Recently, I read an article and felt extremely speechless, which mentioned such a story. It is said that after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, one day the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin paid a private visit to the people and walked to the door of Wang Pu, the former famous minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the small door of Wang Pu's family suddenly opened with a squeak, and the frightened Zhao Kuangyin solemnly dressed up and respectfully greeted Wang Pu's family with an extremely respectful attitude. At that time, Wang Pu had been dead for more than ten years. But did you know that this story is made up? At that time, the person who hated Wang Pu the most in the whole world was Zhao Kuangyin.
I have always believed that Wang Pu is the greatest traitor who has harmed the Chinese nation throughout the ages, and that he is absolutely unqualified and respected by anyone.
You might think how can my view of history be so biased? Then look at this Wang Pu, who put forward a strategy that will bring calamity to the country and the people and affect the evolution of the Chinese nation over the millennia.
As usual, on Baidu, search for Wang Pu,
Wang Pu
Chancellor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, representative works of "Law" and "Pingbian Policy"
Wang Pu (906 – April 25, 959), courtesy name Wenbo, was a native of Dongping (present-day Dongping, Shandong). During the Five Dynasties, the Northern Later Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty were famous subjects.
Since childhood, he has been intelligent and alert, eager to learn and good at writing.
In the first year of Xiande (954), Chai Rong became emperor, and The promoted king Park was made Bibu Langzhong. Dedication to "Ping Ding Strategy",
"Pingbian Ce" shows his political and military talents. Using the strategic attack first near and then far, easy first and then difficult, tactical attack to avoid reality and virtual, disturb the enemy to make it tired and expand the territory of the Later Zhou, achieving the unification of the Song Dynasty.
So our question comes, that is, from the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, what is the reason why the Han family erlang of the Chinese nation, as soon as he encounters the northern nomads, such as the Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongolia, will collapse at a touch, such a soft-footed tiger habit, with whom?
My personal opinion, for reference only, everything has to start with later Zhou Shizong, Chai Rong ascending the throne, and accepting Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy".
Far away, we will not say how Li Guang, who was sick in the Han Dynasty, fought to the hometown of the Xiongnu, and the near ones including Yang Jiong of the Early Tang Dynasty, as a literati who had never been on the battlefield, wrote famous border poems.
The beacon light shone on Xijing, and his heart was uneven.
Yazhang resigned fengque, and the iron rode around the dragon city.
Snow dark flag painting, wind and noise drums.
Ning is a centurion, and Katsu is a scholar.
I am now writing articles, without looking up the information, I can type out these historical poems with my hands raised, what is the reason? Because even my typing method admits that this is a historical masterpiece of Han Jia Erlang.
When you arrived at the Song Dynasty, including the Northern Song Dynasty's famous Xiang Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang, who proposed that I first destroy a Liao country to play?
When we write articles, we do not mean that we must be different from the new, but in the end, we must tell the truth, try to ask the whole Northern Song Dynasty, from 960 AD---- 1122 AD, who proposed: "Your Majesty the Emperor, give the subjects a crack army." The minister gave you to take yanyun sixteen states? ”
Did the Northern Song Dynasty have a kind of predatory warrior, or did it really exist?
As usual, Baidu zhengshi.
In the first year of Jingde (1004), Emperor Zhenzong of Song ordered the addition of Yang Yanzhao, also known as Yang Liulang in folklore, with an army of 10,000 men, and if the Liao cavalry invaded, the army would be tuned to the east of the Jing'an army.
Here it needs to be pointed out, where was Yang Liulang stationed at that time? Jing'an is Tianjin Jing'an, and the mozhou below is today's Renqiu in Hebei, in other words, Yang Liulang led the elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, stationed in the eastern part of the endless North China Plain, facing today's Beijing, that is, the Liao state Youzhou at that time.
Emperor Zhenzong of Song ordered Mozhou to deploy Shipu, and the Tun army used it to protect Tuntian west of Macun. Cutting off the road of the enemy cavalry at Heilukou and Wannian Bridge, the various armies would still gather to pursue the enemy army at each other's horns, so that Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, and Tian Min would use strange troops to contain the enemy army. At that time, Wang Chaoren was deployed and did not subordinate to things.
Yang Yanzhao said: "The Khitan garrison is thousands of miles away from the northern border, and the men and horses are very tired, although the soldiers are crowded, they are easy to defeat, and all the looted goods are placed on horses. It is hoped that the road armies will be admonished and their respective dangerous roads will be guarded, and the enemy soldiers will be annihilated here, and then the you and Yishu prefectures can be attacked and captured. "Played the emperor without replying." Yang Yanzhao then led his troops straight to the Liao Territory, attacked the ancient city (southwest of present-day Guangling, Shanxi), and captured many enemies.
At this time, it was only 44 years before the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Yang Liulang was 46 years old, he was a serious Chinese Han family lang, he was the son of Yang Ye, the hero of a thousand ancient heroes in china, the golden sword Linggong Yang Ye.
At that time, the Song Dynasty had already begun to implement the strategy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, and Yang Liulang's position was very low, at best, he was only a general of the Song and Liao border passes, but he was indeed not afraid of the Liao state.
What was he in the eyes of the Song Dynasty courtiers? He is an iron man, a fool who fantasizes about hitting a pebble with a pebble every day.
And all this has a lot to do with the Song Dynasty's military thinking of expanding the border, speaking and listening, finding the reason you have to find the roots, we follow this line group, nagging, and finally everything is back to the Later Zhou Mingchen, Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy".
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > then we turn our attention back to Wang Pu of Later Zhou, and everyone noticed that the "Pingbian Strategy" proposed by Wang Pu was the military offensive strategy of first south and then north, first easy and then difficult. </h1>
Comrade Wang Pu perfectly avoided the view that the narrow road met the brave to win, and the strategy he implemented was to first pick up soft persimmons and pinch a few more, and the Territory of the Song Dynasty would be large.
In fact, he has always been stealing the concept, that is, bullying soft persimmons, a moment of cool has always been cool, but as long as these invincible, invincible Song Dynasty army, turn back to the northern tribes and countries, including the small Northern Han, the Northern Song Dynasty can not be defeated.
In Wang Pu's theory, by letting the Song Dynasty destroy the small southern imperial court, it was indeed possible to expand the territory of the Song Dynasty, but with these small countries, the Song Dynasty did not actually fight a hard battle.
Do I have proof? There really is.
In 969 AD, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, with the strongest team on the surface of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial conquest, went north to attack the Northern Han, we do not say that he attacked for a long time, and he could not defeat the Northern Han, and then was forced to dig up fenshui and flood the destruction of Taiyuan City.
We will only talk about Zhao Kuangyin's achievements in the first half of the war. His losses will be very severe. Let's see what the history says.
In order to prevent others from saying that we copied other people's original articles, we used a picture narrative method. In the article, we can see Zhao Kuangyin's strategy of attacking the Northern Han Dynasty, still want to pick up soft persimmon pinch, in the following picture, I will use red pen to make up Zhao Kuangyin's strategic ideas. He just lacked the courage to confront the Liao state.

At this point in the article, do you see Zhao Kuangyin's operational policy of bullying the soft and fearing the hard?
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, moreover, inside the small court of the Northern Han Dynasty, it is really a mess into a pot of porridge, this superficial appearance, the Song Dynasty also has the emperor's personal conquest, and there are all the troops with the sharp spirit of the Later Shu that has just destroyed the Hou Shu, not only that, but also the internal response of the Song Dynasty in the small court of the Later Han Dynasty, all said that fighting a war needs to be favorable to the heavens and the place, and the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, the soldiers will be more light. And they fucking lost.
Did you see, this may be the best news for the Great Song, the Liao Emperor Liao Muzong Yelü Shulu died, in this case, Zhao Kuangyin still did not take down the Northern Han, so that as long as the Song army mentioned the Liao army, instinctively turned around and wanted to run back.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > which is certainly related to Zhao Kuangyin's dispatch of troops, but who dares to say that this has nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin's superstitious Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy"? </h1>
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > we continue to analyze the reasons for the defeat of Zhao Kuangyin's troops, Zhao Kuangyin does not seem to be prepared to fight against the Liao, or to say fight against the northern tribes, because both in terms of combat readiness and psychology, the Song army is not well prepared. </h1>
This problem is exactly different from the characteristics of the northern nomads' combat. The Song army was not good at hard-hitting, nor did they dare to be tough, they had been fighting a tailwind battle, whether it was fighting the Southern Tang or Later Shu, usually the Song army fled without reaching the enemy. However, these Liaoguo turtle grandchildren are not accustomed to Zhao Kuangyin.
Not to mention, Song Jun has always been opportunistic.
Until later, a general of the Song Army proposed that His Majesty let us dig up the Fenshui and flood the taiyuan city.
Here once again shows that the Song army is not good at fighting hard battles, and their understanding of war is too crude and naïve, because they are all generals who graduated from kindergarten.
As a result, the Song army did not die of comfort, they died of the plague caused by the flood, but this should have been thought of before they dug up the fenshui.
We took out Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy" again. Everyone carefully studied it, and the "Pingbian Policy" showed Wang Pu's political and military talents. He advocated that when fighting a war, we should use the method of strategically attacking first near and then far, first easy and then difficult, tactically attacking to avoid reality and virtuality, and disturbing the enemy to make him tired.
However, after several battles with the Liao state, we found that Wang Pu's strategy was ineffective against the Liao state, because the Song army fought from above, blindly taking advantage of the trick, blindly avoiding the real and the virtual.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > is there anyone who does not intend to use Wang Pu's "Pingbian Strategy" to win? </h1>
That is The righteous father of Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Guo Wei, he dared to show his sword when he fought, this guy was particularly tiger, as a great general who fought on the battlefield properly, Guo Wei's strategy against the Liao state was not to urinate on the Liao state. Let's continue to look at how the canonical history is recorded.
We all know that the Liao state had several emperors. The first emperor was Yelü Abaoji, the second emperor Washu Deguang, and the third emperor was Yelü Nguyen.
Here we have to mention the history of Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, who chose to follow the third emperor of the Liao State, Liao Shizong Yelü Ruan Hardgang. He did not listen to Wang Pu's avoidance of reality at all, and he chose to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Liao state. When he followed the Later Han Yin Emperor to work, he actively arranged on the border between the two countries and prepared to attack the Liao state, and we noticed that Guo Wei, as a general of the Northern Han Dynasty at that time, not only did he take measures to defend the Liao state, he also taught the righteous son Chai Rong how to fight with the Liao state. Later, in 956, his son Chai Rong laid down the combined forces of the Liao state and the Northern Han dynasty at Gaopinggan.
At the end of the article, we objectively evaluate this Wang Pu, who may be a famous courtier of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but his "Pingbian Strategy" is actually a peek-a-boo strategy, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty took his "Pingbian Strategy" as a military guiding ideology, which really harmed all The Chinese Han family children.
