Chapter 28: Fan Li's reminiscences of Xi Shi's death
In 486 B.C., King Qianfan Li of Yue escorted the beautiful Xi Shi into Wu. Yue Nu A Qing trained 3,000 soldiers for the King of Yue, and the soldiers were successful, and the Yue Nu resigned and returned to Nanlin, and Ji Ran also resigned and returned to his hometown. After that, the king of Yue sent someone to invite Ah Qing again, but the person disappeared and disappeared nowhere.
Besides, when Wu Wangfu saw Xi Shi, he was immediately shocked by the immortals, and was fascinated by his beauty and talent, and ignored the government.
It is really very fortunate to be very fortunate to Xi Shi, because I know that Xi Shi likes water, I often join hands with Xi Shi to go to the West Mountain of Wu Di Gu District Ze to play, where you can climb the ethereal peak and get a picture of the beautiful scenery of Gu District. Fucha also made people build a watchtower on the top of the mountain, named Mochiyue Pavilion, said to be a military lookout and early warning base, but actually for Xi Shi to overlook the misty peak south of the lake across the lake hometown Yue to relieve his homesickness. And from this Moon Pavilion, Xi Shi can see the Yu'er Pavilion through the empty lake, and every time he looks at the Yu'er Pavilion, he can't help but shed tears of Sizi and Sijun.
But Nafucha thought that Xi Shi was homesick and emotional, and every time he saw him crying, he tried his best to please Xi Shi. In order to please Xi Shi, Fucha from the summer palace located in the summer bay, along the south side of the Ethereal Peak built a hundred pavilions, the pavilions are connected by a long corridor, Fucha called it the Hundred Pavilion Promenade, this pavilion goes straight to the top of the Ethereal Peak. These civil engineering projects were a great waste of national strength, and the national strength of Wu was further consumed.
Seeing this, Wu Zixu, the general under Nafucha, advised King Wu to stay away from beauty and not to build large-scale construction, but it backfired, disgusting King Wu, and the political opponent got the king's money and wealth, and framed him for slander, and was finally killed by King Wu.
In 484 B.C., Wu Wangfu sent his subordinates, the strategist Wu Zixu, to commit suicide with the sword given by King Wu. A capable general can be compared to a million male soldiers, but Wu Zixu's death was a broken right-hand man of King Wu.
Time flies, and two years later, in the midsummer of 482 BC, the state of Wu and the state of Jin held a "meeting of the Yellow Pond" in Huangchi (now south of Fengqiu Road, Henan) to compete for the position of overlord of the Central Plains. Wu Jun "10,000 people thought that the phalanx, all of them were white, white, plain, and white, and they were in full swing. The left army is the same, all of them are naked, red, Danjia, Zhu Yu's sting, and their hope is like fire. "On the Jin side, Zhao Ying accompanied Jin Dinggong to come forward; Wu was personally led by Wu Wangfu to Huangchi; Lu Aigong of Lu Guo and Zifu Jingbo came as agreed, and there was also Shan Pinggong, the representative of King Zhou, as a witness of the times. The name of this conference is the conference, but in fact it is to finalize the hegemony of the Central Plains.
Before the Huangchi Conference began, the Yue Wang Tan heard that the rear of Wu was empty, so he took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack the Wu capital and kill the prince of Fucha. When the bad news came, in order not to affect the good situation of the struggle for hegemony, Fucha secretly executed seven Wu soldiers who reported the news, and held back tears to participate in the alliance.
Everyone talked calmly and harmoniously, and it came to the most critical moment - blood. According to the rules, the overlord will shed blood first.
King Wu said: "In the Zhou room, I am the longest." ”
Jin Ren retorted: "Yu Ji's surname, I am the uncle." ”
The two sides are at a stalemate...... Fucha blocked the news in the rear and threatened the Jin State by force. Zhao Ying, the king of Jin, was ready to use force, and whoever won was the overlord, so he called the doctor Sima Yin and said: "It's so late, the big thing has not been completed, this is the crime of the courtiers of the two countries!" Go! After beating the drums and forming the army, and letting the courtiers on both sides fight to the death, the order of the young and the old will naturally be decided! ”
Or Sima Yin is fine: "You first Shaohou, let me observe it again." After a short time, Sima Yin returned and said to Zhao Ying, the king of Jin: "The complexion of a meat eater should not be dark, but now that Wu Wangfu has a gloomy face, isn't his country defeated?" Or did his eldest son die? - There must be something wrong with this! Besides, Yi is rash and impetuous by nature, and cannot be tenacious for a long time, so we had better wait and see. ”
Indeed, as the doctor Sima Yin said, there was a fire in the backyard of the house, and finally Wu Wangfu lost his patience and chose to back down.
Another capable man under King Wu, Sun Wu Sun Shaoqing, is a good friend of Wu Zixu, who once wrote thirteen articles of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" at the foot of the Dome Mountain. Since Wu Zixu was sent to death by his husband, Sun Wu has been disheartened, and the many unhappiness of the meeting of the Yellow Pond, as well as the fact that the husband loves beauties and does not love the country, so that Sun Wu can not see the hope of Wu, so he quietly left a letter in 481 BC and said goodbye.
Since then, the military strength of the Yue State has risen, and the Wu State has gradually declined. In 479 B.C., the Yue soldiers attacked Wu and marched to the Five Lakes.
In the second year, in March 478 B.C., the Yue soldiers attacked Wu again, and the two sides fought in Kaze, and the two sides fought in Wu Songjiang. The Vietnamese army invaded the territory of Wu, and Wu Wangfu received the news and led his troops to meet the attack, and the two sides were deployed on both sides of the Kaze River.
When the left and right armies of the Yue King Goujian arrived at the predetermined position, he ordered the drum to cross the river and enter the center of the river, waiting for orders. When the Wu army heard the drum sound of the upper and lower reaches, Wu Wangfu mistakenly thought that the Vietnamese army had crossed the river at night and came by two routes. The Vietnamese army reconnoitred and understood the situation of the Wu army's division of troops, and when Gou Jian took advantage of the Wu army's movement and was easy to cover in the dark night, he crossed the river with the rank of Lizhong, without sounding drums, and was led by 3,000 soldiers, who were the elite soldiers trained by Na Aqing, and these 3,000 elite soldiers secretly approached the Wu army camp and launched a sudden and fierce attack. The Wu army rushed to the battle and was beaten to the ground and scattered. Wu divided his troops to meet the enemy's two armies, and when he heard that the base camp was attacked, he returned to the army to rescue, but the Vietnamese army crossed the river to pursue and break it.
The Wu army retreated to Wuxi to contain the stragglers, reorganized the troops, and defended according to the stream, preparing to fight again. The Vietnamese army then pressed forward to the front, and the two sides fought again. At this time, Fan Li led the boat division, Yue Guo Gu Quze (now Taihu) to the north from Hengshan (now Hengshan, Suzhou) to the flank of the Wu army, and launched an attack. Wu Shangjun's general Xu Menchao was killed in the battle, causing more turmoil in the middle and lower armies, Wu Wangfucha and Wang Sunyu and others saw that the situation was unfavorable and were unable to repel the enemy to save the decline, so they had to withdraw their troops and retreat to the outskirts of Wu.
The Vietnamese army crossed the river in Kaze, attacked without Xixi, won two battles and won two battles, the soldiers were high-spirited, and pursued the Wu army fiercely by victory, and arrived at the suburbs of Wucheng. Wu Xia's army fought bravely, and after repeated battles, the general of the lower army, Prince Gu Cao, died in battle. Wu Wangfu was able to withdraw the Chinese army into the city when he was sent to fight against the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army built the city outside the Xu Gate (West Gate) to attack and besiege Wu Shouyi.
After that, the situation of the Yue State and Wu State was reversed, and in November 473 BC, the city of Gusu in Wu Shouyi was besieged by the Vietnamese army for three years, the army and the people were exhausted, unable to fight, the soldiers were scattered, the city gate was lost, and the Vietnamese army entered the city. Wu Wangfu saw that the general trend had gone, and led Wang Sun Yu and others and the guards to break through the siege of Gusu Mountain in the west. Goujian, the king of Yue, then led his troops to arrive and surrounded the mountain for three layers.
There was no hope of breaking through, and seeing that the general trend had gone, Wu Wangfu sent Wang Sun Yu as a representative to ask Yue for peace, but Fan Li did not allow it. The Vietnamese army went on the offensive. King Wu also sent Wang Sun Yu to ask Yue to be willing to be a vassal, and the world is more and more prosperous.
King Yue intended to accept it, and Fan Li immediately pointed out: "Heaven and not take it, but suffer from it." "Actually, have you forgotten how we escaped from Fucha and what we have done to Fucha now? So the king of Yue changed to the king of Wu to live in the east of Yongju. The husband lamented and replied: "If you practice Yu Sheji, destroy Yu Zongmiao, please die first."
After Fan Li captured Fucha, King Wu asked for permission to kill himself.
Before he died, the husband sighed with infinite remorse: "I regret not using Zixu's words, I ordered myself to be trapped here, and I have no face to see Zixu." And he killed himself.
After the defeat of the army, Fucha committed suicide, and the Moon Pavilion and the Baiting Corridor on the Ethereal Peak Mountain were also burned down by the Vietnamese army. Looking at the broken pavilion in front of him, Fan Li at this moment was anxious, the war had not yet found Xi Shi's figure, and asked the husband in private, but the husband closed his eyes and did not answer, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Fan Li, who was anxious, kept guessing where Xi Shi was now, and suddenly was called "Report!" Interrupted thoughts. Looking up at the soldier, he saw a letter in the soldier's hand: "Doctor Fan, I found a letter on a bookcase in the Moon Pavilion, which said that you opened it in person. "Let's say, hand the letter to Fan Li.
After receiving the letter, Fan Li had a bad premonition in his heart, opened the letter, but saw that the handwriting was Xi Shi's pen and ink: Fan Lang, when he saw this letter, he must have occupied Xishan by the Yue army, and it was also the time for Yiguang to say goodbye to Fan Lang. Thirteen years of living in Wu country, thinking of Jun and Yu'er day and night, every time I miss it to the extreme, I come to the West Mountain Moon Pavilion to look south, and I miss spending time with you. Since I am separated from Yu'er, I don't know what Yu'er is now, I must have become a little teenager, and many thoughts can no longer be expressed in words. This time the defeat of Wu State, although it is not the cause of Yiguang, but there is also Yiguang cause and effect, dare not judge right and wrong, since Wu State, the husband is very fortunate to treat Yiguang, but Yiguang has made Wu State die. Yu Jun, Yiguang did not fulfill the responsibility of his wife, Yu Er, Yiguang did not fulfill his mother's responsibility, Yu Fucha, Yiguang did not fulfill the responsibility of the princess. Or you think that Yiguang shouldn't treat her husband like this, but Yiguang can't say that he is at fault. A maid and two husbands are already morally corrupt and intolerable to the world. Yiguang doesn't want to be seen by the world anymore, so he will say goodbye! I hope that Fan Lang will take care of Yu'er and love your Yiguang.
"Ahh Fan Li hid his face and roared, tears like autumn rain.
For the rejuvenation of the country, it is sad to give up his lover and put the burden of the rise and fall of a country on a weak woman! What if you win the world?
In order to rejuvenate the country, the whole country depends on a woman, and it is the merit of the monarch who wins, but it is the monarch of the country who enjoys the fame, and no one cares about the miserable woman! Even if she wins the world, what does it have to do with her?
Staggered to the edge of the road, looking at the boundless lake, the bitter water with nowhere to tell can only be kept in his heart.
A poignant love has come to an end, and thousands of years later, there is Li Yugang in the world, a song "Huansha Song" describes the lovesickness:
A burst of floral fragrance woke up from a dream for a thousand years
Under the Lai Shan Mountain, the spring is drunk for a long time
The neon dress is fluttering, and I don't know whose eyes are lost
Ripples swirled around my fingertips
The smoke is vast, and I miss it several times
The fish linger with me
Butterflies come and dance freely
Turned around and slowly walked away to the edge of the white clouds
Flowing water is at one end of the shore
Such as a flower face for whom to love
Let me wait quietly for the blooming of the new year
Look at the plum willows blowing in the sky
Look at the red blooming all over
Let this life never swerve and dream forever
On the way back to China, the Vietnamese army traveled to Wuhu, and the general Fan Li decided to resign from his official position, bid farewell to the king of Yue, and did not return to the country. The king of Yue insisted on staying, but Fan Li did not obey the king's order and led dozens of people to leave.
Fan Li, who left the king of Yue, came to the township of Yu'er with his entourage, wanting to take Yu'er with him, but was told that Yu'er had been picked up by a young couple. The couple left a letter, opened the letter, but it was a handwritten letter from the teacher Ji Ran, writing: Young uncle, when I saw this letter, Ah Qing and I had already picked up Yu'er. Since leaving the king of Yue, I hid near the state of Wu, looking for an opportunity to rescue Yiguang, but unfortunately, the husband was defeated, so I rushed to Xishan, just in time to see Yiguang jumping down, before the rescue has disappeared. Deeply feel the righteousness of Yiguang, now take away the language, teach its art industry, if you want to see, you can go to the bitter county. Shi Jiran.
"It turns out that the teacher has never been far away." Fan Li was very grateful in his heart, and came to the Yu'er Pavilion again, and looked at the pavilion, and then kicked into the car, with a whip, and drove north.
Poignant love is always touching, and the poet Li Bai of later generations wrote a poem "Song of Lai Luo Mountain" to describe the love of the ages:
Xi Shi Yuexi girl, from Ramie Mountain.
The beautiful color covers the present and the ancient, and the lotus flower is shy and jade.
Huansha makes clear water, and is idle with clear waves.
The letter is difficult to open, and it is deep in the blue clouds.
Gou Jian is brilliant, and the moth enters Wu Pass.
Carry the palace of the doll of the museum, and it is impossible to climb.
Once the husband is broken, the country is broken, and Qianqiu does not pay it back.
