M.  Strategy 1: 瞞天過海 * part 2

 Fool someone and Cross the Sea * part 2

典故:

唐太宗貞觀十七年，李世民御駕親征，領三十萬大軍親征高麗國。

Allusion:

 In the 17th year of Emperor Taizong of Tang’s Zhenguan reign, Li Shimin personally led an army of 300,000 to attack the Kingdom of Goryeo.

一日，浩蕩大軍東進來到大海邊，李世民見眼前只是海浪排空，海一片白茫茫的無窮無盡。

One day, the mighty army marched eastward and arrived at the seashore. Li Shimin saw nothing but waves in front of him, and the sea was endless and white.

李世民有些害怕，可能會遇到海難，所以不敢冒險出海。

 Li Shimin was a little afraid that he might encounter a shipwreck, so he did not dare to risk going out to sea.

李世民問群臣有無辦法。其中一名大將軍:薜仁貴，想出一個方法。

Li Shimin asked his ministers if they had any solution. One of the generals, Xie Rengui, came up with a solution. 

薜仁貴先請李世民在旁等候。然後薜仁貴在李世民沒有看到現場的時候，做出布置。

Xie Rengui first asked Li Shimin to wait by the side. Then Xie Rengui made arrangements when Li Shimin was not seeing the scene.

接著把唐太宗李世民引到早已布置得跟小型集市一樣熱鬧的大船內部。

Then Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was led to the interior of the ship, which had already been decorated to be as lively as a small market.

過程中，李世民沒有看到外面，就沒有看到海。

 During the process, Li Shimin did not see the outside, nor did he see the sea. 

等到唐太宗發現真相時，船已平安渡過了大海。

By the time Emperor Taizong of Tang discovered the truth, the ship had already safely crossed the sea. 

這裡的「天」其實指的是天子的意思，

The "天" here actually refers to the emperor, 

說的是:薜仁貴隱瞞著天子，並把他平安渡過了海。

which means: Xie Rengui concealed the emperor and brought him across the sea safely. 

以後人們便把此計謀用於戰事策略中。

Later, people used this strategy in war strategies.
