In the spring of the 10th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, the army of Qi attacked the state of Lu. Duke Zhuang of Lu is going to fight. Cao GUI asks to see Duke Zhuang. His countryman said, "a senior official will plan this. Why do you need to participate?" Cao GUI said: "people who are high officials are short-sighted and can't be far sighted." So he went to the court to see Zhuang Gong. Cao GUI asked Zhuang Gong, "what do you use to fight against Qi? Mr. Zhuang replied, "food and clothing are things that I don't dare to enjoy on my own. I must give them to others." Cao GUI said: "this kind of small favor does not spread to every people, they will not follow you to fight." Zhuang Gong said, "I dare not exaggerate the livestock, precious jade and silk for flower sacrifice. I must be faithful and honest." Cao GUI replied: "this kind of small letter is not enough to make ghosts and gods trust, ghosts and gods will not bless." Zhuang Gong said: "although we can't make a clear report of all cases, we must deal with them reasonably." Cao GUI said, "it's a manifestation of doing our best for the people. We can fight against Qi with this. Please let me go with you in the war. " Zhuang Gong and Cao GUI were in the same chariot, fighting with Qi army in Changshao. Zhuang Zhengyi wanted to drum his way into the army, but Cao GUI said, "no way." The Qi army has already hit three drums. Cao GUI said, "we have sent troops." The Qi army was defeated, and Duke Zhuang was ready to drive after it. " Cao GUI said, "not yet." He got out of the car and looked at the marks on the wheels of the Qi army. Then he got on the car and supported Che Shi. He looked at the Qi army and said, "we can pursue it." So he began to pursue the Qi army. After the Lu army won the battle, Duke Zhuang asked Cao GUI why he won. Cao replied, "it's all about courage. At the first drumming, the soldiers summoned up their courage. At the second drumming, their courage declined. At the third drumming, their courage was exhausted. When the enemy's courage is exhausted, our courage is strong, so we will win. It's hard to predict the use of troops by big powers. I'm worried that they will set up ambush. Later, I saw that their wheel marks were very messy, and I saw their flag fall, so I went to pursue them. " Cao GUI can be regarded as an excellent strategist. The reason why he won is not to fight and rush, but to use strategy and wisdom, which is particularly praiseworthy. During the war, a good strategist is worth thousands of soldiers. Although he didn't have the bravery of the soldiers, the courage of the soldiers, and didn't fight in the battlefield, he was able to overcome the strong with softness, win the strong with weakness, and win the big with small by virtue of wisdom. wisdom is like water. Water is invisible and seemingly weak, but it accumulates invisible power in the invisible and weak. When encountering danger, it can make a detour. When the accumulated power reaches a certain level, it can form a trend to break all obstacles. No wonder Confucius said, "wise men enjoy water.". They are very similar in appearance and characteristics: to overcome the visible with the invisible, to avoid the strong enemy with the flow of change, and to defeat the masculine with the weak. the preference for water in Chinese tradition has become the traditional wisdom, which emphasizes the feminine characteristics of overcoming hardness with softness in the struggle between yin and Yang. This is a very interesting cultural phenomenon. Traditional wise men, strategists, and even may not have the power to wield swords and swords, but they can devise strategies. In the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops, they play the role of director, guiding the battlefield and deploying troops. It can be said that the souls in a war are the delicate and elegant strategists. It is their competition of wisdom that determines the outcome of the war. Another interesting thing is that traditional military strategists do not command battles by virtue of their life and death experience on the battlefield, but by reading and reasoning to accomplish their missions. It seems that they lack actual combat experience because they haven't fought in person. However, the wisdom they have accumulated from reading and reasoning is enough to enable them to grasp, predict and determine the whole process of war from the aspects of the balance of strength, people's feelings, psychological state, geographical environment, climatic conditions and so on. This is inconceivable to Western militarists who advocate practical experience, but it is quite natural to us. countless wars in Chinese history have proved that successful examples are masterpieces of the wisdom of the literati. They carefully directed one play after another, and then let the soldiers who played the role in the play perform.
