Our history in China is extremely rich, after thousands of years of precipitation, there are not many successful cases, but there are also many lessons that make people sigh and fail.
No one is a general who always wins, and doesn't our god of war, Marshal Lin Biao, also have the defeat of the Battle of Siping? Didn't Guan Yunchang, who rode alone for thousands of miles, also lose Maicheng? However, there are many examples of failures because the leaders will only talk about it, never contact reality, show off the knowledge in books, stubbornly apply rigid things, sensationalize the public, and as a result, they will fall into a nose and blue eyes, and even lose their lives, harm themselves, harm others, and even harm the country!
Far from it, we will say that the failure of the Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign was not harmed by Wang Ming's left-leaning dogmatism? If the Red Army led by the "Three-Man Regiment" had not squeezed Chairman Mao out of the leadership with soldiers like a god, if it had not been for Bogu and Li De's detachment from reality and the rigid application of the experience of the so-called communist movement abroad, where would the magnificent epic Long March be to come? A battle on the Xiang River cost the Red Army more than half, and the 25,000-mile Long March reduced the Red Army's strength from more than 80,000 troops to less than 30,000. In the final analysis, theory is divorced from practice. On paper, soldiers are harmed. History is a mirror that will always play out the same version of the story at different times and in different places.
The idiom "talking about soldiers on paper" comes from the warlord Zhao Kuo of the State of Zhao during the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo was very intelligent at a very young age, familiar with military books, and often debated with his father --- zhao guo's famous general Zhao Hao, saying that the head is the Tao, and the mouth is like a river. His father told his mother that fighting a war was not a child's play, it was a matter of life and death, and Zhao Kuo was so easy to talk about. In the future, Zhao Guo will not use Zhao Kuo as a general, and if he is used as a general, then it will be he who destroys Zhao Guo.
Shortly thereafter, in 260 BC, the Qin army launched a major attack on the State of Zhao, and the veteran general of the State of Zhao, Lian Po, personally led a large army to resist the enemy at Changping. The Qin army could not attack for a long time, and used the anti-plot to make Zhao Guozhong plan, and replaced the experienced veteran general with the exaggerated Zhao Kuo. In the end, the Zhao army was defeated by the Qin general Bai Qi at Changping, killing 450,000 Zhao troops, and Zhao Kuo himself was shot and killed by the rebel army.
Coincidentally, inside, there is a very braggadocio character as the protagonist, Zhuge Liang led his troops out of Qishan and attacked the State of Wei, because Mr. Zhuge Liang has always been prejudiced against the general Wei Yan, in the selection of the vanguard, used The horse mo that Liu Bei had reminded him before his death that he could not reuse, and prepared to say: Ma Mo This person is exaggerated and overused! And Mr. Wolong Zhuge who was happy to compare himself to Guan Zhong, actually thought that Ma Mo was a rare talent, so there was a saying that "Zhuge Liang slashed Ma Chen with tears".
In fact, Zhao Kuo and Ma Mo are not bad people, on the contrary, they are good people who are dedicated to the country! I also want to serve the country with my life's blood! Their subjective desire is also to get things done, but they have suffered the loss of subjectivism, the loss of dogmatism, self-righteousness, which has led to the ultimate failure! Harm others and harm oneself and mislead the country! Therefore, history always has striking similarities, and only by not forgetting history can we learn new things from the past! Only by summing up the lessons of our predecessors can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past! Remember---- "good people mislead the country" is not the original intention!
