It's a kettle, that is, a pot. "Burn one's bridges" means smashing the rice cooker and sinking the ferry. Metaphor does not leave a retreat, determined to go all out. Story: In three years, hundreds of thousands of people attacked Zhao's giant deer, and Zhao asked for help. Chu Huaiwang sent Song Yi and Xiang Yu to lead tens of thousands of troops to clear the way. The army came to Anyang and stopped suddenly. It has been stopped for 46 days. Xiang Yu couldn't help asking Yi Song: "Since Qin Jun has stormed the stag, we must cross the water as soon as possible to cooperate with Zhao Jun to defeat Qin Jun." Said, "no! If I beat Zhao, I can attack them when they are tired. If Zhao is defeated, you don't need to know. Fight and listen to you, and make suggestions and listen to me. " At this time, the stag is in danger, and Yi Song is still indifferent. Xiang Yu was furious and killed Yi Song. The army crossed the water at once. After crossing the river, Xiang Yu ordered that all the ferries should be sunk, all the pots should be broken, and each person should take only three days' dry food and head for Julu. At the gates of Julu, he fought nine wars in a row, suffered a crushing defeat, and the siege of Zhao was broken. This is the famous story of "cross the rubicon" in history. With the mission of helping the poor, Yi Song did not take action, which was unfair and took advantage of fishermen. However, Xiang Yu was worried about the stag. In the face of powerful Qin Jun, Xiang Yu did not wait passively, but cut off his retreat with the heart of victory, which was overwhelming and indeed a great courage. Later generations used this to describe their determination to turn back. Minghui-school/school/article/2003/10/30/26004 The "last stop" of the last stop was in a desperate situation, fighting to the death for a living. (From Historical Records Biography of Huaiyin Hou) In October of the third year of Emperor Gaozu (204 BC), Han Xin led 10,000 newly recruited Han troops across Taihang Mountain and attacked Zhao, the territory of Xiang Yu, eastward. Zhao Wang and General Chen Yu concentrated 200,000 troops and occupied Jingxingkou, a throat area east of Taihang Mountain, to prepare for war. To the west of Jingxingkou, there is a narrow path about a hundred miles long, with mountains on both sides and narrow roads, which is the only place for Han Xin. Li Zuoche, Zhao Jun's counselor, made a plan: fight a frontal defense, send troops around the back to cut off Han Xin's grain transportation route, and trap Han Xin on the narrow road in Jingxing. Chen Yu didn't listen and said, "There are only a few thousand people in Han Xin, thousands of miles away. If you avoid and don't strike, won't you let the princes see jokes? " "After Han Xin learned the news, he quickly led the Han army into the narrow road in Jingxing and camped three miles away in Jingxing. In the middle of the night, Han Xin sent two thousand Qingqi, each holding the flag of the Han army, to ambush behind Zhao Daying through a path. Han Xin warned: "When we are in war, Zhao will definitely rush out to catch up with our army. You rushed into Zhao's camp, pulled out Zhao's banner and erected the red flag of the Han army. " After eating some simple dry food, the rest of the Han army immediately headed for Jingxingkou. At Jingxingkou, the brigade crossed the water and lined up behind it. When Zhao Jun saw it from afar, they all laughed at Han Xin. After dawn, Han Xin set up a general's flag and ceremonial, and led the people to leave Jingxing. Chen Yu rate Qingqi elite swarmed out and captured Han Xin alive. Han Xin pretended to abandon the flag and fled back to the position by the river. Zhao was ordered to attack the whole battalion, which was in line with the position of the Han army. Thanks to no way back, the Han army fought bravely for the first place. The two sides fought for a long time, but Zhao Jun couldn't win. At this time, Zhao wanted to go back to the camp, only to find that his camp was full of flags of the Han army, and the team was suddenly in chaos. Han Xin tried to fight back, Zhao was defeated and killed, and Zhao Wang was captured. After the war, someone asked, "Sun Tzu's art of war says that fighting with the back of the mountain and fighting with the water. This time, we in last stand won. Why? Han Xin said, "Isn't it also said in Sun Tzu's Art of War that' you will die after being trapped'? You just didn't notice. Minghui-School/School/Articles /2005/ 1/25/40469
