During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Zhong Er. Zhong Er heard the news, fled the state of Jin, and forgot about it for more than ten years. After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with state gifts and regarded him as a distinguished guest. One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er, and the two chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful women are waiting for you, precious silk, and you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather, and even more in Chu. What rare items does Jin Wang have? " The king of Chu said, "Your son is too modest. Having said that, you should show me something? " Zhong Er replied with a smile, "Thanks to you. If I can really return to China to be in power, I would like to get along well with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. "Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule. In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu. Yanzi sent Chu Yanzi to Chu. Knowing that Yan Zi was short, the Chu people opened a small door next to the gate and invited Yan Zi in. Yan Zi refused to go in and said, "Those who sent the mission to the dog country went in through the dog hole. Now I'm on a mission in Chu, so I shouldn't go in through this hole. " The person who greeted the guests improved the gate with Yanzi. Yan Zi visited the King of Chu. The king of Chu said, "Is there no one in Qi? How can I send you? Yan Zi replied seriously: "There are 7,500 families in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. When people open their sleeves together, the sky becomes dark. " Sweat together, it will merge into a rainstorm; Pedestrians in the street lean on their shoulders and their toes touch their heels. How can you say there is no one? "The king of Chu said," In that case, why did you come? " Yan Zi replied: "Qi sent envoys. According to different targets, talented people were sent to talented kings, while those without talents were sent to kings without talents. Yan Ying is the least talented person, so of course I came to Chu. " Yan Zi will be sent to the State of Chu. Hearing this, the King of Chu said to his men, "Yan Ying, who is good at rhetoric in the State of Qi, is here now. I want to humiliate him. What can I do? " His men replied, "When he comes, please allow us to bind a man and walk in front of the king. The king asked, "What does this man do?" We replied,' It belongs to Qi. The king asked again, "What crime have you committed?" We replied, "We have committed theft." When Yanzi arrived in Chu, the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. While drinking, two officials tied a man to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "Who is tied up?" The official replied, "The people of Qi committed the crime of stealing." The king of Chu glanced at Yan Zi and said, "Are people in Qi good at stealing?" Yan Zi left his seat and solemnly replied, "I've heard of such a thing. Oranges grow in citrus in the south of Huaihe River, while bitter oranges grow in the north of Huaihe River, but the leaves are similar in shape and the fruits taste different. What is the reason? The water and soil are different. Now people don't steal when they live in Qi, but only when they arrive in Chu. Is it because of the soil and water of Chu that people are good at stealing? " The king of Chu said with a smile, "A saint can't joke with him, and I'm bored myself. "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin wanted to annex two neighboring small countries: Yu and Guo, and the relationship between the two countries was good. If Kim is in danger, Guo will send troops to rescue him; If Jin attacks Guo, Yu will send troops to help. Minister Xun Xiang submitted a plan. He said that if we want to capture these two countries, we must alienate them and stop them from supporting each other. The monarch of the state of Yu is insatiable, and we can do whatever we want. He suggested that Jin Xiangong take out two treasures he loved and give them to Yu Gong. Where is the dedication? Gou said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, just let him keep it for the time being." . When Guo Yu is destroyed, won't everything come back to you? Dedicate to the public and follow the plan. When Yugong got a good horse and a beautiful jade, he was happy from ear to ear. The State of Jin deliberately created troubles at the border of the State of Jin and made excuses to cut Guo. The State of Jin asked Yu to let the State of Jin cut Guo by land, but Yu Gong got the benefit of the State of Jin and had to agree. Yu's minister repeatedly advised against doing so. The two countries are as close as lips and teeth When the country dies, the state of Jin will not release Yu. Yu Gong said that it is foolish to make a weak friend to offend a strong friend! The Jin army attacked the State of Guo through Yu Road and soon won. After Banshi returned to China, he handed over a large amount of looted property to Yugong. Yu Gong was overjoyed. Rick, the general of the Jin army, pretended to be ill at this moment, saying that he could not lead his troops back to China, and temporarily stationed his troops near the capital of Yuzhou. Yu Gong has no doubt. A few days later, Jin Xiangong came and Yu Gong went out to meet him. Go hunting in case of danger. After a while, I saw the capital on fire. By the time we arrived outside the city, the capital had been occupied by the Jin army outside the city. In this way, the state of Jin easily destroyed the state of Yu. After repeated orders, Sun Wuliu lived in the State of Wu, and the King of Wu wanted to test Sun Wu's military talents, so he handed over 180 young ladies-in-waiting to Sun Wu for practice. Sun Wu divided the ladies-in-waiting into two teams and made the prince's favorite concubine the captain. After Sun Wu confessed the password to the ladies-in-waiting, he drummed and commanded. The ladies-in-waiting burst into laughter and the team was in chaos. Sun Wu gave another order, but the ladies-in-waiting just thought it was fun and didn't listen at all. Sun Wu said that since he had understood the order and didn't listen, it was the crime of the leader and ordered the two captains to be put to death. The prince of Wu hurriedly ordered that the princess should not be killed, but Sun Wu killed two princesses. Then, Sun Wu rehearsed the ladies-in-waiting, and this time no one dared not listen to orders.
