During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yin, the son of the State of Chu, wanted to show his talents by making contributions to win the favor of his sister-in-law Mrs. Wen after the death of his younger brother King Wen, so he led an army to attack Zheng in 666 BC.

Of course, Zheng can't fight against the powerful Chu State. Seeing that Chu's army is approaching the capital, ministers are debating whether to fight, make peace or leave. At this time, Shangqing proposed to insist on aiding Korea (Zheng and Qi have a covenant).

Uncle Zhan took advantage of Gongzi Yuan's eagerness to please Mrs Wen and fear of failure, and ordered all the soldiers in the city to lie in ambush so as not to let the other side see a single soldier, while the shops in the city were open as usual, and the people exchanged as usual without any panic. When the pioneers of the Chu army attacked the capital of Zheng, they saw this scene and were puzzled. He mistakenly thought there was an ambush in the city and dared not attack the city.

After the follow-up troops of Chu arrived, Gongziyuan listened to the pioneer's report, so he boarded the highland and looked at the whole city. Although he saw that the city was really empty, he vaguely saw Zheng's flag army, so he suspected fraud and dared not attack the city rashly.

Soon, Qi got Zheng's help and joined forces with Lu and Song to send troops to save Zheng. When Gong Ziyuan learned of this incident, he had to lead the army to retreat.

2. Li Guang: General Fei plans to retreat from Xiongnu.

When Li Guang was the county magistrate of Shang Jun, the eunuch sent by the emperor went out hunting and was attacked by three Xiongnu soldiers. The eunuch was injured and fled back, and his entourage was either dead or injured. In a rage, Li Guang led hundreds of troops to chase after him for dozens of miles, killing two people and taking one alive.

However, just as Li Guang was preparing to return to camp, tarquin, with more than 3,000 people, suddenly appeared. Tarquin also found Li Guang's troops, but he mistakenly thought that they were the vanguard of the Western Han army to lure the enemy, so he didn't attack rashly, but just occupied the highlands to observe the movement.

Li Guang's cavalry was extremely alarmed when they saw the number of the other side, and suggested that Li Guang immediately return to camp. However, Li Guang knew that it was not easy for the vast grassland to escape from tarquin, who was good at riding. Seeing that the other side didn't attack immediately, he couldn't help thinking about the reason. Instead of retreating, he stopped only two miles away from the enemy and ordered all his soldiers to dismount, unload their saddles and lie on the ground to have a leisurely rest.

Tarquin saw Li Guang so, which deepened their doubts, so the Xiongnu generals sent several people to test the reality. As a result, Li Guang immediately mounted the horse, killed the Xiongnu soldiers, and then dismounted to rest. Xiongnu generals became more suspicious when they saw this, fearing that they would be raided by large troops, but they had no choice but to retreat. Until the Xiongnu soldiers retreated, Guang led more than 100 of his men back to the camp.

3. Zhang Shougui

Zhang Shougui was a famous frontier general in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty. During my busy schedule, he has been guarding the border for a long time, fighting against the invaders of Turks, Khitan and Tubo many times and making meritorious deeds. Known as "meritorious border town, world tiger minister."

It is said that in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan (AD 727), the Tubo people attacked Guazhou (now southwest of Anxi, Gansu), and the garrison commander Wang Junhuan died, and Zhang Shougui was appointed as the secretariat of Guazhou. As soon as he arrived, he immediately organized soldiers and people to build a wall to resist the enemy's attack. But before the wall was repaired, the Tubo people suddenly attacked and hit the city gate.

Everyone turned pale with fear, but Zhang Shougui was very calm. He used his quick wits and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, so we can't fight hard with sharp arrows and stones. We must use tactics to retreat. " So he boarded the tower, bought wine and had fun, and found musicians to play the piano and sing, and gave a big banquet to treat the soldiers. When the Tubo people saw that there was an ambush in the suspected city, they retreated without fighting. Zhang Shougui immediately led his troops in pursuit and defeated the Tubo people.

4. Liu Kun

During the Western Jin Dynasty, tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers besieged Jinyang. Liu Kun with a genial smile that, such as recklessly with the enemy, is bound to defeat the city, so tight defense, while writing for reinforcements. Seven days have passed, reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and the city is poor in food and grass, and the war is in turmoil. Liu Kun boarded the tower, overlooking the enemy camp outside the city, thinking hard about countermeasures.

Suddenly, he remembered the story of "besieged on all sides", so he ordered all the soldiers who could play Hu Jia to report to the account, and soon formed a Hu Jia band to play "Hu Xiang" towards the enemy camp. They blew mournfully, and the Xiongnu soldiers were demoralized. This song was played again in the middle of the night, and the Xiongnu soldiers missed their hometown and came back in tears.

5. Cao Cao

This was the case when Cao Cao used an empty plan, except that Cao Cao's influence was not very great, but he already had his own territory, and his neighbor was Lu Bu's territory. At that time, the princes of the Three Kingdoms were at war, and Lu Bu wanted to annex Cao Cao, so he led the troops to attack.

Unfortunately, because the wheat was ripe in autumn, Cao Cao sent most of his troops outside the city to collect rations. His troops are busy cutting wheat, and only a few troops are guarding the city. Lyu3 bu4 to attack to kill, the people in the city a panic, I don't know what to do. Cao Cao was also in a hurry at this time.

Talented people are just different. Cao Cao kept calm at this extremely dangerous moment and asked his family and many people in the city to sing and dance on the wall. He also ordered the city gate to be opened, and only a few soldiers guarded the city. When Lu Bu found this situation, he knew that Cao Cao had always been cunning, and he was afraid when he looked at the impenetrable Woods on the side.

So Lu Bu did not attack the city, but led the troops back to defense. Cao Cao solved the urgent need.
