Chapter eighty-seven Stone manger and marching pot _ The following written materials were published after Bian Xiao collected them. Let's take a look together!

Shimacao opens the Yuan view in the west courtyard of Jingzhou Museum. The warp is about 5 meters long and 1 meter wide, and it is carved from a huge boulder. This stone manger is said to be a manger dedicated to feeding red rabbits when Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou. & gt& gt Guan Yu's red hare is BMW. It gallops on all fours, traveling thousands of miles a day and 800 miles at night, which is difficult for ordinary war horses to catch up with. It is precisely because of its high speed and high physical consumption that it needs more forage. Guan Yu first came to Jingzhou and was stationed in Xiangyang. He used to graze red hare on a mountain in Zhongxiang, which was later called Mafang Mountain. Guan Yu ordered people to cut a huge stone trough on the hillside and sent people to raise red rabbits. In just three months and three days, the red hare grew fat and strong. A year later, Guan Yu moved to Jingzhou City. After a while, Guan Yu went to the stable to pull the red rabbit out for a walk. He took out the red hare and was surprised: he saw that the red hare was obviously thinner and his ribs were clearly visible. The horse breeder was afraid that Guan Yu would blame him and quickly reported the truth. & gt& gt It turns out that Red Rabbit became picky eaters after leaving Fangma Mountain, and even stopped eating good forage. Horse owners have tried their best, but it still doesn't help. Guan Yu didn't believe it, so he fed himself forage. As a result, the red hare still refused to eat, and the manger was overturned. & gt& gt Seeing this, Guan Yu suddenly remembered an old saying: People love their homeland and horses love their troughs. So Guan Yu sent someone to Zhongxiang to cut down the stone manger on the mountain, put it together with several cars and transport it to Jingzhou. Red hare was very happy to see this stone manger. It wolfed down the forage as before and soon recovered. After Guan Yu died, the manger was exiled to Jingzhou. & gt& gt marching pot, commonly known as Chengtian Temple cauldron, is named after Chengtian Temple. This pot is cylindrical, with a height of 100 cm, a diameter of about 150 cm and a wall thickness of about 1m, and is made of pig iron. This huge iron pot is said to have been left by Cao Cao after the defeat of Jiangnan and Chibi. So it is also called Cao Cao marching pot. Because the pot is very thick and big, there is a folk saying that it will not be cold for three days without rolling. & gt& gt In 208 AD, Cao Cao personally led 830,000 troops to Jingzhou-Wulin Line in order to wipe out Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Most of these troops were northerners, except Liu Biao who died in the south.

Cooking utensils are not suitable for fighting in areas where rice is the staple food. So Cao Cao accepted the counselor's advice and cast a large iron pot. A pot of rice could be eaten by hundreds of people, which saved a lot of trouble in a small pot. Cao Cao was very happy and thought the victory was in the bag. & gt& gt Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Jun are defeated. Cao Cao only escaped with more than twenty riders, and was stopped by Guan Yu at Huarong Road. In order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, Guan Yu risked violating military orders and let Cao Cao go without permission, but Cao Jun's weapons and trench were seized. Later, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou City, and Guan Yu took Cao Cao's army pot as a trophy and put it in Huguo Temple. After the temple was destroyed, Chengtian Temple was built locally, and this large iron pot was moved into the temple as a incense burner. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Japanese army demolished Chengtian Temple, and this big iron pot survived the smashing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was collected by the museum.
