    Zhao Kuo

    Zhao Kuo (died 260 BC), a general of the state of [[赵国|趙國|zhao4 guo2]] during the Warring States period; he was famously defeated at the Battle of Changping after replacing the cautious [[廉颇|廉頗|lian2 po1]], and is the origin of the idiom 'fighting on paper' due to his lack of practical experience despite his knowledge of military theory.
