Xiang Yu's "Cross the rubicon: Battle of the Giant Deer"
Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established the Daqin Dynasty. Cruel exploitation and oppression of the people, heavy taxes, tyrannical criminal policies, miserable people. After Qin Ershi succeeded to the throne, instead of improving the situation, he exploited and maimed the people. As a result, Chen Sheng and Guangwu were oppressed and launched the Daze Township Uprising. Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang rallied in succession. The six countries wiped out by Qin are also waiting for the opportunity. There is a trend against Qin in the world.
The rulers of the Qin dynasty were unwilling to quit the historical stage, and they were still desperately suppressing the peasant rebels. Among them, Zhang Dan commanded the most elite troops. Zhang Dan led 400,000 troops to attack Zhao, won the first world war and retreated to Julu. Zhang Dan sent Wang Li and others to lead an army of 200,000 to surround the giant deer with iron drums. Then he led an army of 200,000 troops, stationed in the south of Julu for several miles to supply, trying to surround the prince of Zhao for a long time and wait for an opportunity to take the city.
The reinforcements of Yan and Qi have arrived, and they are all afraid of the forces. They are all stationed far away and dare not solve the siege of Julu.
Chu Huaiwang sent Yi Song as the main commander and Xiang Yu as the lieutenant, and organized 50,000 troops to help Zhao. When the Chu army arrived in Anyang, Yi Song ordered the troops to stop marching and stayed for 46 days. Xiang Yu couldn't help it any longer, advised to save Zhao quickly, and bluntly said that Zhao's death was a cold mouth. Yi Song not only refused to adopt it, but also taunted Xiang Yu face to face and ordered those who disobeyed orders to be beheaded.
Considering the seriousness of the situation, Xiang Yu rushed into the Song Yi Dazhai, beheaded Yi Song and represented Yi Song. Decided to attack the giant deer to solve the siege of Zhao.
Xiang Yu cut off the route for providing foodstuff in Qin Jun first, and then ordered to cross the river. Burn the camp, cross the rubicon, and each person only gets three days' rations to show his determination to fight to the death. During this period, he launched a continuous onslaught on Qin Jun, winning nine out of nine, and finally solved the siege of Julu.
The reason of Xiang Yu's success in "cross the rubicon";
1. Xiang Yu took a good look at Zhang Dan's tactical layout and cut off Qin Jun's subsequent supply. Due to lack of food and grass, Qin Jun's morale is unstable and low.
2. Xiang Yu has reinforcements, such as Qi Army and Yan Army. Although there was no first attack, after the capture of Xiang Yu, the Qi, Yan and Zhao armies in the Great Lucheng were all forces that could not be ignored.
The anti-Qin situation in the world is grim, and Xiang Yu was very popular in March. Other anti-Wang movements in succession, Liu Bang has entered Shanhaiguan, waiting for an opportunity to attack Xianyang and Qin Dou. The Qin Dynasty besieged Zhao with 400,000 troops, which was overloaded. The confrontation and resolution of other roads will bring great pressure to the departments in Zhang Dan.
4. Xiang Yu burned his bridges and took the lead in inspiring the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
During the Battle of Julu, the rebels were in an extremely harmonious state with good weather, good place and good people, and were influenced by many factors, such as Xiang Yu's extraordinary military outlook, being brave and good at fighting, and the severe anti-Qin situation in the world. It has achieved a classic example of winning more with less.
-On the other hand, the battle of street kiosks.
First of all, we must figure it out! Why is Masu's tactics a "cross the rubicon" type of play?
The most fundamental reason why Ma Su lost the street pavilion was that Zhuge Liang admitted that it was "against the light, and it was inappropriate to do so". How to understand this sentence? How did Ma Su violate Zhuge Liang's moral integrity?
From the overall analysis, you can know at a glance. During the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang made Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi suspect soldiers and went out of Xiegu Road to feint the area around UFO Peak County to attract Cao Zhen, commander-in-chief of Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang personally led the army and went out to take Longyou.
Results! Due to the neglect of prevention in Longyou area, Zhuge Liang unexpectedly won Nan 'an, Anding and Tianshui counties. Then lock the strategic target in Longxi county.
Cao Wei and Cao Rui ordered Liangzhou to attack Nan 'an and Guo Huai to attack Liucheng. At the same time, Zhang He led 50,000 troops, hoping to get through Jieting Pass and support Longyou area in one fell swoop.
Zhuge Liang gave Ma Su the task of stopping Zhang He and other departments and coordinating the main force to take the stronghold of Longxi. Once Longxi was successfully won, the four counties in Longyou were merged into one, and Zhang He's 50,000 troops dared not go further alone, and Ma Su's task was completed.
But how did Masu do it?
Rely on Nanshan resistance, not at the gate. -Quote, "Reflection on Zhang Hechuan"
Abandoning Shuigong Mountain is annoying, and even the rules are remonstrated, but it can't be used-reference, Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wang Ping.
From reflection, we can know. Masu voluntarily gave up the water source. After several times of persuasion by Wang Ping, he still insisted on giving up Shuishan. It's not that Masu neglected the water source. On the contrary, giving up water is part of his tactical layout.
Moreover, the mountain he chose is an isolated mountain.
Ma Su chose the lonely mountain because he wanted to be condescending and inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit. Abandoning the water source is "to be born after death". Under the premise of command, the morale of soldiers can be mobilized to the maximum extent.
Masu's move to abandon the water mountain is indeed a tactical layout of "burning the boat". It serves to show that he wants to fight to the death with Zhang He and decide the outcome in the fastest time.
His actions clearly violated Zhuge Liang's grand strategic layout. Zhuge Liang's strategic layout is that Nan 'an, Liucheng and Jieting are on the defensive to slow down the enemy's support for Longyou.
The grand strategic layout is to stall the enemy.
Ma Su must find Zhang He to do or die, and do it quickly.
-This is the most fundamental reason for Masu's failure.
It is precisely because of the conflict of grand strategic layout that Masu ignored the most crucial point-the Northern Expeditionary Army was only on the defensive.
Why did Xiang Yu's cross the rubicon succeed People brought three days' rations. And the somebody else is the attacker, can immediately into battle, three days of food is enough.
Masu is just a defender, waiting for others to attack, and the initiative is in the hands of the other side. As long as there is no attack in Zhang's encirclement, and there is no water, let alone three days, Ma Su's army will be exhausted in one day.
-Masu's tactical layout is doomed to defeat without a fight.
