Disciples

Chapter 81

Original
Don't practice hard, but learn literature;
If you are flashy, who will you be?

I only know how to bury my head and work hard, but I don’t know how to practice it personally.If things go on like this, you can only make yourself flashy, so what will you do for yourself?

allusion
Zhao She and Lian Po were both well-known generals of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period.

Once, Qin State sent troops to invade again.At that time, Zhao She had already passed away, and Lian Po was already old.But he was in charge of commanding the whole army, so he adopted the method of protracted warfare.Qin Jun knew that General Lian Po was far-sighted, so he spread rumors everywhere, saying: "The Qin Jun is actually most afraid of Zhao Kuo, and the other Zhao Jun generals don't care." He was very dissatisfied with the quick decision of the battle. Hearing such rumors, he believed them to be true and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po.Zhao Kuo is familiar with military books, but he can only talk about military affairs on paper.

However, the king of the state of Zhao chose Zhao Kuo.Qin Jun designed to cut off Zhao Jun's grain transportation route first, and surrounded Zhao Jun.The siege lasted more than 40 days.At this time, the only way to cut off Zhao Kuo's food and grass was to break out of the siege. Unexpectedly, he was shot to death by the Qin army, and Zhao Kuo's army of more than 40 was wiped out.
