(In the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong slashed Zhang Fei's uncle to death with a knife)
Twenty-four years after Jian'an, Liu Bei's group and Cao Cao's group were fighting in Hanzhong, and this end was led by Liu Bei himself, determined to win, no matter how much he lost, he would take Hanzhong, and the other side, led by Xiahou Yuan, insisted on holding on, and was unwilling to give up. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Liu Bei's general Huang Zhong played the role of Mr. Key, taking advantage of Xiahou Yuan's going to support Zhang Guo and repair the antlers, he led his army to attack, Xiahou Yuan's death in battle led to a fundamental reversal of the situation in the Battle of Hanzhong, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Liu Beifang.
But what Huang Zhong didn't know was that his knife not only solved Liu Bei's serious problems, but also hacked Zhang Fei's uncle to death.
Readers and friends may find it strange, what does Zhang Fei's uncle mean? This means that Xiahou Yuan is Zhang Fei's uncle....... You must be wondering, what's all this mess? We have to start with Zhang Fei's wife, Lady Xiahou.
(Why is Xiahou Yuan zhang Fei's uncle?) That has to start with Lady Xiahou)
Lady Xiahou's surname is Xiahou, yes, it is Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Huan's Xiahou, and Lady Xiahou is also Xiahou Yuan's niece, and the two have a very deep relationship.
Although she was from a famous and prestigious family (the ancestors of the Xiahou family were Xiahou Bao, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty), the life of the Xiahou girl was very bitter. When she was very young, her parents died, and her father entrusted Xiahou Yuan to Xiahou Yuan before his death, so the Xiahou clan gradually grew up under xiahou yuan's support.
(Lady Xiahou was Xiahou Yuan's niece, and during that famine era, Xiahou Yuan sacrificed his young son to raise Xiahou's family to grow up)
Although Xiahou Yuan is always described in the novels as a reckless man with no long brains, the historical Xiahou Yuan is a hot-blooded man with great affection and righteousness. The last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were a period of great turmoil, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's disaster of the country, famine and military disasters, Cao Cao once described the tragic situation of the people in this period in his poem "Artemisia Lixing": "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken chirping for thousands of miles." The people of life are left behind, and the thoughts are broken. ”
As a region where the Yellow Turban Army was rampant, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were even more full of mourning, and the Xiahou family was also poor and could not open the pot, the original life was tight, and now there was an extra mouth to eat, seeing that the family did not have enough food, in order to feed the orphan daughter left by the dead brother, Xiahou Yuanqiang endured grief and made a decision: to give up his young son and use the rations he saved to feed the Xiahou clan. - "Shi Yan and Yu were in chaos, and Yuan, hungry and tired, abandoned his young son, and lived his brother and daughter." Although the name of this orphan girl is not mentioned in the history books, according to The later performance of Lady Xiahou and the scales and claws of the history books (after Xiahou Yuan died in battle at Dingjun Mountain, Lady Xiahou missed her uncle's nurturing grace and asked Zhang Fei to come forward to ask for a generous burial of Xiahou Yuan), we can still boldly speculate that Lady Xiahou is this orphan girl.
(In the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei fled to runan, Yingchuan, so Zhang Fei and Xiahou met))
And as Cao Cao's career began to take off, Xiahou Yuan, as the humerus of the Cao clan, was also highly valued, and he successively became an important position such as Chen Liu Taishou and Yingchuan Taishou, and his life slowly improved, so how did the Xiahou girl under Xiahou Yuan's protection get involved with Zhang Fei?
Speaking of the fate of Zhang Fei and Lady Xiahou, we have to start with one of his hooligan acts. In the summer of the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei's life became more and more difficult, last year he also killed Che Gui and reoccupied Xuzhou, the limelight was the same for a while, as a result, Cao Cao picked him up by hand when Guandu confronted Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei, who was beaten by Cao Cao again and looked for teeth, could only take Zhang Fei to yuan shao, Liu Bei's strength was just Chinese New Year's Eve a cold dish for Yuan Shao, whether he could celebrate the New Year, at this time it happened to catch the yellow turban thieves in Runan, in order to make Cao Cao's backyard catch fire, Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to support, So Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and others engaged in guerrilla warfare between Runan, Yingchuan, and Zhang Fei and Xiahou Shi met in this context—"Runan," Liu Bei, the Yellow Turban of Runan, and others attached yuan shao, and Shao sent Liu Bei's generals to help them, preparing to attack between Ru and Ying, and to the south of Xu, the people were uneasy. Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to break the cavalry away. ”
(Unlike the romantic meeting in the cartoon, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Are Completely Bandits Robbing Women and Plundering People,) Zhang Fei's image is not tall)
Of course, the first meeting between the two is not romantic, to use the usual routine of martial arts novels: a little girl to subsidize the family to go to the mountains to cut firewood and collect grass, unfortunately she met a gang of bandit bullies, the bandit leader at a glance took a fancy to the beautiful little girl, so he disregarded the little girl's cries and forcibly abducted her and occupied her as a lady of the village. In this story, Xiahou Shi is this innocent little girl, but Zhang Fei is not a brave bandit, a hero to save the United States, but a bandit leader who robbed the people's daughter - "At the beginning, Jian'an was five years old, Shi Bacong was thirteen and fourteen years old, in this county, traveling to collect trees, for Zhang Fei's income." Fei knew his daughter and thought of her as a wife. ”
Some readers and friends have questioned, ordinary people's daughters are also counted, but at this time Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, and the Xiahou family also made a trace, and you are also a lady of a large family, why do you have to show your face and come out to pick trees?
There are probably two reasons for this, the first reason is that the Xiahou family style is like this, the Cao family and the first generation of the Xiahou family's big men, except for Cao Hong, who fell into the eyes of money (even Cao Cao lamented that the money in his family did not have Cao Hongduo), other people's lives were very simple, such as The Weiwu Emperor Cao Cao's "elegant and frugal, not good ornate, the harem clothes are not splendid, the imperial servants are not two, the drapery screen, the bad is supplemented, the Yin Qi takes the warmth, and there is no chance to decorate." Xiahou Huan said, "Although he was in the army, he personally welcomed the division to receive employment." He is frugal in nature, has surplus wealth to divide, does not have enough capital to be official, and does not rule the estate. "It's all about spending as much as you want, and there's never been a concept of saving money." And Xiahou Yuan is more enthusiastic and righteous, judging from his behavior of preferring to starve his son to raise Xiahou's family, it is estimated that he has not helped other clans on weekdays, even if Feng Lu is high, the family must be bitter haha.
The second reason is that Cao Cao did not want to save, but indeed could not survive, using four words to describe Yanzhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, "many disasters and many difficulties." The Yellow Turban Thieves did not stop for several years, Cao Cao and Lü Bu launched a tug-of-war for the dominance, just when the two sides were fighting and bleeding, a terrible locust plague broke out, famine swept through the whole of Yanzhou, in order to survive, Cao Cao's army not only snatched grain everywhere, but even ate human flesh - "Cao Cao lacked food, Yu Skimmed his own county, provided three days of food, quite a mixture of human breasts", even people can eat, what else can not be done? Thus Hu Bayi's ancestors were born, and in Chen Lin's "Yuwen for Yuan Shao's Yuzhou", he specifically wrote about Cao Cao's feat of stealing tombs and touching gold: "King Xiao of Liang, the mother and brother of the former emperor, the tomb is honored, the songbai sangzi, and yuyi gongsu, and the cao led the school officials to personally excavate, break the coffin and the naked body, and plunder the gold treasure." The Holy Pilgrimage wept and the people were saddened. He also sent General Qiu Zhonglang and Lieutenant Touching Gold, and all the skeletons that passed through the turmoil were not revealed. ”
This article has a strong bias, it is likely to give Cao Cao a pot of on his head, but Cao Cao's predicament at that time we can also peek into one or two, that is really eager to break a penny in half, so easy Lü Bu was driven away, Yanzhou stopped, not a few years later, the Battle of Guandu broke out...
So it is not surprising that the Xiahou girl went out to collect trees, during that time, it is estimated that the entire upper echelons of Cao Wei were soldiers, and even the women had to weave and collect trees (in fact, they went up the mountain to cut firewood, collected deciduous mountain grass and other reserves, in case they could not make a fire in the winter or the wet season of plum rain), it was also the Xiahou girl who was unlucky, and met Zhang Fei on the mountain, and the Xiahou girl herself looked beautiful, so she was laughed at by Zhang Sanye.
(Why did Xiahou Yuan allow his niece to be snatched away by Zhang Fei?) Because he was not in Yingchuan at this time, he went to deliver military food to Cao Cao)
It is estimated that some friends will ask, will the men who lost their nieces in the Xiahou family not go looking for them, and Xiahou Yuan will allow Zhang Fei to abduct his niece?
No way, Xiahou Yuan did not know this at all, at this time he was rushing to send military food to Cao Cao, Yuan Cao confronted Guandu, on Cao Cao's idea of the family can not afford such a consumption, soon there was a dilemma of insufficient military food, or Xiahou Yuan personally led the army to transport military food, Cao Cao had the courage to continue to fight yuan Shao to death. But Xiahou Yuan did not expect that he had made such a trip to the far gate and his little niece was abducted by someone, although he was furious and thunderous, but Zhang Fei had already fled, where did he find anyone?
But fortunately, Zhang Fei is still a bit responsible, knowing xiahou girl's extraordinary life, she married her as a wife, inexplicably abducted by people, husband Jun is still an enemy of his uncle, you can imagine how disgusted Xiahou Lady's attitude towards this marriage is, but what can she do with an orphan daughter? Xiahou clan finally confessed her fate, so she married Zhang Fei, and followed all the way to Xinye, went to Dangyang, to Sichuan, husband and wife lived for decades, and also had two sons and two daughters (there is no historical data to specify who the mother of Zhang Bao and Zhang Shao's brothers is, this article is directly regarded as Lady Xiahou's child) After Xiahou Yuan's death, Xiahou Clan requested xiahou Yuan to be buried, and the relationship between the two should be good (because of the killing of Xiahou Yuan, Huang Zhong was directly promoted from general To Hou General, which shows that Liu Bei's clique was happy to see Xiahou Yuan's death in battle. If Xiahou Yuan could be buried thickly, it must be Lady Xiahou who asked Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei in turn).
Zhang Fei protected Lady Xiahou very well, and did not suffer any discrimination in the Jihan Xiahou clan, and when Xiahou Ba's cousin Xiahou Ba fled to Jihan decades later, Liu Chan also specially called his son out to meet his uncle (Xiahou Ba's cousin was Xiahou Ba's cousin, higher than Liu Chan's generation)—and Ba' entry into Shu, Zen and meeting, Shi Zhi said: "Father Qing was killed in the inter-line ear, not the hand blade of my ancestors." Referring to his son, he said, "This nephew of the Xiahou clan is also." "Pampered.
But Zhang Fei grabbed it like this, although he solved the wife problem, but the relationship in the Three Kingdoms could be messed up...
(Being so disturbed by Zhang Fei, the brother who was originally in a chaotic relationship is now even more chaotic)
First of all, the Xiahou family and the Cao family were married for generations, Xiahou Yuan married Cao Cao's wife and sister, so Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao's brothers were of the same generation, xiahou Yuan's niece married Zhang Fei, so they were all Zhang Fei's great uncles, according to the interpretation, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei and Guan Yu were brothers, so Cao Cao was Liu Bei's great uncle...
Of course, some readers and friends will definitely remind me that this is just a deduction, and it has nothing to do with the history! In fact, in the history of Zheng, Cao Cao was also Liu Bei's great uncle, because Zhang Fei and Xiahou had a daughter, and this girl later became Liu Chan's empress, so Liu Chan became Cao Cao's cousin and grandson, and Liu Bei became Cao Cao's nephew.
(Was Emperor Xian of Han Cao Pi's brother-in-law or father-in-law?) ）
This is not the end, Cao Cao is also related to Sun Quan, Cao Cao first married his brother's daughter to Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Kuang, but he also let his son Cao Zhang marry the daughter of Sun Ben (that is, Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brother), according to the previous marriage, Cao Cao is also Sun Quan's uncle, but look at the back, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are the same generation.
Not only is the relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Quan messed up, have you forgotten? Liu Bei is Sun Quan's brother-in-law! In addition, Cao Cao also let his son Cao Quan marry the daughter of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan (Cao Cao was a generation shorter than Yuan Shao according to the generations), and then he let three daughters marry Emperor Xian of Han (so that he was Emperor Xian's father-in-law, Cao Pi and his contemporaries), in return, Emperor Xian of Han married his two daughters to Cao Pi (who was cao Pi's father-in-law again), and in return, Emperor Xian of Han married his two daughters to Cao Pi (who was cao Pi's father-in-law again).
In the final analysis, this Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms at the end of the year, and it turned out that everyone was in a circle of friends! From the perspective of Liu Zhan (Liu Chan's son, Liu Bei's grandson), the Three Kingdoms are actually between their grandfather, uncle and second aunt and grandfather...
