Historical allusions

Zhang Liao Weizhen Xiaoyaojin

In the third century AD, Wei, Shu and Wu were at the same time. Hefei was under the jurisdiction of Wei. It was the throat of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and a military important place. Sun Quan and Cao Cao fought for Hefei for 60 years. The most famous one was in 215 A.D. in the 20th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's expeditions to Zhanglu in the central Han Dynasty and Hefei's emptiness, and personally led 100000 powerful troops to attack Hefei. Zhang Liao, a Wei general guarding Hefei, braved the danger and led his soldiers to fight against the enemy. In this battle, the elite of the east Wu were all out, and 100000 troops were defeated by Zhang Liao's 7000 garrison. Even Sun Quan himself was almost captured by Cao's army. Fortunately, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others fought hard to escape.

Sun Quan out of danger

Sun Quan was defeated and surrounded by Zhang Liao. Under the protection of his cronies, Sun Quan fought to the death. In a hurry, he fled to a small stone bridge, and the bridge slab had been demolished by Zhang Liao's subordinates for more than ten feet. When Sun Quan saw that he was in a panic, he had to look up to the sky and sigh, "I will die when the sky is gone.". It happened that ya rushed to Guli and asked Sun Quan to back the horse a few feet. Then he whipped it on the back of the horse. Sun Quan rode over the small stone bridge and got out of danger. Leaving behind the poem "step back and ride with the whip, and fly with the jade dragon on the Xiaoyaojin", later generations call this xiaoyaoqiao feiqiqiao.
