fight only on paper—be an armchair strategist During the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She, was familiar with military books since childhood. When he talked of the use of soldiers, even Zhao She could not talk as good as him. After a long time, Zhao Kuo thought that no one in the world could surpass himself. However, Zhao She knew that his son did not have the true ability to lead a team. Therefore, before his death, Zhao She said to Zhao Kuo that Zhao Kuo must not serve as a general, otherwise Zhao Kuo would surely bring defeat to the State of Zhao. In 262 BC, the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao. Zhaoxiaochengwang appointed LianPo as a general and led the army to resist. After a long period of time, Lian Po led 200,000 troops to fight against the enemy. The two armies launched a war in Changping. Lian Po saw that the Qin army was strong and could not fight hard. He decided to stick to the base in Changping and wait until the Qin army's food and grass supply was insufficient before sending troops to fight. Lian Po ordered everyone should stay at thier home cannot go outside and conducted strict defense. No matter how provocative Qin Army was, Lian Po was not fight with Qin. In this way, Lian Po stayed in Changping for three years and Qin Army had no idea. The State of Qin was unable to win for a time. He sent people to the capital of the State of Zhao --Handan to spread rumors and said that Lian Po was quite afraid of Qin Army, Qin Guo was particularly afraid of the king of the State of Zhao 's appointment of Zhao Kuo as the general. the king of the State of Zhao really planned and ordered Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po as a general. Zhao Kuo did not have actual combat experience. As soon as he took office, he changed Lian Po’s combat plan and launched a full-scale attack on the Qin army. Qin army pretended to be defeated and had led Zhao army to the camp of Qin Army . Zhao Kuo knew that it was a trick but too late. Hundreds of thousands of Zhao army had no food in the army, and there was no reinforcements outside. 46 days later, Zhao Kuo was determined to break out in a desperate attempt. He had not yet rushed to the position of the Qin army and was shot dead by random arrows. When the general died, Zhao army collapsed across the board and 400,000 troops were buried alive by Qin army. Since then, the State of Zhao has been sluggish. A man without an ideal is like there is no sun in the sky. If you have an ideal but no action, an ideal is always an ideal. There are two words between "want(xiangyao)" and "get(dedao)", and that is "do it.(zuodao)" Action is the key to realizing the dream. Zhao Kuo only has theory, but ignores the actual situation on the battlefield. He regards what he thinks as a kind of insight and can only end in failure. "Doing" is not the same as "thinking". It takes mental and physical energy and faces many difficulties in the process. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Only by translating what we think into reality can we verify its feasibility.
