History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 62 Wu Qi
Su Yue looked at other people's college military training and found that everyone's military training was the same. She felt relieved and burst into laughter.

Hahahaha, it turns out you are all crunchy sharks, then I can continue to show off!

Later, I remembered that the live broadcast was going on now, and said: "Ahem, cough, you didn't see anything just now. Let's say Sun Wu is the first. Let's take a look at the next character, Wu Qi!"

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Okay, let’s talk about the next person.

Lianlian: Come on, come on, I want to be free!

Don’t let the world grow old: That’s right, I want my uncle!

Wu Qi (? - 381 BC) was a native of the Zuo clan of Wei State (today's west of Dingtao District, SD Province). In the early Warring States period of China, he was a military strategist, politician, reformer and one of the representatives of military strategists.

Wu Qi studied Confucianism under Zeng Shen in his early years, but later abandoned Confucianism to study military affairs. When he was first in the state of Lu, he was ordered to command the Lu army to defeat the state of Qi.

Afterwards, he went to Wei State and was reused by Wei Wenhou. He commanded the Wei army to defeat Qin many times, occupied the land west of Hexi, and became the first governor of Xihe. At the same time, he reformed the military system and created Wei Wuzu. He "battled seventy-six wars with the princes and won sixty-four".

Later, due to the suspicion of Wei Wuhou, he defected to the Chu State and served as Wanshou for the first time. A year later, he was appointed as Ling Yin by King Chu Miao, who carried out reforms to combat and restrict the influence of the old aristocracy and strengthen the military construction.

After drastic reforms, the state of Chu successfully strengthened its national power in a short period of time. The state of Chu "pacified Baiyue in the south, merged with Chen and Cai in the north, defeated the three Jins, and attacked Qin in the west." It once defeated the state of Wei, and "horses drank in the river." "A strong situation. In the 381st year of King Chu's mourning ( BC), King Chu's mourning passed away. Wu Qi offended the conservative nobles by implementing reforms and was brutally killed.

Wu Qi lived in the three kingdoms of Lu, Wei, and Chu. He was proficient in the three schools of thought: military, legal, and Confucianism. He made extremely high achievements in domestic affairs and military affairs. Together with Sun Wu, he was called "Sun Wu".

During the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, he became one of the ten philosophers of the martial arts temple. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was granted the title of Uncle Guangzong. His "Wu Zi" (some say it is a forgery by later generations) occupies an important position in ancient Chinese military classics.

I send my longing to the bright moon: I remember Wu Qi is a ruthless person?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: It seems so, but I forgot the specific reason.

Not allowed to grow old in the world: I remember Wu Qi also carried out reforms, but he was not as famous as Shang Yang’s reforms!

Wan Ning can't sleep: Yes, yes, Wu Qi has carried out reforms. There seems to be another Li Li with him.

Su Yue looked at the comment area and said, "Then let's talk about some short stories about the ruthless Wu Qi first!"

In 412 BC, Wu Qi became an official in the state of Lu. When Qi attacked Lu, Lu wanted to appoint Wu Qi as a general. Because Wu Qi's wife was from Qi, Lu was a little worried about Wu Qi.

After Wu Qi got the news, he took the initiative to brutally kill his wife and became a general.

He led the Lu army to defeat the Qi army and won a great victory, and was rewarded by the king of Lu. At this time, some people slandered Wu Qi in front of Luhou, saying: "Wu Qi once studied with Zeng Shen. When his mother passed away, he did not go to the funeral to pay homage. Zeng Shen severed ties with him because of this. Now, he is for a general." He actually killed his own wife. Wu Qi is really a cruel villain! What's more, it may not be a good thing for the small country of Lu to defeat a powerful enemy.

With such a reputation, every country will come together to deal with Lu. "Wu Qi found out about this and was very worried about what Lu would do to him.

Wu Qi heard that Wei Wenhou was a very wise man, so he went to join him. Marquis Wen of Wei asked Li Ke for his opinion on Wu Qi. Li Li said: "Wu Qi is greedy and lustful, but in terms of using troops to fight, even Sima Rangju, the famous general of Qi, cannot compare with him." So Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as a general. , led troops to attack Qin and captured five cities. Wu Qi served as the general of the Wei State. He ate the same food and wore the same clothes as the lowest-ranking soldiers. He slept without laying mats and marched without using chariots and horses. He personally arranged luggage and carried food on his back, and shared the worries and difficulties of the soldiers.

There was a soldier who had a malignant sore, and Wu Qi took medicine for him. When the soldier's mother heard about it, she burst into tears. Someone asked very strangely: "Your son is just a soldier, but the general sucked the sores for him. Why are you crying?"

The mother said: "I'm not crying about this. Back then, General Wu inhaled a sore for the child's father. He ganged up and fought desperately, but in the end he could not come back.

Now, General Wu is treating my son with drug sores. I don’t know where my son will die in the battle, so I cry! "

Wan Ning can't sleep: Hahahaha, so Wu Qi's drug-induced sores are as cursed as the Queen Mother's hairpin?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: I don’t know, but from this incident we can see that Wu Qi treats his soldiers well.

Tu Yue: That’s right, Wu Qi loves his soldiers as much as his sons, but it’s a pity that it didn’t end well in the end.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: There is no way, Wu Qi’s character is very flawed.
Su Yue said: "Yes, what we say about Wu Qi actually has no authority. We can look at other historical figures' evaluations of Wu Qi."

Li Kui said: "He is greedy and lustful, but he can't use the army to defeat Sima Rangju."

Gongshu Cuo said: "If you make your soldiers not collapse, straight but not leaning, pick and choose but not open up, this is Wu Qi's remaining teachings, and I cannot do it."

Mencius: "Good at fighting, such as Sun Bin and Wu Qi's disciples. Connecting with princes, such as Su Qin, Zhang Yi and so on."

Lu Zhonglian: "Eating people's bones and cooking bones, the soldiers have no intention of rebelling against the north. They are the soldiers of Sun Bin and Wu Qi."

Fan Ju said: "Wu raised an event to mourn the king, so that his death would not harm the public, his slander would not hide his loyalty, his words would not be licentious, his deeds would not be slanderous, and his actions would be righteous without seeking to be disgraced. There must be an uncle who will strengthen the country and will not hesitate to suffer disasters."

Cai Ze: "Wu Qi was incompetent in mourning for Chu. He was useless and damaged officials who were not in a hurry. He blocked private invitations and followed the custom of the Chu state. He attacked Yang Yue in the south and Chen and Cai in the north. He defeated the scattered followers and sent Chi Chi. Those who speak have nothing to say."

Han Fei: "Chu did not use Wu Qi to eliminate chaos, while Qin became rich and powerful by becoming a merchant king.

Wan Ning couldn't sleep: Oh my god, if nothing else, Wu Qi's reform is indeed effective, but the effect is just so-so.

Not allowed to grow old in the world: Yes, Wu Qi is also a famous military strategist, how could he have so many bad reviews?
Fuling: Actually it's not bad, most people are positive, only a small number of people don't like or don't approve of Wu Qi.

Yun Xi: Yes, Wu Qi's killing of his wife was indeed unkind, and it is normal for people to criticize him.

Community of Contradictions: Does Wu Qi care about this? That's Wu Qi! ! !

Don’t let the world grow old: That’s right, does Wu Qi care about these false reputations? Don't care at all.
