1. both civil and military, and went to @ Yue for hegemony at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Ming Dynasty. Because of its unexpected twists and turns, it is well known to future generations. Moreover, because of intrigue and intrigue, the whole history is quite dramatic, and the characters appearing on this stage deserve careful study. Among all the roles, Fan Li is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.
Fan Li was a famous politician, thinker and strategist in the pre-Qin period. Shao Bo was born in Wanyi (now Nanyang, Henan), a native of Chu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born in neixiang county, Wanxian County, and was born in poverty. Parents died early and were brought up by their brothers and sisters. When Fan Li was a child, he was very talented, knowledgeable, fond of reading, ambitious, unwilling to farm and looked down upon by his neighbors. Fan Li said: How do you know my ambition? He studied a lot of books, such as books, Yi, poems and so on, and learned a lot of historical knowledge and theory of governing the country. Fan Li not only got "Holding Classics after the Wind", but also studied Jiang Taigong's art book "Six Towers and Three Views". Jiang Taigong regards the development of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce as the three magic weapons of military strategy, and spoke highly of these models. Later, Jiang Taigong's thoughts had a great influence on Fan Li, whether in managing the family or the country.
At that time, a famous financial planner (Wen Zi, author of Xin, a famous figure in the Spring and Autumn Period) traveled to Nanyang, worshipped him as a teacher, and learned economic knowledge and business skills from him.
When he was young, Fan Li was well-informed, intelligent and wise, and a saint. Plus he is proficient in fencing, which can be said to be both civil and military. However, at that time, the politics of Chu was dark, and officials were not allowed to be elected. Fan Li was not appointed because of his literary talent. There is no way to serve the country, which makes Fan Li degenerate, do things out of date and often do many unexpected things. He is crazy and eccentric. He is a famous madman in Chu, and his neighbors call him Fan Crazy.
During the reign of King Jing of Chu, the literati of Chu (Zi and Chu) went to Wan to be an official. He was knowledgeable and ambitious, and wanted to be promoted in Beijing, but because he was not from a noble background, he was sent to a small border town as a city magistrate (equivalent to today's county magistrate). Only literary talents can govern the country, and it is naturally easy to govern the city now. Shortly after taking office, the people of Wan Yi were calm. Language leisure, visit everywhere. One is to inspect the administration, and the other is to visit the virtuous. When he heard that Fan Li, a disciple of Bailichanghe, had a wizard, he sent a small official to Gong Fan Village to summon him. The deacon went to Gongfan Village, but Fan Li disappeared. The deacon replied to Wen Zhong: Everyone in the village said that Fan Li was crazy, so there was no need to summon him again. Wen Zhong said with a smile, I heard that smart people are easy to be laughed at by lunatics, but people with original ideas in their hearts are destroyed by ignorance outside. You don't understand. Prepare a car tomorrow, and I'll pay tribute to him myself.
The next day, Wenzhong came to Gongfan Village by bus and asked about Fan Li's residence. The villagers told me that it was in the northwest corner of the village. Wenzhong got off the bus and walked to Fan Li's home. When I went outside Fan Li's house, suddenly a big black dog jumped out of the door and barked.
Wen Zi and the deacon were stunned at first, but on closer inspection, they all wore dog skins to learn to bark. Subordinates said: This is Fan Li. All the neighbors gathered around to watch the fun. Afraid that Wen Zi would feel ashamed when he heard this, his minions covered Fan Li with clothes. Wen Zi refused to hide it. He said, I heard that dogs bark at people. He is a human being, but he barks at me like a dog, which shows that I am a human being and respect me! So he calmly got off to meet Fan Li, knowing that Wen Zi was not a weak official. He laughed so much that it was no longer a gift, so he hurried away.
The villagers laughed. Laughing at literary style is too stupid, laughing at Fan Li is too crazy.
Fan Li's purpose of welcoming guests with barking dogs is to test the language. At the beginning, he knew that the style of writing was virtuous, but he couldn't do it, but he was not sure at all. Things are difficult, the world is cold, the heart is not connected, and it is impossible to be intimate. The deacon called him genre, but he avoided it to see if genre was sincere. Come in person if you are sincere. When Wenzhong came, he saw it at the head of the village and decided to bark with dog skin temporarily to see if Wenzhong understood it. Wen Zi really realized that he was a saint and bowed down to himself in the laughter of the villagers, which was a fool. Fan Li speculates that Wen Zi will definitely come again tomorrow, because he is a sincere friend and understanding. So tomorrow, let's try to see if the language is intimate. Know yourself and know yourself, that is, know yourself and go through fire and water. In today's troubled times, it is worthwhile to make a heart-to-heart friend, even if there is no great future.
That night, Fan Li cleared his mind. After breakfast the next day, Fan Li said to his brother and sister-in-law: A wise man came to see me today. Please lend me a clean coat and hat. Fan Li's brothers and sisters are honest and kind people, and they often worry about their future in private. The day before yesterday, officials came to see me and pretended to be a dog yesterday. I really don't understand what my brother really wants to do. Anyone else will go to Wancheng. Still waiting for the city order to pay homage? Yesterday, the city magistrate left with laughter, but he was not angry. Can he come again today? But the younger brother said it, and it was often accurate, so they didn't say anything more. Brother Fanshui went to the market with a basket. Sister-in-law rummaged around the house to see if there were any suitable clothes. Finally, I found an old dress that Fan Li's father wore when he went out to meet guests. Although it's a little big, it's much better than the rags worn by Fan Li.
When Wen Zi came, Fan Li had just dressed up. After the conversation, both of them felt reunited after a long separation and became lifelong bosom friends. Therefore, Wen Zi recommended him to the King of Chu, and Fan Li started his career. But later, Wu She, a loyal minister of Chu, was killed, which cast a shadow on Fan Li's mind. He realized the decline of Chu and the political darkness. Finally, he found a literary genre to express his feelings. They abandoned Chu together and went to Yue State. At that time, it was the Spring and Autumn Period, and the princes competed for hegemony. Wuyue's momentum is already very strong, and there are constant wars all the year round. Yue has always been eager for talents. The arrival of Fan Li and Wen Zi made the King of Yue very happy. They talked about world affairs with each other, which was deeply imprinted in their hearts. So the King of Yue appointed Fan Li and Wen Zi as doctors and became the right-hand man of Gou Jian.
Since ancient times, there are really not many people like Fan Li. It is always a rare thing to pretend to be a dog to greet guests. Of course, only knowledgeable and broad-minded people will do this. As the literary genre says, talented people are bound to be arrogant when they do things. They often have original opinions and often give people a feeling of arrogance and ignorance in their behavior. Yes! Which normal person is willing to pretend to be a dog to welcome distinguished guests, isn't this throwing sewage on himself? But how many people can really understand Fan Li's painstaking efforts?
Second, foresight, resilience "Historical Records, the Family of Gou Jian, the King of Yue" records that Fan Li worked hard for Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and worked hard with him for more than 20 years. He actually killed Wu, which was a disgrace to the society. Soldiers in the north crossed the Huaihe River to face Qi Jin, ordered China to respect Zhou Shi and Gou Jian to seek hegemony, while Fan Li.
In 496 BC, after the death of Betty Wong, his son Gou Jian succeeded to the throne. After he succeeded to the throne, Gou Jian presided over military affairs together with Fan Li and government affairs together with Wen Zi, so as to revitalize Yue. At that time, he Yun, the king of Wu, was in a new state of mourning. He wanted to destroy Yue while its people were unstable, so he sent troops to attack Yue. However, the Vietnamese army took advantage of Wu Jun's negligence and used sneak attack tactics to beat the powerful Wu Jun to flight. He Lv, the prince of Wu, was also seriously injured. After returning to the capital Gusu (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province), he died of his injuries. Later, his son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne and was determined to take revenge. Since then, the State of Wu and the State of Yue have become inseparable feuds.
In 494 BC, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, wanted to send troops to attack Wu before it was ready. Trying to convince him, Wu has been training for almost three years. This time, I am determined to take revenge, and it is fierce. We might as well hold the city and not fight them. However, Gou Jian disagreed and vowed to fight the people of Wu. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, mobilized 30,000 elite soldiers from all over the country to attack the State of Wu in the north, and fought against the Fujiao (the name of Zhongshan in Taihu Lake). As a result, Gou Jian suffered a crushing defeat, leaving only 5,000 down soldiers, retreating to Huiji Mountain (now in central Zhejiang, the main peak is in the northwest of Shengxian County), surrounded by Wu Jun, and in a desperate situation.
Goujian, who was in a hurry, thought about it but could do nothing. So I asked Fan Li, because I didn't listen to you, what should we do now? Fan Li's brilliance finally shows that he didn't give up because of the previous events. Knowing that a person can be flexible or profound, he suggested to Gou Jian: when people are waiting for a period, they should endure their humiliation and take advantage of their defeat ... If they are full and don't overflow, they are in the same boat, and God will bless them. The earth can do anything. People should be thrifty, so that they can get the land, help the crisis and be humble. He told Gou Jian that the more successful you are, the more wuyue will fail, and suggested that he should turn to serve the king of Wu. In this way, you can bend and stretch. Gou Jian listened to the plan, sent a doctor to make peace with Wu, bribed Wu Taizai with beautiful women and treasures, so that the king of Wu pardoned the king of Yue, and Gou Jian and his wife Wu became hostages. Therefore, Fan Li entered Wu with the King of Yue and worked as a servant for three years, ready to be humiliated. In 490 BC, Gou Jian and Fan Li were finally released to China.
After being released back to China, Fan Li and Wen Zi made a general plan for Gou Jian, that is, to unite with Qi and Jin Chu, ostensibly belittle Fu Cha, the king of Wu, secretly accumulate strength, and destroy Wu Jiu with prosperity. They are the planners and organizers of the 10-year reunion and 10-year lessons of Vietnam. In order to implement the strategy of destroying Wu, which is one of the nine strategies, Fan Li personally crossed mountains and rivers, and finally met Shihe, two young women with both virtue, talent and beauty, in Zhuluoshan, and presented them to Fu Cha together with a large number of treasures to paralyze Fu Cha. After years of hard work, the state of Yue was greatly ruled.
In 482 BC, Fu Cha led Wu Jun to the north for hegemony and joined the Jin and Qi congresses in Huangchi, leaving the domestic elite empty.
Gou Jian seized this opportunity, held a swearing-in meeting at home, and sent 50,000 troops to raid Wu. Wu Jun was caught off guard and completely defeated, and even the prince of Wu was killed. After hearing the news, Fu Cha made a peace treaty with Qi Jin in a hurry and led the army to rescue him. This time, Gou Jian was slow and steady, and was in no hurry to achieve success. He unified his forces, avoided Wu's fierce attack, and temporarily withdrew to the country to wait for the opportunity.
In 478 BC, there was a drought in Wu, and the gentry stopped evil and died in Qi Jin. Gou Jian thought the time had come, so he led an army to attack Wu. The two armies of wuyue fought in Lisava (near Suzhou). In this campaign, the Vietnamese army used the fashionable night attack to cross the river for the first time, and adopted the tactics of feint with two wings and breakthrough by the central government, which caused heavy losses to Wu Jun and almost wiped out the whole army. Gou Jian's winning streak surrounded Suzhou, the capital of Wu. In the third year of Zhou Yuanwang (473 BC), the Vietnamese army besieged Wudu for three years. Fu Cha sent messengers to make peace, and Gou Jian wanted to make a promise. He believed that Yue was lucky enough not to be destroyed by Wu, and he was determined to destroy Wu for a long time. How could he miss this opportunity, make the enemy suffer, and urge Gou Jian to make up his mind and finally destroy Wu? Fu Cha was filled with remorse and died by committing suicide.
This is a very representative story in the history of China. Although this story has left us for thousands of years, it is still talked about by people!
In this regard, every step of the plan has Fan Li's strategy. Knowing that the prince of Wu was lustful and greedy, he suggested that Gou Jian send some beautiful women and gold, silver and jewels to Fu Cha, and let Fu Cha let them go, and Gou Jian did so. The result was completely expected by Fan Li. On the other hand, without Fan Li's wise reminder, Gou Jian would blindly fight Fu Cha desperately. Imagine, how could he get an A under such a blind impulse? This incident also has a lot to do with Gou Jian's crushing defeat of Wu Jun. In real life, there are people with such developed minds who can use their wisdom to keep themselves alive.
In this war, Gou Jian's victory is related to his own spirit of not forgetting national humiliation. He won without arrogance, like Fu Cha, the king of Wu, but he won without arrogance and lost with grace: he tasted bitter fruit before meals every day and dressed simply, which showed his determination to recapture the great country.
Through the above analysis, the war between Vietnam and Wu is a contest of wisdom. A little negligence, the spearhead of failure will point to you, and you will always be accused of incompetence!
