Pu Songling has a couplet:
Those who have lofty ideals can accomplish things, break the cauldron and sink the boat, and the hundred and two Qin Guans will eventually belong to Chu.
The bitter hearted people do not bear the burden, lie down and taste the guts, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu.
Today we will not talk about the allusions of Shanglian Xiangyu, but only talk about how the King of Xialian Yue destroyed the State of Wu.
It is said that the ancestors of the Yue King are the descendants of Dayu. He was the son born to the concubine of Emperor Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty, and was sealed in Huiji, where he was asked to sacrifice and guard Dayu's tomb. (Here sima Qian thinks.) ）
It has been passed down for more than twenty generations, and it has been passed on to Yun Chang, who began to fight with King Wu, formed a grudge, and attacked each other. In 15 years, Yun Chang took advantage of the emptiness of the Wu state's crusade against the Chu state to launch a military force, resulting in a growing feud between the two countries. Wu and Yue's love-hate relationship also gradually formed.
Soon Yun Chang fell ill and died. His son, who was also Gou Jian, naturally became the king of Yue.
Taking advantage of the news of Yun Chang's death, King Wu of Wu said that he had inspired troops to attack the Yue kingdom. Yue Wang Gou Jian organized a death squad, let them line up in three lines, walked all the way to Wu Jun, and then shouted and killed themselves together. At this time, the army of the State of Wu could see the gods. Not yet, wait for the ease of god to come. The Vietnamese army launched a surprise attack, and Wu Wang Lu was forced to withdraw. By this time, he was seriously injured. A few days later, he died of a wound that was too severe.
Before he dies, tell his son, don't forget to take revenge!
After three years of practice, he learned the news that Wu Wangfu was increasingly training troops and preparing for revenge, and he wanted to rebel against the guests and preemptively attack. However, it was opposed by Fan Li. I am afraid that you think that war is an inauspicious thing, and that it is inhumane to start a war. War is the worst strategy for resolving contradictions. He also told Gou Jian that secretly plotting anti-humane actions likes to use murderous weapons, but the consequences of taking the lowest measures are not allowed by heaven. If you insist on doing something like this, you may fail.
Gouge ignored his words. Gou Jian made up his mind and took his troops to attack the State of Wu. The Wu army defeated the Vietnamese army at Fu Chiu. With only 5,000 soldiers retreating, the Wu army went on to besiege the Vietnamese army. At this point, he regretted it. Fan Li suggested that he submit to Wu. When he went to Wu Wangfu to ask for peace, The King of Yue said to Fan Li, because he did not hear your advice, he fell into such a situation, what should he do today? Fan Li told him that if he wanted to maintain the country's prosperity, he must emulate the uncomplacency of the Heavenly Dao. If we want to reverse the crisis of the country, we must make humble concessions and make frugality and prosperity according to local conditions. It means asking for forgiveness that can capture Wu Wangfuchai. I hope to be able to ask for forgiveness with humble words and generous gifts, and if I still can't, then I will use my body as a slave to others.
So King Gou Jian of Yue asked Wen Zhi to go to the Kingdom of Wu to beg for Peace with Wen Zi, and after arriving in the Kingdom of Wu, he knelt down in front of me and said that your defeated vassal Gou Jian sent his servant Wen Shu to give you a message, Gao Jian is now willing to be your slave, his wife is willing to be your maid, and Gou Jian agrees to join Wu.
However, in the State of Wu, there was also a figure of the level of "Elder", "Wu Zixu", Who advised King Wu not to do this, believing that destroying the State of Yue was the best strategy.
The Yue King hooked the sword
Wen Zhong went back, he reported to the Yue King Gou Jian for Wu Guo's attitude, Gou Jian was angry after hearing this, he angrily wanted to kill his wife and children, burn his property, and have a "broken boat" with Wu Guo, but at this time Wen Zhu had already thought of how to deal with it, he entrusted the matter to a Dazai of Wu Guo, Wen Zi knew the character of this person very well, and wanted to bribe people's hearts with bribes.
Soon the language really did...
It is said that the literary genre is the idea of hooking, and the person who is looking for is the Wu Kingdom Dazai Boyao, who is very greedy for people, and especially likes these "things outside the body". Wen Zhong sent him all the treasures of the beauty, hoping to negotiate with him and get a beautiful word in front of King Wu.
This person was also quite "authentic" in his work, and after accepting the gifts sent by Gou Jian, he went to see King Wu with the text. The language is also very hardworking, and has made many sacrifices for the practice. He prostrated his head and interceded with King Wu, hoping to win forgiveness and forgive the gouge. And there will be sincere dedication to you to the treasures of the country. And you will also let the monarch of the continent be a slave for three years, and if you do not accept our persuasion, then the monarch of the continent will sacrifice the troops of the whole country and burn all the treasures. Kill your wife and children and fight you Wu Guo to a duel.
At this time, Bo Yao, who was next to him, also spoke beautifully in front of him. Let Wu Wangfuchai's vigilance be lowered.
Wu Wangfuchai then agreed to his request. Pardon was pardoned by the retreat of the army encircling the Mountain of Accounting. When Goku was trapped in Mount Huiji, he sighed sadly. Is it necessary to waste all the efforts that have been made here? Wen Chuan enlightened him, shang tang had been imprisoned in Xiatai, King Wen of Zhou had been imprisoned in Qili, and the Prince of Jin had fled to the Zhai district. Xiao Bai, the prince of the State of Qi, also fled to juguo, but they all later became kings and hegemons. Looking at the examples of these people, who can say that we are not a good thing this time?
So Gou Jian handed over the country's major politics to Wen Zhong, and let Fan Li negotiate with Gou Jian Wu and stay there as a hostage. Two years later, Wu Guo was relieved to let Fan Li return.
Before he was held hostage, he handed over the state's political power to Fan Li and Wen, who said that the language was inferior to mine in the matter of training troops and fighting, and I was inferior to the literary genre in matters of stabilizing the country and caring for the people.
Yue Wang Gou Jian suffered so much torture and humiliation in those three years that he could not forget those three years of shame. Both physically and mentally, they have been devastated.
Later, when he returned to Vietnam, he personally cultivated the land to work, and his wife also spun and woven cloth herself, and they ate no more meat than others, and the color of the clothes they wore was not at all stronger than that of others. They put down their shelves, respected the wise, treated their guests with courtesy, they helped the poor, they compensated for the dead and the wounded, and they worked like ordinary people.
In the seventh year of his return from the State of Wu, he thought that the work of appeasing the people had been done well, so he prepared to recruit troops to fight with the State of Wu, at this time the doctors were dissuaded, the country suffered a heavy damage, and now it has just paid a little, if you immediately reorganize the armament war. Wu Guo will immediately feel alert, then we will be in great trouble, a bird of prey must first hide his body when attacking a weak bird. Now the State of Wu is using troops against the State of Qi and the State of Jin in the north, and the South is also feuding with the State of Chu and the State of Yue, his prestige is supreme and exclusive, endangering the authority of Zhou Tianzi, a person with less benevolence and more martial arts, then he must be proud and arrogant, it is better to have good relations with the State of Qi, the State of Jin and the State of Chu on the one hand, on the one hand, to use generous gifts to Wu Guotao, as the ambitions of the State of Wu continue to increase, he will inevitably become more and more belligerent, then we will be able to grasp the initiative, we can take advantage of their enemies on several sides, and smash it in one fell swoop.
Yue Wang Gou Jian then agreed.
After two years, King Wu prepared to go north to the State of Qi, and Wu Zixu dissuaded him. He believes that collusion poses a threat to them. Therefore, Wu Zixu's suggestion was to eradicate the Yue state first. He thinks that Yue Guo is the trouble of his own confidants, and as for qi guo, it is all fur. He hoped to clean up his confidante, the State of Yue, first, but king Wu did not listen to him, but instead raised an army to attack the state of Qi, and the Qi army was defeated by Ai Ling, capturing many famous generals and nobles. After returning to the kingdom of Wu, King Wu triumphantly rebuked Wu Zixu, and Wu Zixu said that the king should not be too happy, the king of Wu was very angry, and Wu Zixu wanted to commit suicide. After King Wu listened, he stopped him. At this time, the Yue King observed that Wu Wang Fuchai was already quite arrogant.
Xu took the sword and laughed, I once helped your father become the overlord, and then let you become the king of Wu, I thought that you wanted to give me half of the Kingdom of Wu, I don't want it, but today you listened to the rumors of the villain to kill me. Hey, I see you a light pole, who else can you rely on in the future? He said to the emissaries sent by King Wu, "After I die, you will gouge out my eyes and place them on the walls of the Kingdom of Wu." Let him watch the Vietnamese army come in. After Wu Zixu's death, King Wu handed over all the power of the state to Dazai. It is said that the literary genre is the idea of hooking, and the person who is looking for is the Wu Kingdom Dazai Boyao, who is very greedy for people, and especially likes these "things outside the body". Wen Zhong sent him all the treasures of the beauty, hoping to negotiate with him and get a beautiful word in front of King Wu.
Coming, returning to Vietnam, he personally cultivated the land to work, and his wife also spun and woven cloth herself, and they ate no more meat than others, and the color of the clothes they wore was not at all stronger than that of others. They put down their shelves, respected the wise, treated their guests with courtesy, they helped the poor, they compensated for the dead and the wounded, and they worked like ordinary people.
After another two years, King Wu prepared to go north to the State of Qi, and Wu Zixu dissuaded him. He believes that collusion poses a threat to them. Therefore, Wu Zixu's suggestion was to eradicate the Yue state first. He thinks that Yue Guo is the trouble of his own confidants, and as for qi guo, it is all fur. He hoped to clean up his confidante, the State of Yue, first, but king Wu did not listen to him, but instead raised an army to attack the state of Qi, and the Qi army was defeated by Ai Ling, capturing many famous generals and nobles. After returning to the kingdom of Wu, King Wu triumphantly rebuked Wu Zixu, and Wu Zixu said that the king should not be too happy, the king of Wu was very angry, and Wu Zixu wanted to commit suicide. After King Wu listened, he stopped him. At this time, the Yue King observed that Wu Wang Fuchai was already quite arrogant.
Later, King Gou of Yue borrowed grain from the State of Wu, and King Fuchai of Wu thought that the State of Yue was particularly friendly with him, so he lent them grain. Wu Zixu persuaded him not to borrow it, but King Wu still insisted on lending it on his own initiative. The Yue King was secretly happy in his heart. Wu Zixuan told the people below that the great king always did not listen to my advice, and I was afraid that after three years, the kingdom of Wu would become a ruin. At this time, Wu Zixu's bad words about the Dazai Bo yao cave of the State of Wu. It is said that Wu Zixuan looks like a loyal person, but in fact he is a very cruel person, he does not even care about the life and death of his father and brother, where will he care about the king? When the great king last crusaded against the State of Qi, he vigorously opposed it, and now that the crusade against the State of Qi has been victorious, he still resents you very much. If you don't guard him well, he may rebel. Then, he conspired with the traitors of Tong Yueguo to take turns to say bad things about Wu Zixu in front of Wu Wangfuchai. King Wu did not believe it at first, but then he sent Wu Zixu to the State of Qi, and heard that Wu Zixu had brought his son to the State of Qi and entrusted it to others. When King Wu found out, he was very angry, believing that Wu Zixuan was indeed deceiving him. When Wu Zixun returned, King Wu sent someone to send a sword to Wu Zixu to commit suicide.
Wu Zixu took the sword and laughed, I once helped your father become the overlord, and then let you become the king of Wu, I think you wanted to give me half of the Kingdom of Wu, I don't want it, but today you listened to the rumors of the villain to kill me. Hey, I see you a light pole, who else can you rely on in the future? He said to the emissaries sent by King Wu, "After I die, you will gouge out my eyes and place them on the walls of the Kingdom of Wu." Let him watch the Vietnamese army come in. After Wu Zixu's death, King Wu handed over all the power of the state to Dazai.
Since the State of Wu spent a large number of troops on the State of Qi and other countries, The King of Yue Took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to dismount. Forced the Wu state junfu to Gusu Mountain.
Out of Fu Cha's guilt for Wu Zixu, he finally committed suicide and covered his face with a cloth.
Since then, Gou has taken revenge and hatred, threatening to shake the four directions.
