For example, during Li Longji's reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a man used an empty city plan to resist foreign invasion. This man is none other than "meritorious border town, a tiger minister in the world." Zhang Shousheng, the general of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Shousheng (684~740) was born in Hebei County, Shaanxi Province (now Pinglu County, Shanxi Province). Father Zhang Yifu, a gift from Yuzhou. Zhang Shousheng is big and good at riding and shooting. He came from a military background and contributed a lot. Won the appreciation of Tang Xuanzong.
In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, in 727, the Tubo people attacked Guazhou, and Wang Junhuan, who was our envoy in Hexi at that time, died unfortunately. The situation in Hexi is in crisis. In order to reverse the situation and resist the Tubo invasion, Zhang Shousheng was sent to Guazhou as the secretariat of Guazhou on the orders of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
After receiving the order, Zhang Shousheng took several Qin Bing and immediately went to Guazhou to take office. In Guazhou, Zhang Shousheng was shocked. The original Guazhou city has been plundered by the Tubo people, and the city walls are also incomplete, and there are broken scenes everywhere. Zhang Shoujue neglected the fatigue of pommel horse and immediately arranged for the military and civilians to repair the city without rest. Because the Tubo people just left temporarily, it is uncertain when they will come back, so it is urgent to repair their homes as soon as possible.
In Guazhou, when Qi Xin, a military and civilian, joined forces to build a wall, the Tubo army was killed again. Before the war was repaired, the enemy was Enemy at the Gates. In desperation, Zhang Shousheng remembered Zhuge Liang's empty plan during the Three Kingdoms period, and simply played along. Maybe it will work, and it is better to scare off the Tubo people. If you don't run away, you'll have to resign yourself to fate!
Because, at this time, I want to confront the Tubo people. Being outnumbered is no match for others, and I have suffered heavy losses before, so I have to do it. Zhang Shousheng staged an empty plan. First of all, Zhang Shousheng calmed the soldiers and civilians and told them not to panic. Therefore, Zhuge Liang, a strategist of the Three Kingdoms, followed Zhuge Liang's example and ordered people to hold a banquet on the rostrum, drink and have fun with several soldiers, and specially arranged singers to sing and dance. At the same time, he ordered the gate to be wide open, and only when the Tubo people arrived, Zhang Shousheng assumed a posture of sitting on Mount Tai.
In fact, the appearance is calm, and there is no bottom in my heart. After all, this is an adventurous behavior. If the whole army is not good, it will be wiped out and the people in the city will be slaughtered. But Zhang Shousheng had no choice. Faced with the pressure of the Tubo soldiers, we can't fight, fight, defend, and defend. We can only fight!
At that time, the Tubo people had surrounded Guazhou, and the leader who took the lead suddenly looked up and saw Tang Junbing drinking and having fun on the wall, completely ignoring them. At that time, the leader was a little sleepy and had never seen this battle. After observing in situ for a long time, I didn't dare to venture into the city. I suspected that there was a heavy ambush in the city, and finally I really fucking retreated.
