@iamXAW Dud, China's EASTERN. Why would a class on WESTERN history teach about the EAST.

[iamXAW]

@metalspoon60 You're Welcome! Very bias western educational system I think.

Or the Chu of 30,000 against a force of 500,000 - 600,000 Hans and the Hans was massacred by the Chu until the river run with Hans blood.

Or how Han Xin use "Four Side Chu Song" to disband Xiang Xu force without fighting.

@iamXAW Thank you!!!!

[iamXAW]

Yet around the same time Xiang Yu of the Chu led a army of 20,000 against the Qin 300,000 and won, but yet never even mention in western education. Um .......

26:15...

Again... Sun Tzu.

"When able to attack the enemy, we must seem unable..."

He goes on to say: "All warfare is based on deception. When we are near the enemy, we must make him believe we are fare away, when far away, we must make him believe we are near."

He puts huge emphasis not just on the fighting itself... but all of the small intricate actions a skillful general can do prior to fighting in order to make it impossible for their enemy to win..

(Continued from prior post...)

The truth was, Hannibal wanted a chance to fight Rome in fields he chose. He could have fought Skippio but he was not giving himself the best chance of success. Unlike the other battles where he was familiar with the terrain, and could use it to his advantage, this fight with Skippio would have been a toss-up. Even at 5-1 numbers.

It was wiser to deny Rome battle where Rome was prepared to meet them, and then draw Rome elsewhere to fight where he was waiting.

People have asked:

"If Hannibal's tactic was to fight, why did he go around the Roman army presented by Skippio towards the Alps?"

This show does a great job of presenting that Hannibal needed to collect auxiliary support by drawing other tribes to his banner. Another reason however is a very basic principle of Sun Tzu.

"The skilled general brings his enemy to the battlefield and is not brought by him."

The truth was, Hannibal wanted a chance to fight Rome in fields he chose.

TBC.
