Xu He will meet in Clermont. Huan Gong and Zhuang Gong formed an alliance on the altar and robbed with daggers. Duke Huan did not dare to move rashly, but asked, "What does the son want?" Cao Mo said: "Qi is strong and Lu is weak, but the invasion of Lu by the foreign powers is very severe. Today, if Lucheng is broken, it will crush the whole territory. Do the math! " Qi Huangong promised to return to Lu.

Some people say that when Cao Mo throws his dagger and walks down the altar, he will be a minister in the north, with the same color and the same remarks. Huan Gong is angry, so he should double his promise. Guan Zhong said, "No, it's better for a husband to be greedy for small profits, abandon the trust of governors and lose the gift of the world." So Huan Gong cut Lu and invaded the land, and the land of Cao Mo was returned to Lu in World War III.

People in the state of Lu worked for Duke Zhuang of Lu with their courage and intelligence. Zhuang Gong likes fighting very much. Cao Mo, the general of Lu, fought against Qi three times and failed. Duke Zhuang of Lu was afraid and wanted to give this place of Sui Yi to Qi for peace, but he still thought it was a general.

So he made an appointment with Duke Zhuang of Lu and made an oath in Ke. Zhuang Gong and Huan Gong have begun to swear in the Temple of Heaven, and Cao Mo hijacked Qi Huangong with a dagger in his hand. People around Huan Gong did not dare to make any moves. They just asked him, "What do you want?"

Cao Mo: "Qi is strong, Lu is weak, and powerful countries have invaded Lu enough. Now the capital of Lu is on the border of Qi, and you still want to invade it. " So he promised to return all the places occupied by Lu to Lu. When Cao Mo saw Qi Huangong say this, he threw away his dagger and walked down the Temple of Heaven, facing the North Station where his ministers should stand. His face hasn't changed at all, and everything he says and does seems to have never happened before.

Qi Huangong was furious and wanted to go back on our word. Guan Zhong said: "This is no good. You can't covet such a small interest for a moment's happiness. Doing so will make you lose your prestige among governors and the trust and help of the world. It is better to give it back to him. " So he returned the city that invaded Lu to Lu. All the cities in Cao Mo that were destroyed in the three world wars were returned.

Legend of the assassin/assassin

Biography of Assassins has more than 5,000 words, including Cao Mo, Zhuan Xu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke.

In 228 BC, the king of Qin sent his general Wang Jian to attack Zhao, kill him, then occupy Handan and take him away. Wang Jian was immediately ordered to lead his troops to Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei Province) and prepare to attack Yan State. Yan's situation is in jeopardy at this time. The fact is: "Yan Wei is trapped by soldiers. Today, the whole country is not enough to become A Qin. "

Yan Taizi Dan was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks at this time. At the critical moment of the great siege of Qin Jun, he had to send someone to assassinate this terrorist policy.

At the end of the Warring States Period, the story of Jing Ke stabbing the king of Qin took place at the end of the Warring States Period in 227 BC, that is, six years before Qin unified China. At that time, Qin had destroyed Korea in 230 BC and defeated Zhao in 228 BC, and the overall situation of Qin's unification of the world was set.

Yan is a small country located in the north. At the beginning, in order to please Qin, the prince gave Taizi Dan to Qin as a hostage.

The Qin Dynasty was unlucky, and Taizi Dan fled back to Yan in 232 BC. In 228 BC, after defeating Zhao, Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, led his army northward and reached the border of Yan State. In order to resist the massive attack of Qin, Yan Taizidan avenged his humiliation in Qin, and decided to send Jing Ke to hijack the king of Qin, trying to coerce the king of Qin to return the land occupied by Qin.

If the threat fails, the king of Qin will be stabbed to death, causing chaos within the state of Qin. However, contrary to expectations, Jing Ke failed to stab the king of Qin, and Qin Jun attacked Yan on a large scale, which was destroyed in 222 BC.

Cao Mo

Lu people are famous for their bravery and good fighting skills. Duke Lu admired him very much and appointed him as a general to fight against Qi. Unexpectedly, all three wars were defeated, and Lu was afraid of public hazards, so he quickly negotiated for peace. But I don't blame Cao Mo, I still regard him as a general.

Promised to form an alliance with Lu in Kedi. Just as Duke Zhuang of Lu and Duke Huan were preparing to reach a humiliating agreement, Cao Mo rushed over with a dagger in his hand and hijacked Qi Huangong. Huan Gong was afraid of hurting his master and didn't dare to do anything. Duke Huan asked, "What do you want?" Cao Mo said, "Your bullying has gone too far.

What do you think we should do, your majesty? Duke Huan was forced to promise to return all the land occupied by Lu. After being promised, Cao Mo put down his dagger and stood among the ministers again, his face unchanged and his words remained the same. Huan Gong became angry from embarrassment and wanted to break his word. He was stopped by Guan Zhong. As a result, all the land lost by Cao Mo in the Third World War was returned.

With loyal courage and immortal tongue, Cao Mo not only regained the land, but also saved his life, which is remarkable.

There is a poem about Cao Mo robbing Qi Huangong, the ancestor of chivalrous men. As a poem says: Sensen Ge Jia is in full swing, and he proudly stands on the altar with his sword. Three defeats hurt all, and one day is a shame to wash away the snow. The thousand-year-old chivalrous man is called Cao first.

Cao Mo and Cao Gui are the same person.
