Chapter 1993 The winner is not defeated, the loser is not defeated(2/2)
Encountering a swamp and being unable to advance, a good opportunity was missed. The Jin army attacked on the left and right separately, from morning to night. Although it was said to be victorious, the national power had declined, and its intentions were different... What the general meant was that the current situation was like that of Jin and Chu. There were officials vying for power within.
, Wu Qi and other countries are peeking outside..."
Jin State and Chu State were old enemies during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. They fought each other eleven times in total. Jin State won most of them. Chu State won not many times. Only the Battle of Bi and the Battle of Beilin were won.
They were just battles, but if we were talking about the most important and influential battles, they were the three mentioned by Fei Qian and Zhuge Liang.
Especially the Battle of Yanling.
Although the war ended with Jin's narrow victory, a series of negative consequences followed, which became a sign of the decline of these two hegemons. The outcome of the war was actually long overdue.
There are signs, and there are many obvious reasons for the loss of strength between the two countries.
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Kong Ming is really smart and knows someone's intention. Only by looking at history can we know the importance. In the past, the disputes between Jin and Chu included conflicts between countries and scholars..."
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a fact that cannot be ignored is that there were many conflicts between countries, especially within the Jin and Chu countries, between the old aristocrats and the new scholar-bureaucrats, and each had their own calculations. This intricate relationship,
It was also an important internal factor that caused Jin and Chu to compete with each other for hegemony.
"If you win externally but lose internally, you will eventually be defeated. If you win internally but lose externally, you will also be defeated. How difficult is it to win both internally and externally..." Fei Qian said, "Therefore, the winner of the battle is not the winner.
He who is defeated in battle is not defeated..."
Zhuge Liang was silent and didn't say anything immediately, but still looked at Fei Qian.
"During the Battle of Yanling..." Fei Qian took a breath, and then thought of some similar events in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh, "There has been internal discord in the Chu State for a long time. The generals are attacking each other, and the kings and soldiers are difficult to balance.
Disputes continued, and the King of Chu was at a loss what to do, so he had to seek external benefits..."
Transferring domestic conflicts to other countries is not a practice that only later generations of countries know how to do. At least during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the King of Chu knew how to play this trick. But in doing so, some people succeeded, and some people failed...
Zhuge Liang is not stupid. He has long noticed that Fei Qian is unwilling to send troops to Jingzhou, but he wanted to fight for it before. On the surface, because he has stayed in one place for a long time, he will have some feelings, but in fact, Zhuge Liang knows that he is actually in his heart.
, there was a deeper reason that made him unwilling to see Jingzhou, which had finally enjoyed peace for several years, once again fall into the flames of war like his hometown.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes sadly.
Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang and felt a little emotional. If a person's achievements are like a bucket of water, then the person's own talent is one of the boards, which may determine the lower limit, but a person's vision is also another board.
, determines the upper limit of this person...
There is no need to question Zhuge Liang's talent.
Some people say that Mr. Luo praised Zhuge Liang and that his talent was overestimated. In fact, from a historical perspective, it may actually be underestimated. Zhuge Liang's image may have been somewhat corrupted by Mr. Luo, and he was reduced to a talkative and quick-talking master.
image, rather than a steady politician.
Give a chestnut.
In order to protect Dujiangyan, and also to ensure that water conservancy resources would not be misappropriated by this or that person, Zhuge Liang issued an order during the Three Kingdoms period, stating that Dujiangyan is the foundation of the country and "an asset of the country, and it must be protected by 1,200 people."
", and then a "Weir Officer" was specially set up to command this armed force to protect Dujiangyan, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Shu Han court and was not interfered by local governments such as counties and counties.
Thanks to this, Dujiangyan can "only encourage agriculture, do not seize the time, only reduce taxes and collect endless people's wealth", and will not be surrounded by this or that person.
The situation in which the local government keeps its eyes open but doesn't know this or that and can't control anything can ensure the orderly, healthy and stable agriculture of the entire Chengdu Plain.
Unlike Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who sent troops to enclose the land and declare it state-owned, Zhuge Liang established an armed defense force to protect state-owned public facilities from private encroachment and ensure the normal operation of the country. This concept transcends time and space, and even makes some people in later generations
Everyone should be ashamed.
That's why Fei Qian was willing to slowly let Zhuge Liang see and think about it. At least Fei Qian knew that if Zhuge Liang could really understand and understand, there would be a strong force in the future to make things change.
