Guoxue idiom story (61) After the brain drain, there are endless troubles and the use of chu materials

Traditional Chinese idioms, condensing the essence of history; winding paths, meet a different "China".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, as the Zhou royal family declined, the various princely states fought endlessly, and for hundreds of years, "thirty-six kings were killed, fifty-two countries were destroyed, and the princes could not protect their society."

In other countries, due to internal turmoil, there has been a serious brain drain, of which the Chu state is the most typical, and both zuo zhuan and Chinese record this phenomenon in long passages.

It should be pointed out that for this phenomenon, the "Zuo Biao" and "Chinese" differ in narrative details. This article is based on "Zuo Biao", and the relevant chapters of "Chinese" are attached at the end of the article, which friends can refer to and read.

The brain drain in any era is a major loss. Recall that in modern history, in addition to the brain drain, some countries, such as the former Soviet Union, have also experienced large-scale capital outflows, and their bad influence still exists today. Because most of this money is squeezed out of the blood and sweat of cheap domestic labor or at the cost of polluting the environment.

The husband uses copper as a mirror and can wear a crown; Taking the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Yes, there is this article.

In the former Guoxue idiom story "The Land of No Standing Cone", it was mentioned that there was a person of low status in the Chu State named Wu Shan, that is, the great-grandfather of the famous Wu Zixu.

Because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Jinchu, Wu Was promoted to Doctor. Wu Zan has a son named Wu Ju (椒舉), who has a very strong relationship with Cai Guo's doctor Shengzi.

Wu Ju married the daughter of Prince Mou, and later Prince Mou fled for his sins, and King Chu Kang believed that Wu Ju had let him go. When Wu Ju heard about it, he fled to Zheng Guo in fear and planned to flee as far as the Jin State.

Coincidentally on this day, Cai Shengzi sent an envoy to Jin Guo to pass by Zheng Guo, and the two met on the outskirts of Zheng Guo.

He was surprised to know it. In the wilderness, there is nothing to pay attention to. So the two found a vacant lot, laid out the thorns as a table, and talked while eating.

In the meantime, Wu Ju told his unfortunate experience and said that he wanted to return to the Chu country, which had its own home after all.

Zi Sheng said, "If you go to the Jin Kingdom for a while, I will definitely help you return to China." ”

Wu Shan listened, knelt down one after another, and gave Zisheng four horses as a reward.

(Below) The consequences of brain drain are serious

Soon after, The Grand Master of the Song Dynasty signed a peace treaty with Shu to the Jin and Chu countries. In this context, Cai Shengzi, who returned from the Jin Dynasty, came to the Chu State again.

Chu Guo ordered Yin Zimu to receive Shengzi specially, and during the meeting, Zimu asked Shengzi, "Who is more wise, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom and the doctor of the Chu State?" ”

Shengzi waited for this, so he replied: "The secretary of the Jin state is not as good as the chu state, but the doctors of the Jin state are very wise, and they are all qingcai." I also noticed a phenomenon that there were many talents in the Jin Dynasty who ran from the Chu State and were reused. ”

Zi Mu said, "Isn't there no talent available in the Jin Dynasty who are of the same race and in-laws?" ”

Naruto said, "Yes." But different talents have different roles. We have a large number of talents in the Chu country, but over the years, because they like to abuse punishment, many talents have fled and become strategists in other countries. Because these people know the inside story and customs of the Chu State very well, once they come up with plans and suggestions to deal with the Chu State, the harm is very great, and they are almost to the point of being incurable. ”

1. When King Zhuang of Chu was in trouble, Prince Yi of Shen's father was in rebellion, and someone said bad things about King Zhuang, but King Zhuang did not distinguish between right and wrong, and Duke Zhuang was forced to flee to the Jin state.

As a result, in the Battle of the Horns, the Marquis of Jin asked The Duke of Jin to stand behind his chariot as a strategist. Originally, the Jin army was going to escape secretly, but Jie Gong said: "The Chu army is frivolous and easy to be shaken. If many big drums were beaten together and a powerful offensive was launched at the same time, the Chu army would surely collapse. ”

This strategy was adopted by the Jin Jun, and the Chu army was indeed defeated and fled. The Jin army took the opportunity to invade the State of Cai and attack the State of Shen, and captured the King of the State of Shen. Subsequently, he defeated the combined forces of Shen and Xi at Sang Tunnel, and Zheng Guo was also frightened to betray the Chu state. As a result, the State of Chu lost the Central Plains, which was created by the analysis of public affairs.

2. On the first day, the father and brother of the great master Yongzi made a rumor to King Gong of Chu, and the king of Chu did not distinguish between right and wrong, and Yongzi fled to the Jin kingdom.

In the Battle of Pengcheng, the Jin state wanted to escape, but was stopped by Yongzi and issued an order that the old and the young return home, the orphans and the sick return home, the two brothers who served back to one, and the remaining soldiers burned the tents and fought with the Chu army to the death. They also deliberately released the Chu captives and asked them to go back to report the news, and as a result, the Chu army collapsed and the Chu state lost the land of Dongyi.

Third, the prince rebelled against the witches for the beautiful xia ji, and the witches took advantage of the envoys to the state of Qi and took Xia Ji away. Zi was jealous and angry, and killed the wuchen's people. In order to retaliate, Wu Chen made the State of Wu and the State of Jin reconcile, betrayed the State of Chu, and also taught the Wu people to drive to fight, making the State of Chu tired of running for its life, and the bad influence is still there. (See the previous idiom story "Exhausted for Life")

4. During the Rebellion of the Ruo Ao Clan, Emperor Ben, the son of Dou Bodi, fled to the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin people gave him Miaodi and made him the chief strategist. In the Battle of Yanling, the Chu army laid down its position in advance, and the Jin army was supposed to escape, but as a result, Emperor Miao ben advised the Jin people, defeated the Chu army, the King of Chu was injured, and the son committed suicide. The State of Zheng betrayed again, the State of Wu arose, and the State of Chu lost the support of the princes, which was the result of the loss of emperor Ben.

After saying something, Zi Mu nodded his head and sighed.

Sonic hit the iron while it was hot and said, "Now there is a more serious brain drain in front of you, but you haven't realized it yet." ”

Zimu was surprised, and Naruko said: "WuJu married the daughter of Shen Gongzimu, and Zimu escaped after being convicted, and as a result, Wuju was found to be a co-offender and forced to flee. He once wandered in Zheng Guo, stretching his neck to look south, thinking day and night about returning to China. Now that he is in exile in the Jin Kingdom, the Jin people are planning to reuse him, and one day if he attacks the Chu State, wouldn't it be terrible? ”

When Zimu heard this, it was like cold water toppings, so he begged Shengzi to coordinate in the middle, and sent Wu Ju's son Jiao Ming to welcome Wu Ju back to the Chu country, and the official was reinstated.
