"Beacon fire plays on princes"
It is said that Gai Xiuzhen (the first name is Gai Xiuying), the sister of Koguryo general Gai Suwen, was sent here by her brother Gai Suwen to guard because of her bravery.Before leaving, I warned her to guard the city well and not slacken off.Whenever someone attacks, he can light the beacon fire, and then he can summon the surrounding soldiers to support him in the future.However, when Gai Xiuying was young and energetic, she had nothing to do. When she thought of her brother's words, she did not know whether they were true or not, so she was on the spur of the moment and lit the beacon fire.When the elder brother found the alarm signal, he immediately led the troops to come over and have a look. It was nothing at all. It was the younger sister who was joking. She was very angry and walked away.As a result, the enemy did come, and my sister lit the beacon again. This time, my brother thought that her little sister was acting foolishly again, so he ignored it.The position was immediately breached.[1]
