Yan laughed and said, "Listen, Yang Yi! If Kong Ming were alive, I would still be afraid of him. Now that he is dead, who in the world dares to fight me? Let alone shouting three times, shouting thirty thousand times is not a big deal!" Then he raised his sword and put on the reins, and shouted on his horse, "Who dares to kill me?"

What is the meaning of three horses eating from the same trough in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Refers to Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao.

Introduction: According to the "Book of Jin·Xuandi Ji", when Sima Yi was still a counselor of Cao Cao, Cao Cao found that he was quite ambitious and was very worried about him. One day, Cao Cao had a dream that there were three horses eating in the same trough, and he was very unhappy when he woke up. At first, Cao Cao thought it was Ma Chao's family and killed Ma Chao's father. Sima Yi and his son happened to be three horses, and "trough" is homophonic to "Cao". "Three horses in the same trough" doesn't it mean that the Sima family is going to eat up the Cao family? Cao Cao felt that this was an ominous sign, so he called the crown prince Cao Pi and said to him: "Sima Yi is not a person who is willing to be a minister. He will definitely interfere in our government and family affairs in the future." But Cao Pi later trusted Sima Yi very much and did not take his father's words to heart. Later, as Cao Cao expected, the three Sima fathers and sons not only successively dominated the government of Cao Wei, but also eventually destroyed Cao Wei and established the Western Jin Dynasty.
