Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the tenth is Tai Shici.

…… ……

Tai Shi Ci (166-206), the name Ziyi, was a native of Donglai Huang County (now Donghuangchengji, Longkou, Shandong). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a military general, and the official was the captain of Jianchang.

Skilled in archery and horse, excellent in archery.

Originally a subordinate of Liu Xiang (yáo), he was later surrendered by Sun Ce, and since then Tai Shici has been the general of the Sun clan to help him sweep Jiangdong.

After Sun Quan became unified, because Tai Shi Ci was able to control Liu Pan, he entrusted him with the important task of managing the south.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Tai Shici died, and before he died, he said, "When your husband is alive, he should bring a three-foot sword to ascend to the rank of the Son of Heaven." I didn't follow my will today, but I died! (Book of Wu)

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said, "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he brought a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, he tried to succeed in his ambition, but he died!" ”

He died at the age of forty.

…… ……

Tai Shi Ci is seven feet seven inches long, has a beautiful beard, is good at shooting with ape arms, and is a real marksman. Since he was a child, he has been very studious, and later served as the history of Cao Cao.

At that time, there was a dispute between the county and the state, and the merits could not be distinguished, and it was more advantageous to let the officials (the officials in charge of punishments) know about the case first.

At that time, the state had already sent its order to the Division, and the county guard was afraid that it would be unfavorable to lag behind, so he sought someone who could be a messenger.

Tai Shici was twenty-one years old at the time, and was elected as an envoy, but he took a shortcut day and night, arrived in Luoyang, first waited in front of the bus, and waited for the state officials to arrive, and then began to seek to pass through the chapter.

Tai Shi Ci pretended to ask the governor, "Are you also here to ask for the Tongzhang?" ”

The governor replied, "Yes." ”

Tai Shi Ci asked again, "Where is the concerto?" ”

The governor said, "In the car." ”

Tai Shi Ci said, "Is the inscription of the chapter really correct? Can you take a look? ”

The state official didn't know that Tai Shici was from Donglai, so he took out the recital and showed it to him.

Who knew that Tai Shi Ci had hidden the knife in his arms, and after taking the state seal, he took the knife and destroyed it.

The governor shouted in amazement, "Someone has ruined my recital!"

Tai Shi Ci took the governor to the chariot and said to him, "If you don't take out the memoir and give it to me, I can't damage it, and I'm afraid that our good fortune and evil will be equal, and I may not be the only one who suffers this sin, but you will be free." Rather than sit and wait to be killed, if we all run away together, we can at least save our lives and not have to be tortured needlessly. ”

The governor asked, puzzled, "You have succeeded in destroying my music for the sake of your county, so why should you flee?" ”

Tai Shici said, "I was originally sent by this county, but I was only responsible for inspecting whether your state constitution has been passed. But what I did was so drastic that I broke my official seal. Now, even if they see it, they will probably be condemned and punished for it, so they hope to flee together. ”

The state officials believed what Tai Shi Ci said, and fled with Tai Shi Ci on the same day.

However, after Tai Shici and the state officials went out of the city, they absconded back to the city to pass on the county chapter and complete the mission.

The state family knew about it and sent another official to Luoyang to pass the chapter, but the department did not re-examine the case because of the reason that he had obtained the county seal first, so the state family suffered from it.

Tai Shici was famous for this incident, but he also became a figure hated by the state, and in order to avoid unjustified disasters, he took refuge in Liaodong.

As early as before serving as Cao Shi, Tai Shi Ci married Donglai Mu and had a son, named Tai Shi Heng.

When he avoided trouble in Liaodong, he got acquainted with a rich family surnamed Wang, the Wang family had a daughter, who was waiting to be married, Tai Shi Ci was handsome again, and the Wang family recruited him as a son-in-law, and the Wang family gave birth to a daughter for Tai Shi Ci.

…… ……

In 193 A.D. (the fourth year of the first peace), Kong Rong, the minister of the North Sea, knew that Tai Shi Ci was the county too guarded the state chapter, and was very surprised, so he sent people to ask Tai Shi Ci's mother several times, and gave gifts as a tribute.

Tai Shici had been hiding in Liaodong for two years, thinking that it would not be a problem to always live like this, and he would have to return to Beihai to do things, so he said to Wang, "My mother is very old, I want to go back to visit, and I can return in more than a year, and you are waiting for me here." ”

Wang's commitment is unacceptable.

Tai Shici told his father-in-law that he entrusted his wife and daughter to the Wang family and went to Beihai.

…… ……

coincided with Kong Rong to deal with the Yellow Turban Tyrant and went out of Duchang, but was besieged by the Yellow Turban thief Guan Hai.

When Tai Shici returned home from Liaodong, his mother said to him, "Although you and Kong Beihai have never met, since you traveled, Beihai has been kind to me, compared to the old relatives, he is now besieged by thieves, you should go to help." ”

So after Tai Shici stayed at home for three days, he went to Duchang alone.

…… ……

At that time, the siege of thieves was not too dense, so Tai Shici took advantage of the night to wait for the gap, rushed into the siege to see Kong Rong, and asked him to send troops to fight the thieves.

Kong Rong didn't listen to his words, and only waited for foreign aid. But the outside rescue did not come, and the thieves surrounded **. Kong Rong wanted to tell Liu Bei in a hurry, but unfortunately no one in the city was willing to go out of the siege, so Tai Shici begged himself to try it.

Kong Rong said, "Now the thieves are very dense, and everyone says that it is difficult to break through, although you have ambitions, but this is always too difficult?" ”

Tai Shi Ci replied, "In the past, the prince of the house took care of his mother, and the mother of the house felt the grace of the king, so she sent me to help the king. This is because I should have something to offer, and I will be able to benefit the king. Now everyone says that you can't break through, if I also say no, how can this be the original intention of the prince of the palace to love and care for me and the mother to send me? The situation is urgent, and I hope that the prince will not doubt it. ”

Only then did Kong Rong agree.

So Tai Shi Ci pretended to be full, and after dawn, he brought an arrow bag, took a bow and mounted a horse, led two horses behind him, each supported an arrow target, and opened the door and went straight out of the city.

The thieves on the periphery were all very frightened, and the soldiers and horses went out to guard against each other.

But Tai Shi Ci only led the horse to the edge of the moat, inserted the arrow target, went out and practiced shooting, and after the practice of shooting, he returned to the city.

The next day, as on the first day, he sent someone to insert the arrow target, and he began to practice his arrows, as if no one was besieging the city.

The soldiers on the periphery either stood up and stood guard, or some lay down and ignored it, so Tai Shi Ci finished shooting and then entered the city again.

On the third day, just like the previous two days, he practiced arrows by himself, and did not take the besieging people in his eyes.

The soldiers on the periphery were no longer on guard. A faction that you do yours and has nothing to do with us.

So, Tai Shi Ci turned the horse stiff, whipped the horse a few times, and quickly broke through the encirclement and galloped away. When the thieves realized that Tai Shi Ci had become more encircled, he looked back and shot several people with bows and arrows, but they all fell in response, so no one dared to chase after them.

Soon, Tai Shici arrived in the plains and lobbied Liu Bei, "I am a person from Donglai, and I am not a flesh-and-blood relative of Kong Beihai, nor a friend of the township party, but I know each other because of my admiration for comrades, and I have the love of sharing disasters and suffering." Fang Jinguan Hai rioted, Beihai was besieged, lonely, helpless, and in danger. I have heard for a long time that the king has the name of benevolence and righteousness, and he can save people in distress, so Beihai is looking forward to your help, and even more Ci Gan takes the risk of the blade, breaks out of the siege, and entrusts the envoy from ten thousand deaths, hoping that the king will know about it. ”

Liu Bei replied, "Kong Beihai also knows that there is Liu Bei in the world!"

Liu Bei and Kong Rong had a disagreement, but they still sent 3,000 elite soldiers to return to Duchang with Tai Shici.

When the thieves heard that reinforcements had arrived, they were all busy breaking the siege and scattering.
