In the era of cold weapons, they mainly deal with swords, guns, swords and halberds. These are auxiliary to bows and crossbows. The defense mainly depends on the city walls, and the attack mainly depends on charges. The war is largely due to money and food, and people's lives. Therefore, although it can be seen all year round in the history of cold weapons wars.
There are all kinds of wonderful strategies, and it is not even rare to win the most with few
But in fact, most wars are still the hard truth. Whoever has more people wins, and whoever has better weapons wins. Only when these factors are similar is the other factors. After all, the cluster effect is very obvious.
If you have more than a few times, your combat power will definitely increase by more than a few times. You can defeat 20,000 people with less than 10,000 people, but you are almost impossible to defeat 100,000 people.
But in this case, it would be very troublesome for Duan Ye. Obviously, he only has one county in Dunhuang now. With the manpower and material resources of one county in Dunhuang, it would be a very difficult thing to seize Liangzhou, even if he won it
Liangzhou, if you want to use the territory of a mere state to capture the world, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to do.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, in order to unify the world, in addition to having opportunities and certain social backgrounds, sufficient talents and a strong army, geographical factors are also very important. Not all places can be regarded as the dangers of mountains and rivers in the base area.
The strength of the pass is very important
Although the old saying has long said, "It is dangerous to rely on but not to rely on" determines everything. In the final analysis, it is still the people's hearts or whether they stand on the trend of history. However, history is rising in a tortuous way and moving forward, and there will always be many things.
At chance moments, such as a horse's sole may cause a horse's hoof to stumble, and a horse's sole may throw the horse's hoof to stumble down and cause death. If coincidentally, the knight may be a king, and the king's
Death may lead to the rise and fall of a country
But from the beginning, in fact, everything is still the same horseshoe. But not doing the horseshoe well is not necessarily a conspiracy, nor is there necessarily a historical necessity, but it is likely that it is just a blacksmith who is in a bad mood for the moment.
From Duan Ye's perspective, there is actually no choice to choose Liangzhou. If he wants, he is actually more willing to choose other places, such as Jiangnan and Hebei. Many places are OK, but when he appears
, In Liangzhou, everything is almost a must
It certainly makes sense to say that. In fact, very early on, the shrewd strategists in this mysterious country had long discovered that if fighting for the world was compared to playing Go, the mountains and rivers of the entire country would be like Go.
The chessboard, and as we all know, the beginning is very important when playing Go. The principle of gold horns, silver edges, grass belly is also applicable in fighting for the world.
Then it's like a move, on this irregular Go board, Guanzhong, Hebei, Southeast and Sichuan are its four corners, Shanxi, Shandong, Hubei and Hanzhong are its four sides, and the Central Plains are its central hinterland.
Although the world is so large that these places account for not much of the area, the decisive role played in wars in the past dynasties was mainly because the above nine regions were generally under these places. The princes wanted to achieve their careers.
They all started from here, not anywhere else
The reason why these places can play a decisive role is that practice and history have repeatedly proved that the importance of these places is almost certainly related to the unity and division of the world, the rise and fall of generations, or, in the Central Plains
The war between the regime and the nomadic peoples outside the border region is related to the existence and demise of the Central Plains regime
The old saying goes, "mountain and rivers" can be easily formed only in places where mountains and rivers can be dangerous and rivers can be circulated. The principle is very simple. With mountains and rivers, they can block the enemy's attack and can be surrounded.
Mainland that is suitable for development, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is most suitable for being the capital
Of course, for the ruling, the strategic significance of mountains and rivers is the same. The significance of mountains lies in obstruction, and the importance of having a channel to pass; the significance of rivers is in circulation, and the importance of having a stronghold to guard.
If you have mountain dangers, you can easily establish a base in a chaotic situation, form local order, and accumulate strength; if you have rivers and waterways that can flow, it will be easy to send strength to the outside, expand outward, and intervene in the above nine strategies above.
Most of the lands have these conditions. Further, just like playing Go, the normal starting order often takes the corner first, then the edge, and finally compete for the middle abdomen. If most princes can successfully capture the world, look back, it will be normal.
It started from Guanzhong, Hebei, and Jiangnan, but started from Sichuan, but could only control one side and could not compete for the world. The only hope is that Gongsun Shu, who has peace and harmony, has missed opportunities because of his own personality flaws.
Lost the opportunity
Of course, the person Duan Ye admired most when he was a teenager was Wu Qingyuan. He played Go directly from Tianyuan and could win repeatedly. So, in the final analysis, it depends on who will play this chess, and in fact, in history,
There are really people who can still seize the world after starting from Henan, but there are not many examples like this, because the difficulty is too great
But for Duan Ye, his location is very embarrassing. Liangzhou where he is located has many mountains and ridges, but there are almost no big rivers, but there are many deserts. Not to mention anything else, just
From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is very unlucky
In addition, although Liangzhou was very rich in this era, it was not a place that the princes of the Central Plains valued, and it did not belong to the important places mentioned above. Logically speaking, there was no chance to win the world.
It is difficult to even divide the country, because Liangzhou is a corridor that runs northwest and southeast, and there is no room for maneuver. If you feintly attack Liangzhou from Guanzhong, you will almost win.
So Duan Ye is actually very clear that even if he can seize Liangzhou by relying on all kinds of luck, it is impossible to get to the next level. The best result is to learn from Dou Rong and take himself and the military and civilians of Liangzhou.
Sell for a good price, but Duan Ye has spent so much effort to come from that distant era, but don't have such a result
If you want to be the biggest official, if you want to do it, you will do the biggest thing. Duan Ye not only wants Liangzhou, but also the world.
The most important thing in conquering the world is the army. Duan Ye has begun his huge plan. He has the confidence and confidence to build his army into the most powerful army in the world within three years.
The key now is how he builds the army and how to obtain three years
