He was a famous general of the Chu Kingdom
in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a story about him is recorded in history
books.
In 701 BC, he led an army to garrison the
border of the Chu Kingdom.
One day, he received a secret message that
the Kingdom of Yun, which bordered the Kingdom of Chu, had secretly summoned
four kingdoms to form a coalition to attack the Kingdom of Chu.
Due to the urgency of the situation, he
called a war council.
During the meeting, his military staff
reported.
According to the latest information, the
army of the Yun Kingdom has completed its deployment on the border.
The armies of the other four kingdoms are
expected to arrive tomorrow.
If the armies of their five kingdoms are
successfully assembled, we will not be able to resist their attacks.
I think we should launch a surprise attack
on the Yun Kingdom tonight.
He replied after listening to the military
staff officer's report.
Our current army is smaller than Yun
Kingdom's. If we launch a surprise attack, we might not be able to win.
We should hurry and ask the king to send
another army to help us.
Said his military advisor.
The most important factor in winning or
losing a war is not the number of soldiers, but whether the soldiers are
united.
I think we should launch a surprise attack,
and I believe we can definitely defeat the Kingdom of Yun.
Still hesitating, he replied.
I can't make a decision, I think we'll do
the divination first.
We will decide whether to launch an attack
tonight based on the results of the divination.
Said his military adviser.
When we are confused about our future, we
use horary to determine how we should act.
I think our future is already clearly
unfolding before our eyes.
We have no time to wait for reinforcements.
If we don't act now, when the armies of
their five kingdoms are assembled, the disparity in our military strength will
become even greater.
This is our best option, we don't need to
divine.
After careful consideration, he nodded in
agreement with the staff officer's opinion.
That night, the army of the Chu Kingdom
launched a surprise attack on the army of the Yun Kingdom.
The army of the Chu Kingdom was victorious,
and he successfully resolved the crisis.

他是春秋時代楚王國的一個著名的將軍，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
西元前701年，他帶著一支軍隊駐守在楚王國的邊界。
有一天，他收到一個祕密的情報，與楚王國毗鄰的鄖王國暗中召集了四個王國要組成聯軍來攻打楚王國。
因為事態緊急，所以他召開了一場軍事會議。
在這場會議中，他的軍事參謀說。
根據最新的情報，鄖王國的軍隊已經完成在邊界的佈署。
另外四個王國的軍隊也預計在明天就會抵達。
如果他們五個王國的軍隊順利集結，那麼我們將會無法抵禦他們的攻擊。
我認為我們應該在今晚立刻對鄖王國發動奇襲。
他聽完軍事參謀的報告後他回答。
我們目前的軍隊人數少於鄖王國的軍隊人數。我們發動奇襲後不一定可以贏得勝利。
我們應該趕緊要求國王派出另一支軍隊來支援我們。
他的軍事參謀說。
影響一場戰爭的勝敗最重要的因素不在於士兵的人數而在於士兵們是否同心。
我認為我們應該發動奇襲，我相信我們一定可以打敗鄖王國。
他還是很猶豫所以他回答。
我無法做出決定，我看我們先進行卜事吧。
我們根據占卜的結果再來決定是否要今天晚上發動進攻。
他的軍事參謀說。
我們對於我們的未來感到迷惑時，我們會透過卜卦來決定我們該如何行動。
我認為我們的未來已經很清楚地展現在我們的眼前。
我們沒有時間等待援軍。
若我們現在沒有採取行動，等他們五個王國的軍隊集結後，我們雙方的軍力會變得更加懸殊。
這是我們最好的解決方案，我們沒有必要卜卦。
他仔細的思考後，他點頭表示同意這個參謀的觀點。
楚王國的軍隊當天晚上發動對鄖王國的軍隊的奇襲。
楚王國的軍隊贏得了勝利，他成功地化解了這次的危機。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你是否曾占卜呢?你是否曾經對自己的未來感到疑惑呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
