In the 2011 Andy Lau movie "New Shaolin Temple", there was a line "You don't die, I can't sleep!" At that time, it was once popular on the Internet and became the mantra of many people, this sentence, in fact, there is nothing special, but usually it is put in the heart, can say it, it is really quite domineering!
However, this sentence is not the original debut of "New Shaolin Temple", but borrows from the words of Sun Quan in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and it is good to study literature and history, not only know where this sentence comes from, but also know that Sun Quan said this sentence is actually more domineering than Andy Lau said.
The direct consequence of this was that Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops immediately retreated!
Why did Cao Cao say, "When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou"?
I wrote in an article why Cao Cao would evaluate Sun Quan as "having a son like Sun Zhongmou", which caused a reader to be angry, saying how could Cao Cao have said this sentence, which is from Xin Qijie's "Nanxiangzi Dengjingkou Beiguting Youhuai" "Who is the hero of the world?" Cao Liu. Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. ”
And righteous words to persuade me to read more history books, I feel that it is too difficult to write articles, readers who know more will be all kinds of intimidation of you, even if they do not understand anything, readers can scare you.
In fact, this sentence Xin Abandoned Disease did say, but Cao Cao also said, Cao Cao is a person at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xin Abandoned Disease is a Song Dynasty person, you say that they said this sentence who said first?
Speaking of the Guizheng Tradition, Cao Cao likes to evaluate others in his life, and what is precious is that the evaluation is quite accurate, which is probably also a necessary skill for a generation of tyrants!
Cao Cao once said to Liu Bei, "Heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!" The original disciples, not enough numbers also. ”
Although Liu Bei was like a dog that lost his family at that time, and Yuan Shao (Zi Benchu) occupied the land of Hebei, it was later proved that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu, but as a result, he lost to Sun Liu's allied army at the Battle of Chibi, and he failed to conquer Liu Bei in his lifetime.
For Sun Quan, Cao Cao also had something to say, Cao Cao said: "When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou!" If Liu Jingsheng son, guinea pig ears! ”
This is not only an evaluation of Sun Quan, but also of Liu Biao's (zi Jingsheng) son, when Cao Cao occupied the entire north after defeating Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu, and then a large army attacked Liu Biao in the south, and as a result, Liu Biao died on fire, and his son directly surrendered to Cao Cao.
At that time, Cao Cao also advised Sun Quan to surrender, but Sun Quan did not agree, and at this point, Cao Cao was still impressed by Sun Quan.
After the Battle of Chibi, in 213 AD, Cao Cao mobilized a large army to attack Sun Quan, and could not go south against Sun Quan at The Junction, and once Sun Quan surrounded the Cao army with water troops, capturing more than 3,000 people and drowning several thousand Cao troops.
After that, Cao Cao was unable to gain an advantage, and later Sun Quan actually came to challenge him by boat himself, and Cao Cao did not dare to go to war.
When Cao Cao saw that Sun Quan's water army was strictly rectified, he said that he should have a son like Sun Zhongmou, and if he were a son like Liu Biao, he would be like a pig or a dog.
"Spring water is born, the public should go quickly" "Do not die under the feet, lonely can not be safe"
What is more interesting is that at that time, Sun Quan wrote to Cao Cao and said, "Chunshui Fangsheng, Gongyi should go quickly", many people may not understand this sentence, what is the ghost of Chunshui Fangsheng? When Cao Cao attacked Sun Quan in the first month, the place was in The Mouth of the Shu, the specific where, Zongheng did not go to examine, but at that time Cao Cao and Sun Quan's main battle site was near the Yangtze River, that is, in the current Anhui Province, Sun Quan had several northern expeditions, and what he wanted to attack was Hefei.
Anhui belongs to the dividing line between the north and the south, and in the spring, the water level will rise, Sun Quan's army is good at water warfare, and Cao Cao's army is not good at water warfare, so if the water level rises, it is a very favorable thing for Sun Quan.
Sun Quan means that the situation will be favorable to me immediately, so you should hurry up and run!
This is simply intimidation, Cao Cao has heard intimidation in his life is not less, although Sun Quan's words are domineering, but it does not scare Cao Cao, more importantly, it is full of real battlefield analysis, not blind intimidation.
In the Three Kingdoms period, the shipbuilding industry was not developed, the Yangtze River can be said to be a natural graben, Cao Cao fought countless battles in his life, winning more and losing less, but several times south failed to break through the Yangtze River, most of them were defeated on the Yangtze River.
After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi also went south several times, but the result was several southern expeditions without results, and finally Cao Pi looked at the Yangtze River and lamented: "Oh! Solid sky so separated from north to south also! ”
It can be seen that when Sun Quan said this to Cao Cao, Cao Cao's situation should be difficult to ride the tiger, and the situation developed in the direction of the Eastern Wu regime, while Cao Cao did not make any progress.
At this time, Sun Quan attached a small note to the back of the letter: "I don't die under my feet, I can't be lonely." Then, Cao Cao said to his generals, "Sun Quan will not deceive me!" Then it's time for the class.
It made people very confused, Sun Quanming said a curse word, if you don't die, I can't sleep, showing that Sun Quan is afraid of Cao Cao, so give Cao Cao a step down, Cao Cao has a lot of face, so he withdrew.
Luo Guanzhong also had a certain literary processing of this period of history in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao pondered:
"Sun Quan is not an idle person. The red sun should be the emperor for a long time. So there was a intention to retreat in his heart, and he was afraid that Eastern Wu would laugh in shame and retreat. It was reported that Eastern Wu had made an envoy to the book. it. The book reads: "Lonely and beggars, each other are Han courtiers." If the prime minister does not think of repaying the country and the people, he is acting recklessly and cruelly abusing living beings. On the same day, the spring water is born, and the public should go quickly. If not, there will be a disaster of Chibi. It is advisable for the public to think for themselves. Behind the book, there are two lines of clouds: "I don't die under my feet, and I can't be lonely."
After reading this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Sun Zhongmou will not deceive me."
Although Luo Guanzhong's adherence to Sun Quan's truth also touched Cao Cao, Cao Cao's inner thoughts should be considered.
Cao Cao thought in his heart that "Sun Quan will be the emperor after a long time", as the chancellor of the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could not tolerate such a thing, so he felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger.
In fact, Sun Quan's words are already hinting, if you don't die, I can't sleep, if a person can't even sleep steadily, it shows that there are great scruples, if you extend the interpretation, the deeper meaning of Sun Quan's words is that if you don't die, I won't be called emperor.
This face should be quite large, with this sentence, Cao Cao can safely retire from the army, decent but not embarrassing.
