Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule. In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu.
The story comes from Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Twenty-two Years. This idiom means not arguing with others or making concessions on your own initiative.

One word is more valuable than nine tripods-a person's words carry a lot of weight.
During the Warring States period, the army of Qin surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the situation was very critical. Cheng Xiao, the king of Zhao, sent Ping Yuanjun to Chu for help. Pingyuan intends to lead 20 public tourists to complete this task. 19 of them have been selected, but one of them is still uncertain. At this time, he volunteered to go, Ping Yuanjun with a grain of salt, reluctantly took him to Chu.
When Ping Yuanjun arrived in Chu, he immediately talked with the king of Chu about "assisting Zhao", but the conversation was fruitless for a long time. At this time, Mao Sui said to the king of Chu: "We came to ask you to send reinforcements today, but you didn't say a word, but you should not forget that although Chu has many soldiers, it has been defeated and fought many times, and even the country has been lost." In my opinion, Chu needs to unite against Qin more than Zhao! " Mao Sui's words convinced the king of Chu and immediately promised to send troops to help Zhao.
When Ping Yuanjun returned to Zhao, he said with emotion: "When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, Chu was more important than Jiuding Road." Jiuding Dalu: Together with Ding, it is a treasure of an ancient country. )
The idiom "It's a deal" comes from this story, and describing a sentence can play a very important role.

Buy the box, but return the pearls.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who specialized in selling jewelry. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry.
Well, in order to sell jewelry, many small boxes are made of precious wood. The boxes are beautifully carved and decorated.
Look, let the box smell, and then put the jewelry in the box.
A man from Zheng saw that the box containing the orb was exquisite and beautiful. After asking the price, he bought one and opened the box.
Son, take out the treasure inside and return it to the jeweler.
(of an unknown person) achieved amazing results at the first attempt.
During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Chunyu Kun in the State of Qi. He is eloquent and good at conversation. He often matches something.
Interesting code words, to convince the monarch, so that the monarch is not only not angry, but also willing to accept.
At that time, the King of Qi was originally a wise monarch, but he became addicted to debauchery after he ascended the throne.
Regardless of national affairs, I only know how to drink and have fun every day, and I leave important things to the minister, but I don't care. because
As a result, politics was not on the right track, officials were corrupt and dereliction of duty, and governors of various countries also took the opportunity to invade, which made Qi on the verge of extinction.
On the brink of death.
Although some patriots in Qi were worried, they were all afraid of the King of Qi, and no one came out to persuade them.
Suggestions.
In fact, Qi Weiwang is a very clever man. He likes to say some argot to show his wisdom, although he doesn't like listening.
Other people's suggestions, but if they are correct, he will still accept them. When Chunyu Kun found out, he came up with a plan
Policy, ready to find a chance to persuade Qi Weiwang.
One day, Chunyu Kun met him and said, "Your Majesty, I want you to guess a riddle for Chen."
This state-owned juicy bird lived in the king's court for three years, but it didn't flap its wings or be named.
Just curled up aimlessly, guess, your majesty, what kind of bird is this? "
Qi Weiwang is a wise man. You can hear from his words that Chunyu Kun is satirizing himself, a country like a big bird.
Respect, but nothing, only pleasure. When he was no longer a fatuous king, so was Shen Yin.
He resolutely decided to turn over a new leaf, cheer up and do something vigorous, so he said to Chunyu Kun:
"Well, this big bird, you don't know, it doesn't fly, it doesn't rush into the sky, it doesn't make a sound, it makes a sound.
Will disturb everyone, you wait and see! "
From then on, Qi Weiwang stopped drinking and began to rectify the country. First of all, he called on officials all over the country to be loyal and responsible.
Give rewards; Those corrupt and incompetent people will be punished. As a result, the whole country quickly cheered and was everywhere.
Full of vigor and vitality.
On the other hand, he also set out to rectify the army and use strong force to establish the prestige of the country. When the governors of various countries heard the news,
Everyone was shocked, not only did they dare not invade again, but even returned all the land they had occupied to Qi.
What Qi Weiwang did was really a "blockbuster"!
Therefore, people later used the idiom "blockbuster" to describe a person with extraordinary talent, as long as he can.
If you use it well, once you play it out, you will often have amazing achievements.
Decorate yourself with borrowed feathers
During the Warring States period, when Chu was at its strongest, he was afraid of his general Zhao for the sake of the northern country at that time.
Xi's t-shirt, and feel strange. So he asked the North Korean minister why.
At that time, a minister named Jiang Yi told him the following story:
"Once upon a time, there was a tiger in a cave. Because he was hungry, he ran outside to look for food. When he came to a place,
When I was in the dense forest, I suddenly saw a fox walking in front of me. He thinks this is a golden opportunity.
Yes, he jumped over and caught him effortlessly.
But when it opened its mouth to eat the fox, the sly fox suddenly spoke:
Hum! Don't think that you are the king of beasts and dare to swallow me; You know, heaven and earth ordered me to be king.
Your Majesty, whoever eats me will be severely punished by heaven and earth. The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt.
However, when he tilted his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance, he was shocked. The original arrogance.
And I don't know when most of them disappeared. Even so, he thought to himself: I am one hundred.
The king of beasts, so any beast in the world will be afraid to see me. And he, it turned out, was ordered by Emperor Fengtian to rule us!
At this time, the fox saw the tiger hesitate to eat, and knew that he had already believed him a little.
So he stood proudly, then pointed to the tiger's nose and said,' What, don't you believe what I said?
Really? Then come with me now, walk behind me and see if all the wild animals are scared out of their wits when they see me.
Running around. The tiger thought it was a good idea and did it.
So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. They didn't leave much.
For a long time, I vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found themselves walking behind the fox.
The tiger was in front of him, and he couldn't help but be frightened to disgrace and ran away.
At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger can't help but feel a little scared.
But he didn't know that wild animals were afraid of themselves, and he thought they were really afraid of foxes!
The cunning fox's plan succeeded, but his strength was entirely due to the tiger's disguise, which enabled him to threaten in a favorable situation at this moment.
Threatening the beast and the poor tiger to be fooled and not knowing it!
Therefore, the people in the north are afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt simply because the king's soldiers are in his hands, that is to say.
Say, what they are afraid of is actually the power of the king! "
From the above story, we can know that anyone oppresses others by virtue of the power of authority or the power of position.
Anyone who acts arrogantly can be described as "Smith".
