05 Ancient and modern famous generals Feng Tang Feng Tang @ 2007-9-12 13:54:37 Feng Tang read: Wu Qi, a Weiren, served in Lu.The people of Qi attacked Lu, and the people of Lu wanted to think that they were generals, so they took Qi's daughter as their wife. The people of Lu were suspicious, so they killed their wives in order to seek generals, and defeated Qi's division.Or the marquis of Lu said: "In the beginning, he participated in the matter. His mother died and he did not go to the funeral. He once participated in it. Now he kills his wife in order to become a king and general. From now on, he is cruel and demeaning. He also has the reputation of defeating the enemy because of the fact that Lu is a small country. , the feudal lords will go to Lu." Fear of offending.Hearing of Wei Wenhou's virtuousness, he returned home.

Wenhou asked Li Ke, and Li Ke said: "Being greedy and lustful, but using troops, Sima Rangju can never pass." So Wenhou thought that he would attack Qin and pull out five cities. When he rises up as a general, he shares food and clothing with the lowest of the soldiers, sleeps without a mat, travels without riding, wraps up food for himself, and shares the labor with the soldiers.Those who died with gangrene started to suck it.The dead mother cried when she heard it.The man said: "Son, I died, and the general sucked his gangrene himself, why cry?" The mother said: "That's not true. In the past, Duke Wu sucked his father, and his father did not fight back, so he died of the enemy. Today, Duke Wu Sucking his son, the concubine does not know what happened to his death, so she weeps." . .

Marquis Wu of Fu went down the West River, and in the middle of the river Gu said to Wu Qi, "The beauty of the solidity of the mountains and rivers is the treasure of the Wei State!" He said to him: "There is no danger in virtue. In the past, there were three Miao families, Dongting on the left, and Peng Li on the right. Xiu, Yu destroyed it; Xia Jie's residence, left Heji, right Taihua, Yique was in the south, sheep intestines in the north, Xiuzheng was unkind, Tang Fangzhi; Shang Zhou's country, left Mengmen, right Taihang , Changshan is to the north, and the great river flows to the south. If the government is not virtuous, King Wu will kill it. From this point of view, there is no danger in virtue. If the king does not cultivate virtue, everyone in the boat will be the enemy of the country." Marquis Wu said: "Good .”

Wei Zhixiang, Xiangtian Wen.Wu Qi was displeased, and said to Tian Wen: "Please discuss meritorious service with me, is it okay?" Tian Wen said: "Yes." Qi said: "General the three armies, so that the soldiers will die happily, and the enemy will not dare to seek. Who will you say to Qi? "Wen said: "It's not as good as a son." Qi said: "Govern a hundred officials, be close to all people, and serve the treasury, who is the son?" Wen said: "It's not as good as a son." , Han, Zhao Bincong, which one is the son?" Wen said: "It is not as good as the son." Qi said: "These three sons are all from my subordinates, and the position is added to my superiors, why?" Wen said: "The master is young. The country is suspicious, the ministers are not attached, and the people don't believe it. The time is right, do you belong to the son, do you belong to me?" After a long silence, he said: "The son of the subordinate."

For a long time, Uncle Wei Xianggong favored Princess Wei and killed Wu Qi.The servant of the uncle said: "It's easy to go. He is a man of strength and he likes himself. The son first said to the king: "Wu Qi is a wise man, but the king's country is small, and the minister is afraid that he will not pay attention. The king will try to delay it. Daughter? If you don’t pay attention, you will have to resign.’ The son made the princess humiliate her son because of her resignation. Seeing the princess’s humble son, he must resign, and the son’s plan is right.” The uncle followed, and Wu Qiguo resigned from the princess. .Wei Wuhou doubted it but did not believe it. He was afraid of being punished, so he fled to Chu.

The mourning king of Chu had heard of his virtuous people, so he appointed him as his prime minister.To set up the law trial order, to donate officials who are not in a hurry, to abolish those who are alienated from the public, to support the fighters, to strengthen the army, to break the words of lobbying and to follow the law.So Nanping Baiyue, the north conquered the Three Jins, and the west conquered Qin. . . Chu mourned the death of the king, and the nobles and ministers rebelled and attacked Wu Qi, and the dead king fell down.The shooter kicked up and stabbed the king's corpse. ("Zizhi Tongjian Volume 1", from the 23rd year of King Weilie to the 21st year of King Weilie, from 403 BC to 381 BC)

Translated by Feng Tang: Wu Qi was a native of the state of Wei, and was originally an official in the state of Lu.The state of Qi attacked the state of Lu, and the king of Lu wanted Wu Qi to lead the army.Wu Qi's wife is from the state of Qi, and the people of the state of Lu are worried.Wu Qi killed his wife casually for military power, and then defeated Qi's army.Someone whispered to the King of Lu: "Wu Qi started to hang out with Zeng Shen, and he didn't go back to see his mother died. Zeng Shen sent him away. Now Wu Qi kills his wife for Lu's military power. He is a cruel villain with no bottom line." The state of Lu is so small, and it claims to be able to fight, so the other princes must be thinking about destroying you." Wu Qi was afraid that the King of Lu would blame him, and he also heard that Wei Wenhou was a wise man, so he defected.

Wei Wenhou asked Li Ke how to evaluate Wu Qi, Li Ke said: "Wu Qi is greedy for money and lustful. But when it comes to using troops, he is the best in the world, and Sima Rangju can't compare with him." So Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as a general, attacked Qin, and won five cities. Wu Qi led the army. He ate and clothed the same as the lowest-level soldiers. He slept without laying bedding, marched without riding horses, and carried the food he could not eat on his own. He shared weal and woe with the soldiers.A soldier had a sore, Wu Qi sucked the pus mouthful for him.The soldier's mother cried loudly when she heard it.The people around were surprised: "Your son is a soldier, and General Wu Qi sucked the pus for him. Why are you crying?" The soldier's mother said, "What do you know? General Wu sucked the pus for the baby's father back then. The toes are always forward, dying in the enemy's line. General Wu is now sucking pus for my baby, I don't know where my baby will die, so I cry."

Later, Wei Wuhou went down the West River, turned around and said to Wu Qi: "The mountains and rivers are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. They are really resources that our country Wei can rely on!" Said the third part of the overbearing) instead of natural dangers. In the past, the San Miao family who thought they could rely on natural dangers without cultivating benevolence were destroyed by Yu, Xia Jie was exiled by Shang Tang, and Shang Zhou was slaughtered by King Wu. From this we can see , There is no danger in virtue. If the king does not cultivate benevolence, everyone on the same boat will become enemies." Wuhou said: "Well said, bullshit."

Wei Guo adjusted personnel and worshiped Tian Wen as prime minister.Wu Qi was upset and said to Tian Wen: "I want to compare with you." Tian Wen said: "Okay." Qi said: "Leading troops to fight, let the soldiers be willing to die, the enemy dare not plot, can you compare with me?" Tian Wen said: "I can't compare with you." Wu Qi said: "Manage functional departments, build a harmonious society, and enrich the national treasury. Can you compare with me?" Tian Wen said: "I can't compare with you." Wu Qi said: "I guard the West River, Qin soldiers dare not come to the east, South Korea and Zhao Guo obey our orders from Wei Guo, can you compare with me?" Tian Wen said, "I can't compare with you." Wu Qi said: "These three items , you and I are incomparable, but the official position given to you is higher than mine, why?" Tian Wen said: "The monarch is young, the enemy country waits and sees, the powerful ministers are not caring, and the people do not trust. At this time, let me be a Is it suitable for the prime minister or for you to be the prime minister?" Wu Qi was silent for a long time, and said, "You are the right one."

Several years later, the uncle of the prime minister of Wei married the princess of Wei and wanted to kill Wu Qi.The uncle's adviser said: "It's easy to get rid of Wu Qi. Wu Qi is a man of strength and self-satisfaction. You first tell the king of Wei: 'Wu Qi is a good man, but the state of Wei is too small to play well. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep him. A princess marrying him? If Wu Qi doesn’t plan to have a long career, he must find an excuse to reject it.’ Then you find an opportunity to invite Wu to come to our house and arrange for your princess wife to humiliate you in front of Wu Qi, let you pinch your feet and call you stupid Wu Qi sees the princess humiliating you, so he must not want to marry another princess of Wei, so he has fallen for it." The uncle followed his plan, but Wu Qi really refused and did not want to marry the princess.Wei Wuhou was suspicious, but he didn't believe it all.Wu Qi was afraid of disaster, so he fled to Chu State. King Chu Mourning had always heard that Wu Qi was capable, and when Wu Qi arrived, he immediately worshiped him as prime minister.Wu Qi clarified the management system and process, cut off useless bureaucratic positions, abolished distant relatives of princes and nobles, and saved money to train troops.The strategic focus is on enhancing its own competitiveness, ignoring all kinds of unreliable alliance cooperation intentions.To subdue Baiyue to the south, to drive back the Three Jins to the north, and to crusade against Qin to the west, all the feudal lords were worried about the strength of Chu, and more and more nobles of Chu resented Wu Qi. . . King Mourning of Chu had just died, and the nobles and ministers rebelled and attacked Wu Qi.In a panic, Wu Qi didn't choose his way, and lay down on the corpse of King Chu Mourning, who was still cold.The killers shot Wu Qi and at the same time shot the body of King Chu Mourning. Feng Tang commented: "Soldiers are a major event for the country."In the book, the first famous general to be highlighted is Wu Qi.There are many descriptions in Juan 1, involving Wu Qi's entire career, and the pen is magnificent. In the nearly thousand words of text, there is not a single word about how Wu Qi used his soldiers to get his mind. For the top leaders, the important thing is not to know how famous generals like Wu Qi, Han Xin, and Lin Biao use their troops to fight, but what is important is to know how to use these famous generals.Usually, famous generals are more difficult to employ than civil officials (excluding literary lovers such as Su Dongpo), and the more capable they are, the more difficult they are to employ. The director of operations of a modern enterprise, the boss of a business group, the boss of a business unit, etc., is responsible for the overall performance of a certain type of product, customer, and region, and bears relatively independent financial gains and losses. . The common excellent qualities of famous generals are cleverness, boldness, and hardship, which make his subordinates despise life and death and pay little attention to the present world.They don't need to go through much analysis, they instinctively know what the opponent's goal is at a certain point in time.As for how to hit the gate of life, the answers that others have puzzled over have been written in their minds from beginning to end, such as "how to make cats take the initiative to grow their own anus?"They like to take risks, their own lives and their own team are the bargaining chips, they will die at worst, anyway sooner or later they will die.Don't mutter, don't make a sound, don't make a fuss, put on your trousers and machete, take twenty knights, you can gallop eight hundred miles in one night, and smear a cat's asshole with pepper.Playing with a heavy heart, war seems to them the most exciting game, their own and others' lives are tools, and sweating and bleeding are part of the pleasure and glory.People who follow them, trust them, and rush forward, winning is gold and beautiful women, losing, it is a sharp knife in the chest. The common alternative qualities of famous generals are paranoid, arrogant, lustful, greedy for money, and ungrateful for profit.They basically don't see far away, and they basically don't care much about their surroundings. In order to get the power and resources they want, it's not a problem to kill their wives, mothers-in-law, fry Yu Ji, or chop off their left hands.They are basically pursuing cunts, eager to shine, riding the fastest horses and the most perverted girls, basically difficult to cooperate, and 90% of the sentences start with "I".They basically have no principles and love women, but they are more greedy for money than lust, more greedy for military power than money, like a knife that is never restless, grinding around, waiting for the skillful hand that can use it. It is easier to frame a name than to use it.Occasionally, I wondered how the pores of the princess who was going to be married to Wu Qi by the king of Wei enlarged instantly while waiting in the palace, drinking rice wine and listening to the maid telling the story of Wu Qi killing his wife in his prime. The end of the star is basically miserable.The image of the corpses of Wu Qi and King Chu Mourning being strung together by long feather arrows is said to be very evocative during the Southern and Northern Dynasties when homosexuality began to openly walk hand in hand.
