When it comes to the history of war in ancient China, it can be talked about eloquently. Because the history of Chinese war is a living textbook of the art of war. But when it comes to war, the most eye-catching thing must be the strategy and wisdom. Historical war researchers are eager to break these war cases to one by one carefully study some, in order to find out some experience. However, this is one aspect, there is another aspect that is worth studying and remembering, that is, some of the stupid maneuvers on the ancient battlefields are breathless and even a little bit hilarious.
So what is a pure operation? The first thing you need to know is that you have a good situation and a superior force, and you are in a position to lose the war because of the purely incomprehensible operations that you made because of your own momentary confusion. It can be said that these are typical cases of letting go of a cooked duck for nothing.
The first of these was the Battle of Chang'an, which took place during the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty. It was in the waxing moon of 755 AD, when the Anshi Rebellion suddenly erupted like a flood, and the rebels and bandits swept all the way to Luoyang and Chang'an in less than half a year. As a result, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji had to change into the emperor's clothes, leading the ministers to run to Sichuan. Tang Suzong was also forced to take the throne in Lingwu, it is in this life and death situation, but a strategist said in fact is not too bad.
The Tang Emperor counterattacked according to his plan, and within a few months, there were many reports of successes, and he saw a great situation, but he let the victory overwhelmed his mind, and did not have a foot to hit Fanyang, but directly attacked Chang'an. Not correctly recognize the situation and the strength of the two sides hastily attack, the final result is naturally the result of the failure.
