Chapter 143 Sun Wu fled Huaihe River and Cui Zhu killed the king
In the autumn of the 41st year of Duke Xiang of Huaizhuang, Wang Jin passed away.
The posthumous name is Zhuang Xiang. The person with a strong will to defeat the enemy is called Zhuang; the person with virtue and dignity is called Zhuang; the person with respect and solemnity is called Zhuang; the person with Duan Ke and the people is called Zhuang; the person with virtue in opening up land is called Xiang; the person with meritorious deeds is called Xiang; the person with great power and virtue is called Zhuang.
Xiang.
Duke Xiang of Huaizhuang ascended the throne at a young age. He pacified the Yue Kingdom in the south, merged with Chaoxu in the west, retreated from the Jin Kingdom, and saved the Song Kingdom. He Xingxue Palace reigned for forty-one years, and the Huai Kingdom prospered day by day.
Wang Jin passed away and Prince Wang Qi came to the throne.
The Huaiguo Academy has developed into a world-famous academy after Zhuang Xianggong's era. Every year, students from all over the country come to study. Because of the large number of people coming, the housing prices in Huai'an become more expensive.
However, this has no impact on the natives of the Huai State. After all, they have dormitories prepared by the public office to live in. As for the students who come to study, it will be a lot sad. The Huai State only prepares residences for outstanding talents who pass the examination, and even more
If there are too many people, they can only rent houses.
Although Duke Zhuang Xiang passed away several years ago, his successor Wang Qi did not reduce the supply of Huaiguo Academy.
In the Huai Palace, Wang Qi was reading the slips just sent by the secretary.
"The military is a major event for the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival. We must pay attention to it. The beginning points out the importance of military affairs. This man has great talent." Wang Qi said in surprise.
The art of military use is extensive and profound. Although the Huai State has many military books, when I saw this military book, I still found it shocking.
"Which great sage wrote this book?" Wang Qi asked.
"Your Majesty, it was written by a great sage from the State of Qi, named Sun Wu!" the attendant replied.
Wang Qi was slightly stunned and continued: "Qi State actually has such a great talent, so why did he let him go?"
"If this person is here, Qi will only be able to regain Duke Huan's hegemony in a matter of seconds, and his army will be even more powerful. Jin and Chu cannot compete with him. Even if we, the Huai State, fight in a normal battle, we will not be its opponent."
"Qi State does not need this person, so he should fall into the quagmire." Wang Qi shook his head and said. "If this person is willing to become an official in Huaihe, he is willing to serve as a general!"
Wang Qi is very aware of Sun Wu's role, such as Confucius' royal way, or Li Er's natural method, letting nature take its course to govern the country, and almost no princes will use it. These methods are good, but the results are slow, and they are simply impossible in this era.
No one will use it.
But Sun Wu's military strategy is the way to build a strong army. As long as Sun Wu's book is known to others, these princely states will definitely flock to him and regard him as their general. Thinking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but said immediately:
"Take the orphan to meet this great sage." Wang Qi said.
The attendant immediately took Wang Qi to the Huaiguo Academy. Soon Wang Qi saw Sun Wu. At this time, Sun Wu looked thirty years old and handsome, but he looked a little downcast.
Wang Qi came to meet him in person and was obviously shocked.
"Huaigong came in person, Wu Shao didn't dare to accept it!" Sun Wu looked at Wang Qi in surprise.
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "If you are able to write this book, you are already a sage in this world, and your skills in military use are the best! Such a great sage should be greeted by others!"
The two entered the house, and Wang Qi asked about Sun Wu. Sun Wu was originally from the Qi State. Unfortunately, since Qi Qinggong, the Qi State has not been peaceful. Qi Linggong was ambitious and talented, and he attacked other countries many times, but failed repeatedly.
Later, he hesitated on the issue of establishing an heir.
As a result, the government of Qi State was in chaos. Sun Wu fled Qi State with his family and went south to Huai State.
Not long after he left, Lu Gou, the son of Duke Ling of Qi, with the help of Cui Zhu, killed Duke Ling of Qi's favorite son, who was also his younger brother, while Duke Ling of Qi was seriously ill. Duke Ling of Qi vomited blood and died after hearing this.
, then Lu Gou ascended the throne with the help of Cui Zhu.
It's just that Lu Gou inherited the problem of his ancestors and liked other people's wives. Cui Zhu was the victim. Cui Zhu's wife was very beautiful. The Marquis of Qi often used to go to Cui Zhu's home to have an affair with his wife. This Marquis of Qi
It's just a matter of having an affair, and she also likes to do things with her husband's ex-husband.
It can be said that he made his affair with Cui Zhu's wife known to everyone. He also rewarded Cui Zhu's hat to others.
A normal person would not be able to bear such humiliation, not to mention that Cui Zhu was kind to him. He was the one who personally helped the Marquis of Qi to become the king. I don’t know if Cui Zhu later regretted choosing him.
Later, the Marquis of Qi invited Ju Jun to a banquet, and Cui Zhu refused to go because he was ill. The Marquis of Qi took the opportunity to visit Cui Zhu and had a tryst with his wife again.
Cui Zhu immediately closed the door and led his retainers to kill the Marquis of Qi. After killing the Marquis of Qi, Cui Zhu supported the Marquis of Qi's younger brother to succeed him as king.
Qi State was in turmoil, so many people fled Qi State, and Sun Wu was one of them.
Cui Zhu killed the Marquis of Qi and established a new king. It can be said that Cui Zhu had power in the country. Even if he killed the Marquis of Qi, no one dared to criticize his country. However, the historian of Qi recorded that "Cui Zhu killed his king".
When he learned that Taishi Ling of Qi State had truthfully recorded the incident, Cui Zhu was furious and killed Taishi Ling. As a result, Taishi Ling's younger brother Taishi Zhong recorded again that "Cui Zhu killed his king".
When Cui Zhu saw it, he became even more angry. Do you think my sword is disadvantageous? He immediately killed Taishi Zhong. But Taishi did not give in. Uncle Taishi stood up again and took Taishi's order. He continued to write, "Cui Zhu killed him."
Jun'.
Cui Zhu was frightened and killed his uncle Taishi again. He killed three Taishi Lings in a row. Cui Zhu thought that no one would dare to write this time. As a result, Taishi Ji, the third brother of Taishi Ling, stood up again and wrote "Cui Zhu".
"Kill his king!"
At this time, Cui Zhu saw that Tai Shi Ji dared to write like this, but he had no choice. He said: "Your three brothers are dead, aren't you afraid? As long as you follow my request and write that the Marquis of Qi died of a sudden illness.
If you want to die, you don’t have to die!”
As a result, Tai Shi Ji directly refused: "This matter is already known to everyone. Even if you kill me, you can't change it. According to the facts, it is the duty of the historian. If you neglect your duty and survive, it is better to die."
Cui Zhu had no choice but to let him go. At this time, Nan Shi came from the south with bamboo slips in hand, preparing to continue recording "Cui Zhu killed his king". At this time, Cui Zhu finally felt scared.
Afterwards, the political situation of Qi State became even more chaotic. The whole Qi State behaved in such a way that Sun Wu never thought of serving Qi State.
After coming to the Huai Kingdom, he came into contact with a large number of books on the art of war in the academy. Sun Wu learned by analogy and became more proficient in the use of troops.
If you check the panel at this time, you will find that Sun Wu's military strategy and commander are all at full value.
Wang Qi and Sun Wu discussed how to use troops. After talking to him personally, Wang Qi understood Sun Wu's abilities more clearly. He was simply a born commander.
If the two sides faced off, unless they used those divine weapons of destiny, there would be no chance at all.
"You are a great talent. I am willing to make you a general. I wonder if you are willing?" Wang Qi said with cupped hands.
