Idiom story

Tian Dan is a distant relative of the King of Qi. Le Yi, the general of Yan State, crusaded against Qi State and captured Linzi, the capital of Qi State. Tian Dan led his family to Jimo City. Soon the Yan army besieged Jimo City again, and Jimo Shoujiang fought with the Yan army and died in the battlefield. Everyone made Tian Dan a general and continued to resist Yan. At this time, he died and his son Yan acceded to the throne. Tian Dan played a trick on me, and sent people to the capital of Yan State to spread words, saying: I am not at peace with the new king, and I don't want to take Ju and Jimo, because I want to be the king of Qi. "Yan maike is jealous of Le Yi. Hearing these words, he became more suspicious. He ordered an incompetent general to take the place of Le Yi and continue to attack Jimo City, and called Le Yi back to Beijing. Tian Dan thought that the time was ripe to fight back, so he selected 1000 cows from the city, covered them with colorful quilts, tied sharp knives to their horns, and soaked their tails with oily reeds. In the evening, Tian Chan ordered people to cut dozens of holes in the wall first, and then drive the cattle out of the city. A thousand soldiers lit the reeds on the oxtail together. Because of the burning pain in their tails, these cows ran as fast as they could, and rushed straight for Yan Jun compound. Five thousand Qi troops followed, shouting loudly and rushing at Yanjun. Yan Jun woke up from his sleep and saw flames blazing outside, shouting ShaSheng blasting. A group of "monsters" with sharp knives and colorful quilts rushed in, and those who met them were either dead or injured. The Yan army was in chaos and fled in succession, and the master was killed on the spot by the Qi army. Tian Dan pursued the victory and chased the original Qi-Yan border, recovering all the cities and lands occupied by the Yan army.
