Idiom story

The 60th chapter of the romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong of Ming Dynasty: "but it is said that the one who entered into the plan of Liu Zhang was Yizhou Biejia, surnamed Zhang, named song, with the word Yongnian. In his life, he had a sharp forehead, a stiff nose, exposed teeth, and a short body less than five feet. Liu Zhang asked, "what's your opinion on driving? Can you solve Zhang Lu's danger?" Song said, "when I heard that Cao Cao, the capital of Xu, swept the Central Plains, Lu Bu and ER yuan were all destroyed. Recently, Ma Chao was defeated. He was invincible in the world. The Lord could prepare something to offer. Song himself went to Xudu and said that Cao Cao would take Hanzhong and Zhanglu. Then Lu had no time to resist the enemy. How dare he see Shu again? " Liu Zhang was overjoyed and sent Zhang song as his envoy to collect Jinzhu and Jinqi. SONGNAI secretly painted the geographical map of Xichuan. He took the number of people to ride to Xudu. It has been reported to Jingzhou for a long time. Kongming then sent people to Xudu to inquire for information. But he said that Zhang Song lived in xuduguan post and went to the prime minister's residence every day to see Cao Cao. It turned out that Cao Cao had broken Ma Chao's back, and was proud of his ambition. He drank and dined every day, and had nothing to do. Zhang Song waited for three days to get his name. The left and right attendants first bribed, but then introduced. When Cao sat in the hall and finished his song worship, he asked, "your Lord Liu Zhang has not paid tribute for years. Why?" Pine said: "for the road is difficult, thieves steal, can not access." Cao chide said: "I clean up the Central Plains, what thieves?" Song said, "Sun Quan in the south, Zhang Lu in the north, Liu Bei in the west, and at least a hundred thousand. Is it too peaceful?" Zhang song, the forerunner of the opera, was obscene and disliked. Hearing the language collision, he rose up and turned to the back hall. Zuo zuozong said, "why don't you know the etiquette and just collide for your mission? Fortunately, the prime minister saw that you had come far away and did not see the blame. Go back in a hurry Song said with a smile, "there is no one in my Sichuan who is a sycophant." All of a sudden, the next person drank and said, "you can't flatter in Sichuan. Is there any flatterer in the Central Plains?" Songguan is a man with a single eyebrow and thin eyes. His name is Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yang Biao, whose name is dezu. Now he is the chief librarian of the prime minister's family. This man is knowledgeable, eloquent and intelligent. Song Zhixiu is a debater. He has a hard heart. Xiuyi also belittles the people in the world by relying on his talent. At that time, seeing Zhang Song's sarcasm, he invited him out of the academy and sat down with the guests and the hosts. He said, "the road of Shu is rugged, and it's hard work from afar." Pine said: "by the Lord's command, although go through fire and water, Fu dares to say goodbye." Xiu asked, "what is the wind like in Shu?" Song said: "Shu is the West County, which was called Yizhou in ancient times. The road is as dangerous as the Jinjiang River, and the land is as powerful as the sword Pavilion. It's two hundred and eight miles back, more than 30000 miles across. The crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs are heard, and there is no end to the market. The country is rich and the people are rich, and the orchestra is happy. The products are like mountain deposits. It's out of the reach of the world! " Xiu then asked, "what are the characters in Shu?" Song said: "there are Fu of Xiangru in literature, talent of Fubo in martial arts, ability of Zhongjing in medicine, and concealment of Junping in divination. There are so many different kinds of religions. If you can't remember them well, how can you count them all! " Xiu then asked, "how many people are under Liu Jiyu's hands, such as the Duke?" Song said: "a man of all abilities, wisdom and courage, loyalty and generosity, moves with hundreds. If you are not a talented person, you will never win. " Xiu said, "what's the position of Gong Jin?" Song said, "it's very incompetent to take the responsibility of driving other people's cars indiscriminately. Who is the official of the imperial court Xiuyue said, "it is now the official directory of the prime minister's office." Song said, "I've heard that the Lord has been wearing a tassel for generations. Why don't you stand in the temple and assist the emperor, just as an official of the prime minister's office?" When Yang Xiu heard the speech, he was full of shame and said, "although a certain man lives in Xialiao, the prime minister has entrusted him with military and political money and food. Sooner or later, he has been taught by the prime minister, and he has great development, so he has this job." Song said with a smile, "Song heard that Prime Minister Cao Wen didn't know the way of Confucius and Mencius. He didn't have the opportunity of sun and Wu. He was a powerful and powerful man, and he was in a big position. Can an Neng teach him something to open up the public?" Xiu said, "if the public lives in the border, does an know that the prime minister is talented? I'll try to make it public. " Call around in the trunk to take a book, to show Zhang song. Song Guanqi's title is Meng De's new book. From the beginning to the end, I read a total of 13 articles, all of which are about how to use troops. After reading the book, song asked, "why did the Duke write this book?" Xiuyue said: "this is made by the prime minister according to the past and the present, imitating the thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu. Can it be passed on to later generations that the prime minister was deceived by the public Song laughs and says, "this book can also be recited in secret by three foot children in Shu. What is" new book "? This was done by anonymous during the Warring States period. Prime Minister Cao thought he could steal it, so as to hide it from his ears! " Xiu said: "although the secret collection of the prime minister has become a book, it has not been handed down to the world. The public said that children in Shu recite in secret like a stream. How can they deceive each other? " Song said, "if you don't believe me, I will try to recite it." Then he recited the book from beginning to end without any mistakes. Xiuda was shocked and said, "the Duke never forgets. He is a real genius in the world!" There is a poem praising later generations: "strange description is different, pure and lofty, sparse appearance. The language inclines the Three Gorges water, the visual ten line script. The courage is the chief of Western Shu, and the article is full of emptiness. There are more than a hundred schools and scholars at a glance. "
