An old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles-an old hero, aiming at a thousand miles.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, governors were everywhere and the world was in chaos. Among them, Cao Cao has the most foresight. He wants to unify the world and re-establish a stable society.

After Cao Cao reclaimed land in Xuchang, he eliminated local forces such as Dong Zhuo, the Yellow Scarf Army, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and basically unified the north.

In the fifth year of Jian 'an (AD 200), Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu. Since then, the military strength has been greatly enhanced, and Cao Cao has become more ambitious. However, Yuan Shao's two sons defected to Wuhuan in an attempt to make a comeback with the help of Wuhuan's strength. The five rings are backward in economy and culture, and the fashion is in the era of slavery. They often scuffled in the Central Plains, encroaching on the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the lives and property of the people in the north could not be guaranteed. In this regard, Cao Cao made up his mind to conquer Wu Huan.

In 207 AD, in the twelfth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao personally commanded the army to go north for an expedition to Wuhuan. At that time, Cao Cao was over half a century old. The ancients believed that when people reached the age of 50, they entered the stage of aging. Cao Cao knows this very well in his heart, but in order to completely eliminate the remnants of the Yuan family and truly unify the north, he is ambitious and suitable for all ages and still gallops on the battlefield. After months of hard marching, Cao Cao fought fiercely in Wuhuan with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, completely defeated Wuhuan, killed their leader and forced hundreds of thousands of people to surrender.

Cao Cao returned home in triumph with a great army. On the way back, Cao Cao, with the joy of victory, thought that he was 53 years old, but the important task of history was on his shoulders, and the great cause of reunifying the Central Plains had not been completed. He was full of passion and wrote a poem:

Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.

The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust.

An old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles.

The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.

……

This poem shows Cao Cao's active enterprising spirit of loving nature, despising fate, being strong in old age and aiming at a thousand miles, and expresses his great ambition to change reality and unify the Central Plains.

Don't know your own strength

In ancient times, in the Great Northern Wilderness, there lived a group of giants with infinite power. Their leader is, is the grandson of Pluto and the son of Xin, so this group of people is called. They are tall and burly, strong-willed, kind-hearted and live a life without competition. But at that time, poisonous snakes and beasts were rampant on the earth, and Kuafu led the people to fight the scourge every day.

One year, the weather was very hot, and the burning sun shone directly on the earth, baking crops, scorching trees and drying rivers. People can't stand the heat. People in Kuafu are dying. Seeing this, Kuafu was very sad. He looked up at the sun and told his people, "The sun is really hateful. I want to catch up with it and let it listen to people. " After hearing this, everyone dissuaded them. Someone said, "Don't go. The sun is so far away from us that you will be exhausted. " Someone said, "The sun is so hot, you will be roasted to death."

But Kuafu made up his mind. He looked at the distressed person and said, "I must go for everyone's happy life!" " So Kuafu bid farewell to his people, strode to the rising sun in the East China Sea and started his daily journey.

The sun is moving fast in the air, and Kuafu is chasing like a gale on the ground. He climbed mountains and mountains. When he is tired from running, he takes a nap. When he is hungry, he picks wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. Seeing that I am getting closer and closer to the sun, my confidence is getting stronger and stronger. The closer you get to the sun, the thirstier you get. But he was not afraid and kept encouraging himself: "Soon, we will catch up with the sun and the people's lives will be happy."

After nine days in Kuya, Kuafu finally caught up with it at sunset. Kuafu was ecstatic with open arms, trying to embrace the sunshine. But the sun was unusually hot, and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. He ran to the Yellow River and drank the water in one breath. He ran to the Weihe River again and drank all the Weihe River water, but he still didn't quench his thirst. Kuafu went to the north, where there was osawa, and there was enough water in osawa to quench Kuafu's thirst. However, Kuafu died of thirst on the way to osawa.

Jumping into Wan Li, the future is bright.

Legend has it that in the far north, there is a barren land, where there is an endless sea called Tianchi. There is a fish in Tianchi, which is thousands of miles wide. No one knows how long it is. Its name is Kun. Kun became a big bird, Peng, with his back like Mount Tai, spreading his wings like a dark cloud covering the sky.

Dapeng bird hovers upward in the swirling hurricane. When it flaps its wings, it stirs up 3000 miles of waves at sea. It rides a whirlwind, flies high, soars into the sky, and can fly out of Wan Li at once. For such a long distance, it will take half a year for Dapeng bird to fly back to its original residence to rest.

There is a little sparrow in the swamp. He saw Dapeng flying high, smiled disapprovingly and said, "Where will it fly?" I jumped up, leisurely, but a few feet high, and returned to the ground, flying around in the wormwood, free, which is also a very proud flight. Why did you fly thousands of miles away? "

Later, people often used "Pengcheng Wan Li" to express congratulations or self-encouragement. Li Bai wrote in On Li Yong: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars in Wan Li." Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Fisherman's Passion": "90,000 Li Fengpeng is the right move."
