Wonderful trick (pinyin: j ǐ nn á ngmi à oji) is an idiom in China. This idiom first came from Chapter 54 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The original meaning of "trick up one's sleeve" refers to the resourceful people described in the old novels, who write their own tricks against the enemy on a piece of paper and put them in their own tips so that the parties can open them in an emergency. Metaphor is a clever way to prepare. ?

Idiom story:

When Liu Bei used Zhou Yu and Coss to kill the enemy, he took the opportunity to attack Nanjun, Jingzhou, Xiangyang and Changsha originally controlled by Sun Wu. The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to recapture Jingzhou immediately.

Liu Bei died unexpectedly. When Zhou Yu heard about it, he had a plan and advised Sun Quan: "Your sister is beautiful and strong. In the name of anti-Cao, I recruited Liu Bei, tricked him into placing him under house arrest in Jiangdong and forced him to exchange Jingzhou. "

Sun Quan was overjoyed and sent someone to Jingzhou to act as matchmaker. Liu Bei thought it was a scam and wanted to refuse. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to him, "Why didn't anyone promise to send a good wife to the door?" I'll let Zhao Yun accompany you. Don't worry, you can get a wife without losing Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun to come over and said to him, "I have three tricks here, among which are three clever tricks.

Open the first one in Jiangdong, the second one at the end of the year, and the third one at a critical moment. "Zhaoyun in accordance with the command, take the equipment box, led by five hundred soldiers escort liu bei to Wu Dong.

Buy wedding supplies and publicize: "Liu Bei is going to marry Sun Quan's sister." He also suggested that Liu Bei visit Joe Lao Guo. Joe Lao Guo told Wu Guotai about it.

Wu Guotai was frightened and summoned Sun Quan to scold him: "Marrying a daughter is a big deal. How come even my mother doesn't know? " When Sun Quan said this, Wu Guotai snapped, "Shameless people, you used my daughter as a honey trap. If you kill Liu Bei, my daughter will despair! " Later, Wu Guotai arranged a blind date in Kanluoji. The next day, when Wu Guotai saw Liu Bei's handsome appearance, he agreed to marry his daughter to Liu Bei and set an auspicious day for their wedding.

When Zhou Yu's plan failed, he gave birth to another plan and wrote to Sun Quan, saying, "Liu Bei was born in a poor family and never enjoyed happiness. Now, we will fascinate him with lewdness and dog and horse, alienate them, and then send troops to take Jingzhou. "

Sun Quan acted according to the plan. Sure enough, Liu Bei is infatuated with the sweetness of his newly married life and doesn't want to go back to Jingzhou for the time being. Zhaoyun's suggestion is useless. Seeing that the end of the year was coming, he opened the second kit and reported to Liu Bei as planned: "Cao Cao raised 500 thousand troops to avenge the Red Cliff." Jingzhou is in danger. Please come back quickly, master. " Liu Bei was surprised and told his wife the truth.

His wife expressed her willingness to go back with him. Liu Bei said, "What if your brother Sun Quan stops it?" The lady thought for a moment and said, "excuse to go to the river to worship ancestors and leave here." The couple discussed it and went to the river to worship their ancestors the next day. After leaving the city, they ran all the way along the river to Jingzhou. By the time Sun Quan knew the truth, Liu Bei had already left. Sun Quan was furious and sent two groups of men after him. When Liu Bei and his party approached the border of Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), they were blocked by an army sent by Zhou Yu.

Seeing the critical situation, Zhao Yun made a third move to Liu Bei. Liu Bei cried to his wife that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu conspired to frame and kill themselves with a honey trap. Madame was very angry and cursed several generals chased by Wu Dong.

The generals did not dare to offend Sun Quan's sister, so they had to let them pass. When Liu Bei and his party were approaching Jingzhou, they met Soochow pursuers, and Zhuge Liang took Liu Bei aboard.

Zhou Yu led a warship to chase him, and Zhuge Liang told his men to abandon the ship and go ashore. Zhou Yu also went ashore to catch up with the land troops, but was defeated by three ambushes laid by Zhuge Liang in advance: Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. Zhou Yu hurried into the boat, and Liu Bei's soldiers on the shore shouted in unison: "Zhou Lang's clever plan is to secure the world, and he lost his wife and lost his soldiers." Zhou Yu was ashamed and annoyed and let out a cry. His scar opened and he fainted to the ground. The Ministry of Magic will wake him up and let him sail.
