纸上谈兵

子日:狂而不直,侗而不愿,而不信,吾不知之矣。
This is basically saying that he had no hands-on experience, so he could not succeed. He also didn't really understand the topic, he just tried to make it seem like he did. He thought everyone else was inferior and was arrogant and reckless. So in the end, he failed. He did not know that his army needed more than basic commands. It needed food, belief in its commander, among other things. This is why he lost in his battles and eventually doomed the himself, his army, and his country. He charged his whole army without thinking and got the city under siege. Then his whole arm starved, resorted to cannibalism, and he got killed. Then the army got buried alive. The end.
