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 to meet Duke Zhuang of Lu. His fellow countryman said, "The big officials will plan this. Why do you participate?" Cao Gui said: "Big officials are short-sighted and cannot be far-sighted." So he went to North Korea to see Duke Zhuang of Lu. Cao Gui asked Duke Zhuang of Lu, "Why are you fighting with Qi?" Duke Zhuang of Lu said, "You can't have clothes and food for yourself, but you must give them to others (close ministers and relatives)." Cao Gui said: "This kind of small kindness can't spread to everyone, and ordinary people won't listen to you." Duke Zhuang of Lu said: "I never dared to falsely report the number of sacrifices. I must be honest and trustworthy. " Cao Gui said, "This is only a small contribution. If you can't convince the gods, God will not bless you. " Lu Zhuanggong said: "Even if you can't see through the details, you should judge according to the facts." Cao Gui said: "(This) is a matter of due diligence, and we can fight a war with this condition. If you want to fight, please allow (me) to follow. " 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 to check the car prints of Qi Jun, and then climb on the crossbar in front of the car to see Qi Jun.. (Only) said, "We can pursue it." So I chased the Qi army. After the defeat, Duke Zhuang of Lu asked the reason for winning. Cao Gui replied, "It takes courage to fight. The first drum beating can inspire soldiers' courage, the second drum beating weakens their courage, and by the third drum beating, their courage has dried up. The enemy's morale was low and our morale was high, so we defeated them. Qi is a big country, so it's hard to guess (its intention) for fear of an ambush. I saw that their car prints were chaotic and the military flag fell, so I agreed to pursue them. "

The following is the story background:

This war took place in the tenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu (684 BC), and it was the second war launched against Lu after he ascended the throne. Two years ago, Qi Huangong (son Xiaobai) and his younger brother Miyako fought fiercely for the throne. However, Sun Ignorant (his cousin) who usurped the throne has been killed, and Qi has no monarch for a while, so Gong Zijiu who took refuge in Lu and his son who took refuge in Ju rushed back to Qi. Duke Zhuang of Lu supported Gong Zijiu, personally led an army to escort Gong Zijiu back to Qi, and sent Guan Zhong to intercept and assassinate his son Xiaobai. However, Lu's plan failed, and his son unexpectedly ascended the throne first. After Qi Huangong acceded to the throne, he immediately counterattacked Lu Jun. The two armies fought in Qi, and Qi Lu Sheng was defeated. Taking advantage of people's danger, he coerced Lu to kill Gong Zijiu. Although Qi Huangong consolidated his authority in his brother's blood. But he has always held a grudge against Lu, so he sent troops to attack Lu again in the spring of the following year and took military revenge and punishment. The place of the battle was Lu's gourd ladle, so it is called the gourd ladle battle in history. As a result, the weak Lu defeated the invading powerful Qi State.
