relatively high premium for your talents and value, and have too little awareness of the cruelty of society. It is like asking about your salary expectations before graduation, and you can tell me eight
I feel like I have lost a lot of money, and then when I actually get to the company...
Smooth sailing is always a blessing. The reality is that most people need to struggle in the long and tortuous bottleneck to find the bright exit, just like the birth of life.
Why many people like the Three Kingdoms is because they can always find themselves among the Three Kingdoms.
And Liu Bei is a hero of the common people. He is a hero who relies on his own struggle, keeps falling in the mud pit, keeps getting up, and finally stands on a high position.
For the sake of such a hero who represented ordinary people to a certain extent, and to give ordinary people more hope of being able to succeed, Fei Qian was unwilling to just kill Liu Bei, even if he did so, there would be risks.
Because Fei lurked in Liu Bei and saw himself.
Fei Qian is also an ordinary person in future generations. He has no family background to rely on, and all his efforts come from himself. He is not even as good as Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei has brothers. Fei Qian does not even have brothers, but he does have fair-weather friends. Normally
Hehehaha seems to be closer than anyone else, but in fact, if something happens, you can't count on it.
The first company Fei Qian worked for was a private enterprise. When he joined the company, he met his self-made boss and listened to his impassioned speech. He suddenly felt that he could be like the boss and achieve something successful. However, as time went by
As time went by, Fei Qian discovered that in fact, the upper management of the private company were all relatives of the boss...
Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if these relatives were as capable as the founder and CEO of the company, but here's the problem. If someone spends three days fishing and two days surfing the internet, if something goes wrong he can't find anyone, there are
Who would like it if it bothers subordinates to memorize it, but instead of rewarding advancement in the company, they stare at the upper-level leaders who deduct money and fine them every day?
And the key is, these people don't think this is a problem.
Later, Fei Qian went to another company, which was probably a semi-business type. Although there was not a large group of relatives of the CEO, after all, the company was bigger, there were more "cronies" and "factions" from other provinces.
Those from the province, newcomers, and old people are even more complicated and complicated, even more cumbersome than the current gentry system in Jingzhou. Although handling affairs depends on ability, it also depends on faction and relationship. Sometimes faction and relationship are even more important than ability.
.
Back then, Fei Qian struggled to survive in the cracks of different factions, just like Liu Bei is struggling in the cracks of different princes today.
Therefore, giving Liu Bei a little more hope will fulfill some of my expectations back then.
Of course, these are also limited.
Just like a favor, as you use it, it will become thinner.
Liu Bei is already very thin now, at least much thinner than when Fei Qian first arrived in the Han Dynasty.
Fei Qian was thinking as he took Huang Xu and Xu Chu out of the general's mansion and turned into the martial arts hall.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Tai Shi Ci had already gone to their respective garrison theaters in advance. In the martial arts lecture hall, there were some middle and upper-level captains, such as Zhang Xiu, Gan Feng, Li Dian and others. After today's martial arts lecture, these people
They will basically be dispersed to various places and then wait for the next collection.
"The Cavalry General has arrived!"
The guard standing under the hall shouted loudly, and immediately all the military schools in the hall stood up.
"present!"
Fei Qian nodded slightly, walked through the crowd with his head held high, and when he sat down at the top, he waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, please sit down."
"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone replied in unison, and then sat down one after another.
Fei Qian looked around, and then asked Huang Xu to hang the first brocade picture he brought in the hall, "Today's teaching is "strange"!"
The surprise force does not mean a simple ambush, or climbing over the mountains and forests, penetrating behind the enemy's rear, etc., but leaving a means during the confrontation, concentrating a small number of elite cavalry or infantry, and directly attacking the opponent's main formation from a suitable angle, or
It is to tear apart the opponent's two-wing formation, create a gap, directly threaten the opponent's coach, and kill him, or it is to cause psychological pressure on the enemy's coach and cause panic, causing the opponent's command to malfunction, and then the army moves forward to cover up the kill, ensuring victory.
That is to say, "Catch the thief first and capture the king first."
This is a fighting mode that is more suitable for Fei Qian's subordinates, and has become a fighting method adopted by many generals. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shi Ci, and now even Xu Huang also use this method.
This shows that this set of tactics has become relatively mature and has become a fighting method that is very suitable for Fei Qian soldiers.
Why is it said to be more suitable for use by Fei Qian’s subordinates?
The first aspect is that the soldiers under Fei Qian's command are stronger than ordinary county soldiers, or the ordinary soldiers of other princes. On the other hand, most of Fei Qian's soldiers are also
People from the Liang Dynasty and those who lived on the border of the Han Dynasty were very accustomed to this method of warfare after long-term confrontation with the Hu people.
"Use oddities and rely on them!" Fei Qian pointed to the schematic diagram of the battle formation on the brocade map, "Only by using the right combination can you achieve a surprise victory! Look at this picture, the general of the Zhenjun army in Runan used two thousand cavalry to defeat seven times the enemy.
Enemies, more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans..."
Thanks to the cultural education and martial arts system implemented by Feiqian's army, basically after every battle, an archive similar to a battle map will be formed to record the battle situation at that time.
What Xu Huang used was a typical cavalry pull and an impact tactic after a flaw appeared in the opponent's formation. This was an application that could be called "odd".
"Before breaking the formation, you need to check carefully! After breaking the formation, you need to choose carefully!" Fei Qian pointed and said, "The general of the town army raided the front with five hundred cavalry, firstly to involve the enemy troops, and secondly, to check the enemy's formation...
Whenever there are traps, overturns, pits, rejections, and stabbings, the enemy's troops will circle around on the road, and they will not advance, they will not retreat, their troops will be scattered but their flags will not fall, etc., there must be some differences, and you cannot rush forward...
』
"After breaking the formation, you can drive it, chase it away, penetrate it, or scatter it," Fei Qian continued. "It should be determined based on the enemy's shape. Don't be greedy for the moment, which will ruin the matter. The general of the town army broke the left wing of the Yellow Turban, because
After a long drive, the horses were also tired, and the morale of the Yellow Turbans was down, and they had no intention of resisting, so they drove slowly, firstly to save their horse power, and secondly, to avoid the chaotic formation, and when the enemy was exhausted, they could make a decisive move..."
"As a general, you must know the sun, the moon, and the stars," Fei Qian looked around, "You can't stick to one method, and you can't follow the rules. Only by understanding it and using both yin and yang can you know..."
For Gan Feng, Zhang Xiu and others, this fighting method is already an ability integrated in their blood. After all, they have basically done this in the process of fighting against the barbarians for so many years, but there is no such thing as
It's just that Fei Qian was able to summarize it and form a more refined theory.
But for Li Dian, this is simply a whole new world...
At this moment, Li Dian finally understood why the princes of Shandong were always at a disadvantage when confronting Fei Qian. Not to mention other aspects, just with this kind of tactics, even if Cao Cao came, he would still be able to do it.
I find it very tricky.
After all, Li Dian was captured twice and it was not in a normal confrontation. But now when Li Dian rehearsed the situation, he found that even if he faced it head-on, it would be difficult to resist the elite assault of Fei Qian's men.
Possible to behead him, he suddenly felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck, cold sweat was pouring down his face, and he couldn't help but secretly screamed luck.
Fei Qian looked around and paused to give everyone some time to think.
In fact, this kind of tactics was used best by Liu Bei among the Three Kingdoms in history, but it was a pity that he was led astray by Brother Zhu in the later period... Well, in fact, you can't blame Brother Zhu. After all, among Sichuan and Shu, there is no such thing as
There is no new source of Northland generals...
In this way, in fact, Brother Zhu's choice of Jiang Wei in the later period was also an attempt to copy Liu Bei's tactics? After all, only Jiang Wei was a serious Northland native, while Wei Yan, who was rebellious at the back of his head, was an outlier from Nanyang.
The battle of Dingjun Mountain in Huang Zhonghan was regarded as the last stand of this elite warfare method in the north. "The people in the Yuan Dynasty are very elite, and the loyal ones will advance forward. They persuade and lead the soldiers, the golden drums shake the sky, and the cheers shake the valley."
Fighting against Yuan, the Yuan army was defeated..."
There is no so-called plot in the novel, and there are no false gimmicks. The actual battle process is rough and direct. Xiahou Yuan's soldiers are also elite, so Huang Zhong brought an even more elite soldier to boost morale and directly attack Xiahou Yuan's main formation.
He also used the golden drum to strengthen the connection between the soldiers, and at the same time overwhelmed his opponent in terms of momentum, and finally killed Xiahou Yuan and won a great victory.
This battle mode also has limitations, because such a battle requires an elite force with strong combat effectiveness. If such a "surprise" unit has limited combat effectiveness, then using it to attack the enemy's main formation is undoubtedly self-defeating.
perish.
The quality of Fei Qian's soldiers is better than that of other princes in terms of equipment and training, so at this stage, you don't need to worry too much about this issue.
But that doesn’t mean that this strategy has no other weaknesses at all…
Historically, when Cao Cao faced Ma Chao, he gathered the generals for a military meeting, and some suggested that "Kuanxi has strong troops and spears, so if you don't select a forward, you can't be a forward." However, Cao Cao said, "The battle belongs to me, not to the thieves."
.Although the thief is accustomed to using a spear, he will not be able to stab him, but you, the king, are just watching..."
It can be seen that at that time, everyone in Cao Cao understood and valued this northern attack strategy. The generals felt that if there was to be a confrontation, an elite vanguard force must be formed to attack. Based on Cao Cao's previous experience in fighting Lu Bu and Liu Bei,
He chose another method, "Don't fight if the wall is strong". To put it simply, it means not facing the anus because it can't be done.
This is the second weakness of Beidi's tactics.
Fei Qian asked Huang Xu to change to the second brocade picture.
Xu County map.
At that time, Fei Qian and Cao Cao's army were far away from each other and did not really fight. However, afterwards Fei Qian still had people draw such a battle map based on the situation at the time.
"We have about 8,000 elite cavalry. The enemy has about 30,000 infantry, more than a thousand cavalry, 2,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and one city. All in all, it is probably five times the enemy..." Fei Qian is about
He recounted the formations of both the enemy and us, and then said, "If we fight, what should we do? Each of us will decide on a strategy, and we will hand it over in an hour!"
From a certain perspective, if the opponent has formed a relatively stable formation and has a large number of halberds, spears, and shields, then it is not an advantage to use cavalry to attack the opponent's line.
For example, it was also a mountain battle. He could win at Dingjun Mountain, but suffered a complete defeat at Yiling. Lu Xun's northern assault tactics against Liu Bei simply took advantage of the complicated terrain in the Three Gorges area and could not hold on.
Limited by the terrain in the Three Gorges area, and perhaps due to the replacement of Liu Bei's own soldiers and the weakness of his elite follow-up, Liu Bei was ultimately unable to break through Lu Xun's defense, let alone lead an elite force to successfully attack the opponent's main formation, and ultimately reached a stalemate.
, the last glory was burned away by a fire.
For Liu Bei, his most profound problem was not his military defeat, but that he did not know what to do after victory, nor how to make good use of victory. It was like lamenting the tyranny under Mount Tai.
Like Confucius.
In history, even when facing an opponent like Cao Cao, Liu Bei was able to achieve partial victory by relying on his familiar fighting methods, but what happened after the victory often left him at a loss.
For the Shandong gentry and the Han Dynasty, the northern men represented by Liu Bei had the image of a country bumpkin after all, a warrior and "robust". They were not welcomed and could not be fully integrated.
In the end, Liu Bei was able to achieve a great career with his indomitable spirit and the spirit of repeated defeats and defeats, traveling up and down the river, north and south, taking Jingzhou and occupying Sichuan and Shu. In the final analysis, it was not because of any new breakthroughs in tactics in the north, but because of Brother Zhu.
In Longzhong, he pointed out to Liu Bei what should be done behind the battle, evolved from tactics to strategy, fixed the leaky board, and transformed the tactical victory of local assault into a three-legged world pattern...
As for Liu Bei now, that board is still leaking.
And no one can make up for it.
Brother Zhu should still be in Jingxiang now...
For an hour, which could be said to be long or short, everyone in the hall finally handed over their strategies one after another.
Fei Qian briefly read through the strategies submitted by everyone, smiled slightly, and then said: "Commanders Zhang and Li, please come forward!"
Naturally, Fei Qian could not say that he came to the martial arts hall just because he was idle. He naturally had his own considerations when he came to the martial arts hall. After all, he had Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others under his command, as well as the Xiliang cavalry. To a certain extent,
Shang Feiqian is almost the inheritor and promoter of Beidi's tactics.
This is a good thing, but it can also easily form an inertia, causing his generals to blindly use this tactic, and there is no guarantee when they will encounter the "Battle of Yiling". Therefore, Fei Qian must compare this kind of tactics
The weaknesses of large-scale tactics are once again emphasized...
Because at this stage, if the elite quality under Fei Qian's command is ranked second, no one dares to be ranked first. Therefore, as long as we play steadily and steadily, we can at least remain undefeated in the confrontation with a high probability. On the contrary,
If you blindly rely on military bravery and rush forward greedily for merit, you will most likely be like Zhang Liao. Even if you win in the end, you will lose your troops and generals.
Zhang Xiu and Li Dian looked at each other and stepped forward.
Fei Qian motioned for the two of them to stand on both sides of the hanging battle map, with Zhang Xiu representing Fei Qian's side and Li Dian representing Cao Cao's side, and they began to "talk about war on paper."
When talking about military affairs on paper, the most taboo thing is to disregard the facts or be divorced from reality. However, the people present are basically middle- and upper-level military officers who have rich practical combat experience and have commanded soldiers. Therefore, whether the formation of troops is reasonable or not, everyone has some opinions.
Steelyard.
Li Dian turned his head slightly and glanced at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian smiled and nodded.
Li Dian felt reassured and began to confront Zhang Xiu. To be honest, when Li Dian was writing the strategy for this simulated war, he was still a little uneasy because he felt that if Fei Qian and Cao Cao were in Xu County at that time,
If they really fight, Fei Qian may not have much upper hand...
At first, Li Dian was worried that writing this way would make Fei Qian unhappy, but after thinking and hesitating, he wrote it down according to his original idea, and also specifically noted why there was such a result...
Soon, Li Dian and Zhang Xiu came to the most important point of disagreement. Zhang Xiu believed that after the cavalry pull and the armored cavalry raid on Cao Cao's formation, Cao Cao's formation would collapse and disperse, and then it would be determined.
Victory.
Li Dian believed that Cao Cao's main formation would not collapse, at least not so quickly. Then the surrounding Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers would quickly pounce on them and form an encirclement. The one who would be defeated then would most likely be Fei, who was trapped in Cao's army.
Submarine…
The two couldn't argue, and the decision-making power returned to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian first praised the two men for their arrangement of troops and horses, and then asked: "If a certain formation is attacked, will you two come to the rescue?"
Zhang Xiu and Li Dian naturally patted their chests to express their attitude. Fei Qian nodded slightly, then looked at the other people in the hall and said, "If Zhang and Li are like this, let alone brothers and relatives? Let alone Cao Sikong."
How deceitful, you must be on guard. Captain Zhang’s surprise attack on this formation may not be playing into his plans!”
Then Fei Qian briefly talked about what measures he should take if he really wanted to fight. Simply put, he used the high mobility of the cavalry to attack like a knife cutting flesh. Cao Cao's only corresponding strategy was to shrink the array and compress the defense.
range, otherwise any protruding parts will be cut off...
Once Cao's army shrinks, Fei Qian gains more initiative on the battlefield. He can choose to invade the rear or wander outside. However, one thing is the same, that is, it is impossible to win quickly, and it is very likely to enter a tug-of-war.
The tug-of-war is not the outcome Fei Qian wants.
Of course, Fei Qian's final choice to discuss with Cao Cao also had political considerations, and naturally there was no need to explain these to these military academies. In the end, Fei Qian concluded: "The way to be a general is, before going into battle, you should first think about being undefeated and the rear.
Seek victory! Don’t seek victory in all battles, but seek an undefeated army! Today’s lecture, after-class lectures will be summarized and distributed for all students to read...』
To put it simply, don’t waste it!
In history, there have been too many people who succeeded in making waves in the early stage and then ended up being wild to death. Fei Qian really doesn’t want to end up becoming a negative teaching material...
