1. Guan Yu lost Jingzhou

Fang Zhongyong, a civilian in Jinxi County, has been farming for generations. When Zhong Yong was five years old, he had never seen any tools for reading and writing, and suddenly he cried for these things. Father was amazed at this, so he borrowed it from his neighbor. (Zhong Yong) immediately wrote four poems and wrote his own name.

This poem is about caring for parents and uniting with people of the same clan. (His father passed it on to the scholars in the whole town for viewing. From then on, he was assigned something to write a poem, which (he could) be completed immediately, and the literary talent and truth of the poem were worth watching. People in the same county are surprised by Zhong Yong, and gradually treat his father with the courtesy of guests. Some people ask for Zhong Yong's poems with money and gifts.

His father is greedy for this, forcing Zhong Yong to visit people in the same county every day and not to let him study. I (Wang Anshi) have heard about it for a long time. During the Ming Dow years, I followed my late father back to my hometown and met him at my uncle's house. He was (already) twelve or thirteen years old. Let (him) write a poem, which is no longer commensurate with the previous rumors.

after another seven years, (I) came back from Yangzhou, went to my uncle's house again, asked about Zhong Yong, and replied, "Zhong Yong's special features have disappeared completely, and he has become an ordinary person." Mr. Wang said: Zhong Yong's knowledge and comprehension ability are natural. His talent is much higher than that of ordinary talented people. He finally became an ordinary person because he didn't get an acquired education.

A person who is born smart and so intelligent like him will become an ordinary person without an acquired education. So, I'm afraid those people who are not born smart and are ordinary now can't be ordinary if they don't accept the acquired education.

2. During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She, a famous soldier of the State of Zhao, read a lot of art books when he was young, and often talked about fighting in front of people, even his father Zhao She couldn't stop him. Many people think he is very talented, but his father thinks he talks big and can't take on heavy responsibilities. On one occasion, Qin attacked Zhao. Lian Po, the general of Zhao, adopted the method of building barriers and sticking to them.

Later, the King of Zhao listened to the rumors spread by the State of Qin, thinking that Lian Po was too old and weak to be inferior to the enemy, so he sent Zhao Kuo instead of Lian Po. When Zhao Kuo went to the front, he copied the dogma in the art of war, which completely changed Lian Po's plan for a lasting war of resistance.

Qin General Bai Qi was very happy when he heard the news, so he cut off the back road of Zhao's grain transportation and then surrounded Zhao. When Zhao Jun ran out of food, Zhao Kuo tried to break through and was shot dead by Qin Jun. More than 4, Zhao Jun were annihilated at once.

3. Napoleon defeated Waterloo because of pride

European countries quickly formed the seventh anti-French alliance. They had an army of 7, people, while France had only 284,. Napoleon analyzed the situation and thought that the Russian-Austrian Coalition forces only needed a few troops to contain them, and the key target was the Anglo-Prussian Coalition forces in Belgium. On June 6th, he led his troops north to Belgium and decided to capture Brussels. ?

On June 16th, Napoleon unexpectedly defeated Pujun in the Battle of Lini. However, due to the slow action of the French army, Napoleon originally planned to annihilate Pujun, but the Battle of Lini only turned into a rout, so Napoleon had to send Marshal grouchy to lead some troops to pursue Pujun. On June 18th, 1815, the Battle of Waterloo started. The commander of the British army is the Duke of Wellington.

72, French troops and 68, British troops fought a decisive battle that changed the 19th century near the town of Waterloo. The main direction of the French army is the highland of Mount St. John, but the highland has never been captured. In addition, most of the generals who have the ability to command the army in the French army did not participate in this battle, which led to the incompetence of the French army everywhere, including jerome, Napoleon's eighth brother.

After a long battle, Marshal Ney led the cavalry to launch a charge on the highland of Mount St. John, which was no less than that of the cavalry in the battles of Moscow Fort and Leipzig. Although the cavalry charged without tactics, they were really sharp. The French cavalry broke through the phalanx and seized a large number of forts, and the British army was killed out of the water, and Wellington's face changed. However, the British army struggled to block the French onslaught.

Although Napoleon's victory was in sight, he saw the Prussian army reinforce here at noon, but the savior Marshal grouchy arrived late. But the French army has gained the upper hand. However, at 7 pm, the Prussian army was suddenly killed under the leadership of Deputy Commander Bilo. The French army suffered a fiasco and they fled desperately, despite Napoleon and Ney's attempts to turn the tide.

But everything was useless. General cambronne's last phalanx of the French army had been wiped out, Waterloo was full of deserters, and Napoleon had to be defeated by the army. The fiasco at Waterloo brought down the Hundred Days Dynasty completely.

4. Pang Juan was shot to death by Sun Bin army because of his pride.

During the Warring States Period in China, the Qi army annihilated Wei Jun's famous ambush in Maling (now southwest of Fan County, Henan Province). In the 26th year of King Xianzhou (AD 343), Wei Fa-bing attacked Korea, and Han asked Qi for help. Qi promised to rescue, in order to promote Korea to resist Wei. However, since the beginning of the war, the strength of Wei and South Korea was not damaged, and it was unfavorable to send troops to align prematurely. It was not until the Korean army was defeated in five wars and the situation was critical. Wei Jun was also very tired that he sent troops to rescue him.

in the twenty-seventh year, Qi Weiwang took Tian Ji as the main general, Tian Ying and Tian as the assistant generals, and Sun Bin as the strategist, and used the tactics of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" (see the Battle of Guiling) to lead the army to the girder of Wei capital (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), so as to induce the Wei army to come back and save Han Wei. In the second campaign, Sun Bin used Pang Juan's weakness to create illusion and induce him to submit, and always took the initiative. This war is a famous example in the history of China War to ambush and annihilate the enemy.

In this battle, Pang Juan knew that there was nothing he could do. The army had been completely defeated, so he had to commit suicide. When he died, he said, "At last, this boy became famous!" Wei Jun was conquered by Qi, and Prince Wei was captured and returned to China. Sun Bin became famous all over the world because of this, and the world learned his art of war.

5. Kao Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, led a great army to capture Beijing and established the Dashun Dynasty. However, Kao Zicheng and his generals were complacent, corrupt, and striving for profits, and were soon defeated by Wu Sangui.

6. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led millions of troops south to tackle key problems. After listening to Pang Tong's words, he built a serial ship, and he thought he had a good idea. Standing on the ship, he was full of ambition and thought that he would win. As a result, Lian Zhong's plan was defeated by the Shu and Wu allied forces. 7. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, thought that he was born in a noble family, that he was a hero in the world, that he pulled out mountains and rivers, and that he had millions of soldiers, and that he did not put Liu Bang, who was born in Tingchang, in his eyes. But Liu Bangshan made good use of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others, and changed from weak to strong. Liu and Xiang contended, and the result was that Xiang Yu suffered a fiasco and committed suicide in Wujiang River.
