Liu Bei led 500 people to fight a great victory, but with 750,000 people, why was the whole army destroyed?

Liu Bei led 500 people to fight a great victory, but with 750,000 people, why was the whole army destroyed?

When Liu Beizhuo County revolted, he received a total of 500 xiangyong people with the support of Zhang Dahu. Liu, Guan, and Zhang led these 500 people to Zhuo County to assist in the battle, at this time, just when the Yellow Turban Cheng Yuanzhi led 50,000 soldiers to attack, I don't know if Liu Yan really had no soldiers or wanted Liu Bei to go to death, and even did not help a soldier, so he let Liu Bei lead these 500 soldiers to fight the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army.

It was also Liu Bei's good luck, coupled with the brothers' very contentious spirits, Zhang Fei stabbed Deng Mao to death with one shot, Guan Yu slashed Cheng Yuanzhi with a knife, and 50,000 people suddenly scattered as birds and beasts, and countless people descended. In the end, Liu Bei was benevolent and benevolent, and did not ask for a single soldier, and did not take the opportunity to expand his strength. In fact, Liu Bei could not afford to support these people, and the money donated by Zhang Dahu was enough for these 500 people to eat and drink Lasa.

Liu Yan accepted the surrender and made a generous gesture, sending Zou Jing to bring 5,000 soldiers to assist Liu Bei to Qingzhou to help Taishou Gongjing. At this time, Liu Bei was still carrying the 500 soldiers, and I did not understand one thing: Liu Bei's 500 soldiers broke the Yellow Turban with 50,000 people, how could his 500 soldiers be unscathed? In short, Liu Bei could only bring 500 people, and if there were more, it should not be difficult to gather 500 people.

However, in fact, it was Liu Bei who played the real command role for these 5,500 soldiers, and when the siege of Qingzhou was lifted, Liu Bei ordered Guan and Zhang to lead 1,000 men and horses to attack each, breaking the Yellow Turban. In this sense, Liu Bei was fully capable of commanding 5,000 people of this order of magnitude. Later, Liu Bei led 3,000 men and horses from Pingyuan County to save Beihai, and saved Xuzhou and borrowed 2,000 men and horses from Gongsun Zhan, a total of 5,000 people and horses. Liu Bei saved Tao Qian with 5,000 men and horses and luck, and it seems that Liu Bei's command of 5,000 men and horses should be handy.

Liu Bei won Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a large county, the city has tens of thousands of people, Liu Bei, as the lord of Xuzhou, also commanded the movement of tens of thousands of horses. Later, Cao Cao falsely said that he had instigated Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei led a horse infantry army of 30,000 to fight, so that Ji Ling did not dare to fight. It shows that Liu Bei commanded 30,000 horses to win the battle, and there was no problem.

After Chibi, Liu Bei led 30,000 horses into Shu, and after winning Yizhou, Liu Bei's military horses exceeded 100,000 for the first time. Of course, at this time, Liu Bei's good generals and strategists had dozens of members, WeChat searches, business management schools, and commanding these hundreds of thousands of people. Liu Bei's leadership of the people to take Hanzhong can be said to be Liu Bei's proud work, and the number of people and horses in Hanzhong is not more than 100,000.

Unfortunately, like Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei's first battle of Yiling, led by hundreds of thousands of troops, was lost, claiming that 750,000 troops were destroyed under the fire of Lu Xun. This battle caused the Shu army to be so badly injured that the Shu state could no longer organize such a large army.

Liu Bei led 500 people to fight a great victory, but with 750,000 people, why was the whole army destroyed?

Liu Bang once asked Han Xin, saying you see how many soldiers I can bring? Han Xin said: The lord can bring 100,000 soldiers. Liu Bang asked again: How many soldiers can you bring? Han Xin said: The more the merrier. Liu Bangrong horse in his lifetime, can only lead 100,000 soldiers, Liu Bei can also be regarded as a generation of heroes, but in terms of ability to lead troops, but did not surpass his own ancestor.

But the difference between the marshal and the general is here, the marshal is more concerned about the entire war situation and strategic deployment, and the general is more focused on using troops to complete tactical tasks. Therefore, the commander-in-chief must not do what the general does, otherwise he will die ugly. Cao Cao directly commanded an army of 830,000 on the Yangtze River, writing poems and drinking freely, which was extraordinary. But he also made the mistake of directly managing the army. If Cao Cao had not been on the Chibi battlefield, but had looked at the entire battle situation from the outside, I am afraid he would not have lost so badly.

Judging from the deployment of troops in Chibi, the Cao army is 800,000, while the combined forces of Sun Liu are only a few hundred thousand. If the Cao army divided three large battalions along the river, any one of which was enough to be on an equal footing with Sun Liu's combined forces, then Zhou Yu would never be able to solve the problem with one fire. If Cao Cao was not on the scene, no one could independently command these 830,000 horses, then Cao Jun would inevitably have to divide the camp, and once these 830,000 horses were divided into camps, Sun Liu's coalition army would only have a dead end. But the problem was that Cao Cao was in the camp, Cao Cao was not Han Xin after all, and the 830,000-strong army was too much for him.

The same is true for managing a company. When the company is just starting out, there are not many people, and the general manager can take care of it completely. However, with the development of the company and the increasing number of employees, we had to re-plan the company's organizational structure and adopt hierarchical management to improve our management efficiency. There is a conventional golden ratio of 1:6 in management. It is said that one person directly managing six people is the most efficient management structure. When your subordinates exceed a multiple of six, you have to consider whether to add another division.

As the top manager of the company, as long as you firmly grasp the department managers of several key departments, the specific things should be let go and let them do, and your intervention will make your subordinates helpless. When Cao Cao commanded the Chibi campaign, his capable subordinates must have been sleeping, and they said in their hearts: Anyway, there is an old man here to command himself, and when the sky falls, he is on top, we still talk less, and more words will cause trouble. When you're too busy to die and your subordinates are sleeping and watching jokes, your good days are coming to an end.

If any president wants to learn from Liu Bei or Cao Cao, and the affairs of a company of hundreds of people are directly managed by him, then the burning of the camp or the burning of Chibi is not far from him.
