throw the helve after the hatchet

Allusion: at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the three kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, Sun Quan wanted to take back Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu offered a plan to "recruit relatives and take hostages under false pretences.". Zhuge Liang saw through and arranged for Zhao Yun to accompany him. He first called on Zhou Yu's father-in-law, Duke Qiao, who urged Wu Guotai to meet him at Ganlu temple. Wu Guotai really married sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were ridiculed as "Zhou Lang's clever plan to settle the world, but he lost his wife and turned into soldiers.". (in real history, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei for political reasons)

Idioms and allusions

(from the romance of the Three Kingdoms, not the official history) during the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou was located between Xichuan and Dongwu, which was an important place for military strategists. At the beginning, when Liu Bei was in distress, he borrowed Jingzhou from Soochow to live and recuperate. After a little recovery, Soochow repeatedly asked for Jingzhou. Of course, Liu Bei would not give up his only foothold, but also pushed and delayed for various reasons. Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, was very angry and wanted to take back Jingzhou. One day, hearing about the new funeral of Mrs. Liu Bei, Zhou Yu immediately had a plan in mind and said to Lu Su, the great general of Soochow: "I have a plan! I will make Liu Bei give Jingzhou back honestly! " Lu Su asked, "what's the plan?" "If Liu Bei loses his wife, he will continue to marry. I know the Lord has a sister, Gangwu Yinghao. But in the name of recruiting a son-in-law, he cheated Liu Bei into marrying in the eastern Wu Dynasty. Once he came, he was put in a cell. Send someone to Jingzhou for Liu Bei. They must return to Jingzhou. After that, it's up to us to decide whether to let go or not, whether to kill or not. " Lu Su thought the plan was very good and agreed with it, so he said it to Sun Quan, the leader of the eastern Wu Dynasty, and Sun Quan agreed with it. So he sent his minister LV fan to Jingzhou as a matchmaker and said: "recently, Mrs. Liu Bei died of illness. I have a younger sister who wants to recruit Liu Bei as her son-in-law. He was married forever and broke Cao together to support the Han Dynasty. I think it's best for you to talk about matchmaking. Please come along! " LV fan took the order and came to Jingzhou as a matchmaker. Besides, Liu Bei, who lost his wife in middle age, was very upset and sad. This day, I was chatting with Zhuge Kongming to relieve my boredom. Suddenly, I reported that the Soochow sent LV fan. Kong Ming said with a smile, "it must be Zhou Yu who wants Jingzhou. What's his plan. I'll hide behind the tent. No matter what Lu fan says, you promise to come down. Then we'll discuss the countermeasures. " Liu Bei then met Lu Fan. Lu Fan first expressed his sympathy to Liu Bei, and then made it clear: "a man without a wife is like a house without a beam. So I don't want to avoid suspicion, so I'm here as a matchmaker. " Then, I would like to talk about the recruitment of Liu Bei as my son-in-law and its political and military significance to Liu and sun. Finally, she said, "because Mrs. Wu loves her youngest daughter so much that she doesn't want to marry far away, so she asked Uncle Huang to go to Dongwu for a wedding." Do you know about this Asked Liu Bei. Lu Fan said with a smile, "how dare you say such a thing casually without the prior consent of marquis Wu?" Liu Bei declined on the grounds of age difference. However, LV fan was a very competent matchmaker who was enthusiastic about matchmaking and repeatedly persuaded him. In the end, Liu Bei had no reason to refuse, so he said, "please stay first. I'll tell you the final decision tomorrow." In the evening, Liu Bei discussed the matter with Kong. Kongming was very happy and urged Liu Bei to agree to the marriage. He immediately sent sun Qian and LV fan to see Sun Quan, and agreed to marry him in Soochow. Liu Bei is not a mediocre person. Therefore, he looked at Kong Ming puzzledly and said, "this must be Zhou Yu's plan. How can I enter the tiger's den rashly?" Kong Ming said with a smile: "although Zhou Yu can use the stratagem, how can it be beyond my expectation?"?! Don't worry, my Lord. I'll make a small plan to keep Zhou Yu at a loss. Sun Quan's younger sister will become my Lord's wife, and Jingzhou will be safe! " Although Liu Bei believed in Kong Ming's clever plan, he still doubted the danger of entering the tiger's cave alone and hesitated. Kong Ming said, "I've made three brilliant plans. If I let Zhao Zilong cross the river again, there will be no mistake." Then he found Zhao Yun, arranged the task, and gave him three brocade bags: "you can follow the plan of these three brocade bags one by one if you want to ensure your Lord to enter Wu." Therefore, in October of the 14th year of Jian'an (209 AD), Liu Bei, accompanied by Zhao Yun and sun Qian, entered the state of Wu. As soon as he arrived at Nanxu, the first city in Wujing, Zhao Yun opened the first brocade bag according to Kongming's instructions. After seeing this, he ordered the 500 soldiers to go to the market one by one in red and green to buy all kinds of wedding things. At the same time, he publicized the news that uncle Liu was going to marry Princess sun. At that time, the happy news spread to all parts of the state of Wu. Zhao Yun prepared rich gifts on behalf of Liu Bei and taught Liu Bei to take the initiative to visit Qiao Guolao. Qiao Guolao is a very important person in Wu state. His two daughters, one married sun CE, Sun Quan's elder brother, and the other married Zhou Yu. His two sons in law, one was the founder of the state of Wu, and the other was the commander in chief. From this we can see that Qiao Guolao's "spot" is coming! Liu Bei's visit made elder Qiao happy, but he was annoyed that he had not been told of such a big event. After seeing Liu Bei off, he rushed to the capital from South Xuzhou to see Sun Quan's mother, Wu Guotai. As soon as you enter the door, you will greet the state of Wu angrily. "What's the happy event?" she said He said, "it's all over the country. Your son-in-law has come to our door. Why do you want to hide it from me?" Guotai was shocked: "how could this happen?" He sent someone to ask Sun Quan and sent someone to the city to inquire. The man who was sent to the city to inquire first came back and reported, "it's true. The son-in-law has settled down in the post house. Five hundred accompanying soldiers are buying pig and sheep fruits in the city, ready to get married. The matchmaker is Lu Fan and the man is sun Qian. " When she heard this, she burst into tears. At this time, Sun Quan came to see his mother. Guo Tai angrily asked: "do you still have me in your heart?"?! My daughter was born and raised by me. Why do you keep such a big thing from me when you recruit Liu Bei as your son-in-law? " Sun Quan was surprised that his mother knew about it. As a last resort, he told the Empress Dowager the truth: it was just a stratagem to deceive Liu Bei to Soochow, so as to coerce and return Jingzhou. I don't really want to marry my sister to Liu Bei. As soon as she heard this, she became even more angry and scolded Zhou Yu, saying, "you are the governor of six prefectures and 81 prefectures. How can you be so worthless?"?! I don't have the ability to take Jingzhou, but I use my daughter's name to trick the beauties! If you kill Liu Bei, my daughter is a widow. How can she marry again? " Then he angrily denounced Sun Quan: "you guys who have no ability do good deeds!" Sun Quan is always filial to his mother, but now he can only be silent. Qiao Guolao also said: "even if you take Jingzhou by this way, you will be ridiculed by people all over the world. How can this work? " Sun Quan was ashamed. Qiao Guolao went on: "now that the matter has come to this point, we can only recruit Liu Bei as our son-in-law, so as not to make a fool of ourselves." Sun Quan quickly objected: "I'm afraid two ages are not equal." Qiao Guolao had a good feeling for Liu Bei, so he argued: "Liu Bei is the great uncle of the Han Dynasty. Why can't he be a hero today?" "I'll see Liu Bei first tomorrow," she said. If he doesn't like me, it's up to you. If you agree with me, I will marry my daughter to him! " Sun Quan had no choice but to agree. But in advance, he laid an ambush at the meeting place. Once Guotai was not satisfied with Liu Bei, he immediately took him. Unexpectedly, the next day at Ganlu temple, Wu Guotai was very fond of Liu Bei, who was well-dressed and handsome. She praised Qiao Guolao: "this is really a man worthy of being my son-in-law!" Qiao Guolao praised Liu Bei's character and talent. So the imperial court decided to choose the right date for marriage. Sun Quan bitterly, only let the country too. After Liu Bei returned to the post house, sun Qian asked him to see Qiao Guolao immediately and ask him to get married as soon as possible, because there were many people in Soochow who wanted to harm Liu Bei. Qiao Guolao meets Wu Guotai again, Guotai is very angry: "my son-in-law, who dares to kill?" He ordered Liu Bei to move into the palace and live beside him, and agreed that the 500 soldiers led by Zhao Yun would also accompany him. then, the queen mother held a grand wedding for Liu Bei and her daughter. When Zhou Yu heard about this, he was very upset. He also wanted Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest in the palace to provide royal cuisine and music singers, in an attempt to soften Liu Bei's ambition and make him greedy for pleasure instead of going back to Jingzhou. Then, he waited for an opportunity to stir up the relationship between him and Guan Zhang and alienate his feelings with Zhuge Liang. In the end, Jingzhou was recaptured. In short, Liu Bei must not run back! So Sun Quan went according to his plan: to build a luxurious palace to live with Liu Bei and his wife; flowers and plants to play with, all of which are beautiful and rare; singing girl and musician, Chang Jun, is the best choice for color art; as for gold and jade, chariot and horse clothing, they have all kinds of things. Liu Bei, who had been working in the battlefield for many years, suddenly entered a state of gentleness and wealth. He was really happy to forget to return and indulged in wine and sex. When Zhao Yun saw this, he was very worried. According to Kong Ming, the second brocade bag was opened at the end of the year. After he saw it, he came to Zhengting in a hurry
