Tell me about the ancient wars in which the Thirty-six Strategies of "The Art of War" were used the most?

The battle that used the most tactics should be the "Battle of Guandu" during the Three Kingdoms period. *** used 6 of the thirty-six tactics. I will analyze them one by one as follows:

First of all, let me correct my friend's question. "Thirty-Six Strategies" is not from "The Art of War". "Thirty-Six Strategies" was completed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the specific author remains to be investigated. "The Art of War" was written by the famous military strategist Sun Bin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is also China's earliest military book. Many strategies in "Thirty-Six Strategies" were summarized and compiled from this book as a guide and reference. Strategy 1: Wait for work at leisure

After Cao Cao learned about Yuan Shao's march south, he made war preparations from the east, west, south and north, waiting for work at leisure and striking first.

East: Send Zang Ba to occupy Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places in Shandong to contain Yuan Shao and prevent Yuan's army from attacking from the east;

West: Cao Cao personally leads the army Guard Yanjin, an important ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and assist the White Horse defenders in stopping Yuan Shao's army;

North: Cao Cao arranged the main force in the Guandu area, digging trenches and building fortresses to block Yuan Shao's frontal attack. The army;

South: The princes in the south have been pacified: Lu Bu in Xuzhou has been eradicated; Yuan Shu in Yangzhou died of illness; Zhang Xiu in Nanyang also surrendered; Sun Ce of Soochow in the south of the Yangtze River was assassinated; Liu Bei rebelled in Xiapi He was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Yuan Shao. Strategy 2: Seize the east and attack the west

The famous "Siege of Baima": In 200 AD, Yan Liang attacked Baima. Cao Cao listened to the advice of counselor Xun You, seduced the east and attacked the west, sent troops to Yanjin, and pretended to attack Yuan Shao's rear. Yuan Shao fell into the trap and sent his troops to Yanjin to stop Cao's army. But Cao Cao just made a feint and quickly sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu with a light cavalry to Baima to attack Yan Liang. In the end, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and lifted the siege of Baima. Strategy 3: Kill with a borrowed knife

Cao Cao used Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, forcing Yuan Shao to kill Liu Bei. Fortunately, Liu Bei was freed in time and said that he could persuade Guan Yu to surrender to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was so happy that he danced and laughed loudly, saying "I have Yun Chang, who is ten times better in appearance and ugly in literature." In this way, Liu Bei escaped the disaster of killing. Although Cao Cao's "killing with a borrowed knife" ultimately failed to kill Liu Bei, he used Guan Yu to kill two of Yuan Shao's top masters, laying the foundation for the final victory. Strategy Four: Hiding a Sword in a Smile

In front of the two armies, Cao Cao invited Yuan Shao to drink tea, used flattering words to get close to him, made Yuan Shao happy, lowered his status, and "begged for peace, begged for peace, begged for peace" to Yuan Shao, and Sending the "Emperor", Xuzhou, and beauties to Yuan Shao made the arrogant Yuan Shao relax his vigilance and arrange his troops secretly. Yuan Shao was boasted by Cao Cao, and he couldn't see through Cao Cao's delaying plan. At noon, when the sun was shining directly on Yuan's army, Cao Cao led his army and took advantage of Yuan's army's laxity to defeat Yuan Shao with a small number and a large number. Strategy 5: Drawing firepower from the bottom of the cauldron

Xu You came to surrender to Cao Cao, which was already drawing firepower from the bottom of the cauldron. Xu You came up with a clever plan. Cao Cao adopted Xu You's strategy when the army had no food. He personally led 5,000 soldiers in disguise and killed Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong with all his strength. He burned all the food, grass and baggage. Yuan's army was shaken. There was an internal split, and at the same time Zhang He and Gao Lan defected to Cao Cao because they were framed. Yuan Shao was defeated and he killed his loyal minister Tian Feng in anger. From then on, he basically no longer had the strength to compete with Cao Cao. Strategy 6: Use bricks to attract jade

After the Battle of White Horse, Yuan Shao sent military general Wen Chou to pursue Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao in Yanjin ordered the cavalry to unsaddle their horses, rest their horses in the direction of the enemy, and place military supplies on the road. Cao Cao's generals saw many enemies coming and asked to guard the camp. Cao Cao's counselor Xun You said: "This is just to lure the enemy into taking the bait. How can we leave?" Wen Chou's cavalry increased in number, reaching 5,000 or 6,000. Sure enough, they were scrambling to grab military supplies. At this time, Cao Cao gave an order, and the cavalry of less than 600 men suddenly launched a counterattack and defeated Yuan Shao's army. Wen Chou was also beheaded by Guan Yu.

The "Battle of Guandu" is one of the most famous battles in history, which determined the ownership of the northern hegemon. It ended with Cao Cao's victory.

In this war, Cao Cao's victory was no accident or luck. The fundamental decisive factor was Cao Cao's strong military command and decision-making ability, and his ability to know people well and make good use of them, which enabled him to win the war of the century. The above analysis only focuses on the main strategies of the "Thirty-six Strategies". There are also "hiding the truth", "taking advantage of the situation", "secretly infiltrating the warehouse", "taking advantage of others" and "playing hard to get", etc., which have the same effect as the above six main strategies.
