Idiom stories about Ho Choi

attack sb both in front and in rear

This word usually means to be attacked by the enemy. From "Cui Haochuan of Shu Wei", "When Xi entered Hangu Pass, he was in a bad position and was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis; I went ashore in the north, and Yao Jun won't go out to help me. " In August of 4 16 AD, Emperor Wu of Jin crusaded against Yao Hong, the emperor of the later Qin Dynasty, and went hand in hand with land and water. 8 jin j in full swing, at the end of the qin dynasty losing ground. In the second year, Emperor Wu of Song led the water army along the Huaihe River and Surabaya to the north, preparing for the western expedition to the Yellow River. In order to enter Guanzhong smoothly, Emperor Wu of Song sent someone to borrow money from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Tuoba Si of the Northern Wei Dynasty called all the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and officials of the Qing Dynasty rose up and opposed it. They thought that if Emperor Liu Yu really communicated with the valley by way of communication, there would be cliffs and dangerous peaks and rocks everywhere on both sides of the road, and the Jin Army would be caught between the late Qin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it would be between Scylla and Charybdis. According to this inference, emperor Wu of song must have invaded Wei in the name of taking the road, and should immediately send troops to stop 8 Jin J. At that time, only Dr. Ho Choi stood up against it, and he analyzed the situation from both sides. First of all, from the perspective of the state of Jin, Sima Xiuzhi, the imperial clan of the Jin Dynasty, disturbed Jingzhou and fled to the later Qin Dynasty. Emperor Wu hated his guts. Now that the Emperor of the Later Qin Dynasty has just died, it is very likely that Emperor Wudi took the opportunity to make a crusade. If the Northern Wei Dynasty blocked his way to the west, Emperor Wu of Song would surely go ashore and invade the north. If so, it would be all right for the later Qin dynasty, and it was our northern Wei dynasty that suffered. On the other hand, from the inside of Wei, it constantly invaded the north. If troops are sent to the south, the north will attack; If we send troops to save the North, the East will face the danger of Yan's invasion. Being attacked from so many sides, coupled with the lack of domestic food, it is not appropriate to send troops. Why don't we borrow Emperor Wu of Song and let him enter the customs, and then we'll block his way back. After the fighting between the two armies in Qin Jin, we will benefit from the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is the best policy.

Unfortunately, Ming finally decided to listen to public opinion and sent Situ Song to lead 100,000 troops to meet the enemy and fight in Bincheng. Emperor Wu of Song's March was blocked, and General Zhu Chaoshi was sent to form a "Moon Array" with chariots, crossbows and spears. Wei Jun was defeated. Tuoba Siwen saw Wei Jun's fiasco and regretted not listening to Ho Choi's advice. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't win this battle, it reflected Ho Choi's outstanding military talent, resourcefulness and decisiveness, and he was worthy of the reputation of "the first-class strategist in the Northern and Southern Dynasties".

Idiom stories about Ho Choi

Fame spreads everywhere, describing it as great.

It is often used to describe that fame has spread all over the country, and it is famous. From Shu Wei Cui Haochuan, "Xi Jin is famous for his wisdom." Here is the story of Ho Choi in the Ming Dynasty who negotiated with Tuoba Si of Yuan Di to establish Chu Jun in order to stabilize the internal affairs of North Korea.

During the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Di was often ill, so it was difficult to deal with state affairs. Several princes were young, and there was no one to preside over the political affairs at the moment, so Cui Hao was invited to discuss countermeasures. Ho Choi first comforted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is still young, and his illness will soon be cured. Just in political affairs, please allow me to speak frankly about some unreasonable things. " The emperor nodded, and Ho Choi continued: "Since the Northern Wei Dynasty flourished, the former dynasty almost perished because of the establishment of the Chu army. Now it is time to set up the Eastern Palace as soon as possible, select wise officials as teachers, and assist the Prince in presiding over political affairs. In this way, even if your majesty lives forever, the monarch of the country will remain, and the people of all ethnic groups will rely on it, the disaster will not grow. I believe that TaBaTao, the eldest prince, is intelligent and gentle. Being a prince is also in line with etiquette and justice. " TaBaSi think Ho Choi said makes sense, soon, namely appointed TaBaTao regent, crown prince in the court, and appointed ChangSunSong, XiJin, Antong, Ho Choi, and QiuDui as right-handed officials, six people * * * as assistant to the prince, and vice-handed officials. Tuoba Si stayed in Nishinomiya, often secretly observing the prince's rule of the country. Although the prince is young, he handles state affairs in an orderly way. Tuoba Si is very happy. He commented on the assistant ministers one by one. When talking about Jin, he said: "Xi Jin is famous for his wisdom." This is the origin of this idiom.

In 423 AD, 165438+ October, TaBaSi died of illness in the West Palace of Pingcheng, and TaBaTao officially acceded to the throne as emperor. Because Tuoba Si had the policy of establishing a prince early, the regime change in the Northern Wei Dynasty was very smooth. After his death, he succeeded in successfully and peacefully succeeding to the throne of Wu Tai in the Ming Dynasty, which provided a good political foundation for social stability, economic development and cultural revival in the north.

Idiom stories about Ho Choi

There is a soldier in his chest.

It mainly refers to the fact that there are millions of soldiers in the chest, which is often compared to the strategy of using soldiers. From "Biography of Cui Haochuan in Shu Wei", "You Cao regards this man as weak, can't bend a bow and hold a spear, and has more soldiers in his chest."

During the decades when Ho Choi participated in the politics of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he made many suggestions and made great achievements, which was highly valued by the emperor. In 427 AD, Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty followed Ho Choi's advice and made an expedition to Fox Xia, which won a great influence on the Western Regions. Many leaders of the Western Region Gaoche Kingdom were looking forward to the wind, and Tuoba Tao gave a banquet to appease them. During the dinner, when Tuoba GUI introduced the ministers of the DPRK, he first introduced Ho Choi. Pointing to Ho Choi, he said to Chief Gao Che, "This is our great Stuart Ho Choi. Although he is thin and weak, his arms have almost no strength to bow and shoot arrows, but his strategy in his chest is better than that of millions of soldiers. Every time I hesitate before going out, it is his advice that makes me make up my mind and win all the time. It is his credit that the Northern Wei Dynasty can have such achievements. " Ho Choi can also bear the supreme praise of "having armor on his chest". From then on, before any military plan that cannot be decided by the imperial court is implemented, Ho Choi will be consulted.

Idiom stories about Ho Choi

Hesitant expression

Wandering back and forth, vacillating, looking around. Describe indecision. From Song Chen Liang's "Sigu Si Ho Choi", "Within a few days, people didn't get together, didn't make a life plan, and looked around, I didn't know it was imperial." In this article, Cat spoke highly of Ho Choi's military talents, and especially pointed out that the strategy of conquering Rouran was particularly surprising.

In 429 AD, in order to get rid of the threat of Rouran and the attack of the South and North in the Southern Song Dynasty, Tuoba Tao planned to attack Rouran. Worried that Song Jun would go north, all the ministers tried to dissuade him, but only Taichang Ho Choi firmly agreed. Ho Choi analyzed that after the death of Emperor Wu of Song, the vitality of the Southern Song Dynasty had not recovered, and it could not pose a threat to Wei. Now, if we want to unify the great cause of the north, we must first deal with Xia Guohe softly. However, Xia Guo's good fortune has come to an end, and Xia Guo's death is only a matter of time. Soft and arrogant, they thought it was far from the Northern Wei Dynasty, so they relaxed their guard. If our army can catch Enemy at the Gates by surprise, it will surely win a great victory! In addition, Ho Choi made a further analysis of Rouran's character, which also played an important role in capturing Rouran. He said that people are soft and selfish. If one person retreats, everyone may run away. In a short time, the defeated enemy had no time to rally, let alone come up with any resistance strategy. Must be wandering, looking for what to do. At this time, our army should pursue while winning. I'm afraid the general won't win if he doesn't go deep ... After Ho Choi's eloquent explanation, he finally completely dispelled Tuoba GUI's doubts and decided to make a big crusade against Rouran.

The expedition, according to Ho Choi's strategy of "surprise, attack by surprise", won a decisive victory, but the main force was defeated and pro-proposal was no longer the main threat of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As Cui Hao feared, when Wei Jun entered Zhuoyushan, he stopped marching for fear of ambush. Soon, Wei Jun moved troops back to Korea. Later, I learned that if we push forward for another two days, the remaining troops will be completely eliminated. Alas, it's too late to regret!

Natural disaster variation

Often refers to disasters and variations that have occurred in heaven and earth. The ancients were superstitious and thought it was a warning from heaven to the rulers. Today generally only refers to natural disasters. From Biography of Cui Haochuan in Shu Wei, "Great changes have taken place in natural disasters since last year, all in Qin Liang". Here is the story of Ho Choi squeezing his way through the crowd, dispelling Tuoba Tao's worries and destroying Beiliang in one fell swoop.

In 439 AD, Tuoba Tao discussed the matter of cutting cool, but his ministers opposed it, especially Li Shun. Li Shun has been to Beiliang 12 times as an envoy, and he knows the situation there like the back of his hand, but this person is greedy for money and is gradually bought by Beiliang Juqu family with a lot of money. Tuoba Tao tried to capture the North many times before, but was dissuaded by Li Shun. But this time, TaBaTao is determined to cut cool. By the way, Li made up a lie that Wei Jun won't stay long because of the lack of water and barren land in the north. Ho Choi refuted Li Shun by quoting the contents recorded in Hanshu Geography, saying that Liangzhou is the richest animal in the world. How can livestock breed without aquatic plants? In addition, the Han dynasty would never build battlements and counties where there were no aquatic plants. Li Shun became angry from embarrassment and said that Ho Choi was not qualified to argue with him until he saw it with his own eyes. Ho Choi was not deceived by his words, and pointed out that Li Shun was insatiable, misunderstood the country, accepted money and bribes, and spoke for Beiliang. Later, Tuoba Tao led an army to crusade against the ancient Tibetan city. As Ho Choi said, there are abundant aquatic plants here, so he hates Li Shun very much, but Li Shun himself has no regrets. Three years later, he took bribes when he was ordered to reward. Tuoba Tao was so angry that he was punished for both crimes and executed Li Shun.

Idiom stories about Ho Choi

Intimate/intimate/intimate friends

Refers to very close or congenial friends. The word "don't rebel" is often used to mean that two people are congenial and have close contacts. From Master Zhuangzi. "Four people smiled at each other, and they were all rebellious, so they became friends." The word "close friend" first appeared in the Biography of Northern History. Qian Kuo, also known as Chang, was born in Gaoyi, Zhao County, Northern Wei Dynasty (now Baixiang, Hebei Province). When he was young, he was tolerant and informal. He only likes reading and drinking, not being an official. He pinned his feelings on mountains and rivers. Although Ho Choi and Xian had different ambitions, they were like-minded friends when they were young. According to the history books, Xian boasted "little friendship".

Ho Choi has always admired Xian's intelligence. On Stuart's appointment, he asked the emperor for instructions, hoping that Xiankua could be an official under him. But Xiankua's ambition is not in his official career, and he always refuses to go on the pretext of poor health. However, after a long time, he was forced to go to Beijing under the pressure of local officials. After meeting Ho Choi, they arranged accommodation. The two old friends just drank and talked about trifles, which did not involve social interests. Ho Choi tried several times to hint that he was an official, but he never said it. In desperation, he had to throw the emperor's letters into his arms. After reading them, he was unhappy. He felt that his old friend didn't understand him, so he put down the letter and got up to leave. Ho Choi wanted to brag and went back, but he didn't know what to do. In desperation, he ordered his servant to hide a mule he rode when he came, hoping to keep him. Who knows? I borrowed a car from a fellow villager and left the capital. When Ho Choi found out, he felt guilty. He felt that he should not insult his ambition with a small position, and he thought about how to make up for his self-esteem in the future. The following year, Ho Choi returned the praised mule, gave him his beloved mount, and wrote a letter to apologize. Zi Kua didn't answer, leaving the mule and returning Ho Choi's mount to him.

After this incident, the world will think that the praise for Ho Choi will be bitter, but it is not the case. In 450 AD, Cui Hao was killed for compiling "National History" and was wiped out by the three clans. When Qian Kwai learned that, he dressed him in plain clothes, set up a mourning hall, accepted the condolences of the villagers, and wrote "Friends" in memory of Ho Choi. Mr. Lu Xun said: "It is enough to have a bosom friend in life." On our long road of life, true friends can trust each other physically and mentally without getting too close, pushing a cup for a change, without red tape and a glass of water and an idea. Ho Choi and Sue Akwa are such friends.

Prenatal engagement

Refers to the marriage designated by the elders when the child is still in the mother's belly. This is a special form of marriage in ancient China, also known as "finger-belly marriage", which originated in Ho Choi. According to the biography of Wang Baoxing in Shu Wei, "Shangshu is the wife of Xia Lu, and Cui Hao is also his daughter. When Baoxing's mother and her distant wife were pregnant, Hao said,' What you want in the future is my own birth, so you can refer to your belly as a relative. Being married is a writer and self-monitoring. The guest said,' the more beautiful the gift of this family, the better.' This sentence is about daughter's wife Yahe and niece Huilong Wang's wife. They were pregnant almost at the same time. In order to get Cui, Lu and Wang married, the two babies were called relatives. When the two children got married, Ho Choi personally wrote a ceremony and arranged it. He also said to the guests: "This kind of wedding activity should be perfect."

"Finger-belly marriage" started from aristocrats, and its original intention was political marriage. Its purpose was to draw closer the relationship between the two families, form an alliance and gain trust. Later generations followed suit and gradually became a folk custom.
