He stakes his entire fortune on this one game.(孤注一擲)
There was a famous general called (Bo Yan)
in the Yuan Dynasty.
History books tell a story about him.
In 1274 AD, he led the army to attack the
Southern Song Dynasty.
The army of the Southern Song Dynasty
gathered for battle in Hankou City in what is now Hubei Province in China.
The city is located in the middle reaches
of the Yangtze River and is a very important strategic city.
An important tributary of the Yangtze River
flows into the Yangtze here.
At the end of 1274 AD, the army he led
surrounded the military fortress of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The situation was very unfavourable for the
Song Dynasty.
He sent a special envoy to meet the
generals of the Song Dynasty.
The special envoy said to the generals of
the Song Dynasty
Our soldiers outnumber yours and we have
surrounded your fortress.
You will soon be conquered by us, you can
choose to surrender, if you choose to surrender, we will save the lives of all
of you.
The Song general said angrily to the envoy.
We swear allegiance to the Song Dynasty and
will never surrender.
We are like a gambler who stakes all his
wealth on a game, and we will do our best to fight you without reservation.
We believe that we will win the final
victory and defeat you.
A few days later, although the Song army
was confident, they could not withstand the fierce Yuan offensive.
The Song fortress was breached and hundreds
of thousands of soldiers died in the battle.
This idiom means that he bet all his
property in this game
Dear friend, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
How many people died in the most tragic
battle you have ever heard of? If you were a general of the Song Dynasty, what
would be your choice?
I hope this story can bring you a new harvest.
孤注一擲(He stakes his entire fortune on this
one game.)
元王朝有一個著名的將軍名字叫做(伯顏)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
西元1274年，他率領軍隊攻打南宋王朝。
南宋王朝的軍隊聚集在現在中國的湖北省的漢口市準備迎戰。
這座城市位於長江中游是一座很重要的戰略城市。
有一條長江的重要支流在此匯入長江。
西元1274年底，他領導的軍隊包圍了南宋王朝的軍事堡壘。
情勢對宋王朝非常的不利。
他派出一名特使去見宋王朝的將軍。
這位特使對宋王朝的將軍說。
我們的士兵數量遠勝於你們，我們已經包圍你們的堡壘。
你們很快就會被我們攻克，你們可以選擇投降，如果你們選擇主動投降，那麼我們會保全你們全部人的性命。
宋王朝的將軍很憤怒地對這個特使說。
我們誓死效忠宋王朝， 我們絕對不會投降。
我們就像是一個把全部的財產押住在一場賭博中的賭徒，我們會毫不保留的竭盡全力對抗你們。
我們相信我們會贏得最後的勝利，我們會打敗你們。
幾天後，宋王朝的軍隊雖然有著強烈的信心，但是他們沒有辦法抵擋元王朝的凌厲攻勢。
宋王朝的堡壘被攻破，幾十萬的士兵死在這場戰役中。
這一句成語的意思是他在這一場賭局中押注了他的全部財產
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。
你聽過的最一場慘烈的戰役中死了幾個人呢?你如果是宋王朝的將軍你會做出何種選擇呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
