I want to know some modern stories related to some idioms. Thank you.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Zhong Er. When Zhong Er heard the news, he fled the State of Jin and forgot about it for more than ten years.

After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with state gifts and regarded him as a distinguished guest.

One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er, and the two chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful women are waiting for you, precious silk, and you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather, and even more in Chu. What rare items does Jin Wang have? " The king of Chu said, "Your son is too modest. Having said that, you should show me something? " Zhong Er replied with a smile, "Thanks to you. If I can really return to China to be in power, I would like to get along well with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. "

Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule.

In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu.

Quench thirst by thinking of plum-masturbating with illusory hope

One summer, Cao Cao led his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. The weather is unusually hot, the sun is like fire, and there is not a cloud in the sky. The troops walked on the winding mountain road, and the dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked, the marching speed slowed down, and several weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road.

Cao Cao was worried that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and that the fighter plane would be delayed. However, at present, tens of thousands of people can't even drink water. How can we speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly, "Is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It's a long detour. " Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a moment, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at the moment, it would not help. A brainwave, the solution came. He grabbed the horse by the stomach and quickly rushed to the front of the team. Pointing at the front with a whip, he said, "Soldiers, I know there is a large area of Merlin in front, where the plums are big and delicious. Let's hurry around this hill and get to Meilin! " Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to eat it in their mouths, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and their pace could not help but accelerate a lot.

Every bush and every tree seems to be enemies-in a state of extreme panic.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian, king of Qin, took control of northern China. In 383 AD, Fu Jian led 900,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the rulers in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan led eighty thousand troops to resist. Fu Jian learned that 8 jin j strength is insufficient, just want to seize the opportunity, quick attack.

Unexpectedly, 250,000 vanguard troops in Fu Jian were unexpectedly defeated by 8 Jin Army in Shouchun, and suffered heavy losses. The general was killed and more than ten thousand soldiers were killed or injured. Qin Jun's spirit fell sharply, his morale was shaken, and the soldiers fled in panic. At this point, Fu Jian saw the 8 jin j in Shouchun city, and his fighting spirit was high. Then he looked at Bagong Mountain in the north, and saw that every grass and tree on the mountain looked like nomads from the army. Fu Jian turned to his younger brother and said, "What a powerful enemy this is! How can we say that the 8 Jin Army is insufficient? " He regretted underestimating his enemy.

The bad start cast an ominous shadow on Fu Jian's mind, and he made his troops deploy on the north bank of Feishui in an attempt to turn the tide by virtue of geographical advantages. At this time, Xie Xuan, the general of the Jin army, told Qin Jun to step back a little and make way for a river. Fu Jian did Sarah laugh. The general of the Jin army didn't know the common sense of fighting. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army was busy crossing the river and it was difficult to fight, so he gave it a surprise attack, so he readily accepted the request of the Jin army.

Who knows, when the military order to retreat came out, it fled like a flood, while the Jin army tried to cross the river in pursuit, abandoned its helmet and abandoned its armor, and the bodies were everywhere. Fu Jian fled with an arrow.

Legend has it that two thousand years ago, there was a teenager in Shouling, Yan State. If you don't know his last name, just call him Shouling Youth!

This young Shouling is not worried about food and clothing, and he is a medium-sized talent in appearance, but he lacks self-confidence. He often feels that he is nothing like others for no reason-good clothes, delicious food and elegant standing and sitting. He learns what he sees and loses what he learns. Although he has a new look, he still can't do one thing well. He doesn't know what he should look like.

His family advised him to change this problem, which he thought was because his family cared too much. Relatives and neighbors said he was a bear breaking a stick, but he didn't listen at all. Over time, he doubted whether he should walk like this, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his walking posture was too stupid and ugly.

One day, he met several people talking and laughing on the road, only to hear someone say that the walking posture of Handan people is beautiful. As soon as he heard this, he had a heart attack and hurried forward to find out. Unexpectedly, the men saw him and walked away with a smile.

How beautiful is the walking posture of Handan people? He can't imagine. This has become his heart disease. Finally, one day, he went to Handan, a distant place, to learn to walk without telling his family.

When I arrived in Handan, I felt fresh and dazzling everywhere. Seeing children walking, he feels lively, beautiful and academic; Seeing the old man walking, he felt steady and learned; Watch women walk, sway and learn. In this way, after only half a month, he couldn't even walk, and his travel expenses were spent, so he had to climb back.

After reading it, the prince of Wu said, "I have read all your thirteen articles on the art of war. Do you want to try my army? " Sun Wu agreed.

With. The king of Wu asked again, "Is it okay to do experiments with women?" Sun Wu also said yes. So the king of Wu called one hundred and eighty Gong Zhongmei.

Female, please ask Sun Wu to train.

Sun Wu divided them into two teams, with two ladies-in-waiting who were favored by the prince of Wu as captains and told them to each take a halberd. group

After Wu stood still, Sun Wu asked, "Do you know how to turn forward, backward, left and right?" The female soldiers said, "I see.

Tao. Sun Wu said, "I look forward to my heart; Look at my left hand to the left; Look right at my right hand; Look back at my back.

After that. "The female soldier said," I see. " So Sun Wu's mission moved out of Tieyue for three transgressions and five times.

They applied for discipline. Then he beat the drum and gave the order to turn right. How do you know that the female soldiers not only don't follow orders, but laugh.

When Sun Wu saw it, he said, "I can't explain it clearly. It should be the fault of the generals. " So he said what he just said in detail.

Explain it to them again. Then beat the drum and give the order to turn left. The female soldiers still just laughed.

Sun Wu said, "It's the general's fault that the explanation is unclear. Since he made it clear that he didn't listen to orders, that was the captain.

And the fault of the soldiers. "Say that finish life around the entourage beheaded the two captains. When the prince of Wu saw that Sun Wu wanted to cut off his love, he urged him.

Someone sent someone to intercede with Sun Wu, but Sun Wu said, "Since I was appointed as a general, I am in the army, and your life will not be affected!" toe the line

Two female captains will be beheaded, and then two leaders will be appointed as captains. Since then, all female soldiers have been back and forth, left and right.

Even the complicated movement of kneeling and standing up is practiced seriously, and I dare not play anymore.

This story originated from The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi in Historical Records. Later; People put Sun's repeated explanations to female soldiers,

It is extended to "three orders and five applications", which means repeatedly warning people. For example, a local government has repeatedly warned food stores to pay attention to food.

Three people spread the news of a tiger, making you believe that there is a tiger around.

During the Warring States period, when attacking each other, in order to make everyone really keep their promises, countries generally gave their princes to each other.

As hostages. The Warring States Policy; "Wei Ce" has this record:

Pang Cong, minister of Wei, will accompany Wang Wei to Zhao as a hostage. Before he left, he said to Wang Wei:

"Now there is a person who says there are tigers in the market. Can you believe it? "

Wei Wangdao: "I don't believe it."

Pang Cong said, "If a second person says there are tigers in the market, can your majesty believe it?"

Wei Wangdao: "I have some doubts."

Pang cong added, "if a third person says there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe it?"

Wei Wangdao: "Of course I will believe it."

Pang Cong said: "It is clear that there will be no tigers in the market, but after three people said it, it seems that there really are."

I killed a tiger. Now Handan, the capital of Zhao, is far away from the beam of Wei, much farther than the market here, and more than one person is talking about me.

Three. I hope your majesty can see it clearly. "

Wei Wangdao: "I know everything myself."

Pang Cong accompanied the prince back to China, but Wang Wei didn't summon him again.

Cities are places where population is concentrated. Of course there will be no tigers. It is obviously a rumor and deception to say that there are tigers in the market, but many people do.

To put it bluntly, if you don't look at the problem from the point of view, you will often believe it.

This story was originally intended to satirize Wei Huiwang's ignorance. Later, the world extended this story to the idiom "Three people make a tiger", which is

This is a borrowed metaphor. Sometimes rumors can cover up the truth For example, to judge the truth of a matter, we must go through careful investigation.

And thinking, not hearsay. Otherwise, "three men make a tiger" will sometimes mistake rumors for truth.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao led dozens of people to the Western Regions because of the dispatch of Ming Di, and made many contributions. However, Ban Chao, who has lived in the Western Regions for 27 years, is old and in poor health, and wants to go home very much. So he wrote a letter asking his son to send it back to the Han Dynasty, asking the emperor to bring him back, but Ban Chao never received a reply. So, his sister Ban Zhao wrote to the emperor again, explaining what her brother meant.

There are a few words in the letter: "Ban Chao is the oldest person who went to the Western Regions with him. Now he is over 60 years old, frail, with gray hair, inflexible hands, hard to hear clearly, and his eyes are no longer as bright as before. He had to walk on crutches. If riots break out suddenly, I'm afraid Ban Chao can't work hard for the country according to his own mind. In this way, it will damage the achievements of the state in governing the frontier, and it will destroy the hard-won achievements of the loyal ministers, which makes people feel sad. " Han and Emperor were moved and immediately ordered Ban Chao to be transferred back to the Han Dynasty.
