外强中干

from 成语典故

外强中干 【释义】干:枯竭、空虚。形容表面强大而实质虚弱。 【出处】春秋·左丘明《左传·僖公十五年》 春秋时期,晋惠公亲自率兵和秦军交战。他命令手下人把他战车上的本国战马卸下,套上郑国进贡来的高头大马。大臣庆郑对晋惠公说:“自古以来,各国打仗都是使用本国出产的马匹来驾战车。晋国的马看起来似乎瘦弱一些,可是它适应本国的水土,熟悉道路,又经过训练,驾驭起来得心应手,靠得住。郑国的马虽然外貌很中看,可实际上外强中干,打起仗来万一受了惊,它就会不听指挥,乱踢乱跳,僵立原地,不知所措。如今您要驾驭这样的战马去和秦国打仗,非吃亏不可。一旦在战场上陷入进不能进、退又不能退,根本无法与敌军周旋的境地,您后悔可就来不及啦!” 晋惠公不听庆郑的忠告,仍然使用郑国的马驾车作战。结果,战斗一打响,战鼓齐擂,战场上惊天动地的喊杀声吓坏了郑国的战马。晋惠公的战车陷入了泥坑,无计可施,只能束手就擒,当了秦军的俘虏。
