莊宗入魏，鄩以謂晉兵悉從莊宗赴魏，而太原可襲，乃結草為人，執以旗幟，以驢負之往來城上，而潛軍出黃澤關襲太原。 Zhuangzong entered Wei. Xun reasoned that every Jin soldier had followed him there and that Taiyuan lay open; he mounted straw dummies with flags on donkeys and marched them along the walls while his army slipped out through Huangze Pass toward Taiyuan.
