One day, Wu Rui went to Liu Bang's wine banquet, and during the banquet, the two pushed cups and changed cups, smiling happily. Liu Bang suddenly asked, "If there is any wish that has not yet come true, I will satisfy you." After Wu Rui listened, she broke out in a cold sweat, and after thinking twice, she replied: "The minister misses his homeland and wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”
As soon as Wu Rui's voice fell, Liu Bang raised an eyebrow and smiled, and immediately said that he would definitely let Wu Rui do as he wished. Why was this Liu Bang so happy about Wu Rui's desire to return to his hometown?
This has to start from liu Bang when he hit the world. It is said that in order to establish the imperial industry, Liu Bang, who would buy people's hearts, would win over people with lofty ideals everywhere and assist him in establishing the imperial industry. To this end, Liu Bang created eight princes with different surnames, and Wu Rui was one of these eight princes, and he was the king of Changsha.
Wu Rui, a native of Yuhan County during the Qin and Han dynasties, was a descendant of Fuchai, the King of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. When he was young, Wu Rui was brilliant, and in his youth, he loved the book of soldiers, studied the "Art of War of Sun Tzu" and "The Art of War of Wu Qi", and often led his subordinates to practice the formation.
Coinciding with the Warring States era, social turmoil and the people were not happy. The people of the Qin Dynasty faced harsh rule and heavy servitude, and their lives were miserable and miserable. In order to build the Afang Palace, etc., the people were displaced, the fields were abandoned, and the scattered soldiers were recklessly robbed.
In order to protect his hometown from infringement, Wu Rui spontaneously organized his family and relatives to resist liukou. Wu Rui, who was generous to people, arranged a way out one by one for those scattered soldiers who did not disturb the people. Wu Rui's move soon attracted the attention of more scattered soldiers and brave soldiers, who joined Wu Rui's team, and soon Wu Rui pulled up a team of more than 17,000 people. This is a disciplined team that will never harass the local people and is deeply loved by the local people.
The team led by Wu Rui not only managed to hide soldiers from the people, revitalize agriculture and commerce, but also constantly open up new territory. Later, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township, and Wu Rui was the first Qin Dynasty official to stand up and respond.
Later, Wu Rui also supported Xiang Yu's domination of the world, and used those prisoners with tattoos on their faces to lead the troops, and sent troops to sweep through the Areas of Gan, Xiang, and Gui, and their reputation was greatly enhanced, and many nearby people came to defect. In addition, some officials of the Qin Dynasty also came to join them. Among them, the first LinkedIn bu of the Huainan rebel army was also attached to Wu Rui's command, and Wu Rui saw that Yingbu was extraordinary and brave in battle, so he married his daughter to Yingbu.
Since then, Wu Rui has been following Xiang Yu on his expeditions to the east and the west, making countless contributions. After capturing Xianyang, Xiang Yu rewarded Wu Rui with merit as the King of Hengshan, and his son-in-law Yingbu was also made the King of Jiujiang.
One day, when Wu Rui led his soldiers on a tour around Dongting Lake, he met his friend Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was affectionate with Wu Rui and convinced him to submit to Liu Bang's account. Wu Rui was persuaded to support Liu Bang instead, and zhang Liang and Zhang Liang jointly served Liu Bang. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for supremacy, and after Xiang Yu's defeat, Liu Bang claimed the title of emperor under the support of Wu Rui, Han Xin and others, and Wu Rui was made the King of Changsha.
Wu Rui and the other seven princes with different surnames served Liu Bang together, but Liu Bang, who was just stable in the imperial industry, had scruples in his heart about these foreign kings who had made outstanding achievements in the conquest, so he thought of eliminating these foreign kings with different surnames, of which Wu Rui was naturally indispensable.
Liu Bang knocked and tempted Wu Rui many times, such as the scene at the beginning of the text, which is also Liu Bang's temptation of Wu Rui, if Wu Rui has other undeserved wishes, then Liu Bang has to clean up Wu Rui from the beginning. Fortunately, Wu Rui is a person who has insight into the world, he is influenced by his friend Zhang Liang, he is well versed in the philosophy of birds hiding with bows, rabbits and dead dogs cooking, and he is not so attentive to the pursuit of fame and fortune, so the temptation of Liu Bang can easily pass.
After Liu Bang's temptation of Wu Rui, he also knocked Wu Rui from time to time. Liu Bang had the intention of restoring the state of Wu, so he had to elect a new king of Wu. As we all know, Wu Rui is a descendant of Wu Wangfuchai, and it is reasonable to say that he should be the best candidate for the new Wu King.
However, Wu Rui did not express too many ideas about the position of the new King of Wu, but proposed to Liu Bang that Liu Hao, the Marquis of Pei, was a suitable candidate. Liu Bang was very satisfied with Wu Rui's move, and Shunshi made Liu Hao the new King of Wu.
Wu Rui was not greedy, and he also acted cautiously, through the order of his friend Zhang Liang, he saved his strength, began to act low-key, gave most of his territory to Liu Bang's children, and sealed part of his elite troops under Liu Jia, the king of Jing, and arranged for his five sons to return to Fuliang Yaoli with some of their families.
Wu Rui's generous personality, courage and strategy, in order to attract many people to come to the early stage, to strengthen their own team. Later, at the suggestion of his friend Zhang Liang, he attached himself to Liu Bang and assisted Liu Bang in achieving the imperial cause. With outstanding merit, he did not have too much greed, so that Liu Bang could successfully cope with his many temptations against him.
With good intentions and concerned about the people, when Wu Rui governed changsha, he focused on the people-oriented, vigorously improved the people's livelihood economy, and played a great role in promoting the production and development of Changsha and was deeply loved by the local people.
People's hearts are complex, but the wisdom of the companion is always the same, Zhang Liang and Wu Rui have realized the wisdom of the companion, they know that the companion is like a companion tiger, and the merit is jealous, so they choose to retire from the merit and the wise man, not only to preserve their own glory and wealth, but also to bless the descendants, worthy of a generation of wise men. On the other hand, Han Xin, Peng Yue and other heroes did not have the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Wu Rui, so they ended up with a tragic death.
The Chinese strange book "The Complete Collection of Wisdom Tanks" collects a number of wisdom stories of Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Wu Rui, such as "Chen Ping stripping and punching a boat", "Chen Ping is alert to avoid rumors", etc., in addition, the book also collects more than 1200 wisdom stories, including political, military, and diplomatic strategies, as well as the strange wits and wits of small people in the daily lives of soldiers, drifters, slaves, monks, farmers, etc. These real think tank stories not only help us learn history, but also have great reference significance for the difficulties and doubts we encounter in life, which is worth reading carefully.
