How did "Speak of the devil" come about?
Speaking of the devil is a common proverb in our daily life, which is generally used to describe coincidences encountered in life. The source of this sentence was written by Mao Zonggang when he annotated The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty just wanted to ask Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao just arrived, so Mao Zonggang commented on Cao Cao's arrival with emotion. The next sentence of this sentence is to miss it face to face. Is it funny?

First, after the tacit understanding between Cao Cao and Emperor Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, the imperial court was controlled by Guo Si and Li Que. Later, because they were fighting for the position of the boss, Emperor Han took this opportunity to escape. At that time, Guo Si and Li Gan found that Han Di had escaped, fearing that things would be strangled like Dong Zhuo, so they decided to kill Han Di. At that time, Li Jue and Guo Si's army had caught up with Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and were preparing to make moves.

Second, Lu Bu didn't know Cao Cao face to face. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he panicked and fled everywhere, and finally settled in Puyang City. Cao Cao wanted to capture Puyang City and capture Lu Bu alive. As a result, it was introduced into the city by advisers around Lu Bu. Lu Bu wanted to catch turtles in a jar and take down Cao Cao. So he searched for Cao Cao in the city, then cut off his hat with his own weapon, grabbed Cao Cao by the collar and asked him where Cao Cao was. So Cao Cao pointed to the man riding Huang Ma in front and said, That's Cao Cao. So Lu Bu really went after the man, and Cao Cao got away with it and ran away in fear. It can be seen that Lu Bu was foolhardy. Even if he was caught by Cao Cao and wanted to recognize Cao Cao as his adoptive father, he was killed by Cao Cao.

3. Laugh at a proverb of Lu Bu: Speaking of the devil, it's ridiculous not to know him face to face. This sentence is to laugh at the comments left by Mao Zonggang of Lu Bu. It focuses on the second half of the sentence. Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao are very familiar, and Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's adopted son. It's funny that he doesn't know what Cao Cao looks like.
