Han and Wei attacked him, and Xiangzi attacked him, defeating Zhibo's people. Then kill Zhibo and destroy the Zhi clan. Only the auxiliary fruit is in. The field of the three families divided into the Chi clan. Zhao Xiangzi Qi Zhibo's head, thought to drink vessel. Zhibo's minister Yu Rang wanted to avenge him, but he was fraudulently tortured, took a dagger, and went into the womb to apply toilets. Xiangzi was moved to the toilet, asked for it, and was given way. Left and right want to kill, Xiangzi said: "Zhibo has no queen after death, and this person wants to avenge, and the true righteous man is also!" I shy away from it. "Naiyuki. Yu Rang was also a leper, swallowed charcoal as a mute, begged in the city, and his wife did not know it. When he saw his friends, his friendship knew them, he wept for them: "With the talent of the son, the minister Zhao Meng will be blessed." The Son does whatever he wants, is it easy to be evil? He Nai suffers like this! Isn't it hard to seek revenge?" Yu Rang: "No! It is a two-hearted task to be a subordinate and to seek to kill. Whatever I do, it is extremely difficult to hear. However, those who are for this reason will be ashamed of the world and those who will have two hearts for future generations. "Xiangzi out, Yu let himself fall under the bridge. Xiangzi to the bridge, Ma shocked, Suozhi, Yu Rang, and killed. (Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 1, Zhou Ji 1)
The armies of Han and Wei took the opportunity to attack from both wings, and Zhao Xiangzi led his soldiers to attack head-on from the front, defeating the Zhi family's army, so he killed Zhibo and destroyed the Zhi family. Only the auxiliary fruit was spared. The Zhao, Han, and Wei families divided the land of the Zhi family, and Zhao Xiangzi painted Zhibo's skull as drinking utensils. Zhibo's retainer Yu Rang wanted to avenge the Lord, so he disguised himself as a sinner, armed with a dagger, and mixed into Zhao Xiangzi's palace to clean the toilet. When Zhao Xiangzi went to the toilet, he suddenly felt uneasy, made people search, and captured Yu Rang. The left and right entourage wanted to kill him, and Zhao Xiangzi said: "Zhibo has no descendants, and this person still has to avenge him, he is really a righteous man, I should be careful to avoid him."
So release Yu Rang. Yu Rang painted his body with lacquer, made a leper patient, swallowed the charcoal, and muted his voice. Begging in the market, Lianfa can't recognize his wife when he meets him. On the way, I met a friend, and the friend recognized him and wept for him: "With your talent, if you join the Zhao family, you will definitely become a cronie, and then you will do whatever you want, isn't it easy?" Why bother to self-harm the body so much? Isn't it too difficult to plot revenge in this way!" Yu Rang said, "If I commit myself to the Zhao family as a courtier, and then assassinate him, I will have two hearts. It is extremely difficult for me to do this now. However, the reason for this is to make the world and the hereafter feel ashamed to be the subjects of men. Zhao Xiangzi traveled by car, and Yu Rang lurked under the bridge. When Zhao Xiangzi arrived at the bridge, Ma was suddenly frightened, searched, captured Yu Rang, and killed him.
【Analysis】Sima Qian recorded the deeds of the great hero Yu Rang in the "History of the Assassins". Yu Rang's chivalrous feat of avenging his son Zhi Yao, if analyzed only from the moral level, can not see the charm of Zhao Xiangzi's master of power schemes. Because this is most likely a bureau of Zhao Xiangzibu. And this exquisite layout, there are three possibilities.
Surrounded by masters, it will be gone
Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Put death and live later." If they push people too much and push their opponents to a cornered road where they can't see any hope, they will instead fight a battle behind their backs, break the cauldron, and break the net. Therefore, it is necessary to leave a gap for the encircled enemy army to escape, which is the so-called "encircled division". Leaving the enemy with hope of "life", they will not fight to the death and resist, but our side will win a big victory, and the price paid will not be too great, so as not to "hurt the enemy by a thousand and self-damage by eight hundred."
Zhao Xiangzi killed Zhibo and slaughtered the entire Zhi family, but only Fuguo was spared. This Fuguo, formerly known as Zhiguo, was originally a member of the Zhi family, and because of fundamental differences with the patriarch on the issue of establishing the family heir, he broke away from the Zhi clan and changed his surname to Fu. So it is basically possible to characterize Fuguo as an opposition within the Zhi clan. Zhao Xiangzi left the auxiliary fruit, which is a means to surround the master, to avoid breaking the remnants of the Zhi family and fighting to the death. In the future, it is even possible to manipulate the remnants of the Zhi clan by supporting auxiliary fruits to achieve the purpose of ruling "wisdom" with "wisdom". Attacking the opponent with a heavy fist, while actively wooing and supporting the opponent's internal opposition forces, such a method is not uncommon in ancient and modern China and abroad, and isn't the various "color revolutions" instigated by the United States the best example?
After talking about the auxiliary fruit, let's look at Yu Rang, the retainer of the Zhi clan. In fact, Yu Rang is also a chess piece under Zhao Xiangzi's layout, why do you say so? We often see such episodes in spy movies, deliberately neglecting, letting someone go, and then tracking him and finding his accomplices. Zhao Xiangzi actually played such a trick of wanting to catch and indulge, deliberately letting go of Yu Rang, and then sending someone to keep an eye on him, so when he mixed into Zhao's house, thinking that he had won and was about to succeed, he was caught by Zhao Xiangzi. As everyone knows, Yu Rang has long entered the bureau set up by Zhao Xiangzi. Then, Zhao Xiangzi deliberately showed his generosity, continued to release Yu Rang, and continued to send people to stare at him. Someone is staring, so no matter what he becomes, how can he escape Zhao Xiangzi's field of vision? Therefore, when he hid under the bridge, this information had already arrived in front of Zhao Xiangzi, so when the car walked to the bridge, he immediately found someone to search for Yu Rang and killed him directly. Yu Rang had long been played to death in the bureau set up by Zhao Xiangzi.
Black and white double reed
Zhao Xiangzi hated Zhibo to the bone, and also made his human skull into a wine cup, showing mercy to assassins like Yu Rang? As a politician, Zhao Xiangzi can wipe out the Zhi family, even children, such a cold person, will suddenly find his conscience? Another possible layout is that Zhao Xiangzi and Yu Rang are playing black and white double reeds. Caught Yu Rang, not immediately executed, but negotiated conditions. Either he died directly, and died in silence with a vendetta; Either he cooperates, dies to avenge the Lord's fame, dies with a bang, and leaves a name in history. At the same time, Zhao Xiangzi showed tolerance, showing that he was blessed by heaven, and deterred potential people who planned wrong. Two people hit it off and take what they need.
epilogue
Therefore, after the above analysis, we can see that Yu Rang's death is by no means as simple as revenge, but the power operation behind Zhao Xiangzi. As for what kind of operational means it is, this is not for the strategists to study, the strategists do not pursue historical truth and conclusions, but pursue the possibility and process of the means, and put forward the meaning of thinking training and guidance for our current operation. I hope this case can be used for everyone.
