Chapter 995: Lectures on Martial Arts in the Martial Arts Hall
"Amazing! This is a wonderful battle!"
In the martial arts lecture hall in Pingyang City, Fei Qian took the information he had just obtained and praised it, then handed the battle report to Xun Chen beside him, "Come on, you all should take a look at it too."
In addition to Zhang Liao, Huang Cheng, Xun Chen and Zao Zhi, the participants in the martial arts lecture hall included several other people. Gong Jun and Wei Du were middle- and lower-level officers who sat aside to gain experience.
Xun Zhi, whose courtesy name is Tai Su, is a new recruit. He is a descendant of a side branch of the Xun family who defected to the family and is now working as a secretary under Xun Chen.
There is another person named Zhang Yun, whose courtesy name is Yiyang. He also found Pingyang during this period. He has learned a lot of miscellaneous skills and is also skilled in the art of Qihuang. Now he is also serving as Pingyang's assistant.
Comparatively speaking, Fei Qian's intelligence work is slightly better than that of other princes. After all, it is normal for caravans to come and go now, and to carry some private goods with them.
Normally speaking, this piece of territory owned by Cao Cao is, well, not very good.
Just like Go, the gold corner and the silver border are the grass belly. In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting for the corner, while in the east there are Qingzhou and Xuzhou, in the south is Yuan Shu's territory, in the west is the shabby Henan Yin, Cao Cao's current
Yanzhou is located in the center of this big chessboard.
It was a real place for the Four Wars, but in history, it was abruptly revitalized by Cao Cao.
Two chess players, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, faced each other for the first time on this big chessboard. In this battle, Yuan Shu could lose, but Cao Cao could not afford to lose. If Yuan Shu lost, the worst he could do was to retreat, but Cao Cao had no way to retreat.
, once defeated, it would immediately fall apart and become irremediable. As a result, Cao Cao, who was at a disadvantage, won the battle.
"Get the map!" Fei Qian said to Huang Xu beside him.
The improvement of the map is something that Fei Qian has gradually improved since arriving in Bingzhou.
It is said that the Tuyu thing first came from Xia Yu.
Legend has it that when Xia Yu cast the Jiuding of China, he cast images on the Jiuding to represent strange things in various directions, or patterns representing landscapes, fish and animals, etc., which is considered to be the prototype of the map of China.
Later, maps were widely developed during the Zhou Dynasty, and were widely used not only in military affairs, but also in production and land management. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, especially because of frequent wars, maps were widely used.
Maps have become an indispensable tool, and large-scale water conservancy projects and civil engineering projects at that time promoted the development of the entire map. Even the materials and size ratios of maps have been mentioned and agreed upon in Zhou Bi Suan Jing.
Of course, Tuyu more often represents a kind of power, a kind of control over land and a declaration of sovereignty, just like a key in future generations. Although there are fingerprints or other unlocking modes, many people still like it.
Use the most primitive way to unlock...
Maps of the Han Dynasty already knew how to use unified graphics to represent related things. For example, horizontal mountain lines were used to represent mountains, and halo lines were added to represent the range and direction of the mountains. They also used fish scale-like lines to represent steep cliff terrain.
, not only that, thick lines are used to represent the upper reaches of the river, and thin lines are used downstream to outline the distribution of water areas.
As for the places where people live in villages, counties, towns, etc., they are all written in circles with names inside the circles. If a box is added, it means there is a garrison. If it is a separate box or triangle, it means a garrison in the field.
A fortress or fortress.
Open official roads use solid lines, while small roads and mountain roads use dotted lines.
It can be said that the only problem with the maps of the Han Dynasty is that they do not have a fixed scale...
As for the accuracy of the map, it can only be said that it is limited to the lack of manual depiction and measurement methods in the Han Dynasty, so it cannot be said to be a big flaw.
Of course, this is a very professional map, which is usually only available in the central court. Even the skill of drawing maps is passed down from generation to generation and is kept secret. As for the maps of ordinary towns, counties or low-level villages, that is
Different people have different opinions, and both freehand brushwork and formal writing are included.
Fei Qian benefited from Cai Yong's collection of books, and before the fire in Luoyang, he also obtained some Yuntai documents and albums from Li Ru, so he generally constructed a relatively accurate one.
Map library. Among these maps, there are not only those from the Central Plains of China, but also some maps from the Western Regions or Mobei. However, the true validity of these maps from the edges of the territory and even beyond remains to be verified.
The map near Chen Liu was quickly taken out and spread out on the large rectangular table.
People who look at a map for the first time always feel dazzled. Various shapes and colors are swaying under their eyes, and they don’t know which side to look at. But once you get used to it, you will naturally understand. For example, most of the maps are now
Most villages and counties are actually located along water sources, so if you want to find a county or something, you should first look for the water system.
Fei Qian quickly found Fengqiu and Kuangting.
In fact, these two locations are on the east and west sides of Wuchaoze...
A war is inseparable from water supplies, and the birds and animals growing in the swamps are also a good source of supplies for the army, so it is not surprising that Wuchaoze has become the first choice for many troops.
At this time, everyone in the martial arts hall also circulated the battle report about the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. The battle report was not long, only forty or fifty words, but it was thrilling.
"Yuan entered Chenliu, garrisoned Fengqiu, and sent the general to garrison the partial army at Kuangting. Cao feigned an attack, but Yuan rescued him, and fought. Yuan was defeated and returned to Fengqiu. Cao surrounded him, and Yuan fled to Xiangyi again, and was defeated again.
, go to Jiujiang.”
"The first question," Fei Qian said after seeing that everyone had read the battle report, "is there any problem with General Hou deploying his troops like this? Note, please analyze from the perspective before the war begins, and don't let the results influence you.
Think about it. If all of you here are the rear generals commanding the army at this time, how would you arrange this military position?"
When we talk about martial arts, we must talk about martial arts. Of course, we cannot push forward from the results. If we are purely result-oriented, it is not impossible, but it will also lose the meaning of the martial arts hall. We can just wait for the results, and we still talk about it.
What?
So is there really a problem with Yuan Shu’s layout?
Yuan Shu's main army was stationed in Fengqiu, and then he sent Liu Xiang to garrison Kuangting in a branch, surrounding Wuchaoze, forming a corner of the situation. If he attacks the left, he will be rescued by the right, and if he attacks the right, he will be rescued by the left. He has the advantage of troops and food.
Whether it's a head-on battle or delaying consumption, Yuan Shu can sustain it without any problem.
Zao Zhi stared at the map, looking at Fengqiu and Kuangting on the left and right of Wuchaoze, and then gestured and said: "If I had the advantage in military strength, I would probably choose these two places... If nothing else, Fengqiu
Qiu can cross the Jishui River, and Kuangting can occupy the Pu River. Both places are important places..."
Jishui and Pushui are the two water systems that connect Wuchaoze. Jishui is larger, while Pushui is smaller. Fengqiu and Kuangting are the ferry crossings of these two water systems closest to Wuchaoze.
In terms of tactical layout, there is nothing wrong with Yuan Shu's layout.
"Perhaps this was originally the general's plan to lure the enemy..." Xun Chen stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Fengqiu is already deep into the Chenliu area. If we continue forward, on one side is the Xiahou army stationed in Baima.
, on one side is Cao Jun, and there are also Chen Liu's county soldiers Yu Suanzao..."
Lure the enemy?
There is also this possibility.
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "From a defensive point of view, it is right to station troops in Fengqiu. One is to defend the White Horse soldiers, and the other is to resist Chen Liu's army. Kuangting is the supplement to prevent Cao's army from attacking from the side and cutting off the food road...
… From an offensive point of view, the frontal Fengqiu can resist the combined forces of Cao Jun and Chen Liu, and Kuang Ting’s army can also be used to attack Cao Jun’s flanks... Overall, there is really nothing wrong with it.”
"But..." Huang Cheng scratched his head and said with some confusion, "...but, since there was nothing wrong with it, why did it fail?"
Fei Qian nodded in agreement with Huang Cheng's words, and then looked at Xun Chen. Although he had some answers in his mind, he still wanted to hear what his subordinates thought.
Many people believe that a defeat is a defeat, and there is not much else to say. However, it is precisely because Yuan Shu made no major mistakes at the beginning of the entire campaign that Cao Cao's victory was particularly exciting.
Xun Chen saw Fei Qian's eyes and nodded slightly. He also knew that Fei Qian was giving him a chance to show off, so he stepped forward, pointed on the map with his hand, and said: "With this layout, Yuan Jun will probably
It was planned that Cao Cao's army would first join up with Chen Liu's army of Suizao, and then attack Fengqiu to seek a decisive battle. The garrison in Kuangting could take this opportunity to attack Cao Cao's retreat. On the one hand, it could cut off Cao's army's food and fodder, and on the other hand, it could do both.
Attack from a flank and eliminate Chen Liu and Cao's army in one fell swoop; if in the second scenario, Cao's army does not join forces with Chen Liu's army, but wants to attack Yuan's Kuangting first, then Yuan's army can bypass Wuchaoze and give Cao's army a blow in the back...
…”
"...However, there must be someone in Cao's army who has an insight into Yuan Jun's plan."
Ting's horned army waited until Yuan Jun came to help, and attacked the central army. However, after Yuan Jun was ambushed, he panicked and failed to effectively collect his troops, and was ultimately defeated..."
Zao Zhi nodded and said: "The most important thing is that Yuan Jun was defeated not because of his layout, but because he underestimated the enemy..."
Zhang Liao and Huang Cheng looked solemn.
Xun Zhi and others, who were listening with their ears pricked up, had piercing eyes and wanted to write down everything these people said in a small notebook...
Fei Qian pointed to Kuang Ting on the map and said: "This is the encirclement point for reinforcements..."
Cao Cao's combat strategy is to use the main force to attack Yuan Shu's weak points first, and then attack the main force led by Yuan Shu. This can avoid the passive situation of fighting on both sides; if Yuan Shu leads the main force to come to the rescue, he can only surround Liu Xiang and use the main force to attack.
Attacking Yuan Shu on the march. Sure enough, when Cao Cao attacked Kuangting, Yuan Shu did not think carefully and led the main force to rush for reinforcements, completely falling into Cao Cao's plan.
On the surface, Cao Cao seemed to be attacking Kuangting, but in fact he was luring Yuan Shu's main force out of the fortifications. The large force detoured to ambush the flanks of Yuan Shu's reinforcements, waiting for Yuan Shu's front army to cross the border, and then suddenly launched an attack on Yuan Shu's central army.
Yuan Shu's command center was suddenly attacked, causing Yuan Shu's command system to be paralyzed, unable to organize effective resistance, and the entire army was defeated.
After the Battle of Kuangting, Yuan Shu led the remaining troops to retreat to Fengqiu. Cao Cao then pursued the victory and surrounded Fengqiu. Yuan Shu broke through and fled to Xiangyi. Cao Cao continued the pursuit and poured water over Taishou Pi to flood Xiangyi City. Yuan Shu could not defend, so he
After fleeing to Ningling, he had already entered Yuzhou. Finally, Yuan Shu fled to Jiujiang in Yangzhou and finally got rid of the pursuit. Cao Cao also returned to Yanzhou.
"...Surround the area to call for reinforcements, surround the points...to call for reinforcements..." Xun Chen stroked his beard and nodded, "That's true. The four-character Tao of the Lord demonstrates the true meaning of this battle..."
Who could have known that as early as this period, Cao Cao had developed such a beautiful textbook template for encircling a point and providing reinforcements? The key is that this tactical method is not included in the Thirty-six Strategies...
Fei Qian suddenly thought, well, the Thirty-Six Strategies seems to have not been written yet. Should we do a crash course or something? It is not to train top military generals, but to train middle-level people, such as Qu Chang, Jun Hou and so on.
, as long as you are familiar with the Thirty-six Stratagems, will you have a chance to avoid some of the enemy's strategies to a certain extent?
Well, it seems to be a bit confusing.
"...Junhou, Junhou?" Zao Zhi saw that Fei Qian was suddenly in a trance. He didn't know why, so he called out in a low voice.
Fei Qian came back to his senses, smiled, and said: "Thinking of other things... Encircling a point for reinforcements. Enemies surrounding a town use it as bait to attract reinforcements from enemies in other places. The real purpose is to gather reinforcements.
The enemy can also achieve the goal of annihilating and assisting the enemy, but to achieve this goal, two prerequisites must be met, one is concealment and the other is maneuverability."
"The first thing to hide is to hide your true target, and the second thing is to conceal the troops attacking the reinforcements. The maneuver is very simple. Basically, if you can't enter the ambush location first, there will be some difficulties in attacking the reinforcements..."
"Sun Tzu said, if you don't fully understand the harm of using troops, you cannot fully understand the benefits of using troops. Therefore, mobilizing the enemy is not always a benefit. In the battle planned by both sides, every action we take will mobilize the enemy. This is
Normal phenomenon. A smart general will make the enemy act according to his own arrangements through his own mobilization. However, he mobilized the enemy's troops, but exposed his own weaknesses..."
"There are still many variables in encircling a point for reinforcements. Encircling more than one dozen, or encircling more than one and attacking one more, is fine. At the same time, if the enemy uses this strategy on us, how should we respond? This is today's martial arts hall.
Homework..." Fei Qian looked at everyone, and suddenly the topic changed, "Well, I will leave you with the strategy, please hand it in within three days..."
Fei Qian ignored the depressed expression on Huang Cheng's face and continued: "...Those who are excellent in strategy and theory will go into the army with a certain person. Isn't it bad... Haha..."
When everyone heard the word "move out the army", they couldn't help but feel excited, and then they exchanged glances with each other.
Then Fei Qian pointed to Xun Zhi, Zhang Yun, Gong Jun and Wei Du who were watching, and said: "...Although you do not have the right to lead the army alone now, you can still write it down. If you write it well, you can
Consider giving the opportunity to lead the army independently..."
When everyone heard this, some were happy and some were sad, but they all clasped their fists in agreement.
Well, being a boss is really good, you can assign tasks as you please...
"By the way," Fei Qian said with a smile, "...No plagiarism is allowed, everyone writes their own thing, if there are any similarities, haha..."
"Wei!" This time everyone's expressions were much more serious.
Lectures on martial arts, lectures on martial arts, and lectures in a classroom. On the surface, it seems that it was established to let more people understand military affairs so that they would not be helpless when encountering problems. At this stage, the establishment of this martial arts lecture hall
, no one will object, but these people cannot know that in addition to the superficial role of Feiqian's martial arts hall, it actually has a deeper meaning...
