Yuewang city site

The Yuewang city site is located at the top of the City mountain in Xiaoshan District and Xianghu tourist resort, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, with an altitude of 128 meters. It is an important military castle where King Gou Jian stationed troops to fight against Wu. It is known as "a famous mountain in the Zhou Dynasty and the yuedai Dynasty".

The area of the city is about 20000 square meters. The total length of the city wall is about 1091 meters. The bottom width of the remaining wall is 8-10 meters, the upper width is 1-2 meters, and the height is 3-5 meters. The middle is low and the surrounding height is high. The upper part is the artificially rammed wall. The plane is in the shape of a horizontal gourd. The inner part of the wall is gentle and the outer part is steep. There are springs and pools in the city, and there is a passageway between the north and South ridges, which is called "Mamen". On the stone wall of Mamen, the original "Jincheng Yuyu" cliff stone carving was destroyed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Ximachi and the king of Yue

Xima pool is located in the Yuewang city of Xianghu Lake, close to the Mamen. To the west, there is a free pool and Goujian temple. Goujian temple was rebuilt in the early 1990s and is now rebuilt. Ximachi was the place where King Gou Jian of Yue refused to take "Jiayu" from Wu. It is said that "when Wu was rejected by Yue, Wu thought that Yue's troops were short of water, so he took the salt fish as the feed, and the more Pisces he took to answer the state of Wu, so he got rid of the siege."

As a gift of salt fish, I think there is no water in Yuewang city! Because salted fish is very salty, you dare not eat it. It was first written in the local records of Kuaiji by Chen Xiahou of the Southern Dynasty that the king of Wu gave salt (FISH) as a gift to the king of Wu. Over the top of the mountain there is a well, unfathomable, more than two Zhang wide, in many fish. I take a pair of carp for Wu. There was water in Wuzhi City, so he went away. It can be said that at that time, King Wu was really "fainted" by the return gift of King Yue. It turns out that there is water on the mountain. Why didn't I think of it?! He thought that if we were surrounded, we would lose both sides. We soldiers have been fighting for several months since we came out of our hometown in Suzhou. They died, were injured, and were sick. Many parents, wives and children of the dead soldiers still don't know that their relatives have died in the battle. Let them hurry back to their hometown. There are also many soldiers who are tired of fighting for a long time. They miss their wives and children, and they miss their parents and villagers. If they are surrounded endlessly, the soldiers will complain and their morale will be lax. It's better to go back and recuperate and fight again. In fact, Fucha was a kind king, not as cruel as his father Helu. When he thought about it, he waved his hand: "turn around! (Suzhou dialect: go back), Gou Jian's "pig head three" (pig head three) comes from the sacrifice of Wu and Yue in ancient times. There are three things necessary for sacrifice: a pig's head, a chicken feather and a fish, which are collectively called "three animals". Pig head is the first, so it is also called "pig head three animals". Later, it refers to those who are stupid, unintelligible, and a little silly We'll deal with him next year. "

"The king of Yue fed the fish and retreated the enemy" actually owes it to the two fish in ximachi. Two fish saved the lives of 3000 soldiers of the Yue army, and two fish saved the people of the whole Yue country. If you think about it carefully, these two fish are even greater and more effective than Xi Shi's "beauty trick" into Wu. This is the wisdom of the Yue people, the wisdom of the Yue monarchs and ministers. The king of Yue left the most valuable enlightenment to later generations. The historical records of ximachi, the city of King Yue, can be found in the local records of Kuaiji written by Chen Xiahou of the Southern Dynasty: "King Wu gave salt (FISH) to the king of Yue as a gift. Over the top of the mountain there is a well, unfathomable, more than two Zhang wide, in many fish. I take a pair of carp for Wu. There was water in the city of Wuzhi, so he went away. " Among them, Chengshan, the seven unique works of Huazhen in the Northern Song Dynasty, vividly describes the story of Feiyu's retreat from the enemy: "the strategists have won over many old schools, and they are generous and generous. Slow report a pair of Wen Koi, sit back to 100000 water rhinoceros army The difference is that some of the historical materials are written as "Jiayu" (Jiayu recorded in ancient books is Hujiayu, belonging to Siniperca chuatsi family), and some are written as carp. But no matter what kind of fish it is, it doesn't matter. The key is that there is really a plan of "King Yue feeding fish to retreat from the enemy", which is an excellent plan.
