At this time, Mao Sui said to the king of Chu: "We came to ask you to send reinforcements today, but you didn't say a word, but you should not forget that although Chu has many soldiers, it has been defeated and fought many times, and even the country has been lost." In my opinion, Chu needs to unite against Qin more than Zhao! " Mao Sui's words convinced the king of Chu and immediately promised to send troops to help Zhao.

When Ping Yuanjun returned to Zhao, he said with emotion: "When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, Chu was more important than Jiuding Road." Jiuding Dalu: Together with Ding, it is a treasure of an ancient country. )

Get out of the way, tuēbēsān shě

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Zhong Er. When Zhong Er heard the news, he fled the State of Jin and forgot about it for more than ten years.

After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with state gifts and regarded him as a distinguished guest.

One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er, and the two chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful women are waiting for you, precious silk, and you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather, and even more in Chu. What rare items does Jin Wang have? " The king of Chu said, "Your son is too modest. Having said that, you should show me something? " Zhong Er replied with a smile, "Thanks to you. If I can really return to China to be in power, I would like to get along well with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. "

Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule.

In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it.

Quench thirst by thinking of plum-masturbating with illusory hope

One summer, Cao Cao led his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. The weather is unusually hot, the sun is like fire, and there is not a cloud in the sky. The troops walked on the winding mountain road, and the dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked, the marching speed slowed down, and several weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road.

Cao Cao was worried that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and that the fighter plane would be delayed. However, at present, tens of thousands of people can't even drink water. How can we speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly, "Is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It's a long detour. " Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a moment, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at the moment, it would not help. A brainwave, the solution came. He grabbed the horse by the stomach and quickly rushed to the front of the team. Pointing at the front with a whip, he said, "Soldiers, I know there is a large area of Merlin in front, where the plums are big and delicious. Let's hurry around this hill and get to Meilin! " Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to eat it in their mouths, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and their pace could not help but accelerate a lot.

The story comes from a false prophecy in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. The idiom "looking at plum to quench thirst" is to comfort yourself or others with fantasy.

Stealing a clock to plug your ears-deceiving yourself.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo, a nobleman of the State of Jin, was defeated. Someone took the opportunity to steal from Fan's house and saw a big clock hanging in the yard. This clock is made of exquisite bronze with exquisite shapes and patterns. The thief was very happy. He wanted to take this beautiful clock home. But this clock is big and heavy, so it cannot be moved. There is only one way he can think of, and that is to break the clock and move home separately.

The thief found a big hammer and threw it at the clock desperately. There was a loud bang, which startled him. The thief panicked and thought, this is bad. Isn't this noise equivalent to telling people that I stole the clock here? In desperation, he jumped on the bell and tried to cover it with open arms, but how to cover it? The bell is still echoing in the distance.

The more he listened, the more afraid he became. He withdrew his hands freely and covered his ears hard. "Hey, the bell is getting smaller and I can't hear it!" The thief was very happy. "wonderful! You can't hear the bell if you can't cover your ears! " He immediately found two cloth balls to plug his ears, thinking that no one could hear the bell. So I let go and hit the bell. When the bell rang, it spread loudly to far away places. People heard the bell rush in and caught the thief.

The story comes from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Self-knowledge. "Stealing a clock" is described as "stealing a clock", which is a metaphor for covering up stupidity and deceiving others.

He said, "Wealth does not return to his hometown, but it is like walking at night. Who knows." This statement hit the nail on the head and revealed Xiang Yu's concept of "returning home with clothes and honoring his ancestors". As the saying goes, "Good people are rewarded". Although Xiang Yu has the traditional thoughts of China ancients, he also has the ambition of "being the emperor", and he has always been a lonely tragic hero in eight years of bloody fighting.

In order to fulfill the wish of reunifying China, Fu Jian led 800,000 troops to the south. The ministers of the Jin Dynasty were very scared when they heard the news. Only the Prime Minister Xie An was very calm and unhurriedly arranged the war.

draw cakes to allay hunger

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Lu Yu in the state of Wei. He became an orphan at the age of ten, and his two brothers died one after another. During the war, he worked hard to support his widowed sister-in-law and nephew, and his life was very difficult. He was praised by people for his personality and knowledge.

Later, Lu Yu became an official. He has been an honest official for more than three years and put forward many good suggestions. Wei Mingdi trusts him very much.

At that time, officials were generally recommended by people, and referees often only recommended famous people. Most of these celebrities only pay attention to empty talk, not to reality, and flatter each other, which makes Wei Mingdi very dissatisfied. When selecting Zhong, he ordered: "This selection should be recommended by Lu Yulai. Don't just look at reputation when choosing people. Being famous is like drawing a cake on the ground, but you can't eat it! "

The idiom "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" comes from this story. Nowadays, this metaphor is often used to comfort yourself with fantasy, or to show that a false name is useless. There is also an idiom "looking at plums to quench thirst", which has a similar meaning.

This fable vividly illustrates a truth from the opposite side: we can only do bad things with good intentions without proceeding from objective reality.

Work as skillfully as a skilled butcher cuts the carcass of a cow-do sth very skillfully/professionally.

An expert who knows cows was later used by Zhuangzi to describe the fable of keeping in good health.

From Zhuangzi. In other words, "being good at understanding cows" is actually a word created by Zhuangzi.

On this day, my technical workers were invited to Wenjia to slaughter a beef cattle for him. I saw that his hands pressed the cow, his shoulders rested on the cow, his feet stepped on the cow, and his knees rested on the cow. His movements were extremely skilled. When he stabbed the butcher's knife at the cow, the sound of meat peeling from the bones and muscles matched the movements of a skilled worker like me when carrying the knife, which seemed so harmonious and beautiful. When he butchered cattle, his movements were like dancing on the Shang Tang-era music Sanglin, and his voice when he untied cattle was in tune with Yao Le's Jingshou.

Wen, who stood by, was shocked. He couldn't help exclaiming loudly, "Oh, it's amazing! How can your skill in slaughtering cattle be so superb? "

When asked, my technical worker quickly put down the butcher knife and said to Wen, "I prefer to explore the laws of things because it is better than ordinary technical skills." When I first learned to slaughter cattle, I saw a huge cow because I didn't understand the body structure of the cow. After I slaughter cattle for three years, I will fully understand the structure of cattle. When I look at the cow again, what appears in front of me is no longer a whole cow, but many detachable parts! Now that I have slaughtered many cows, I just need to feel them with my heart, not with my eyes. I know where to cut cattle and where not. According to the natural structure of cattle, I can skillfully pierce the knife directly into the gap between the bones and muscles of cattle, and use these gaps to make the butcher knife not be damaged at all. Since I can't even touch the flesh-and-blood part, let alone this big bone. A skilled chef, because he cuts meat with a knife, usually changes a knife every year; And more chefs cut bones with knives, so they have to change a knife every month. My knife has been used for 19 years and killed more than a thousand cows, but the blade is as sharp as if it had just been sharpened on a grindstone. Why is this? Because there are cracks in the joints of cattle, and the blade is very thin, so I insert the thin blade into the cracks in the bones of cattle, which naturally looks generous and comfortable. So my 19-year-old knife is still like a new one that has just been ground. Nevertheless, whenever I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, it is often difficult for me to start. At this time, I should be especially vigilant, keep my eyes open, slow down and use less force. When I find the key part, I can cut the cow open with one knife and spread it on the ground like dirt. After killing the cow, I stood up with a knife and looked around. I can't help feeling complacent and carefree. Then I clean the knife and put it in the scabbard for next use. "

Wen Huijun listened to my words and nodded again and again, as if he realized something: "Well, after listening to your good words, I learned a lot about cultivation!" "

This story tells people that everything in the world has its inherent regularity. As long as you practice with your heart and keep exploring, over time, practice makes perfect, and things will be done very beautifully.

Think children are smart and doubt your neighbors.

There was a rich man in the state of Song. It rained heavily and the wall of his house was broken. The rich man's son said, "If you don't build it, thieves will steal it." The old man next door said the same thing. At night, the rich really lost a lot of things. As a result, the rich man thought his son was very clever, but he suspected that the old man in the neighborhood had stolen from his family.

The moral of this story is that emotional closeness and alienation often lead to misunderstanding.

Then he lit up 65,438+10,000 troops to move on, ready to destroy Xu State in one fell swoop. The younger brother of King Chu Ling gave up the disease, which was not only poor in quality, but also ambitious. He doesn't want to be just the leader of this small place-Cai Guo, so he is often unhappy. Miracle has a consultant named Wu Chao. This man is very calculating. On this day, he tried to say, "Since Wang Ling left this country with his troops, this country must be empty. You might as well take your troops back to China at this time, kill Wang Ling's son, establish a new king, and then let you decide the affairs of the court. Is there a problem with being king in the future? " Hearing Wu Chao's words, Miracle led the army back to Chu, killed the son of the Elf King, and made Woods, another son of his brother, king. On the way to the conquest, King Chu Ling heard that the country had changed and his son was killed by his younger brother. Suddenly, he shuddered. Thinking that living in the world was meaningless, he hanged himself. Knowing that King Chu Ling was dead and abandoned his illness at home, he immediately threatened Ziwu to commit suicide and became king on his own. He is the infamous King Chu Ping. & ltBR & gt Another story is that Jin Xiangong dotes on Li Ji and does everything she says. Cheating Ji proposed to make her youngest son king of Qi. Jin Xiangong readily promised to kill the former prince and his own son Shen Sheng. Li Ji has done these two things, but she still feels uneasy because Jin Xiangong has two sons, Zhong Er and Yiwu. At this time, both sons have grown up, which is a great threat to the future succession to the throne of Qi, so she suggested killing Heyiwu and readily agreed. But when their plot was discovered by an honest minister, they immediately told Zhong Er and Yiwu. When they heard about it, they immediately took refuge abroad separately.

Commenting on these two things, the author of Huai Nan Zi said: "It is unwise to listen to the bad guys and let the father and son kill each other like cutting their toes to suit the size of their shoes."
