Background: In the autumn of the 16th year of the Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei raised 200,000 troops, and the soldiers left Yangping Pass to cut down Wei again. This time, the famous story of the soldier trapping the Iron Cage Mountain took place. Sima Zhao, a figure known to passers-by later, also almost died. Why weren't they killed? One is because the spring water was found on the mountain, and the other is because the character of Guo Huai appeared and rushed to the rescue, and it was rescued by strategy. This strategy was that Guo Huai used a counter-plot to successfully reverse Jiang Wei's reinforcements.
Here is an analysis of why Jiang Wei was able to succeed after failing at the beginning in this military expedition against Wei, but at the critical time of success or failure, he was finally killed and returned with a big defeat, which is very sad. Despite this, Jiang Wei is still a character, and at the time of such a fiasco, he can also take arrows with his bare hands and kill Guo Huai, which is really a character. In this dispatch, the front was to kill Xu Qian with a plan, and the back was to be confused by Guo Huai's use of tactics, but he ended up as a lonely man and returned with a big defeat. To sum up, why is there such a big reversal? Here are two important reasons to be discussed, one is the possibility of using the odds of winning, how big is it? Second, Jiang Wei did not realize that he could use heavy gold to collude with the fans and create an alliance between Shu Han and Qiang soldiers, and the enemy could do the same.
Start by analyzing what happened
This kind of result shows that the soldier is indeed a kind of trick, and it is a fleeting fighter, and the soldier is not expensive for a long time. This lesson is still there, and the Southern Song Dynasty also occurred in the story of Han Shizhong carelessly trapping Jin Wushu in Huang Tiandang.
War is cruel, either the enemy dies or he dies himself. At this time, it is even more necessary to learn lessons from the defeats, so that the war or the war situation can be reversed and successful. In the autumn of the 16th year of the Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei once again conquered the State of Wei, and Sima Shi heard about it and asked the generals, Ji Will be released? Who can go there? At this time, Xu Qian responded with a voice, and he said that he was willing to go. Xu Is known for his bravery, and it is true that this kind of bravery is also needed for fighting, but it is not only bravery.
Bravery is only one aspect of the way of the general, and more importantly, it is a kind of grand plan, that is, the plan will be out of the house. What strategy can be used to win, not just a kind of courage alone? However, the brave man has the advantage of the brave man, and this kind of person can charge and fight the front.
From these points of view, Sima Shi's way of employing people is not a failure, because the war also needs such brave people, so as to grasp the initiative of the war at the beginning. The result is also the same, which proves that this Xu Qian is not a generalist, and as soon as he appears, he defeats Liao Hua and Zhang Yi. Jiang Wei's frontal victory is to use a strange military strategy to defeat the enemy. On the other hand, this place is not good, so change the place and fight again, there will be ambushes. The original war site, according to relevant records, took place in a place called Dong Ting.
Secondly, why did Sima Zhao win the plan, or Xu Qian would definitely come and die.
Because Xu Qian is a pioneer, he will definitely appear. Moreover, jiang Weibing was defeated and moved to the iron cage mountain village, with the tunbing grain as a long-term strategy, Sima Zhao would definitely send someone over, which led to the story of Xu Qian's robbery of grain. Xu Qian's troops were half scattered, and under the narrow road encounter, they were brave and powerless to be killed.
Xu Qian's death is very normal. In war, in the face of the enemy's bait, you can eat it, and if you can't eat it, you will be eaten. As soon as Xu Tian died, Jiang Wei immediately disguised himself as Wei Bing to rob the camp. At this time, it should be noted that the place where Sima Zhaotun's soldiers were located should be directly in front of Tielong Mountain, and Jiang Wei's soldiers were behind Tielong Mountain. Interestingly, they were all unfamiliar with Iron Cage Mountain. Otherwise, sima zhao's six thousand soldiers and horses were forced to be trapped in the Iron Cage Mountain, and the ending was not like this.
Analyze again why Guo Huai was killed.
Sima Zhao was trapped in Tielong Mountain, and his eldest brother Sima Shi was the one in charge of the military power of the State of Wei, and naturally sent troops to rescue him. He sent a veteran General Guo Huai. In war, the most important thing is to obtain information and intelligence, and then how to find a way to turn disadvantages into advantages, turn enemies into friends, and win by surprise. Guo Huai is a veteran who knows that reinforcements are very important, he is a reinforcement, and he needs to relieve Sima Zhao; and qiang soldiers are also a reinforcement, and they must first subdue them before they have a chance of victory.
After subduing The Fans, with the Qiang soldiers mixed with the Wei soldiers, they quickly hit the military tent directly, which was very powerful, Jiang Wei did not expect this hand, as a result, he fled in a hurry, taking only a bow and no arrows. As a result, Guo Huai saw it, and came to a general to hunt down and kill, this scene is really a bit of a nest, this is for Guo Huai, it is so. When he was defeated, the result was even more unexpected, after Jiang Wei's empty bow without arrows pulling the empty bow camouflage shooting ten times, Jiang Wei took the arrow empty-handed, reflecting Guo Huai's response and falling to his death. This shows that at the end of the road, it is still the ancients who said it well, and the poor Komo chased. If so, the result is that Guo Huai will return home victorious. However, for the general, the most important thing to do is to send troops to pursue, rather than thinking that they can come and go in pursuit.
To sum up
The wonderful story of Sima Zhaobing trapping Tielong Mountain also leads to a way of using impermanence and infinite calculation. First, Jiang Wei used a meter to kill Xu Wei; then Guo Huai used a meter to kill Jiang Wei. What is particularly ridiculous is that Jiang Wei used money to bribe these Qiang soldiers to come to his aid, but did he not know that the other party also had this hand? This shows that Jiang Wei's information and intelligence work is not in place, and he does not know the people who are confused, if he knows that this person is like this, it is better to kill him, and do not want this reinforcement.
Since Jiang Wei had set up a village before and after this, he should also do a survey of this iron cage mountain, understand, and not be careless and careless. If it had been found that there was a mountain spring here before, no matter what, it would be necessary to develop a strong attack to eliminate Sima Zhao. Some of the original records also prove this. Because, there are written records that when Xu Qian pursued and killed Jiang Wei, he was trapped in the Tielong Mountain, like the later Sima Zhao, but after finding water, he used a wooden box wooden track to transport troops down the mountain, so he was safe and sound. Really, in the midst of eagerness, there is a plan. And in this rush, there is no way to find the story of Bai Di out of the spring to survive.
Sima Zhao's soldiers trapped Tielong Mountain can be compared with the story of Zhuge Liang's burning of Sima Yi in the valley above. If Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's strategy had been more elaborate, Sima And his father and son would have ceased to exist, and the Jin Dynasty would have been gone, and the State of Wei might still be the domain of Cao Cao's descendants and could not be destroyed by Sima Zhi. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that this is Providence, but in fact, it is a kind of inadequacy of human conspiracy. The so-called wise man has a thousand worries, and the fool will have a thousand worries, and he will have one gain, and this is exactly what happened. To count infinity, or to count infinity, must also be bound by this Tao, and with the support of this Tao, this scheme can win!
