Chapter 1406

There is no simple person who can become a great emperor.

The same is true for Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was young, he showed extraordinary abilities.

When he was young, Cao Cao was smart and alert, with the ability to adapt to changes. He was also willful and bohemian. He did not cultivate moral character or study academically. Therefore, people at the time did not think he had any special talents. Only Qiao Xuan and Nanyang of Liang State He Yong of Nanyang thought that he was extraordinary. Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao:"The world is about to be in chaos, and it cannot be saved except by the talents of the world. Who can bring peace to peace belongs to you?"

He Yong of Nanyang said to him:"The Han Dynasty is about to perish. He must be the one who can bring peace to the world!"

Xu Shao of Nanyang was famous for his knowledge of people. He once said to Cao Cao:"You are a traitor in peace, but you are a hero in troubled times."

Cao Cao showed his interest and talent in martial arts in his early years. He was well-read and especially fond of the art of war. He copied the strategies and strategies of various ancient schools of war, and his work"Wei Wu Zhu Sunzi" which annotated"The Art of War" has been handed down to the world.

These laid a solid foundation for his later military career.

Lu Yan is also a military strategist.

Although not particularly qualified.

But all the battles he fought personally were victorious.

Not only that, Lu Yan is also very far-sighted.

Supporting Chen Ping's economic war directly caused the collapse of the Yu State.

In addition, assassins were sent to the Song Dynasty, including Concubine Yan, Jing Salamander, Madam Mingzhu, Liusha Organization, his senior brothers Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

Now the Song Dynasty is leaderless and in chaos.

Although Wei Zheng tried his best to control it, he was unable to save it.

Many people didn't take him seriously at all.

Wei Zhuang and others are also secretly controlling some people.

Mrs. Mingzhu chose Jia Sidao.

Wei Zhuang secretly controls Xue Andu.

In addition, Concubine Yan also has a candidate.

Concubine Yan helped Jing Salad take revenge, and now Jing Salad is by Concubine Yan's side.

But Li Bai was relaxed and was always by Du Fu's side.

I met many literati and talented people with Du Fu.

There are many outstanding people among them.

Nowadays, many people have begun to"choose the right tree to roost in".

Start thinking about options.

There are also people who plan to retreat to the mountains and forests

······

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Yan is a military strategist.

Really take a long-term view.

Cao Cao's military achievements were no worse than Lu Yan's.

First of all, Cao Cao was proficient in the art of war and played an active role in unifying the north. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Eastern Han Dynasty disintegrated and warlords fought.

In the melee, not only Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and other Liangzhou warlords slaughtered people and looted property everywhere, but there was also a desolate scene in which"the people eat each other and the state is depressed".

From the second year of Chuping to the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao successively eliminated all the separatist forces north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and unified most of the northern region.

Cao Cao's war to unify the north lasted for 17 years. It was the founding battle of Cao Wei and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent unification of the Western Jin Dynasty.

In addition, Cao Cao studied the art of war and had profound military theories. He had read the works of previous military strategists such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi. On the basis of studying the art of war of various schools, he wrote the book"The Art of War" and combined it with his own war experience. Discourse.

In this regard, Lu Yan couldn't compare.

"A Brief Commentary on Sun Tzu" written by Cao Cao was the first to compile and annotate the thirteen chapters of"Sun Tzu".

He advocated the war concept of"fighting with righteousness", emphasizing that it is morally responsible for the division's reputation. In terms of strategy and tactics, he is flexible and changeable. He can devise surprises according to circumstances and win according to the situation. His soldiers are not tired of deceit.

In terms of military use, history said that he"camped and used troops, much more in line with Sun Wu's method, and he devised surprises according to circumstances to deceive the enemy and defeat them, and his changes were like a god. He wrote more than 100,000 words of military books by himself, and all generals used new books to prepare for conquests. Also, the hands are the measure of control, those who follow orders will gain victory, and those who disobey will be defeated." In a series of battles against Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Ma Chao, Han Sui, etc., tactics such as pretending to attack in the east and attacking in the west, avoiding the real situation and taking advantage of the weak, ambush, outflank, surprise attack, alienation, robbery of food, attacking each other to save others, and abandoning objects to lure the enemy were commonly used. Trick the enemy to win and turn weakness into strength.

Li Jing's"Questions with Duke Li Wei" and"Dr. He's Preparation" by He Qufei all praised Cao Cao's march and use of troops.

At this point, Lu Yan was convinced.

In terms of leading troops, he ran the army in an orderly manner and had strict laws. Once during the march, Cao Cao issued an order not to let the war horses trample the wheat fields. Anyone who violated the rules would be beheaded. The soldiers all dismounted and walked for fear of trampling on the wheat seedlings. But Cao Cao's horse was frightened and trampled the wheat field. He immediately drew his sword and cut off a piece of his hair as a punishment, which showed that he was serious about enforcing the law."Wei Wu Military Order" included in"Tongdian·Bingdian"》、《Wei Wuchuan Battle Order》、《Wei Wubu Battle Order" and so on also reflect his strict military orders.

Regarding this point, Lu Yan also followed suit.

The last thing is to cherish the generals.

In terms of imperial generals, Cao Cao was out of the ban, Le Jin was in the procession, and he took Zhang Liao and Xu Huang among the captives. They all served orders and performed meritorious service, and were listed as famous generals. Cao Cao was able to use the strengths of his generals based on their characteristics.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei were strong in military strength and loyal to the law, so Cao Cao asked them to serve as the vanguard of the army in battle and to lead the troops when in retreat. Zang Ba had favors and trust in the east, so Cao Cao entrusted Qing and Xu states to him, so that he could concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao. There is no need to think about the East; the surrendered general Wen Pin was originally a general under Liu Biao and was quite popular in the Jianghan area. Cao Cao appointed him as the prefect of Jiangxia and entrusted him with border affairs to protect Sun Quan.

In this regard, Lu Yan is confident that he is better than Cao Cao.

Because he has an eye for insight.
