An old horse knows the way

In the Spring and Autumn Period of Guan Zhong, Duke Huan of Qi’s Prime Minister and Xixi Peng followed Yu Huan and cut down the lonely bamboo. Spring turned to winter, and they were confused and lost their way. Guan Zhong said: "The wisdom of the old horse can be used." He let the old horse go and followed him, and he achieved the Tao.

In the vernacular, Guan Zhong and Xi Peng followed Duke Huan of Qi to conquer the Guzhu Kingdom. They set out in the spring and returned victoriously in the winter. They lost their way when they returned home. Guan Zhong said to Duke Huan: "Old horses have the ability to recognize roads, you can use them." He selected a few old horses and put them in front of the team. The team followed the old horses and finally found the way back home.

Retreat to three homes tuì bì sān shě

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Xian of Jin believed the slander and killed the prince Shen Sheng, and sent people to capture Shen Sheng's younger brother Chong'er. After hearing the news, Chong'er escaped from Jin and lived in exile for more than ten years. After many hardships, Chong'er came to Chu State. King Chu Cheng thought that Chong'er would do great things in the future, so he welcomed him with the courtesy of a country and treated him like a distinguished guest. One day, the King of Chu hosted a banquet for Chong'er. The two drank and talked in a very harmonious atmosphere. Suddenly the King of Chu

asked Chong'er: "If you return to Jin one day and become the king, how will you repay me?" Your Majesty, you have plenty of precious silks, poultry feathers, ivory and animal skins, which are abundant in the Chu land. How can the Jin Kingdom offer any rare items to your Majesty? "Chu?" The king said: "Young master is too modest. Although you say so, you should still show me something, right?" Chong'er smiled and replied: "If it is thanks to you that I can return to my country and take charge, I am willing to be friendly with your country. If one day there is a war between Jin and Chu, I will order the army to retreat three hectares (one hectare is equal to thirty miles). If I still cannot get your forgiveness, I will fight with you again." Four years later, Chong Erzhen returned to Jin and became the king, the famous Duke Wen of Jin in history. The Jin State became increasingly powerful under his governance. In 633 BC, the armies of Chu and Jin met in battle. In order to fulfill his promise, Duke Wen of Jin ordered the army to retreat ninety miles and stationed in Chengpu. When the Chu army saw the Jin army

retreating, they thought the enemy was afraid and immediately pursued them. The Jin army took advantage of the Chu army's weakness of being proud and underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces, defeated the Chu army, and won the battle of Chengpu.

The story comes from "Zuo Zhuan·The Twenty-Two Years of Duke Xi". The idiom "to retreat" means not to fight with others or to take the initiative to give in.

Sleeping on fuel and tasting courage

King Helu of Wu defeated Chu and became the overlord of the south. The State of Wu and the nearby State of Yue (whose capital is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province today) have never been at peace with each other. In 496 BC, King Gou Jian of Yue came to the throne. King Wu took advantage of the fact that the Yue Kingdom had just suffered a funeral and sent troops to attack the Yue Kingdom. Wu and Yue

A great war broke out between the two countries in the area of ​​槜李 (now southwest of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, 槜音zuì).

King Helu of Wu thought he could win the battle, but unexpectedly he lost the battle and was seriously injured by an arrow. In addition, he was old

and returned to Wu. The country died.

After King Wu Helu died, his son Fucha came to the throne. When Helu was about to die, he said to Fucha:

"Don't forget to avenge the country of Yue."

Fucha remembered this instruction and asked people to remind him often. As he passed the palace gate, his men shouted at the top of their lungs: "Husband

Cha! Have you forgotten the King of Yue's revenge for killing your father?"

Fu Chai said with tears. : "No, I dare not forget."

He asked Wu Zixu and another minister Bo Pi (pǐ) to train their troops and prepare to attack Yue.

Two years later, King Wu Fu Chai personally led an army to attack Yue. There were two very capable officials in the State of Yue, one was named Wen Zhong, and the other was named Fan Li (lí). Fan Li said to Gou Jian: "Wu has been training its troops for almost three years. This time it is determined to take revenge, and the coming force is fierce.

We might as well defend the city and not fight them."

Gou Jian disagreed. , also sent a large army to fight to the death with the Wu people. The armies of the two countries fought in the Great Lakes area. As expected, the Vietnamese army was defeated.

The Yue King Gou Jian took 5,000 remaining defeated generals and fled to Kuaiji, where they were besieged by the Wu army.

Gou Jian was at his wits end. He said to Fan Li: "I regret that I didn't listen to you and got into this situation. What should I do now?"

Fan Li said: "Let's go and seek peace as soon as possible."

Gou Jian sent Wen Zhong to King Wu’s camp to sue for peace. Wen Zhong explained Gou Jian's willingness to surrender in front of Fu Cha. King Wu

Fu Chai wanted to agree, but Wu Zixu firmly opposed it.

After Wen Zhong returned home, he found out that Bo Pu of Wu State was a greedy and lustful villain, so he gave a group of beauties and treasures to him privately

Bo Pu, please Bo Pu Speak well in front of Fu Chai.

After some persuasion by Bo Pi in front of Fu Chai, King Wu Fu Chai ignored Wu Zixu’s objection and agreed to Yue’s request for peace, but

Gou Jian was required to go to Wu in person.

Wen Zhong went back to report to Gou Jian.

Gou Jian entrusted the state affairs to Wen Zhong and took his wife and Fan Li to the state of Wu.

When Gou Jian arrived in the state of Wu, Fu Chai asked the couple to live in a stone house next to Helu's big tomb, and asked Gou Jian to feed his horses.

Fan Li followed and worked as a slave. Every time Fu Chai went out in a carriage, Gou Jian would pull his horse for him. After two years of this, Fu Chai thought that Gou Jian had sincerely submitted to him, so he let Gou Jian return home.

After Gou Jian returned to Yue, he was determined to avenge himself. He was afraid that the comfort in front of him would weaken his ambition, so he hung a piece of gall in the place where he ate. Every time he ate, he would taste the bitter taste first and asked himself: "Have you forgotten the shame of Kuaiji?" "?" He also removed the mat and used firewood as a mattress. This is what later generations recited: "Lie on firewood and taste courage."

Gou Jian decided to make the country of Yue rich and powerful. He personally participated in farming and asked his wife to weave her own cloth to encourage production. Because

the Yue Kingdom suffered a disaster and its population was greatly reduced, he formulated a system to reward childbirth. He asked Wen Zhong to manage national affairs, and asked Fan Li to train people. He humbly listened to the opinions of others and helped the poor people. People all over the country are eager to work harder

so that this oppressed country can transform into a powerful country.

One of the thirty-six strategies is "Encircle Wei and save Zhao", which says: "It is better to divide the enemy than to defeat it, and it is better to defeat Yin than to defeat Yang." This means that instead of attacking a concentrated enemy, try to disperse it and attack again. It is better to attack the enemy with strong momentum first than to attack the enemy with strong momentum later.

"Historical Records. "The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi" is about the Battle of Guiling between Qi and Wei during the Warring States Period. In 354 BC, King Hui of Wei wanted to relieve his old hatred of Zhongshan, so he sent General Pang Juan to attack. Zhongshan was originally a small country in the north of Wei State during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that was conquered by Wei State. Later, Zhao State took advantage of Wei State's funeral and occupied Zhongshan. Wei general Pang Juan thought that Zhongshan was just a small place and it was very close to Zhao State. Attacking Handan, the capital of Zhao State, not only relieved old grudges but also gained two birds with one stone. The King of Wei, feeling delighted that his hegemony had begun, dispatched 500 chariots with Pang Juan as general, went straight to the State of Zhao and surrounded Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao. King Zhao had no choice but to ask for help from Qi State in desperation, and promised to give him Zhongshan as a gift after the siege was rescued. King Wei of Qi agreed and made Tian Ji a general, and appointed Sun Bin, who had been rescued from the state of Wei, as a military advisor to lead the troops. Sun Bin was once a classmate of Pang Juan, and he was very familiar with the art of military use. The king of Wei hired him with a lot of money. At that time, Pang Juan was also serving the state of Wei. Pang Juan felt that his ability was not as good as that of Sun Bin, and he was afraid that Sun Bin would be better than him, so he mutilated Sun Bin with poison, cut off his feet and tattooed his face, in an attempt to make Sun unable to walk and ashamed to see others. Later, Sun Bin pretended to be crazy. Fortunately, he was rescued by Qi envoys and fled to Qi. This is an old story about Pang Juan and Sun Bin.

When Tian Ji and Sun Bin led their troops into the border area of ​​Wei and Zhao, Tian Ji wanted to go straight to Handan of Zhao State, but Sun Bin stopped him and said: "You can't fight with your fists to untie the knotted silk ropes, and you can't participate in the fight to break up the fight." To fight and settle disputes, you must grasp the key points and take advantage of the weakness. The two parties can naturally separate due to constraints. Now the elite troops of Wei State are pouring out from the country. If I attack Wei State directly. Pang Juan will definitely return to the army to rescue him, and then the siege of Handan will be resolved on its own. If we ambush Pang Juan on his way back, his army will be defeated. Tian Ji followed the plan. Sure enough, the Wei army left Handan and was ambushed and fought with Qi in Guiling on the way back. The Wei troops were exhausted from the long journey and were defeated. Pang Juan reluctantly collected the remaining troops and returned to Daliang. The Qi army was victorious and the siege of Zhao was lifted. This is the famous story of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" in history. Thirteen years later, the armies of Qi and Wei met on the battlefield again, and Pang Juanfu fell into an ambush by Sun Bin. Knowing that he was out of ideas and defeated, he committed suicide. Sun Bin became famous in the world with this name, and his military skills were passed down from generation to generation.

"Talking on Paper" comes from "Historical Records·Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru". During the Warring States Period, Zhao She, the general of the State of Zhao, once defeated the invading Qin army with a small number and defeated a large number. He was promoted to Shangqing by King Zhao Huiwen. He had a son named Zhao Kuo, who had been familiar with military books since he was a child and loved to talk about military affairs. Others often couldn't speak well of him. Therefore, he is very arrogant and thinks he is invincible. However, Zhao She was very worried about him, thinking that he was just talking on paper, and said: "Zhao will not use him as a general in the future. If he is used as a general, he will definitely cause Zhao Jun to fail." "Sure enough, in 259 BC, the Qin army invaded again, and the Zhao army persisted in resisting the enemy in Changping (near today's Gaoping County, Shanxi). Zhao She had passed away by then. Lian Po was responsible for commanding the entire army. Although he was old, he was still very capable in fighting, making it impossible for the Qin army to win. Qin State knew that procrastination would be detrimental to itself, so it implemented counterintuitive tactics and sent people to Zhao State to spread the word that "the Qin army is most afraid of Zhao She's son, General Zhao Kuo." King Zhao was deceived and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. Zhao Kuo thought he was good at fighting, and he followed the provisions in the military book. After arriving in Changping, he completely changed Lian Po's battle plan. As a result, more than 400,000 Zhao troops were annihilated, and he himself was shot to death by an arrow from the Qin army.

Liu Rushun of the Ming Dynasty wrote a poem based on this famous historical story, including the sentence "The government and the public still praise the soldiers on paper." Later, people extended the idiom "talking on paper" to describe empty talk about dogma but inability to solve practical problems.

Rise up

During the rule of the Qin Dynasty, the country's population was only 20 million, but they were drafted to build the Great Wall, guard the development of the south, build the luxurious Epang Palace, build the tomb of Qin Shihuang, etc. , in total, the Communist Party used as many as two to three million people, and consumed an unknown amount of manpower and financial resources.

The burden on the people is too heavy, and their lives are very miserable.

In 209 BC, the local official of Yangcheng (southeast of Dengfeng County, Henan Province) sent two officers to escort 900 migrant workers to Yuyang (southwest of Miyun County, Beijing City) for defense. They are in a hurry every day for fear of missing the date. Because the laws of the Qin Dynasty were very strict, if you missed the deadline, you would be beheaded.

When these people walked to Daze Township (southeast of Su County, Anhui Province), they encountered continuous heavy rain and the road was flooded and impassable. They had to stop and wait, watching the time pass day by day.

One of the migrant workers named Chen She secretly discussed with his friend Wu Guang: "This place is thousands of miles away from Yuyang. No matter how far we go, we can't meet the deadline. Are we going to die in vain?" "Wu Guang said: "Let's escape." Chen She said: "No, if you escape and are caught, you will die anyway. It is better to rise up and rebel. Even if you die, it is worse than dying in vain. The people will suffer the consequences of the Qin Dynasty. Enough. I heard that Qin II was the youngest son, and his brother Fusu should be the emperor. And Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, was a hero. In the name of Fusu and Xiang Yan, we called on the people of the world to fight. Second, the people of Chu will definitely come to help us."

So Chen She called everyone together and said: "A man cannot die in vain. He must die to make a name for himself as a prince or general. Is it destined?"

Everyone agreed and unanimously elected Chen She and Wu Guang as leaders. Nine hundred people occupied Daze Township at once, and they took the banner of "Chu State". Neighboring farmers heard the news and responded one after another. Without weapons, they chopped wooden sticks to make knives and guns, and whittled bamboo to make flagpoles. The team quickly grew. In history, this was called "rising up the pole."

This rebel army captured Chen County (Huaiyang, Henan Province). Chen She was supported as the "king" and his national title was "Zhang Chu".

Led by this rebel army, people from all over the country killed officials one after another in response to the uprising, and the storm swept through most of China.

However, because the rebel army's front line was too long and their orders were not unified, they failed after only three months due to the fierce counterattack of the Qin army and were isolated and helpless. Chen She was also killed by the traitors. . But the anti-Qin fire started by them burned everywhere, leading to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Burn the cauldron

In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, due to the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, farmers all over the country revolted one after another. In 208 BC, the two armies of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu met, and they jointly elected the grandson of King Huai of Chu to be King of Chu. The military power was greatly shaken. At this time. Countries such as Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Han that were originally destroyed by Thailand also took the opportunity to resume their uprisings and formed an anti-Qin alliance with Chu. Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, hurriedly sent troops to various places to suppress it. Qin general Zhang Han led an army of 200,000. Attacked the State of Zhao and besieged King Zhao in Julu. The State of Zhao hurriedly asked for help from the State of Chu. The king of Chu then sent Song Yi as the commander-in-chief. Xiang Yu was the second general and led troops to rescue Zhao. But Song Yi was not in a hurry to save Zhao.

He planned to let Qin and Zhao both lose in the fight, and then attack and win to preserve their strength. He marched slowly with the troops and arrived at Anyang. He also stopped and rested for 46 days. Xiang Yu was very anxious. Song Yi was repeatedly persuaded to rush to Maolu to attack Thailand, but Song Yi refused. In anger, he killed Song Yi and seized military power. He sent Lian Bu and Pu General Ju to lead 20,000 troops and horses across the surging Zhang River. He went straight to Julu and fought with the Qin army, but only won a small victory. With Zhao Guo's repeated requests for support, Xiang Yu led his entire army across the Zhang River, preparing for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

Xiang Yu saw many Qin soldiers and horses. Morale is high. To defeat the powerful Qin army, we must come up with a good strategy. So he ordered the soldiers to dig through all the ferries and sink them to the bottom of the water; he also smashed all the cooking pots used by the marchers, and each person took three days' worth of dry food with him. Under such circumstances, there is no way to retreat and there is not much food. If we do not defeat the enemy, there is only death. The officers and soldiers of the Chu army were excited and encouraged each other. Everyone moved forward desperately with the determination of advancing to survive and retreating to death.

When two armies meet, the brave one wins. Although the Qin army had a large number of troops, it could not withstand the Chu army, which was determined to die. After several fierce and bloody battles, the Qin army finally collapsed. This is how Xiang Yu used the "burning the cauldron and sinking the boat" method to stimulate morale and defeat powerful enemies.

Enlightenment

People use the metaphor of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat" to describe a firm determination to advance without retreating. When achieving a certain career, you should understand that whether you are studying or working, it is like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. Only by constantly making progress and sprinting towards the goal unswervingly can you achieve final success.

Convention in three chapters

The pinyin of the idiom "Contract in three chapters": yuè fǎ sān zhāng

The allusion of the idiom "Contract in three chapters": originally refers to making a law and making an agreement with the people to abide by it. Later, it generally refers to the conclusion of simple terms.

The origin of the idiom "three chapters of agreement.": "Historical Records: The Benji of Emperor Gaozu": "The agreement with the father and elders is made in three chapters; the murderer will die, and the injury and theft will be compensated." "Hanshu Criminal Law Chronicles": "When Emperor Gaozu first entered the customs, he made a three-chapter agreement."

Use the idiom to make a three-chapter sentence: We solemnly discussed with the foreman when to submit the manuscript, when to proofread it, and when to put it together.

(Zou Taofen's "Experiences·Various Embarrassments")

Besieged on all sides

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to use the east and west sides of the divide (in the Jialu River in today's Rong County, Henan Province) as the boundary to prevent mutual infringement. Later

Liu Bang followed the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping and felt that Xiang Yu should be eliminated while he was weak, so he joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Liu

Jia to pursue Xiang Yu who was heading east. Xiang Yu's troops bound for Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu)

Finally, several layers of troops were deployed and Xiang Yu was tightly surrounded by Gaixia (in the southeast of today's Lingbi County, Anhui). At this time, Xiang Yu had very few soldiers and no food. At night, he heard the troops surrounding him singing the folk songs of Chu Di.

He couldn't help but be very surprised and said: "Has Liu Bang already obtained the forbidden land?

Why did his troops Why are there so many people from Chu inside?" He said that he had lost his fighting spirit, so he got up from the bed, drank wine in the tent, and sang with his favorite concubine Yu Ji. After singing, I burst into tears. The people around me were also very sad and couldn't hold their heads up. After a while, Xiang Yu mounted his horse, took the remaining 800 cavalry, and broke out from the south to escape. While escaping

while fighting, he went to the Wujiang River and committed suicide.

Because there is a plot in this story where Xiang Yu heard the songs of Chu being sung all around him, was surprised, and then failed to commit suicide.

In the future, people will use the phrase "besieged on all sides". Describes a personnel environment in which people are attacked or persecuted from all sides, resulting in a situation of isolation and distress.

The fate of those who fall into this situation is often very tragic. For example, someone often associates with bad people, does nothing to make a living

and is idle; but later breaks those When a bad person is forced to make a living, when he seeks help from others, others should also respond to his daily behavior

If he is too bad, he will never sympathize with him or ignore him. This person is in a situation where he is "embattled on all sides." Another example is when academic issues are discussed in school.

The students are uneducated and have no skills (an idiom meaning no academic skills).

They talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong. The students attack them in groups. This is The students are completely isolated, which can also be called "besieged on all sides." In the course of our lives and in our daily lives, if we behave well and do things down-to-earth, if we make mistakes, we will inevitably suffer the bad luck of being "embattled on all sides".
