Legend of light bamboo leaf

According to historical records, during the period of the tripartite confrontation, in the 19th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the state of Wei, took over the power of the imperial government, and his power in the imperial court increased day by day. At that time, Liu Bei, as the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, had seized the land of Hanzhong, with increasingly plump wings. At the suggestion of Zhuge Kongming, the great military division, sent troops north to attack Cao Cao Cao of the state of Wei. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are the leaders of the army

The two soldiers were divided into two routes. On the first route, the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Fei met with general Zhang Ying, the main force of Cao army, after arriving at Bashu city. Zhang Ying is brave, resourceful, resourceful and wise. He sticks to the city and avoids the enemy. Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Zhang Fei sent someone to stand in front of the city and yell, his voice was like thunder. Zhang Ying ignored it. He arranged city defense equipment, challenge wood and cannon stone carts on the city wall. He still didn't fight. He ate, drank and had fun in the city. Zhang Fei was so angry that he stared, stared and gaped, and his tongue was sore. All the soldiers felt dry because of the scolding in front of the city

After Zhuge Liang knew about it, he sent 50 jars of wine to Zhang Fei and taught Zhang Fei to act as planned. Zhang Fei ordered people to carry the wine to the front of the city, let the sergeants sit in front of the city, open the wine and drink it happily, and he even raised the wine jar and drank it up

The spy in the city reported the matter. Zhang Ying stood on the wall and saw that it was exactly what he said, so he scolded fiercely: "Zhang Fei, you deceive people too much!" He ordered to go out of the city and rob the stronghold that night. As a result, Zhuge Liang's plan was adopted and the army was defeated miserably. Later, it was learned that Zhang Fei's envoy was a "trick to lure the enemy", and the soldiers didn't drink "wine aging" in front of the city during the day. Zhuge Liang sent someone to send soup to help the soldiers reduce fire and thirst. This soup was made of light bamboo leaves. This method not only lured Zhang Ying to be deceived, but also helped the soldiers solve the problem of heat and dryness. Light bamboo leaves have spread since then and have spread to this day
