With 300 soldiers against 40,000 soldiers, how did Zhang Can and Qian Qi stop the Northern Expeditionary Army from entering Hunan?

Zhang Qiyuan successfully resisted 40,000 troops with 300 soldiers. Because he had a full study of the environment at that time, he boldly adopted a strategy similar to the empty city plan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he also successfully blocked the Northern Expedition in Hunan.

Many people think that Zhang's success is due to her ingenious design, but it is not. At that time, Zhang made such a bold decision because it was somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang's empty city plan in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Because he had a full understanding of the environment at that time, he also deeply realized that although the Beiyang Army won a great victory, the Anhui Department, the Direct Department and the Feng Department were linked by interests, but they were full of contradictions outside the interests. In particular, Duan directly gave Zhang the direct access to Hunan. You know, Wu is not an ordinary person, and his heart is naturally unwilling and dissatisfied.

And this one, he's funny, too. After his army entered Changsha, it was actually plundered by soldiers. Not only did his army make the people dissatisfied, but even all the Beiyang troops were hated by others. This led to a gradual increase in resistance to the south, while Wu Zhijun was strict, which led to his contempt for Zhang.

One more thing, it also has a certain relationship with the environment at that time. If Beiyang Army chooses to continue attacking Wu, it will definitely be resolutely opposed by the southwest warlords, Yunnan Army and Guangdong Army. In the end, only the Anhui and Feng warlords can really benefit.

It was because Zhang Qiyong had a full understanding of these things that he dared to let three hundred soldiers resist forty thousand troops.
