After reading it, King Wu said, "I've read all your 13 art of war. Can you try my army?" Sun Wu said yes. The king of Wu asked again, "is it OK to test with women?" Sun Wu also said yes. So the king summoned 180 beauties to train Sun Wu. Sun Wu divided them into two teams, with the two concubines favored by the king of Wu as the team leader, and told each of them to carry a long halberd. After the procession was ready, Sun Wu asked, "do you know how to turn forward, backward, left and right?" The women soldiers said, "I know." Sun Wu said: "look forward at my heart; look left at my left hand; look right at my right hand; look back at my back." The women soldiers said, "I see." So Sun Wu's mission was to move out the iron Yue (the ancient instrument of torture used to kill people), and repeatedly applied to them. Then he beat the drum and gave the order to turn right.

It's the fault of the captain and the soldiers to give a clear account and not obey orders. " Then he ordered his entourage to push out the two captains and behead them. The king of Wu was sitting on the high platform watching with great interest when he saw the two concubines being taken out and beheaded. He never dreamed that Sun Wu would be so serious, so he immediately sent someone to intercede with Sun Wu and said, "I already know that the general is very good at using troops. But if I don't have these two concubines, my food will be tasteless. Please don't kill them. " Sun Wu said: "the general is outside, even if it is the king's order, sometimes you can not obey." He resolutely beheaded the two concubines and appointed two other maids as the team leader. The palace maids were very afraid. When Sun Wu ordered again, all the palace maids practiced neatly and seriously, and did not dare to take it as a joke any more. The king of Wu also had to admire Sun Wu's talent. Soon after, Sun Wu reported to King Wu, "the army has finished training. Please review it. You can command them as you like, even if you order them to go through fire and water, you won't disobey them. " Because of the loss of his two favorite concubines, King Wu was regretting it. He said angrily, "go back to the hotel and have a rest. I don't want to review it." Sun Wu was a little dissatisfied and sighed, "the king just appreciates my military theory, but he doesn't support my practice." However, the king of Wu finally appreciated Sun Wu's outstanding military ability, and later appointed him as a general to command Wu's army and defeat Chu '. this story originated from the biography of Sun Tzu Wuqi in historical records. Later, people extended sun's repeated explanation to women soldiers as "repeated orders", which means repeatedly admonishing people. For example, the government of a certain place has repeatedly warned food stores to keep food clean and hygienic so as not to damage the health of customers. We can say that the government has "repeatedly ordered" food stores to keep food clean and hygienic, as we all know. What are "three orders" and "five orders" in "three orders and five orders"? In Song Dynasty, Zeng Gongliang wrote the book "general principles of Wujing", which recorded the specific meaning of repeated orders. "Three orders", one is to observe the enemy's plan, see the road, know the place of life and death; the second is to listen to the golden drum, see the banners, so as to match the ears and eyes; the third is to hold the axe and Tomahawk, so as to suit the punishment. "Five shens": one is to reward and punish with one mind; the second is to see the separation and combination with one way; the third is to draw battle array banners; the fourth is to listen to fire drums in night fighting; the fifth is to listen to the irreverence with axe and Tomahawk. In fact, it is to educate officers and men that they should make clear the operational principles in war and military operations. It is now used to indicate repeated orders or admonitions. “
