Inevitably unfavorable, loss of yin is Yiyang.
To annotate ...
(1) Damage to Yin Yiyang: Yin: This refers to some subtle and local things. Yang, this refers to the overall situation, the overall situation. This means that in military strategy, if the final victory can only be achieved at the expense of some kind of loss or failure for the time being, the commander should make decisive decisions and make some partial or temporary sacrifices in order to preserve or win the overall victory. This is a military strategy based on China's ancient theory of Yin and Yang.
Notes/comments/remarks (by editors or authors)
Our enemies feel differently. Winning a war is rare, and the key to winning or losing, that is, comparing the length, is the secret of winning by short. For example: the enemy is superior to the enemy, the enemy is superior to the enemy, the enemy is inferior to the enemy, and so on: then the unique cunning of a sincere strategist is very reasonable and measurable.
analyse
When the two armies confront each other, there are many situations in which the enemy is superior to our army or evenly matched. If the commander's subjective guidance is correct, disadvantages can often be turned into advantages. The story of horse racing in Sun Bin is well known. Tian Ji won by 2-/kloc-0, although his horses were generally inferior to the other team. However, this method cannot be applied mechanically. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Jun and Zuo Jun were the strongest, followed by Zhong Jun, and the right army was the weakest. Qi prepared Tian Ji for brewing according to Sun Bin's horse racing plan, which Sun Bin thought was impossible. He said that this battle is not to win two games and lose one, but to destroy a large number of enemies. Therefore, the strongest enemy, Zuo Jun, the evenly matched China army and the weakest enemy, the Right Army, were quickly wiped out by the strongest troops. Although the Qi army suffered a partial rout, both the enemy's left army and the Chinese army were restrained, and the right army quickly retreated. Tian Ji immediately commanded the superior army to attack, joined forces with China's army, and defeated the enemy's China army. After his success, three armies joined forces to attack the most powerful enemy, Zuo Jun. In this way, the Qi army formed an advantage in the overall situation and finally won. Li is rigid, that is, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. The genius of command lies in "accounting". The ancients said: "The two benefits are the most important, and the two harms are the least." It is worthwhile to exchange a small loss for a great victory.

Li Jiang, from Yuefu poem: "Peach dew on the well, beside the peach in Li Shusheng, insects come to gnaw at the peach root, Li Shu is stiff, the tree is in the same generation, and the brothers still forget each other?" The original intention is that brothers should help each other and love each other like peaches and plums. When this plan is used in the military, it refers to the strategy of winning a greater victory at a smaller cost when the enemy and I are evenly matched or when the enemy is superior to us. Much like the tactic of "giving up the car to protect the handsome" in chess.
In the late Warring States period, the northern part of the State of Yue was often invaded by Xiongnu, Toad, East Lake and Hu Lin, and the border was restless. Wang Zhao sent general Li Mu to guard the Wild Goose Gate in the North Gate. After Li Mu took office, he slaughtered cattle and sheep every day and rewarded soldiers. He is only allowed to defend himself and is not allowed to confront the enemy. The Huns didn't know all the details and dared not invade rashly. Li Mu stepped up training to save energy. After a few years, the army was stronger than Ma Zhuang and morale was high. In 250 BC, Li Mu prepared to attack the Huns. He sent several soldiers to protect people in border villages from going out to graze. Seeing this, the Huns sent a small cavalry to plunder. Li Mu's soldiers fought the enemy and pretended to be defeated, leaving some people and livestock behind. The Huns took advantage of it and returned home in triumph. Huns Khan thought that Li Mu was a fragile coward because he never dared to leave the city. So he led an army to Yanmen. Li Mu had expected that the arrogant soldier's plan had worked, so he prepared a big pocket for Xiongnu Khan. The Xiongnu army underestimates the enemy and is divided by Li Mu, which makes people panic. Khan was defeated and fled, and the toad kingdom perished. Li Mu won by a narrow margin.
story
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tu'an Gu, a traitor in the State of Jin, encouraged the Duke of Jin to destroy the Zhao family who had worked in the State of Jin. Tu'an Gu led 3000 people to surround the Zhao family and killed all the Zhao family. Fortunately, Princess Zhuang Ji, Zhao Shuo's wife, has been secretly sent to the palace. When Tu'an Gu heard the news, he wanted to kill the princess. Gong Jing, for mutual affection, refused to kill the princess. The princess is pregnant. When Tu'an Gu saw that Gong Jing didn't kill her, he decided to kill her and prepare to kill the baby. The princess gave birth to a baby boy, and Tu'an Gu personally took people into the palace to look for it. The princess hid the baby in her pants and escaped the search. Tu'an Gu estimated that the baby had been smuggled out of the official, and immediately offered a reward for its capture.
Zhao Jiazhong's guest, Gongsun Xujiu, discussed a plan to save the orphan: If I can exchange a baby with the orphan of Zhao, I will take the baby to shouyangshan, and you will tell the butcher to find the fake orphan of Zhao, and then stop looking and save the orphan of Zhao. At this time, his wife was giving birth to a baby boy, and he decided to replace Zhao's orphan with his parents. He righteously persuaded his wife, endured grief and took his son away with a mortar. Cheng Ying told Tu'an Gu as planned. Tu'an Gu quickly led his troops to shouyangshan and found a baby boy wrapped in brocade in the hut where Gong Jiu lived. So the butcher fell down and killed the baby. He thought he had mowed the grass and let his guard down. With the help of Han Jue, a loyal minister, a confidant pretended to be a doctor, went into the palace to see the princess, and secretly took the baby and the medicine box out of the palace. Cheng Ying heard that his son was killed by a meat thief. He fought back his grief and fled to other places with his orphans. Fifteen years later, the orphan grew up and knew his life story. With the help of Han Jue, he killed the thief and got revenge.
It is said that Zhao Daqiu was reported in the newspaper, and Chen's grievance has been settled. He refused to monopolize the wealth and drew his sword to commit suicide. He was buried in a tomb with Gong Jiu, which was later called the "Second Yi Tomb". Their fame has been passed down from generation to generation.

Gua Tian Li Xia

Sister-in-law's uncle doesn't teach in person, and the young and the old are not in the same class. Humble is difficult, and harmony is difficult. Duke Zhou went to the White House, vomited, and fed less than rice. A touch of three hands holds the hair, and later generations are called sages.
Gentleman Travel: This is the name of the author of Kubinashi. The 27th volume of Selected Works is called "Ancient Ci", and the 4th volume of Literature and Art and the 3rd volume of Historical Records are called "Cao Zhi".

Idiom story:
Tang Wenzong in the Tang Dynasty, a great calligrapher Liu Gongquan, was honest and eloquent, and served as assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. At that time, an official named Guo Ning sent his two daughters to the palace, so the emperor sent Guo Ning to Postal Ning (now Postal County, Shaanxi Province) to be an official, and people talked about it one after another. The emperor asked Liu Gongquan about it: "Guo Ning is the stepfather of the Empress Dowager, and he is a general. He hasn't made any mistakes since he became an official. Now, what's wrong with making him the first mate in this small place? " Liu Gongquan said: "Everyone who talks about this matter thinks that Guo Ning got this position because he gave his two daughters to the palace." Tang Wenzong said: "Guo Ning's two daughters went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, not me." Liu Gongquan replied, "How can people tell Li's suspicion?"
"Gua Tian Li Xia" originated from the poem "Gua Tian won't accept shoes, Li Xia won't finish the crown" in the ancient Yuefu gentlemen's line. Here, Liu Gongquan is a metaphor for the emperor, which makes people suspicious.
Li Xia and Gua Tian, these two places are easy to arouse suspicion. If you stand in it, even if you don't pick your dishes, it's easy to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
The ancients emphasized that gentlemen should pay attention to manners and manners, and besides, they should take the initiative to avoid suspicion and stay away from some controversial people and things.
Now it refers to occasions that are more likely to arouse suspicion, make people misunderstand, and are difficult to argue.
