Later generations often used the phrase "bow down and die later" to describe this great man, Zhuge Liang, as a very brilliant figure in the Three Kingdoms period, left a profound figure in history for future generations. Treat others with humility, strictly discipline yourself, and never harm the interests of others with selfish interests. Not only is he familiar with astronomical geography, but he also makes clever use of talents.
Wang Ping was a general whom Zhuge Liang's men admired very much, how powerful was Wang Ping? Wei Yan was a military general that Liu Bei admired, but Zhuge Liang had to promote Wang Ping above Wei Yan. Presumably, Wang Ping must have his superiority, so that 10 years after Zhuge Liang's death, Wang Ping defeated 100,000 Wei troops with less than 30,000 troops, so how did he do it?
1. Zhuge Liang, a loyal and wise man
Zhuge Liang was not only a very powerful politician, military man, and writer. He is also a famous calligrapher and inventor. Before becoming a chancellor, he cultivated in Nanyang and lived a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests, after Which Liu Bei invited him out of the mountains. Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly assisted Liu Bei and advised him.
As a chancellor, Zhuge Liang still maintained an indisputable and open-minded style, which attracted the admiration of others, and as a chancellor, he not only put forward a shrewd combat policy in various wars of all sizes, but also made great contributions to the Shu kingdom. Zhuge Liang is the most typical representative figure of loyal subjects and wise men in history.
In the face of the powerful enemy Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang cleverly proposed the strategy of "uniting Wu against Cao Cao", which made Liu Bei admire the five bodies throw themselves to the ground and obediently follow suit, forming a situation of three divisions of the world. Then, during the Chibi War, with his broad mind and pattern, he cleverly attacked Zhou Yu and borrowed the East Wind to fill his arrows, and the generals were surprised, so that Zhou Yu gave himself a thumbs up.
Zhuge Liang, although he was wary of Confucianism, persuaded Sun Quan. On the surface, it seems to be a matter of moving the lips, but in fact, it is not, because everything Zhuge Liang personally practices and realizes them one by one, not to convince people with reason, but to a greater extent to prove himself with actions and convince everything. Such a sage is still a Bole, good at selecting talents, and has a very unique vision.
But in the face of so many talents, Zhuge Liang most appreciates people who are as steady and careful as himself, and Wang Ping is such a general, who is not afraid of danger and acts calmly and calmly. When he was not yet famous in the team, Zhuge Liang quietly noticed him, and after the Battle of the Street Pavilion, Wang Ping's excellent performance in it was deeply appreciated by Zhuge Liang.
Second, the steady general Wang Ping
Wang Pingyuan's name is He Ping, he was fostered by his parents in his grandfather's house since he was a child, because his grandfather's family name is He Ping, so Wang Ping was often called He Ping in his youth. He Ping, who did not grow up in front of his parents since childhood, lacked the love of his parents, but in the growth of his grandfather's family, because the guardian was an elderly man, Wang Ping was also careful and steady in doing things from an early age, never taking risks.
However, the blood of the teenager was nowhere to be released, and it was inevitable that there would be some cowardice in personality, and when wang Ping grew up, he served Cao Cao in Cao Camp, but he did not get Cao Cao's attention and reuse for a long time, and over time Wang Ping stayed in Cao Camp and was also very depressed, coupled with the long admiration for Zhuge Liang's name, as a result, once Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei in Hanzhong, Wang Ping resolutely decided to defect to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was very happy to see Wang Ping defect to his ranks, so he appointed Wang Ping as a general of the Tooth Gate and a general of The Pei Dynasty. In 227 BC, when Liu Bei had died, Zhuge Liang sat up in a dream, excitedly wrote the "Table of Renunciation", and then began the long Northern Expedition War, the goal of which was only to realize the last words of the former emperor and restore the Han Dynasty.
In addition, after the death of Emperor Xian, the military spirit of the Shu State was scattered, and this decision was also a good role in condensing the military heart at the moment. In the Northern Expedition, the Battle of Jieting was one of the most crucial battles. Zhuge Liang first chose the Qishan Road, which was flatter than other roads. The street pavilion is located on the top of Qishan Mountain, and the terrain is very dangerous.
It is a must for many roads. Therefore, the street pavilion has become the key point of attack and defense of Wei and Shu, on the street pavilion it seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, because of the dangerous terrain, it takes a lot of troops to break through, Wang Ping suggested that Ma Mo stationed at the intersection of the road is generally no problem, Zhuge Liang also thinks so, but Ma Mo did not listen to Wang Ping's persuasion at all, and rushed up the mountain to defend without authorization.
Unexpectedly, the Wei army cut off the water source on the mountain, and the army that lost the water source was momentarily panicked, and the result can be imagined, the battle was a big defeat, and the losses were serious. At this time, General Wang Ping rushed forward, calmly and calmly led more than a thousand people at the end of the battle, and then collected a lot of Shu troops and brought them back to the Shu camp safely, Zhuge Liang was extremely relieved to see it, and he felt that Wang Ping was a malleable talent.
Later, Wang Ping made many military achievements in the Northern Expedition war with his own care and steadiness, and a very small part of the Wudang Flying Army took the life of the enemy Zhang Guo. Wang Ping's calm style in combat is similar to Zhuge Liang's style. In the face of very tense situations, the two can always be able to stay in danger.
Third, Wang Ping won more with less
Therefore, Zhuge Liang admired Wang Ping very much, and later Zhuge Liang died of overwork in the twelfth year of Shu Jianxing at the age of 54. Not long after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan, who had been unappreciated by Zhuge Liang, rebelled, and Wang Ping was ordered to fight against Wei Yan, and the resourceful Wang Ping was moved by reason, and wei Yan's army was withdrawn without a single soldier.
Later, Wang Ping was successively promoted to the positions of Hou Dianjun and An Han General. Later, Wei Yan died at the hands of Ma Dai, Wang Ping replaced Wei Yan as the "Taishou of Hanzhong", Yan Xi for seven years, Cao Shuang led more than 100,000 elite troops to attack Hanzhong, if you want to but Hanzhong's strength is only 30,000 people, when you hear the news, everyone is scared silly, but looking at Wang Ping, he is still as calm as ever.
After some thought, Wang Ping decided to adhere to Wei Yan's previous policy, skillfully using the terrain of Hanzhong, while causing internal friction in the enemy, the Shu army seized the opportunity to rush to the rear to request support, the result was obvious, the Wei army due to the long route, coupled with the bumpy terrain in the middle, soon the grain and grass will not be enough, before the time to attack Hanzhong, it will retreat in ashes.
4. Summary
So there is a good story that General Wang Ping defeated 100,000 Wei troops with 30,000 troops, worthy of Zhuge Liang's appreciation, in the ten years after Zhuge Liang's death, Wang Ping, who was humble and even illiterate, worked hard to learn combat techniques, and although he could not read books, the resourceful Wang Ping let his literate soldiers read to him, which can be described as very studious.
After understanding General Wang Ping, it is not difficult to see that the general rarely mobilizes troops on the battlefield, and generally adopts the method of wisdom, which is very similar to Zhuge Liang, Wang Ping and Zhuge Liang, that is, the Thousand Mile Horse to Bole. 10 years after Zhuge Liang's death, General Wang Ping also "obeyed the orders of his master" and spared no effort to defend the Shu state for several years, which was truly admirable.
