In 206 B.C. Liu Bang led his troops on a march to Nanzheng shortly after sacking Xianyang, for which Xiang Yu the Lord of Chu made him ‘King of Han’. They burned down the plank way on the way, turned north by making a detour, and stormed back to Xianyang after routing General Zhang Han's army of Qin in a surprise attack at Chencang (east of present-day Baoji, Shaanxi Province). An ancient novelist summed up this episode in the famed idiom of ‘pretending to prepare to advance along one path while secretly going along another.’ The phrase is oft. used to imply clandestine activity (usu. adultery).} |
