Idioms and allusions

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, there was a famous scholar named Zhou bream in the eastern Wu Dynasty. Because of his great management ability, he was appointed governor of Poyang by director Wu. Before he took office, the situation in Poyang was very chaotic. In the north, Cao Xiu, the general of the state of Wei, was ready to attack Wu territory at any time, while in the territory, Peng Qi attacked the city and made trouble. The situation is very serious. In the face of such a situation, Zhou bream immediately took corresponding measures. If he wants to deal with civil strife, he must first calm down the border. So on the one hand, he actively prepared for war, on the other hand, he sent someone to send a letter to Cao Xiu, saying that he wanted to surrender to the state of Wei, in order to deceive Cao Xiu. Just when Cao Xiu believed it and led 100000 troops into the city of Anhui, the Wu army suddenly launched an attack and defeated Cao Xiu. The tense situation in the border area immediately eased down. When he was calming down the civil strife, Zhou Qian united with Hu Zong to attack yuan Qi, and soon captured him. Later, Zhou Baihe used a trick to induce Dong Si to be deceived, and killed him at one stroke, forcing Dong Si's younger brother to surrender. After all this, the situation in Poyang has greatly improved. Zhou Qian died 13 years after he took office as a prefect. When he was in office, he rewarded the meritorious people, punished the evil forces, stabilized the morale of the army and the people with kindness, and implemented dignity and favor at the same time, which soon made Poyang County rich and stable.
