唐朝时期,名将薛仁贵年轻时便展现出非凡的军事才能。一次,他奉命率军出征,面对强敌,薛仁贵毫不畏惧,他率领士兵们以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲杀过去,敌军措手不及,瞬间溃败。薛仁贵首战告捷,取得了辉煌的胜利,从此名扬天下。“马到成功”的故事正是源于薛仁贵这英勇善战的传奇经历,他骁勇善战,所向披靡,战场上如入无人之境,一战而胜,充分展现出他的军事才能和胆识,后来人们便用“马到成功”来形容事情进展顺利,很快就取得成功。
During the Tang Dynasty, the famous general Xue Rengui displayed extraordinary military talent at a young age. Once, he was ordered to lead his troops into battle. Facing a strong enemy, Xue Rengui was fearless. He led his soldiers in a lightning-fast attack, catching the enemy off guard and causing an instant rout. Xue Rengui won his first battle and achieved a glorious victory, making him famous throughout the land. The story of "immediate success" originates from Xue Rengui's legendary heroic deeds. He was brave and invincible, and on the battlefield, he was in his element, winning the first battle. This fully demonstrated his military talent and courage. Later, people used "immediate success" to describe things progressing smoothly and quickly achieving success.
