Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
He is the originator of the business circles, and in his book "Shang Jing", he put forward such famous economic ideas as "persuading agriculture and mulberry to accumulate grain", "concurrently operating at the end of agriculture", "completing things without interest", "leveling and doing things, there is no shortage of closed markets, and the way to govern the country", which played a positive guiding significance for China's economic construction in the past dynasties. In particular, it has influenced generation after generation of businessmen in Wudi, China, and adhered to the pragmatic and innovative, profit-seeking and integrity-oriented way of doing business to help the world. He was revered as the "Shang Sheng" by later generations. However, a famous economist like him was listed as one of the 72 generals of Wumiao by the Tang and Song emperors, and ranked thirteenthGive me a thumbs up, and we'll move on.
His name is Fan Li, a famous economist and military strategist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was included in the 72 generals of Wumiao, the main reason for which was that he assisted Goujian, the king of Yue, to destroy the state of Wu and dominate the Central Plains;Combined with military practice, he created the military theory work "Fan Li's Art of War". In 482 BC, the Yue Shi attacked the state of Wu and beheaded the crown prince of the state of Wu;In 475 B.C., Fan Li adopted the strategy of besieging but not attacking, and overcoming rigidity with softness, so that Wu Shi collapsed;In 473 B.C., the Yue destroyed Wu, and Wu Wangfu committed suicide;In 468 BC, King Yue dominated the Central Plains. Fan Li retreated bravely, boated on the five lakes, and created a business economy.
The country of Yue, where Fan Li is located, is a typical small country and a weak country;The opponent Wu State is a vast area, a large number of generals, there are famous generals Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, Bo Yao, Wang Sunxiong, etc., perennial to maintain more than 100,000 elite troops of land divisions and naval divisions, and has been fighting with Chu, Qi and other neighboring countries for many years, and has rich combat experience, which is a typical big country and power. However, the final result was that the weak Yue State put the powerful Wu State to death without even having a chance to turn over, creating a famous example of defeating the big with the small and the strong with the weak, and reaching the highest level of military struggle -- "complete victory." It can be seen from this that Fan Li's military thinking is so outstanding.
So, what are Fan Li's military thoughts?As a weak and small Yue State, in order to defeat the powerful Wu State, it must do the following eight things: First, it advocates waiting for attack by defending, second, it is based on protracted defense, third, it attaches importance to war preparations, fourth, it improves the quality of its army, fifth, it conceals its strategic intentions, sixth, it takes the initiative to disintegrate the enemy, seventh, it is good at capturing fighters, and eighth, it pursues perfect results. In the great practice of reviving Yue and destroying Wu, Fan Li produced the strategic defense idea of a late strike, which had a profound impact on later generations. These views of his have been cited by later generations of military writers, and his practice of defeating the strong with the weak has inspired and achieved generations of famous generals, and to this day, it still has important military reference value.
