Cao Gui defeated the Qi Army in the Battle of Piao.

In 685 BC, Qi Huangong worshipped Guan Zhong as emperor and entrusted Guan Zhong to manage the country. One day, Qi Huangong asked Guan Zhong, "I like hunting, drinking and color. Will these prevent Qi from dominating the princes? " Guan Zhong replied: "No." Qi Huangong asked again: "What else will hinder the hegemony?" Guan Zhong replied, "I don't know sages. I know sages don't employ them, but they don't trust them. If there is, it will be a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, which will hinder hegemony. "

From then on, Qi Huangong only appointed Guan Zhong to handle state affairs, honoring Guan Zhong as "Guan Zhong". No matter what the politics of Qi State is, tell Guan Zhong first, and then tell me. When Duke Zhuang of Lu heard that the State of Qi worshipped Guan Zhong as Prime Minister, he was furious: "I regret that I didn't listen to Shi Bo and killed Guan Zhong first." Duke Zhuang of Lu reviewed the chariot and prepared to plan a crusade against Qi.

Qi Huangong heard about it and asked Guan Zhong; "I want to crusade against lu. What does Guan Zhong think? " Guan Zhong replied: "Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and his mind is undecided, and the army is not ready. Please don't make a scene. " Qi Huangong didn't listen, so he appointed Bao as a general and led the army to attack Lu Changshao.

Duke Zhuang of Lu asked, "Qi is cruel to others. How can we resist? " Shi Bo said: "I recommend one person to resist the Qi army."

Duke Zhuang of Lu asked, "Who does Ai Qing recommend?" Shi Bo said, "I know Cao Cao and live in seclusion in Dongping. He is not an official, but he is talented. " Duke Zhuang of Lu ordered Shibo to summon Cao Gui. Cao Gui smiled and said, "You meat eaters didn't pay attention. Have you come to summon me, a grass eater, to make suggestions? " Shi Bo also smiled and replied: "If people who eat grass have strategies, they can eat meat in the future."

In the past, eating meat was strictly restricted. Only nobles, officials and privileged classes can eat meat, while ordinary people can only eat vegetarian food. Shi Bo took Cao Gui to see Duke Zhuang of Lu. Duke Zhuang asked, "How can we defeat the powerful State of Qi?" Cao Gui replied: "When leading troops to fight, we need to improvise according to the battlefield situation. You can't predict in advance. I am willing to follow my master to win the battle. "

Duke Zhuang of Lu took Cao Gui and led an army to Piao. Bao saw that Duke Zhuang of Lu was leading an army to battle, and he was also ready to fight. So did Duke Zhuang of Lu, and the two armies confronted each other. Because Bao had defeated Lu Jun, he had the heart of underestimating his enemy and ordered the drums to go forward. Duke Zhuang of Lu heard the drums of the Qi army deafening, and he also ordered the drums to meet the enemy. Cao Gui stopped ZhuangGong and said; "The morale of the Qi army is booming, so we have to wait and see." Duke Zhuang of Lu ordered the three armies not to make noise, and those who made noise were beheaded. The three armies lined up for battle.

Ice cream attacked the Lu army camp, but he didn't expect the Lu army camp to be like an iron bucket. The impact didn't move, so he had to retreat. After a while, the drums of the Qi army started again, and they continued to attack the Lu army for the second time. Lu army continued to be as ready as an iron drum, and Qi army retreated again. Bao Shu Ya ordered: "Lu Jun is afraid that we will win the third charge." Once again, the Qi army drummed into the sky, ready to charge. When Cao Gui heard the third drum beat of the Qi army, he said to Duke Zhuang of Lu, "It's time to defeat the Qi army. Please ask your master to order the drums to go forward. "

It was the first time that Jun Lv drummed and charged, and it was also the third time. When Qi Jun saw that Lu Bing didn't move twice before, he thought that he didn't dare to fight with ice cream and was absent-minded. Who knows the drums suddenly, lujun was killed by momentum, be defeated and flee. Just as Duke Zhuang of Lu was about to order the pursuit, Cao Gui said, "Wait a minute, master. I'll go and have a look. " Got off the bus, looked at the alignment, boarded the bus and looked. After a while, he said to Duke Zhuang of Lu; "You can chase it now."

Duke Zhuang of Lu led the army to chase the Qi army for more than 30 miles, seized countless prisoners from the trench and returned with a great victory. Duke Zhuang of Lu asked Cao Gui, "Why did Ai Qing wait for the Qi army to beat drums three times before sending troops to win the first world war?" Cao Gui replied, "War is based on morale. Those with high morale win, and those with low morale lose. Drumming is to boost morale. The first drum beat was full of morale, the second began to weaken, and the third failed. If I don't beat drums, I will improve the morale of the three armed forces. Qi played drums three times, and our army played drums for the first time, so we won. "

Duke Zhuang of Lu asked again, "The Qi army has already retreated. Why doesn't Ai Qing simply stop pursuing it? " Cao Gui said, "The Qi people are treacherous and fear an ambush. I can't believe I ran away after the first defeat. I later observed that when the Qi army retreated, the wheels were vertical and horizontal, and there was no discipline, indicating that the morale of the army was chaotic; I saw that their flags were untidy and they were eager to escape, so I ordered the pursuit. " Duke Zhuang of Lu said, "Ai Qing really knows how to fight." Cao Gui was appointed as a doctor.
