Historia. Tian Danlie's biography: "Soldiers are in harmony with each other, and victories are won by surprise." The good, the amazing. Odd and positive are still born together, like the ring of unprovoked. ”
Friends who are familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, for the name of Tian Dan must not be unfamiliar, he tried to turn the tide, save the Qi state "the building will fall", and finally recovered more than seventy cities that were attacked by the Yan state, and then was named An Pingjun, becoming the core figure of the later Qi state.
"Chronicle of History": "Tian Dan is the harvest of more than a thousand cattle in the city, for the dress, painted in multicolored dragon text, bundled with blades on its horns, and fat bundled with reeds on the tail, burning its ends." Dozens of caves were dug into the city, cattle were planted at night, and five thousand brave men followed. The oxtail was hot, angry and ran to the Yan army, and the Yan army was terrified at night. The Oxtail Torch was bright and dazzling, and the Yan Army regarded it as Long Wen, and all the casualties were killed and injured. ”
The "Fire Bull Array" tactics he created are full of legends, and they are even more talked about by future generations, and he is also praised as a famous general who "makes good use of strange soldiers".
Famous generals, this is undoubtedly a very high honor, especially in the Warring States years when wars are frequent, it is by no means something that can be borne by soldiers such as Zhao Kuo, and it is necessary to have enough dazzling achievements to support it, such as the famous four famous generals of the Warring States" "Qimu Qipo", all of them are behind the enemies with corpses and mountains of blood to pave the way, but for Tian Dan, the weight of this name is still somewhat insufficient.
What he showed in this "national disaster" can be said to include the ability of military experts, military teachers, politicians and even psychologists, so from the military level alone, he may not be able to compare with the "four famous generals", but the comprehensive ability is still superior.
Next, let's talk specifically about what are the abilities of all aspects of Tian Dan's performance in this battle, but before that, Red Dust Jun first talks about how sinister the background of this battle is, and it is absolutely not exaggerated to describe it as dangerous as a tired egg, a thousand guns, etc.
The state of Qi was facing a catastrophe
At that time, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States- Qi Chu Yan Han Zhao Wei Qin were attacking each other for many years, and the then Qi monarch Qi Tang Wang, who was very happy, attacked from all sides, and the success was frequent, continuously defeating the surrounding Wei, Zhao, Chu, and even qin and other large armies, and the limelight was unique for a while.
However, the prosperity of the pole is bound to decline, under the continuous battle of the King of Qi, the national strength is also extremely depleted, and there are many enemies, and as the monarch of the Yan State who has just been almost destroyed by the State of Qi, the King of Yan Zhao, is as good as the Yue King of the year, lying down and tasting the guts, the corporal of Li Xian, accumulating strength, like a blood-eating shark, coldly waiting for an opportunity next to him.
At this time, the famous general Le Yi was also invited by King Yan Zhao and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and then he seized the opportunity to lead the wei, Zhao, Chu and other allied forces to cut down Qi together, breaking through more than seventy cities, and later the rest of the country's armies were withdrawn one after another, but the State of Yan, which had a sworn enemy with the State of Qi, refused to retreat, and was bound to destroy the State of Qi before stopping.
At that time, how embarrassed was the State of Qi? Only the two isolated cities of Ju and Jimo remained, even the capital of the country, Linzi, was conquered, and the state artifacts and heavy treasures accumulated for eight hundred years were also moved to the State of Yan, and these two isolated cities were also besieged by the LeYi army for several years, and there was a possibility of the destruction of the country at any time.
"Records of History": "The Yan army heard that the king of Qi was in Juju and attacked him with troops. Huan Ya killed Yu Ju, the king of Tang, because of his insistence, he was several years away from the Yan army. Yan led the army to the east to encircle Jimo, and Doctor Jimo went out to fight and was defeated and killed. Phase in the city with Tui TianDan. ”
At that time, the King of Xiang, who was in Ju, was also killed by his subordinates, and there was no new king to succeed to the throne, and jimo's defender was Tian Dan, and what was in front of him was such a mess.
It can be said that at this time, don't say that it is Tian Dan, even if those famous military gods in the past and future generations such as Han Xin Jiang Taisun Grandson Wu Zixu including Qi Mu Qipo are all together, it is also impossible, because the Le Yi opposite them is also an unborn famous general, and he is very patient, steady and steady, without showing the slightest flaw, and the State of Qi wants to reverse unless there is help from heaven.
And this time, Shangtian really helped, and the Ming Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, especially the King of Yan Zhao, who was "trusted by the whole country" of Le Yi, fell ill and died, but it was king Hui of Yan who did not have much to do with Le Yi.
The first trick, anti-ma
For this kind of heaven-given opportunity Tian Shan of course will not let go, in fact, Le Yi's comprehensive ability in all aspects is still above him, at this moment he is not sure to defeat the opponent head-on, even if it is the use of the so-called "Fire Bull Array" strange soldiers, I am afraid that the hope of victory is extremely small, at most can only achieve a local war victory.
Therefore, he immediately began to carry out a counter-plan, which is also a strategy to deal with the extremely high success rate of famous generals - Bai Qi, Li Mu, and Lian Po have all been recruited, after all, they have led the army outside for many years, and how many monarchs in the country can use people without doubt and sit back and relax?
Tian Shan let people spread rumors, saying that Le Yi was deliberately holding the army on this side, in fact, he wanted to be the king of Qi himself, everyone knew that this good news spread very slowly, but the gossip ran fast, even if it was far less advanced than the ancient times where communication technology was now developed, this rumor soon spread to the ears of King Hui of Yan in the rear of the Yan Kingdom.
"Records of History": "Qing Zhi, Yan Zhaowang, Hui Wangli, and Le Yi have a gap." Tian Shan heard that it was a rebellion against Yu Yan, and declared: "The king of Qi is dead, and the city is not pulled out of the ears of the two." Le Yi was afraid of the curse and did not dare to return, in the name of Fa Qi, he really wanted to join the army to the south and Wang Qi. The Qi people were not attached, so they slowly attacked Jimo to wait for it. The Qi people are afraid, lest he come to him, that is, the ink will be destroyed. "The King of Yan thought so, and made the rider Dai Leyi."
King Hui of Yan originally did not like and trust Le Yi, and as soon as he heard the rumors, he immediately felt that it was too reasonable, and directly sent a close general named Riding Robber to replace Le Yi and let Le Yi come back quickly.
It is a great taboo for soldiers to change generals in the front, let alone a person who knows nothing about the situation ahead, to replace a person who has achieved great success and is very respected by all the soldiers?
Le Yi was a very clever person, knowing that if he returned to the Yan Kingdom, it would be over, and the Great Ding of the King of Yan Hui was waiting to "cook" him, so he surrendered his military power and went directly to the Zhao Kingdom to take refuge.
The second trick is to worship God
As soon as Le Yi left, the soldiers up and down the Yan Kingdom were very disappointed, and at the same time, they were not satisfied with the Yan King and the newly sent main generals, and their morale suddenly dropped a lot.
At this time, the balance of victory finally tilted a lot in the direction of the State of Qi, no longer as without a chance as before, but Tian Dan was not in a hurry, but used the second move - worshiping God.
He first asked his men to put food on a high place to pay homage to the ancestors, attracting many birds to eat, and the Yan army outside the city was extremely alarmed when they saw this strange situation, and Tian Dan fooled his men and said that this was the ancestor's apparition to bless them.
Then he found a subordinate pretending to be a god, in fact, he sat here without saying a word, but Tian Dan respectfully worshiped him as a teacher and said that his words were the will of the gods.
In this way, the Qi soldiers really thought that the gods were also protecting them, and invisibly had a little more confidence, after all, the people at that time still believed in this.
The third move, mourning soldiers
It can be said that at this time, the advantage of the Yan army has gone a few points, but Tian Dan still does not move, he is like a scheming strategist, continue to find ways to weaken the enemy and strengthen himself.
He first spread the rumor again, the Qi army was not afraid of anything else, it was afraid of being cut off by someone, and the simple riding robbery really believed it, so he let the noses of the captured Qi army be cut off and listed in front of the line, and the Qi army in the city was angry when they saw this insult.
Tian Dan still felt unsatisfied, and sent a rumor in the past, saying that the Qi people were still afraid that the graves of their ancestors outside the city would be dug up, so that they would have no fighting spirit at all.
Riding robbery is almost like undercover, for Tian Dan's plan is "a hundred shots and a hundred shots", and he asked his men to dig up the graves of the Qi people, and burn the bones.
"History": "When the People of Jimo saw it from the city, they all wept, and they all wanted to go to war, and they were ten times angry." ”
Under this series of insults, all the Qi soldiers had long forgotten the fear and panic of being besieged for many years, and they were all furious, and they only wanted to fight with the Yan army to the death, and their morale was extremely high.
The fourth trick is deception
Under Tian Dan's repeated strategy, in fact, the balance of victory at this time has completely changed direction, and the dominant one is already Qi Bing.
But he was still not satisfied, he must "do his best in one battle", and once again used the strategy of deception, he looked for someone to collect all the money and wealth in the city, and then found a few rich people to quietly take them to the opposite barracks to find a robber, saying that they were willing to surrender, and the money was given to the general, hoping that when the city was destroyed, they could spare their wives and children.
As a general, I have to say that the cavalry robbery is too bad compared to the opponent Tian Dan or the former Le Yi, it is not an opponent of orders of magnitude at all, he is more like an undercover agent of the State of Qi, in order to set off the ability of Tian Dan and Le Yi, and by the way, he also slapped the Yan Hui King several times.
He happily accepted these belongings, agreed to the requests of the rich, and then relaxed, singing and dancing, waiting for the Qi soldiers in Jimo City to open the door and surrender, and then he returned to China to make a good fortune.
But what he was waiting for was not a surrender, but a fire bull array, and an angry Qi soldiers.
Red Dust Jun said
The next thing is very familiar to everyone, Tian Shan put his wives and concubines into the team, scattered his family wealth to reward the three armies, and encouraged his own combat strength to the extreme.
Then he found more than a thousand strong cattle, painted them with terrifying totems, nodded their tails and rushed to the Yan army camp, and the large army covered behind them.
Poor Yan Jun was relaxing at this time, dreaming of a beautiful dream, and the generals led by the cavalry robbery were probably still waiting for the promotion and wealth, but as a result, they were directly scattered by the angry fire bulls, and the subsequent Qi soldiers fought in the flowers and water, and the cavalry robbers were also killed in the rebel army.
"History": "The Yan army was horrified and defeated. The Qi people then slaughtered and killed the general. The Yan army disturbed the run, the Qi people chased the north, the cities they passed were all yan and returned to TianDan, the soldiers were increasingly numerous, taking advantage of the victory, Yan Ri was defeated and died on the river, and the more than seventy cities of Qi were restored to Qi. It was to welcome the king of Xiangju and to listen to the government. ”
Then Tian Dan did not give the Yan army a chance to breathe, and went all the way north to cover up, recovering all the more than seventy cities and pools that had been lost before, and then welcoming the new king, and finally pulling the Qi state back on the line of life and death.
Therefore, from the perspective of this battle, the fire bull array can only be said to be the final fatal blow, and the real duel is actually mostly off the field, Tian Shan uses the counter-maul, worships the gods, mourns the soldiers, and surrenders these moves, continuously weakening the enemy army and strengthening the enemy, and these are the keys to victory.
So the art of war, "good warriors, no outstanding achievements", we look at the glorious resumes of those famous generals, in fact, do not always pay attention to those who slashed the flag before the battle or single-handedly fought hundreds of rounds, etc. - these are only the surface, and the real work often happens outside the field, for these famous generals, the war has not yet begun, in fact, the victory or defeat has long been known, and he generally does not take the initiative to shoot in the battle that is not sure, but the shot is a must kill.
