Examples of actions speaking louder than words
Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun Zhao She, also called Ma Fuzi, was a general of Zhao during the Warring States Period. . He can only talk about the art of war taught by his father, but cannot actually command the battle. In 260 BC, Zhao Zhongqin rebelled against Qin's plan and replaced veteran general Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Reversing Lian Po's strategy, he switched from defense to offense and took the initiative to attack Qin across the board in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping, Shanxi). Qin general Bai Qi divided his troops into two groups: one way, he feigned defeat to attract the Zhao army to the Qin army's fortress; the other way, he cut off the Zhao army's retreat and implemented a counter-siege, cutting off the Zhao army's food route and trapping him in Changping. In the end, Zhao's army was deprived of food for forty-six days and broke out five times in four directions without success. Zhao Kuo died in battle and more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed.
