Let's start with the difference between strategy and tactics
Strategy is often used to guide what we want to do, similar to a goal in life or the direction of development in the future, and it is a fundamental strategy that needs to be implemented over the long term
Tactics, on the other hand, are the problem of how to achieve a goal within the framework of a given strategy, and the 13 strategies that we talked about earlier are all in the category of tactics
So an excellent strategy will bring you huge benefits on the contrary a failed strategy can only make yourself fall into passivity It's like working in the wrong direction and you can only get a miserable defeat And tactical strategy can only determine a temporary victory or defeat It rarely affects the overall situation Next, let's talk about the seven most successful strategies in the original book If you like it, please help like and share
7 Anjuping 5th Road
Soon after the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei died Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Bei was dead, so he adopted Sima Yi's plan to unite with Eastern Wu A total of five routes of army to attack Shu Han Cao Pi thought that even if he couldn't destroy Shu Han this time, he could make it collapse, who knew that Zhuge Liang dealt with it calmly and let Cao Wei and the five-way army of Eastern Wu waste food and pay without leaving home, and returned in vain The ministers of Shu Han praised Zhuge Liang for his unpredictable opportunity

After the failure of the 18th road princes to defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao returned to his garrison Bohai, due to the lack of food in the army, coupled with the fact that Jizhou Mu Han Fu was timid and cowardly, so Yuan Shao started Jizhou's crooked idea, but Jizhou had enough money and food, and the soldiers were strong and strong, Yuan Shao was afraid that he would not be able to do it alone, so he planned to attack Jizhou with Gongsun Zhan, and after the agreement was completed, he divided the land equally Gongsun Zhan also coveted Jizhou for a long time, so he readily agreed
Who knew that Yuan Shao secretly sent someone to tell Han Fu that Gongsun Chan was coming to attack Jizhou, which frightened Han Fu So despite the dissuasion of the strategists, he insisted that Yuan Shao come to fight against Gongsun Chan This was in Yuan Shao's arms, so Yuan Shao easily got Jizhou without spending a single soldier
5 Tuntian Raising Soldiers Deeply rooted in order to control the world
Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou Liu Bei controlled Xuzhou This made Cao Cao very angry When he was about to send troops to attack Liu Bei, Xun Yu formulated an important strategy for Cao Cao to dominate the Central Plains, that is, "deeply rooted to control the world" Persuade Cao Cao not to rush to attack Xuzhou This strategy is enough to defeat the enemy and retreat can be held It can not only prevent Lü Bu from attacking again, but also prevent the battle line from being too long and the enemy from cutting off our grain route
Cao Cao decisively adopted Xun Yu's suggestion, after which Cao Cao marched eastward, defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, obtained food for the army, and then went all out to manage his own territory and implement the tuntian system
Later, although Cao Cao was defeated by Chen Gong and Jia Xu's tactics many times, he never shook his foundation, and finally captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, defeated Zhang Xiu, defeated Yuan Shao, and dominated the Central Plains, while those opponents who were several times stronger than Cao Cao before were like sleepwalking, doing nothing, and finally lost to Cao Cao
4 Attack the heart for the top Attack the city for the bottom
After the rebellion of the barbarian king Meng Shu, Zhuge Liang personally led a large army to conquer and suppress the rebels in the first battle in order to stabilize the rear and peace of mind in the Northern Expedition Zhuge Liang easily defeated the rebels in the first battle At this time, the latter lord Liu Chan sent Ma Tan to the labor army Zhuge Liang asked him about the strategy of breaking the enemy Ma Tan analyzed the root cause of the barbarian rebellion and put forward the strategy of "attacking the heart and attacking the city below" The whip of the analysis penetrated into Zhuge Liang thought that it was true After that, in order to subdue the barbarians once and for all, Zhuge Liang captured the seven and captured Meng Shu and let him completely belong to Shu Han for the later Northern Expedition to the Central Plains
But this also left a hidden danger, and after that, Zhuge Liang mistakenly thought that Ma Jian was a talent with unique strategic vision, which laid the foundation for the later lost street pavilion
3 Sun-Liu Alliance
The Sun-Liu alliance is an important strategy in the Three Kingdoms period, and it is also the basis for the three-legged alliance to be realized, and this strategy can actually be regarded as an ancillary product of Longzhong, and Zhuge Liang at that time already had the idea of tying Sun Quan in the east and rejecting Cao Cao in the north
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao was still strong and Sun Liu was weak, but after the two joined forces, they could still counterattack Cao Cao under the condition of self-preservation, and since then the three parties have restrained each other, Cao Cao did not dare to face the south, and Sun Liu could also seek development in the cracks
2 Longzhong pair
After Xu Shu left, Liu Bei realized how important it was to have a top military advisor, so Liu Bei went to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, and this became the famous Longzhong pair
After that, the Son of Heaven was coerced to order the princes of Cao Cao to occupy the Tianshi, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong was seized to retain the geographical advantage, and Liu Bei entered Xichuan and won the peace, and then gradually formed a three-legged trend, just waiting for the world to change, then the two northern expeditions to the Central Plains, then the Han family can prosper, and the royal industry can be successful
It can be said that Zhuge Liang's Longzhong is very strategic and has not yet come out of the woods, and it is a pity that Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Liu Bei defeated Yiling, which completely disrupted Longzhong's plan Since then, the Shu Han regime has been like a one-legged monster Taking care of one thing and losing the other
1 Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes
This is the most successful strategy in the Three Kingdoms period There is no one The person who proposed this strategy is still frustrated, but unfortunately Yuan Shao did not adopt it
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who suffered from Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others one after another, has been living a life of exile and hiding in Tibet, but although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at this time was panicked like a lost dog, he was still the nominal co-ruler of the world and the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a banner with considerable appeal For this, Cao Cao's chief strategist Xun Yu saw it very clearly, so when he learned that Emperor Han Xian had fled to Luoyang from Li Guo and others, Xun Yu immediately suggested that Cao Cao follow the example of the former "King Xiang of Zhou Xiang of the Duke of Jin Wen" and explained the importance of the emperor How keen Cao Cao's political wisdom was How could you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity So he immediately adopted Xun Yu's suggestion to send troops to King Qin to firmly control the Son of Heaven in his own hands
After that, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it can be said that Cao Cao was able to sweep away the heroes and unify the north It is directly related to this strategy
The above are the seven most successful strategies of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in my mind, if there are any shortcomings, please advise
