Chapter 49 Thirty-fifth meter chain meter

If you have too many soldiers, you can't fight against them, let them tire themselves, and kill them. You will be lucky in the division, and you will be favored by heaven. If the enemy's army is strong, don't fight recklessly. You should use tactics to make them contain each other, so as to completely weaken their combat strength. The generals command skillfully and use troops like gods, and they will surely win. During the Three Kingdoms period, Pang Tong of the State of Shu feigned surrender to Cao Ying, and urged Cao Cao of the State of Wei to fix the water warships with iron cables, and then used fire attacks to prevent the ships from escaping. Strategy, accumulating the enemy before and attacking the enemy later, combining the two strategies, any strong enemy will be destroyed.

For example, Bi Zaiyu, a famous general in the Song Dynasty, often used tricks to lure the Jin soldiers into battle. He always advanced and retreated suddenly, entangled the enemy again and again. Pretending to be defeated, the enemy tried to pursue the victory, but the horses of the golden soldiers were already hungry.The horse smelled the smell of Dou Qianli, and only wanted to fight for the Dou Qianli, and refused to move no matter how much it was whipped. At this time, Bi Zaiyu launched an assault with troops and won. The principle of chain counting is very simple, everything is connected with each other, as long as you grasp the key point, it will cause a chain reaction, and if you use it chain by chain, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It is said that the earliest source of serial tricks is represented by Wang Yunqiao's serial tricks in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are father and son by name, but they are actually two lustful people, and they are at odds with each other.Wang Yun saw this right and promised Diaochan to Lu Bu first, but then sent her to Dong Zhuo, which made the lustful Lu Bu jealous and killed Dong Zhuo in a fit of anger.This is the beauty chain meter. There are also capable people who can count on Zhang Yi. After he became the prime minister of Qin, with his three-inch tongue, he separated the six countries and completely shattered Su Qin's vertical alliance.The six countries were pulled over one by one, and finally the Qin State unified China.

In World War II, Hitler was the most successful use of the chain meter.At that time, Britain and France were world powers. If Germany wanted to deal with the Anglo-French alliance, it had to dismantle it first, and then break it one by one. Hitler first put forward the slogan of "equal military affairs" to please Britain. France was deeply dissatisfied with this, and Hitler He also proposed not to make territorial claims to France in order to curry favor with France. This two-sided approach caused conflicts between Britain and France.At this time, Hitler sent troops to occupy the demilitarized area of ​​the Rhine, and France was very annoyed by this. The leader of Xin Country, then launched a world war.

Zigong is a student of Confucius, and in the eyes of ordinary people he is just a scholar, but he is famous all over the world because of his strategic plan. One day, when Confucius was giving a lecture, a disciple ran in in a panic, "Sir, it's bad, it's bad! Tian Chang of Qi State is going to send troops to attack Lu State!" Confucius broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "This, this, my ancestral graves are all in Lu State, you should come out and take care of them!" At this time, Zilu stood up: "Sir, let me go, I will let them retreat." "You, you can't!"

Zishi said, "Sir, let me go." "You can't do it either, I think Zigong should go," Confucius ordered Zigong's general. So Zigong went to Qi State in a carriage, and when he saw Tian Chang, he said, "It is absolutely wrong for the general to attack Lu State." "What did you say wrong?" Tian Chang asked. "Look, its walls are broken and low, its land is small and poor. Its monarch is stupid, stupid, and unjust, and its ministers are useless. Its soldiers and people None of them are willing to fight, so you can’t fight them just because of this!”

Tian Chang looked at Zi Gong, the more he listened, the more he didn't understand, so he could only listen to him patiently. "You might as well go and attack the country of Wu. The walls of the country of Wu are tall and thick, and the land is vast and fertile. The armor is strong and the soldiers are specially trained. These are the reasons why the country of Wu is easy to conquer." Tian Chang was furious when he heard this: "What kind of stupid reason are you talking about? Is this what you want to tell me?" Zigong said: "You don't have to be angry. Listen to me. It is easy to win by defeating Lu, but after winning, it will make the king proud and his ministers will be more arrogant. If this is the case, Qi will be in danger. If you go to fight against the state of Wu and you cannot win, and the soldiers and generals die outside, there will be no ministers in the country to fight against you. No one below will blame you for your mistakes, and you will be the only one who governs the state of Qi!"

Tian Chang nodded again and again: "But I have already sent my soldiers to the State of Lu, and it is too late to send them to the State of Wu." "It's easy to handle. I'll go to see the king of Wu and tell them to send troops to rescue Lu Qi. When you are good, you can send troops to fight against Wu." Zigong hurried to the state of Wu again. When he saw the king of Wu, he said plausibly: "I heard that a king cannot be without descendants, and hegemony cannot have a strong opponent. Now the state of Qi wants to occupy the state of Lu and Wu. The country is fighting for hegemony, and I am worried about the king in private! If the country of Lu is rescued, it is equivalent to trapping the country of Qi."

Wu Guo thought for a while and said: "This is good, but I am preparing to fight Yue, so let's talk about it after I finish fighting Yue!" "This is the king's fault. Yue is not as powerful as Qi. Your king attacked the small Yue, but did not dare to attack Qi. This is not considered brave. Besides, if Lu is saved, other countries will be defeated." Knowing the strength of the king, they will compete to surrender, and the king's hegemony will be achieved. If the king is not willing to let the Yue country go, I can persuade the king of Yue to send troops with the king."

The king of Wu was very happy when he heard this, so he asked Zigong to go to Yue to be a lobbyist. After Ligong arrived in the State of Yue, King Goujian of Yue heard that Zigong was coming, so he built a long-term coexistence road from a long distance, and ran to Xiaowai to meet him, and drove to the palace in person. If you want to fight Qi, if it defeats Qi, it must attack Jin, and then your king can take the opportunity to attack Wu." After hearing Zigong's words, the king of Yue said yes again and again, and gave Zigong a lot of gold, but Zigong declined all of them. Zigong returned to the state of Wu and said to the king of Wu: "I have told the king of Yue what the king said, and the king of Yue was very frightened. He said that he would never forget the merits of the king of Wu until he died. How dare he plot evil!"

King Wu burst out laughing after hearing Zi Gong's words. So, King Wu led the troops of the nine counties to attack Qi. At this time, Zigong rushed to the state of Jin again, and said to the king of the state of Jin: "Now the state of Wu is about to defeat the state of Qi. If the state of Wu defeats the state of Qi, the state of Wu will surely come to the state of Jin." The king of Jin was shocked and asked, "Then what should we do?" Zigong said: "There is no other way, build weapons, rest soldiers, and prepare to fight against Wu." The army of Wu State fought a battle with the army of Qi State in Ai Ling, and the Qi army was defeated. The armies of Wu and Jin met in Huangchi. The king of Wu did not pay attention to the Jin army because he won the battle, but the Jin army had already made preparations for the battle because he followed Zigong's advice. The two armies fought for a while. , The Jin army became more and more courageous in the battle, and the Wu army was defeated. When the King of Yue heard the news that the Wu army had been defeated, he immediately led his troops across the river to attack the State of Wu. When the King of Wu heard that the King of Yue was attacking the State of Wu, he cursed: "Goujian is a shameless villain, I must kill him this time!" , Three battles in a row, the Wu army became weaker and weaker as it fought, and the Yue army became stronger and stronger as it fought, until it reached the palace, and King Fuchai of Wu was killed in the palace. After the destruction of Wu State, Yue State began to dominate in the east. Zigong's first mission was to preserve the state of Lu, but it caused a series of chain reactions.The state of Lu was safe and sound, but the state of Qi was suffering from wars and chaos. The state of Wu was completely destroyed.Zigong made a series of tricks, which can be said to be unprecedented; with a clever tongue, within ten years, the five countries each had their own strengths, and their fortunes changed dramatically. The People's Liberation Army's bombardment of Kinmen began on August 23, 1958. It was known as the "8.23" artillery battle in history. This was a partial military struggle and a comprehensive military, political, and diplomatic struggle. I am going to fight wits and courage, and they are closely linked, which is thrilling. On July 27, 1958, Ye Fei received a letter from Chairman Mao to Peng Dehuai and Huang Kecheng transmitted by telegram. Chairman Mao said in the letter: "For the time being, we will not fight" the shelling of Jinmen.Ye Fei replied immediately and said that the preparation work should be done more fully. In the following month, the air force entered Liancheng and Shantou airports, and then transferred to Longtian airport. The naval fleet and coastal artillery units also entered the coast of Fujian. The artillery transferred 3 divisions and a tank regiment. By the beginning of August, the ground artillery had all entered the position.The Navy's 130 coastal guns are deployed at the corner of Xiamen.From Jiaowei to Xiamen, Dadang, Xiaodeng, to Weitou of Quanzhou Bay, our artillery positions are in a semicircle of more than 30 kilometers long. Dajinmen, Xiaojinmen and all sea ports are under the control of the firepower of our People's Liberation Army artillery fire Inside, the artillery, air force, and navy are fully prepared to wait for orders from Beijing. On August 21, Mao Zedong summoned Ye Fei in Beidaihe. Boss Peng and Lin Biao were also present at that time.After Chairman Mao finished listening to Ye Fei's report, he suddenly asked him: "If you use so many cannonballs, will the Americans also be killed?" Ye Fei thought about it. At that time, in the Kuomintang army, American advisers were assigned to the battalion level. "Oh, that's within reach!" Chairman Mao thought for a while and said: "Can you not hit the Americans?" Ye Fei said: "Chairman, that is inevitable!" After hearing this, Chairman Mao didn't say anything, just said: "Everyone, let's rest." After dinner, Wang Shangrong, chief of operations of the General Staff, showed Ye Fei a note, which was written by Lin Biao to Chairman Mao. Lin Biao asked whether he could give some information to the United States through Wang Bingnan, who was negotiating with the United States in Warsaw. It seemed that Lin Biao was very good at it. Think about Chairman Mao's intentions.But this time, Chairman Mao ignored his suggestion. When the meeting was held the next day, Chairman Mao said to Ye Fei: "Just fight according to your plan!" At 12 o'clock on August 23, Chairman Mao gave an order, and the shelling of Jinmen began. After the first burst of artillery fire, the entire Golden Gate was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. At that time, Hu Lian and his American adviser had just walked out of the underground headquarters. When the artillery sounded, he immediately shrank back.However, the deputy defense commanders Ji Wenxing, Zhang Jie, and Zhao Jiaxiang were seriously injured and died in the hospital one after another. At that time, two American advisers on the ground were also killed. What is puzzling is that when the report of the People's Liberation Army's shelling of Kinmen was sent to Chiang Kai-shek, he kept saying, "Good! Good! Good!" It turns out that since the 1950s, the United States has used it to support Chiang Kai-shek and repeatedly raised a series of demands with only one purpose, which is to separate Taiwan from China.Chiang Kai-shek only acted on the face of the Americans. After the bombardment of Kinmen, Chiang Kai-shek resisted the US request to withdraw troops from Kinmen and Malaysia on the grounds that the mainland wanted to liberate Taiwan, thus breaking the US conspiracy to "host Taiwan". It can also be said that it was Mao Zedong's plan. Another link is that the United States fought in the Middle East. In order to support the liberation struggle of the people in the Middle East, Mao Zedong mobilized a large number of troops to pretend to liberate Taiwan. US President Eisenhower couldn't sleep for several days and ordered the US troops in the Mediterranean Half of the ships of the 6th Fleet were transferred to the Taiwan Strait to join the 7th Fleet, so that the United States had an aircraft carrier in the Taiwan Strait, 3 heavy cruisers, 40 destroyers, and 3,800 US Marines landed in Taiwan. The 6th Fleet, which invaded the Middle East, supported the struggle of the people of the Middle East. In late August, Ye Fei returned to Xiamen from Beidaihe. At this time, all the sea supply lines in Kinmen had been cut off. On September 7, US and Chiang Kai-shek ships formed a convoy and headed for Kinmen. The direct involvement of the US made the situation complicated. Ye Fei immediately called Chairman Mao to report the situation. Chairman Mao said on the phone: "The artillery still needs to be fired, and it can be fired as usual, but don't hit the American warships, only Taiwan warships." "What if the US ship wants to fire on the ground?" "Return fire without order." When Ye Fei sent Chairman Mao's order to the battlefield, many commanders were surprised, thinking that the order was wrong, and the US ship was under their noses, so why not fight? Ye Fei ordered the frontline commanders to resolutely follow the orders of the central government. At 12:00 on September 7, the U.S.-Taiwan fleet arrived at the Kinmen Keluo port. The transport ship began to unload supplies. Chairman Mao ordered to open fire. The dismounted ship immediately fled towards Taiwan. As a result, three Taiwanese ships were sunk and many were damaged. Afterwards, Ye Fei realized that the purpose of Chairman Mao's order was to test the effectiveness of the US-Taiwan mutual defense treaty.The extent to which the U.S. military wants to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, such a contest, Chairman Mao has also touched the bottom of the U.S., the so-called U.S.-Taiwan joint defense is also very limited, as long as the U.S.’s own interests are involved, it is necessary to risk a direct conflict with the People’s Liberation Army The United States will definitely not do it. The bombardment started on "8.23" and lasted for 44 days. The next step was for the People's Liberation Army to land and recover Kinmen and Matsu. However, Chairman Mao has been slow to issue the order to liberate Kinmen. Frontline commanders and fighters waited until October 6, when Defense Minister Peng Dehuai published a letter to compatriots in Jin, Malaysia, and Taiwan, unexpectedly stating: "We are all Chinese, and the best strategy is harmony." He then announced; "Starting from October 6, the shelling will be temporarily suspended for seven days." He can also propose peace negotiations. The Taiwan authorities didn't know what to do with this announcement for a while. They said it was a hoax, and said it was a respite before a new offensive. They also said it was a wedge between China and the United States. On October 13, Peng Dehuai issued another order to our army: "The shelling of Jinmen will stop for another two weeks from today." He also emphasized: "The recovery of Taiwan is the sovereignty of the Chinese people, and neither the United States nor the United Nations has the right to intervene." On October 25th, Defense Minister Peng Dehuai published the "Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan" and stated: "The Chinese people's affairs can only be resolved by the Chinese themselves. If it is difficult to solve it for a while, it can be discussed later." It is beneficial for you to stick to it for a long time." In this way, the shelling of Kinmen became symbolic, although there was no agreement between the two sides.But I understand it in my heart.When we bombarded Kinmen, we did not attack positions or residential areas, but only the beach, and they only fired on the beach. Later, the shelling was stopped for three days during the Chinese New Year holiday, so that the soldiers and civilians in Kinmen could celebrate the festival safely. It was no secret at the time that the three articles published in the name of Defense Minister Peng Dehuai were all written by Chairman Mao himself.But why Kinmen was not liberated is probably part of Chairman Mao's chain plan.In addition to a certain role of military containment, it can also leave a channel for "dialogue" between the two sides and become a new way of negotiation. The bombardment of Kinmen has been going on for 21 years. From Chairman Mao's decision, it can be seen that Chairman Mao has a far-sighted strategic vision, and he is closely linked, step by step to strive for the mastery of unrest. This can indeed be said to be a series of plans. an outstanding work.
