King Wu asked Sun Wu to train for himself, and even asked to experiment with the palace maid first, and chose his favorite two Meiji as captains.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, Sun Wu, a native of the Wu state, lived in seclusion in Luofu Mountain, a rare talent, and King Wu sent Wu Zixu to invite him to serve in the central court. King Wu received Sun Wu graciously, and asked Wu Zixu to read Sun Tzu's 13 articles of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and after reading it, he greatly appreciated it, and shook his head helplessly while being happy.
It turned out that King Wu was glad that he had obtained a talent like Sun Wu, but he regretted that his country had few small soldiers, and I was afraid that he could not let such a wonderful art of war work. Sun Tzu, however, said that his art of war can not only be practiced in the army, but also that weak women can go to the battlefield to fight after his training.
However, King Wu felt ridiculous, so Sun Wu said solemnly: "If the king doesn't believe it, you can choose two of your favorite Meiji as captains, and lead the palace maids of the harem to let me try to train, if you can't succeed, you can cure me of the crime of bullying." ”
King Wu's curiosity was raised at once, so he chose the left and right two ji to hand over to Sun Wu, although it was an attempt, but also according to Sun Wu's requirements, he set up law enforcement officers, military officials, drummers and tooth generals to strengthen the army.
Sun Wu divided the palace ladies into two teams, left and right, and ordered the left and right two Ji to lead a team, so that they were all neatly draped and armed with weapons, and then said to them: "In the affairs of the army, the most important thing is strict orders, and rewards and punishments are clear, so I will give you three disciplines: first, do not allow chaos in formation, second, do not make loud noises, and third, do not disobey orders." Tomorrow, we will meet at the school ground and listen to the exercises. At that time, the king will take the stage to watch. ”
The next morning, both teams of palace ladies came to the school to assemble, one by one they changed into armor and swords, and the two Meiji in their left hands also put on armor and acted as generals, standing in front of the two pairs to wait for Sun Wu's review. King Wu saw the palace ladies on the stage in good spirits, and nodded heroically and applauded.
Sun Wu finished the review and began to practice, he personally drew the formation map, the herald asked the two Meiji to each hold a yellow flag, as a leader, the palace maids followed the captain, first demonstrated, let the two palace maids be familiar with the drum order, after a while, when the palace maids were ready, Sun Wu ordered to beat the drum as an order, the footsteps followed the footsteps, with the drum beat turned left and right, no wrong steps were allowed.
After the sergeant beat the first drum, he saw that the palace ladies were standing and sitting, uneven, and they all covered their mouths and smiled, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
Sun Wu left his seat, stood up and said, "The order just now is not clear enough, I don't blame you, it's my responsibility as a general!" So the hit army repeated the order again. As a result, when the second drum was beaten, I saw that the palace ladies stood up, that is, crookedly, and leaned on the other, laughing as much as just now.
Sun Wu then ordered the military officer to reiterate the previous order, then rolled up his sleeves and personally grabbed the drumsticks to beat the third drum. I saw the two Meiji and the palace ladies holding swords and comparing, laughing one by one, leaning forward and back, and the team was chaotic.
King Wu watched with relish on stage, laughing at Sun Wu's pedantic and absurd. At this time, Sun Wu roared: "Where is the law enforcement officer"? The magistrate threw himself on his knees in front of Sun Wu.
"If the restrictions are not clear, the order cannot be issued, how should it be punished according to military law?"
"It should be decapitated."
"The order does not work, the captain should first ask the guilt and immediately behead the two Meiji to show the public."
It was too late to say it, and before King Wu could react, the two Meiji were already in a different place. King Wu was very distressed and did not want to reuse Sun Wu again. Seeing this, Wu Zixu hurriedly persuaded.
"Military affairs are not child's play, and military orders cannot be carried out unless rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. The great king wants to conquer the Chu country and dominate the world, and should reuse good generals. Moreover, beauty is easy to obtain, and good generals are hard to find, and if you give up a rare good general like Sun Wu for the sake of the two Meiji, it is tantamount to giving up the seedlings by liking weeds."
King Wu Lang Lu immediately came to his senses, and immediately made Sun Wu a general and ordered him and Wu Zixu to complete the great cause of felling Chu. Later, King Wu, with the help of Sun Wu, successfully attacked the capital of the Chu state, Yingdu, and finally destroyed the state of Chu.
When discussing meritorious rewards, Sun Wu was unwilling to become an official and resolutely asked to return to his hometown to live in seclusion, so King Wu gave him a lot of money, and Sun Wu gave it to the poor people along the way, and then there was no news.
Some people say that Sun Tzu is really not honest enough to win trust by killing innocent people, so what should Wu Qi do when he kills his wife?
