"The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." King Yue can only share weal and woe, not happiness, why don't you leave him quickly?"
In 468 BC, after Fan Li assisted Goujian, the king of Yue, to successfully restore the country, he immediately made up his mind to leave the king of Yue, and at the same time, he also wrote such a letter to his friend Wenzhong.
Fan Li met very early with the literary species, when Fan Li was only 20 years old, although he was born poor, but smart and studious, followed the teacher Ji Ranzi to learn a lot of strategies for governing the country.
At that time, Wen Chong was serving as the commander of Chu Guowan, and he immediately went to see Fan Li after hearing about Fan Li's talent. The two of them cherished each other, introduced each other as confidants, and later went to Yue together to assist King Goujian of Yue.
After the war between the Yue Kingdom and the Wu State continued, and the Yue Kingdom experienced a major defeat, the Yue King Goujian finally realized the cleverness of Fan Li and Wenzhong's strategy, and then began to reuse the two.
Because of Fan Li and Wen Chong's advice, Gou Jian sacrificed himself to Wu and worked as a slave engaged in miscellaneous labor for Wu Wangfu. Although Gou Jian is respectful and obedient to his husband on the surface, he is always planning a plan to take revenge and restore the country in his heart.
After many years of lying on the salary and trying the courage to share the weal and sorrow with the people, the Yue Kingdom gradually became stronger, and the King of Yue finally waited for the opportunity to fight with the Wu State, successfully captured the capital of the Wu State, and the Wu State perished.
In the long process of successful restoration, Fan Li and the strategy of Wen Chong played a very important role. Gou Jian knew this very well, so when he realized his grand ambition, he immediately made a solemn promise to Fan Li: "I want to divide the country for you!"
Fan Li and Gou Jian have worked together for many years, how can he not understand Gou Jian's character and personality? Therefore, although Gou Jian said solemnly, Fan Li is not gullible, he quietly dotted the gold and silver, and then took his family to sail the sea together, and never returned to Gou Jian.
Fan Li did not forget his good friend Wen Chong, he wrote a letter to Wen Chong: "The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." King Yue's appearance is long-necked and beaked, he can only share hardships and hardships, not happiness, why don't you leave him quickly?"
After Wen Chong saw Fan Li's letter, he really said that he was ill, but even so, he could not escape Gou Jian's poisonous hands, and was soon persuaded to die by King Yue's sword.
Fan Li, who flew away, went into business three times, and became extremely rich three times, and lived until he was 88 years old.
Fan Li followed Ji Ranzi to learn the classic wisdom of Taoism, and his choice to leave Gou Jian also reflects the "Tao Te Ching" advocated by the "success of the body" of the wisdom of "retirement".
The wisdom of the Tao Te Ching is obviously not limited to this, "knowing the male and guarding the female, knowing the white and keeping the black, knowing the honor and guarding the humiliation", "the weak is better than the strong" are all the classic theories, the people who have benefited from the wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching" in history are not limited to Fan Li, there are more celebrities who have made extraordinary achievements have studied and studied the theory and applied it in practice, so as to achieve a more complete state of life.
