Second Allusions Background

The background story of this sentence is that when Cao Cao confronted Liu Bei in Hanzhong, Cao Cao was very worried when he found that the grain and grass would be exhausted due to continuous showers, and he could not win. When the soldiers came to ask for the password at night, Cao Cao casually replied "chicken ribs".
