【Idiom Story】:

During the Warring States Period, the Duke of Jin Nao united twelve vassal states to attack the Qin State, and the commander of the coalition army was Xun Yan, the general of the Jin State.

Gou Yan originally thought that the Twelve Nations Alliance was attacking Qin. The Qin army must have panicked. Unexpectedly, Jing Gong had already learned that the coalition forces were uneven and their morale was low, so he was not timid and did not want to seek peace. Gou Yan had no choice but to prepare for battle, and he issued an order to the generals of the whole army, saying: "Tomorrow morning." As soon as the rooster crowed, he began to set off on horseback and cart. All armies were to fill in wells and dismantle stoves. When I was fighting, the whole army would look at my horse's head to determine the direction of action. I ran there, and everybody ran there. ”

Unexpectedly, the generals of Gou Yan's army thought that Gou Yan's feint order was tyrannical, and he was disgusted and said: "The Jin Kingdom has never given such an order, why should you listen to him?" Well, his horse's head is west, and I want to go east. ”。

The general's deputy said: "He is our head, and I listen to him." So he also led his own army to the east: and with this the whole army was immediately confused.

Gou Yan lost his lower army, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since the orders given cannot be carried out, there will be no hope of victory, and a battle will definitely benefit the Qin army." He had no choice but to order the entire army to be withdrawn.
