Koguryo, an ancient northern minority in China, was a famous military general in the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi was born into a gatekeeper's family. My father, Gao Sheji, first joined the army as a general in Hexi (referring to Hexi Corridor and Huangshui River Basin), and later made meritorious military service, ranking four towns, ten generals and generals. Gao Xianzhi is handsome, good at riding and shooting, brave and resolute, but he is still worried about his "slow Confucianism". He was executed in 756.
Gao Xianzhi was a famous military general in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty. He guarded Anxi and contributed to the safety of Tangxi. His strategy of retreating to Tongguan and temporarily avoiding the enemy's front is conducive to preventing the rebels from advancing westward into Chang 'an. However, due to the frame-up of eunuchs, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was partial to hearing and believing, which led to his physical death, which was regrettable. In addition, Gao Xianzhi also has serious problems in dealing with ethnic relations. Gao Xianzhi was also responsible for the loss of Tang Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions.
Gao Xianzhi lived in the most prosperous period in the history of China. Judging from Gao Xianzhi's expeditions (especially the two marches on the Pamirs), he showed superb command art and rich military thoughts.
Military thoughts:
1, long-range attack, and operational guidance for split and combined attack. During the Xuanzong period, the long-distance attack on the battlefield in the western regions was a major feature, and all parties led by Tang and Tubo (now the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) often adopted this kind of operational guidance, among which Gao Xianzhi was the best. Whether attacking Xiao Bolu, the exhausted division, the stone country, the sudden application, and the big food, the marching distance ranges from hundreds to thousands. Not only that, Gao Xianzhi's March is often hidden, which is even more surprising. And when approaching the destination, Gao Xianzhi will attack the enemy by converging attack. For example, when Gao Xianzhi attacked Fort Li Anyun, in view of the dangerous terrain of Fort Li Anyun, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In order to avoid the siege of Fort Li Anyun, the soldiers divided into three ways and strategically surrounded Fort Li Anyun, thus winning World War I..
2, superb art of mountain marching. In the Sino-foreign war, there were many excellent mountain marches, such as Hannibal, Napoleon, suvorov and other western famous soldiers all had similar feats. However, Gao Xianzhi is the only one who can command the army to complete the marching task perfectly twice in the extremely harsh environment of Pamirs. This is mainly due to Gao Xianzhi's full preparation: in terms of logistics support, Gao Xianzhi has made full preparations. Due to the difficulty in supplying aid on the plateau, Gao Xianzhi asked Tang Junbing to ride a private horse to deliver supplies to Gao Xianzhi, which ensured that the logistics supply could be guaranteed within the specified time. On the marching route, Gao Xianzhi also made a careful choice. The first is to decide to cross the Pamirs in order to achieve the strategic surprise effect. After entering the Pamirs, we chose a flat and wide valley or river to March, thus minimizing the difficulties. On the choice of marching time, Gao Xianzhi also made careful arrangements. Choose the hottest March to 10, so that Tang Jun can avoid marching hard in the cold, so that Tang Jun's military forces will not consume too much physical strength, thus ensuring combat effectiveness. The most commendable thing is that Gao Xianzhi not only considered the time spent in the war, but also considered the time spent in the war and the time spent in returning to the team, so that Tang Jun avoided the cold.
With the first experience, Gao Xianzhi was more handy in the second March, and unexpectedly chose to cross the Pamirs in the coldest winter, once again achieving the effect of surprise attack. Moreover, it took only four months from the fifth day of November in Kaiyuan eight years to the defeat of the country in February nine years, and the art of marching in the mountains has reached a superb level. Mr. Hu introduced the adventure story of Mr. Stein who was sent by Britain not long ago. After inspecting Mr. Gao Xianzhi's marching route in Pamirs 1000 years ago, Mr. Stein commented: "It is the first time in history that a large number of troops pass through Pamirs and Hindu Kush mountains. The mountains are in the sky and there is no supply. I don't know how to maintain the supply of troops at that time. " Even the modern chiefs of staff will be at a loss. "He sighed:" China, a brave general, has gone through thrilling difficulties. Compared with the famous European players, from Hannibal to Napoleon to suvorov, they crossed the Alps several times. "
3. The idea of capturing strategic locations. From storming Ang Lee Castle to taking Anu to cross the city without fighting, from outwitting many evil cities to cutting off the rattan bridge, Gao Xianzhi successively adopted such strategies as surprise attack, chasing after victory, breaking the bridge with false fingers, blocking aid, making the finishing point, and making a quick decision, so as to minimize the casualties in Tang Jun, interlocking in the use of strategies, and taking Gao Xianzhi's side in one go, firmly grasping the initiative in the battlefield and giving the enemy an opportunity.
