The wisdom of the meat eater is translated, and the meat eater is disdainfully translated

Aizi's neighbors are all rough people in the Qi country.

He heard a person chatting with people and said, "The great officials of the Qi country I deal with are all people endowed with the aura of heaven, earth, and man, why do they have wisdom and I don't?" Another said:

They eat meat every day, so they are wise; I usually eat whole grains, so I don't have much wisdom. "That.

The questioner said, "I happen to have a few thousand copper coins to sell grain, so I'll give you a try to eat meat every day." ”

A few days later, I heard the two of them chat: "Since I have eaten meat, my thinking has been clear and intelligent, and I have the ability to solve things when I encounter them, not only have the wisdom to solve problems, but also have the profound truth in it." The other said:

I look at the surface of people's feet, it is appropriate to stick out from the front, if they stick out to the back, isn't it going to be stepped on by the people who come from behind? The man said, "I also see that the nostrils of a man grow well downward, and if they go up, will they not be filled with rain from heaven?"

The two call each other smart.

Ai Zi sighed: "The intelligence of meat eaters is nothing more than that! ”

In the spring of the tenth year of the reign of Lu Zhuanggong, the army of Qi attacked our Lu country. Lu Zhuang Gong is about to fight. Cao Di asked to see Lu Zhuanggong.

His fellow townsman said, "Those who are big officials will plan this, so why should you be involved?" Cao Di said

Powerful people are short-sighted and incapable of thinking far-sightedly. So he went up to the court to meet Lu Zhuanggong. Cao Di asked

What conditions do you rely on to fight against the Qi Kingdom? Lu Zhuanggong said: "I don't dare to enjoy health things such as food and clothing, I dare not enjoy them alone, and I must share them with the people around me."

Cao Di said: "This kind of small favor has not spread to the people, and the people will not listen to you." Lu Zhuanggong said

I never dare to falsely report and exaggerate the number of sacrificial pigs, cattle and sheep, jade, silk fabrics, etc., and I must be honest and credible. Cao Di said: "This little honesty cannot be trusted by the gods.

The gods will not bless you. Lu Zhuanggong said: "Even if I can't clearly investigate all the different cases, big and small, I will definitely make a reasonable judgment based on the facts."

Cao Di said: "This is the kind of thing that has done its duty to the people, and you can fight a war with this condition." If there is going to be a war, allow me to follow you.

> that day, Lu Zhuanggong and Cao Di rode in the same chariot. Fight in the Long Spoon and the Qi Army. Lu Zhuang violently demolished the stuffy prince and was about to order the drumming to march.

Cao Di said: "Not now. "Wait until the Qi army beats the drum three times.

Cao Di said: "It's time to beat the drum and march." "The Qi army was defeated.

Lu Zhuanggong ordered to drive a horse to chase the Qi army. Cao Di said: "Not yet.

After speaking, he got off the chariot, inspected the traces of the Qi army's wheels, boarded the chariot again, and held the crossbar in front of the chariot to look at the formation of the Qi army, and then said: "You can pursue." So he pursued the Qi army.

After winning the battle, Lu Zhuanggong asked him the reason for his victory. Cao Di said: "Fighting depends on courage.

The first drumming was able to cheer up the courage of the soldiers. The courage of the soldiers began to fall when Yu Yui beat the drum for the second time, and the courage of the soldiers for the third drum was exhausted. Their courage has disappeared and the courage of our army is growing, so we have defeated them.

In a big country like Qi, it is difficult to speculate on their situation, and they are afraid that they will have ambushes there. Later, when I saw that the tracks of their wheels were confused, and saw that their flags had fallen, I gave the order to pursue them. ”

(1) Those who occupy high positions and enjoy good fortune are short-sighted and incapable of foresight

2) This is a matter of duty, you can fight a battle on this condition, and if you fight, please let me go with you

Translation: A man of high latitude is short-sighted and cannot make long-term plans.

Meat eaters are despised, and in the old days, it referred to people who were in high positions and had a lot of money and were short-sighted.

Those in power are short-sighted and incapable of foresight.
