062 Beautiful concubines for horses

Dig up the three generations of the Cao family, but they only dug up the three people who are on the throne, and the rest, right?

For example, Cao Cao's branch, he has 25 sons, why did he only dig Cao Pi and stop it? Didn't his 25 sons live during the Three Kingdoms period?

They lived in the Three Kingdoms period, and their wives, children, and spouses also lived in the Three Kingdoms period. Dig up a few shovels and see if you can dig up anything.

Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was 20 years old when he died, and he should have gotten married and had children, but no, for what reason? Unknown, no information about his wife or children.

Only after Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor, he often said in front of the courtiers: "Brother Xiaolian, naturally he should inherit this position." If Cang Shu is still here, I can't be the emperor. ”

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), Cao Pi mourned Cao Ang and posthumously mourned the Duke of Feng.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Cao Wan, the son of Cao Cao's deceased concubine Fan Angong Cao Jun, succeeded Cao Ang as his heir. It was nominally passed on to Cao Ang, so that Cao Ang's incense would not be broken.

In the fifth year of the early Huang dynasty (224), Cao Ang was further posthumously crowned as the king of Feng Mourning. His nephew, Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, succeeded to the throne and changed his name to 丰愍 (mǐ) in the third year of Taihe (229).

King.

At this point, Cao Pi and Cao Ei's father and son have atoned for Cao Cao's sins.

Cao Wan's son Cao Lian, the heir of King Feng (inheriting his father's title).

…… ……

Cao Pi said that he was no longer annoying. Under Cao Pi is Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang has been good at archery and driving since he was a child, and his arm strength is outstanding, and he can fight with fierce beasts with his bare hands, and he is not afraid of danger and difficulties. He followed Cao Cao on several expeditions and was generous and high-spirited.

Cao Cao once criticized him and said, "You don't aspire to study and learn the way of sages, but you are good at riding horses and fencing, which can only deal with one person, how can it be precious!" ”

Cao Cao urged him to study the Book of Songs and the Book of Songs.

Cao Zhang said to the people around him, "The eldest husband should follow the example of generals like Wei Qing and Huo Quai, lead 100,000 people to gallop on the desert, expel Rong Di, and make meritorious contributions, how can he be a doctor?" ”

Cao Cao once asked several of his sons about their hobbies, and asked them to tell each of them about their aspirations. Cao Zhang said, "I am willing to be a general." ”

Cao Cao said, "What are you doing as a general? ”

Cao Zhang replied, "Wear strong armor, hold sharp weapons, ignore yourself in the face of danger, take the lead, merit will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished." ”

Cao Cao laughed.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Zhang was named Yan (yā

Mausoleum.

In April of the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), on behalf of the Northern Wuhuan Wuchen Di (Nengchen Di) and others rebelled, Cao Cao appointed Cao Zhang as the general of Beizhong Lang, exercising the duties of a cavalry general.

Before leaving, Cao Cao warned Cao Zhang, "At home, we are father and son, and if we accept the order, we are kings and ministers, and we must act according to the king's law in every move, and you must take it as an example!" ”

Cao Zhang's northern expedition entered the territory of Zhuo County, and the rebellious Karasuma tribe attacked them with thousands of cavalry, and Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses had not yet been assembled, only 1,000 infantry and hundreds of war horses.

Cao Zhang used Tian Yu's strategy to hold the key point of the position.

The enemy was routed and fled, Cao Zhang pursued, fought the enemy in person, shot the enemy cavalry with arrows, and fell in a series of front and back.

After fighting for a long time, Cao Zhang's armor was hit by a few arrows, and his momentum became even more majestic, and he pursued it until the Sanggan River, which was more than 200 miles away from Daijun.

The army commander and the generals all believed that the troops were coming from afar, the men and horses were tired, and there were orders not to cross the county and not to go deep into the enemy's territory, and to disobey the order to underestimate the enemy.

Cao Zhang said, "Leading the army to go out just to win, why should it be restricted? The enemy hasn't gone far yet, and catching up with them will crush them. Obeying orders to let the enemy go is by no means a good general. ”

Then he mounted his horse and ordered his troops, "Kill those who lag behind!" ”

In a day and a night, they caught up with the enemy, won a great victory in the sortie, beheaded and captured thousands of people.

Cao Zhang rewarded the soldiers several times more than usual, and the whole army was not unhappy.

At that time, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, Kebineng, led tens of thousands of horses to watch the strength of the two sides, and saw that Cao Zhang was struggling to kill and was invincible, so he asked for submission, so that the north was pacified.

At that time, Cao Cao was in Chang'an and summoned Cao Zhang to his camp.

Cao Chang passed through Ye (yΓ¨) county from Dai County, and the prince said to Cao Zhang, "You have just made a meritorious service, now go to the west to meet the lord, be careful not to be arrogant and boastful, and be humble in answering questions." ”

Cao Zhang arrived in Chang'an, and according to what the prince said, he gave all the credit to the generals. Cao Cao was very happy, stroked Cao Zhang's beard and said, "Huang Xu'er is actually not simple!" ”

In September of the same year, Cao Cao fought a fierce battle with the Shu army in Hanzhong, and Liu Bei's army was on the top of the mountain and ordered Liu Feng to go down the mountain to challenge.

Cao Cao scolded, "You boy who sells straw sandals, you actually sent your righteous son to lead troops to resist me, ah! Look at me calling my (biological) yellow beard. ”

So he ordered Cao Zhang to be summoned to help in the battle.

Cao Zhang then doubled day and night, but by the time he reached Chang'an, Cao Cao had already returned from Hanzhong.

After Cao Cao returned to the east, he used Cao Zhangxing to cross the cavalry general and stayed in Chang'an.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), after Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang, he fell seriously ill and sent a stagecoach to summon Cao Zhang.

But Cao Zhang did not arrive, and Cao Cao had already died.

Cao Pi was the throne, Cao Zhang and the princes went to their own feudal country, Cao Pi issued an edict saying, "The way of the ancient emperor, with meritorious deeds to make relatives harmonious, and to divide the mother and brother, establish a state to inherit the family business, so can defend the great sect, resist invasion, and prevent disasters." Cao Zhang was previously ordered to go on a northern expedition to pacify the land of Shuofang, and his feats were great, adding 5,000 households to him, including a total of 10,000 households. ”

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), Cao Zhangjin became the duke.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Cao Zhang was named the king of Rencheng.

In the fourth year of the Huang dynasty (223), Cao Chang made a pilgrimage to Beijing, during which he fell ill and died violently in his mansion on June 17 (August 1), posthumously admonishing King Wei at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

At the time of his burial, the imperial court gave him a hundred dragon banners and tiger warriors, following the old example of Liu Cang, the king of Dongping in the Han Dynasty.

(Martyrdom?!) οΌ‰

His son Cao Kai inherited the title.

…… ……

There are several legends about Cao Zhang's bravery:

First, Cao Zhang, who was strong and resolute when he was young, learned the theory of the Yin and Yang family and the number of wefts, and recited thousands of words from classics such as "Six Classics" and "Hong Fan".

His father, Cao Cao, planned to attack Wu and Shu, and asked Cao Zhang for the tricks of marching and fighting, and Cao Zhang replied fluently. Cao Cao adopted it all.

Second, Cao Zhang can open the bow left and right, swordsmanship within 100 steps, and cut off people's beards and hair.

Three said that at that time, Lelang County offered a tiger, with colorful textures, and it was locked in an iron cage, and the wrestlers did not dare to look at it.

Cao Zhang grabbed the tiger's tail and wrapped it around his arm, the tiger pressed to his ears and didn't dare to make a sound, everyone admired his bravery.

Fourth, it was said that the Nanyue Kingdom offered a white elephant to Emperor Wu, Cao Zhang pinched its nose with his hand, and the elephant obediently lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Five said that Emperor Wen Cao Pi once cast a 10,000-pound bell, hung in the Wenhua Palace, and wanted to change the place, but a hundred wrestlers could not move, but Cao Zhang carried the bell and left.

When the Quartet heard of his bravery, they all stopped their troops to protect themselves.

Emperor Wen said, "With the majesty of the king of Rencheng, annexing Bashu is like an owl killing a mouse!" ”

Cao Zhang passed away and was buried according to the funeral of King Dongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the time of the funeral, hundreds of people cried in the air to send each other off (!) οΌ‰

The mourners said that this was the soul of the soul who died in the war in the past without a coffin, and the king of Ren Cheng was merciful and buried these dry bones. The deceased have spirits in the earth, and they are grateful, so they come to praise their kindness.

…… ……

It's far away, isn't it? said "women of the Three Kingdoms", how did you get involved with a big man in the Three Kingdoms? It's really a man who has a lot of taste. I want to say that such a man of the Three Kingdoms, what is the woman in his eyes?

The ancient words of Yuefu poems are said to have the phrase "Love Concubine for Horses".

"Du Yizhi" said that after Wei Cao Zhang, he had a dignified personality.

I once saw a horse by chance, and I loved it very much, but the owner of the horse also cherished it. Cao Zhang wanted to buy it with silver taels, but the owner of the horse did not sell it.

So, Cao Zhang said, "I have beautiful concubines to exchange, you can choose." ”

The owner of the horse appointed a prostitute, and Cao Zhang exchanged it with him.

- In Cao Zhang's eyes, a woman can be exchanged for a horse of equal value.

Later, this code was used to describe the so-called amorous and arrogant behavior of the wealthy people, and it was also used to sing concubines or horses.

…… ……

There is one more thing, Cao Zhang can get involved with women:

According to the "Zaiyuan Magazine" written by Liu Tingji of the Qing Dynasty, when Cao Cao redeemed Cai Wenji, he ordered Cao Zhang's troops to come to the north and threaten the southern Xiongnu. In other words, Cao Chang is credited to Cai Wenji's return.

However, if he holds Cai Wenji, the owner of the horse asks him to exchange Cai Wenji for his horse, and Cao Zhang will change it?

…… ……

According to Liu Yiqing's "New Words of the World" of Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty, Cao Zhang's death was because Cao Pi was afraid of Cao Zhang's martial arts and used a trick to poison Cao Zhang.

It turned out that although Cao Zhang was a fierce general, he was quite fond of chess, and Cao Pi did what he liked.

In the middle of the game, Cao Pi had already seen the upper hand, and at this time he instructed the maid who was waiting, "Don't bring the jujube quickly." ”

So, while playing chess, the two were eating black dates, and on the surface, they seemed to be in love, but in fact, the vicious Cao Pi had already poisoned some dates, and secretly made a mark, and he chose to eat without poison.

Cao Zhang was kept in the dark, and after a while, Cao Zhang only felt top-heavy, his eyes were straight, and before he could say a word, he fell to the ground.

Someone had already informed the Empress Dowager Bian, and the Empress Dowager Bian came, but she finally failed to save Cao Zhang's life, and the chessboard was splashed with bright red blood stains spit out by Cao Zhang.
