There are still many battles in history that change the outcome of a war because of one person, the most famous of which are Xiang Yu's broken cauldron and Li Jinglong's series of heads in the Jing Disaster.
Among them, Xiang Yu's battle was also the most proud battle of his life - the Battle of the Giant Deer.
This battle made full use of the whole army, the key points of the art of war of the same desire, tens of thousands of troops, but to seek a victory. In the end, the end was desperate, all of them were ten, fierce battles for several days, and 50,000 Chu troops broke the chapter and left 400,000 Qin troops!
Xiang Yu was also the god of this battle, so the Qing Dynasty literary scholar Pu Songling also combined his story with the story of Gou Jian and made a couplet: Those who have lofty ideals, things are accomplished, the cauldron is broken, and the hundred and two Qin Guans eventually belong to Chu;
Bitter people, the sky does not bear, lying down to taste the guts, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu.
This is a positive case, because the victory of one person reversed the situation of the rebel army, so that qiangqin, which had swept through Liuhe, was declared extinct three years after the peasant uprising!
The opposite I mentioned earlier is that in the Jing Disaster, Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 people to return from a major defeat, which indirectly led to the result of the Jing Disaster!
Li Jinglong is a typical second-generation official, his father is an imperial relative of Gen Zheng miaohong, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, and Li Jinglong is also Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and grandson, Zhu Di's little cousin! It is estimated that when Jing is in trouble, the two will say hello as soon as they meet: Come, cousin!
Not a family, do not enter a door, perhaps because of relatives, cousin Jianwen Emperor does not care, after all, or cousin kiss, he failed every time he crusaded against Zhu Di in the Jing Dynasty, it is estimated that you are Jianwen Emperor will suspect him of releasing water!
However, Emperor Jianwen grew up in the hands of the women of the deep palace, and was surrounded by Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other acid Confucian literati, and it was indeed "close to Zhu who is red and close to ink, black, and smells the same".
It is estimated that thinking that relatives are always more realistic than outsiders, failure once continues to let him lead the army out on the expedition, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, unconsciously, to the end of Emperor Jianwen, four years of Jianwen, Zhu Dibing to Nanjing, Li Jinglong played his last bit of use value, Kaicheng surrendered, and then Emperor Jianwen did not know the end.
Play so steadily, there is no one left! Because Li Jinglong not only lost the First World War, but also directly led to the change of the Ming Dynasty's imperial lineage, which is also an extreme counterexample. And after Li Jinglong's bottom line, everyone knows it, and then until the day of death, it was not reused, after all, this cousin is an old fox, where like that cousin nephew, it is simply a guinea pig!
Xiang Yu and Li Jinglong, one positive and one negative, told us with practical actions: Individuals can not only affect the outcome of the war, but also the fate of the country!
