Today's idiom stories of the Three Kingdoms can be found in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Huangfusong was transmitted in. The time is in Li Wunian, and the protagonists are Dong Zhuo and Huang Fusong. As follows:
The kingdom surrounded Chencang. From winter to spring, the city held on for more than 80 days, but it could not be pulled out. The thief was exhausted and had to leave. Song invaded it and attacked it. Zhuo said, "No way. Sun Tzu's art of war says that poor bandits should not chase after each other, and people follow suit. Today, I am chasing the country. I was forced to join the crowd and chase the poor. The trapped beast is still fighting, the bee is poisonous, and the situation is open! " Song: "Otherwise. I won't attack before, afraid of sharpness. If you go on strike today, you will be defeated. Teachers who are tired of playing do not belong to the public. Go to the countryside, don't have a fight. Attacking chaos is not poor. " Then he attacked alone and was rejected by Zhuo. Lien Chan broke through, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and perished. Zhuo was ashamed and hated, so he avoided the Song Dynasty.
The general idea of this passage is that the kingdom besieged Chencang for more than 80 days from winter to spring. However, due to the solid walls and tight defense of Chencang, the kingdom was always unable to conquer, and most of the ministries were exhausted and eventually retreated on their own. Huangfusong intends to pursue the enemy. Dong Zhuo advised, "No, Sun Tzu's Art of War says that you can't pursue hard and beat hard, and you can't push back. Now our army pursues the kingdom, which is the enemy who is forced to retreat and pursues the enemy who is desperate. The trapped beast still fights. Bees and scorpions are poisonous, not to mention the strength of the enemy? "
HuangFuSong replied, "that's not true. When I said I wouldn't attack the enemy, I wanted to avoid the enemy's elite. Now that you have decided to attack, it is a sign of the enemy's decline. I want to attack the tired enemy, not the enemy who usually retreats. The army of the kingdom is running away, and its soldiers have no fighting spirit. We use high-spirited troops to fight against chaotic enemies, instead of desperately chasing them. " Therefore, Huang Fusong devoted himself to chasing the enemy, leaving Dong Zhuo as backup. Huang Fusong defeated the enemy in several battles in succession, annihilating more than 10,000 people. The kingdom perished. Dong Zhuo was ashamed and resented Huang Fusong.
The idiom to be mentioned in this article is Dong Zhuo's "Don't chase the poor and handsome", which means don't chase the enemy when he is in trouble, lest the enemy retreat quickly and cause his own losses. Don't be too aggressive. The earliest origin of this idiom is "grandson?" Military struggle, "don't be forced by a poor bandit, this is the way to fight."
The story of this idiom takes place in the fifth year of Zhong Ping. At that time, the court appointed Huang Fusong as the left general, and together with the former general Dong Zhuo, led 20,000 troops to fight treason in Guanzhong area. At this time, Wang Guozheng led a great army to besiege Chencang, an important town in Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo intends to lead the troops to Chencang to clear the gap quickly, but Huang Fusong opposes it. Huangfusong thinks that Chencang city is strong and the enemy is difficult to conquer.
As a result, as Huang Fusong said, the kingdom besieged Chencang for more than 80 days, but it could not be conquered. The soldiers were exhausted and had to retreat. At this time, Huangfusong prepared to send troops to attack the kingdom, and Dong Zhuo raised objections. He reminded Huang Fusong with the operational tactics of "not chasing the poor and handsome" in the Art of War. However, Huang Fusong did not adopt Dong Zhuo's suggestion and made a detailed analysis of the enemy's situation. Finally, he decided to pursue the enemy alone, with Dong Zhuo as backup.
The result of the war proved that Huang Fusong's opinion was correct. Dong Zhuo bears a grudge against Huang Fusong, because Huang Fusong has rejected his attack plan and thinks that Huang Fusong has robbed him of his head. Second, I envy Huang Fusong's ability to be better than himself. This incident also made Dong Zhuo very afraid of Huang Fusong's ability. When the Allies asked Dong for help, Dong Zhuo ignored Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. He only thinks that Sun Jian is a "villain" who can employ people, but he is worried about Huangfusong guarding Guanzhong, so he gives up Luoyang's plan to retreat to Chang 'an. Later, I had the opportunity to relieve Huang Fusong of his military power. You can also see how much Dong Zhuo is afraid of Huang Fusong.
