Do Legalists lack strategic thinking?

Perhaps my understanding of "lack of strategic thinking" is not accurate enough. I disagree with the lack of strategic thinking on the part of the Sayists. For example, the Shang Dynasty, the system of cultivation and warfare is to educate the soldiers in the people, and since then the Qin State has been strong; Strengthen the centralization of power and reform the field system.

Although the punishment is severe, how can it be said that the above reforms do not have strategic thinking? The strategic intent is that of a country or a group, and the different academic ideas are about how to achieve it, otherwise it cannot be reused. The short life of the Qin Dynasty is directly related to the strict punishment and strict law, but the strict punishment and strict law are not all short-lived.

All dynasties were a combination of Legalism and Confucianism, and one family could not govern it. If you are short-sighted, both Confucianism and law are short-sighted.

If Cao Cao killed Mi Heng in order to eliminate dissidents, then why did Liu Biao Huangzu kill him, which emperor would tolerate his subordinates being so presumptuous.

The words of Mr. Wang Honghua's family, so do I. The final judgment depends on oneself, and others are just references.

Talking about deception is complete nonsense. How can it be said that Cao Cao belongs to the Legalists? It is also deduced that the Legalists have no strategic thinking, Cao Cao is the greatest strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, how can it be said that Chibi lost the first battle and said that he did not have strategic thinking?

This comment is a complete joke. I don't think he's that stupid and wants to cause an argument. The study of the Three Kingdoms is no longer an academic but a fashion, and has become the most convenient tool for grandstanding under the academic brand.

I believe that true academics nowadays are dismissive.

It seems that the Legalists do not have strategic thinking, and in essence, they are fishing for the best of their resources. Why bother to bring up some unrelated examples from the three countries.

You compare Confucianism and Legalism.

If only Confucianism could make China strong.

I believe that no one will resist the 54 Movement, especially if you understand the Confucianism advocated by Dong Laoda.

Cao Cao's Strategic Goals:

Cao Cao hoped to use Sun Quan to attack Liu Bei, so that the Sun and Liu families would lose both. Then the rest of the family, Cao Cao can easily eliminate him on the benefit of the fisherman. If this strategic goal is achieved, Cao Cao will be able to occupy Jiangnan and at the same time basically achieve the lofty goal of unification.

Cao Cao was not lacking in strategic thinking. On the contrary, Cao Cao's strategic thinking is too ambitious, so it is not easy to really realize it.

Besides, Cao Cao has something to do with the Fa family. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is related, it can't be judged that the Legalists lack strategic thinking just because of Cao Cao alone!
