Chapter 29 The Fifteenth Tactic: Tune the Tiger from the Mountain

Wait for the sky to be sleepy, employ people to lure them, and go back and forth. Wait for the natural conditions to besiege the enemy when it is unfavorable, and use artificial illusions to deceive it. If it is dangerous to attack forward, then find a way to make the enemy come back and attack me. A strong enemy occupying a geographical advantage is equivalent to strengthening the strong.Just like the tiger, the king of beasts, occupying the mountains, it can run amok, and it is more advantageous to destroy the enemy after losing the terrain. Just like a tiger falling on the plains, it can be bullied by dogs. Therefore, facing a strong enemy occupying favorable terrain, When the strong attack is unfavorable, we should lure and mobilize the enemy to escape from good conditions, and then destroy it.

Adjusting the tiger away from the mountain is a strategy to mobilize the enemy. Under normal circumstances, "tiger" refers to a strong enemy, and "mountain" refers to the terrain conditions occupied by the enemy. Terrain, as far as I am concerned, there are countless examples of eliminating it. This strategy has also been successfully used by many people in various fields of social life such as politics, diplomacy, and economy. Want the tiger to "leave the mountain". "Tune" must be done ingeniously and flexibly, concealing the truth and showing the false, so as to let the "tiger" leave the mountain, but not make the false come true, and let the "tiger" bite back.

In 719 B.C., the kingdoms were separated and the vassals stood everywhere. Zhouxu, the younger brother of the king of Wei, stabbed his elder brother to death and usurped the throne. It fell into the hands of these two rebels.Zhou and Shi's rebellious behavior quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the government and the public. Frightened by the rebellious power of the rebels, most people dared not speak out. Resentment, especially when I heard that Zhou Yu named his son Shi Hou as a senior doctor, he was very angry. He cursed Shi Hou as an unworthy son. Both Shi and Shi held high positions and held real power. They were old and weak, and had already lived in seclusion. Hou: "You have power over the government, what do you ask us useless veterans to do?" Shi Hou pretended to be secretive and said: "The king summoned you to study the stability of the throne." Come to think of it, I thought, maybe this is an opportunity to get rid of the traitor.On the surface, he still looked disapproving and said: "Is the new king very courageous and knowledgeable? We don't have any plans to protect the king, but we are just a rotten tree." Shi Hou hurriedly said: "For the sake of my son, You'd better go." Only then did Shi Wa put on her crown and got up to enter the court.

After entering the palace, Zhou Yu said to Paraffin very politely: "I have just become the king, what method do you think we can use to secure the throne?" "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. People say that if the name is upright, the speech will be compliant, and if the name is not correct, the speech will not be compliant. From the point of view of the minister, the monarch should first go to the king of Zhou to be granted a title. In this way, the court can serve the civil and military affairs of the court, and the common people can be served at the bottom. Human." The paraffin drew Zhou Yu into a trap of his own design.

"This plan is very good, but without the summoning of the King of Zhou, entering the court without a reason, it is inevitable that the King of Zhou will be suspicious. Who can inform me first?" "This matter is easy to handle. The king of Zhou is very fond of Chen Henggong, the king of the state of Chen. If the new king can go to the state of Chen in person and ask Chen Huan to say something nice in front of the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou will definitely recognize the new king and give me a seal." "What the old doctor said is very true. I will go to Chen Country with Shi Hou."

Zhou Xu obeyed Paraffin's "ingenious plan" and happily took Shi Hou to Chen Guo through the back door. As soon as Zhou and Shi left, Paraffin hurriedly cut his finger, wrote an "urgent" letter with blood, and dispatched his confidants to Chen Guo, and handed it to his good friend, Mr. Chen Guo. Needle, and entrusted him to submit to Chen Huangong, the letter is written as follows: Foreign Minister Paraffin Baibai wrote to His Highness Chen Xianhou: The state of Wei is relatively small, and the sky is in a state of great calamity. Unfortunately, there is a calamity of killing the king. Although this was done by his rebellious brother Zhou Yu, the real minister's rebellious son Hou was greedy for position and helped Jie.If the two rebels are not punished, the chaotic ministers and thieves will soon follow in the world!The old man is old and unable to restrain himself. He has committed crimes against his ancestors.The plan of the old man is true, and fortunately, the Shangguo arrested and punished the crime, and the justice of the courtier is justified, and the world is fortunate.It is not only the luck of the subject.

This letter is written with earnest words and a clear understanding of righteousness. It can be said that it is moved with emotion and reason.It's impossible not to read. Sure enough, when Zhou and Shi were wandering and driving, the letter had already been secretly delivered to Chen Huangong. The monarch was most afraid of being usurped by others. I hate Zhou and Shi's rebellion even more, and wait until Zhou and Shi arrive in Chen State.Without any explanation, he ordered the soldiers to tie up the two and imprison them.Wait for the paraffin to fade. Knowing that Er Ni had already been arrested, Shi Wa called all civil and military officials to discuss how to deal with it.Some people said: "Zhou Yu is the chief villain and should be punished. Shi Hou is a rebel and can be punished lightly." Shi Wa was furious when he heard this: "If we eliminate rebellion for the country, how can we leave future troubles? You want to punish my rebellious son lightly." , Do you think that I think he has an affair with nurturing? If you are loyal to the country, how can you be selfish? I want to kill the rebellious son with my own hands!" His retainer Ru Yangjian said: "Don't be angry, old doctor. You are old and weak, and you are still Let me go to Chen Guo." In the end, Zhou Yu and Shi Hou were beheaded by Shi Cao of Chen Guo.

Zhou Xu and his accomplice Shi Hou, who had only been king for half a year, were easily dealt with by Paraffin. Chen Guo, the fake hand, removed it. It is conceivable that if the hand is used in Wei, no matter how powerful the paraffin wax is, it is difficult to determine who will die, at least it will not be so smooth. In March 1947, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Hu Zongnan to attack Yan'an with a total of 230,000 troops in 34 brigades. Our Northwest Field Corps' strategy and tactics of "grinding" and "fighting", "fighting" and "grinding" in Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Peng Dehuai Under the guidance of ideology, with more than 20,000 troops, they carried out successive battles such as ambushing Qinghuabian, skillfully attacking Yangmahe, fighting against Shajiadian, attacking Yulin City twice, and Taiwan captured Qingjian City, creating scenes of war wonders. Peng Dehuai, the commander and political commissar of this army, personally organized the battle of moving the tiger away from the mountain to attack Panlong Town, which is one of the wonderful scenes.

It was May, summer had already entered northern Shaanxi, and the Northwest Field Corps was resting after annihilating two enemy brigades in Qinghuabian and Yangmahe. Hu Zongnan was beaten twice as soon as he found Yan'an. He was a little frustrated. He couldn't find the main force of our army. He was eager for quick success like ants on a hot pot. It is placed near Panlong Town, and it is uncertain if there is such a move. During the interval between the battles, Peng Dehuai couldn't sit still anymore. He is a strict soldier and usually pays great attention to his military appearance.But in the sweltering headquarters, he couldn't sit down no matter what.He unbuttoned the belt around his waist for a while, and I put it on again for a while, and hesitantly unbuttoned the cotton coat for a while, and then buttoned it again for a while. At this time, the guard came in from the door.He saw that the guard had taken off all his clothes and only had a hollow jacket left. Seeing Mr. Peng at the headquarters, the guard was afraid of being scolded, so he turned his head and ran back to change clothes. Seeing the guard running away in a panic, Peng Dehuai sighed. With a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was still winter when the northern Shaanxi troops left Yan'an, and they were all wearing cotton clothes, but now it is summer.The commanders and fighters were still wearing cotton clothes, which directly affected the marching and fighting. The border government also retreated, and the military supplies could not be guaranteed. Peng Dehuai was considering a solution to this matter. He decided to ask Hu Zongnan, the "transportation team leader", to lead him.

He asked Wang Zhengzhu, deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, to ask: "Can you conclude that Panlong is Hu Zongnan's supply place?" "The Jedi are right, this is what we have repeatedly scouted." At this time, Chief of Staff Zhang Wenzhou also came in. "Mr. Peng, the troops below have requested to change their outfits again." "I can't stand the heat too!" Peng Dehuai said while fanning the wind with his cotton jacket, "It's just in time for you two to come, come, let's discuss the change of the troops." The two of them approached the map, and their eyes lit up. At some point, Peng Dehuai drew a circle on the map for Panlong's suppression.

After repeated research by the three, Peng Dehuai ordered someone to immediately summon Wang Zhen, the commander and political commissar of the second column, and Wang Enmao, the deputy political commissar, to the headquarters. Both of them were also wearing cotton-padded clothes and trousers, because they were sweating profusely during the rush, and the back of the cotton-padded clothes was also soaked. Peng Dehuai briefly introduced the situation in Shandong and southern Shanxi, and then said: "In northern Shaanxi, we must not only stick to Hu Zongnan, but also bite him. You see, we will eat him next." Point to Panlong Town. "Li Kungang, Brigade 167?" Wang Zhen suddenly realized. "Yes, take Panlong Town, wipe out the 167th brigade, and ask the troops to collect uniforms." Peng Dehuai said decisively. "I heard that Li Kungang is one of Hu Zongnan's Four King Kongs. I would like to see if he is real steel or fake steel." Wang Zhen was very excited. "There are so many officers under Hu Zongnan, there is a reason why he was named King Kong. He was Hu Zongnan's deputy chief of staff at the time, at least he had a way in military affairs!" Peng Dehuai did not despise his opponent. "Boss, you don't have to go around the bush, just give me the task!" Wang Zhen has a temper that loves to gnaw hard bones. "I knew you, Wang Huzi, were going to be anxious again. You see, Dong Zhao and Liu Kan's nine brigades are now assembled in Panlong. We want to eat him, but the tiger has no way to eat it!" "What does the boss mean to tell us to transfer the two tigers, Dong Zhao and Liu Kan, away from the mountain, and then attack Li Kungang?" Wang Zhen understood. "Otherwise we won't be able to fight Beaulieu. You can use a part of the 359th brigade, and I will transfer some from other main forces to complete the task of transferring Dong and Liu Er to bring out Beaulieu together with you. Fighting and straight, fighting back and forth. Now that Hu Zongnan is eager to find my main force for a decisive battle, we will use this mentality to put up a main force formation and lead his main force to Suide. We will take advantage of the emptiness to capture Panlong , eat Li Kungang." Peng Dehuai came up with a comprehensive battle plan.The old man Wang Zhen accepted the task and returned in the rain, and immediately assigned the task to Guo Peng, the commander of the 359th Brigade, "I want the enemy to regard you as the entire Northwest Field Army. Show the enemy the appearance of retreating into Jinsui, and lead the enemy all the way to Suide, so that Li can fight a beautiful battle and knock down the 176th brigade and the military station it is stationed in." Wang Zhen explained first. "In my opinion, this is similar to acting. The word 'like' is very important. If you act like it, the audience will believe it. If you don't act like it, the audience will go home and sleep... To act like a character, you must put yourself in the shoes of this When a character thinks about a problem, he should be in a hurry, and he should run... At the same time, the props, effects, and costumes must be well coordinated, and they must give people a realistic feeling. However, only being realistic is not enough, we must also pay attention Master the rhythm, not too slow, not too fast, too fast and too slow, the enemy may turn back to support, then we will be passive, we decided to solve the 167 brigade on May 5, then, it is best for you to let the enemy together Go to Suide every day or three." Wang Enmao took his time, like an experienced director, "guiding" Brigadier Guo Peng again. Guo Peng started to act overnight. He divided the participating troops into several detachments, pretending to be the main force, and the brigade headquarters acted as the head of the field army, equipped with a radio station. As soon as they set off, Brigadier Guo told everyone to take the road as much as possible and to be loud. When fighting the enemy, they should not love to fight. In order to let the enemy know the movements of my "main force" as soon as possible, he went to a local district to find the secretary of the district committee and asked the villagers for help. The secretary of the district committee thought that the army needed food and stretchers and expressed his full support. The main thing is not food and stretchers, but to find a few old women to reveal the secrets of the main force's operations to Hu Zongnan's troops, and lure them into the bait." "No, no, no," the secretary of the district committee shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, "It's not like you don't know the temper of our old lady here. You asked her to keep secrets for the troops, and you asked her to leak secrets, but no one would do it if she was killed. , who wants to be a traitor!" "How about looking for you? Go and mobilize in the name of the organization, Dao and the others must have listened, otherwise, someone else will be arrested as a spy." Guo Peng is still smiling. "Go and try it out," the secretary of the district party committee had no choice but to mobilize the old lady to "leak the secret". On April 28, under the command of Brigadier Guo, the decoy troops formed a long formation ten miles from east to west and "collapsed" in the direction of Suide. Peng Dehuai's strategy is unique. This "main force" has a southern accent and a northerly accent, and has a variety of clothing, including green, yellow, gray, blue, and black. Just looking at this formation can make people feel that they are the "main force" of the Northwest Field Army. At the same time as the troops luring the enemy set off, upon Peng Dehuai's request, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China ordered the Suide Prefectural Committee to organize some troops and the masses, and set up a posture of crossing the Yellow River on the bank of the Yellow River. In order to make the scene of crossing the river more realistic , A large number of wooden boats from Shaanxi and Shanxi were also mobilized to ferry back and forth on the river. The troops and local people crowded forward and back, bustling with people, shuttling back and forth, a "lively scene" of large troops crossing the river. Finally, "Tiger" came out of the mountain. Chiang Kai-shek received a report from the Ministry of National Defense: "The communist army is crossing the Yellow River in the east." He immediately regained his energy and immediately sent a report to Hu Zongnan: "The troops will divide into two groups, approaching Suide, and report the battle situation three times a day." Deng Baoshan's 22nd Army in Yulin: "Go south quickly and attack the communist army." Chiang Kai-shek felt that the communist army would be hard to fly. Hu Zongnan was more energetic, and he immediately deployed: ordered Li Kungang to lead an infantry regiment, a small artillery battalion, and the troops directly under him to guard the Panlong supply base, and ordered the Dong and Liu corps to advance to Suide with 7 days of food, so Dong Under the traction of our 359 brigade, Liu and Liu formed a huge square formation, with dozens of people in length and breadth, and rushed towards Suide in a mighty way. At this time, Peng Dehuai saw that the enemy really "obeyed the command", so he said to the staff of the headquarters: "Go, let's go south and fight Beaulieu." He said it very easily, just like going to the market. After the troops entered the position, the weather was so unfavorable that it began to rain, and it did not clear up until May 2. Peng Dehuai received a telegram from Mao Zedong: "The determination to attack Panlong is right. If you win, the impact will be great. Even if you lose, you will win." Experience," Peng Dehuai announced to the leaders of the troops: "You can clearly tell the soldiers to take down the Panlong and wear single clothes!" This sentence was used as a battle cry, which greatly boosted the morale of the commanders and fighters. At 18:00 in the afternoon, the battle started. Li Kungang thought that with the strong positions and sophisticated weapons, these strong positions and sophisticated weapons would be indestructible. He did not expect the Communist Army to attack Panlong with the main force. The fierce battle continued until May 4. , our army wiped out more than 6,700 people under Li Kungang's subordinates, and captured Li Kungang alive. At the same time, we seized 6 enemy mountain artillery pieces, with remaining bullets, countless medical outlets, 40,000 sets of military uniforms, which can equip nearly two Northwest Field Army regiments, and 12,000 flour Many bags, 1,000 mules and horses, when Hu Zongnan discovered our army's real intention and urgently ordered Dong and Liu to rush back to help, it was already the early morning of May 4. Dong and Liu received orders to rush back, only 250 kilometers away. After walking for three days, he did not rush back to Panlong Town until May 8th. At this time, Xinhua News Agency was broadcasting a commentary on "Comment on the Annihilation of Panlong and Hu Jun." underground. In the battle of Panlong, Peng Dehuai successfully used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, which not only wiped out the enemy's vital forces, but also solved the urgent need for the troops to change their outfits. In the 1840s, gold mines were discovered on the Pacific coast and in California, the United States. After the news spread, there was a gold rush in the United States and the European continent. Thousands of Europeans left their homes to seek gold in the Americas. Most of these Europeans landed in New York, because at that time the United States did not have a railway connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and the Panama Canal had not yet been mentioned on the agenda. Therefore, those who went to San Francisco often had to take a boat to detour to the southernmost tip of South America. An old businessman named Vanderbee saw that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and determined to open up a route through Nicaragua, allowing people to take a shortcut to San Francisco. Luo signed a secret agreement, which stipulated that Vanderbilt would be responsible for all ships transiting through Nicaragua.Since then, Vanderbilt has monopolized the exclusive transit rights of ships passing through Nicaragua, and within a few years, the old Vanderbilt has earned millions of dollars on this route. This matter attracted the attention of a young businessman named Walker. Walker saw that the old Vanderbilt relied on his love of the airline and poured a lot of money into his pockets. He has been in business for several years but has not achieved much. He is very jealous. , So I decided to take this route and take it as my own. In this way, I can make money from this route, and secondly, I can reduce the transportation cost of my own gold purchasing company. It is easy to win a small business, and it is not easy to win a route. The old Vanderbee has been in business for decades, and he is a veteran in the battlefield. It takes a lot of thought to fight him. Influenced by the crowds of bodyguards, it might not only achieve the goal, but also ruin the reputation. After thinking about it, Walker came up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. He decided to try to lure the old Vanderby to go abroad, and then took advantage of it. He first bought Vanderbilt's personal doctor with a lot of money, and asked him to do so. One day, the doctor said to the old Vanderbilt: "Your physical condition is not very good recently, it may be due to overwork. It is recommended that you go to France to recuperate for half a year or longer, otherwise, your heart will be in danger." In order to make the old Vanderbee decide to go abroad for recuperation, he also used money to buy some wives and wives who often had contacts with Vanderbee, and asked them to give Vanderbee's wife, daughter and daughter-in-law a blowjob, saying: "Your old man's complexion is not good. Well, the heart is not very good, why not go to a foreign country to rest for a while, the climate in the United States is too bad, if it continues like this, it may be life-threatening, Paris in France is the most suitable for an old man like him to recuperate," the family was very anxious when they heard this, Urged him three or four times a day to let him go out to recuperate. As the saying goes: "Three people make a tiger." Old Vanderby had no serious physical problems and felt pretty good about himself, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of many people, and he doubted his health. Is it really dead.So I got up and went to Paris to recuperate. As soon as old Vanderbilt left, Walker immediately took action. He loaded a ship with hundreds of thugs and a full ship of munitions to Nicaragua. Captured the capital of Nicaragua, went straight to the residence of President Chamorro, threatened President Chamorro to revise the agreement, and let him dominate the route. President Chamorro was so angry that he had a heart attack and died immediately. Walker took advantage of the fire and immediately supported a Nicaraguan national scum As the puppet president, he appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the Nicaraguan army and took control of the regime. Soon, the new government of Nicaragua announced the cancellation of the agreement between the original government and Vanderbilt, and Walker finally got his wish.
