Today we will tell the story of retreating from the three houses, this house in the retreat, although it is the dormitory's house, but he said that he means 30 miles, then the retreat is naturally to retreat 90 miles, then now.
We use this idiom as a metaphor to escape and avoid something, but to avoid direct conflict with him.
And this idiom comes from the Zuo Zhuan, but also from a period of anecdotes from the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, we will look at his past life today.
After Jin Wen became hegemonic and became the national army, it developed production internally and externally, and constantly picked up the basis of the development of production and rectification of internal affairs in various countries, which also made the country's military strength constantly stronger.
It can be said that the comprehensive national strength of the whole country is thriving, because he also very much hopes to become the hegemon of Qi Huangong at that time.
Becoming a meritorious minister in establishing hegemony, and at this time, Zhou Tianzi sent people to the Jin Kingdom, hoping to get some rescuers to help Zhou Tianzi.
Because Zhou Tianzi was forced to retreat by some rebellions under his command at that time, he could only flee with dozens of retinues and fled like a dog that had lost his family to the Zhengguo at that time.
And he hoped that all the princely states could send some troops and reinforcements to protect him and help him, and then at this time each country sent some people to comfort the Son of Heaven.
And also sent some people to send some necessary food and coils, but no one was really willing to send their own country's army to help him, so at this time someone said to Zhou Tianzi.
Of all the current princely states, only the Qin and Jin states can have real strength, and it is these two countries that can help us repel the enemy and quell the rebellion, while the other countries are exempt from discussion.
Therefore, at this time, Zhou Tianzi sent people to Jin Wengong, that is, to the Jin Kingdom, hoping to get some reinforcements, at this time Jin Wengong did not have any hesitation and excuses.
He immediately sent his country's army to the east and defeated the enemy. And he also sent the Buddha to heaven, and finally successfully escorted Zhou Tianzi to the capital.
However, two years after this incident ended, the son of the State of Song also came to the State of Jin, wanting some help and some rescue, because he knew that the State of Chu was leading a lot of troops to attack the State of Song.
Therefore, if there is no rescue, the Song Kingdom will not be in danger, so the doorman feels that it is absolutely necessary to defeat the Chu State, because he wants to achieve a hegemony like the Duke of Qi Huan.
Then he led his troops to China to rescue, and the Chu state at that time did not want to engage Jin Wengong, and then he sent his troops to the front line to retreat first.
Because he did not want to confront the Jin state, but the general Cheng Dechen at that time believed that the Song state would be able to be attacked sooner or later, and he must not give up halfway.
Then he insisted on going his own way, with a kind of willfulness that would not be spared the orders of the foreign king, and then he went to attack at this time, when king Chu Cheng only sent him money, a small part of the army, and as a result he failed. This time, when the Chu state marched in the future, Jin Wengong ordered everyone to retreat, why should they retreat? The soldiers also did not understand.
Jin Wengong said, I promised the king of Chu at that time that I would retreat, and if we did not withdraw, then we would violate the moral principles. Then they retreated to Chengpu before stopping to deploy. However, even if it was such a retreat, it did the opposite, and it precisely played a role in luring the enemy to go deeper, and this effect finally defeated the army of the Chu state.
But Jin Wengong still fulfilled his promise, which is the story of retreat, and his main story is to fulfill the promises he made first.
Because that's what a true gentleman should do, and then we can't just stick to it, we have to be wise, we have to analyze the situation reasonably, and then we make our decisions.
