The idiom "soldier without blood blade" means that there is no blood on the weapon. Indicates victory without combat.
This idiom comes from the Book of Jin. Tao Kan Chuan", Silent in the Central Plains, the number of battles with Shi Le and others, the thief fears his courage, Tao Kan asks for it, the soldier does not have a bloody blade and captures it, and it is beneficial to fear Kan.
Guo Mo, a lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry School in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, fought bravely and fought against Shi Le, the founder of Later Zhao, and shi Le and others were afraid of him. However, this person has always been arrogant and arrogant, ignoring no one, and once killed the Pingnan general Liu Yin because of his personal anger. Afterwards, he also boldly forged the edict, falsely accused Liu Yin of plotting rebellion, and informed the prefectures and counties. After this incident was exposed, Wang Dao, fearing that the imperial court would not be able to punish him, not only did not ask him for his guilt, but instead sealed his official position.
After Tao Kan learned of this incident, on the one hand, he wrote to the imperial court to request a crusade against Guo Mo, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter to Wang Dao, asking him to take decisive measures. There are two sentences in the letter that are written very forcefully: "Guo Mo killed the state official, and the imperial court appointed him as a state official." If he kills the prime minister, he will not succeed in making him the prime minister!"
Wang Dao read the letter and was greatly touched, so he sent Tao Kan to lead an army to attack Guo Mo. Guo Mo knew very well that Tao Kan's army was very powerful in battle, and when he heard that he had personally come to fight, he was very anxious and planned to lead his army to leave Jiangzhou and go south. However, Tao Kan sent troops quickly, and before Guo Mo left the city, Tao Kan's army had already surrounded Jiangzhou.
Guo Mo wants to stick to the city, but he knows that he is not Tao Kan's opponent, and he is afraid that he will not be able to escape his life after the city is destroyed; Wanting to open the city gates and surrender, but also fearing that the imperial court would kill his head, it was really a dilemma. One of his rebel generals, seeing that the tide was gone, arrested him and opened the city gates to surrender. Tao Kan finally won without a fight and quelled the rebellion.
To see is to believe
It is a Chinese idiom pronounced bǎi wén bù rú yí jiàn, which means how many times to listen to others, and it is better to see it yourself, indicating that listening more is not as reliable as seeing it in person. From the "Book of Han, Biography of Zhao Chongguo".
"The Book of Han and the Biography of Zhao Chongguo": "It is better to hear than to see, the soldiers are difficult to reach, and the subjects are willing to rush to the Golden City, and the picture is slightly omitted."
Emperor
Allusion
In the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people living in the territory of present-day Qinghai Province often invaded the interior and attacked the city. The Xiongnu also wanted to join forces with the Qiang to invade the Han Dynasty. Faced with this situation, Emperor Wu proposed to cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu, referring to this alliance, but the soldiers sent were also defeated by the Qiang. At this time, Qiangjin gradually moved north of Huangshui, looking for a place where the peasants abandoned their cultivation to graze their cattle. At the same time, the various tribes of the Qiang people also had a tendency to unite and unite, and the county officials could not prohibit it. At this time, the Xiongnu wanted to collude with the Qiang people to expand the invasion of western Han. The han dynasty sent troops to Haojiao (on the east bank of the Datong River in present-day Qinghai Province) were defeated by the Qiang and suffered heavy losses.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan, Guanglu Dafu Yiqu Anguo sent an envoy to the Qiang people, and the chief of the QiangXianzhi tribe told him that he would cross the Huangshui River in the north and livestock in a place where the Han people did not cultivate land. Yiqu Anguo reported the situation to the imperial court. Zhao Chongguo impeached Yiqu An guo for dereliction of duty. From then on, the Qiang people crossed the Huangshui River without authorization according to the previous words, and the local Han Dynasty county governors could not forbid it. In the third year of Yuan Kang (63 BC), the Xianzhi tribe and more than 200 chiefs of various Qiang tribes "broke the feud" and concluded a pact, intending to jointly invade the Han Dynasty region.
In the spring of the first year of the Shenjue Dynasty (61 BC), the two central governments of the Han Dynasty (丞相, 御史) recommended Yiqu Anguo to send an envoy to Zhuqiang to understand its movements. Yiqu Anguo did not understand the strategy, and as soon as he arrived at Qiangbu, he gathered more than thirty leaders of the Xianzhi tribe, and all of them were beheaded on the grounds that they were all guilty of disobedience. Troops were mobilized to suppress the people of The First Zero, killing more than a thousand people. Therefore, the various tribes of the Qiang clan and Yang Yu, the Marquis of Guiyi Qiang, were very frightened, left their land, plundered other small tribes, committed Han border blockades, besieged the city, killed the chief official Yiqu Anguo and led three thousand cavalry to garrison the Qiang people as a cavalry lieutenant, and were attacked by the Qiang people, suffering heavy losses. He led his troops back to Lingju and reported to the emperor.
In the face of the Qiang troubles, Emperor Xuan intended to use Zhao Chongguo, a veteran general with outstanding merits, to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but at this time, Zhao Chongguo was more than seventy years old, and Emperor Xuan sent the imperial master Bingji to ask who could be a general, and Zhao Chongguo replied confidently: "There is no one who is more than an old minister." Emperor Xuan sent someone to ask, "How about the general Du Qiangyu, how many people should he use?" (Please estimate the situation in the Western Qiang, how strong they are, and how many men and horses should be sent?) Zhao Chongguo replied, "It is better to hear than to see." The soldiers are difficult to overcome, and the subject is willing to rush to the golden city, slightly above the picture. (It's better to hear than to see.) It is difficult to accurately estimate the military situation of the other side in the rear, so let me go to the front of Jincheng to understand and then formulate a strategy!). He asked Emperor Xuan to give him the task without worrying. Emperor Xuan smiled and agreed.
In April, Emperor Xuan of Han officially dispatched the general Zhao Chongguo to lead more than 10,000 cavalrymen to suppress it. After Zhao Chong's troops arrived at Jincheng (in present-day northwestern Lanzhou, Gansu), he crossed the Yellow River in the west, led his army to advance to Luodu (present-day Ledu, Qinghai) by night, saw that the Qiang people were not guarding the danger, and then went west to DuweiFu (治林羌县, in modern Southeastern Huangyuan, Qinghai), built a fortress, and set up camp. The Qiang army challenged many times, and the Han army could not hold out. Zhao Chongguo adopted the strategy of Enwei and adopted a strategy to recruit Han, Kaiqiang, and other Qiang people who were coerced by The First Zero to fall and disintegrate the Qiang army. In July, he led the army to advance to the first zero area. The Qiang people have been soldiering for a long time, and their vigilance is lax. Suddenly seeing the arrival of the Han army soldiers, they hurriedly abandoned the carriages and horses and retreated across the huangshui. Due to the narrow road, Zhao Chongguo was afraid that the persecution was too urgent, forcing the Qiang army to go nowhere, turn back to fight to the death, and order his troops to slowly pursue. The Qiang army fell into the river and drowned hundreds of people, surrendered and was beheaded by the Han army more than 500 people, losing more than 100,000 livestock and more than 4,000 vehicles. The Han army pursued to the Han and Qiang garrisons, and Zhao Chongguo strictly forbade soldiers to burn houses and cut grass and graze cattle, and more than 10,000 Qiang people surrendered.
In December, Emperor Xuan recreated the Qiang general Xin Wuxian and the qiang general Xu Yanshou, and joined forces with Zhao Chongguo to attack Xian zero. In view of the heavy losses of the Qiang army, Zhao Chong asked the cavalry to be withdrawn and garrisoned with infantry. Emperor Xuan issued an edict accepting Zhao Chongguo's suggestion. At the same time, he also ordered the generals Xin, Xu Liang, and Zhonglang to lead Zhao Yin to continue to attack the Qiang people. The General of the Broken Qiang led the army to attack, recruiting more than 4,000 people; The crossbow general killed more than 2,000 Qiang people; Zhao Yin killed and recruited more than 2,000 people. Zhao Chong guo led the Tuntian soldiers to recruit more than 5,000 people. So far, the Qiang people have counted 50,000 people, 7,600 people have been beheaded before and after, 5,000 or 6,000 people have drowned and starved, 31,200 people have fallen, and only more than 4,000 people have escaped. Emperor Xuan ordered Zhao Chongguo to continue to lead the Tuntian army to defend, and Yu Du dismissed the troops. In the autumn of the second year of the Divine Lord, the Qiangs killed the xianzhi Qiang leaders Yu Fei and Yang Yu to surrender to Han. Han set up a vassal state of Jincheng (郡治允吾, near present-day Minhe and Xiachuankou, in present-day Yongjing, Gansu) and removed the Tuntian army.
Zhao Chongguo's saying that "it is better to hear than to see" later became a proverb and idiom. It means to hear a hundred times, it is better to see it once in person, to hear it is false, to see is to believe, and to investigate and study everything to draw conclusions.
A pair of three husbands
[Explanation]: Refers to rumors that have been spread by many people. Same as "The Words of the Three Husbands".
[Source]: The Book of Jin, The Biography of Wang Jun: "The Faith and Deeds of the Present Minister, if zeng had participated in the work; And the slander boiling, not the pair of the three disciples, the outside and the inside of the fan, for the response of the two and five. "
【Allusions】 "Warring States Policy ̇ Qin Ce II": "In the past, Zengzi was paid, and the Fei people had people with the same name as Zengzi and killed people, and people told Zengzi's mother: 'Zeng participated in the killing. The mother of the great-son said, "My son does not kill. 'Weave freely. There is a moment when people say, 'I have participated in the killing of people.' 'His mother is still weaving. And one of them told him, 'He has participated in the killing of people.' His mother was afraid, and threw herself over the wall and walked away. The husband believes in the sage of Zengsan, and the faith of the mother, and the three people doubt it, and the loving mother cannot believe in it. The sage of the present subject is not as good as the great-son, and the king's faithful subject is not as good as the mother of the great-son, and the suspected subject is not suitable for the three people, and the subject is afraid that the king will be the subject's surrender. Wang Yue: "The widow does not listen, please make an alliance with the son." So he allied himself with it.
In the past, there was a person with the same surname as Zeng Ginseng who lived in Feidi, and a person with the same surname killed someone in Feidi. Someone told Zeng's mother, saying, 'ZengShan killed someone.' Zeng's mother said, 'My son will not kill. She still weaves her own cloth. After a while, a man ran up and said, 'I have killed someone.' Zeng's mother still weaves cloth. After a while, someone else said, 'I have killed people.' Zeng's mother was terrified, threw away the shuttle, climbed over the wall, and fled.
Even a man of such a virtuous person, his mother would have doubts and distrust of him. Now I am not as good as Zeng Sanxian, the king believes that I am not as good as Zeng San's mother believes in Zeng San, and there are more than three people who criticize me, and I am afraid that the king may throw away the shuttle because of my reasons! King Wu said firmly, "I will not believe what others say, let's make a covenant!" So King Qin Wu and Gan Mao made a pact in The Lands.
Later used as a chant rumor is enough to confuse people.
