Where there is a will, there is a way.
Hard-working people live up to their duties, and thousands of three can swallow Wu.
In his later years, Pu Songling repeatedly failed in the imperial examination, and when he was extremely depressed, he personally wrote a pair of inspirational couplets. At first, it was carved on a copper ruler, and then hung in the study of the bookstore.
The All-China Federation is magnificent and inspiring, citing two famous allusions and corresponding results in history. One is that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, burned his bridges to destroy Daqin, and the other is that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, wanted to swallow Wu. Pu Songling inspired himself with this connection, and finally went down in history with the strange story of a strange studio.
The classic saying "Where there is a will, there is a way"
On one occasion, Liu Xiu sent Geng He to attack Zhang Bu, a strongman who occupied twelve counties in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. Zhang Bu's soldiers are stronger than Mazhuang's, and they are the strong enemies of Geng He. Zhang Bu heard that Geng led the troops to attack. He sent generals and soldiers to guard lixia, zhua and linzi to prepare for them. Geng He captured Zhuan Xu first, and then successively captured Lixia and Linzi in a planned way. Worried, Zhang Bu personally led the troops to counterattack Linzi, so he launched a bloody battle for life and death outside Linzi. In the battle, Geng got an arrow in his thigh, but he bravely cut off the shaft with his sabre. Although he was injured, he still insisted on fighting. Liu Xiu heard the news. Lead troops to support in person. When reinforcements haven't arrived, Jun Chen thinks that Zhang Bu is very strong, suggesting a temporary truce, and then attack when reinforcements arrive. However, Geng He believes that difficulties cannot be left to others. After a fierce battle, Geng He finally defeated Zhang Bu. A few days later, Liu Xiu came to Linzi to comfort the army. In front of many generals, he praised Geng He and said, "In those days, Han Xin broke history and started an inheritance. Now the generals have conquered Zhu A. Lien Chan and Jie Jie have similar merits. Once upon a time, you suggested in Nanyang that Zhang Bu should be pacified. At that time, I thought your tone was too big, and I was afraid it would be difficult to succeed. Now I know that where there is a will, there is a way! "
This sentence shows that no matter how difficult it is, a person can succeed as long as he has ambition and perseverance. On the other hand, if a person has no ambition, even doing the simplest things is not satisfactory.
Allusions to "burn one's bridges"
"Historical Records of Xiang Yu's Biography": "When Xiang Yu learned that he led his troops to cross the river, they all sank, broke the cauldron, burned the house, and gave three meals to show that his soldiers would die, and there was no return."
In 209 BC, a peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu broke out in the history of China. After the sacrifice of Chen Sheng and Guangwu, the two armies led by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu gradually grew up. In 207 BC, the rebel army of Xiang Yu and the main force of Qin Jun led by Zhang Han, the general of Qin Dynasty, fought in Julu (now Xingtai City, Hebei Province). Xiang Yu, not afraid of strong enemies, led his troops across Zhangshui (a river where Julu flows northeast to southeast). After crossing the river, Xiang Yu ordered the whole army: "Anyone who sinks a ship, breaks a cauldron, burns down houses, and leaves three rations to show that the foot soldiers will die, and no one will return to their hearts." In World War I, Julu defeated Qin Jun and Xiang Bing.
In 496 BC, He Lv, the king of Wu, sent troops to attack the State of Yue, and was defeated by the State of Yue. He Lv was seriously injured and died. He Lv asked Wu Zixu to choose his successor. Wu Zixu loved Fu Cha alone and chose him as king. Since then, Gou Jian heard that Wu wanted to build a water army, and despite the opposition of others, he sent troops to destroy the water army. The result was surrounded by Fucha Jones and was defeated. The general also died. Fu Cha wanted to capture Gou Jian alive, but Fan Li made a plan and pretended to surrender, leaving a green hill without firewood. Fu Cha didn't listen to the advice of veteran Wu Zixu, leaving Gou Jian and others behind. After three years of humiliation, he was finally put back to Yue. Gou Jian secretly trained elite soldiers, sleeping every night without a mattress, just laying some firewood (called salary in ancient times), and hanging a bravery in the house. In order not to forget the shame of the past, he will taste bitterness from time to time.
