The so-called conspiracy is a strategy relative to the conspiracy, and its cleverness lies in the fact that even if someone sees a trap ahead, they have to jump into it themselves.In the history of our country, there are these major conspiracies that are almost unsolvable, and the protracted war is even more emotional to the world, so what is so special about them?
Siege Wei to save Zhao
In 354 BC, 100,000 soldiers of Wei besieged the capital of Zhao into iron buckets, and the king of Zhao had nothing to do and hurriedly asked his next-door neighbor for help.
At that time, King Qi was a little dilemma in the face of his plea for help, but in the end, he mustered up his courage and resolutely sent Tian Ji and others to support.
After Tian Ji took office, he immediately showed the demeanor of a general, and planned to fight hard with the Wei army to relieve the crisis of Zhao.
At this time, Sun Bin saw a little difference. He studied the terrain of the battlefield and felt that while the Wei State was besieging Handan, the garrison of the national capital Daliang might be relatively weak.
So, he came up with a bold plan, which was to take the opportunity to attack the capital of Wei and thus force the Wei army to turn around.
Tian Ji felt that this plan was safe, so he acted according to Sun Bin's proposal, and the King of Wei was really deceived, and urgently dispatched Pang Juan to return to the army to rescue Daliang.
Even if Pang Juan knew that this was the other party's deception, as soon as he saw that Daliang might be attacked, he realized that the problem was serious, so he had to hurriedly return to the army to protect the overall situation.However, Pang Juan's way back to his teacher was not so easy, because Sun Bin specially gave him a big gift. Sun Bin took advantage of the fatigue and sleepiness of the Wei army to suddenly attack, and as a result, Pang Juan suffered a big loss at once, and the 50,000 elites under his command were almost swept away.
Sun Bin's strategic vision in this battle can be called a must, and everyone later called this plan "encircling Wei to save Zhao", which was known as the first of the thirty-six strategies, which was simply the pinnacle of wisdom!
The reason why Sun Bin was able to achieve this great cause is extremely crucial:
First, Sun Bin is well aware of the weakness of the Wei ** team, and the defense of so many troops outside the local area will inevitably be inferior to peacetime.
Second, Sun Bin understands Pang Juan's character. Pang Juan was harsh and majestic, focused on honor, and was loyal to the King of Wei. He will never put the safety of the capital at risk.
Third, Sun Bin was familiar with the terrain of Wei. He had already determined the only way for Pang Juan to return to the army, and laid an ambush in advance.
Fourth, Sun Bin is good at improvising. After King Wei was scheming, Pang Juan returned to the division unexpectedly quickly. However, Sun Bin still took advantage of the exhaustion of the Wei army, set up an ambush, and successfully annihilated the Wei army by taking advantage of the favorable location and people.Therefore, the victory of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" can be said to be due to the perfect cooperation of the right time, place and people. It has left a valuable lesson for future generations - by correctly analyzing the situation, grasping the weaknesses of the enemy's army, and making good use of strategy, we can defeat the strong with the weak and achieve great things.
The two peaches are not strange, and the three soldiers kill themselves
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was in the limelight, and the monarch Qi Jinggong had three great generals, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi, all of whom were extraordinary in strength and were capable generals of Qi Jinggong.
But you know what, it's easy to get carried away with power? These three fierce generals were no exception, becoming more and more arrogant, and even offended Qi Xiangguo Yan Ying. Yan Ying felt that these three generals were too much and would pose a threat to Qi Jinggong's rule.
So, Yan Ying simply made a cunning strategy, planning to use the personality loopholes of these three fierce generals to bring them down. He told Qi Jinggong that if he wanted to hold a competition, whoever did the best would give him a golden peach.
At the beginning, both Gongsun and Gongsun got a golden peach, but poor Gu Yezi returned empty-handed. At this moment, he was furious, and he drew his sword to kill two guys who got peaches. Gongsun Jiehetian Kaijiang was also ashamed when he heard it, and without saying a word, he directly took the peach and killed himself.
In this way, Yan Ying skillfully used a golden peach competition to solve the problem of the three fierce generals, which can be regarded as a wonderful Spring and Autumn copyright plot!
Seeing this, Gu Yezi was ashamed of the two brothers, and then ended his life. In this way, Yan Ying only used two peaches and got rid of the three.
Yan Ying knew these three fierce generals well, because he figured out the character flaws of these guys. Gongsun took over this general, what he cared about most was face, and he wanted to give him some faceTian Kaijiang is the kind of introverted but strong type, and it is not good if he doesn't come out;As for Gu Yezi, he is a little overconfident, typical of pride and arrogance.
So Yan Ying grasped the weakness of these three generals and held a golden peach competition, asking them to find trouble for themselves. The result can be imagined, Gongsun Jiehetian Kaijiang killed himself for a peach!
Although they are a bit flawed, they are also loyal and good generals. Gongsun has done some heroic deeds, such as personally killing the tiger and saving Qi Jinggong;Tian Kaijiang is even more brave and fearless, and he dares to fight Dajiao alone, and he also fights!
Gu Yezi is also a fierce general, with great achievements, but unfortunately he was finally collapsed by Yan Ying's conspiracy. This historical story can also be regarded as a conspiracy drama, full of twists and turns and helplessness of human nature.
If they are not talented, how can they win the favor and trust of Jing Gong?If you are not faithful, how can you be willing to sacrifice your life for the country?Yan Ying only saw the three of them and ignored their strengths, which eventually led to unimaginable results.
I have to say that the three soldiers killed themselves, although they couldn't extricate themselves under Yan Ying's calculations. But on the other hand, it also shows their character of valuing honor and affection.
They would rather die than defend their honor. Be loyal to your friends, and would rather give up your life than express your guilt.
It's a pity that Yan Ying only cares about her own cleverness and doesn't understand the truth of treating talents well. Otherwise, although this peach is small, it can crack the heart of the three scholars and make the country of Qi peaceful and peaceful.
If the Duke of Qi Jing can treat the three of them well, gain the loyalty of the three, and use the power of the three to unify the princes, will the Qi State be able to achieve hegemony and rewrite history?Such a situation may be the best negative teaching material for Yan Ying's conspiracy.
Tui En Order: The Game of Kingship and Human Nature
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he felt that the vassal kings in various places were too excessive, and the power was too huge, so he engaged in a policy of "pushing grace orders".
The rules of the Tui En Decree were not simple, stipulating that the feudal king could no longer engage in the tradition of passing the throne only to the eldest son, and that the property should be divided among all the sons. This is to break the rules of primogeniture, doesn't it seem to be very benevolent?But in reality, that's where the trap begins.
For the feudal lords, this was a dilemma. If you do this, your own power will have to be dispersed and weakened, but if you don't pay attention to it, you can be labeled as a rebel. This is a typical Akari is benevolent government, but in fact, it is a cunning trick to outwit the upper and lower.
The vassal kings knew that this edict was actually a pit, and once they were hit, their own power would have to slowly decline.
However, if you openly oppose this decree of the imperial court, it is tantamount to turning against the emperor and will immediately be accused of rebellion. Knowing that it was harmful, but having to jump down, this was undoubtedly a serious problem for the feudal kings at that time.
However, most of the rest of their sons welcomed the move, as it gave them the opportunity to obtain a fief as well. As a result, there is a division within the feudal family, and ** can take the opportunity to strengthen control.This shows Emperor Wu of Han's superb political skill and insight into human nature, and he took advantage of the contradictions and selfishness of the aristocratic class to make it difficult to resist the Tui'en Order. Faced with this elaborate test of humanity, the vassal king had no choice but to give in, even if he knew that he was being calculated.
The most critical reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to boldly implement such a policy at that time was that the strength of the first side was very strong.
Therefore, even if the vassal kings are unwilling, they do not have enough strength to compete with ***.
Under the background of such a strong national power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to put forward the Tui'en Order, because he knew that even if the vassal kings were dissatisfied, it would be difficult to resist. If any vassal king dared to openly resist the Tui'en Order, Emperor Wu of Han had every strength to use force to eliminate it.In this game between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the vassal kings, Tui Enling became the decisive chess piece. It took advantage of the human weaknesses of the aristocratic class and eventually helped Emperor Wu of Han complete the harvest of royal power. This game of human nature around the Tui En Decree has become a classic case of the use of power in Chinese history.
"On Protracted War": Stand by the side of truth
In 1938, shortly after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the situation at that time was extremely difficult and severe for China, and the Japanese army won successive victories and occupied important cities and transportation arteries in eastern China.
It was in this critical autumn of survival that Comrade ** devoted himself to writing the book "On Protracted War".
At that time, the Japanese soldiers and horses were majestic, well-equipped, and well-organized, and at first glance they seemed to be unstoppable. But Comrade *** penetrated into the interior and saw the essence of the Japanese.
Don't look at the Japanese devils are strong and strong, in fact, there are many contradictions inside, social contradictions and economic problems are piled up, at that time, many people felt that the Japanese devils were menacing, and the prospects for the War of Resistance were not good."On Protracted War" dispelled everyone's despair, boosted the morale of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and was simply a "reassurance" of the War of Resistance against Japan.
This article first analyzes the essence of Japanese militarism from the viewpoint of dialectical materialismIt pointed out that Japanese imperialism was built on the basis of plundering and oppressing the people abroad, and that there were huge social contradictions in itself.
Its strong military strength can hardly hide the weakness of its economic base. In contrast, China has a unified goal of justice and a large pool of human resources, which, if used correctly, will surely win.
On Protracted War" made a precise statement on the progress of the war, and Comrade pointed out that this war will go through three stages: strategic defense, strategic stalemate, and strategic defense, and will eventually end with China's victory.
This firm historicist attitude greatly encouraged the confidence of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and later fully verified the scientific foresight of Marxism.
The most unique feature of this book is that it adopts the method of "openly publishing the score", which is not only published in China, but also translated into many languages and sent abroad, so that everyone, including the Japanese side, can clearly understand the combat policy of the Chinese Communist Party.
This was an extremely bold and extraordinary move at that time, according to common sense, a country's strategic deployment was highly secret, but he dared to openly show his hole cards to the enemy, which fully reflected his firm belief in the theory of people's war and China's victory.Seventy-eight years later, the important content of "On Protracted War" is still thought-provoking. It embodies the brilliance of Marxist strategic thinking and also demonstrates the revolutionary integrity of the Chinese communists in strengthening their ideals and convictions and daring to struggle.
In the face of a formidable opponent, we should keep a rational and analytical mind, actively mobilize all forces that can be mobilized, and strengthen our historical vision.
As Comrade *** said, truth is power. As long as we stand on the side of truth, even if we adopt seemingly crazy tactics, we will eventually become the wisdom that moves history forward.
The revelation of the four great yang schemes
"Besiege Wei to save Zhao", Sun Bin was like playing three chess, and skillfully asked Wei to transfer his troops to the west, and as a result, he took the opportunity to capture the small city in the east, which was simply exquisite.The second Yan Ying held two peaches in one hand and said that he would give them to the three ministers, but they fought for their heads and bloodshed, and in the end they were all cleaned up by Jing Gong, which really turned the peaches into killing weapons.
Then there is the "Tui En Order", which grasps the hearts of the people to the extreme, and Comrade **'s "On Protracted War" directly rekindles everyone's confidence in the war of resistance, which is simply the pinnacle of psychological warfare, which can be called incomprehensible!
These four major yang strategies were formulated under the background of the time, relying on the strength advantage of one party, and they were simply representatives of Chinese wisdom!
And *** wrote "On Protracted War", which was able to defeat Japan even though China was in a weak position, highlighting ***'s excellent strategic vision. "On Protracted War" systematically expounds the idea of how to defeat the Japanese aggressors under the condition that the enemy is strong and we are weak, which not only embodies the foresight and sagacity of the Chinese people, but also strengthens the confidence and determination of the Chinese people.
The enlightenment of these historical schemes is that both countries and enterprises must continuously enhance their own strength in order to gain lasting competitive advantages. At the same time, it is also necessary to be good at using strategies to properly deal with various complex situations.
When we grasp the opportunity and accumulate sufficient resources, we can take the initiative in the competition. If you make a mistake in judgment, you can easily fall victim to competition.
These exemplary schemes in Chinese history deserve to be studied and Xi pondered again and again in order to improve our ability to analyze and respond to complex situations.
