In the spring of ten years, Qi attacked me and the public will fight. The king asked to see Lord Zhuang. His fellow countryman said, "People in power will plan this. Why do you want to participate?" ? ""Those in power are short-sighted and unable to think deeply, "Cao Gui said." Then they went to the court to see the duke. "What are you fighting for?" Cao Gui asked. Zhuang Gong said, "I never dare to know what to eat and wear. I must give it to the ministers around me." Yes: "Gui ③ is not embarrassed, and the people are obedient. Zhuang Gong said, "I never dare to exaggerate the number of pigs, sheep, jade articles, silks and so on. I must tell God the truth." . Cao Gui said: "Mix has no credit and cannot be trusted by the gods. The gods will not bless you." . "."Zhuang Gong said, "Even if you can't see all the litigation cases in Mix, I must be based on facts." Yes: "Loyalty belongs to you. You can go to war. Please follow the war. " On that day, Qi Huangong and Cao Gui sat in a chariot and fought with Qi Jun in Beidou. Zhuang Gongzheng wants to order drums. "Not now," said Cao Gui. "Wait until after Qi Jun drummed three times. Cao Gui said, "You can play the drums. "."Qi Jun was completely defeated. Their duke ordered the horse to be chased by the horse. "Not now," said Cao Gui. Then he got off the chariot, looked at the tracks of Qi Jun's wheels, climbed on the chariot, supported the front railing of the chariot and looked at Qi Jun's formation, and said, "We can pursue. "."So, the pursuit of Qi Jun was pursued. After winning, the king asked him why he won. He said: "It takes courage to fight. High spirits, then decline, three exhausted. I am tired, I am surplus, so I will overcome it. Great powers are unpredictable and fearful. I regard it as chaos and look at its flag, so I chase it. "

In the spring of the tenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, the Qi army attacked the state of Lu in China, and Duke Zhuang of Lu wanted to fight. Cao Gui asked Zhuang Gong to be interviewed. His fellow countryman said, "The big officials will plan this. Why do you participate?" Cao Gui said: "Big officials are short-sighted, so they can't think ahead." So he went to the court to see Zhuang Gong. Cao Gui asked Duke Zhuang, "Why are you fighting with Qi?" Zhuang Gong said: "Food and clothing are the things that make people's lives stable. I dare not possess them alone. I must give them to others. " Cao Gui said: "This kind of small kindness can't spread to the people, and the people won't listen to you." Zhuang Gong said: "I never dared to falsely report the number of cattle, sheep and jade used for sacrifice. I must be honest and trustworthy. " Cao Gui said: "This sincerity is hard to convince, and God will not bless you." Zhuang Gong said: "Although we can't understand all the cases clearly, we must handle them reasonably." Cao Gui said: "This is to do one's duty (to the people), and we can go to war on this basis. Please allow me to go with you when fighting. "

Duke Zhuang of Lu and Cao Gui are in the same car. Fight the Qi army in the spoon. Duke Zhuang was about to beat gongs and drums and March. Cao Gui said, "Not now." After the Qi army beat the drums three times, Cao Gui said, "You can beat the drums and move forward." The Qi army was defeated. Zhuang Zhengyi wanted to order the pursuit and said, "Not yet." (Say that finish) Get off the bus and look at Qi Jun's car print, then climb the crossbar in front of the car to look at the army shape. (Only) say, "We can pursue." So I chased the Qi army.

After the battle was won, Duke Zhuang of Lu asked the reason for the victory. Lu Xu replied, "Fighting depends on courage. The first drum can inspire soldiers' courage, the second drum weakens, and the courage disappears until the third drum. The enemy's courage has disappeared, but our courage is developing vigorously, so we defeated them. Qi is a big country, and it is difficult to find out. I am afraid of an ambush. I found that their car prints were chaotic and the military flag fell, so I ordered the pursuit. "
