曹操割发代首
子日：“其身正，不令而行；其身不正，虽令不从。”
The general Caocao has such well-trained and trusting soldiers that they know what he is going to say before he says it. So when he breaks his own rules, punishable by death, he almost kills himself, but his soldiers stop him. They say that he is so important to the war effort that he cannot suicide. Instead, he cuts off his hair and uses it as an example of his sacrifice for the war. So in the end, when they were outnumbered 5 to 1, they still won because their soldiers were better trained and more trusting and admiring of their general, who would sacrifice his hair to help the war.
