Backwater is not so much a morale-boosting go-getter as it is a bust under despair. Many people know the concept of putting one's life on the line, but all you know are the success stories, and the losers have been lost to history or have become the opposite. The real backwater is a kind of fearless courage, is a kind of insight into the wisdom of the time, the same is no choice helpless.
The allusion to the battle of the backwaters comes from the "Records of the Grand Historian" (史记). Huaiyin Hou Liezhuan", the letter is to make ten thousand people first, out, backwater Chen. ... The army all fought to the death and could not be defeated. At that time, the Marquis of Huaiyin Han Xin Shuai not to quell the rebellion, in the defile and the enemy army met, their own troops in the number of people in the disadvantage, the local generals lightly, was Han Xin seize the opportunity to fight, but in the case of the enemy is not enough, to defeat the enemy is also more difficult, so let the army backwater formation, the soldiers have no way out, risking their lives to go forward, and finally won the war.
In this story actually hides a lot of information, Han Xin's army was the official troops at that time, in the name of occupying the great righteousness, the mood itself is higher, and these troops are the old soldiers of a hundred battles, and the rebels of the local troops itself is not on the same level, the difference in combat power is actually not so big. Similarly, the commander of the war and the use of psychological tactics to stimulate the combat psychology of the soldiers, which is why such a large battle results, things are never just as simple as there is no way back to succeed.
The first thing you need to have is a certain strength, otherwise you practice dueling opportunities are not available, no matter what position you are in is to hit a stone with an egg. Secondly, we must be clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and the two sides, to make appropriate arrangements, after full preparation, to be able to grasp the initiative of the war. Take the army as an example, if you are in a desperate situation, but still have the capital to fight, in itself can stimulate the army's determination and increase the fighting strength of the soldiers. But if the gap between the enemy's strength and ours is too great, it will instead overwhelm the soldiers' reasoning, and then it will not be a fight to the death, but a total rout and surrender.
Han Xin's success is by no means a blind impulse, but a well-considered decision, in the case of our army is clearly insufficient in number, can only take this kind of radical measures, if our strength is sufficient, Han Xin will never make such a decision, after all, there is Han Xin will be soldiers, more is good, the canonical story in the battlefield, the soldiers on the battlefield is not a lot of dangerous opportunities, more or more is the dang ding dong duel, in the There is no way out of the situation, only to put themselves in danger, in order to seek in the case of the minimum loss, to achieve the greatest results. Of course, being able to find a way to survive in a desperate situation is also the main factor that separates the common man from the hero.
We are in the work and life is the same, do not blindly believe in the role of backwater, in the absence of any situation analysis and preparation, your decisiveness is just a joke, you can be helpless, but can not be stupid, backwater is a smart person to do things. However, in real life, there are not many opportunities to backwater, you just need to know this truth is good, do not have to deliberately create such opportunities for themselves.
