Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

Chapter 294: Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is a good thing. (Please subscribe)
"lead."

"Xiao Sun, what's going on? What time is it tonight? Give me a call."

"Leader, I have something important to report to you."

"Important thing, what thing?"

"Leader, do you know the program "Hundred Family Surnames" on CCTV 1?"

"I think I've heard of it. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this show?"

"There is no problem, but..."

"But what?"

"In today's episode of Hundred Family Surnames, Teacher Jiang Ning talked about a person named Sun Wu."

"Who is Sun Wu?"

But after Wu Zixu was reused by the King of Wu, he recommended Sun Wu to the King of Wu seven times a day.

Although the actor who played Sun Wu on the stage said that he did not want to become famous or enter the court again.

But whether it is for the family or oneself, all military skills must be practiced on the battlefield.

After the "Hundred Family Surnames" column was broadcast, the relevant departments were informed of this situation.

There is a storm on this side.

The series of military theories he wrote inherited his family's experience on the one hand, and his own understanding on the other.

……

You said brothers who are soldiers can also watch TV?

Wu Zixu knew Sun Wu very well.

"Yes, although the world is safe, it will be in danger if it forgets to fight. Although the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish... This is more than just the art of war, this is the art of war in the art of war."

"Well, brothers, this art of war seems to make sense."

The show "Hundred Family Surnames" is still going on.

otherwise.

When they saw the art of war in Sun Wu's book of war, many people were stunned.

"It makes a lot of sense, it makes so much sense. Just like the first sentence here, soldiers, national affairs... it's simply too classic. I feel it is much better than the military theory we usually learn."

Therefore, Sun Wu agreed to Wu Zixu and met with the King of Wu.

have to say.

But they watched.

"Row."

at the beginning.

Although Sun Wu was born in a family of art of war since he was a child.

"Yes, Teacher Jiang Ning read a few paragraphs in the program. I don't know much about the art of war, but I think it makes sense. How about you let the leader of the corps take a look at what's going on?"

Even if some soldiers don't look, the superiors will let you look.

Being a soldier is not going to jail.

But Sun Wu actually never actually fought a war.

In fact.

When resting, you can naturally watch TV.

"Leader, this Sun Wu is said to have written a very powerful art of war."

But Wu Zixu said: "Brother Changqing, I know that you have no intention of fame, and you don't want to get into the situation of your Sun family in Qi. But, what is the purpose of your military book? Isn't it also to consolidate this Do you want to inherit and carry forward the art of war? However, the book of war is dead, and the art of war is also dead. You have been practicing the art of war for so long, and you don’t want to practice your ideas on the battlefield to truly test whether your art of war is accurate? "

"Xiao Sun, I don't have much research on history. What do you want to say?"

Although the King of Wu recommended Sun Wu to Wu Zixu seven times a day, he valued Sun Wu more.

"art of war?"

Of course it can.

How is this different from talking on paper?
Although the matter on paper will not appear until hundreds of years in the future.

But everyone knows the truth.

"Um...should we report to the company commander?"

Although Sun Wu still refused again and again.

"It's necessary, hurry up."

"Sun Wu was a historical figure during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Many soldiers just watched TV as usual.

Needless to say, this TV is a CCTV 1 TV.

But King Wu also wanted to see how good Sun Wu was.

So King Wu handed over 120 maids, including his two beloved concubines, to Sun Wu's command.

Sun Wu divided the maids into two teams and designated the two concubines that King Wu liked very much as captains and deputy captains.

But the maids did not listen to the orders. They thought this kind of exercise was very fun and laughed for a while.

The two captains even walked aside to rest.

When Sun Wu saw this, he wanted to kill the two concubines according to military law.

After hearing this, King Wu begged Sun Wu for mercy.

Sun Wu then said that since I had been ordered to be a general and the general was in the army, he would not obey the emperor's orders, so he killed the two concubines.

When Wusun beat the drum again and gave the order, all the palace maids moved forward, backward, left and right, knelt, climbed and rolled, all in line with the rules and in a very neat formation.

King Wu lost his concubine and was unhappy.

Sun Wu then saw Helu in person and said: Orders and prohibitions are followed, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. This is the common law of military strategists and the general principle for generals to govern the army. Soldiers must be treated with dignity. Only in this way will they obey orders and defeat the enemy in battle. After hearing Sun Wu's explanation, King Wu's anger dissipated and he worshiped Sun Wu as his general.

After some time.

The King of Wu found Sun Wu and asked him how Wu could achieve the same hegemony as Qi Henggong now that it had a strong army and strong horses.

Sun Wu said.

To achieve the hegemony of Qi Henggong, the first person standing in front of the Wu State was the Chu State.

Only by weakening Chu's power can Wu dominate.

It’s just that Chu State is very powerful.

Whether it's soldiers and horses, national power, or territory, Chu's strength is stronger than Wu's.

Sun Wu then said that if he wanted to defeat Chu, he must continue to develop his own strength and find the right opportunity.

King Wu adopted Sun Wu's strategy and continued to develop his own power internally.

the other side.

Although Sun Wu did not agree with starting a war with Chu immediately.

But he organized an elite army and took turns harassing the Chu State on its border.

If the Chu State sends troops to counterattack, then this elite army will retreat.

Once the Chu soldiers and horses returned, this elite army attacked again.

In order to better harass the Chu State, Sun Wu later divided this elite soldier into three.

In this way, this elite soldier took turns harassing the Chu State on the border for six years.

Although in these 6 years, Wu State did not achieve many results.

However, due to the six years of continuous harassment, the soldiers and horses of the Chu State have been busy dealing with it, consuming a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.

In 507 BC, when Cai and Tang rebelled against Chu, Sun Wu told King Wu that the opportunity had come to formally attack Chu.

the following year.

The King of Wu personally took command, with Sun Wu and Wu Zixu as generals, and his younger brother Fugai as the vanguard, with 3 naval troops from across the country, as well as 3 troops from Cai and Tang, to attack Chu.

It's just that although they are facing the alliance between Wu, Cai, and Tang, Chu is not afraid.

Chu State has a vast territory and a large population, with 20 soldiers and horses.

Facing 6 soldiers and horses, Chu State sent its troops to meet the enemy.

However, Shanshui of Wu State, with the war boat advancing at full speed, quickly reached the hinterland of Chu State.

Faced with this, the Chu troops had to immediately mobilize to defend Kyoto.

at this time.

However, Sun Wu made an unexpected decision. He ordered the Wu army to abandon the boats and attack by land instead.

The King of Wu and Wu Zixu were puzzled and asked, "Wu soldiers are best at water warfare. They should continue to board the ship and disembark."

But Sun Wu said.

As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than speed.

Although Wu's soldiers and horses were good at water warfare, they were marching against the grain at this time and their marching speed was not very fast.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Chu State also know that Wu State is good at water warfare and will definitely strengthen defenses in the surrounding waters, which is not conducive to our attack.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to abandon the ship and take the land route, catching the Chu army by surprise.

have to say.

Sun Wu's tactics were very successful.

Under his tactics, although the Chu State had 20 troops, they were caught off guard by the Wu State.

When the Chu soldiers and horses officially reacted, it was already too late.

It didn't take long for Wu State to attack all the way and occupy Yingdu, the capital of Chu State.

……

"Report, Your Majesty, the capital of Ying, Chu State, has been captured."

"Report, King Chu Zhao led his troops and horses to escape westward."

"Report, Chu soldiers and horses heard that King Chu Zhao was fleeing to the west, and the entire army collapsed."

As battle reports continued to come one after another.

King Wu was overjoyed.

He stood in the palace of Chu State, holding the crown of King Chu, and said with great excitement: "General, do you think the crown of Chu State looks good?" On the other side.

The soldiers of the Wu State did not expect that they would defeat the Chu State, which was arrogant and powerful for hundreds of years, and capture the capital of Ying.

All of a sudden, a group of Wu soldiers were robbing or killing in Yingdu, and they were completely lethargic.

Sun Wu expressed to King Wu that the three armies should be severely punished at this time.

But he was stopped by King Wu.

The reason is simple.

The soldiers fought so hard. Since they won the battle, they should naturally have a good rest and be happy.

But Sun Wu said.

In order for the army to maintain its combat effectiveness, even a day's rest will not suffice.

At the same time, he also advised King Wu not to stay in Yingdu, Chu State for too long.

And explain why.

First.

Although the state of Wu defeated the state of Chu and occupied the capital of Ying.

But the Chu State is still very powerful, and the territory of the Chu State is very large, and it is impossible for the Wu State to control all the territory.

Once Chu finds an opportunity to counterattack, Wu will suffer heavy losses.

second.

This time Wu State's crusade against Chu State also exposed the strength of our Wu State. Given time, other princes will definitely attack our country of Wu in the name of aiding Chu. This is the second danger.

third.

We mobilized 3 troops to attack Chu, leaving the country empty. If someone starts a rebellion at this time, the country of Wu will be in danger.

fourth.

The nearby Yue Kingdom has been fighting against us before. If we don't go back earlier, our victory will soon be occupied by Yue.

Four reasons.

It can be said that Sun Wu's prediction was extremely accurate.

But a pity.

King Wu did not listen to Sun Wu.

But that's not the most important thing.

The King of Wu may not listen to Sun Wu, but Wu still has a series of generals in the court.

With these people around, Wu will be safe.

For example, his best friend Wu Zixu.

Sun Wu admired Wu Zixu very much.

He believes that his strength lies only in the art of war.

But Wu Zixu was not only good at fighting, but also good at governing the country.

As long as there are wise ministers like Wu Zixu, the Kingdom of Wu will not be in too much danger.

But what Sun Wu didn't expect was.

His best friend Wu Zixu also went completely crazy at this moment.

Wu Zixu's father and brothers were killed by King Ping of Chu.

He fled to the state of Wu and vowed to avenge his father and brother.

This was nothing.

But when he and Sun Wu arrived at Chu State, Wu Zixu found that King Chu Ping was dead.

But even so.

Wu Zixu actually dug out the body of King Chu Ping and whipped it.

Facing the already crazy Wu Zixu, Sun Wu understood that even if Wu could defeat Chu for a while, it would probably fail quickly.

……

"Report, the King of Chu mobilized troops and horses to attack us."

"Report, other princes are attacking us in the name of aiding Chu."

"Report, the police will launch a rebellion,"

"Report, the State of Yue has stationed troops on the border of our State of Wu."

As one thing keeps happening.

Each of the four things Sun Wu predicted before came true.

The history behind.

Everyone knows it too.

Although the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu before.

But King Gou Jian of Yue State knew how to be patient and finally avenged the destruction of his country.

As you said.

Where did Sun Wu go at this time?
Where did Wu Zixu go?

If there were two people here, or even just one of them, Wu would not be destroyed.

The key reason lies in this.

After King Wu's victory, he became arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he was the overlord.

But as everyone knows, Wu was just a small country for a long time.

Even if he rises in a short period of time, he has no foundation.

and so.

After Wu defeated Chu, Sun Wu retired to the mountains and forests.

the other side.

Although Wu Zixu is still assisting King Wu.

But when King Helu of Wu died, his son Fucha came to the throne.

Wu Zixu had always suggested killing Gou Jian and destroying Yue in one fell swoop, but Fu Chai refused.

On the other hand, Bo Pi, the minister of the Wu State, was also bribed by the Yue State, and he often warned Fu Chai that Wu Zixu might rebel.

In the end, Fu Chai gave Wu Zixu death.

……

"Brother Changqing, is there any more porridge?"

The story of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu has come to an end.

At this time, Sun Wu already had white hair.

Like himself when he was young, he found a thatched cottage and retired to the mountains and forests.

at this time.

An extremely familiar voice sounded in Sun Wu's ears.

Sun Wu took a look and saw that it was Wu Zixu.

"Yes, there is porridge."

"Here, I want a drink."

Wu Zixu laughed loudly and drank a bowl of porridge in an instant.

Sun Wu also said: "Brother Zixu, your appetite has always been so good, please have another bowl."

Wu Zixu scolded Sun Wu: "Why don't you come again? I'm not a regular."

The two smiled at each other.

Wu Zixu sighed: "Brother Changqing, you are right. If I had listened to you, maybe we could have retired to the mountains and forests together, right?"

This is a conversation between two people.

But everyone knows it.

This may be just a dream of Sun Wu.

Because Wu Zixu had already been sentenced to death, how could he see Sun Wu again.

But even though it's just a dream.

When the two of them had porridge again, just like when they met for the first time when they were young, everyone couldn't help but smile with relief.

After laughing, tears kept pouring out.

"The two became friends because of their love and righteousness, but they ended their friendship because Wu Zixu whipped the corpse. But even so, when Sun Wu wanted to retire to the mountains and the King of Wu was about to kill Sun Wu, Wu Zixu was the first to fight."

"Yes, but it's helpless. Wu Zixu, who was so famous, ended up being condemned to death."

"Sun Wu had predicted it a long time ago. Didn't the Sun family do the same in Qi? Also, didn't Wu Zixu's father and brother do the same?"

"That's what I say, but who can let go of the fame and interests in their hands?"

Countless people kept sighing.

the other side.

"Old man, I'm leaving."

Finished the porridge.

Wu Zixu said to Sun Wu, and then left the thatched cottage.

Sun Wu looked dazed for a while, and tears fell on the white porridge.

immediately.

Sun Wu took out a bamboo scroll.

This is his latest revised art of war.

This volume is for planning an attack:
[In the art of military use, the whole country is the best, and the breaking of the country is second; the whole army is the best, and the breaking of the army is second; the whole brigade is the best, and the breaking of the brigade is second; the whole army is the best, and the breaking of the soldiers is second; the whole army is the best, and the breaking of the army is second. Powu followed. Therefore, to be victorious in every battle is not a good thing; to subjugate an enemy's army without fighting is not a good thing...]
