Spies have existed in ancient and modern China and abroad, but the spy I am talking about today is not ordinary. She is a beauty spy. She is one of the four beauties of ancient China, the mink cicada.
Mink cicada, living in the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, birth years are not available, Shanxi Xinzhou people, together with Xi Shi, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and called the four great beauties of ancient China, is one of the four great beauties of ancient times "closed moon".
In order to save the Han Dynasty, Wang Yun instructed wang Yun to implement a serial plan, so that Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu turned against each other, and finally used Lü Bu's hand to get rid of the evil thief Dong Zhuo. After that, Sable Cicada became Lü Bu's concubine, and after Dong Zhuobu defeated Lü Bu, she followed Lü Bu to Xuzhou. Lü Bu was later killed by Cao Cao, and Sable Cicada followed Lü Bu's family to Xuchang, where he disappeared.
Some people say that the mink cicada is the earliest spy in history. First: the mink cicada is only added by the novelist to add color, and there is no record in the main history; the second is that the activities engaged in by the novel character mink cicada do not have a "national nature", and "espionage" is a profession with a strong "national nature". He is a secret agent who helps the enemy to collect national intelligence. The cicada can only be said to be "undercover", not a spy. Based on this, the claim that the mink cicada is a spy is wrong. ‘
Among the four beauties in China, the most charming is the mink cicada, because she has made the hero Hao Jie fascinated; She is also the most elusive, because people have not yet figured out her true colors. There are four main views on her origins.
The first view is that she is Wang Yun's prostitute. Wang Yun, a native of Qi County, Taiyuan, Eastern Han Dynasty, was a zishi teacher. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he served as the assassin of Yu Prefecture and served as Situ after Emperor Xian ascended the throne. In order to eliminate Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun wanted to use the beauty plan to achieve his goal. So he thought of the mink cicada, and Wang Yun explained to her the reasons and asked her to help. According to Wang Yun's request, the marten cicada provoked a contradiction between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo with her beauty, and finally, using Lü Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, he made a great contribution to Wang Yun's exclusion of dissidents. Wang Yun saw it: "The beauty of the cicadas makes the moon hide behind the clouds." According to this, posterity has legends that the mink cicada has the appearance of "closed moon".
The second view is that he is Dong Zhuo's handmaiden. Dong Zhuo, Eastern Han Dynasty Longxi Lintao people, character Zhongying. Originally Liangzhou Haoqiang, when the Ling Emperor was in charge, he served as the pastor of Liangzhou. In the first year of Zhaoning, he led an army into Luoyang, deposed the Shao Emperor, established the Emperor Xian, and arbitrarily ruled the government. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao rebelled, and he threatened emperors to move west to Chang'an, making himself a taishi and later killed by Lü Bu. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty * Lü Bu Biography": "Zhuo Yibu was a riding lieutenant, swore to be a father and son, and loved xinzhi very much." Chang Xiao was frustrated, Zhuo pulled out the sword and threw it, and the cloth fist was spared. Bu Yu is a grudge against Zhuo. Zhuo also made Bu guard the middle cabinet, and the private and the maid were in love, and it was not at ease. "This passage records the throwing of the sword by Feng yiting. It can be seen from this that the mink cicada is Dong Zhuo's maid who is in love with Lü Bu.
A third view is that she is Lü Bu's wife. According to the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu's Biography" quoted in the "Hero's Record": "In June of the first year of Jian'an, at midnight, Bu rebelled against Hao Meng in Hanoi, and the generals entered the Pi Mansion under the rule of the infantry, and outside the Cabinet of the Imperial Household, shouted in unison, Bu did not know who the anti-would be, led the woman directly, and the head of the section was dressed, and the xiang would come out of the upper row wall, and the capital would supervise the Gao Shun camp. He also said: "Bu wants to make Chen Gong and Gao Shun defend the city, and he will ride off the Taizu Grain Road, and Bu's wife said: "The palace and Shunsu are not in harmony, and as soon as the general comes out, the palace and Shun will not be willing to defend the city together, if they are falling, what should the general do to stand on his own?" Concubines used to be in Chang'an, but they had been abandoned by the generals, and Lai De Pang Shu secretly hid concubines, and now he did not need to take care of concubines. "Boo de la Vinci, depressed and unable to self-determination." The woman in the cloak described here is Lü Bu's wife, Marten Chan.
There is also a view that she is the wife of Lü Bu's general Qin Yilu. Because Guan Yunchang wanted to marry him, but because Cao Cao "left himself behind", it caused Guan Yunchang's jealousy, and he burned in the fire, and killed Qin Yilu's wife as soon as he arrived. Therefore, Qin Yilu's wife also became a legendary mink cicada.
As one of the four beauties, the final fate of the mink cicada is tragic, which is exactly the saying of red face and thin life.
