Chapter 384: Fish-shaped Tiger Talisman
Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Shi Liya smiled slightly and said, "Li Bing, do you know the story of Xinlingjun?" ”
Li Bing was stunned, and for a while, he really didn't think about it.
Seeing that Li Bing's face was slightly red and slightly embarrassed, Zhao Wan'er immediately interjected: "Sister Shi, I also know this, of course Li Bing, a college graduate student, knows better." You are talking about the famous Xinlingjun in 'Wei Wei Saves Zhao', right? ”
Shi Liya smiled and nodded, Li Bing was reminded by Zhao Wan'er, and suddenly remembered, and secretly thanked Zhao Wan'er for her ice and snow cleverness, and skillfully relieved him of the embarrassing siege. He said unhurriedly: "During the Warring States Period, the Qin State sent troops to besiege Handan, the capital of the Zhao State, and the Pingyuan Jun of the Zhao State asked for help from the King of Wei and the King of Xinling because his wife was the sister of the King of Wei Xinling. ”
"The king of Wei sent the veteran general Jin Cong to lead 100,000 troops to rescue the state of Zhao, and the state of Qin sent envoys to intimidate the king of Wei. Fearing the strength of Qin, the king of Wei sent someone to tell the general Jin to order the garrison to wait and see. In order to rush to the aid of Handan, Xinling Jun Wuji, the prince of Wei, conspired with Ruji, the wife of the king of Wei, so that Ruji stole the tiger talisman in the bedroom of the king of Wei, and used the tiger talisman to seize the command of the army of Jin, break the Qin soldiers, and save the Zhao state. ”
As soon as Li Bing finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Sister Shi, are you saying that this fish-shaped bronze sculpture is a tiger talisman?" ”
Shi Liya smiled and did not answer, Zhao Wan'er said in surprise on the side: "It is said that the tiger talisman is a talisman used by the ancient emperor to transfer troops, a token made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger, split into two halves, half of which is handed over to the general, and the other half is kept by the emperor. This was a symbol of power in ancient times, and today I am fortunate to see it, and it turns out to be like this. ”
Shi Liya replied: "Yes, in ancient times, the Tiger Fu was a trustworthy way to mobilize the army, and it had supreme authority. The famous tiger talisman incident in history, in addition to Xinling Jun stealing the tiger talisman to encircle Wei to save Zhao, there are also Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang also skillfully used the tiger talisman! ”
Zhao Wan'er looked very excited, and urged: "Sister Shi, don't sell Guanzi, tell me the story of how Zhuge Liang used the Tiger Talisman." ”
Shi Liya took Zhao Wan'er's hand and said with a smile: "Cao Cao was attacked by the Sun and Liu coalition forces in Chibi, and the army was defeated and retreated. Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang took advantage of the emptiness of Nanjun and ordered Changshan Zhao Zilong to lead his troops to capture the city successfully, and captured Chen Jiao, the defender of Nanjun, and obtained the tiger talisman of Nanjun Taishou. ”
Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang's plan, and used this tiger charm to trick the defenders of Jingzhou to rescue Nanjun, and took advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou by Zhang Fei. Then use the same method to transfer out the defenders of Xiangyang, and take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang by Guan Yu. ”
"Zhuge Liang only relied on a small tiger talisman to transfer Cao Bing, and the soldiers captured three cities without bloodshed, but Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu, who spent a lot of money, food, soldiers and horses, got nothing, how can he not be angry? It can also be seen that the role of the tiger talisman was great at that time. ”
When everyone heard this, they were greatly amazed, and they couldn't help but be fascinated by the wisdom of Zhuge Liang, a genius in the world who knew astronomy and geography described in the Three Kingdoms.
Li Bing asked puzzledly: "Sister Shi, since it is a tiger talisman, why is it not in the shape of a tiger, but in the shape of a half fish?" ”
Shi Liya said proudly: "Li Bing, I knew that you were confused about this. That's right, the tiger talisman was originally made in the shape of a tiger, because it was used to transfer troops, and the tiger shape was used to represent the might of the army. ”
"Do you know Li Hu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history?" , Shi Liya said, her eyes winked playfully at Li Bing.
Li Bing shook his head and said, "Sister Shi, I really don't know about this. After all, I originally studied computer science, although I later changed to archaeology, but unfortunately, before I finished my studies, I let Wan'er find it. Hey, my studies are all wasted. ”
Zhao Wan'er's eyes widened: "Li Bing, do you regret it?" Then you can go back to Nanjing University to study for your graduate school now, huh! ”
Li Bing said with a hippie smile: "There's no way, if you get on the thief ship, you won't be able to get off for a while." Wan'er, don't be angry, I'm kidding you! ”
Zhao Wan'er snorted, raised her head, ignored Li Bing, and said to Shi Liya: "Sister Shi, tell me what kind of person this Li Hu is, right?" ”
Shi Liya said fascinatedly: "Speaking of this Li Hu, that is a great character. At that time, people said that Li Hu was a fierce beast, which originated from the story of Li Hu capturing a leopard. Li Hu often accompanied Xiazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wentai to review the army at the foot of the North Mountain, and people were often eaten by leopards here, and no one dared to come forward to rescue them. Once another leopard injured someone, and was touched by Li Hu, he immediately rushed over with a big stick and caught the leopard and killed it, except for this harm. Yuwentai happily praised after knowing it: The name of the public is Tiger, and it really deserves its name. ”
"Li Hu was suave and ambitious when he was young, he liked to read but was not good at memorizing chapters and sentences, and preferred to ride horses and shoot arrows and make friends. Because his family background is not bad, he is also very open to things outside the body of money, and he is willing to give, and having this quality is a talent that can be created in this troubled era at that time. Later, he became one of the world-famous generals of the Eight Pillar States of the Western Wei Dynasty. ”
Li Bingqi said: "Sister Shi, why are characters like Li Hu rarely mentioned in history?" To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of it today. ”
Shi Liya said: "Li Hu's official is getting bigger and bigger, and finally he is one of the three princes. After the son of Xiazhou assassin Shi Yuwentai established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although Li Hu was dead, he was still listed as the first hero of the founding of the country and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Tang. His son is Li Xun, the general of the Northern Zhou Hussars, his grandson is Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his great-grandson is of course Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is respected as the 'Heavenly Khan'. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor posthumously named Li Hu as Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhao Wan'er suddenly realized at this time, and sighed: "So that's the case, this Li Hu seems to be really a hero." Li Bing, also surnamed Li, you are less than one ten-thousandth of Li Hu. ”
Li Bing said happily: "Of course, how dare I compare with Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty?" Sister Shi, you haven't said why there are few records of Li Hu in historical materials. ”
Shi Liya said: "Don't you know? Emperors of all dynasties have been particular about evasion. The entire Tang Dynasty avoided talking about the tiger character because of Li Hu's relationship. During the Tang Dynasty, everyone talked about the change of color of the tiger, not that the people of the Tang Dynasty were timid and afraid of the tiger, but they did not dare to say the word 'tiger', which was evasive. If someone is bold and reckless and says the word 'tiger', it will bring about a catastrophe, and in serious cases, it may involve the nine tribes. ”
"The people of the Tang Dynasty avoided saying 'tiger', so the people of the Tang Dynasty did not call the tiger when they saw it, but called it a big worm. The tiger was also called a big insect during the Tang Dynasty, and it was called for 300 years. If you have to say the word 'tiger', it will be replaced by a similar homonym. ”
Shi Liya suddenly snorted and said, "Even the origin of the word 'toilet' has a relationship with Li Hu. In ancient China, the night pot was originally called 'Huzi'. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid Li Hu's name, 'Huzi' was renamed 'Mazi', and Mazi was later renamed 'Toilet' to this day. ”
