Warring

Chapter 47 Zhongshan (2)
Lord Wu An said: "In the matter of Changping, the Qin army was defeated, and the Zhao army was defeated; the people of Qin rejoiced, but the people of Zhao feared. The dead of the people of Qin were buried generously, those who paid were generously raised, and those who worked hard were fed with each other. Wealth: The dead of the Zhao people cannot be harvested, the wounded cannot be healed, weeping and mourning each other, working hard to share the sorrow, plowing the fields and working hard to make money. Although Wang Fa’s army is twice as strong as before, the ministers expect Zhao’s defense to be ten times larger. Zhao has come since Changping, and the monarchs and ministers are afraid. They retreated from the court early, resigned and paid a lot of money, married in all directions, married Yan and Wei, and connected Qi and Chu. .At this time, Zhao Weike can attack."

The king said: "The widow is here to revitalize the teacher." He sent Wang Ling, the doctor of the five schools, to attack Zhao.The battle of Ling was defeated, and the five schools died.The king wanted to send Lord Wu'an, but Lord Wu'an complained that he was ill.Wang Nai sent Yinghou to see Lord Wu'an, and said to him: "Chu is five thousand miles away, and there are millions of halberds. The king led tens of thousands of people into Chu, pulled out Yanying, burned his temple, and went east to Jingling. People were terrified, and they moved eastward but did not dare to go west. Han and Wei Xiang led a large number of troops, and the king's generals could not be half defeated, but they fought against Yique, and defeated the armies of the two countries. They bleed and beheaded 24 people. , Wei Yigu is now known as the Eastern Fan. The merits of this king are known all over the world. Today, Zhao died in Changping. It has been seventeen or eighteen. His country is weak, so he sent a large army with a few people, the number of which is twice that of the Zhao country. Wish The king will definitely want to destroy them. You have tried to defeat the many with the few, and win the victory like a god. How about using the strong to defeat the weak, and the many to defeat the few?"

Lord Wu An said: "At that time, the king of Chu relied on the greatness of his country and did not care about his government. The officials were jealous of each other and used meritorious services to flatter them. Therefore, it was necessary to lead troops deep into the city, multiplying the cities and towns, sending beams and burning boats to specialize the people, and plundering the countryside to feed the army. At this time, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty took the army as their home, and the generals as their parents. Dear, do not seek but believe, with one heart and one effort, death does not follow. The people of Chu fight their own land. They take care of their families, each has his own mind, and there is no fighting spirit, so he can make merit. The battle of Yique, Han Gu looked after Wei , do not want to use all of them first; Wei relies on Han's sharpness, and wants to push him as the front. The two armies have different strengths, so the ministers have to set up suspicious troops to wait for the Han formation. The army collapsed and took advantage of the victory to chase the north. It was because of this that they were able to make meritorious service. They all took advantage of the situation, and the principles of nature, what a god! Today Qin defeated Zhao's army in Changping, but it was not possible to take advantage of the time to take advantage of its fear and destroy it. Fear and release it, so that crops can be accumulated for benefit, orphans and young are raised for the benefit of the masses, soldiers and armor are repaired for strength, cities are dredged and ponds are strengthened; the master breaks his ministers below the joints, and the ministers die below the body. Scholars. As for the Pingyuan Lord’s subordinates, they all ordered their wives and concubines to mend the seams between the ranks. The ministers were united and worked together, just like when Goujian was trapped in Kuaiji. To attack them together, Zhao must stick to it. Refuse to go out; encircle the capital of the country, it will not be conquered; attack its cities, it will not be able to take it; plunder its suburbs, it will be nothing. The soldiers will not succeed, the princes will be eager, and the rescue will come. The ministers have seen the harm, but have not seen it. It's beneficial. I'm sick again, so I can't do it."

Ying Hou was ashamed and retreated to speak to the king.The king said: "I can't destroy Zhao when we are a little white?" Fu Yi sent an army, and made Wang Yan take the place of Wang Ling to attack Zhao.During the eighth and ninth months of the siege of Handan, there were many dead and wounded.The king of Zhao came out Qingrui to attack the latter, and the number of Qin was not good.Lord Wu'an said: "If you don't listen to your minister's plan, what is the result?" Wang Wen was angry. When he saw Lord Wu'an, he forced him to say: "Although the king is sick, he will be forced to lie down for the widow. If you have meritorious service, the widow's wish will be aggravated. Yu Jun. If you can’t do it, the widow will hate you.” Wu’an Jun nodded and said: “I know that although I have done nothing, I can be exempted from crime. Although I can’t do it without guilt, I can’t avoid punishment. Take the changes of the princes. Soothe their fears, slay their arrogance, and punish the injustice, so that the princes can rule the world. Why should Zhao be the first? This is what is called one minister subduing and conquering the world. If the king does not observe the foolish tricks of his ministers, You must want to be happy with Zhao, so that your ministers will commit crimes. This is also the so-called one who wins a minister and is the one who submits to the world. How strict is a husband who wins a minister, and who is better than the majesty of the world? Ministers have heard that the Lord loves his country, and loyal ministers love Its name. A broken country cannot be restored, and a dead soldier cannot be brought back to life. The minister would rather die under heavy punishment than humiliate the general of the army. May the king check it out." The king left without answering.

The water envoy of the Zuodu capital and the minister of Guanglu said to each other: the book "Warring States Policy" in the school, and the remaining volumes of the Chinese book, are confused and mixed together.There are also eight articles from different countries, which are insufficient.If the ministers are different from each other, they will be followed by the time; if they are not sequenced, they will complement each other, except for repetition, and there will be 33 chapters.Most of the original characters are mistaken for half characters, with "Zhao" as "Xiao" and "Qi" as "Li", there are many such characters.The title of Zhongshu may be called "Guo Policy", or "State Affairs", or "Short and Long", or "Shi Yu", or "Long Book", or "Xiu Shu".The minister thought that in the Warring States period, the country where the scholars and assistants used it, and the strategy for it, should be "Warring States Policy".After the "Spring and Autumn Annals", it ended in Chu and Han, and all the events in 240 were decided to be completed, and the book could be written.

The narration says: The Zhou Dynasty revived since the beginning of Wen and Wu, advocating morality, advocating propriety and righteousness, setting up Yongpan, Gong, and Xiangxu to teach, Chen Liyue, string songs to change the wind, narrating human relations, and being a couple.Everyone in the world knows the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood, and the way of benevolence and righteousness permeates the world because of his honest actions, and his death has been punished for more than forty years.If you admire righteousness from afar, everyone will be convinced, singing elegant songs, and thinking about their virtues.After Kang and Zhao, although there is a decline in virtue, its discipline is still clear.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been four or five hundred years, but the remaining karma is still strong, and it has not been extinguished.From the beginning of the fifth uncle, he respected the Zhou family.After the fifth uncle, although the ruler of the time was without virtue, those who were supported by his ministers, such as the son of Zheng's son, the uncle of Jin, and the Yanying of Qi, took the emperor to assist the government, and stood side by side in China. , Appointment to fellowship, expecting to be one, and vowing to save each other.The emperor's order still has something to do. A country that will enjoy itself is still ashamed.A small country has something to rely on, and the people have something to rest on.Therefore Confucius said: "Is it possible to rule the country with courtesy? Why?" Zhou's fluidization is not great!

After the Spring and Autumn Period, there were no sages who helped the country, and the propriety and righteousness declined.Although Confucius discussed "Poems" and "Books", and determined "Rituals" and "Music", the kingly way is clear and clear; there are only 72 people who have transformed them, and they are all the best in the world.Therefore, the kingly way is useless.Therefore, it is said: "You can't stand without power, and you can't do without power." After Zhongni died, the Tian family took over, the six ministers were divided into Jin, morality was abolished, and the order was out of order.As far as Qin Xiaogong is concerned, donating courtesy is more valuable than war, abandoning benevolence and righteousness and using deceitful deceit, so it is hard to get strong.Those who usurp and steal are listed as princes; the country of treachery is established and strong.It is based on passing on the direction of succession, and the younger generation will learn from each other, and they will swallow each other, big and small, and the violent teacher will bleed all over the field; father and son will not be blind, brothers will not be blind, husband and wife will be separated, and they will not protect their lives. .In the later ages, there were seven countries with ten thousand vehicles and five countries with thousands of vehicles.There is no shame in greed and gluttony, and there is no tire of advancing; different countries have their own politics and religions;At this time, even if there is morality, one must not make plans; if there is a strong establishment, one can resist resistance and stand firm; even with one another, one can renew the contract and make an oath to defend the country.Therefore Mencius and Sun Qing's Confucianists are donated to the world, while those who lobby for political power are seen as more valuable than the vulgar.Therefore, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Chen Zhen, Dai, and Li belonged to each other, and they were born according to the theory of horizontal, short, long, and left and right.Su Qin is the follower, Zhang Yi is the horizontal; the horizontal is the emperor of Qin, and the follower is the king of Chu; the country where he is is more important than the country he is going to.However, at this time, Qin was the most powerful state, and the feudal lords were weak. Su and Qin were united, and the six countries were one, and Qin was the best.The people of Qin were afraid and did not dare to spy on the soldiers in Guanzhong. There were no soldiers in the world for twenty-nine years.However, Qin's situation is convenient and favorable, and people with power and strategy are the first to gallop.At the beginning of Su Qin, he wanted to be tyrannical, but Qin Fuyong, so Donghe followed.After the death of Su Qin, Zhang Yi was in a row, and the princes listened to it, and went west to serve Qin.That's why the first emperor, because of the solidity of the four fortresses, according to the obstacles of Wei and Han, crossed the borders of Long and Shu, listened to the strategies of the people, and took advantage of the strength of the sixth generation to encroach on the six kingdoms, take over the princes, and dominate the world.Sticking to the disadvantages of deceit, there will be no sincerity in the end, no teaching of morality, no transformation of benevolence and righteousness, so as to embellish the hearts of the world.Let the punishment be regarded as the rule, and believe in the small art as the way.Then he burned poems and books, killed Confucian scholars, went up to Xiaoyao and Shun, and went down to the three kings of Miao.The second life is even worse, the benefit is not low, the love is not high; the monarch and the ministers are suspicious, the flesh and blood are estranged; the way of transformation is shallow, the discipline is corrupt;Fu Tianxia was 14 years old, the world collapsed, and there were also fraudulent frauds.Isn't it far away from Wang De?Confucius said: "Government is based on Taoism, and punishment is used in uniform, and the people are exonerated without shame; morality is based on Taoism, and propriety is used in uniform, there is shame and integrity."Husband makes the world feel ashamed, so it can be transformed.Gou used deceit and falsehood to steal life and gain tolerance, and acted on his own accord, why did he lead the subordinates?Qin's defeat is also inappropriate!
During the Warring States period, the ruler's morality was shallow, and those who planned for it had to use resources according to the situation and act according to the time.Therefore, its plan is to support the emergency and support it, and it is the power of all. Although it cannot be educated in the country, it is also the trend of military revolution to rescue the emergency.They are all highly talented scholars, who can do what the king of the time can do, come up with strange strategies and wisdom, turn danger into safety, and survive from death. It is also gratifying and impressive.The Water Envoy of the Zuodu City and the Minister of Guanglu Xiangshang's "Warring States Policy Book Record".
