Chapter 194 King Wu Helu
Wan Ning can’t sleep acridine (Guan): No, I think the King of Qin in these idiom stories is Ji’er!
Wuduyi: Hahahahaha! As expected of you!
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: who said it was not the case? And I think Ji'er's home field should be the Warring States Period, and this is the battlefield of the Spring and Autumn Period!
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Yes! If you want to mention King Qin, I think Duke Mu will be very happy!
The pig came to the bowl quickly: Hahahahahaha! Apart from anything else, when I saw King Qin among the kings, I felt that the winner had appeared!

Kick the lame man's good leg like crazy: As long as this King of Qin is not Hu Hai, that's fine
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: What should I do if I think King Qin and King Yan should win as soon as they appear?
Wuduyi: Hahahahaha, but seriously, does Zhu Di’s brother also have a King of Qin?

Wan Ning can’t sleep acridine (Guan): That’s right! But this guy is no worse at fighting than Zhu Di, but his personal ethics are questionable.
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Hahahaha! But to be honest, this person is really not famous among the Qin kings!
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: No way, who allowed him to have a famous father and a famous brother?

He kicked the lame man's good leg wildly: Hey, brilliant!
Seeing that they were all talking about the Ming Dynasty, Su Yue was speechless and said, "Okay, let's see the next person!"

Helu, King of Wu (? - 496 BC), first built as Helu, surnamed Ji, given name Guang, also known as Gongzi Guang, the son of Wu King Zhufan ("Zuo Zhuan" and "Shiben" are the son of Wu King Yu Mei), in the late Spring and Autumn Period of Wu King of the country, military commander.

When Helu was the prince, he participated in many wars between Wu and Chu.

In 525 BC, he was ordered to lead his boat division up the river to attack Chu, fought with the Chu army at Chang'an (now southwest of Dangtu, Anhui), and recaptured the lost king Zhou "Yu Huang".

In 519 BC, he assisted King Wu of Wu and led his army to defeat the Chu army in Jifu (now Gushi, Henan) and seize the state. In 515 BC, Helu sent Zhuanzhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu and establish himself on his own.

During the ruling period, Wu Zixu, an old minister of Chu, was the prime minister, and Sun Wu, a native of Qi, was the general. They decided to defeat the powerful Chu first and then submit to the Yue Kingdom's strategy of striving for hegemony. They adopted the strategy of dividing their troops to attack Chu in turn, and frequently attacked Chu between the Jianghuai River and the area east of the Dabie Mountains. , making Chu tired of running for his life.

In 506 BC, the Wu army, led by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, attacked westward from the Huaihe River Basin to the Han River and won five battles in five battles. They captured Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, and forced King Chu Zhao to flee.

In 496 BC, King Helu of Wu was beheaded by the great concubine Linggu Fushu in the battle with the Yue Kingdom. He later died of illness and injuries and was buried in Huqiu Mountain.

During Helu's reign, he recruited talents, appointed talents, extended favors, developed agricultural production, and reorganized the army. Within a few years, Wu became a powerful country that dominated one side. The country's national strength has been raised to a new level.

Historical records praise Helv: "The mouth is not greedy for delicious food, the ears are not happy with idle sounds, the eyes are not lustful for color, and the body is not greedy for peace."

I send my longing to the bright moon: Hey! I think the most famous among the kings of Wu is Fucha, right?
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Yes! A daring fool has made him popular for thousands of years!

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: And why did I immediately think of Shi Yigang when I saw the light?

Even the fog refuses:? ? ? Who is Shi Yiguang?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: it was Xi Tzu! But it’s not King Wu who has anything to do with her.
His Majesty Han Xiaowu: Hahahahahaha! Who of you still remembers that this King of Wu is from Helu?

Don’t let the world grow old: I don’t remember!
At dusk, I don’t want to go home:? ? ? Aren't you talking about Fu Cha?
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Hahahahahaha! Xiu'er!
Su Yue looked at the comment area, sighed, and said, "Okay, in fact, we are also familiar with Helu! We also said it before when talking about Sun Wu!"

Sun Wu kills his concubine

After being recommended by a military officer, Sun Wu met Helu with the art of war.

Helu said: I have read all thirteen of your articles. Can you give me a try?

Sun Wu replied: Yes.

Helu said: Can we use women to try it?

The answer is: Yes. So a hundred and eighty beauties came out of the palace.

Sun Wu divided them into two teams, using two of King Wu's favored concubines as captains.

Sun Wu ordered all the people to hold halberds, and ordered them: "Do you know your heart, back, and left and right hands? To move forward, look in the direction of your heart; to step back, look in the direction of your back; to the left, Look to the left; right, look to the right."

Then the drums were beaten to give the command to the right, and the women laughed endlessly.

Sun Wu said: "If the restraint is not clear and the order is not familiar, it will be a crime."

He was ready to kill the left and right captains. When Helu saw it, he was horrified and hurriedly sent an order, "I already know that the general can use troops. I left these two concubines and their food was tasteless. I hope I won't kill them."

Sun Wu said: "Since I have been ordered to be a general and the general is in the army, I will not accept the emperor's orders."

Finally, the two captains were killed and replaced by the following people.

Sun Wu beat the drum again and gave the order. The women knelt down left and right, and they were all in order and in line with the requirements. No one dared to say anything. Helu knew from then on that Sun Wu could use troops.

Killing people and sacrificing daughters

Helu's daughter Teng Yu committed suicide because she was resentful of him. Helu was very sad and built a tomb for his daughter outside Changmen. He also made a beautifully carved stone coffin and used gold tripods, silver bottles, pearls and jade and other treasures as funerary objects.

On the day of his daughter's funeral, Helu ordered people to dance the white crane all the way, attracting thousands of citizens to follow and watch. When they arrived at the cemetery, Helu ordered all the men and women watching to be driven into the underground palace, and then the tomb door was blocked.

These people who watched the crane were buried in the tomb and became the burial objects of Helu's daughter.

Because of half a fish, Princess Tengyu of the Warring States Period committed suicide, and tens of thousands of innocent citizens were buried with her.

Love to eat salted fish
When Helu led his troops across the sea to attack Yue, there was no food on the ship.

While they were in full swing, countless big golden fish swam over. They threw themselves into the trap and became the rations of Wu Jun. There were so many of them that even when Wu Jun's squadron had not finished eating.

Helu came back and asked if the fish were still there. The people around me replied that they had all been pickled into dried fish.

So Helu ate a lot. He didn't think it was salty, but it was delicious. He even wrote down a word on the spot, the top was "beautiful" and the bottom was "fish". This word later evolved into "鲞", which refers specifically to dried fish.

Tomb anecdotes
According to local records, below the Jianchi is the burial place of King Helu of Wu. When he was buried, the three thousand swords he loved during his lifetime were buried in the tomb as sacrificial objects, so it was named "Jianchi".

In history, many gold diggers wanted to dig Helu's tomb. There is a large stone plate with a north-south orientation on the outside of Jianchi, covering an area of ​​one or two acres. Legend has it that after the Helu Tomb was built, King Wu Fu Chai was worried that the craftsmen would reveal the secrets of the tomb, so he killed all the craftsmen.

It is said that at that time, more than a thousand craftsmen poured blood on the stone, and the stone was still purple-brown, so it was named "Thousand People Stone".
