Idiom story

Story 1: Sima Huafei of the state of song has three sons: Huaqu, huaduoliao and Huadeng. When Hua duoliao was trusted by the king of song and yuan, he often spoke ill of his two brothers in front of him. After he was forced to flee abroad, he framed Huaqu in front of Yuangong, saying that he intended to accept the fugitives. The Duke of the song and Yuan Dynasties could not stand the repeated provocation of many Chinese officials, so he sent someone to inform Hua Feizhu to expel him. Hua Feizhu knew that Hua duoliao had done this, and he wanted to kill him. But he had to carry out Yuan Gong's order, prepare to ask Hua Qu to hunt, and then send him away. Hua Qu realized that this was a bad thing done by Hua duoliao. He wanted to kill him, but his uncle's father was sad and decided to flee. Before leaving, Huaqu planned to say goodbye to his father. Unexpectedly, I met many Chinese officials in the imperial court. For a moment, he killed Hua duoliao with his attendants, and summoned the fugitives to rebel against the state of song. Duke yuan asked Wu Zhiming of Qi to help guard the city. In the winter of this year, the fleeing Huadeng led an army of the state of Wu to support Huaqu's attack on the state of song. Seeing that Walden's team was about to arrive, a doctor named Zi said to Wu Zhiming: "there is a saying in the military annals: attacking the enemy first can destroy the enemy's local atmosphere; attacking the enemy later will wait for their morale to collapse. Why not attack while Walden's army is tired and unstable? If the enemy has arrived and stabilized, there will be more of them, and then we will be too late to repent. " Wu Zhiming followed Pu's advice. As a result, the Allied forces of song and Qi defeated Wu and captured two generals. Story 2: Han Xin follows the advice of Li zuoche, the emperor of Guangwu, and sends envoys to the state of Yan. When the state of Yan hears the news that Han Xin defeated Zhao, it immediately surrenders. The letter asked Guangwu, "if you want to attack Yan in the north and Qi in the East, how can you be meritorious?" Guangwu Jun said, "when I hear about a defeated general, I can't be brave. When I hear about a conquered doctor, I can't survive. It's not enough to do great things with the power of the defeated officials today! " The letter said: "the servant heard that Bai Li Xi lived in Yu and Yu died. In Qin Dynasty, he was the master of Qin. He was not stupid in Yu but wise in Qin Dynasty. He could use it or not, and he could listen or not. If you believe in it, you will be a bird. I don't need a foot, so I have to wait on my ears. " Yingu asked: "the servant's intention is to plan, so don't leave." Guangwu Jun said: "when I hear that wise people worry about everything, they will lose something; when a fool worries about everything, they will gain something. Therefore, it is said that "a sage chooses what a madman says.". He was afraid that his plans might not be enough, but he was stupid and loyal. The husband Cheng'an had a plan to win every battle. Once he lost it, his army would be defeated and he would die. Today, the general waded into the Xihe River, captured the king of Wei, and went down to Jingxing in one fell swoop. He did not end up destroying 200000 people of Zhao Dynasty and killing Cheng Anjun. It's famous in the world. Farmers are always ploughing, cleaning up their clothes and eating. They are ready to wait. If this is the case, the general's chief will be the same. But it's hard to use it. Today, the general wants to raise a tired and corrupt army. He wants to fight under the strong city of Yan. He is afraid that he will not be able to pull out his strength for a long time. If Yan and Qi hold a stalemate, Liu Xiang's power is not divided. If so, the general is short. I think it's too much to steal when I'm stupid. Therefore, those who are good at using troops do not attack the long with short strokes, but attack the short with long strokes. " Han Xin said, "but why?" Guangwu Jun said to him, "now I'm a general. I don't think it's as good as a truce. I'll treat Zhao to his loneliness. Within a hundred Li, when the day comes, I'll have a drink. I'll serve the scholar bureaucrats and soldiers. I'll head to Yanlu in the north, and then I'll send the debaters to give me a letter. I'll expose his strong points to Yan. Yan has already obeyed, so that the noisy speakers will tell Qi in the East. Qi will obey the wind. Although there are wise men, they don't know what to do for Qi. If so, everything in the world can be mapped out. It's also called "the soldier who has the first voice and then the real one." Han Xin said, "good." According to its strategy, Yan was sent to make it popular. He sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty to make Zhang Er king of Zhao to pacify his country. Xu Zhi, the king of Han Dynasty, made Zhang Er king of Zhao.
