The death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, there is no one in this world who can make the princes of the world feel the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox more than Yuan Shao's death. In the past, the Yuan clan was so powerful, Yuan Shu was divided into Huainan and Yuan Shao, Chen Bing, Qingxu, and half of the Kanto region belonged to the Yuan clan. In the past few years, the huge army that was once second only to the Yan clan in the world has been shattered one after another, and who else in the world is qualified to be the enemy of the Yan clan?

Whenever the world is turbulent, the world for decades will inevitably revolve around the war, although in the final analysis it is still politics, but since the ten permanent servants killed the general He Jin in the palace by means of assassination, the princes of all walks of life have competed to use swords to speak for more than ten years.

In the eyes of orthodox military artists, war is divided into two stages, the preparatory stage and the actual stage, and the Shang Dynasty in the pre-Qin period used extremely refined and complex policy changes to make the Qin state a strong Qin, which was a strategy for cultivating and fighting. The so-called ploughing war is to use the simplest method to achieve the goal of victory in the war, ploughing, in preparation; war, for the actual; This is also the reason why the Qin State became a war machine.

Qin's national policy was self-preservation and expansion, all in order to become stronger.

In the art of war, ploughing can also be replaced by the so-called 'temple calculation'.

Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, whenever the country encounters war, it must be reported to the ancestral temple and discussed in the temple, which has become a fixed ritual. The emperor was divining fortune in the temple, praying for the protection of the gods, and using witchcraft to pretend to the will of the gods to force people to go to war. This is the original form of "temple calculation". It was Sun Wu who really proposed the practical use of temple calculations in war, and in his writings, he classified temple calculations as 'five things and seven strategies', which was also the core idea of Sun Tzu's use of soldiers.

Those who count more win, those who count less win, and those who do not count do not win.

The temple calculation determines the winning side of the war, and if the winning side is large, it can be won, and then it can be warned; If the winning chance is not big, you cannot win, and you should avoid war.

The five things, namely the Tao, the heavens, the earth, the generals, and the law, are to compare the two sides of the war from the five aspects of politics, time, location, generals, and law; The so-called seven strategies are to compare the military potential of the two sides in a more detailed way from the point of view of political clarity, superior commanders, favorable time and place, strict law and discipline, excellent weapons, well-trained soldiers, and fair rewards and punishments, so as to understand themselves and the enemy.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

This is a SOT analysis that was born 2,500 years ago specifically for warfare, and it is also an excellent methodology.

In Jiangdong, people are counted above the temple and worried about the countryside. Although the Sun clan and Yan Zhao had just achieved huge results in the offensive of the alliance hostile Yuan clan and directly eliminated the Yuan clan, the problems that followed were exposed, the Yuan clan was destroyed, where should the Sun clan go?

Is it to fight in the north and pursue a higher political status, or to stick to Jiangdong and live alone, or to pay tribute to the Yan clan to protect the peace of Jiangdong?

Everyone was thinking about it, including Sun Ce, who was known as the little overlord.

Jiangdong and Yan Zhao, who has the way?

Mr. Sun Wu's way is different from the way of Mencius and the way of Confucius, and the future generations will naturally know about it. Sun Tzu's way is to ask the supreme leader, the talents of the two lords, and the purpose is to gain the support of the people. In this regard, Yanbei is not bad, but it first supported the emperor and later blocked Yedu, which is already known to the world, and the land under his command is vast and the people's hearts are inevitably uneven; The Sun family is deeply rooted in Yangzhou, and has the help of wealthy families in the rise, so that they can unite as one.

Who will be capable?

The strength of the Yan generals is also known to the world, but its main general Lu Yi who controls Qingxu was injured in the previous battle with the Taishan thieves and returned, and although the generals of Xuzhou and Tian Yu are superb, they are always better to deal with than the monstrous Lu Yi in the eyes of others; As for the generals of the Sun family, Sun Ce knows the roots, and he doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than Lu Yi, but he will not be worse than them, not to mention that the 'master' Sun Ce himself is a unparalleled general in the world. Sun Ce thought in his heart that he was stronger than Yan Zhao's generals at this point.

Who has heaven and earth?

Needless to ask, a big river is between the two sides, whoever can control the big river will control the geographical advantage, and the Sun family is blessed with a unique navy. However, if they crossed the river and fought northward, they could have a slight advantage except in winter when the pressure on the northern baggage line increased greatly, and they could not compare with Yan Zhao at all at other times.

What is the law?

The two generals of the Yan clan are different from each other, and Sun Ce can personally fight and fight, and the people under his command are naturally united, and Sun Ce has an advantage that is difficult for the Yan clan to match in this regard.

As for the strength of more soldiers, the training of soldiers, and the rewards and punishments, Sun Ce could not compare, Yan Zhao and Jiangdong had not yet had a real battle, Sun Ce did not want to grow up others to destroy his prestige, nor did he want to be arrogant. This is also the reason why Sun Ce is so angry, they have never fought an army, but there are people in the state who have the idea of surrendering...... This is cowardice before fighting, how can it be done?

In his heart, Sun Ce did not resist surrendering to the Yan clan, when the situation has become like this, unless he has a deep enmity with Yan Bei, no one will resist the Yan clan. It's like in the past, there was no Taishou who didn't want to obey the orders of the imperial court. The more this mentality goes out of the Central Plains, the more so, the Central Plains princes such as Yuan Shao and others still have a little ridicule in their hearts for Yanbei, the leader of the Youzhou horse bandits, but for the same border people, their status is completely different.

But surrender without a fight? No one's heart is too happy. Yuan Shao, who divided Qingxu, dared to declare war on Yanbei, Cao Cao, who divided Yanyu, dared to declare war on Yanbei, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao dared to declare war on Yanbei.

I'm afraid this is absolutely impossible, the Sun family has decided the Jiangdong matter in a word for more than ten years, this is the foundation of their father and son for two generations, if they don't say a word, let people ...... If you don't care about Sun Bofu's own face and arrogant heart, what will you do to face your father Yingling under Jiuquan in the future.

"Gong Jin, where should we go now?"

It's not that Sun Ce hasn't made up his mind, it's just that he needs someone to strengthen his confidence at this time. And the only person who can strengthen his confidence is Zhou Yu, who rushed back from afar.

"There's nothing to worry about, you ......" Zhou Yu had just spoken, but Sun Ce raised his hand to stop him, grabbed his arm and walked towards the hall, only to see Sun Ce's face serious and resolute, "At this time, I have to meet my mother before we can agree!" ”

After a short time, the two ascended to the church to worship their mother, Sun Ce informed his mother Wu of his doubts, and Zhou Yu said eloquently: "When Chu Jun was first sealed to the edge of Jing Mountain, the place was not enough for a hundred miles. His descendants were virtuous, expanding the land, expanding the territory, establishing a foundation in Yingdu, and occupying the land of Jingyang until the South China Sea. It has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 900 years. General, you inherited your father's old business, attacked the six counties, the soldiers were well fed, and the morale of the soldiers was strong. Moreover, casting mountains for copper, boiling the sea for salt, people's hearts are stable, morale is strong, it can be said that they are invincible! ”

"Now that we have surrendered to the Yan Clan, the biggest benefit we can get is just a Hou Yin, a dozen servants, and a car and horses, how can it be compared with our own meritorious deeds and being called a lonely widow?" Zhou Yu said: "Now that the Yan clan has eliminated the Yuan clan and concentrated on attacking Cao Cao, we can still unite as one, once the Cao clan is eliminated, if the Yan clan continues to respect the emperor, we can pay tribute to the emperor; If the Yan clan is arrogant and plays with fire and self-immolation, we only need to raise the master of the royal road to save the world and wait for the destiny of heaven. ”
