Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, the state of Qi attacked the states of Lu and Wei. In order to help the state of Lu and Wei, the state of Jin sent Ke to lead the army of Jin, join the army of Lu and Wei, and enter the territory of Qi. There was a very brave general in the Qi army named Gao Gu. As soon as the two armies met, Gao Gu drove a chariot alone and went straight to the Jin camp, smashing it with big stones. In front of him came a general of the Jin army in a chariot. Gao Gu suddenly threw a big stone at him. The general was unprepared, hit by a stone, seriously injured, and fell on the car. Gao Gu jumped on the other side's chariot and escorted him back to the camp. Gao Gu made a great contribution to the war and wanted to show his prestige, so he tied a mulberry tree behind the chariot and ran around the Qiying camp. As he ran in his chariot, he cheered: "who needs courage, come and buy it! I still have a lot of courage left to sell to others. "
