He Lv, the king of Wu, died after his right foot was cut off in the war with Yue. Grandson Fu Cha succeeded to the throne (Prince Bo died young). When he died, he warned Fu Cha: Don't forget to take revenge!
After Forza buried his grandfather, he sent ten waiters to stand in court in turn. Every time I pass by, I shout loudly: Fucha! Did you forget that the King of Yue killed your grandfather? Then answer yourself: ah! Dare not forget. Take this as a warning to stimulate his ambition. Wu Zixu and Abel were ordered to train sailors in Taihu Lake. He also built a shooting shed on Lingyan Mountain to train soldiers to shoot.
At the end of three years' mourning, Fu Cha sent troops to attack Yue and avenged his grandfather. He led the soldiers of the whole country, with Wu Zixu as the general and Ai Bo as the deputy, and attacked the whole country from Taihu Lake.
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, called ministers to discuss countermeasures. Fan Li said: Wu Jun has the ambition to avenge the king, and his anger is overwhelming. He should rally his troops and stick to it to avoid its sharpness. Wen Zi said: It is better to apologize humbly, call a truce and make peace, and then plan in Xu Tu after Wu Jun withdraws. Gou Jian didn't take their advice and raised 30,000 soldiers from all over the country to fight Wu Jun. As a result, he was defeated and 5,000 down archers were trapped in Kuaiji Mountain. Gou Jian regrets that he didn't listen to Dr. Fan and Dr. Wen, so that he fell into this desperate situation.
Wen Zhong made a suggestion: The situation is very critical, so make peace with the prince of Wu as soon as possible.
Gou Jian asked: What if the King of Wu refused?
According to the genre, Ai Bo, the ruler of the State of Wu, is greedy for money and lust, jealous of virtue and talent, and is in the same dynasty as Zi Xu, but his interests are different. Wu Zixu has a strong personality. The prince of Wu dare not discuss state affairs with Wu Zixu, but he almost trusts his uncle. If the secret meeting is too cruel, win his favor, first reach an oral agreement with him, and then he will persuade the prince, but the prince won't listen, and Wu Zixu will stop it. This won't do.
Gou Jian said, what are you going to give Taizai?
Wen Zi said: There is a lack of women in the army. If you give him a beautiful young woman, you will succeed.
Gou Jian sent someone to Beijing overnight, and asked his wife to choose eight stunning beauties in the palace, dressed in luxurious costumes. Wen Zi took them, together with twenty pairs of white jade and thousands of gold, and quietly entered the Taizai camp at night. Wen Zi said to him, The monarch of our country is young and ignorant, and he didn't serve the King of Wu respectfully, so he was found guilty. Now Gou Jian, the King of Yue, regrets it and is willing to lead the whole country to submit to the King of Wu. He was worried that the king of Wu would not accept it, so he sent me to visit you first. You are the trusted minister of the king of Wu, who will listen to you. I hope you can put in a good word for Gou Jian in front of the king of Wu, and let him wait on him. Please accept this small gift, and it will continue to be given to you in the future.
Ai Bo pretended to be angry and said, "Yue is going to die, and all the wealth will go to Wu." . What's the use of bribing me with this?
Wen Zi said: There are still 5,000 elite soldiers in Yue, which is still worth fighting for. Even if defeated, the gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse will sink to the bottom of the river. How can you say it belongs to Wu? Besides, even if these things are captured by the state of Wu, it will be your turn and the generals' turn at most, and the rest will belong to the king of Wu. On the other hand, if you succeed in making peace for Gou Jian, the beautiful treasures of Yue will be given to you first, and then to the king of Wu. Speaking of Ai Bo's heart, he promised to intercede for Gou Jian, the king of Yue, in front of the king of Wu. The next day. Uncle took Wen Zi to Zhong Jun, where the prince of Wu lived. Uncle advanced to tell Fu Cha that Gou Jian, the King of Yue, had sent Wen Zi to surrender. The prince of Wu was furious and said, The more bitter I am with him, how can I allow him to make peace?
Abreu said, Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Sun Wu said? Soldiers and killing weapons can be used temporarily, but not for a long time. It was in this kind of war that the late Wang Lu was injured and died. Your majesty, you can't make any mistakes. The more troops with 5000 people, the more animals are trapped. Besides, Gou Jian's defeat will burn the ancestral temple, kill his wife and sink precious jade into the river. Although the State of Wu destroyed Yue, it achieved nothing. Now that the language is harmonious, the King of Yue is willing to submit himself to the State of Wu. Gou Jian invited Wu Fei, his wife, to collect all the treasures of Yue State and present them to Wu Palace. The more you fall, the richer the income; Forgive the crime of crossing and make a name for yourself. Fame and fortune, Wu Can dominates the princes, why not? Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, heard the analysis of Eber's gains and losses, and found it very reasonable. So he summoned Wen Zi and agreed to hand over Gou Jian, the King of Yue. In this way, the state of Yue was immortal, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and his ministers were spared.
At the critical moment of life and death, the state of Yue and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, have a deep understanding of Fu Cha, Prime Minister Wu Zixu, Taizaibo and their relationship, so they can open a gap from the greedy and lecherous Bo and give Yue a precious breathing space. The price was that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, endured humiliation and served Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and continuously delivered American goods to Wu. After three years of hard work, Gou Jian finally returned to China.
Before Gou Jian went to Wu, he called ministers to arrange state affairs. Wen Zhong said: Within the four borders, civil affairs are inferior to minister affairs. Dealing with you, improvising, I'm not as good as you. Fan Li said: a scholar can govern the country, and a master entrusts state affairs, so that the war of ploughing can be prepared and the people can be close to each other. As for assisting the Lord in times of crisis, I will bear the burden of humiliation and return it when I go. I dare not resign even if I take revenge on you.
Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was very lucky to have two top intelligence experts at that time, who always helped her. Otherwise, not only can Wu's hegemony not be destroyed, but the country will perish.
Literary wisdom focuses on running the country, while Fan Li's wisdom focuses on running the army. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and Fan Li, the minister, stayed in Wu for three years. They went through hardships, gained the sympathy and trust of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and were released back to China. Due to the unity of the monarch and the minister, various measures were taken to develop production and increase population, which made the national strength of Vietnam steadily improve.
Wen Zi heard that Fu Cha, the king of Wu, wanted to build a palace to entertain himself. He said to Gou Jian, King of Yue: Smell birds fly high and die of delicious food; Fish in the abyss died of incense bait. Since you want to repay Wu, you must do what you like first, and then take control of your life. Gou Jian said: Although he knows what he wants, how can he control his life?
Wen Zhong said: I have seven strategies to destroy Wu. First, please the monarch and ministers of Wu with money and things, so that they will always have a good impression on Yue. Second, buy their grain at a high price and empty their reserves. Third, send beautiful women, confuse their minds and slack off their fighting spirit. Fourth, choose and send craftsmen and materials to build palaces extensively, which will waste their lives and money and weaken their national strength. Fifth, the strategy of bribing courtiers to disturb the monarch. Six, try to let Prince Wu Ci die to admonish the minister (Wu Zixu) and weaken his assistance. Seven, secretly collect money to train, destroy Wu as king.
Gou Jian was very excited after hearing this and told the ministers to carry it out one by one.
Wen Zi's seven moves are quite insidious. On the surface, it flatters the princes and ministers of Wu, but in fact, it helps them enjoy themselves, confuses their minds, forgets to govern the country and strengthen the army, and finally achieves the goal of weakening Wu, annihilating at one fell swoop and dominating the princes.
One year, Wen Zi suggested to Gou Jian, the king of Yue, that "we borrowed 10,000 pieces of grain from the State of Wu on the grounds of the poor harvest, and told them to pay it back in full next year. Next year, when there is a bumper harvest, we will cook the millet back. Wait until it is almost cooked before drying, and the particles are large and full. They will be used as seeds, which will lead to no harvest. Wen Zi this recruit is extremely vicious.
Because Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and Aibo, the Taizai, liked Yue's monarch and subjects very much, they lent him mangoku grain. The next year, Yue returned the steamed rice to Wu, and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, was very happy when he saw that the millet in Yue was big and full, so he asked farmers to use it as seeds. As a result, there was a famine all over the country. So the king of Wu sent someone to borrow food from Yue, who refused because he could not support himself.
From the brink of national subjugation, the state of Yue learned the lessons of ten years, lived together for ten years, and gradually turned from weak to strong. On the contrary, the State of Wu rose from prosperity to decline, and was finally destroyed by the State of Yue. In the whole process, literary genre played a key role, and its extraordinary wisdom was fully demonstrated. Of course, the successful implementation of his wisdom is based on two aspects: First, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was fearless in times of crisis, good at listening to and adopting the suggestions of courtiers, and had a broad mind and long-term vision of eloquence. Secondly, Fu Cha of the State of Wu is as ignorant and groggy as his grandfather said. Not only did he not listen to the opinions of loyal ministers, but he also put Prime Minister Wu Zixu to death. However, Bo Zhen, the minister who harmed the monarch and the people, gained his trust and reuse, which eventually led to the ruin of the country.
Although literary genre has great wisdom, it also has shortcomings. He won't back down after his success, and as a result, he became a victim of "a hundred birds hide with a bow, and a rabbit dies and a dog cooks." After the destruction of Dongwu, and in order to save his own life, he left the country of Yue and went boating in the lake and sea. He wrote to Wen Zi of the State of Qi, saying: The king of Yue has a bird's eye view of the eagle, and the wolf walks in a tiger's gait. He can only bear hardships, but can't enjoy them together. He must leave as soon as possible or he will be killed. After reading the language, I said that I was sick and didn't go to Korea. Wen Zi was accused of rebellion. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, gave the sword a literary form and said, "You broke the seven strategies of Wu, and I only used three to destroy Wu." . The remaining four can be used by the late king.
Wenzhong had to draw his sword and kill himself.
