Idioms and allusions
During the Three Kingdoms period, after Huang Zhong and Yan Yan captured Taiyang mountain, Huang Zhong led his troops to march to Dingjun mountain. When he came to Dingjun mountain, Huang Zhong challenged him many times, but Xia Houyuan, the general of Dingjun mountain, didn't come out to fight. Because the terrain there was quite complicated and he didn't know the details of the enemy, Huang Zhong had to settle down. At this time, Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan to take the initiative to attack, and wrote a letter to warn that one must combine hardness and softness, and the other must be brave and resourceful. Xia Houyuan thought it over and over again, and finally came up with a plan. He asked Xia HOUSHANG to lure Huang Zhong and ambush him. As a result, Huang Zhong's General Chen Shi was taken by Xia Houyuan. Huang Zhong was very anxious and took Fazheng's advice. All the money and goods of the army were given to the soldiers. The soldiers were determined to fight to the end. On that day, the army set out. For each walk, a barracks is set up, and then it goes on. Huang Zhong marched cautiously and was well prepared. Xia Houyuan didn't listen to Zhang Yan's advice and attacked rashly. He not only suffered defeat, but also injured Xia HOUSHANG. Huang Zhong's army advanced to the foot of Dingjun mountain and captured the high mountain opposite Dingjun mountain.
