关于《尉缭子·兵令下》篇杀士卒一句中“杀”字的寓意,古今学界有过多种训释,主要有“诛杀士卒”、“减省士卒”和“使士卒甘愿战死”等多种解释。这些说法表面上言之成理,但若结合本篇上下文句、成书的历史背景以及当时的战争情况来看,明显与尉子的本意相去甚远。通过考察尉缭所生活的时代背景、战争中人员战损情况与后勤保障等,认为此处“杀”字应理解为“对敌方士卒的杀伤”。 There are many explanations for the word “kill” in the sentence of “Death of Wei Liaozu Bingxun”. There are many explanations and interpretations in ancient and modern academic circles, such as “killing soldiers”, “saving soldiers” And “make the soldiers willing to die” and other interpretations. These statements are ostensibly reasonable, but if we combine this context with the history of the book and the circumstances of the war at that time, it is obviously far from the original intention of Wei. By examining the background of the life of Wei Liao, war loss and logistical support, we think that the word “kill” should be understood as “killing the enemy soldiers”.
