If you have heard that a person eats people, then you will definitely guess that this person is definitely not a good person, how can a normal person eat people to achieve the purpose of being full, today we will talk about Zhang Xun. If there was no Anshi Rebellion, then Zhang Xun was an ordinary small county commander, and he was a Zhenyuan county commander at that time, and his official position was not high. We have used the phrase "the time is the present" when it is most appropriate to reflect it in him, and the more critical the situation, the more we can see the quality of a person's will.
Wherever An Lushan's army went, many people surrendered, and these were some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was not ruled out that they would surrender first for the time being, and then return to the right path when the time was ripe. In this world, there are some things that cannot be done, and some things must be done, and Zhang Xun is the latter. Zhang Xun keenly judged that Yongqiu was a key point, and if this city was held, the Tang Dynasty would have room to turn around, because Yongqiu was the throat of the Grand Canal. Yongqiu is here, the supply from the south is constantly transported to the north, and the Tang court can also fight to the death with An Lushan, if this place is occupied by An Lushan, then the Tang court has almost no room to turn back. Because the north was already in chaos at that time, it was impossible to provide grain, grass and money for the Tang court's army.
We can see that Zhang Xun can still grasp the key points and has a very high strategic vision. Zhang Xun is not a military general, but he learned some military knowledge when he was studying, and he did not engage in related positions later, so his military literacy is basically not much. We say that practice brings true knowledge, and many people can grow, that is, let them learn Xi in practice. In the early leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, there were army commanders in their 20s because they grew up in war after war. At that time, Zhang Xun only had 2,000 regiments to train the army, to put it bluntly, some troops with no actual combat experience, how could these troops resist the 40,000 troops led by Ling Huchao. However, it was under such circumstances that the miracle happened quietly.
First of all, Linghu Chao sent 6 people, they were Zhang Xun's original colleagues and friends, and they were all attached to An Lushan. They all wore purple robes and gold belts that can only be worn by more than three grades, which shows that they have received the dividend of surrender and have sold their personality in exchange for glory and wealth. The reason why we humans are different from beasts is because people insist on a more noble moral code in the pursuit of profit and avoiding disadvantage, mercenary and self-respecting, and once even the most basic moral code is abandoned, then this person is not much different from beasts. Zhang Xun hung the portrait of the Son of Heaven in the hall and led his subordinates to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven. "Minister Zhang Xun visited the emperor", which made tears appear in everyone's eyes. "Although Chang'an is broken, but Yongqiu is not broken, the minister Zhang Xun will swear to guard Yongqiu." After expressing his loyalty and attitude, he pushed all 6 people out and beheaded them, and this time the crowd was excited, and people rushed to tell each other. Zhang Xun led everyone to defend Yongqiu City with the courage of a scholar, even if Datang has his last breath left, I will die on the battlefield for her.
Seeing that the persuasion failed, Ling Fox Chao began to command the army to attack the city, and the battle was extremely tragic, and both sides paid a tragic price, with countless casualties. Even in this case, Zhang Xun still led the soldiers and civilians of the whole city to defend the city. Later, the arrows were gone, and the combat effectiveness decreased a lot. Zhang Xun thought about it, how could he get the arrow?After careful consideration, Zhang Xun asked the soldiers to tie a lot of straw men, and at night they used ropes to put the straw men under the city, and the soldiers on the other side could not see clearly, so they shot arrows frantically, and after a while, the straw men were full of arrows. So Zhang Xun ordered the straw man to pull the straw man up the city wall and obtained countless arrows. After a few times, the other party understood that it was a straw man, so he didn't let go of the arrow, but just watched from a distance. So one night, Zhang Xun ordered 500 soldiers to pretend to be straw men and put them under the city, and the soldiers on the other side thought they were straw men. At this time, Zhang Xun gave an order, and rushed to the enemy position at full speed with lightning speed. In a hurry, the enemy army was unprepared and was killed. After half a year of fierce fighting, the defenders in the city have grown up very quickly after the baptism of war, and they are no longer the original rabble, but have become qualified soldiers. When the time was finally ripe, Zhang Xun led his soldiers to rush out of the city gate and started a decisive battle with the enemy, and after this battle, the enemy army was completely killed. A small county commander managed to lead some regiments to train troops to withstand the attack of 40,000 enemies, creating a miracle. 
Later, when Luo Guanzhong wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he drew on Zhang Xun's classic practical experience of borrowing arrows from straw men, and there was a story of Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows from grass boats. From this, I also think of a sentence from Mr. Jiubian, if you want to write something, you have to have something relevant in your head, and if your head is empty, then you will not write good works. Just like a cross talk actor, you can make 100 paragraphs, and you can say one paragraph on stage, so it's okay. But if you don't know a single one, then you can't perform a single one on stage. Writing is a process of slow accumulation, and only by writing down can you reach the state of being like a god. When you reach that state, it is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and if the quantity is not enough, you are still several orders of magnitude behind, and you will not be able to reach that state.
