This idiom comes from "The Story of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei, Guo Family Biography", and the soldiers are very expensive. It is difficult to be interesting to attack people thousands of miles away, and there are many treasures. Moreover, when he hears about it, he must be prepared. I don't know how to leave the trench, but I can show my light and hide my surprise.
Guo Jia was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan (now Yuxian County, Henan Province). He is resourceful and deeply trusted and reused by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao who lived in Hebei, Qinghai and Youzhou, and killed Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao's other two sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan, fled to Taton Khan, the leader of Wuwan clan in Liaohe River Basin. Ta Dun took the opportunity to invade the border of the Han Dynasty, destroying the normal production and life of people in the border areas. Cao Cao was determined to conquer Yuan Shang and Tower Shield. Some officials worry that Liu Biao of Jingzhou will take the opportunity to send Liu Bei to attack Cao Cao's rear after the expedition.
Guo Jia analyzed the situation at that time and said to Cao Cao, "You are now dominating the world, but 50,000 people are in a remote place, so you can't guard against it. A surprise attack will surely destroy them. If we delay the opportunity, let Yuan Shang and Yuan catch their breath, and then collect the remains, all ethnic groups in Wuwan will respond, and Tadun will have ambitions, and nothing is that Jizhou and Qingzhou will not belong to us again. Liu Biao is an empty talker, knowing that he is not as talented as Liu Bei, and he will not reuse Liu Bei, nor will Liu Bei reuse it, nor will he make more contributions to Liu Biao. So just rest assured that you will expedition to Wuwan and there will be no worries. "
Cao Cao then led the army out. After arriving in Yixian (now Hebei Province), Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, "It's expensive to fight quickly. Now to fight thousands of miles away, there are many munitions and the marching speed is slow. If Umaru people knew about our army, they would be prepared. It is better to leave heavy ordnance materials, light troops, advance at double speed, and attack when the enemy is unprepared, and you can win a great victory. "
According to Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao marched quickly and arrived at Khan's compound on the tower pier. Umaru people fought in a panic and suffered a crushing defeat. Tower shield was killed, Yuan Shang and Yuan fled to Liaodong, and were killed by Sun Kang, the satrap.
The idiom "Last Battle" means to fight to the death. Back water: back water is no way out.
In 204 BC, Han Xin and Zhang Er, the generals of Hanwang and Liu Bangpai, led the Han army to attack Zhao. Zhao Wang and Chen Yu, commander-in-chief of Zhao Army, led 200,000 soldiers and horses and gathered at Jingxingkou to prepare for the battle.
Li Zuoche, the counselor of Zhao, gave an idea: "I have an idea. There are mountains on both sides of Jingxingkou, and the roads are narrow, making it difficult for cars and horses to pass. We send 30,000 people to cut off their grain wagons by the side road, and you command the army to block the Han army head-on, and set the city wall high so as not to engage the Han army. As a result, the Han army could not get in, could not retreat, and had no food and grass, so it became a turtle in the jar. I don't see how we can catch Han Xin in ten days.
However, the Prince of Zhao did not take Li Zuoche's advice.
Han Xin was very happy to learn that Li Zuoche's plan had not been adopted. He assembled his troops more than 30 miles away from Jingxingkou. After midnight, Han Xin sent two thousand hussars, each holding the red flag of the Han army, around the back of Zhao Ying from the path and ambushed. They were ordered to attack Zhao's camp, take down Zhao's flag and plant all the red flags of the Han army. Han Xin sent ten thousand troops as a pioneer, arrayed along the river bank.
When people saw Han Xin put the military forces in the hinterland, they all laughed that he was a fool and didn't know how to fight, so he led Zhao desperately. When two thousand light soldiers of the Han army saw that Zhao Jun's whole battalion was out, only one empty battalion was left. They immediately broke into Zhao Ying, pulled out Zhao Qi and put on Han Qi. Han Xin pretended to retreat and retreated to the riverside position.
Zhao chased the Han army to the riverside position, and the Han army chased it with no retreat, all desperately. But Zhao Jun was invincible for a long time, and his morale began to decline. He found that the flag of the Han army had been planted in his barracks, and the morale of the army immediately went into chaos and fled everywhere. The Han army took the opportunity to attack before and after and broke the Zhao army.

Zu Ti and Liu Kun, both from the Western Jin Dynasty, were cheerful and brave people with lofty ideals. When I was young, I not only wrote well, but also enjoyed practicing martial arts and keeping fit, determined to serve my country. At that time, the rulers still ruled the central plains on the surface, but in fact they were already at home and abroad. When Zu Ti and Liu Kun talk about the domestic situation, they are always generous and often talk about it late at night.
One day, Zu Ti and Liu Kun were very excited. Liu Kun didn't know when he fell asleep, but Zu Ti was immersed in the excitement of the conversation and couldn't sleep for a long time. "Oh, oh, oh-"The rooster crowed in the wasteland, and Zu Ti jumped up and kicked Liu Kun: "Listen, how excited the rooster crowed! Get up and practice sword! " So the two men picked up swords and danced on the high slope. Since then, when they hear the first call every morning, they must come to the wasteland to practice their swords.
Liu Kun was deeply moved by Zu Ti's patriotic enthusiasm and determined to devote himself to his ancestors. In his letter to his family, he wrote: "In times of national crisis, I often' wait for death' (sleeping till dawn with my arms on my pillow), determined to serve my country, and often worried about falling behind Zu Ti and not letting him surpass me! ……"
This story comes from Biography of Jin Zu. "Waiting for a Pill" is from Liu Kun's "Friends and Relatives", which vividly shows Liu Kun's determination to kill the enemy and serve the country at any time. Later, it was used as a metaphor to always be alert to the enemy and prepare for battle.
