The name of the founding king of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history was (Liu Bang). And the name of the most important general who assisted him in founding the Han Dynasty was (Han Xin).

 

The story of (Han Xin)'s life is very wonderful, and one of his stories is recorded in history.

He was the commander-in-chief of the Han Kingdom's army.

 

In 205 BC, he led the army of the Han Kingdom to defeat the Kingdoms of Wei and Dai.

After the end of these two battles, he did not rest, and he immediately led the army to attack the Kingdom of Zhao.

 

In this battle, although the number of soldiers of the Kingdom of Han was far less than that of the Kingdom of Zhao, he still won a great victory.

 

After the victory, he held a celebratory dinner.

Said the officer to him at the dinner.

 

From the past to the present, no one has ever decided to station an army by the river, because this will leave the army with no place to retreat.

Therefore, when we heard this order from you, we felt doubt and fear.

 

But why did you come up with this wonderful tactic,

Why this counterintuitive tactic of yours allowed us to win this battle.

I must use an objective environment to create a strong desire to survive in everyone's heart.

 

Because I took these factors into consideration, I finally made this decision. .

 

These officers said with admiration.

陷之死地而後生(When we feel death is near, we try our best to survive)

 

中國歷史上的漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。而協助他創建漢王朝的最重要的將軍的名字是(韓信)

 

(韓信)一生的故事非常的精采,歷史上記載了一個他的故事。

他是漢王國的軍隊的總指揮官。

 

西元前205年,他率領漢王國的軍隊打敗了魏王國與代王國。

結束這兩場戰役後,他沒有休息,他又立刻帶領著軍隊前往攻打趙王國。

 

這場戰役,雖然漢王國的士兵人數遠遠少於趙王國的人數,但他還是取得了巨大的勝利。

 

勝利之後,他舉開一個慶功晚宴。

在晚宴上軍官對他說。

 

從以前到現在,從來沒有人會決定要把軍隊駐紮在河邊,因為這樣會讓這支軍隊沒有可以後退的地方。

因此,當我們聽到你下的這個命令時,我們覺得懷疑與害怕。

 

但你為何想出這個奇妙的戰術,

為何你這個違反常識的戰術可以讓我們取得這場戰役。

 

他微笑著回答。

兵法書上有一句話。當我們感覺到死亡近在眼前,我們會盡力讓自己活下來

這句話看似簡單但是卻有很深刻的含意。

 

你們大家都讀過這句話,但是你們沒有深刻的思考該如何把這句話用在實際生活上。

 

我們與敵人的人數相差很大。

但只要我們支撐到我們另外一個小隊瓦解敵人的戰鬥意志的時候,我們就能贏得這場戰役。

 

我為了調動起大家的危機意識,我為了讓大家都理解到我們的情況的險峻。我必須讓每個士兵都使出全力與敵人對抗。

我必須用客觀的環境讓每個人的心裡產生強烈的求生慾望。

 

因為我考慮到這些因素,所以我最後做出這個決定。。

 

這些軍官們都很佩服地說。

你是一個最棒的將軍,你的思考高度是我們無法達到的。

 

這一句成語的意思是當我們感覺到死亡近在眼前,我們會盡力讓自己活下來。

這句成語提醒我們,只有當我們沒有退路的時候"我們才會下定決心一定要取得成功。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。

你人生中對你影響最大的一句話為何呢?你看書的時候會去思考如何把書中的知識運用在自己的生活上嗎?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
