What are the famous intrigues and intrigues in ancient China?
There are four most famous opening schemes in the history of China, which are still textbook schemes.

First, wai Wei to save Zhao

Let's talk about tactics on the battlefield first. I believe everyone is familiar with Wei's siege and Zhao's rescue. This allusion will be mentioned in school textbooks.

When Wei besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao, Zhao asked Qi for help, but Qi did not choose to go directly to Handan for help. Qi Bing set out all the way to the capital of Wei, and set an ambush on the only way from Zhao to Wei.

The main force of Wei is on Zhao's side, and the capital is naturally lax. The capital of Wei was besieged by Qi, so the army that attacked Zhao could only choose to return home as soon as possible. Although Wei knew it was a trick of Qi, they knew that if the capital was broken, it would not help to defeat Zhao.

Qi also used this trick to save Zhao directly without spending too much troops.

Two. Decisive decree

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the territory was divided up by many governors, the territory of the governors became wider and wider, and their power became greater and greater.

So that these princes became more and more arrogant and disobeyed the management of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Yan Fu saw this, he presented a plan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was called "the order of pushing grace". The law of favor advocates that princes not only pass on their eldest sons, but also concubines can get fiefs.

Although the pardon seems to be for the benefit of the princes' children, it is actually to cause a fight between them.

No matter whether the governors of all parties implement the pardon order or not, they will face problems. If the vassal carried out the imperial edict, the vassal's territory and power would be dispersed, and these fiefs would be grateful to the court, so it would be easier for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to manage. If the vassals don't carry out the decree of favor, or pass all the fiefs and powers to the eldest son, then the illegitimate children will rebel and the brothers will kill each other. Maybe in order to grab rights and territory, the whole family will die, and the rights will easily return to the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Three. Two peaches killed three scholars.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were three outstanding generals under Qi Jinggong, all of whom were outstanding figures in military exploits.

Gong, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi have made many contributions, but it is precisely because of their outstanding achievements that their temper is becoming more and more arrogant. Slowly, Qi Jinggong found that although these three men had made great contributions to themselves, they now threatened their position, so he wanted to get rid of them. Therefore, Yan Zi put forward a plan for Qi Jinggong. Qi Jinggong invited these three people and said that there were two peaches for them, but there were only two peaches and three people. How to divide it?

Qi Jinggong lets them compete, and the two with high scores can get peaches. So Gongsun received Tian Kaijiang and began to report his contribution. And the two took the initiative to take the peach in their own hands. And Tanoko became angry at first sight and began to report his achievements. After receiving Tian Kaijiang and listening to Tanoko's contribution, Gongsun felt ashamed. He let the peach out and committed suicide on the spot.

Tanoko also chose to commit suicide on the spot, because he felt that he had just lost his temper and let the two ministers sacrifice themselves. In this way, Qi Jinggong easily got rid of these three people with two peaches.

4. Holding the emperor to make friends with ministers

The plan was originally suggested by the counselor to Yuan Shao, but it could not be implemented because other counselors disagreed. Counselors around Cao Cao also put forward a similar plan for him, but Cao Cao was very satisfied with this plan. So Cao Cao used this strategy to attract many talented people and ministers. Even though Lu Bu and Liu Biao were unwilling to submit to Cao Cao at that time, Cao Cao had to submit to him because he was ordered by the son of heaven to plead with him in everything.
