For two thousand years, only he participated in Zhuge Liang's Eight Arrays, but finally shook his head and said: Let's take a detour
Introduction: Zhuge Liang was a famous scholar who was admired by the world, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the popularity of various novels, he gradually became a god in people's minds, but in recent years, more and more people have paid attention to the history, and people have found that bridge sections such as the empty city plan are novels, so a trend of demeaning and even blackening Kong Ming has arisen. In fact, famous celebrities like Huan Wen, Wang Xizhi, Du Fu and other famous people in history all particularly admired Kong Ming, and how can we question him?
Zhuge Liang not only governed the people well, but also made great achievements in governing the army, he used his troops cautiously, liked to fight steadily and steadily, and was good at using the advantages of infantry formations to oppose Cao Wei's cavalry, which was very important for the Shu state, which had always lacked warhorses, he invented the Eight Formation Map when training the army, he once relied on this formation to repel Lu Xun on the Yangtze River, help Liu Bei get out of danger, and during the Northern Expedition, he even defeated Cao Wei's iron horse, and Sima Yi did not dare to go out of the city.
After Kong Ming took over the Shu Han, he faced a big problem, that is, there was no strong cavalry. Because Shudi originally did not produce war horses, first, there was a lack of soldiers who could ride horses, and second, there were not enough war horses, and the mountainous terrain was actually more advantageous to infantry. However, if the Shu army rushed out of Hanzhong, it was facing a flat and vast Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and in this terrain, the advantage of cavalry was great, so it was difficult for the Infantry-based Shu army to compete with Wei Qi.
For this reason, after repeated deductions, Zhuge Liang finally trained an army that could form eight formations. It is not as divine as in the interpretation, but it is a very effective formation that resists the ride with steps. It can be divided into eight small squares, surrounded by stones, chariots, etc. as cover, in the middle is a circular main array, the main general will live in it for command, the main line will not change, but the remaining eight sub-formations can change a variety of formations to deal with different military situations, up to 64 changes in the formation, so that the enemy army can not break the formation after entering the battle. In addition, the soldiers in the formation were equipped with crossbows, which could be shot before the cavalry could be approached, and if there were still cavalry who dodged the crossbow arrows, there was a first row of soldiers in the formation holding shields, and several groups of soldiers formed a spear array to resist.
The eight formations were very effective in using infantry to resist and ride, which is why Cao Wei's military strength was far stronger than that of the Shu army, and he always suffered losses in the face of the Shu army on the battlefield, and even could only shrink without fighting. After Zhuge Ge, almost no one could learn this array anymore, and even the only person who could see through this array in two thousand years was Huan Wen. More than 100 years after Kong Ming's death, he led his army to conquer The Han Dynasty in the west, and when his fleet passed through Yong'an City, he saw eight rows of stone pillars standing on the river beach, each line two meters apart, and Huan Wen was very happy to see this and said to his staff: ''Can you know? This array is the Changshan Snake Force''.
For thousands of years, only he could see that Kong Ming was posing as an array of snakes, and the biggest feature of this array was that they could rely on each other head and tail, attacking one end and the other end coming to the rescue. Everyone praised Huan Wen and asked him to enter the battle to see if he could break the formation, but he finally shook his head and said, "I don't dare to break, let's take a detour!"' After that, he successfully destroyed Cheng Han. In Chengdu, he once found an old man who was more than 100 years old, who had worked as a small official under Kong Ming's account, and he asked the old man what was the ability of Kong Ming at that time? The old man replied, "I don't feel strange when I am there, but when I go, I know that no one can compare!" Huan Wen was very impressed after hearing this.
Conclusion: It can be seen that Huan Wen is a big fan of Kong Ming, and he still has great admiration for him, although he said that he had seen through the eight formations, but he did not dare to enter the challenge, on the one hand, out of respect for his predecessors, on the other hand, he was afraid that he did not see through at all, and he could not come out after going in, and the shame was small, if he lost his life, the opportunity to lose Shu was great. Huan Wen was not far from the era when Kong Ming was active, and as an emperor of even the Sima family, he did not pay attention to the ambitions of the Sima family, and the ambitions who wanted to usurp the title of emperor all had such admiration for Kong Ming, indicating that Kong Ming was indeed superior at that time.
