Ping An Biography

As night fell, water vapor and gunpowder smoke got mixed together, forming a hazy fog on the battlefield.This is our last night at the camp.

"Tomorrow morning, let's take the wounded soldiers and prisoners and go directly to Changde City. General Wei's troops have already set off along the Yuanshui River. At this time, the government is already frightened. General Wei's recapture of Changde City should only be overnight. When we arrive at the place It must be taken." Zhu Heng said calmly in the central army tent, "Chenzhou also arranged for a group of troops to go there, and it will not be difficult to take it down. Maybe the troops left by Xue Lu there will not be too difficult after hearing the news. going to run..."

There are still a few generals left in the big tent of the Chinese army, and there are also officials from the Senate Department to accompany them, because everyone's faces were flushed after drinking some wine before.The battle was not yet completely over, and a large number of soldiers and horses were still fighting. It was not time to celebrate, but this did not prevent people from drinking a lot of wine to celebrate the victory in advance.

Zhu Heng finished arranging the next business, but everyone didn't want to disperse, as if they were still immersed in the jle battle during the day.

"Can the lord know how to play chess? Today's business is almost done, how about a game of chess with the lord?" Zhu Heng pretended to be relaxed and asked. [

Zhang Ning, who was sitting on the futon in the middle, said casually: "What kind of chess is Zhu Butang referring to? If it is chess, I will be a bit good at it. Go will make you laugh."

"We can only find go in the army." Zhu Heng said solemnly, "If my lord doesn't mind, can Rong Chen teach me how to play Go temporarily?"

Zhu Heng is the highest-ranking civil servant under Zhang Ning. Others kindly say that the professor plays chess, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting books are all elegant things in the literati world, so it is hard to refuse.Besides, Zhang Ning can only sleep in a tent in the wilderness tonight, and he has nothing to do at night, so he said with a smile: "This is very good, I can just ask the experts in the game."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Heng went to the guards to get a set of Go, and the two of them set up a simple wooden table in the middle of the futon, and put the chessboard on it.All civil servants and military generals were also watching with great interest. One of the two players in the game is the prince and the chairman of the Senate. The theory of chess may be interesting.

Zhu Heng picked up a white piece from the chess cup, and said with a smile: "My lord is honored, so I will not hesitate to place the piece. After speaking, I placed the piece on a corner of the chessboard without thinking."

Zhang Ning really doesn't know much about Go. If modern people are not professional players or enthusiasts, Go is really not popular... He is quite proficient in fighting the landlord.But although I don't understand it, it is the basic rule of qnghu. If the chess pieces in the middle are not surrounded by four sides, they will "die"; son.

"Haha." Zhu Heng smiled heartily, "My lord is wonderful."

Zhang Ning: "..."

Even the chess watchers felt that it was too obvious that Zhu Heng wanted to flatter him.Unexpectedly, Zhu Heng said with reason: "This first move is the simplest and the most wonderful. The master wants to occupy the corner at the beginning of the move, and he is very good at Go, but I don't mean to flatter you. Just like the King of Han When the army was raised, the lord and ministers all persuaded the King of Han to occupy Nanjing, that is, the one who occupied the southeast corner."

Now Zhang Ning seemed to understand that it was false for Zhu Heng to play chess, but it was true to say something about strategy at this juncture.So he had a good feeling in his heart, although he didn't know much about Go, but he still knew very well to use chess to explain the truth.

Zhang Ning picked up chess pieces to occupy the empty space on the chessboard, and said according to Zhu Heng's words: "It is indeed a good way to occupy the corner first, both sides are sealed by the border, the threat is less, and you can take it easy." Enclosure development situation."

Zhu Heng was also playing randomly, and the two moved very quickly as if without thinking, "The four corners on this chessboard are all the same, but the four corners in the world are different."

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Then Mr. Zhu has to give some pointers."

Zhu Heng said indifferently: "It is said that the southeast corner occupied by the King of Han has been a place of victory since ancient times. The country is rich and the people are strong and can be attacked and defended. But to occupy this corner and occupy it stably, the Yangtze River natural moat is not the most critical place, one of the keys. But it is the Huaihe River. Since ancient times, there is a saying that "to defend the river, one must defend the Huaihe River". The Huaihe River not only provides a barrier for the defense line of the Yangtze River; Looking at it, the natural moat of the Yangtze River is too fragile. There has never been a precedent that the Huaihe River can survive for a long time.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Jingying chased south and rushed to Yangzhou and Huai'an after the First World War in Xuzhou regardless of the preparation of food and fodder, and took the lead in seizing control of the north bank of the Yangtze River.After the defeat of the Jianghuai River, the King of Han had no choice but to deploy heavy troops to defend the river. This has already failed.The next key place in the southeast corner is Huguang, especially Wuchang.In order to protect the integrity of the river defense, the middle and upper reaches must be controlled, otherwise the enemy can flow down the river; even if the towns in the middle reaches are heavily defended, it is not the best strategy.

The minister repeatedly suggested that the King of Han would enter Wuchang, and offended many people for this, but his suggestions were not adopted.The king of Han did not get the key to the two places, and the southeast corner cannot be kept. This is the principle that has long been on the "chessboard" of the Central Plains; "

Zhang Ning nodded frequently when he heard it, and suddenly felt that it made sense.These mysteries may be common sense in the history of thousands of years of hegemony, but it may only be common sense among a few people. Zhang Ning was the first time he heard of the "Jiao" strategy.He gradually developed a great interest, and pondered: "If the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are compared to the southeast corner, then the southwest corner should be Sichuan? The northwest corner must be Guanzhong, and the northeast corner... shouldn't be Liaodong. Liaodong was not in the past. It’s not the core area controlled by the Central Plains dynasty, but Hebei?”

Zhu Heng said: "My lord is right."

Zhang Ning bowed, sat upright, and hurriedly asked for advice: "Then what is the Huguang we occupy, sir, please teach me."

However, Zhu Heng pretended to be closed, and lowered his head to look at the site: "The minister and the lord each occupy two corners. The corner has been contested, and it's time to fight for the side."

On the Go board, Zhu Heng obviously gave way to him, so Zhang Ning was able to take the corner calmly, but the focus tonight is obviously not on Go.Zhang Ning suddenly said: "Let's take a side!"

"I haven't even occupied the border for the time being. At least I have to take advantage of the victory to seize Wuchang, Yuezhou, Jingzhou and other places before I dare to say that I have occupied the border." Zhu Heng twisted his beard on his chin and said bluntly, "So when we were in front of Chenzhou When the tens of thousands of troops were pressing down on the border, the minister repeatedly blocked the lord from attacking Baoqing, and it was out of this kind of general consideration that he had to occupy a side to be considered shortlisted and qualified to exist on the chessboard."

Zhang Ning said: "According to Mr. Wang's saying that the world is like chess, the corner is the best place, so it shouldn't be a good idea for us to occupy the side?"

Zhu Heng shook his head slightly and said: "No. At the beginning of chess, everyone has to fight for corners, just like the beginning of the world from order to "chaos", all heroes have to occupy corners to gain momentum, so as not to be easily swallowed in the torrent; but now This is a special period. It is not the general trend of "chaos" re-competition. The "chaos" is only short-lived, and it is meaningless to fight for corners. Just as the world is unified, there is only one corner left, so what is the use of having a corner? Fahe The whole world is fighting.

Forgive me for speaking bluntly, in terms of the general situation, I didn't think that the king of Han and the lord had many opportunities at the beginning, but the matter has come to this point, and the only way is to do it knowingly.At this time, for some reason, we have to look at the full market from the beginning, and there is no opportunity to gain momentum from a corner; we can't be limited to a corner, we must make progress towards the 'side'.Chen Jin said: "It is better to attack than to defend", I hope the Lord will remember it.

Why do we have to fight?Generally, those who are enterprising must fight for the edge in order to expand outward.During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han owned Yizhou (Sichuan) and occupied a corner, but they attached great importance to Jingzhou, and they fought for the border. Without Jingzhou, it would be difficult for the Shu Han to have an aggressive momentum... The King of Han has the southeast corner, but he is not our confidant enemy. On the contrary, it is beneficial to me; that's why we have to fight for the side, and the next step is to strive to be in harmony with the southeast, so as to build momentum...Wuchang must be taken! "

Zhang Ning nodded in agreement.

Zhu Heng said again: "In this battle, Huguang has become a strong enemy, and Yuezhou and other places are looking for something, but it is not time to let go. I suggest that you prepare to enter Wuchang as soon as possible. Then occupy Kuizhou before you can become powerful."

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, then asked: "The focus on Kuizhou is to prevent Sichuan?"

Zhu Hengdao: "There is a passage in the "Biography of Zhang Yi". After Qin occupied Xichuan and threatened Chu, it said: 'The big boat accumulated millet from Mount Wen, and went down the river to Chu for more than three thousand miles. The boat carried the soldiers, A boat carrying 50 people and a three-month eclipse floats in the water, and travels more than three hundred miles a day. Although the miles are many, it does not take much effort, and it will take less than ten days to reach the pass...'The mystery has been revealed. The king of Han occupies the southeast corner, and I occupy one side. Going north is the direction of the Central Plains, and the defense is to defend the southwest corner. If you want to pass through this side, as long as you occupy Kuizhou, you will be able to guard its throat; Kuizhou is in hand, and the southwest is also in danger."

Zhang Ning thought it was right, and immediately praised: "I won Mr. Zhu, and I won a hundred thousand masters. I have learned a lot from this game of chess tonight. I think that losing Jianghuai is not the biggest loss for the King of Han, but losing Mr. Zhu It hurt my muscles."

Zhu Heng shook his head and sighed: "I'm just a literati. I can't charge forward in the front, and I can't make a living in the future. I only have a three-inch tongue. The king is heavy, and the light is cheap. That's all; when I was in Nanjing, I reminded Wuchang three times. , but being sniffed at by others, what's the use? Alas, pity the King of Han, who was misled by a bunch of idiots."

Zhang Ning didn't take this sentence seriously. In history, the King of Han hadn't caused any disturbances. If he hadn't influenced the trend subtly, he wouldn't even be able to occupy the southwest corner.

However, Zhu Heng is indeed a necessary talent. Unless he gets another senior counselor of a considerable standard, such a person must not be lacking; Zhang Ning has self-knowledge, advanced vision is not omnipotent, and a "systematic" contemporary insight is needed people... and most of these people have made a difference, and you can't just find them among ordinary people in the market. Fortunately, there is Zhu Heng.
