Idiom story:
During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Rong Kun, who was named Levin by the Yan State, appointed him as the commander-in-chief and led an army to attack Zhao (now southern Hebei and northern Shanxi). Rong Qiu is good at fighting. When the prince of Zhao got the news, he was very scared and immediately called ministers to discuss countermeasures. Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of China, came up with an idea and said, "Tian Dan is a famous soldier of Qi. He is brave and resourceful. China cut three cities and gave them to Qi. On this condition, please ask Tian Dan to help us lead the Zhao army to battle, and we will win a total victory. "
But General Zhao She disagreed. He said, "Don't we have a general leading troops in Zhao? Before the war, we must cut all three cities. How can we do that? I am very familiar with the situation of Yan Jun. Why not send me to lead the troops to resist? "
Zhao She further analyzed and said: "First, even if Tian Dan is willing to command the Zhao army, our country will not win, and it may be invincible, that is, it will be for nothing; Second, if Tian Dan is really capable, he may not be willing to contribute to our country, because if our country becomes stronger, isn't it very unfavorable for them to dominate the country? Therefore, it is impossible for him to seriously deal with Yan Jun for the benefit of our country. "
Then, Zhao She said: "If Tian Chan comes, it will definitely drag our troops to the battlefield, which will be' protracted' and a waste of time. This long delay will consume our manpower, financial resources and material resources in a few years. The consequences are unimaginable! " However, Zhao Haoqi and Prime Minister Zhao Sheng did not listen to Zhao She's suggestion, but still ceded the three cities, and hired Tian Dan of Qi as the commander-in-chief of Zhao. As expected, Zhao fell into a war of attrition that was not worth the loss and paid a great price. He only captured a small town in the state of Yan, but he didn't win the ideal victory.
Idiom story:
Yan Xihui sent a famous soldier as a general to attack Zhao. The prince of Zhao knew this and was very afraid, so he discussed countermeasures with the Prime Minister Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng advocated cutting the three cities of Jidong and Qi, and asked Tian Dan, a famous Qi, to lead Zhao to resist Yan. Zhao's general Zhao She resolutely opposed Zhao Sheng's idea. He said to Zhao Sheng, "Can't our country even find a soldier who fights? If you haven't fought yet, you'll lose three cities first. Isn't this a patchwork? " Zhao Sheng replied angrily, "General, don't say anything more. Zhao Wang has agreed to this matter and can't change it! "
Zhao She still patiently and sincerely said to Zhao Sheng: "You don't want to think, Tian Dan is from Qi, can he contribute to Zhao? When Zhao Guoqiang grows up, can Qi still dominate? " Zhao She further exhorted: "When we go to war, Tian Chan will tie our powerful Zhao army to the battlefield. If it is delayed for another few years, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the consequences will be unimaginable. "
The prince of Zhao and Zhao Sheng didn't listen to Zhao She's advice, and they still took Tian Chan as the general. The result of the war, as Zhao She expected, made Zhao's treasure go up in smoke and paid a huge price, but only three small towns with no more than 100 pheasants were exchanged.
Later, people quoted "protracted" to mean wasting time and delaying for a long time.
