First, a discerning person
Wei Wuji is the youngest son of King Zhao Wei and the half-brother of King Wei Anli. In the early Warring States period, Wei took the lead in reforming the country and became the overlord. However, Wei Huiwang, the third monarch, lost all the money saved by Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, and the following monarchs went downhill. In the generation of King Wei Anli, it was called Qiang Qin's dream meat. With its extraordinary talent, it became the only bright spot of Wei at this time.
Similar to Meng Changjun's Tian Wen, Wei Wuji is also keen on cultivating scholars, but the scholar he likes is by no means a henchmen, but can focus on justice and help Wei Wuji save the country, which is far beyond Tian Wen. The most famous male in Wei Wuji are Hou Ying, Zhu Hai, Mao Gong and Gong Xue.
Hou Ying, a hermit of Wei, worked as a gatekeeper in Daliang. After learning about this person, Wei Wuji went to Hou Ying's house to see him with a gift. At this time, Hou Ying was seventy years old. He said: "I have cultivated my moral character and adhered to my integrity for decades, but I can't accept my son's gift because I am a poor janitor." After being rejected, Wei Wuji still gave a big banquet at home, and then invited Hou Ying to the door, hoping that he could go to the party to avoid the guests waiting too long.
Wei Wuji drove by herself and left the seat on the left side of the car to Hou Ying. Hou ying calmly got on the bus and did not give in. Then, Hou Ying asked Wei Wuji to take him to visit Zhu Hai, a friend who killed pigs, and deliberately talked with Zhu Hai for a long time to observe Wei Wuji's reaction. Wei Wuji was so respectful and calm in the whole process that even the public in Wei Wuji felt angry.
After arriving at the official residence, Wei Wuji introduced Hou Ying to the distinguished guests at the banquet and made a toast to him. Hou Ying said, "I have done my best for you today. I'm just a doorman at the east gate, but my son wronged me and greeted me in public. I shouldn't have visited my friends again, but today my son condescended to accompany me to visit him.
However, I also want to achieve the reputation of the son, deliberately let the son's chariots and horses stop at the market for a long time, and test the son by visiting friends. As a result, the son is even more humble. Everyone in the street thinks I am a villain, but my son is a noble man and can be polite to corporal! "From then on, Hou Ying became a VIP in Wei Wuji. Through Hou Ying's relationship, Zhu Hai became an important pawn for Wei Wuji in the future.
After stealing from Zhao, he stayed in Zhao for a long time and was afraid to return to Wei. He heard that there were two saints in Handan, Mao Gong and Gong Xue. One runs a casino and the other a pub. So Wei Wuji often visits them. Wei Wuji's brother-in-law, Zhao Sheng, said to his wife, "I thought Xin was a saint, but he hangs out with gamblers and drunkards all day. It seems that's it."
The lady sued, saying, "I've heard about it for a long time, and it's a good idea to abandon Wang Wei to save Zhao." Now I know that Ping Yuanjun's association with people is just a bold move to show off his wealth. He is not looking for talented people. When I was in Daliang, I often heard that these two people were brilliant and brilliant. When I arrived in Zhao, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to meet them. Treat me like a person and associate with them. I'm afraid they won't see me.
Ping Yuanjun actually considers it a shame to associate with them. Ping Yuanjun is not worth socializing with. "So Wei Wuji packed and was ready to leave. When Zhao Sheng heard about it, he quickly came to apologize and admitted that he didn't know. Because of this, most civil servants in Zhao Sheng have defected to Wei Wuji. These four scholars who deliberately made friends with Wei Wuji also fought two of the most brilliant wars in his life.
Second, the thief saved Zhao and cut Qin vertically.
Wei Wuji's military ability is the most outstanding among the four sons of the Warring States Period. Although Tian Wen led troops to defeat Qin Chu, Qi was in full swing at that time. Wei Wuji broke Qin twice, but it was at the end of the Warring States period, when Qin was superior and Lu was weak.
After the battle of Changping, Zhao was in danger, and Qin continued to attack Zhao with the intention of destroying Zhao in one fell swoop. In the first 257 years, Zhao asked Wei for help when he surrounded Handan. Wei Anli sent general Jin Bi to lead a hundred thousand troops to save Zhao. However, Qin said that after Qin destroyed Zhao, whoever dared to save Zhao would attack first. As a result, King Wei Anli was frightened by the State of Qin and ordered Jinbi to temporarily stop marching.
Zhao was very worried, and Zhao Sheng sent people to ask for help many times, hoping that he could persuade King Wei An, but King An refused to send troops. In desperation, Wei Wuji prepared to lead 100 public servants to a decisive battle with Qin Jun. When passing through the gate of Daliang, Hou Ying said to him lukewarm: "My son will try his best, and the old minister can't follow him this time."
Wei Wuji more think more wrong. He felt that he didn't feel sorry for Hou Ying at ordinary times. Why is Hou Ying so cold this time? So he came back and asked. Hou Ying said, "I knew you would come back. You are usually very kind to me, but this time I was too rude. I thought you'd come back and ask me. Childe personally with Qin Jun desperately, like cutting meat to feed the tiger, useless. What's the point of this crisis when my son has raised so many customers? "
Then Hou Ying and Xin went to a secret place to talk. Hou Ying made a suggestion: "I heard that military signs are often placed in Wang Wei's bedroom. For example, the surname Ji is Wang Wei's favorite. She goes in and out of Wang Wei's bedroom at will, and she can steal the military standard by doing all she can. I heard that Ruji's father was killed. Ruji has the ambition of revenge, and all the subjects below Wang Wei want to avenge Ruji, but they all failed.
To this end, Ruji once cried to his son, and his son sent a public servant to behead his enemy and respectfully dedicate it to Ruji. Minute died for childe, she was diligent, but she didn't have the opportunity to act. If the son really asks Ruji for help, if she will definitely agree, then he can get the symbol of the tiger and seize the military power. The north can save Zhao and the west can resist Qin. This is the great cause of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. "
Wei Wuji listened to Hou Ying's plan, and prepared to take advantage of your basket to steal the roller and rush to Jinbi Camp. Hou Ying added, "When you are away, your life will not be affected. What if Jinbi still doesn't hand over the army? " Why don't you take Zhu Hai with you? He is a strong man. If Jinbi doesn't obey, Zhu Hai can kill him. "Wei Wuji shouted when he heard these words. Hou Ying asked him if he was afraid of death. Wei Wuji said, "I feel sorry for this veteran Jin Bi. He will never surrender his military power easily. Looks like I have to kill him. "
Wei Wuji found Zhu Hai, and Zhu Hai said, "I'm just a pig killer. My son came to see me again and again, and I didn't say anything. It's time to work for you. " Wei Wuji said goodbye to Hou Ying, who said that I really can't help you this time. On the day when my son arrived at Jinbi Camp, I committed suicide to the north to thank my son for his kindness. On the day Wei Wuji arrived, Hou Ying committed suicide by heading north.
Wei Wuji led Zhu Hai to the village, but he refused to hand over his bugle. Zhu Hai killed Jinbi with a sledgehammer hidden in his sleeve. Wei Wuji first reorganized the army. When his father and son were both in the army, he ordered them to go home. If all the brothers are in the army, the eldest brother will go home; All the only sons have gone home. In this way, 80,000 soldiers were selected, defeated in one fell swoop, and Zhao Yu from the mire was saved. When Wei Wuji led the troops, Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Sheng went ahead with quiver on their backs.
Since then, Wei Wuji knew that King Anli would hate himself, so he stayed in Zhao. Qin Jun continued to attack Wei, and King Anli sent someone to invite him back to China for many times, but he was still worried and refused to return home. When Mao Gong and Gong Xue learned about this, they met Wei Wuji and said, "The reason why you were honored as a vassal in Zhao State is because of the existence of Wei State.
Now the state of Qin is attacking the state of Wei, and Wei is in danger, but the son doesn't care. If Qin breaks through the girder and razes the ancestral temple of your ancestors to the ground, what face will childe have to live in the world? Hearing this, Wei Wuji's face changed greatly and he immediately returned to Wei as a general. By virtue of his fame, he organized the five-nation allied forces of Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu and Yan, defeated Qin again, and forced Qin to temporarily return to Hangu Pass.
Third, a dead rabbit cooks a bird and hides it.
When they returned to Wei, King Anli and his brother cried. However, after defeating Qin temporarily, once the external pressure was reduced, the infighting immediately rekindled. King Anli deprived Wei Wuji of his military power, and Wei Wuji was disheartened. He burned all the art of war he wrote, indulged in debauchery, and died in the girder four years later.
Heqi can be said to be cousins, who are suspicious and hate each other, just like fire and water. Tian Wen retaliated with treason. Wei Wuji and King Wei Anli are half-brothers. Although their relationship is closer, there is still no trust between them. Although he is more talented, his loyalty to Wei has never wavered. He is the pillar of Wei.
However, his father, King Zhao Wei, refused to pass on his most gifted child to future generations. King Wei Anli faced Wei Wuji who was stronger than himself everywhere. When the enemy is powerful, on the one hand, he can't do without Wei Wuji's ability; on the other hand, he is absorbed and full of doubts about Wei Wuji's ability and reputation. Whether the State of Qin has spread rumors in the State of Wei, saying that Wei Wuji wants to be king or not, his fate will not be much different.
Wei Wuji's own influence spread all over Wei. On the one hand, it was necessary to show his talent and save the country; on the other hand, it was a great threat to the kingship. Once, I went hunting with King Anli, not far from the border of Zhao. Suddenly, Zhao Wang led the army, and Anli Wang was in chaos, thinking it was Zhao's attack. But Wei Wuji remained calm and told King Anli, "I got the news in advance. This is Zhao Wang hunting, too. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. " It can be seen that Wei Wuji's news is more well-informed than King Anli.
Any monarch who knows that his subjects have this ability will have doubts. In addition, Wang Anli's beloved concubine was later instructed to steal the roller, causing the public to kill General Jinbi. Even if Wei Wuji starts from the overall situation, Wang Anli will never trust him. At this point, loyalty to Wei is completely meaningless, but it is this loyalty that makes me afraid to take the last step.
If Zhao, a fellow Sanjin, had such a son, he would have usurped the throne and stood on his own feet long ago, because such things are common in the history of Zhao. If you dare to stand on your own feet, with his ability and prestige, I'm afraid it will be much better than protecting yourself on Xue's land. Although it is unlikely to revitalize Wei and change the historical outcome of Qin's reunification, it is enough to add enough trouble to Qin and buy more time for the six Shandong countries.
