The war of the Three Kingdoms saw the emergence of powerful heroes, brilliant strategists, and schemes that changed the wheel of history. The following are the most prominent schemes that have been handed down forever as anecdotes like no other in history.
In the late Han Dynasty, the Dong Zhuo – Lu Bu alliance emerged as a tumor, depleting the Han dynasty. Due to his greedy nature, Dong Trac committed many unforgivable crimes such as: killing King Thieu De, killing Ha Hau and Duong Phi, brutally murdering officials and martial arts officials, abusing innocent civilians.

Dong Zhuo gathers around him many dishonest and brutal people: son-in-law Ly Nho is clever and clever, famous for being sinister, and his adopted son La Bo is brave and good at fighting. Because of that, Dong Trac increasingly abused his power, despised the mandarins of literature and martial arts and even the king of the Han Dynasty, plotting to reverse. In that situation, the private mandarin Vuong Doan, who was a former Han dynasty god, felt extremely disgruntled, but like many other colleagues, he was also completely helpless.
Vuong Doan has an adopted daughter named Dieu Thuyen , whose beauty is great, birds and fish diving. Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo were extremely enthusiastic. Vuong Tu Tu came up with the intention to make a continuous plan to eliminate the Dong Zhuo – Lu Bu alliance. Vuong Doan’s succession plan includes many schemes combined: the beauty scheme, the cockroach separation scheme, the “snake out of the cave” scheme, the humiliation scheme…
Let’s see the beauty of Dieu Thuyen, beautiful in each different stage of life.
Vuong Doan said to his daughter: “I believe in your heart, but I am afraid that you can’t practice it. Originally, Dong Trac’s father and son were a lustful ward, now I want to use “continuous succession”, first to promise my son to marry him. Dad then donates it to Trac. I am in the middle of improvising to make father and son kill each other. If I can do that, I will risk my life to help the country, the industry is huge.”
Listening to his father, Dieu Thuyen used “suffering and shame”, enduring a lot of bitterness and finally successfully divided this alliance, causing Lu Bu to turn his face to kill his adoptive father, liberating the Han dynasty from danger. this hundred. Vuong Doan retired from 3 Dong Zhuo family names and appointed Lu Bu as the general of Phan Vu and made him Marquis of Wen.
Tu Tu Vuong Doan is like a director, while Dieu Thuyen is like an actor, a good director, an outstanding actor can create a miracle that 18 vassals with tens of thousands of soldiers cannot do.
Referring to Khong Minh, it is difficult to tell all of his “evil and melancholy” schemes that made so many heroes of the Three Kingdoms period bow in awe because of his extraordinary tactic. His most famous scheme is the famous “Unsuccessful scheme” , which used only one sound to repel 150,000 Wei soldiers. This is truly an unprecedented musical instrument.
Having just lost Nhai Dinh, now hearing that Sima Yi is rushing to bring the army here, Zhuge Liang’s heart can’t help but worry.
After Ma Toc lost Nhai Dinh, Zhuge Liang only had 2500 soldiers stationed in Tay Thanh district. Suddenly, a detective came back to report: “Si Ma Y brought fifteen thousand great troops to the West Citadel.” At that time, there were no generals with Zhuge Liang, but only a group of officials. Hearing this news, the officials all paled in fear. Zhuge Liang stepped on the surface of the citadel to observe, indeed, far away, the dust was shrouded in mist, the puppet troops were rushing towards Tay Thanh. Zhuge Liang immediately ordered:
“Hidden all the flags and fans, the soldiers all go in and keep their patrol huts on the face of the city, if anyone goes in and out of the city gate arbitrarily or speaks loudly, they will be killed. Open all four gates. Therefore, at each gate of the city, two dozen people disguised as civilians, sweeping the streets. If the Wei army comes, don’t make a fuss, we will have a plan to deal with it.”
After giving orders, Zhuge Liang put on a crane feather robe, put a scarf on his head, led two young dongsaengs with a lute, went up to the city, burned incense and plucked the lute.
Blue sky helped Zhuge Liang when Sima Yi was also a master of sound law, not just an ordinary brave man, otherwise…
Hearing the intelligence report on the situation, Sima Yi ordered the soldiers to immediately stop, rode his horse forward and looked up, and as expected, he saw Zhuge Liang sitting on the railing with a smiling face on his face. Burning incense and plucking a lute, on the left is a small bronze, holding a precious sword, on the right there is also a small bronze wave in the hand. Inside and outside the city gate, there were only about two dozen ordinary people, sweeping the streets as if no one was with them. After seeing this, Sima Yi suspected that there was an ambush in the city, and hastily ordered a retreat.
In fact, in Zhuge’s music, there are many deep meanings. After the Wei army retreated, Zhuge Liang exclaimed: “The sky is blue, save me, Sima Yi really understands the law of yin”. As for Tu Ma Yi, when he returned to the camp, he pulled a chair for Sima Su to sit, listened to his son talk about the situation in Tay Thanh and said: “I lost to Khong Minh in heaven, heaven did not help me”.
Not in a hurry to act, but calmly thinking, Sima Yi understood Zhuge Liang’s intentions.
So in the end, what did “blue sky” help Zhuge Liang? And what did “heavenly destiny” not help Sima Yi? This is definitely related to the sound of the guitar that Zhuge Liang plays. Through the sound of the piano and the law of music, Zhuge Liang conveyed to Sima Yi a very clear message: “The Wei Dynasty has been suspicious and wary of him for three generations. The reason why he was appointed marshal to command the three armies is because of me. I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m not worried about the Shu army, Wei Emperor will surely ruin his life. In the past, when a wise rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked, when a high-flying bird dies, the bow is strong. being put in the kitchen, that’s common sense.”
This is the realm of thought that only two outstanding military users can understand, ordinary people can’t reach this realm, so they only see the “results” of “false reality” on the surface, and the causes. Deep down, only those two people can understand. This is also one of the most mysterious things in Zhuge Liang’s plans for his melancholy martial arts. It is true that a pair of soul mates, thanks to the confrontation, found each other, but the historical role did not allow them to become soulmates under the moonlight, sitting together to tell the story of the Three Kingdoms and distinguishing the world on the chessboard.
“Burning Xich Bich” is considered a classic victory of Great Admiral Dong Ngo Chu Du, in addition to his own schemes and Zhuge Liang, it is impossible not to mention a character who made this legend – General Hoang Cai.
Hoang Cai, a great general of Dong Ngo, an old general born and died from the time Ton Kien founded this dynasty.
In 208, Cao Cao sent his army to the south. After capturing Kinh Chau, Cao Cao advanced to Jiang Dong. Because the disease spread and the northern army was not used to fishing, Cao Cao locked the ships together to wait until early next year to attack. Hoang Cai saw this and offered a plan to Admiral Chu Du : “The enemy is few, if we hold out for a long time, we will be at a disadvantage. Cao Cao tied the boat together, very convenient for using fire, quick to win. “.
Chu Du listened. Hoang Cai followed the plan, it was the plan of suffering and humiliation . One day, knowing that Sai Trung and Sai Hoa went to Dong Ngo to disguise their goods, Chu Du and Hoang Cai intentionally pretended to quarrel. When Hoang Cai said that he must wipe out the Cao army in 1 month, or else take off his armor and surrender, Chu Du angrily scolded Hoang Cai as a traitor.
Du gave the order to cut. The old general Hoang Cai did not accept, scolded Chu Du without regret. The part was immediately dragged out by the executioner. Lu Tuc ran to ask Du to spare the old general’s life on the grounds that cutting the general would make the army move. All the generals also immediately knelt down and begged Du to spare Hoang Cai. Chu Du, still angry, sent his soldiers to beat Hoang Cai with 100 sticks.
If there is no strong will, not for the safety of an entire country, how can an old general like this withstand such terrible pain from soul to body!
Hoang Cai was dragged out to be beaten, looking extremely pitiful, Du felt a pain in his heart when he heard Hoang Cai sobbing, blood splashing right in front of the two Sai spies. The generals below witnessed this scene, everyone cried like rain. When Hoang Cai was knocked unconscious, the generals rushed out to ask Du to stop, and Du would forgive him.
Hoang Cai pretended to resent Chu Du, asking Ham Trach to deliver a letter to Cao Cao. Being informed by Sai Trung and Sai Hoa that Hoang Cai had been beaten, plus Ham Trach’s eloquence, Cao Cao completely believed that Hoang Cai’s passing was real. Cao Cao made a promise with Ham Trach and was ready to wait for the day when Hoang Cai turned over. Unexpectedly, that was also the day that the entire 830,000 Cao army was burned to ashes.
According to the scheduled date and time, Hoang Cai prepared a fleet of mobile boats, about 10 boats, filled with sparks and combustibles to go straight in the direction of the Cao army camp. When the boat reached the middle of the river, Hoang Cai ordered the boat to be lit on fire. The southeast wind rose, the fire of the boat burned, followed the wind and rushed into the Cao army camp.
Cao Cao’s ships, which were chained together, quickly caught fire. The stronger the wind, the more intense the fire, swallowing the entire fortified water camp thought impregnable of the Cao army. The Cao army was partly burned by the fire, the part jumped into the river and drowned, the tragedy was unspeakable.
In order to realize the great plan, Hoang Cai had to suffer a lot of pain. Old age and weak health, suffered 100 zhang and brought shame in front of the three troops, was beaten to death, but the old general remained single-minded for the water, gritted his teeth and suffered the pain of big things. This is such a rare loyal heart that is saved in the history books, it is worthy of praise!
