We should follow the situation and lead this matter to a situation that is beneficial to us.(因勢利導)
During the Warring States Period of China,
there was a famous military strategist whose name was (Sun Bin).
There is a story about him in the history
books.
In 342 BC, the combined armies of the
Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Zhao attacked the Kingdom of Han.
The Kingdom of Han sent envoys to the
Kingdom of Qi to request military support.
The king of Qi made Tian Ji the commander
and Sun Bin as his military advisor to assist the Zhao Kingdom against the
attack of the combined forces of the Wei Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom.
This time, Tian Ji followed the method of
the battle in 354 BC and led his army to the capital of the Wei Kingdom.
He did not expect that the general who led
the Wei Kingdom's army remembered the lesson of the last failure.
Therefore, before they successfully
surrounded the capital of the Wei Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom's army had quickly
returned to defense.
The strength of the Wei Kingdom's army is
stronger than that of the Qi Kingdom's army. If the two sides go to war
head-on, then Qi Kingdom's army will definitely be defeated.
Tian Ji hurriedly called for a military
meeting and asked (Sun Bin) for his opinion.
Sun Bin said.
Our current situation is very critical, and
we must think from the position of the generals of the Wei Kingdom.
If we can guess his thinking logic, we can
follow his thinking logic and lead the development of this war to the result we
hope to get.
Tian Ji nodded in agreement.
Sun Bin continued.
The Kingdom of Wei has trained a group of
powerful troops over the past few years, and their number of soldiers far
exceeds ours.
Their soldiers think they are braver than
our soldiers in Qi Kingdom, and they often laugh at our soldiers for being very
weak in combat.
We can use their proud heart to reverse the
current disadvantage.
This idiom means that we should follow the
situation to lead a thing to a situation that is beneficial to us

中國的戰國時代，有一個著名的軍事家，他的名字叫做(孫臏)。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
西元前342年，魏王國與趙王國的聯合軍隊攻打韓王國。
韓王國派出使者向齊王國請求軍事支援。
齊國的國王讓田忌做主將，孫臏做軍師去協助趙王國對抗魏王國與趙王國的聯軍的攻擊。
這一次，田忌照著西元前354年的那一場戰役的方法，他率領著軍隊前往魏王國的首都。
他沒有預料到，率領魏王國的軍隊的將軍記得上次的失敗教訓。
因此在他們尚未成功包圍住魏王國的首都前，魏王國的軍隊已經快速回防。
魏王國的軍隊的實力比齊王國的軍隊的實力更強。如果雙方正面交戰，那麼齊王國的軍隊絕對會落敗。
田忌趕緊招開一場軍事會議並詢問(孫臏)的意見。
孫臏說。
我們現在的情況非常的危急，我們必須站在魏王國的將軍的立場去思考。
我們如果能夠猜到他的思考邏輯，我們就能夠順著他的思考邏輯，把這場戰爭的發展、引向我們希望得到的結果。
田忌點頭表示同意。
孫臏接著說。
魏王國這幾年來訓練出一批強大的軍隊，他們的士兵數量也遠遠超過我們。
他們的士兵們自認為比我們齊王國的士兵勇敢，他們常常嘲笑我們的士兵們的戰鬥力非常的弱。
我們可以利用他們這種驕傲的心裡來扭轉現在的劣勢。
這句成語的意思是我們應該順著情勢把一件事情引向對我們有利的局面
