Chang Qingjun Introduction: History is the present at that time, the past, and the past and the future; history has various functions such as correcting clothes, knowing rise and fall, and understanding gains and losses; history is worth re-reviewing and recalling.
"Historical Story - Once That's So" Series 3:
Warring States Period , Qin State sent troops to attack Yiyang City in South Korea, Zhou Dynasty king Zhou Nan (nǎn) said to minister Zhao Lei: "What will happen to the outcome of this war?" Zhao Lei replied: "Yiyang will definitely be captured by the Qin army."
Zhou Nan King did not agree with this. The reason he refuted was: "Although Yiyang City only has a radius of 8 miles, it has a 100,000 elite. The city has strong soldiers and the food in the city is enough to support it for several years; and there is also a 200,000 army near Yiyang, the Korean Prime Minister Zhong, and there is also a Chu army led by Chu general Jing Cui . He set up camp on the mountains near Yiyang and prepared to rescue, so the Qin army would definitely not be able to capture Yiyang City."
Zhao Lei continued to explain: "The Qin general who attacked Yiyang Gan Mao was originally a Chu country. After joining King Wu of Qin, he was appointed to reuse as the left prime minister. If he led the Qin army to attack Yiyang this time, he would definitely be promoted and reused by King Wu of Qin, and could even become like Western Zhou 's founding father Zhou Gongdan . But if he cannot attack Yiyang this time, he will be dismissed from his official position by King Wu of Qin and lose a great opportunity. Besides, King Wu of Qin insisted on sending troops to attack Yiyang despite the opposition of his ministers. If Yiyang cannot capture him, King Wu of Qin would also be a great shame. Based on the comprehensive judgment of these situations, I think Qin army will fight with all their strength until the city of Yiyang in South Korea will not give up."
After listening to the analysis of the battle situation by minister Zhao Lei, King Nan of Zhou suddenly woke up and said, "Then please plan for me, how should we deal with this situation?"
Zhao Lei then made a plan and said, "Please say to Chu general Jing Cui: 'Your title is already at the level of Zhigui, and your official position has reached the level of Pillar Kingdom . Even if you win a battle, no matter your title or official position, it is impossible to rise again. However, once you cannot win, you will be executed if you lose. It is better to wait and wait for the Qin army to fight hard with the Han army for a long time, and then lead the Chu army to rescue Han. At that time, as long as you send troops, Qin will be afraid that you will attack it when the Qin army is tired, and you will definitely take out the city to you. South Korea will also thank you for your rescue, and will definitely offer treasures to you.'"
King Nan of Zhou acts according to the plan. After the Qin army captured Yiyang, the Chu general Jing Cui listened to the advice of King Nan of Zhou to send troops to attack Qin. Qin was indeed panicked and quickly presented the city of boiled dates to Chu. South Korea also gave Jing Cui a rare treasure. Jing Cui did not suffer any casualties, one soldier or another. Not only did he get the Qin Dynasty's Zhuzao City, but he also got the treasure of South Korea, so he was very grateful to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for his kindness.
This historical story is recorded in the book " Warring States Policy ".
In Chang Qingjun's view, the Zhou Dynasty adviser Zhao Lei's plan was really clever:
1. In terms of subjective human nature, he deeply analyzed the situation and mentality of Qin general Gan Mao who lived in Qin and wanted to seek a high position, as well as the situation and mentality of King Wu of Qin and Jing Cui of Chu;
2. In terms of objective situation, he correctly judged the military strength and political direction of Qin, South Korea and Chu.
Just imagine if the Chu general Jing Cui rashly sent troops to rescue him when Qin general Gan Mao led his army to attack Yiyang. On the one hand, the Qin army was in full swing and was not damaged, and he would definitely fight the Han army and Chu army to the death. In addition, both Qin general Gan Mao and Qin Wu King would not hesitate to raise troops from all over the country and continuously reinforce to fight this battle. It is really hard to say who will win.
Once the Qin general Yiyang attacked, for Qin general Gan Mao, high success was expected; for Qin Wu King, if face was saved, we could explain to the ministers. In addition, after the long-term battle between the Qin army and the Han army, after a long battle in Yiyang (the Qin army did not attack Yiyang until the second year after the war started), there were already heavy casualties and exhaustion, and could not stand the battle with the Chu army, whose military strength was above the Korean army in a short time.
This is really a killing of multiple goals.
Chang Qingjun said: takes a unique approach to come up with strategies, and it is a clever plan to achieve multiple goals in one fell swoop.
