成语——暗度陈仓

Meaning of the Idiom

an du chen cang(advancing secretly by an unknown path)

After the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought a four-year “Chu-Han War” to fight for the world. Liu Bang first invaded Xianyang and proclaimed himself King of Guanzhong. Xiang Yu was so powerful that Liu Bang surrendered Xianyang and Guanzhong to Xiang Yu and went to Hanzhong himself.

Next to Hanzhong is Zhang Han. In order to confuse Xiang Yu and prevent Zhang Han from invading, Liu Bang burned down the plank road leading to and from Hanzhong.

Later, Liu Bang became more and more powerful. He appointed Han Xin as a general and sent troops to fight with Xiang Yu. In order to confuse the enemy, Han Xin sent more than 10,000 troops to repair the burnt plank road. Plank road repair project arduous, progress is slow. Zhang Han predicted that the restoration of the plank road is not easy, without warning.

However, the main force of Han Xin’s army had already moved towards Chencang by small roads, and quickly captured Xianyang and occupied Guanzhong.

Han Xin adopted a subtle strategy and won a great victory in capturing Guanzhong. This is where the phrase “hiding in the dark” comes in.
