Cao Di is a villager, why can he casually meet Lu Zhuanggong? Cao Di asked, as a prince, why did Lu Zhuang Gong answer honestly and carefully like a primary school student?
The war between the two countries is such a big thing, why did Lu Zhuanggong easily let Cao Di point fingers?
Qi State will lose if it has three drums, and Lu State will win with one drum, what is the reason?
The inability to change the throne stably is often the weakest moment for the royal state.
After the violent death of Qi Xianggong, the second son seized the throne, and Lu Zhuang Gong stood on the side of Gongzi Jiao, hoping to forcibly interfere in Qi's internal affairs through military means, and launched a war of dry (dry) time, but as a result, he abandoned the car and fled and returned to China in embarrassment.
A year later, Duke Huan of Qi stabilized the domestic situation and decided to take revenge on the Lu State, and the Battle of the Long Spoon broke out between the two sides again.
During the preparation of the Duke of Luzhuang, Cao Di suddenly appeared and announced that he was going to see the monarch and teach him two lessons.
The fellow villager was puzzled: "Fighting a war is a matter of aristocrats and **, what are you involved in?" ”
Cao Di replied: "The nobles are very two, I must go there." ”
Lu Zhuanggong took the business card handed over by the palace guard, which said "Country Celebrity Cao Di", and after thinking for a while, he still planned to meet him.
Cao Di is not an ordinary villager, after Cao Zhenduo, the sixth son of King Wen of Zhou, he is at least a scholar.
Corporal Lixian, Lu Zhuanggong naturally has to take care of his reputation.
Cao Di introduced himself a few words, and asked: "Why are you fighting, why are you fighting this battle?" ”
The atmosphere came up all of a sudden, Lu Zhuanggong was a little nervous, he hadn't thought deeply about the nature of the war, he just felt that the Qi country was coming, of course he had to deal with the enemy.
Why did Lu Zhuanggong have to answer Cao Di's question, it involves a system of the Zhou Dynasty, and scholars have the political right to "inquire about the danger of the country", "inquire about the relocation of the country", and "inquire about the monarch", and it is obviously not appropriate to leave with their sleeves brushed away.
Zhuang Gong said: "From the fur jacket to the fried chicken legs, I don't dare to enjoy them alone, and I will share them with everyone." ”
Cao Di said disdainfully: "This is a small favor and a small favor, it can't be popularized among the people, and the people won't die for you." ”
I rubbed it, I didn't answer it right! Lu Zhuanggong rubbed his hands and said, "How many cows, sheep and jade silk are used in the sacrifice, I have truthfully told the gods and ancestors, and I dare not deceive." ”
Cao Di still denied: "It's just a small letter, have you done it?" The ghosts and gods will not bless you with this little letter. ”
Lu Zhuanggong felt that his heart was blocked, and he poured a bottle of fast-acting heart-saving pills into his mouth before he recovered, and then said: "Even if you can't investigate the big and small cases one by one, you must judge them according to the facts. ”
Cao Di finally nodded: "The king has fulfilled his job and can fight." ”
Lu Zhuanggong wiped the sweat on his head and sighed: "If you can't answer, you can't just raise the white flag and surrender?"”
Lu Zhuanggong and Cao Di rode in the same chariot, and the two armies lined up in the long spoon to prepare to dry.
Zhuang Gong wanted to drum, and Cao Di said: "No!."”
Lu Zhuanggong was the actual commander of the army, accepted the suggestion, and waited for the Qi army to drum three times, and Cao Di let the Lu division beat the drums, and the Qi army was defeated.
Why can one drum defeat three drums, isn't it very metaphysical?
If it is the law of warfare to make one drum and then decline, and three to exhaustion, then how can the Qi army stupidly have to have three drums?Could it be that this secret is only known to Cao Di himself, and the other generals of the Spring and Autumn Period have not summed it up?
The main function of the war drums is to convey information, give orders to attack and control the tempo of the attack, although there are some morale-boosting possibilities, I am afraid that it will also vary from person to person.
If the number of times the drum is beaten has a great impact on the success or failure of the war, then the art of war in later generations will inevitably have a special study and elaboration on this, but no, basically it is about how to release accurate command orders through the sound of the drum.
So why did the Lu army win?Because Cao Di is a hooligan.
Spring and Autumn was the period with the most rules and etiquette in ancient times, and there was a set of rigid and even cute rules for wars between princes. There are detailed requirements for when, where, how, and under what circumstances it cannot be fought or pursued, and violators will be ridiculed and condemned.
Drumming for the advance, Qi ** team rushed up and found that Lu Guo did not beat the drum and should not fight, although I don't understand why, but in this case I can't beat the other party, so I had to retreat and reorganize the attack.
The second time Lu State should not fight, Qi State retreated, from top to bottom is a little confused, what is the situation, is Lu State's drum broken?Or are the drummers collectively having diarrhea and going to the toilet?
Not only did he have all kinds of doubts, but he was really deflated by going back and forth twice, and the third attack was very casual, because he didn't know whether Lu Guo would fight or not.
At this time, the Lu State suddenly beat the drum, and then drove the chariot to cover the kill, and of course the Qi people would be defeated.
To put it bluntly, Cao Di's so-called one-shot combat strategy is a rule-breaking speculation, and he can be counted as a military strategist.
It is precisely because of people like Cao Di that the war has gradually changed to an irregular form, that is, sophistry, no matter what the method, just win it. And those who still follow the rules, such as Song Xianggong, not only have to lose the battle, but also be scolded for having brain problems.
