Chen Ping’s Second Strategy
Helping Liu Bang to Escape the Siege of Xingyang by Diverting the Enemy's Attention
When under siege in Xingyang, by Xiang Yu's army, Chen Ping had troops sent to the eastern wall of the city to pretend to break through there at night. While Xiang Yu's army counterattacked at the eastern wall, Chen Ping brought Liu Bang out of the city through the western wall unnoticed [18], [20].
Helping Liu Bang to Escape the Siege of Xingyang by Diverting the Enemy's Attention is an application of the 21st stratagem, The Golden Cicada Sloughs off Its Shell, which is associated with both the eighteenth hexagram, Mountain over Wind. Movement, and the 48th hexagram, Water outside of Wind [1], [28].
