Yang Zhu was a famous scholar in the Warring States Period, who was called Andy. Andy's neighbor lost a sheep, so the whole family went to look for it, and asked Andy's servant to help them find it together.

Andy said, alas, this is just a lost sheep. Why do so many people have to look for it? The shepherd said, because there are too many forks in the road.

When the people looking for sheep came back, Andy asked, "Did you find them?" ? They replied: no! Andy asked, Why can't you find it? They said: There were many forks in the road, and we didn't know which fork the sheep went to, so we came back.

Hearing this, Andy was very moved and had a very unhappy expression on his face. He was silent for a long time and didn't smile all day. People thought it was very strange, so they said to Andy, "Sheep are not valuable, and it's not your sheep that was lost. Why are you so glum? Andy didn't answer.

A man named New Angel listened to him and said, "Because there are many forks in the road, it is easy to lose sheep;" Scholars may lose their direction in life because they can't concentrate. (the original text is: many people die, and many people kill. Don't you understand why Andy is unhappy?

The idiom "dead sheep in different roads" is derived from many different roads, which means that things are complicated and changeable, and without the correct direction, they will go astray. A fork in the road; Death, loss.

Bao Zheng was a native of Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui) in the Northern Song Dynasty. The inkstone in Duanzhou is very famous. In the past, in order to please the boss, in the name of tribute, the well-known people collected dozens of times of inkstones at will.

After Bao Zheng arrived, he ordered that only the number of tribute courtyards should be built, not more, and the burden of ordinary people was suddenly lightened. When he served as the agreement of the three ministries, once the Khitan gathered troops at the border, the border counties were nervous, and the court sent Bao Zheng to Hebei to dispatch rations.

Bao Zheng said: The land in Zhanghe area is fertile, but the people can't cultivate it. Xingzhou and Zhaozhou have 15000 hectares of private land, but they are used for herding horses, and all of them are required to be cultivated by the people. Benefited the people of Hebei.

When Bao Zheng was appointed as the magistrate of Kaifeng, it was difficult to manage because Kaifeng was the capital. According to the previous regulations, people should write a complaint first and then ask government officials to pass it in. Bao Zheng broke this rule and left the door wide open, allowing people to come directly to the class to make statements, leaving officials at their wits' end. Once, there was a flood in Kaifeng, and the water could not be discharged.

Bao Zheng made an investigation, because many dignitaries built many gardens and pavilions on the dredged river. Bao Zheng ordered them to tear it all down. A powerful man refused to tear it down, took out a title deed and said the land was his. Bao Zheng made a detailed inspection and found that the title deed was forged. Bao Zheng immediately tore down his garden and beat Emperor Injong. Then the flood receded.

Because of Bao Zheng's selflessness, Kaifeng was rectified in one year. Powerful people restrained a lot, and they were afraid when they heard Bao Zheng's name, saying that it was more difficult to see Bao Gong's smiling face than to see the Yellow River clear. People like him very much, saying: If you can't reach your joints, you will die.

The smile is more serious than Heqing described, so it is hard to see it.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun ordered the camp door to open wide, stop it, and prepare to let Jun in. At the same time, the archers were ordered to ambush in the village, while Bai Ji stood alone at the door waiting for the enemy.

Aggressive Wei Jun arrived soon, when the soldiers were under great pressure and overcast. Zhao Yun's side opened the door, but there were no flags or drums. Suspicious by nature, Cao Cao suspected that there was an ambush hidden inside, dared not attack easily, and ordered to retreat.

Zhaoyun saw Cao Jun withdrawing troops and immediately beat drums and shouted. In an instant, ShaSheng deafening, arrows like rain. Wei Jun panicked and trampled on himself, and many ranks fell into the Hanshui River and drowned. Therefore, Zhao Yun led soldiers to seize food and grass in Wei Jun, killed a large number of Cao Cao's troops and returned to camp in triumph.

The next day, Liu Bei personally came to the military camp to treat the sergeant. Seeing the traces left by yesterday's battle, he said with emotion: "Zilong (Zhao Yun, Zilong) is full of courage!"

The reflection of Zhao Yunzhuan Shu Shu and Pei Songzhi quoted Zhao Yunzhuan.

Qi Bo said, "There is no need to fight again. My military forces and territory were not small, and I lost the battle. This shows that my virtue is not as good as his, and the method of educating subordinates is not as good as his. So I have to review myself first and try to correct my own problems. "

From then on, Qi Bo became angry and tried to be strong. He gets up and works before dawn every day, lives a simple life, cares about the people and respects them with morality. After a year, Hu family knew, not only did not dare to invade, but willingly surrendered. Describe introspection and find reasons from yourself.

Six, the city wall east peep Song Dynasty

During the Warring States Period, Song Yu said in Ode to Losa of Losa People: Losa people said that Song Yu was lewd in front of the king of Chu, but Song Yu denied it, saying that the beauty of the world is not comparable to that of women in my east neighborhood.
