用计战例1
  春秋时,晋太子圉(音:与)被质于秦国多年,太子圉的母亲是梁国人,而梁国是小诸侯国。梁国国君执政不力,又不体恤民众,整天只顾修造自己的宫殿、生活极其奢侈。梁国本是个小国、穷国 ,根本经受不起国君的如此折腾,因此,民众载声怨道,为逃避过重的税赋,大批难民只得纷纷逃往秦国。秦穆公趁梁国君无道、民心已乱,派大夫百里奚等,领兵攻打梁国,趁机灭了梁国,梁国君被乱民所杀。晋太子圉见秦国灭了自己的母国,感到受了莫大的羞辱,并设法逃回到晋国。不久,晋惠公去世,太子圉即位,为晋怀公。
用计战例2
  晋惠公先前曾许诺:他复国后答应将河西五城给秦国,可是,当他在秦国的护送下回国即位后,竟然毁约不给秦国五城。不料,晋国连续五年大闹旱灾、饥荒,晋国粮库空虚,老百姓四处逃荒。晋惠公听从了大臣们的建议,只得硬着头皮向秦穆公求援。穆公为晋侯背信弃义正恼羞成怒,不答应救援。秦大夫公孙枝进谏道:“是晋侯背约,晋国的老百姓是无辜的呀。现在正是晋国的老百姓在受灾,我们应该援助他。”,穆公听从了公孙枝的意见,答应了晋惠公的要求,解决了晋国的饥荒,受到晋国民众的感激。
  第二年开始,秦国却也闹起了旱灾、饥荒,原本用来防御饥荒的国库粮食,先前都救援晋国饥荒去了,秦国民心、军心不由大乱。而晋国当年恰恰是个大丰收年,于是,穆公派人到晋国求援。晋国大夫郤(音:系)芮、虢射等唆使惠公拒绝给秦国的救援,并趁秦国大闹荒灾、国情大乱之际,联合梁国去攻打秦国,必有所获。晋惠公果然背信弃义,不听良谏,却听取了虢射等人的意见,趁秦国荒灾大举进攻之;秦国也只得率三军应战。激战中,穆公险些被晋军俘获,后来幸被山野土著人救出。由于晋军失道寡助,军心不振,并且,秦军英勇作战,其将领百里奚、公孙枝、公子絷三人足智多谋,最后,秦军取得全胜,晋惠公也被秦军俘获。只可惜,惠公本想“趁火打劫”于秦国,捞取些利益,却反遭兵败如山、自身不保,这也是他背信弃义、妄自尊大的必然结果。
