The Thirty-Six Counts are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient Chinese soldiers. It explains some of the basic principles and laws in the way of using soldiers in an easy-to-understand, in-depth and simple way, so that this profound and mysterious study of the art of war can henceforth be understood and accepted by ordinary people, because it has a high popularity among the people for thousands of years, is widely disseminated, and has a very far-reaching impact. Because of its extremely high coverage, it has almost exhausted the common military strategies, so there are more or less thirty-six shadows in the classic battles of the past.
Zhuge Liang, a warrior master in the Three Kingdoms era, was deeply familiar with the way of the general army, almost to the point of pure fire and divine enlightenment. Faced with the rapidly changing battlefield situation, he commanded Ruo Ding to do so, even in the face of the powerful Wei state, he could not fall behind. For example, in the unfavorable situation of the war, others retreat but seek self-preservation, but he is not, especially good at "taking the sheep by the hand" when retreating. Two of the six out of the Qi Mountains were made of great military achievements during the retreat.
At the time of the second departure from Qishan, the Shu army forcibly attacked Chen Cangcheng, only to be resolutely resisted by the Wei general Hao Zhao. Zhuge Liang saw that the tired soldiers were under the fortified city and took the initiative to withdraw their troops. The State of Wei thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately pursued it, but Zhuge Liangqiao set up an ambush and killed the Wei general Wang Shuang with his hands when retreating. When sima Yi insisted on not fighting, the Shu army ran out of grain and grass and had to retreat. Wei Guoxiao pursued Zhang Guo's troops, but was counterattacked by Zhuge Liang, who set up an ambush at MumenDao, and a generation of fierce generals Zhang Gao were shot as hedgehogs.
Although Zhuge Liang was wise and strategic, after all, the Shu people were weak and weak, and they could not afford to win and lose, so the pursuit of stability in everything was the best, and it was better to win than to be invincible first, and strive to avoid using tactics that were too risky. It is safe to be stable, but at the same time, it also loses many good opportunities to defeat the enemy. Ordinary people often say that "cowards are not allowed to be generals", which is the reason. In fact, with the strength of the Shu Kingdom, if you want to restore the Central Plains and eliminate Cao Wei, under normal circumstances, there is little hope, and if you want to achieve this goal, you must not play your cards according to common sense.
Before Zhuge Liang attacked the State of Wei, Wei Yan had offered a plan, and he suggested using the strategy of "darkness Chen Cang" to send troops in two ways, one bright and one dark. Zhuge Liang was in charge of a frontal attack to attract the attention of the State of Wei, and he volunteered to lead 5,000 troops to secretly pass through a dangerous path in the Qin Mountains. If all goes well, he can directly attack the Wei state of Chang'an City, if he can break the city in one fell swoop, then the land of Guanzhong will return to Shu Han, and the strength of Shu Han will change drastically through this, and he will become a powerful country in the Three Kingdoms, and the restoration of the Central Plains will no longer be a dream, and Liu Chan can hope to become the lord of the world.
