Idiom story

In the struggle for hegemony, big powers annex small countries and expand their land. However, the vassals of the great powers had to enfeoffal the newly acquired land to the meritorious doctors. The doctor's power has grown. There are also frequent struggles between them. Domestic conflicts among big countries have become acute,

They all want to stop the war for hegemony for the time being.

For this reason, Xiang Shu, a senior official of the state of song, was a mediator between Jin and Chu.

In 546 B.C., Jin and Chu and several other countries held a "meeting to eliminate soldiers" in the state of song. At this meeting, the doctors of Jin and Chu made peace and made a treaty on behalf of the two groups. Except for Qi and Qin, every small country should pay tribute to Jin and Chu. There was no big war in the following 50 years.

After King Ping of Chu, the grandson of King Zhuang of Chu, ascended the throne, the state of Chu gradually declined. In 522 BC, King Ping of Chu wanted to abolish the original crown prince. At this time, Prince Jian and his teacher Wu she were guarding Chengfu (in Xiangcheng West, Henan Province). Fearing that Wu she would not agree, King Ping of Chu called Wu she and falsely said that Prince Jian was plotting a rebellion.

Wu she said nothing and was immediately put in prison.

On the one hand, King Ping of Chu sent people to kill Prince Jian, on the other hand, he forced Wu she to write a letter to his two sons Wu Shang and Wu Zixu, asking them to come back and get rid of them together. When his eldest son Wu Shang returned to Yingdu (now in the northwest of Jiangling, Hubei Province), he was killed by King Ping of Chu with his father Wu she. Prince Jian got wind in advance and fled to the state of song with his son Sheng.

Wu Zixu, another son of Wu she, also escaped from the state of Chu. He rushed to the state of song and found Prince Jian. Unfortunately, civil strife broke out in the state of song, and Wu Zixu fled to the state of Zheng with Prince Jian and Prince Sheng, hoping to ask the state of Zheng to avenge them. But Zheng Dinggong, the king of Zheng, did not agree.

Prince Jian was eager for revenge. He colluded with some ministers of the state of Zheng to seize the power of Zheng Dinggong, who killed him. Wu Zixu had no choice but to escape from the state of Zheng with gongzisheng and go to the state of Wu (the capital is Suzhou, Jiangsu).

King Ping of Chu had long ordered a reward to arrest Wu Zixu. He had his portrait painted and hung at the gates of cities all over the state of Chu.

After Wu Zixu and his son Sheng escaped from the state of Zheng, he hid in the daytime and drove to Zhaoguan (in the north of Hanshan County, Anhui Province) at the junction of Wu and Chu at night. The officials who closed the door were very careful. It is said that Wu Zixu couldn't sleep for several nights, and even his hair became white. Fortunately, they met a kind-hearted man, Duke Donggao, who sympathized with Wu Zixu and took him to his home. Donggao had a friend named huangfune, who looked a little like Wu Zixu. Duke Donggao asked him to pass as Wu Zixu. The guard catches the fake Wu Zixu, but the real Wu Zixu, because his hair is all white and his face has changed, can't recognize him, so he goes out of the gate.

Wu Zixu went out of Zhaoguan and ran forward in a hurry, fearing that there were pursuers behind him. Ahead is a big river blocking the way. Wu Zixu was in a hurry when an old fisherman rowed a small boat over the river to take Wu Zixu across the river.

After crossing the river, Wu Zixu was very grateful. He took off his sword and gave it to the old fisherman. He said, "this sword was given to my grandfather by the king of Chu. It's worth 100 taels of gold.

It's for you. It's a token of my heart. "

The old fisherman said, "in order to hunt you down, the king of Chu gave you a reward of 50000 stone grains and promised to be granted the title of informer doctor. I'm not greedy for this reward and title. Would I want your sword? "

Wu Zixu quickly made amends to the old fisherman, took his sword and left.

When Wu Zixu arrived in the state of Wu, the prince Guang of the state of Wu was just about to seize the throne. With the help of Wu Zixu, the young master killed Wang Liao of Wu and made himself king. This is Helu, king of Wu.

After he Lu, king of Wu, ascended the throne, he appointed Wu Zixu as a doctor to help him deal with state affairs, and also used a general, Sun Wu, who was a great military strategist. Relying on Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, the king of Wu reorganized his troops and first annexed several neighboring small countries.

In 506 BC, King Helu of Wu worshipped Sun Wu as the general and Wu Zixu as the deputy general. He personally led the army to attack the state of Chu, winning battles and defeating the state of Chu until Yingdu.

At that time, King Ping of Chu had died, and his son king Zhao of Chu had fled. Wu Zixu hated King Ping of Chu, planed his grave, dug out his body and beat him severely.
