English Translation:
During the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo was a general of Zhao. He had studied military books since childhood and could discuss warfare brilliantly. But he had never been on a battlefield. When he replaced Lian Po to command the army, he only copied theories from books. As a result, the Zhao army was defeated and Zhao Kuo died on the battlefield.
