Chapter 32 The second chapter Huaguo Mountain gathers demons for righteousness——Monkey King reveals the secret of the failure of the revolution

The gathering of demons in Huaguo Mountain first appeared in the third chapter, which can be said to have opened a vigorous prelude for Monkey King to proclaim himself the Monkey King and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace. In the original book——Wukong gathers a group of monkeys, with a total of more than 47,000.The monsters that have already alarmed the mountain are all wolves, insects, tigers, leopard muntjacs, deer deer, muntjacs, foxes, raccoons, badgers, dogs, lions, elephants, lions, orangutans, bears, deer, wild hogs, mountain oxen, etc. Antelope, Qingxi, Qiaoer, Shenmastiff... all kinds of demon kings, there are 72 caves in total, and they all come to pay homage to the monkey king.Contributions are made every year, at four o'clock.There are also those who prepare for the shift, and those who collect grain according to the festival. They are neat and tidy, and a mountain of flowers and fruits is built like a golden city in iron barrels. The demon kings from all walks of life also have golden drums, colored flags, and armors. , Day by day, I practice dancing from house to house.

This passage tells us two pieces of information. First, there are not only monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, but also other beasts, and it is not that there are no monsters, but there are as many as seventy-two caves; The demon kings of the two caves fought on their own. After Sun Wukong returned from his studies, he established his own base for rebellion, collected weapons, and trained soldiers. The demon kings of the seventy-two caves took advantage of Sun Wukong's ability and courage, and jointly respected Sun Wukong as Huaguo Mountain. The leader of the rebel army, so far, Sun Wukong has enough soldiers and food, and the Huaguoshan rebellion base has a preliminary scale.

Later, when Sun Wukong was dissatisfied with Bi Mawen's position and returned to Huaguo Mountain, another one-horned ghost king came to pay homage, and persuaded Sun Wukong to proclaim himself the title of "Sage Equaling Heaven" and openly raised the flag to rebel. With his own name, his own direct line troops, support troops, weapons and food equipment, base areas, generals and soldiers, so at this time, Monkey King really has the opportunity to fight to the death with the Heavenly Court. capital. When Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, he fought against the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, but the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were not opposed by Monkey King alone, but by the entire Huaguo Mountain. It was killed by Monkey King, such as Nezha, Four Heavenly Kings, Jiuyaoxing Palace, Twenty-Eight Mansions, etc., who were killed by Monkey King are basically general-level figures.And most of the heavenly soldiers were wiped out by the Huaguo Mountain monsters. Don't forget that Sun Wukong has more than 47,000 monkeys in the Huaguo Mountain. There are also 72 cave demon kings leading their own troops. , This is a powerful force capable of countering the Heavenly Soldiers.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Monkey King, you must first cut off Monkey King's wings, that is, these monkey troops and demon king troops. Sun Wukong himself is a very great military strategist. According to the original book, Sun Wukong himself built Huaguo Mountain like an iron bucket, so we can know that Sun Wukong is not mediocre in military deployment. It is also because of this that after Monkey King has been an official in the Heavenly Court for a long time, he has figured out the basic situation of the gods from all walks of life, and he is no longer afraid of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

The fifth chapter - the great sage was sharing the fairy wine with the seventy-two cave demon kings and the four strong generals. When he heard the report, he openly ignored him and said: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Don't care about right and wrong in front of the door. "Can't say anymore, the little demon jumped up again and said: "Those nine fierce gods are swearing and fighting in front of the door!" (Some words are omitted in the middle) While shouting, the great sage arrived.Call out: "Open the way!" Pull away the iron rod, cover it with a cover, the bowl is thick and thin, and the length is two feet long, throw away the shelf, and beat it out.The Nine Obsidian dared to resist, but was repelled for a while.The Nine Obsidian stood upright and said, "You lifeless Bi Mawen! You committed ten heinous crimes. You stole the peaches first, and then the wine. Come here to enjoy yourself, you add crime to crime, don't you know?" The Great Sage said with a smile: "These things are true, true! But what are you doing now?"

From this description, it can be seen that Monkey King confessed to the crime he committed, and he didn't care at all. It was obvious that he wanted to fight against your heavenly court. What do you want?Facts have proved that Li Jing's troops are indeed no match for Monkey King. In fact, Li Jing's strategic deployment was very correct. He set up a net to attack Monkey King and the monsters of Huaguo Mountain at the same time, and wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Li Jing's generals couldn't beat Monkey King, and Li Jing's soldiers couldn't beat Huaguo There are many monsters in the mountain, so Li Jing failed to encircle and suppress Huaguo Mountain twice.

When the Heavenly Palace was in trouble, the arrival of Erlang God turned the situation into a major reversal. Erlang God's Meishan brothers led more than a thousand grass-headed soldiers to cooperate with Li Jing's large army to suppress the demons in Huaguo Mountain, while Erlang God and Monkey King fought against each other. In the original book——on this battle, Kang, Zhang, Yao, Li, Guo Shen, and Zhijian gave orders to release the God of Grass Heads, and set up eagles and dogs outside his water curtain cave.Poorly scattered the four master monster monkeys, and captured two or three thousand spirit monsters... But it is said that the true king and the great sage have changed their methods on a scale of heaven and earth. Elephant, pull out the stick and get up and go... The great sage doesn't like to fight, he just runs, and when he is approaching the entrance of the cave, he bumps into Kang, Zhang, Yao, Li Siwei, Guo Shen, and Zhijian. Go there!" The Great Sage panicked...

The author has to say that Erlang God's strategic deployment is far more clever than Li Jing's. When he and Monkey King fought inextricably, the Caotou God army and the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Meishan brothers had successfully defeated the Huaguoshan group of demon troops. Of course Monkey King knew that the monsters in Huaguo Mountain were his capital, so he was flustered and rushed back to rescue him, but at this time, it was too late. The Meishan brothers had already solved the battle on Huaguo Mountain, and turned around to attack Monkey King with Erlang God. Under the siege and interception of Erlangshen and others and Xiaotiangou, he was hit by the Taishang Laojun again, and finally declared failure.

It can be said that Sun Wukong's failure has both subjective and objective reasons. On the objective side, the ruling power is still very strong; on the subjective side, there are many things worthy of our aftertaste. First of all, Sun Wukong has the mood of underestimating the enemy.When he was victorious against Li Jing's troops, he underestimated the strength of Heavenly Court. When Erlang came, Monkey King still dismissed him and spoke wild words. As for letting the Meishan brothers tear open Huaguoshan's opening, they fell into a passive situation. Second, Sun Wukong's troops are not pure. First of all, the six great sages don't care. This point has been analyzed in the previous chapter, so I won't say more here.What the author wants to say is that the non-directed troops under Monkey King's command, that is, the seventy-two cave monsters, are not good at fighting, which is also a major factor in Monkey King's defeat.

Third, Monkey King has no generals under his command.The sworn brothers don't think about the love of sworn brothers, Marshal Maliu, General Benba, and the One-horned Ghost King can't stand alone, which is also an important reason for Monkey King's failure. In the following, the author will focus on analyzing Monkey King's attitude towards his own combat troops. The reason why the seventy-two hole monsters are unfavorable in fighting is largely due to Sun Wukong's own reasons. We can see from the description in the previous paragraph that Monkey King uses the seventy-two hole monsters as a forward battalion, that is to say, the seventy-two hole Monsters are the vanguard, to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder, which inevitably makes these monster brothers feel unhappy, and they don't fight so desperately.

This cannot but be said to be a point that Sun Wukong lacks consideration. In fact, the author can completely understand Sun Wukong's mood. After all, the monkey army is his direct line army. How to improve the combat effectiveness of direct troops? The method is very simple. Basically, it is enough to treat people equally. Sun Wukong can select some monkeys with strong fighting power and put them in the seventy-two hole monsters. and surveillance. In fact, Monkey King did not do this, but distinguished the monkey army from the seventy-two hole monsters in terms of behavior and heart. First of all, Sun Wukong asked four old monkeys to lead the monkey troops, and the sub-bureau Huaguoshan to rush to the Shuilian Cave. This is a manifestation of reuse, trust and protection; All take the lead, which is a manifestation of isolation and alienation; Secondly, when Sun Wukong was in the Netherworld of the brain, he ticked off the life and death of all monkeys, but he did not tick off the monsters in the seventy-two holes. The prestige of the army and the support of the monkey army, but it made the monsters who are not directly descended troops feel dissatisfied. Chapter 5 of the original book - the one-horned ghost king and the monsters in the seventy-two caves were all captured by the gods, and the four generals and the group of monkeys were stopped and hid deep in the bottom of the water curtain cave. The four heavenly gods lived together with Li Tota and Prince Nezha, all in mid-air, and they fought for a long time... The great sage won the victory, plucked his hair, turned back to the cave, and saw the iron bridge head, four strong generals, leading the crowd. Kowtowing to the great sage, he choked with sobs and cried three times, and then laughed three times... The great sage said: "Victory and defeat are common in military strategists. The ancients said: If you kill ten thousand, you will lose three thousand. Kuang Zhuo The leaders who went away were tigers, leopards, wolves, badgers, deer, foxes, etc. None of my kind were injured, so why bother? In this paragraph, we can clearly see that Monkey King's attitude towards non-directed troops can be said to be completely indifferent.The author feels very sorry for this. If the seventy-two cave monsters are used properly, it is really hard to tell who will win and who will lose in the battle between Monkey King and Erlang God. The capture of the seventy-two cave monsters basically heralded the tragedy of Huaguoshan's defeat, and the arrival of Erlang God later confirmed this ending. Sun Wukong was able to achieve success because of the three major elements of timing, location, and people. When the heavenly court was decaying and weak, he occupied the Huaguo Mountain Cave, the blessed land, made friends with the world, and had tens of thousands of soldiers.But Xiao He also defeated Xiao He. The reason why Sun Wukong failed was because of the timing, location, and harmony of people. When the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism wanted to achieve a harmonious situation, Huaguo Mountain was already in the net of heaven and earth, the seven brothers fell apart, and most of the demon soldiers Collapse. Therefore, the capital that depends on success often cannot guarantee your permanent success, and improper operation may even become a sharp weapon for urging your life. Also, as the author said in the previous chapter, at the beginning of the establishment, different voices among the allied forces will sooner or later lead to the failure of the venture!Therefore, if you want to start a business successfully, you can’t rely on one person to fight alone. No matter how strong a person is, he needs wings to help him; moreover, your allies must be like-minded people, otherwise your wings will have no power, and you may even lose your wings. Take you to fly in the opposite direction.
