A general who orders his troops to camp on
a flat area with no shelter.(白地將軍)
At the end of the Han Dynasty, China fell
into chaos. This period is known in history books as the Three Kingdoms period.
The three main kingdoms during the Three
Kingdoms period were the Cao Wei Kingdom, the Eastern Wu Kingdom and the Shu
Han Kingdom.
There was a famous general in the Cao Wei
Kingdom, his name was (Xiahou Yuan), and there is a story about him recorded in
history books.
He was a very brave general, and several
times in his career he led a small elite force in surprise attacks on the
enemy. He always reacts quickly when fighting the enemy, he is not a person who
is good at thinking and scheming.
In 218 AD, the Kingdom of Shu Han launched
an attack on the Kingdom of Cao Wei, and Xiahou Yuan was sent to the front line
to resist the Shu Han attack. Xiahou Yuan saw that the military force sent by
the Kingdom of Shu Han was very powerful, so he immediately ordered his
soldiers to build many defensive wooden fences on the front line. These wooden
fences had many spikes on them, and from a distance they looked like a whole
row of deer antlers.
The fortifications he designed were very
successful. The army of the Shu Han Kingdom was unable to attack successfully
and the war came to a stalemate.
In 219 AD, the Shu Han kingdom sent a
secret force to set fire to a large area of defensive wooden fences one night.
Upon receiving the news, Xiahou Yuan
immediately led a team of engineers to the front line to repair the burnt
wooden fences.
Meanwhile, the general of the Shu Han
Kingdom was on a high hill watching the situation on the front line. When the
general of the Shu Han Kingdom saw that Xiahou Yuan himself had brought the
engineers to the front line to inspect, he was very pleased.
The general of the Shu Han Kingdom
immediately ordered a group of the most elite troops to the front line to hunt
down Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan lost his life because of his
carelessness.
When the news of Xiahou Yuan's death
reached the capital of Cao Wei, the leader of Cao Wei were very sad.
He told the ministers attending an
emergency meeting.
I think Xiahou Yuan is very loyal and
brave, but he has a straightforward personality and often acts on instinct
without thinking when fighting the enemy.
I heard some soldiers say this about Xiahou
Yuan in private.
The soldiers said
Xiahou Yuan once ordered his troops to
position themselves on a plain with no cover. Xiahou Yuan was a general who was
not good at military tactics.
It was a big mistake on my part to send
Xiahou Yuan to command this war.
I really didn't expect him to have such a
simple mind.
I never imagined that after hearing the
news that the wooden palisade had been burned down, he would decide to lead the
engineers to the front line himself to repair the burnt wooden palisade.
He should have ordered his officers to do
so. Why did he go to the front to deal with such a trivial matter in person?
This idiom literally means a general who
orders his troops to camp on a flat area with no shelter.
It is used to describe a general who is not
good at military tactics and has no strategy.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever done something foolish? Are
you a person who thinks carefully before acting, or a person who does things
without considering the consequences?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
白地將軍(A general who orders his troops to
camp on a flat area with no shelter.)
中國漢王朝末年中國陷入一片混亂，這個時代歷史書上稱為三國時代。
三國時代最主要的三個王國是曹魏王國、東吳王國與蜀漢王國。
曹魏王國有一個著名的將軍，他的名字叫做(夏侯淵)，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他是一個非常勇敢的將軍，他生涯中有好幾次自己率領著一支人數不多的精銳部隊對敵人發動奇襲。他在與敵人對戰的時候總是快速地做出反應，他不是一個擅長思考且很有計謀的人。
西元218年，蜀漢王國對曹魏王國發動攻擊，夏侯淵被派往前線抵禦蜀漢王國的進攻。夏侯淵看到蜀漢王國派出的軍力非常強大，因此他立刻命令士兵在前線製作了很多防衛用的木柵，這種木柵上面有很多尖刺，從遠處看的時候很像是一整排的鹿角。
他所設計的防禦工事非常的成功，蜀漢王國的軍隊一直無法順利進攻，戰事陷入膠著。
西元219年，蜀漢王國派出一支秘密部隊在一個夜裡縱火燒掉一大片的防禦木柵。
夏侯淵收到這個消息之後，他立刻率領一支工兵前往前線去修復這些被燒毀的防禦木柵。
蜀漢王國的將軍那個時候正在一個高地上觀察前線的情況，當這個蜀漢王國的將軍看到夏侯淵竟然自己帶著工兵到前線視察的時候，他非常的開心。
這個蜀漢王國的將軍立刻命令一支最精銳的部隊到前線獵殺夏侯淵。
夏侯淵因為自己的疏忽失去了生命。
夏侯淵陣亡的消息傳回曹魏王國的首都後，曹魏王國的領導非常的悲痛。
他在一場緊急會議上對參與這場會議的大臣們說。
我認為夏侯淵非常忠誠又很勇敢，但是他的個性比較直率，他在與敵人對戰時常常沒有經過大腦思考就完全以本能反應行動。
我曾經聽過有些士兵們曾經私底下這樣評價夏侯淵。
這些士兵們說。
夏侯淵曾經下令讓軍隊駐紮在一片毫無遮蔽的平地上，夏侯淵是一個不擅長兵法的將軍。
我派遣夏侯淵去擔任這場戰爭的總指揮是我一個重大的錯誤決策。
我真的沒有想到他的頭腦竟然那麼單純。
我完全沒有猜想到他在聽到防禦木柵被燒毀的消息後，他竟然會決定自己帶領工兵去前線修復那些被燒壞的防禦木柵。
這種事情他應該命令手下的軍官去做就好了，他為何要親自去前線處理這種小事呢?
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是一個下令讓部隊駐紮在一片毫無遮蔽的平地上的將軍。
這句成語被用來形容一個不擅長兵法而且缺少計謀的將軍。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你曾經做過哪些糊塗事嗎?你是一個會認真思考後再行動的人還是一個做事情完全不考慮後果的人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
