【General Solution】

The Qi guo division led an army to attack the state of Lu, Ji Kangzi sent Ran Qiu to lead the left army to resist, and Fan Chi was the right side of the car. The Lu army was reluctant to cross the trenches to meet the battle. Fan Chi said: "It's not that you can't cross, it's that I don't trust you." Please give orders three times before taking the lead. Ran Qiu listened to Fan Chi's advice, and as a result, the army followed suit. The Lu army invaded the Qi army, but the Qi army could not resist and fled in defeat. Ran uses The Go as a weapon, so he can penetrate the Qi army. When Confucius heard this, he said, "This is moral. ”

After the war, Ji Kangzi asked Ran You: "Do you learn about the tactics of warfare through study, or are you born with them?" Ran You replied, "It is learned." Ji Kangzi asked again, "What can you learn from Confucius?" Ran You replied, "It was from Confucius that I learned the truth of war." Confucius was a saint who knew everything and was both literate and martial. I just happened to have heard him talk about tactics, and I didn't know enough about it. Ji Kangzi was very happy to hear it. Fan Chi told Confucius about this, and Confucius said: "Through this incident, Ji Kangzi can be called a talent who likes others." ”
