The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 341 Unparalleled Art of War
Don't you see that the ancients burned mercury and turned it into dust on Beiman Mountain.

The lotus root hangs in the void, wanting to fall but not worrying about killing people.

The heroes of Suishui have many bloody swords, and Jianzhang's palace is smoldering.

The road is difficult, the road is difficult, life and death are up to God.

——Excerpt from Gu Kuang (Tang Dynasty) in Difficult to Journey

……

After paying homage to the grandson of Bingsheng, Bai Fu paid homage to Wang Zhongsi again.Sitting upright, waiting for the famous general to explain the law.Thinking of being able to get the true biography of the world's number one art of war master, I am delighted and proud.

Wang Zhongsi didn't speak at the first moment, after a long silence, he sighed: "Don't thank me, joining the army family is a blessing or a curse, I don't know.

Since ancient times, the ending of military disciples has not been perfect.Almost none of Wu Qi, Bai Qi, Wu Zixu, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Han Xin, Zhou Yafu and others died well.

Why?

It's all because the art of war is the art of slaying dragons. Once fame rises and the power of life and death is in one hand, it will surpass the master, be hated by treacherous craftsmen, make the king jealous, and bad luck will follow.

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselors are dead." 'It's about the fate of military disciples.

Only Fan Li, Zhang Liang and others can start well and end well, but they can only be regarded as first-rate figures.

Sun Tzu, Gui Guzi, Ji Ranzi and other high-level people, the dragon can see the head but not the tail, possesses unparalleled knowledge, possesses extraordinary skills, has the ability to move the sky and the earth, regards the world as a chess game, holds black and white, turns the world around, and smashes the world. , This is a super character. "

Bai Fuwen's fascination.

Wang Zhongsi said: "However, the art of war is not only the art of slaying dragons. To learn the art of war, to see the nature of the mind, the common people use it every day but don't know it. The sages of military strategists have insight into human nature, and they can turn clouds and rain. On the top, they can fight on the battlefield, and on the bottom, they can capture people's hearts.

When Master taught me the art of war, it was just in time for His Majesty's great talents, who wanted to conquer the Western Regions.I was eager to leave my teacher, open up the territory for the Tang Dynasty, guard Liangzhou with a single horse, and search for a prince for thousands of miles, so I bid farewell to my teacher.

When I went down the mountain, my master once warned me: I am still one step away from the mastery of the art of war.The only way is to imprint the art of war into the bone marrow, be vigilant in daily actions, be vigilant and fearful.Only then can we turn bad luck into good fortune, start well and end well.

But when I fight on the battlefield, I am invincible and invincible.Jiedu four towns, the glory and prestige cannot be added.Gradually, he prided himself on being arrogant and didn't take Master's warnings seriously.Don't know how to hide your strength and bide your time, just do your best.

Since then, the art of war has never improved, and has never broken through the last stage.

It wasn't until being framed by Li Linfu and others that he was deeply imprisoned. Like you, he didn't understand the true meaning of the art of war until he was in a deep prison.

After being in prison for several years, I feel grateful to my teacher every day, feel ashamed and ashamed, and regret it too late. "

Speaking of this, Wang Zhongsi was full of emotion, and said: "Before I officially pass on your art of war, the reason why I babbled and babbled for a long time is that I hope you will start steadily, build a solid foundation, be quiet and wise, and participate in the battle soon. Understand the true meaning of the art of war. Don't be like us. Although we are all over the world, we die at the hands of small officials with swords and pens and small craftsmen.

As a disciple of the military family, he has the karma of killing, and his sins are serious.If you don't have high wisdom, you will not end well, remember it! "

Bai Fu is awe-inspiring, and he will remember it with his heart.

Wang Zhongsi said: "Xunzi said: 'People are born with desires, and if you don't get what you want, you can't do without seeking. If you want without measuring and dividing, you can't do without fighting.'

Life is alive, do you want to fight?If you fight, how do you fight?To what extent?This is where the acupuncture point of the art of war lies.

Military strategists come from Taoism and are in the same line as it.Many strategies of military strategists are exactly the same as those of Taoism.

In the view of military strategists, the purpose of war is not to defeat the opponent, but to make oneself invincible and maximize the profit for one's own side.War is not about killing, but about preserving.Preservation of life, including the life of the enemy, preservation of the city and country, property and materials.

A real military strategist emphasizes the awe of war and the cherishing of life.Rather than saying that the law of the strategist is the law of war, it is better to say that it is the law of not fighting.

Do not fight, do nothing, rest and recuperate, the generals do not make great achievements, the kings are not powerful, and the people in the world will be prosperous and the country strong, and the people will be safe and peaceful.

To learn the art of war, you must first learn from the sage grandson. "Grandson" is the ancestor of EMI.Emperor Taizong said: "I have seen all the military books, but Sun Wu is nonexistent."

And the essence of "Sun Tzu" lies in the six characters of "benevolence and righteousness, and opportunity and power".

……

In the days that followed, Wang Zhongsi taught him all he had learned on weekdays.Sowing beans to make soldiers, cutting grass to make horses, analyzes the ancient and modern battles one by one, using wars to explain the mystery.

Not only that, Wang Zhongsi also introduced the world's mountains and rivers, geography and climate, customs and customs one by one, so that Bai Fu could remember them in his heart.

Prison is no longer a kind of bondage, and Bai Fu has benefited a lot from the space between the square inches and the sun and the moon in the pot.Looking at the world from the perspective of a military strategist, you will suddenly feel that the pattern is open and magnificent.Bai Fu gradually transformed from a swordsman, ranger, and martial artist to a soldier and general.

……

On this day, I talked about "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Questions and Answers": "The victory and defeat in ancient and modern times is just a mistake. For example, in chess, if you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game."

Wang Zhongsi said: "'You can't win by yourself, but you can win by the enemy'!
When the two armies confront each other, you must first set up your camp and organize your troops to remain invincible and wait for the opponent to make mistakes.If the other party doesn't make mistakes, just keep going and see who has more food and grass.Once the opponent loses his temper, reveals his flaws, and has a gap to take advantage of, he must concentrate his troops and horses to win with one blow, encircle and wipe them out.

When the enemy makes a mistake, don't miss it.Does the enemy make no mistakes?Make mistakes in many ways and try to lure him to make mistakes. "

Bai Fu nodded in praise and said, "Yes, soldiers never tire of deceit. Deceit should be the core of the art of war, right?"

Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said: "Sun Tzu said: 'Those who are good at fighting stand in an invincible position and will not lose the enemy's defeat. That is why the victorious soldiers win first and then seek war, and the defeated soldiers first fight and then seek victory'.

The core of the art of war is to win first and then fight! "

"Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, Law" five things

"Which one is the master? Who is the general? Who is the master of the world? Who is the law? Which is the strongest soldier? Who is the soldier? Who is the reward and punishment?" Seven Strategies

A good fighter decides whether to launch a war through precise calculation of these five things and seven strategies.

After careful deployment, gaining a dominant position, and obtaining superior conditions, only those who are good fighters will go into battle, so that the chances of winning will be great.

However, many generals were reckless and rude. As soon as they saw the enemy, they rushed to fight, trying to capture the opportunity in the battle, and won by luck.This tends to increase the chance of losing.

Sun Wuzi, the sage of soldiers, repeatedly emphasized war preparations in his military books, focusing on pre-war preparations for rainy days, strategy, logistics supplies, marching formations, setting up camps, army morale, and general management levels.In Sun Wuzi's view, these preparations before the battle are just an instant inevitable result.

Winning first and then fighting, fighting under the premise of gaining an overwhelming advantage, never taking chances, this is the way of the holy soldier. "

At this point, Bai Fu couldn't help but interjected: "General, you are talking about the art of war of a strong country, right? A weak country has weak troops and insufficient food and grass, how can it have an overwhelming advantage? How can a weak army be invincible? "

Wang Zhongsi smiled and said: "This is a good question. The art of war is not the art of the strong, but the art of war of all people.

How can a weak army have an overwhelming advantage?The answer is to form local advantages and concentrate superior forces to fight the battle of annihilation!Destroy the vital force of the enemy army, obtain the enemy's supplies, food and grass, support the war with war, and invade supplies. "

Bai Fu suddenly realized.

Wang Zhongsi continued: "Just now I was talking about the battle itself. Sun Wuzi, the sage of soldiers, regards war as a game of chess. He thinks about it as a whole. He doesn't care about the strangulation of black and white numbers, but cares about the shape and momentum of the chess game. Victory is often won outside the chessboard of war.

Sun Wuzi, the sage of soldiers, emphasizes strength, which is a comprehensive contest between the two sides in terms of timing, location, talents, state affairs, commodity breeding, and cooperation.

Sun Wuzi's victories were first won in the temple, not in the battlefield.

Despise the song-like battle legends, and pursue victory without bloodshed, victory without a fight, and victory without a fight.

All the generals of my Tang Dynasty today are seeking victory on the battlefield, but the famous generals of ancient times are seeking victory outside the battlefield.This is the difference between a fierce general and a military saint.

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated. '

The cruelty of war is far beyond people's imagination. 'You can't be angry and raise your troops, and you can't be angry and go to war'.A real coach will not start a war out of anger, will not start a war for interests, will not start a war for feelings, and will not even start a war for justice.

He started the war for only one reason: to win it!
