Interpretation of the thirty-ninth division of Zhuge Liang's Art of War. General Yuan

Thirty-ninth division

——March to win by strict integration

If you leave the army and march, you will win by integration. If the rewards and punishment are unclear, the laws and regulations are not believed, the money is not enough, and the drum is not advanced, although there are millions of teachers, it is useless. The so-called whole teacher is polite when living, powerful when moving, can't be pushed forward, can't be pushed back, can be connected back and forth, can be left and right, but not with the danger, can not be separated, can be used but not tired.

translation

The key to victory is to maintain the overall combat effectiveness. If the rewards and punishment are not fair, the military laws and regulations cannot be obeyed, the money is not stopped, and the drums are not advanced, even if there are millions of troops, it is of little use. The so-called orderly and consistent army means that the troops are stationed with courtesy, march with great courage, attack with unstoppable force, retreat with the enemy not daring to catch up, the troops echo back and forth, left and right are consistent, and obey the command and dispatch, so there are few dangerous situations. Such a unity of the army, the soldiers have high organizational discipline, can be aggregated but not dispersed, can fight but not make him tired.

analysis

This article discusses the management of our own army and requires that the army be kept "strict". This not only refers to the external aspect, but also means that the formation should be neat, the military appearance should be strict, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the response should be free; What is more important is the internal aspect, which requires strict military discipline, orders and prohibitions, and effective command, so as to form a strong organic whole for the whole army. This really reflects the combat effectiveness of the army.

Extension example

Cao Cao cut invented the military order

Cao Cao led the army out and marched through the wheat field, ordering "soldiers shall not damage the wheat, and they shall be executed in violation of the order." The cavalry all knew that the commander's command was like a mountain, so they dismounted and walked, and some also helped the fallen wheat up. At this time, Cao Cao's horse jumped into the wheat field and destroyed a piece of wheat field. Cao Cao ordered the chief clerk in charge of criminal law to convict himself according to the law. According to the truth recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals, the chief clerk replied, "No punishment can be imposed on noble people." Cao Cao said, "The people who make laws and regulations break the law themselves. How can I command the army well? However, I am the commander of the army and cannot commit suicide. Please allow me to punish myself." So he drew his sword, cut off his hair and put it on the ground instead of the death penalty. In ancient times, people believed that hair was given by their parents and should not be damaged, otherwise it would be unfilial. Cao Cao cut his hair is a severe punishment for himself.

解读《诸葛亮兵法.将苑》 整师第三十九

整师第三十九

——行军以严整取胜

   夫出师行军，以整为胜。若赏罚不明，法令不信，金之不止，鼓之不进，虽有百万之师，无益于用。所谓整师者，居则有礼，动则有威，进不可当，退不可逼，前后应接，左右应旄，而不与之危，其众可合而不可离，可用而不可疲矣。

 旄 mao

译文

　　部队作战以保持整体的战斗力为胜利的关键。如果赏罚不公，军法律令不能信守，鸣金不停止，击鼓不前进，就是有百万大军，也没有多大用处。所谓整齐一致的军队，就是驻扎有礼节，出征有雄风，进攻则锐不可挡，后退则敌人不敢追赶，部队前后呼应，左右一致，服从指挥调度，所以很少出现危险的局面，这样的部队内部团结，士兵有很高的组织纪律性，可以聚合而不能离散、可以战斗而不能使他疲惫。

　　解析

　　本篇文章论述对自己军队的管理问题，要求保持军队的“严整”。这不仅指外在方面，要做到队形整齐，军容严整，进可攻，退能守，应对自如；更重要的还是内在方面，要求军纪严明，令行禁止，指挥通达，全军形成一个强有力的有机整体。这确实是军队战斗力的体现。

　　拓例

　　曹操割发明军令
　　曹操领兵出征，行军经过麦田，下令“士兵不得损坏麦子，违反命令的处死。”骑兵们都知道主帅军令如山，纷纷下马步行，有的还将倒伏的麦子扶起来。这时，曹操的坐骑受惊跃入麦田，踏毁了一片麦地。曹操吩咐掌管刑法的主簿按法给自己定罪。主簿根据《春秋》上所记载的道理回答说：“对于高贵的人不能施用刑罚。”曹操说：“制定法令的人却自己去犯法，怎么能够统帅好部队呢？然而我是军队主帅，不能自杀，请允许我处罚自己吧。”于是，他拔剑割下自己的头发放在地上代替死刑。古时候人们认为头发是父母给的，不能毁伤，否则就是不孝。曹操割发是对自己的严厉惩罚。
