Thirty-six strategies are divided into six sets, namely, winning strategy, enemy strategy, attacking strategy, melee strategy, merging strategy and losing strategy, which are used in different situations respectively. The last plan "go first" is a strategy in the defeated plan, which is used in the case of defeat or absolute disadvantage.
Pursuing the best:
The whole division avoided the enemy. Left times without blame, not abnormal.
Translation:
The whole army retreated to avoid the powerful enemy. There is nothing wrong with this orderly retreat, nor does it violate the normal principle of using troops. This is the "left times without blame and chaos" in the Book of Changes. Honestly.
"Go first" is a tactic to retreat and escape, but it is by no means a passive escape. Instead, take the initiative to retreat after thinking about chess, find or create opportunities for future attacks, and retreat to advance.
Tasteless "chicken ribs"
In 2 15, after Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui, he easily won Hanzhong. In 2 17, Liu Bei, who obtained the land of Shu, went north to Hanzhong. In 2 19, Cao Cao's general Xia was killed by Huang Zhong, and Hanzhong fell.
In a rage, Cao Cao led an army to retake Hanzhong, only to be stopped by Liu Bei at Yangpingguan, and the army was entangled in death and could not move forward. One night, when Cao Cao was sitting in the camp worrying about this matter, the chef sent a bowl of chicken soup and saw a chicken rib in the bowl. Cao Cao mused, "chicken ribs! Chicken ribs! It is a pity to eat tasteless and abandon it. " At this time, Xia Houdun just entered the account and asked the slogan of the night army. Cao Cao casually said, "Chicken ribs, chicken ribs." Soon, this slogan spread all over the army.
Yang Xiu, the master of this slogan, immediately ordered his entourage to pack up. Seeing this situation, Xia Houdun asked why. Yang Xiu said, "Give the order tonight, and in a few days, Wang Wei will retreat, and the chicken ribs will be eaten without meat. If you can't win today, it's no use returning it, for fear of being laughed at. It's better to return early: Wang Wei will transfer troops tomorrow. So pack your bags first, so as not to panic when you leave. " Hearing this, the soldiers in the army packed their bags and prepared to retreat. Later, Cao Cao executed Yang Xiu in the name of disturbing the morale of the army. Although Yang Xiu was executed, what Yang Xiu said was exactly what Cao Cao said. A few days later, Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal.
Under the unfavorable situation of insufficient food and grass, it is absolutely wise for Cao Cao to retreat. Not only will it not make itself passive, but it will also not lead to complete failure in the end. Preserving strength is the best policy.
A dead rabbit cooked a patriotic minister and then ran back to Tao Zhugong.
"Walking is the best" is not just a simple escape, users must know how to run and when to run, which greatly tests the wisdom of plan users.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, led an army to attack the State of Wu. As a result, he was defeated and died, and he was imprisoned in the State of Wu. In the end, Gou Jian finally defeated Fu Cha, the king of Wu, revived Yue State and became the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the process of rejuvenating the country, the greatest contribution is style and fan Li. Fan Li, who has followed Gou Jian for many years, knows that he is also a human being, and can be involved with * *, but not with happiness. Shortly after the restoration of the country, he chose to retire and went to the state of Qi to die. Because of his good business skills, he became the richest man in the world, calling himself Tao Zhugong.
The fate of literary schools is quite different from that of Fan Li. When Fan Li retired, he wrote to persuade Wen Zi to leave the King of Yue: "A high bird is scattered, a good bow hides, a cunning rabbit is exhausted, and a running dog cooks", but he did not listen to Fan Li's advice. Soon, Gou Jian, who listened to the rumor, gave a sword named "On Zhu" and said, "At the beginning, you gave me nine strategies to deal with Wu. Now I have defeated Wu with only three, and the remaining six have not been used in your position. Now you can use these six strategies to go underground and defeat the former king of Wu for my former king! " So Wen Zi killed himself with a sword.
Under the unfavorable situation of disparity between the enemy and ourselves, we should seize the opportunity to retreat voluntarily, avoid strong enemies, look for opportunities, and make progress by retreating. This plan can save strength so as to make a comeback and survive at worst. It's definitely the best strategy.
