This idiom comes from the Warring States Policy. Weitzes ". Today, my minister came, saw people in the Taihang Mountains, drove them to the north, and said to him, "I want Chu." The minister said, "Prince of Chu, will Xi be the north?" He said, "My Ma Liang." The minister said, "Although the horse is good, this is not the way of Chu." Said, "I often use it." The minister said, "Although there are many uses, this is not the way of Chu." He said, "I am good at guarding others." The better the number, the farther away from Chu.
In the late Warring States period, Wei's national strength, which once dominated the world, gradually declined, but Wei Anli, the monarch, still wanted to send troops to attack Zhao. Counselor Liang Ji was ordered to be sent to a neighboring country. When he heard the news, he immediately turned back halfway, and the travel-stained came to see King Anli and dissuaded him from cutting Zhao. Liang Ji said to King Anli, "Today, on the Taihang Road, I met a man who went north by car, but he told me to go to Chu. Chu is in the south, so I asked him why he went to the south instead of the north. The man said, "Never mind, my horse is good and fast." I reminded him that the horse is not good, and facing north is not the direction to Chu. The man pointed to the big pocket in the car and said,' Never mind, I have a lot of money.' I also pointed out to him that no amount of money is useless, so that he can't go to Chu. The man still said,' Never mind, my groom is the best driver.' This person is really confused. He is heading in the wrong direction. Even if the horse runs fast and carries a lot of money, the groom is especially good at driving. The better these conditions are, the farther away he can be from his destination. "Speaking of which, Liang Ji changed the subject:" Now, if the king wants to think for himself, he must win the trust of the world with every move, so as to establish authority and win the hearts of the people; If you rely on the size and strength of your country to attack others, you will not be able to establish prestige, just as people who want to go to the south are going north, and you can only get farther and farther away from the goal of achieving hegemony! "
Return the perfect wall in Zhao Yi.
There is a treasure jade in Chu called He Shibi, which was acquired by Zhao Haoqi Huiwen. When King Zhao of Qin heard about it, he proposed to exchange 15 for Heshibi. Zhao Huiwen summoned Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru offered to take Cui to Qin. If Zhao gets the city of Qin, she will stay in Qin, otherwise, she will return to Zhao. When Lin Xiangru arrived in Qin, he presented Choi. The king of Qin was overjoyed, but he didn't give these cities to Zhao. Lin Xiangru said that the jade had a small flaw and wanted to show it to Zhao Haoqi of Qin, so he took Baoyu back. He stood by the court pillar and said, The prince of Zhao is worried that the state of Qin is strong and refuses to give the jade to the city. I persuaded him to agree. Stop fighting for five days, and then let me come with Bi to show my respect and respect for the majesty of Qin. Unexpectedly, the king's manners are simple and slow, and he has no sincerity to deliver to the cities. Now, if the king must take Baoyu away, I'd rather smash my head on the post with Baoyu. The state of Qin had no choice but to leave the city of 15 to Zhao. Lin Xiangru estimated that Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, just pretended to cope, so he suggested that he should also fast for five days and then communicate seriously. King Qin Zhao had to agree. Lin Xiangru sent his entourage to secretly return to Zhao from the path. After Qin Zhaowang fasted and held the exchange ceremony, Lin Xiangru told Qin Zhaowang about sending Choi back to Zhao, thus preserving Choi.
Qu yuan's story
Qu Yuan experienced three periods in his life: Chu Weiwang, Chu Huaiwang and King Xiang of Chu, and his main activity was in the period of Chu Huaiwang.

After being cheated, Chu Huaiwang became angry from embarrassment. He sent troops to Qin twice, but both were defeated. So Qu Yuan was ordered to send envoys to Qi State to rebuild the good relations between Qi and Chu. Once again, Zhang Yi failed to disintegrate the Qi-Chu alliance from Qin to Chu. In twenty-four years, Qin Chu formed an alliance with Huang Ci, and Chu was completely embraced by the State of Qin. Qu Yuan was also expelled from the capital and moved to the Northern Han Dynasty.

Two peaches killed three scholars.
In Qi Jinggong during the Warring States Period, Commander Tian Kaijiang conquered Xu, which was a feat of expanding territory and strengthening the strength of Qi. Tanoko has the right to behead the giant savior; Gong recommended by Tian Kaijiang has the power to save tigers. The three men became brothers and called themselves "Three Sisters of Qi Bang". Because of his contribution, Qi Jinggong awarded him the honor of "Five Riders". Over time, the three of them rely on credit and courage, which is not only simple and slow, but also rude in front of Gong Jing. Even factionalism has gradually become a hidden danger of national stability. JiXiang Yan Ying, that is, Yan Zi was deeply worried and wanted to get rid of it, but he was worried that Gong Jing wouldn't allow it, so he became enemies with the three men.
One day, I got married and hosted a banquet for Lu. When the wine was half finished, Yan Zi invited people in the garden to pick golden peaches to congratulate the alliance between the two countries. After Gong Jing allowed the performance, Yan Zi led the garden collectors to personally supervise the performance. Picked six golden peaches, "as big as a bowl, as red as charcoal, and fragrant." According to the ceremony, Qilu two kings each enjoy one, and Qilu two countries each enjoy one. There are two left on the plate, and Yan Zi invited them to be awarded to those who worked hard in recognition of their talents. Qi Jinggong invited ministers to recommend themselves, and Yan Zi gave them peaches.
Gong and Gu Yezi recommended themselves to work as saviors. As soon as they recommended themselves for the credit, Yan Zi affirmed their credit and immediately gave them two peaches respectively. Tian Kaijiang recommended himself and made contributions in opening up the frontier. Yan Zi evaluated Tian Kaijiang's greatest contribution, but the peaches were no longer needed, saying that they could only be rewarded when the peaches were ripe next year. Qi Jinggong said that he recommended himself late, and there were no peaches to commend his great achievements. Tian Kaijiang thought it was a shame, but because of his great achievements, he couldn't get peaches, so he committed suicide with his sword. Tanino and Gong Sun Jie committed suicide because they were ashamed of their trivial work. Yan Ying got rid of three people with two peaches, which eliminated the hidden danger of Qi.

During the Warring States Period, Meng Changjun (Tian Wen) of the State of Qi recruited talents. Zhao Haoqi of Qin listened to rumors and wanted to detain Meng Changjun. In Meng Changjun, thieves stole the fox and white fur and gave them to the favored concubine of King Zhao of Qin, seeking liberation for Meng Changjun. King Zhao of Qin released Meng Changjun. He fled to Hangu Pass overnight, but according to the regulations, he should close the door when the cock crows. Some of his guests imitated the cock crow, which caused the cock to shout around, so the customs officer opened the door and let them go. By the time the Qin people chased him, Meng Changjun had escaped from the customs. This allusion was left in the historical records, and the word "cock crow and dog thief" was handed down.
