中華國粹 國學經典 三十六計（七）無中生有

Wuzhong Shengyou is the 7th out of 36 strategies. Most of the strategies are designed to make the enemy see through the false image. But Wuzhong Shengyou is the opposite. It is designed to make the enemy see through the false image. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan rebelled and attacked Yongqiu in Henan. Zhang Xun, the first general, fought against the 40,000 soldiers of An Lushan. Soon, a crisis occurred. The bow and arrows were not enough. What should be done if the city was destroyed? At this time, Zhang Xun had a new idea. He ordered the soldiers to turn the straw into a fake man and hang the fake man upside down in the middle of the night. The enemy thought that Zhang Xun had sent someone to sneak attack and shoot the arrows to counterattack. But then they found that they were fooled. Because these people didn't die at all. This was obviously a trap set by Zhang Xun. Although the enemy stopped shooting, hundreds of thousands of arrows had already been deceived by Zhang Xun. Speaking of this, if you think these fake people are just used to borrow arrows, then you are wrong. Zhang Xun's plan is not over yet. Not long after, he used the method of hanging the fake man again to ask for arrows. The enemy naturally ignored it and even laughed at Zhang Xun's stupidity. The trick that had been seen through, why did Zhang Xun still insist on using it repeatedly? When the enemy relaxed their vigilance and laughed at Zhang Xun, they had a plan again. This time, Zhang Xun put down the real soldiers from the top of the city. These well-trained soldiers did not encounter any obstacles and broke into the camp of Linghu. They killed anyone they saw. In just one night, they killed 40,000 soldiers of An Lushan. An Lushan only had to retreat. Zhang Xun thus protected Yongqiu City. Zhang Xun used the fake man to create a false image, not to hide from the enemy, but to let the enemy see the flaw and relax their vigilance. The fake that was seen through successfully concealed the hidden truth. This is the essence of Wu Zhongsheng.
