What happened when Zhang Fei played a joke on Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms?

One day, Cao Cao sent a messenger to Liu Bei's camp to write a book. The letter said that the banquet was ready, and Liu Bei was invited to send someone to the banquet to play charades. Zhuge Liang read the letter and said to Liu Bei, "Just send three generals." Liu Bei said, "Third Brother is a reckless man, can he do it?" Zhuge Liang said: "Although the three generals are reckless, they are not without plans. This trip will be a success. "

Zhang Fei followed the messenger to Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao thought it must be Zhuge Liang, or some other counselor, but he didn't expect Zhang Fei to come. Cao Cao asked Zhang Fei to sit in the guest seat, and he himself sat down in the guest seat. As soon as Cao Cao sat down, he made a circle with his hands. Zhang Fei waved and then stretched out his arms.

Cao Cao was secretly surprised, so he held out a finger and Zhang Fei waved again. Cao Cao held out five more fingers, and Zhang Fei waved and held out three more fingers. Cao Cao was surprised and thought that Zhuge Liang must have taught him, so he had to politely send Zhang Fei out of the account.

When Zhang Fei returned to the camp, Liu Bei asked, "What's the matter, Third Brother?" Zhang Fei said angrily, "Don't mention it! Although the old thief is the prime minister, he is a cheapskate! " Zhuge Liang asked, "General San, where is the old thief's meanness?" Zhang Fei said, "The old thief first made a circle with his hand and asked me to eat pot stickers. No, what's the point of pot stickers? "

If I want to eat Lamian Noodles, I just wave my hand to show that I won't do it, and then I stretch my arms horizontally, which compares me to Lamian Noodles. The old thief stretched out a finger and said that as long as I ate a bowl. How to do this? I waved and said I wouldn't do it. The old thief held out five more fingers, indicating that I could eat five bowls, and five bowls would not fill my stomach.

I waved again and said I wouldn't do it. Then I held out three fingers and asked him to cook at least three pots. The old thief had to admit defeat and suffered a dumb loss. "

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "That's because the three generals misunderstood the riddle of the old thief, and the old thief also misunderstood the riddle of the three generals, so the three generals beat the old thief by playing riddles. "

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was anxious. He said, "Lawyer, let's make a bet. If you can make it clear, I'll fine three glasses of wine. If you can't tell clearly, you will be fined three glasses of wine. "

Zhuge Liang said, "All three generals will lose this bet. I think that old thief, as the prime minister, is rich, and there are thousands of people who eat like General San, so he can afford it. How did he argue with you at dinner? He compared his hands to a circle, saying that he wanted to unify the Central Plains, but you thought he would let you eat pot cakes, and his arms stretched out horizontally, which was compared to a gesture of Lamian Noodles, but he thought it was: If you want to unify the Central Plains, see if I bully the snake spear to promise or not.

He held out a finger and said that as a prime minister, he could hold the son of heaven to make princes. You think he only let you eat a bowl and waved his hand to show that he wouldn't do it, but he thinks it's nothing but being a prime minister.

He held out five fingers, meaning that he had five generals, namely Chu Xu, Xia Houdun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Yu Jin. If you don't obey, see you on the battlefield. You think he let you eat five bowls, waved his hand and said no, and then stretched out three fingers to let him cook three pots, but he thought it was: You five generals are vulnerable, how can you die in Taoyuan with my three brothers? An old thief can only admit defeat and suffer dumb losses. "

Zhang Fei said, "The military adviser has a clever plan. I am impressed! " Say that finish three glasses of wine in a row.

Zhang Fei anecdote:

1, Liu Ba despised

Zhang Fei once stayed with Liu Ba, but Liu Ba ignored Zhang Fei, which made Zhang Fei very angry. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Ba, "Although Zhang Fei is a martial man, I admire you very much. God justly summoned talents with both civil and military skills to accomplish a great cause. Sir, although you are lofty by nature, you should keep a low profile. "

Liu Ba replied: "A man is a gentleman, a hero in the world, how can you teach me to talk to warriors?" Liu Bei was very angry after hearing this.

Zhang Zhao of Soochow also talked to Sun Quan about this matter. Zhang Zhao thinks that Liu Ba is too narrow-minded and should not resist Zhang Fei so much. Sun Quan said, "If Wei Liu is allowed to please Liu Bei and rise and fall with the world, and become friends with Zhang Fei, how can he be called a scholar?

2. Break the bridge by water

In 208 AD (13th year of Jian 'an), Cao Cao sent his troops south, Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong surrendered. Liu Bei learned that he fled south, and hundreds of thousands of people followed him. Cao Cao sent Cao Chun to lead Butch to chase after a day and a night, and caught up with Liu Bei in Dangyang Changban. Liu Beijun was defeated, and only led Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to ride away. Cao Cao got a huge reward.

In a panic, Zhao Yun disappeared again. Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to inspect the rear. Zhang Fei called more than 20 people to ride the Dangyang Bridge, and Cao Jun and the crowd arrived. Zhang Fei broke the bridge by water.

Cao Cao Jun was afraid of Zhang Fei's bravery. Although few people saw Zhang Fei, no one dared to go, so Liu Beijun was safe. Then Zhao Yun saved Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Gan, and his son and joined Liu Bei. At this time, Guan Yu came from the waterway to help, and Zhang Fei and Liu Bei went to Jiangxia.

After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei lent Zhang Fei to Zhou Yu to attack Nanjun. After a year of siege, Coss, commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, escaped. After Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, he appointed Zhang Fei as the prefect, recruited generals, sealed a new pavilion, and then transferred to Nanjun.
