In 546, The Eastern Wei chancellor Gao Huan led an army of more than 100,000 to the nest, intending to annex Western Wei in one fell swoop. However, the famous Western Wei general Wei Xiaokuan held the isolated city of Yubi for more than 50 days, killing and wounding 70,000 soldiers of Eastern Wei, and finally forced Gao Huan to withdraw his army, and it did not take long to die.
This is a classic case in Chinese history in which less wins more, and it has a shining mark in the history of ancient warfare.
To say that Wei Xiaokuan is a general who can recruit good warriors is really underestimating him, Wei Xiaokuan not only can fight, but also has an overall view and a big strategy.
When Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou unified Northern Qi, although Wei Xiaokuan did not participate in the war, he presented Emperor Wu with the "Three Strategies of Pingqi".
The first strategy: long-distance and close-range attack, Northern Zhou should be flattened and Northern Qi, and friendly relations should be established with the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan first.
The second strategy: confuse the enemy through diplomacy, before launching a military offensive, we should first fight a diplomatic war and make good friends with Northern Qi to confuse the other side.
The third strategy: be prepared and wait and see. Wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the civil strife in Northern Qi to launch a crusade war.
Emperor Wu adopted and implemented these three strategies, and smoothly leveled them, showing that Wei Xiaokuan was not only a good general, but also a strategist from a lofty height. #历史回眸 #
