The story of "Lu wine is thin and surrounded by Handan" tells that Chu Xuanwang met with the guests, and when Lu Gong arrived and the wine ceremony was very weak, Chu Xuanwang was very angry. Gong Gong said that after I was the Duke of Zhou, Xun was in the royal family, so it was impolite and disrespectful to send you wine. You also accused the wine thin, so don't go too far. And then left without saying goodbye.

King Xuan sent his troops to attack Lu with Qi. Liang Huiwang of Qi always wanted to attack Zhao, but he was afraid that Chu would help Zhao. This time, if Chu wanted something, he didn't have to worry about Chu's trouble, so Handan of Zhao became a victim because of Lu's thin wine.

2. Hongmen Banquet

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu each attacked the troops of the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang first defeated Xianyang (the capital of Qin Shihuang), but Liu Bang's troops were not as good as Xiang Yu's. Xiang Yu was furious and sent Dangyang Jun to attack the customs. After Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he arrived at the west of the theater, while Liu Bang stationed troops on the hegemony. Sajima Cao Wushang of Liu Bang sent someone to tell Xiang Yu that Liu Bang was going to be king in Guanzhong. Xiang Yu was even more angry after hearing this, and ordered the soldiers to have a full meal the next morning to defeat Liu Bang's army.

A fierce battle is coming. Liu Bang was surprised when he learned this from Xiang Bo, the father of Xiang Yu's season. Liu Bang respectfully offered Xiang Bo a glass of wine with both hands, wishing Xiang Bo good health and long life, and made an appointment with his in-laws. Liu Bang's affection wooed Xiang Bo, and Xiang Bo promised to intercede in front of Xiang Yu, and asked Liu Bang to come to thank Xiang Yu the next day.

At the hongmen banquet, although there was no lack of delicious food and wine, there were hidden dangers. Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's father, always advocated killing Liu Bang. At the banquet, he repeatedly signaled Xiang Yu to start, but Xiang Yu hesitated and silently refused. Fan Zengzhao invited Xiangzhuang to dance the sword for the banquet, and took the opportunity to kill Liu Bang. In order to protect Liu Bang, Xiang Bo also danced with the sword and covered Liu Bang.

At a critical juncture, Fan Kuai, a subordinate of Liu Bang, broke into the military gate with a sword and a shield, and glared at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu saw that this person was distinguished, so he had to ask who the newcomer was. When he learned that he was Liu Bang's participant, he was ordered to give wine, and Fan Kuai immediately drank it. After Xiang Yu gave a pig's leg, he asked if he could drink again. Fan Kuai said that I would die and not avoid it, and there was nothing worth refusing for a glass of wine.

Fan Kuai also took the opportunity to say a good word about Liu Bang. Xiang Yu was speechless, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to walk away. Zhang Liang, a subordinate of Liu Bang, shirked that Liu Bang was too drunk to come to say goodbye. Now I present a pair of white walls to the king and a pair of jade buckets to the general (Fan Zeng, the father). Please accept it. I don't know the depth of Xiang Yu accepted the white wall, but I was so angry that Fan Zeng smashed the jade bucket with his sword. Later generations referred to the Hongmen banquet as a hidden murder.

3, cooking wine on the hero

This is a story told in the 21st chapter of the famous historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At the end of the eastern Han dynasty, Cao Cao held the emperor to make the weather wait, and his power was great; Although Liu Bei is an uncle, he is weak. In order to prevent Cao Cao from murdering him, he had to grow vegetables in the backyard of his residence and water them himself, thinking that he was hiding his strength. Guan Yunchang and Zhang Feimeng were in the dark, saying that Liu Bei didn't pay attention to world affairs, but learned from villains.

One day, while Liu Bei was watering vegetables, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Liu Bei, and Liu Bei had to go to the house to see Cao Cao with trepidation. Cao Cao quietly said to Liu Bei, "You did a great job at home!" The speaker is interested, but the listener is more concerned. This sentence scared Liu Bei to death, and Cao Cao said that it is not easy for you to learn to grow vegetables, which made Liu Bei feel a little relieved.

Cao Cao said that only when he saw the plums on the branches in the garden were green, he remembered a past event (that is, "looking at the plums to quench his thirst"). Today, when he saw this plum, he couldn't help but admire it, just as the wine was being cooked, so he invited you to the kiosk for a while. Liu Bei was calm after hearing this. With Cao Cao, I came to the kiosk, where I saw that all kinds of wine vessels had been set up and green plums were placed on the plate, so I put the green plums in the wine bottle and cooked the wine. The two of them sat opposite each other and drank heartily.

When the wine was half drunk, suddenly the clouds were overcast and the rain was coming. Cao Cao talked about the dragon's character, and compared the dragon to a contemporary hero. He asked Liu Bei, please tell me who the contemporary hero is. Liu Bei pretended to have no ambition and said a few people, all of which were denied by Cao Cao. Cao Cao was trying to inquire about Liu Bei's inner activities at this moment to see if he wanted to dominate the world, so he said, "A hero is ambitious, has a good plan in his belly, has the opportunity to hide the universe, and can control the aspirations of the world."

Liu Bei asked, who can be a hero? Cao Cao said bluntly: there are only two heroes in the world today, you and me! Hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback, and the chopsticks in his hand unconsciously fell to the ground. It happened that there was a sudden heavy rain and thunder. Liu Bei had a brainwave and quickly bent down to pick up chopsticks, saying that he had dropped them because he was afraid of thunder.

Cao Cao said safely at this time, are men afraid of thunder? Liu Bei said, even saints will be rude to thunder and gale. Can I still be afraid? After such a cover-up, Liu Bei made Cao Cao think that he was a mediocre man with no ambition and cowardice, and Cao Cao never doubted Liu Bei again.

4. The right to release soldiers with a glass of wine

This story tells that Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of the Song Dynasty, wanted to relieve some of his generals of the military power after he took power in one fell swoop after the mutiny in Chen Qiao. So in 19961year, a banquet was arranged, and imperial generals such as Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi were called to drink, so that they could accumulate more money, silks, fields and houses to bequeath their children and grandchildren, and their military power was lifted from then on. In 969, Wang Yanchao, our time envoy, was called for a banquet, and their military power was relieved.

Song Taizu's practice has been followed by his successors since then, mainly to prevent mutiny, but in this way, the soldiers don't know what to do, they don't know what to do, those who can mobilize the army can't directly lead the troops, and those who can directly lead the troops can't mobilize the troops. Although it successfully prevented the coup of the army, it weakened the combat capability of the troops. As a result, the Song Dynasty was defeated again and again in the war with Liao, Jin and Xixia.

5, Qing Sheng Zhuo Xian

When the Three Kingdoms were founded in the early Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao strictly forbade alcohol, so people had to drink in private, but they didn't say anything about alcohol, so they used "sage" as the argot of "white wine" (or "turbid wine") and "sage" as the argot of "sake". Qing xian turbid saint evolved into an allusion.

There is also an idiom "Qingzhou is engaged in plain Du You", which is also the argot of good wine and bad wine. Liu Yiqing, a native of the Southern Dynasties, recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu that one of Huan Wen's assistants was good at distinguishing the quality of wine, and he called good wine "Qingzhou is engaged in". Qingzhou is a place name, and there is a place under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou called Qi County.

"Qi" means "navel", and good wine is called "Qingzhou is engaged in" because after drinking good wine, the alcohol can reach the navel; He called bad wine "Du You in the Plain" because there is a place under the jurisdiction of the Plain called Wei County. "Wei" means "diaphragm", which means that if you drink bad wine, the alcohol can only reach the diaphragm.
