The battle of Wu Chu Baiju, the swan song of the soldier Sun Wu sealing the gods and printing.
The continuous eastward expansion of Chu has made Wu feel a great threat. Wu is a natural enemy of Chu. Since ancient times, Wu has developed shipbuilding and metallurgy, and used bronze and iron for shipbuilding. Moreover, iron smelting is also developed. Wu Gou's name is well known all over the world, and Mo Xie, a famous general in ancient times, is the representative of Wu's weapons. With the participation of Wu Chen, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, the State of Wu burst into brilliant light. With the eastward expansion of Chu, all the small countries named Shu in Jianghuai area began to approach Wu. Around these small countries, Wu Chu began a contest.
in 584 BC, Wu Jun took advantage of the Chu army to send troops to the Central Plains to capture Zhoulai City, which is now Fengtai County, Anhui Province, which is a meeting point of the upper source tributaries of the Huaihe River. By capturing Zhoulai, he controlled the clock separation, and (now in the east of Linhuaiguan Town, Fengyang County, Anhui Province) allowed Wu to occupy an advantageous position in strategy and control the Huaihe River region. And let the central plains governors begin to face up to and accept Wu. In 575 BC, the battle between the Chu army and the Jin army in Yanling was defeated, and Wu captured four cities, namely, Chu Chao (now Chao County), Li (now Xilu Port of Wuhu) and Li (Wuwei County).
in 57 BC, the state of Chu attacked the state of Wu on a large scale, preparing to destroy the state of Wu in World War I, and dispatched 3 elite troops, with 3, trained as pioneers. Deng Liao, a fierce general, commanded the heart of the state of Wu. It is said that the special equipment of the state of Chu, which was made of alum water, was not enough to put on the Yangtze River. Being trained, also known as wearing training, is also a special armor for water warfare, second only to group A. Zhu Fan, the son of the State of Wu, Yu Ji and Yi Wei ambushed in Taihu Lake and defeated Wu Jun.
Wu Chu. Around the Huaihe River basin and Jiangbei continuous attack and counter-attack, from the battle of Zhoulai in 584 BC, in 69 years, wars continued, with ten large-scale attacks, six by Wu Quansheng, one by Chu Quansheng, and three wins and losses. These wars eventually led to the decisive war in Wu Chu, the Battle of Baiju.
The Battle of Baiju was a military action by Sun Wu, a master of the art of war, and Wu Zixu, a famous general, as his staff. The biggest geographical obstacle between Wu and Chu is the Dabie Mountain, Tongbai Mountain and many rivers. At that time, Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain were undeveloped virgin forests and it was difficult to pass. There are three passes between Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain. Zuo Zhuan called Ming 'e, Zhiyuan and Daxie Tunnel. This is the so-called three levels of Yiyang. Ming 'e, now called Pingjing Pass, is one of the world-famous nine blockades, but the Huai and Han armies fought for the key, and there is a saying that "the shape wins over Huainan and the key governs the Chu tail". Zhiyuan, now known as Wushengguan, is one of the top ten scenic spots in the world, which is the geographical dividing point between the north and the south of China. It is known as a treasure trove of military geomantic omen. The big tunnel, now called Wuyang Pass, is also called Huangxian Pass. These three passes are all at the junction of Henan and Hubei today, which was a path for exchanges between mountain people at that time, and it was difficult for the army to March in and out. The mountains along the way are rugged and thorny, which is basically a no-man's land.
There are many rivers, but Chu is located in the upper reaches. In Mo Zi, Lu Wen pian, the battle between Chu and Yue was discussed. In the past, the Chu people fought against the Yue people by boat, and the Chu people went downstream, but retreated against the current. If they saw the advantages, they would retreat. The more people advance against the current, the more they retreat, the more they advance when they see advantages, and the more they retreat when they see disadvantages. Therefore, if the Yue people gain momentum, they will defeat the Chu people. Although the water army of Wu is superior to the Chu army, it has no geographical advantage, and there are many undeveloped places on both sides of the river, and there are no roads for large troops to use, so the water army can only be used as a partial division, not as the main force.
Therefore, Wu wants to attack the capital of Chu, Ying, and there are four attack routes.
1. Use the water army to go upstream and go straight to Ying.
2. From Honglou (now Huoqiu County, Anhui Province) and Jifu (Gushi County, Henan Province) to Baiju (Macheng County, Hubei Province) and then to Yundu through the Hanshui River (Anlu County, Hubei Province).
3. Go up against the Huaihe River in the west, pass through Huangchuan (Henan Province) and Gushi (Henan Province) and pass through Yiyang Three Pass. To Sui (Suixian County, Hubei Province), cross the Hanshui River to reach Yingdu.
4. From the north bank of Huaihe River through the Great Wall of Chu, (Fangcheng, Henan) Lu (Nanyang, Henan) and then follow the Xiang River to cross the Hanshui River to reach Yingdu
The first road is basically impossible to attack against the current unless the Chu army is a fool. The fourth way, due to the needs of the war, the Chu army concentrated most of the border troops in the Shenlu area of Fangcheng. In the case of Wu Ruo, the Chu army took the initiative to fight the decisive battle in the concentrated areas of Chu army, as if to send it to the door to let the Chu army be earlier and earlier. There are only the second and third roads left. According to the actual situation, Wu started the preparations for this campaign.
Wu was the first country to implement the standing army system in the Spring and Autumn Period. The army was professional, and 3, people were selected throughout the country. Basically, they had to bring their own rations for three days under the condition of full armed, and they could guarantee a minimum March of 1 miles every day. First of all, we must train an army that strives for profits from a hundred miles. And in this army, Lux is selected as the pioneer of the former army who is prepared to be heavily armored, and those who are good at archery support the latter army, and the command of advancing and retreating, attacking and retreating is carried out by semaphore. Sharp tools make good work. This is Sun Wu's painstaking efforts in the state of Wu for five years, and he has trained an army that can cross the world.
At that time, all countries carried out wartime mobilization of militia. At the beginning of the war, they issued mobilization orders and assembled into troops. If there is no war, you are farmers, farming at home, and concentrated training during the slack season. Spring hunting is spoiled, summer hunting is seedlings, autumn hunting is fine, and winter hunting is hunting. Cooperate with military training and exercises in the course of training, seedling, nursing and hunting. With the increasing scale of the war in the late Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of thousands of war mobilization at a time is unbearable for all countries with agriculture as the mainstay. Wu did not join the army expansion, but began the policy of selecting soldiers under the auspices of Sun Wu. Wei Liaozi: "If there are hundreds of thousands of people who are unworthy of the world, who is called Huan Gong?". There are people who mention 7 thousand and the world is incompetent, who says Wuqi is also. There are people who mention 3 thousand and the world is incompetent, who calls Wu Zi also. This army is in the hands of Sun Wu, and the world is big. Where can we not go?
Wu had a good soldier who could run the world, and then he began to make strategic preparations for Chu. So Wu Zixu began the strategy of three-point exhaustion of Chu, and Wu Zixu said that Chu was in power and obedient, so it was not appropriate to suffer. If you are a teacher for three divisions, you will be out when one division arrives; If you go out, you will return, and if you return, you will go out. I am eager to stop it, and I am mistaken in many ways. If we stop, and then follow it with the three armies, we will be able to overcome it. This is a strategic replica of the exhausted Chu state with three-thirds and four armies in the state of Jin, and it is also a guerrilla strategic evolution that paralyzes the enemy. Because Chu is big and Wu is small, Wu's empty expedition must prevent the neighboring countries from taking advantage of the virtual attack, and this three-point exhaustion of Chu just relieves these threats.
in December 512 BC, Wu Jun went north with one third of his troops to wipe out Zhong Wu, the younger brother of Chu, and flooded Xu. The Chu army Sima Shen Yinxu came to the rescue, and Wu Jun retreated, so the State of Chu had to resettle the remnants of Xu in Yi (Anhui Hao County) and put the candles and masks of Wu in Yang (Taihe County) (these two were the losers of the royal family of Wu). Unexpectedly, Wu Jun attacked Yi (milli county) with one third of the army. When Chu army went to rescue, it avoided Chu army and took Chu Guo's Zhuo (Huoshan, Anhui) and Liu (Lu 'an county) south. Shen Yinxu had to come to Li's rescue, and Wu Jun retreated, but with an attack string (Guangshan, Henan), Shen Yinxu had to save the string again. Wu Jun attacked Yang (Taihe) and killed Zhu Yong and Yan Yu. Sima Shen Yinxu, the Chu army, went crazy, and let Wu Jun turn around by the nose for almost two years. Finally, Zhong Wu and Xu Guo were destroyed, and Zhu Yong and Yan Yu were killed, even Wu Jun's face could not be seen.
in 51 BC, the state of Wu sent troops across the country and defeated the Vietnamese army to ensure the safety of the rear. In 58 BC, the State of Chu belonged to Tongguo (Tongcheng, south of Shucheng, Anhui) and sentenced Chu to Wu. Zi Chang, the prime minister of Chu (Ling Yin), led the water army to attack Wu. Sun Wu led the army to attack Tong. Sun Wu ambushed Gong Fan in Shuji (Shucheng, Anhui Province), and then attacked Zi Chang's water army with the boat of Tong people. All the boats of Chu's water army were seized, and Gong Fan was captured. After this war, all the east of Dabie Mountain was owned by Wu. At that time, the time was ripe for World War I with Chu.
in 56 BC, Cai Guo (Shangcai, Henan) and Tang Guo (Suizhou, Hubei) in the northeast of Chu were insulted because the prime minister of Chu often asked for bribes, and asked Wu for help. He Lv, the prince of Wu, agreed and began to attack Chu. Wu Jun thirty thousand, pour out. Sun Wu is the general, Wu Zixu and Bo Ai are the deputy, and Gongzi Mountain is the pioneer. He Lv, the younger brother of the prince of Wu, wanted to be a pioneer, but the prince didn't agree. He led his subordinate troops with 5 people (this husband was a troublemaker in the battle of Baiju).
Wu Jun plan is divided into north and south, with He Lv, the king of Wu, as the main force in the south, starting from Qian (northeast of Huoshan County, Anhui Province), crossing Yuzhang area at the junction of Anhui and Hubei today, passing through Moss Pass and Songzi Pass, and maneuvering in Baiju (Baizishan, Jushui area). North Road, led by Sun Wu, is an elite special force, making great fanfare to save Cai and mobilize the Chu army.
In 56 BC, Sun Wu led the Northern Route Army to advance toward Cai. The prime minister of Chu often feared that the Chu army was weak, so he retreated to the west and prepared to join the Chu army in Fangcheng Shendi led by Shen Yinxu, but Wu Jun landed in Zhoulai (Fengtai, Anhui) and marched to the southwest of Chu. Easily occupy Wusheng Pass, Pingjing Pass and Wuyang Pass. Entering the hinterland of Chu, the front of the soldiers approached the capital of Ying.
after hearing the news, the prime minister of Chu often rushed to Yingdu like crazy, and set up a defense line on the west bank of Hanshui River, ready to stop Wu Jun's attack. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the daily March was no more than 3 li. After Wu Jun's operation, the Chu army who arrived at the west bank of the Hanshui River did not dare to cross the river to fight, and after an urgent March, the army attrition was also very serious. The Prime Minister often discussed with Sima Shenyin Xu, who was stationed on the west bank of Hanshui River, and Sima Shenyin Xu headed for Fangcheng, picking up the Chu troops left behind along the way, joining the Chu border guards in Fangcheng, attacking the state, burning the ships of Wu, and then taking the three passes of Wusheng Pass, Pingjing Pass and Wuyang Pass along the route of Wu Jun's attack, cutting off Wu Jun's return and encircling Wu Jun in Han.
Scholars of all ages were full of passion for this plan and thought it was a perfect one. In fact, there is only one possibility for this scheme to succeed, that is, Wu Jun will play poker every day on the east bank of Hanshui River, and fight the landlord for nothing for a month. This is a fantasy plan. The west bank of Hanshui River is about 4 kilometers away from Fangcheng, and Fangcheng is about 5 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Guangzhou comes to Wushengguan, Pingjing Pass and Wuyangguan for about 4 kilometers, and then advances for 3 kilometers to attack Wu Jun. What a grand plan, even the modern American army is difficult to implement, which can be said to be a nonsense battle plan. There is only obscenity in the novel when you are surrounded by thousands of miles. In the ever-changing battlefield, you will only harm others and yourself.
Sima Shen Yinxu left with his wishful thinking, but the battlefield has changed. Wu Jun is on the east bank of the Hanshui River. Because there are few people, he can't take care of both the left and right sides, so he moves south. This is aboveboard, ChuJun after a period of dressing, mobilized troops from all over the country, and after a period of time, also see the number of Wu Jun. Now ChuJun probably has concentrated to thousands, and the opposite Wu Jun is estimated to be only ten thousand. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and for a commander-in-chief who often fights, the prime minister is often very clear. If Wu Jun is allowed to retreat safely, firstly, ten times as many people dare not fight. It is estimated that future children and grandchildren will lift their heads, and they are all men without eggs. Second, converging with Sima Shen Yinxu is a big joke. Third, Wu Jun is moving southward, getting farther and farther away from Wushengguan, Pingjingguan and Wuyangguan, and entering the triangle of Hanshui River, Jiangshui River and Qingfa Water, which is the best time to panic in. No matter from which aspect, we should cross the river to pursue.
So there is a record in Zuo Zhuan, and the black prophet in Wucheng often says that it is better to fight quickly. Shi Huang said Zi Chang: Chu people are evil and good at Sima. If Sima destroys Wu Zhou in Huai River and blocks the entrance of the city, it is the only way to defeat Wu. The child will fight quickly, otherwise it will be inevitable.
if the fish doesn't take the bait, it's because you haven't given enough temptation. This record is confusing and extremely unreasonable. Because the fighter plane that all fools know appeared, there was a black martial city. The Emperor Shi often advised the commander-in-chief to March, which was a godsend chance to make contributions. But after crossing the river, can the Chu army really win a great victory?
In the records of ancient China literati, only Sajima Shen Yinshu was a wise man, while other commanders, Zi Chang, doctor Wu Chenghei and doctor Shi Huang were all fools. This is an annoying place for China literati. Now we can only imagine the scene from historical events. Wu Jun revealed a fatal flaw, and the commander-in-chief often understood that the doctor Wu Cheng was black, and the doctor Shi Huang also understood that as a battle-hardened general, the front-line generals saw this flaw. If Sajima Shen Yin was on the scene, he would definitely agree to cross the river, while the doctor Wu Cheng was black, and the doctor Shi Huang was one of them.
Once the pursuit of crossing the river begins, the commander-in-chief often has to face how to outflank and encircle the Wu Jun. However, the Wu Jun moves too fast, and often breaks out when the flank encirclement is just about to take shape. It is extremely dangerous and embarrassing to cross the Qingshui River and cross the river to move around the Dabie Mountain along the river bank. Zuo Zhuan's record is to help the Han Dynasty and make a difference from childhood. Obviously, Wu Jun first moved south along the Hanshui River, and then moved east to Xiaobie (now northeast of Hanchuan, Hubei). The consequence of this movement is that the main force of Wu Jun is getting farther and farther away from the original supporting points of Dahongshan, Tangguo and Sanguan. There is a big gap in the direction of its retreat. If the Chu army is inserted in this direction, there is the possibility of cutting off Wu Jun's retreat and oppressing Wu Jun in the Hanshui, Jiangshui and Qingfashui areas. This means that if you move like this, the battlefield situation will be extremely unfavorable to Wu Jun, and Wu Jun's right wing will be exposed and the rear road will be cut off. This is a dangerous and exciting game. In this chasing game, Sun Wu defeated the flanking troops three times, and won the victory that did not affect the overall situation in the eyes of the Chu army. The chasing continued. Wu Jun led by Sun Wu, like a matador, led the mad cow of the Chu army into the scheduled battlefield, Baiju area.
Once in Baiju area, the army of the State of Wu, led by He Lv, the king of Wu, quietly looked at the grand meal that was automatically delivered to the door. That's why there is a strange record in Zuo Zhuan. The commander-in-chief Zi Chang, who pursued victory, abnormally wanted to escape alone. Zuo Zhuan recorded that Zi often knew what he could not do and wanted to run. The Emperor of History said, "Seek what you want, but run away when it is difficult. Where will you go?"? The son will die, and the first sin will be done. Everyone knows that ChuJun must be finished, ChuJun up and down all understand, Wu Jun also understand. Understand that ChuJun fell into the trap that Wu Jun had designed. That's why the commander-in-chief often leaves the army and runs away.
At this time, Fu almost, a shit-churning stick with a bad eating habit, came out to spoil the game. How to arrange a perfect final battle? Under the condition that Wu Jun was not fully prepared, Fu almost saw the opportunity of meritorious service and well-documented the prince of Wu. No, so he led his 5 subordinate private soldiers to attack the Chu army. The Chu army was already so frightened that it was on the verge of collapse. Husband adamant4 to catch up, the prince didn't do a look.
