草船借箭其实是孙坚最先使用

为什么诸葛亮草船借箭更有名? 黃祖伏弓弩手於江邊,見船傍岸,亂箭俱發。堅令諸軍不可輕動,只伏於船中來往誘之;一連三日,船數十次傍岸。黃祖軍只顧放箭,箭已放盡。堅卻拔船上所得之箭,約十數萬。當日正值順風,堅令軍士一齊放箭。岸上支持不住,只得退走。 Huang Zu hid his archers on the river bank; when they saw the boats approaching the shore, they let loose with a wild flurry of arrows. Jian ordered his troops to take no rash actions, but rather to hide in the hold of the boats. The boats were to advance and withdraw in order to bait the enemy into firing. Over the course of three days, they approached the shore dozens of times. Huang Zu's army thought of nothing else but shooting their arrows; eventually, they exhausted their supply. Jian ordered his men to fish the hundreds of thousands of arrows out of the water. The winds were favorable on that day; Jian ordered his troops to shoot the arrows in unison. The forces on shore could not hold their ground, and had no choice but to withdraw.

春秋时期,行军、布阵、和车战

《春秋·襄公·二十三年》记载了这么一段: 秋.齊侯伐衛. 先驅 .穀榮御王孫揮.召揚為右. 申驅 .成秩御莒恆.申鮮虞之傅摯為右.曹開御戎.晏父戎為右. 貳廣 .上之登御邢公.盧蒲癸為右. 啟 .牢成御襄罷師.狼蘧疏為右. 胠 .商子車御侯朝.桓跳為右. 大殿 .商子游御夏之御寇.崔如為右.燭庸之越 駟乘 . 看着很没趣的一段记载,仔细读其翻译,觉得很有兴味了: In autumn, the marquis of Qi invaded Wey. The van of the army was commanded by Wangsun Hui, with Gu Rong as charioteer, and Shao Yang as spearman. The next column was commanded by Ju Heng, with Cheng Zhi as charioteer, and Fuzhi, [son] of Shen Xianyu, as spearman. [In the centre], Cao Kai was charioteer to the marquis, and Yan Furong was spearman. The supporting force was commanded by Xing Gong, with Shang Zhideng as charioteer, and Lu Pugui as spearman. In the left wing, Xiang Pi commanded, with Lao Cheng as charioteer and Lang Qushu as spearman; in the right, Hou Zhao, with Shang Ziju as charioteer, and Huan Tiao as spearman. The army of the rear was commanded by Xia Zhiyukou with Shang Ziyou as charioteer, and Cui Ru as spearman, Zhuyong Zhiyue being in the same chariot. 齐国出兵,阵势是这样的: 先驅: T...

秦始皇“焚书”,烧的是什么书?

今天读到《左传·襄公九年》有这么一段: “子孔當國.為載書.以位序聽政辟.大夫諸司門子弗順.將誅之.子產止之.請為之焚書.” 只听说过秦始皇的焚书,怎么郑国的子产也焚书呢?这里所说的是“載書”,也就是盟书。那么,秦始皇的焚书,是否也主要为了焚烧盟书?春秋战国时期有那么多结盟,诸侯宗庙肯定藏有许多盟书,那么秦始皇焚书主要是烧“载书”,跟子产一样?

舟中之指可掬

桓子不知所為.鼓於軍中.曰.先濟者有賞.中軍下軍爭舟. 舟中之指可掬 也. 晋军渡黄河与楚军交战,晋军战败,战斗惨烈的程度用“舟中之指可掬”来形容,意思说“船里的断手指多到可以用两手捧起来。”为什么船里被剁下来的手指头这么多呢?原来是晋军内部自相残杀:  Huanzi did not know what he was doing, but ordered the drums to be beaten in the army, crying out, "A reward to those who first recross the river!" The army of the centre and the 3d army struggled for the boats, till the fingers [of those trying to get in, and that were cut off by those who had already got possession] could be taken up with both hands at once. 总指挥桓子下令,先过河的有赏,于是中军和下军互相争夺船只,那些已经上船的军士不让后来的上船,就拿刀砍抓住船沿往船里爬的军士的手指。

孙悟空是不是外星人

大家知道孙悟空没有父母,石头卵吸收天地精华孵化出来的。他有七十二化,能上天入海,最主要的是他的食物,他被如来佛压在五指山下,五百年吃的铁丸子,喝的是铜汁而不是果汁。这就让人有点怀疑他是不是机器人,是外星人投放到地球上的。^_*

阎王为什么要唐太宗送南瓜

唐太宗答应要保护龙王,但是龙王还是被魏征斩首了,所以龙王跑到阎王那里告状,阎王只好派人抓了唐太宗,但是通过魏征得到催判官的帮忙得还人间。唐太宗为了感谢阎王的好意,问他:“朕回阳世,无物可酬谢,惟答瓜果而已。”十王喜曰:“我处颇有东瓜西瓜,只少南瓜。”那么问题是,地狱里为什么南瓜比较少呢? 读到这里,本来以为这跟万圣节的南瓜灯有一点联系,可是查阅所有的资料,说南瓜灯在爱尔兰是用Swede大头菜或者turnip芜菁但个头较大,类似于浙江的盘菜,到了美国才开始用南瓜的。

叙利亚空袭,谁跟谁打?

叙利亚空袭,谁跟谁打? 03 December 2015 11:18 阿萨德政府控制区局限于叙利亚西部,自从俄罗斯空袭以来,收复了一些失地。 土耳其自从 2011 年开始卷入叙利亚内战,对库尔德和伊斯兰国占领的据点进行空袭,同时武装叙利亚自由军。 库尔德包括人民保护部队、库尔德人民党、叙利亚库尔德斯坦安全军。 伊斯兰国控制伊拉克和叙利亚的大片地区,大约有五百万人口。 伊朗一直否认介入叙利亚内战,但是有报道说上百伊朗人进入叙利亚,协助政府军战斗。 沙特阿拉伯是叙利亚反政府军的幕后支持者,包括跟阿尔卡伊达关联的征服军。 英国从 2013 年开始对阿萨德政府军进行军事打击,同时为美国和其盟友提供后勤支援,并武装库尔德人。 美国 2014 年开始打击伊斯兰国、 Jabhat al Nusra 、 Khoorasan 、阿萨德征服军。 自由叙利亚军比较温和,也比较分散,据英国首相说大觉有七万人。 综上所述,欧美俄的共同敌人是所谓的伊斯兰国,但有不同的盟友,俄罗斯支持阿萨德,美英反对阿萨德政府,而作为欧盟一员的土耳其语有自己的利益,故土耳其与库尔德和俄罗斯为敌,同时与欧盟各国有冲突。伊朗武装什叶派,而其他海湾国家支持逊尼派穆斯林势力。 阿萨德政府: Asad Regime 自由叙利亚军: Free Syrian Army 伊斯兰国: ISIS 政府军: The Army of Conquest 什叶派军阀: Shi'ite Militias 库尔德军阀: Kurdish Militias 叙利亚土库曼支队: Syrian Turkmen Brigades 真主党: Hezbolla 人民保护部队: the People's Protection Units(YPG) 库尔德人民党: Kurdish People's Party(PKK) 叙利亚库尔德斯坦安全军: Se curity Forces of Syrian Kurdistan Jabhat al-Akrad Sent from Mail for Windows 10
