Earlier, Sun Quan had asked Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi to deceive Cao Wei and was able to defeat Cao Xiu, and then Sun Wu repeated his old tricks and sent Sun Bu again to pretend to surrender to lure Wei general Wang Ling, but this time it was only a slight victory.

【Full Favor and Wang Ling】

After Cao Xiu's death, the imperial court let Man Chong serve as the former military governor of Yangzhou. At that time, the full favor was the history of the Yuzhou thorn, he was very successful in office, the soldiers and the people in Runan admired the full favor, helped the old and the young, and wanted to go with the full pet, which could not be stopped. The Protector demanded that the leader be killed. Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming specially allowed Man Zhong to take away a thousand people from his cronies, but the rest of the people were left alone.

At that time in Yangzhou, Wang Ling was the assassin of Yangzhou, and one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, so the contradiction between the two was very deep, and Wang Ling's comrades slandered the old and weak people, and their words and deeds were ridiculous and unreasonable. Later, Cao Rong was summoned to the court. After the pet arrived in the capital, he was in good health. Seeing this, Cao Rong asked Man Chong to return to his original post. Full Pet went to the table more than once and asked to stay in the capital. Cao Rong issued an edict and said: "In the past, Lian Po told the envoy that he was in good health, and he could still lead troops to fight, and eat buckets of rice and ten catties of meat in one meal. At the age of sixty-two, Ma Yuan still asked for soldiers to fight, according to the saddle, to show that he could be used. Now that you are not old and claim to be old, why don't you compare yourself with Lianpo and Ma Yuan? Think about defending the border and serving the country. ”

According to the record of "Shiyu", previously, Wang Ling said that he was old and addicted to drinking, and could no longer hold a position in charge of his own affairs. Emperor Ming was about to recall Manchu, and Guo Mou said to the matter: "Manchu was appointed as the Taishou of Runan and the assassin of Yuzhou for more than 20 years, and he made meritorious contributions, and later guarded Zhunan, and Wuzhong was very afraid of him." If the situation is not as Wang Ling said above, he will be spied on and used by the enemy, and he can be ordered to return to the court and investigate him by asking the military of the East. Emperor Ming listened to him. After being full of favor, he looked healthy and strong, and Emperor Ming comforted him and let him return to office.

And Manzhong's departure from Yangzhou this time did give Sun Wu a chance, but Xin Hao Manzhong had expected it, so in the end, the losses caused by Wang Ling and others were not big.

[Wang Ling's re-deception plan]

After Manzhong took control of the Eastern Front, Cao Wei did not give Sun Wu any chance, and in the fourth year of Taihe (230), Manzhong was the general of the expedition to the east, and Wei was Hefei New City. In the winter of that year, Sun Quan claimed to take Hefei. The above table asked for the summoning of troops from Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Later, the troops of the two states were gathered, and the enemy soldiers had to retreat. The court ordered the full favor to withdraw the troops. Man Zhong thinks that the enemy soldiers are returning in a big way, I am afraid it is not the intention. They must have pretended to retreat to paralyze us, and when we withdrew, they could take advantage of the situation. So the table above demanded that the troops not be withdrawn. Sure enough, more than ten days later, the Wu army returned, and Sun Quan re-killed the fatten, but because the Wei army did not retreat, the siege was not overcome, so he had to retreat and return.

In this case, Sun Wu once again used the previous strategy against Cao Xiu, preparing to send his subordinates to surrender again, and then ambush the other party.

In the following year, in the fifth year of Taihe (231), Sun Bu, the general of Eastern Wu, sent people to Yangzhou to ask for surrender, saying: "Because of the long distance, I can't come to pay my respects, so I specially invite troops to come to greet him." "Yangzhou Assassin Wang Ling passed Sun Buxin to Manchu and asked to send troops and horses to meet him. Man Chong thought that there must be fraud in this, and did not send troops and horses, so he wrote a letter to Sun Bu on behalf of Wang Ling, saying: "You recognize your mistakes, you know your way back, and you want to get rid of the disaster and return to us, leave the tyrannical ~ government, and change to the right path, which is commendable." Now I hope that we will send troops to meet you, but after thinking about it, if you have few soldiers, you will not be able to defend you, and if you have many soldiers, it will be easy to leak secrets. For the time being, I will devise a secret plan to fulfill your ambitions, and then discuss the solution for the time being. ”

At this time, Man Chong was summoned to the court, and before leaving, he ordered the governor of the palace: "If Wang Ling wants to go to meet him, don't send troops to him." Because Wang Ling could not get soldiers and horses from Manzhong, he sent a general with 700 infantry and cavalry to meet Sun Bu. Sun Bu attacked in the night, and the governor fled, killing and wounding most of the 700 people.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Lord Wu" records that Sun Quan led a large army of men and horses to lurk in Fuling to wait for Wang Ling's arrival, and Wang Ling led his army to retreat after discovering it.

In history, Sun Wu was very fond of using deception, and the effect was very good, like Cao Cao suffered a big loss in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Xiu almost wiped out the whole army in the Battle of Shiting, Wang Ling himself also suffered a small loss, if it wasn't for the full favor and alertness, Wang Ling failed to mobilize a large army, Cao Wei's loss may be more than that.

However, after Sun Bu deceived the matter, Sun Wu also felt that this trick was not very effective, and he rarely used this strategy in the future.

[Defeat Sun Quan again]

In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, moved to Lujiang, and many people thought that they should be rescued quickly, and they said: "Although Lujiang is small, the soldiers will be fierce, and they will be able to hold on for a while." Besides, the enemy abandoned their ships and went 200 miles deeper, and the rear was empty, so it was appropriate to lure them deeper and take the opportunity to defeat them. They should be left to their own devices, let them advance, and they will not even have time to escape. "The purge army drove to Yangyikou. When the enemy soldiers heard that the soldiers were moving east, they fled that night. At that time, it was said that Sun Quan had a plan to attack every year.

In the first year of Qinglong (233), Manzhong Shangshu said: "The south of Hefei City is surrounded by a lake, and the north is far away from Shouchun, and the enemy soldiers besieged Hefei and were able to rely on the water potential. To rescue officers and men, they should first break through their main forces before they can break the siege. The forces in the city should be transferred to the west thirty miles, where the terrain can be dangerous, and the city soldiers should be fortified. This is a ploy to lure the enemy out of the hole and cut off his way of retreat. Jiang Ji, the general of the protector army, thought: "To do this is to show weakness to the enemy, and to destroy his own city when he sees the enemy's fireworks, this is self-defeating!" If the situation really comes to this point, then the enemy soldiers will plunder unscrupulously, and our troops will inevitably defend Huaibei. ”

Therefore, Emperor Ming did not agree with Man Chong's opinion. Full of favor and on the table: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, it is really the way of trickery." We were able to do it, but we made the enemy think that they were too weak to be able to, and they paralyzed the enemy with small profits and made them proud, and thought that we were afraid. This is the so-called truth that form and reality do not have to match. Sun Tzu also said: 'Be good at seducing the enemy and showing false impressions. 'Now before the enemy soldiers arrive, move the troops outside the city and deploy elite soldiers inside, which is a way to lure the enemy into the depths by setting up an illusion. Lure the enemy away from the waterway, and move with the camera, the outside can resist the enemy, and the inside can make a blessing. Shangshu Zhao Zhi thought that Manzhong's plan was more in line with reality, so the emperor issued an edict to deal with it.

In this year, Sun Quan personally led his troops to besiege the new city, but because the city was too far away from the waterway, he did not dare to get off the boat after staying on the water for twenty days. Man Zhong said to the generals: "When Sun Quan learns that I have moved troops outside the city, he will definitely boast about Haikou." Now come to show its strength and invite fame. Although he did not dare to advance further, he would definitely go ashore to show off his strength to show that he had a large number of troops. So he ambushed 6,000 infantry and cavalry in the hidden place of Hefei City, waiting for the enemy soldiers to throw themselves into the net. Sun Quan really went ashore to show off his might, and the ambush soldiers who were full of favor suddenly rushed over and attacked the enemy soldiers, killing hundreds of enemies, and some of them fell into the water and died.
