【Idiom Story】:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, the general of Wu State, led the soldiers of Wu State to attack Zheng State. Zheng Dinggong, the monarch of Zheng State, said: "Whoever can let Wu Zixu bring the soldiers back and not come to attack us, I will definitely reward him heavily." Unfortunately, no one thought of a good way, and on the morning of the fourth day, a young fisherman came to Zheng Dinggong and said, "I have a way to keep Wu Zixu from attacking Zheng Guo." When Zheng Dinggong heard this, he immediately asked the fisherman: "How many soldiers and cars do you need?" ”

The fisherman shook his head and said, "I don't need soldiers, cars, or food, I just need to use my rowing oar, and I can call tens of thousands of Wu soldiers to go back to Wu." "What kind of oars are so powerful? The fisherman put the oar under his armpit and ran to Wu Guo's barracks to find Wu Zixu.

As he sang, he struck the oars: "The people in the reeds, the people in the reeds; Crossing the river, whose grace? On the sword, the Seven Star Text; Give it back to you, take it with you. Today, you are proud, can you remember, fisherman? Wu Zixu saw the oars in the fisherman's hand and immediately asked him, "Young man, who are you?" The fisherman replied, "Don't you see the oars I have in my hand?" That's how my dad lives on this oar, and he saved you with it. Wu Zixu listened: "I remember!" When I was fleeing, a fisherman saved me, and I always wanted to repay him! It turns out that you are his son, how did you come here? ”。

The fisherman said: "It's not because you Wu Guo are coming to attack our Zheng State, we fishermen have all been called here. Our monarch, Zheng Dinggong, said, 'As long as anyone can ask General Wu to withdraw his troops and not come to attack Zheng Guo, I will reward him!' I hope that General Wu will see that my dead father once saved you, and don't come to attack Zheng Guo, and let me go back and get some rewards. Wu Zixu said with a grateful tone: "Because your father saved me, I was able to become a general alive." How could I forget His favor? I'll definitely help you with this! As soon as Wu Zixu finished speaking, he immediately brought back all the soldiers of Wu State. The fisherman happily told Zheng Dinggong the good news. All of a sudden, the people of Zheng Guo regarded the fisherman as a great savior, calling him "the doctor of fishing", and Zheng Dinggong also gave him a hundred miles of land!

In order to repay the fisherman's father for helping him, Wu Zixu not only did not attack Zheng Guo but also let the fisherman get a reward, which is called a thanksgiving picture.
