? "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is also praised as a military classic in today's world. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" should have been written by Sun Bin Jin and Gui Guzi. There is even a legend that it all comes from Guiguzi.

As Sun Tzu's master, Gui Guzi's level of military skills is of course even more unpredictable.

"Guiguzi" also contains thirteen chapters on the art of war.

First: Vertical and horizontal control is the first of all things, and it is the gateway for square strategy, round strategy, and entry and exit. To govern the world, bring peace to the people, and unify the world, war is not a good strategy. The best policy is to use force and avoid fighting, to talk to each other and kill troops, to subdue others without fighting, and to stop fighting by fighting. The best strategy in this battle!

Second: The most important thing in military affairs is to know yourself and the enemy. To have a plan for victory, you must review the situation and determine the basis. To grasp the enemy's Sui Dynasty, we must be quick and complete, and expose to the enemy less and slowly. Conspiracy and conspiracy, conspiracy and conspiracy, square strategy and round strategy, round strategy and square strategy must be used alternately, and we must not stick to one end. The army has no fixed strategy, and the strategy has no definite shape, leaving no opportunity for people to take advantage of. This is "ghost talent".

Third: The affairs between the king and his ministers may be close or distant, far or near. If the king and his ministers miss each other when they hear voices from afar, it is because they have the same strategy and are waiting for him to decide on important matters. In this case, if you want to use him more seriously, the general will serve and make achievements. If he is not appointed and his strategies are not in sync, then it is best to disarm and return to his field.

Fourth: It is natural to separate and combine. Revenge for loss of life, revenge for death, and resource allocation issues were instigated by others.

? Fifth: Whenever you want to decide whether to conquer far or near, you must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of strength. We must consider the financial resources, diplomacy, environment, and superior and subordinate relationships of both the enemy and ourselves, and those with hidden dangers can be conquered. The best way to conquer is to rely on strength to intimidate. Strength deterrence is still applicable to this day!

Sixth: Countries may unite or confront each other. To achieve great things, they need to have a comprehensive strategy and be able to bring all the princes together. A man who is not a sage and wise man cannot command the country through deep wisdom. A man without wisdom cannot command the military.

Seventh: If you want to plan national events, you must be able to guess what other countries are thinking. If you can't guess, even if you have the way of the ancestors and the wisdom of the sage, it will be useless.

? Eighth: Preside over military training so that the army can win battles without the soldiers feeling fear, so that the army can often win without using weapons or spending money or materials. This is considered " God”. To achieve this, the key lies in strategy, and the key to the success of the strategy lies in thoroughness. The so-called plan and then act!

? Ninth: Those who are good at striving for hegemony must weigh the power of all parties in the world and measure the land, population, wealth, topography, strategy, unity, diplomacy, weather, talents, people's hearts and other national affairs of each country. Then big decisions can be made.

Tenth: Every military strategy has certain rules. Everything is about planning, making a living, planning for life, talking about life, talking about the advancement of life, the advancement of life and retreat, and the system of retreat. For the purpose of strategy, public is not as good as private, private is not as good as law, justice is not as good as strange, and the flow of strange things does not stop.

Eleventh: All decisions are made because of doubts. Under normal circumstances, decisions can be made through analysis. As for major military affairs, all aspects are very complex and difficult to make a decision. You can use divination to make a decision.

Twelve: When using soldiers and generals, rewards and punishments must be strict. The most important thing in rewards and punishments is fairness. Only by being strict in rewards and punishments can you be victorious.

Thirteenth: It is human nature to want things done. A wise man does not use his clumsy aspects, but rather uses what a fool is good at.

These thirteen articles on the Art of War complement each other with "The Art of War" written by Gui Guzi's disciple Sun Bin. "Guiguzi" focuses on overall strategy, while "Sun Tzu's Art of War" focuses on specific techniques. The two complement each other.

It can be said that everything about Sun Bin and Pang Juan came from their master Gui Guzi, and they only understood one or two of them. Guiguzi's level is unparalleled, but it's a pity that he can't go to the chaotic Warring States era in person to show off his skills.

Although Sun Tzu and others had earth-shattering military skills, they failed to achieve astonishing results due to their neglect of strategic strategies and the environment.

It can be seen that any good strategy must first grasp the general direction.

Conquer the enemy without fighting, and win without fighting!

Unfortunately, this method passed down from our ancestors has long become the common wisdom of mankind. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is a must-read at West Point Military Academy. Everyone knows the above principles.

The struggle between East and West is not limited to one aspect, but should be a comprehensive competition. At the same time, we must be wary of significant differences and backwardness in one part of the country, which may lead to the failure of the overall situation.

During the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, the economic aggregate was still the largest in the world. She also tried her best to learn from modern Western science and technology, introduce weapons, and cultivate talents... Unfortunately, it was too late.

Here, I can’t help but cry out for Cixi, Li Hongzhang and others! Although it was not possible to save the building from falling, and there were still many limitations, it was admirable to be able to spare no effort in doing so!

It can be said that they are also a generation of people who are working hard for the rise of China!

Going back to Guiguzi more than 2,000 years ago, he also taught people how to get rich. It talked about some breeding methods, trading principles, and "get what you want." "Take it first", saying that "if the world is irreversible, then we should hide deeply and wait for the time". This method was passed down from Guiguzi to Ji Ran, Lu Buwei, Bai Gui and others.

In the end, Lu Buwei not only made great achievements in business, but also became the world's earliest venture capital. He successfully invested in Ying Gongzizheng! With his help, Ying Zheng finally unified the world and became the First Emperor!

? Guiguzi also wrote "The Dafa of Cultivation of Nature", which mainly talks about "Seven Arts of Yin Fu in the Classic", saying that the prosperity of the spirit depends on the five qi, the spirit is the growth, and the heart is the art. The five qi depend on spiritual factors such as ambition, thinking, spirit, and virtue. Only when these four are not in decline can one become a true person by being calm and nourishing his energy. Gui Guzi passed this secret on to Mao Wei and Xu Fu, and later on to Tao Hongjing and others.

? And the fortune-telling and physiognomy technique, which talks about the Tianwu Sutra; fate, facial appearance, and life's misfortunes and blessings, this method was also passed on to Mao Kuang by Gui Guzi, and later to Sima Jizhu, Li Xuzhong and others. Almost all the later numerology and physiognomy originated from this.

As for the great masters of the "Book of Changes", Guiguzi is called the second, and no one dares to be called the first. Sun Tzu and Pang Juan haven't left the mountain yet, Gui Guzi has figured out their experiences, entanglements and fate!

All of these are not accomplished at the same time.

Li Chunfeng, who has spent thousands of years in China, naturally also learned from this.

Having said this, do you still think that Guiguzi is just an ordinary mortal?

Of course I don't.

However, I think it can’t be done without time travel or divine instruction!
