The king of Wei wanted to attack Handan. Hearing this, Liang Ji immediately turned back. He has no time to smooth the wrinkles on his clothes. He doesn't care about shaking the dust on his head. He hurried to visit Wang Wei and said, "I came back today and met someone on the road. He is driving north. He said to me,' I want to go to Chu.' I said,' If you are going to Chu, why are you going north?' He said, "My horse is fine." I said, "the horse is good, but this is not the way to Chu!" " (He) said,' My expenses are very high.' I said,' No matter how much money you spend, this road is not the way to Chu.' (He added):' My coachman is a good coachman.' These aspects are better, but farther from Chu!
Today's king wants to be the overlord and always wants to gain prestige in the world. However, relying on Wei's strength and excellent army, we attacked Handan, expanded the land and made it aristocratic. The more your Majesty does this, the farther you will be from establishing Wang Ye. It's like going to Chu but going to the north. "
