Soldiers are not tired of deception is a kind of martial art adopted on the battlefield that we are very familiar with, which refers to the fact that as long as we win, we do not care about any means, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Era when the etiquette collapsed and the heroes were discussed by strength, but some people were dead-headed and did not change the war to "emphasize benevolence and righteousness", and this was Song Xianggong, one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In 652 BC, Song Xianggong, the eldest son of Song Xianggong, the eldest son of Song Xianggong, wanted to give up the position of prince to his eldest brother Muyi in front of Song Huan: "The eldest brother Muyi is older than me, and he is loyal and benevolent, please make the eldest brother Muyi the monarch of the country." ”
Who wants MuYi to also resign: "Isn't it the greatest benevolence to be able to cede the country to me?" No matter how benevolent I am, I can't catch up with my brother Zifu! Moreover, the abolition of concubines is not in line with the system. Father, this is absolutely impossible, and I will not promise my brother to give way to me as the monarch of the country." In order to escape, he also escaped from the Song Kingdom.
Mu Yi ran to Weiguo, and Song Xianggong had to succeed to the throne as the monarch, and Song Xianggong was also a capable monarch, but he was defeated by the idea of conservatism. In 643 BC, the overlord Duke Huan of Qi died, and the princes of the State of Qi all had civil unrest for the position of the monarch, and with the help of The Duke of Song Xianggong, they welcomed gongzi Zhao as the Prince of Qi, which was the Duke of Qi, and it was this incident that made the Duke of Song Xianggong famous, and everyone called him "the Prince of Benevolence and Righteousness." ”
In 641 BC, Song Xianggong wanted to seek hegemony after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, and invited the princes of several small states such as Wei, Yi, Cao, and Shui to join forces in Caonan, and in order to become the overlord Song Xianggong, he sacrificed the king of the state of Wei as a sacrifice. However, his desire to become a hegemon was soon shattered by the great powers of Qi, Chu, and Jin.
In 639 BC, Song Xianggong, in his capacity as a hegemon, invited the two great princes of Qi and Chu to meet in Ludi, and The eldest brother of Song Xianggong Muyi persuaded: "The Song Kingdom is a small country, and our Song State is going to bear the price for hegemony, the monarch is serious, plus the Chu State does not pay attention to credit, and on that day the monarch still brings an army to cope with all changes, and can prevent any changes."
But where could Song Xianggong still listen, he already only remembered to dominate and order the princes of the world, he retorted: "I proposed it myself not to bring an army to participate in the alliance, and I have made an agreement with the Chu people that everyone will not bring an army to participate, how can the king of my country not keep his word?" ”
On the same day, Song Xiangguo went to the appointment without bringing an army, and the King of Chu Cheng of the Chu State had already planted an army at the meeting place, and as soon as song Xianggong and the king of Chu Cheng fought with each other for hegemony, the king of Chu Cheng arrested Song Xianggong at the first order, and the princes of the small countries who came to participate did not dare to intercede for Song Xianggong, and they all sided with the king of Chucheng, and Song Xianggong was detained by the Chu state for a year before being released back to the Song kingdom.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > does not obey and does it, but speaks of "benevolence":</h1>
After Song Xianggong was detained in the State of Chu for a year, the State of Chu released him under the courtesy of the Duke of Lu, the ruler of the State of Lu. However, Song Xianggong was not convinced, so after returning to the Song Kingdom, he sent troops to attack zheng guo, and the reason for fighting Zheng guo was that Zheng Guo supported King Chu Cheng as the overlord of the princes.
Song Xianggong did not listen to his brother Muyi's words and insisted on fighting Zheng Guo, and when Zheng Guo heard that Song Guo had sent troops to attack, he immediately ran to The Chu State for help, and of course the Chu State also had to take care of Zheng Guo, the younger brother, and decisively sent the military general Cheng Dechen to lead the army to attack the Song Kingdom.
Song Xianggong, who was attacking Zheng Guo, heard that the State of Chu was going to attack the capital and quickly retreated, but in a place called Hongshui, he encountered the Chu army that came to save Zheng Guo, and the Song army quickly crossed the Hongshui River.
Mu Yi, who followed the crusade against Zheng Guo, suggested to Song Xianggong to quickly attack while the Chu army crossed the river, saying: Junshang, the Chu army is more numerous than our Song army, and it is quick to issue orders to destroy them when they cross the river, and if we wait for them to come ashore, we will not be able to defeat them.
Who expected Song Xianggong to say, "How can we, the Song army, which is known as the master of benevolence and righteousness, take advantage of the fact that others cross the river to attack?" At least wait for the people to cross the river, and wait until they are finished in the line before fighting, which is in line with the practice of our benevolent teachers. ”
If Song Xianggong watched the Chu army all cross the river and line up on the shore, the Chu army rushed up like a swarm of bees, the Song army was defeated and returned, and Song Xianggong was also shot by the Chu army.
Song Xianggong, who had suffered defeat, blamed his brother Muyi, and he taught Muyi: "A gentleman with a benevolent heart does not attack the enemy who has been injured in battle, nor does he attack the old man whose hair is gray." Especially in combat, if you don't rely on the barrier to win the victory, the widowed Song Kingdom will perish, and I can't bear to attack the enemy who has not laid out a good position.
The minister Ziyu retorted: Fighting a war is for the purpose of victory, and what is the way of a gentleman! If you really do what you say, it is better to go directly to the slave service, so why fight a war?
The author believes that the "benevolence" in song xianggong's mouth is just a false benevolence, and the simple value is that the spirit is commendable, but in that era, the princes of the world did not listen to zhou Tianzi's orders, but were fighting for hegemony with strength, what spirit of benevolence and righteousness did you Song Xianggong talk about? Therefore, Song Xianggong, you are just a false righteous teacher who wants to fake the name of a righteous teacher without the truth of the righteous teacher.
