Zhao Kuo's imprudence on paper has serious consequences.

For idioms related to Zhao Kuo, the first reaction of ordinary people is an armchair strategist. Here, besides talking on paper, I also add an idiom with many words.

Next, let's talk about the meaning and function of these two idioms in detail.

Theoretically, first of all, we understand words literally. Generally speaking, if a soldier does not refer to military books, or a soldier, or a person who joins the army, it may be an armchair strategist, that is, books, which do not involve the actual level. The dialogue here is not a simple dialogue, but a dialogue and exchange. Then, talking on paper is to talk about and exchange the art of war and the formation of troops through the knowledge of books.

Talk, just like the idiom "on paper", is talk. The whole meaning of this idiom is to talk, talk about things or write a short article. It is very grandiose and describes people as unrealistic and boastful.

Then there may be another problem. Why do people think of these two idioms when they talk about Zhao Kuo? This was the result of a defeat commanded by Zhao Kuo, which was the famous battle of Changping in history.

I am proficient in the art of war and have some research on the formation of troops. However, because he was young, he didn't accumulate any actual combat experience, and didn't properly analyze the changes of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, thus adjusting and changing the whole offensive or defensive strategy, which eventually led to the defeat of Zhao Kuo and the annihilation of Zhao's 400,000 troops.

The two idioms of "talking on paper" and "boasting" tell us that it is not enough to have enough theoretical knowledge. You must have personal experience before you can say that you know one thing and one skill.

Zhao Kuo is an armchair strategist

Zhao Kuo, most people know him from the idiom "an armchair strategist". Most of the comments on him in history are negative images. Everyone thinks that this person is incompetent and can only speak fast, but when it comes to practical operation, it seems that he has no talent.

But in fact, what kind of person is Zhao Kuo? Is his deeds really as bad as people say? Next, let's take a closer look at this man and study his life story.

Zhao Kuo, surnamed Zhao, is naturally a native of Zhao. At that time, Zhao's strength was ok. Originally, I wanted to unite Qin, but later I failed to cooperate successfully for subjective reasons. Finally, Qin was very angry and sent troops to attack Zhao.

At that time, the head coach of Zhao was a veteran general Lian Po, but Qin knew that Lian Po was old, but his strength should not be underestimated, so he spread rumors everywhere that if Zhao Kuo attacked our country, our country would definitely lose. Once this story spread, Zhao Guojun actually believed it and really changed Zhao Kuo and Lian Po.

Zhao Kuo, in fact, is not that kind of ignorant person. It's just that he lacks experience in big battles. Although his theory is perfect, he doesn't know how to use it flexibly in practice. Now Zhao Kuo is like a newly graduated high flyers, talented but incompetent, with high scores but low energy. If such talents get guidance and experience, they will certainly do something great. However, it is too rash to expect such people to support the great cause of our country independently.

Because of Zhao Guojun's reckless behavior, the whole state of Zhao paid a heavy price.

How did Zhao Kuo fail?

Zhao Kuo, as the new coach of Zhao, took the place of veteran Lian Po in the battle of Changping. He was confused when he failed. Then why did he become a coach? What extraordinary talents did he have that led Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po as coach? This is why Zhao Kuo was defeated in this battle?

First of all, talk about Zhao Kuo's character and specialty. This is straightforward, and it can be said that there is no talent. The so-called newborn calf, he is brave in innovation, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. Besides, he was born in a family of military commanders. He was born with his own idea of arranging troops and having a good memory. He is already familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War and other books, and can make changes in combination with different war scenes.

Even so, does Zhao Guojun think that Zhao Kuo is better than Lian Po veteran? Why replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo instead? In fact, it had external help, that is, the provocation of the King of Qin and the unknown investigation by Zhao Guojun, which led to the change of coaches halfway. This is the enemy's taboo among military commanders.

The failures of Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kuo are two-sided. One is to find reasons from oneself, but still too young. He has no actual combat experience and his ability to respond to the enemy on the spot is very poor. But he also has his advantages. He is decisive and dares to make judgments. This has also gained many opportunities in this campaign.

The other is another coach, Tian Lei, who is very good, even better than Lian Po. As a newcomer, Zhao Kuo's theory is so solid, but his practice is poor. To say the least, despite its rich practical experience, Tian Lei is still a pediatrician.

It can be said that the substitution of Lian Po ended the defeat in the battle of Changping.
