The story about the crow and the fox in primary school textbooks is a good example! The crow was deceived by the fox's rhetoric and finally deceived the crow into eating fat;
In the battle between Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian was defeated by Fu Cha first. King Wu Fu Chai punished Gou Jian and his wife to do hard labor in the King Wu's palace to humiliate him. King Gou Jian of Yue groveled in front of King Wu Fu Chai, flattered him in every possible way, deceived Fu Chai's trust, and finally let him return to Yue. Later, the State of Yue took advantage of the situation and robbed the State of Wu, finally annihilating the State of Wu, forcing Fu Chai to draw his sword and commit suicide. How did the "fire" get started? It turns out that Gou Jian successfully used the "honey trap". After Gou Jian was released and returned to the country of Yue, he endured hardships without forgetting to avenge his shame. The state of Wu was strong, but the state of Yue could not win with force. The great master Wen Zhong offered him a plan: "The high-flying bird dies of delicious food, and the fish in the deep spring dies of fragrant bait. If you want to restore the country and avenge its shame, you should do what it likes and weaken its fighting spirit. In this way, you can put it aside." Fu Chai is about to die." So Gou Jian selected two beauties, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, to give to Fu Chai, and presented rare jewels to the King of Wu every year. Fu Chai believed that Gou Jian had surrendered to him, so he had no doubts at all. Fu Chai drank and had fun with beauties all day long, and even the minister Wu Zixu's advice was completely ignored. Later, when Wu attacked Qi, Gou Jian also sent troops to help King Wu attack Qi to show his loyalty and paralyze Fu Chai. After Wu's victory, Gou Jian went to Wu in person to congratulate him. Fu Chai was greedy for women and became more and more powerful every day. He didn't want to get involved in political affairs at all. Wu Yuxu's remonstrances were ineffective and he was forced to commit suicide. Gou Jian saw it and was happy in his heart. In 482 BC, there was a severe drought in the State of Wu. When Gou Jian took advantage of Fu Chai to go north to join the alliance, he launched a surprise attack on Wu. The State of Wu was finally destroyed by Yue, and Fu Chai had no choice but to die. The core of the honey trap is to "cut off the wise and their emotions". As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to find a beauty trap. This is for those leaders who are weak-willed and greedy for beauty. In the history of Chinese and foreign wars, there are many examples of one side using "honey traps" to cause the other side to die. "Wherever there is strange adultery, there will be strange disasters." A king or a king often sacrifices everything else for the sake of his own greed, regardless of the safety of the country and people, which ultimately leads to the defeat of the country and the loss of the family. Legend has it that Bao Si was an evildoer who came to this world. Because King You of Zhou was absurd and unruly and killed loyal people indiscriminately, the demon god let Bao Si come to this world to hasten the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Baosi was adopted and raised by Baoda from Baodi. Bao Jue, a doctor in the Western Zhou Dynasty, angered King You of Zhou because of his outspoken advice, and was ordered to be imprisoned by King You. Bao Jue's son Hong De occasionally went to Bao Si to collect taxes. When he saw Bao Si, who had grown up, he was as beautiful as a fairy, so he brought him back and taught her singing, dancing, etiquette, etc. Si Jing presented it to King You. The greedy King You was naturally overjoyed and ordered Bao Jue to be released and reinstated. From then on, King You followed Bao Si: sitting on top of each other, standing side by side, drinking from cups, eating with utensils, and did not go to court for more than ten days. What's more, King You played tricks on the princes in order to win the beauty's smile. There is another case. The Han Dynasty has been shrouded in the shadow of the Xiongnu since its founding. Once, the Huns went south, and the prefect Han Wangxin was forced to surrender to the Huns. After Liu Bang heard this, he was furious and led 300,000 troops north to attack the Xiongnu. Seeing that the Huns soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and all using rusty knives, they underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, falling into the Huns' trap. When the Han army arrived near Baishan Mountain, they were surrounded by 400,000 Huns ambushing here and trapped on Baishan Mountain. After a few days, the army was hungry and cold, and was about to be wiped out. Liu Bang's subordinate Chen Ping obtained a picture of a beautiful woman from the Han Dynasty, and took a small amount of gold to the camp of the Xiongnu Zi family (equal to the queen of the Han Dynasty) to present the picture of the beautiful woman and the gold. After seeing the picture of the beautiful woman, Zishi was in a dilemma: if the king (the Xiongnu Chanyu) defeated Liu Bang and took over the Central Plains, he would definitely marry a beautiful woman from the Central Plains as Zishi. Therefore, in order to secure the position of the queen, she should say the king away. How wonderful! So that night, Zi came to Shanyu's camp and successfully persuaded Shanyu to withdraw his troops.
Chen Ping defeated the Huns' 400,000-strong army with just a picture of a beautiful woman, leaving a wonderful mark in history! A honey trap is to use appearance to confuse the enemy so as to achieve the other party's military purpose!
