The Three Kingdoms Period in Ancient China: What are some anecdotes of Zhang Liao's extremely high intelligence?
I'm interested in the Three Kingdoms Period in Ancient China. Can you tell me some anecdotes about Zhang Liao's high intelligence?
Sure! Zhang Liao was known for his intelligence and military strategy. One anecdote states that he was once surrounded by enemy forces, but he managed to escape by building rafts out of bundles of straw and then setting them on fire. The enemy soldiers, mistaking the burning straw for an attack, retreated, giving Zhang Liao and his troops a chance to escape.
