Translation of the seven methods of destroying Wu.

According to historical records, after returning to China, the sense of shame seized his heart, and he wanted revenge every day, but he tried his best to repay the national humiliation. When the time came, Wen Zi recommended to the King of Yue.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to say that the genre has broken the skill of martial arts: one is the seven skills; When it comes to nine techniques. As a seven-segment performer, he donated money one day to please his monarch and ministers; The next day, he squandered money on them; On the third day, he bequeathed beautiful women to confuse their minds; On the fourth day, he let his palace run out of money; On the fifth day, he threw his ministers' plans into chaos; On the sixth day, he urged his MPs to commit suicide to weaken their support; On the seventh day, he accumulated money and trained them to bear its shortcomings. However, the nine techniques described in Yuejueshu, with the addition of the technique of "respecting heaven and ghosts", are similar to each other.

According to the Records of the Family History of the King of Yue, the King of Yue gave me a sword, saying, "Teach me to attack Wu's seven unique skills, and defeat Wu in the third place, and the fourth in the son ..." I thought it was Judge Jane who deliberately made things difficult for the literary genre. As the saying goes, "if you want to add more crimes, you have to find a reasonable charge. Since you intend to kill literary genres. According to the records in Yue Jue Shu and Wu Yue Chun Qiu, during the twenty-two years when Ju destroyed Wu, the strategies put forward have been put into practice one by one.

It is indeed a good strategy for Gou Jian to defeat the art of Wu with the help of soldiers, which has a lot in common with Sun Bin's The Art of War. The "opening chapter" in Sun Tzu's Art of War mentioned that "soldiers are also cunning. Therefore, you can show what you can't do, use it without showing it, show it far and near, and show it near and far. Lure it for profit, take it for chaos, prepare for it, avoid it when it is strong, scratch it when it is angry, be humble and arrogant, work hard, and stay. " In the art of destroying Wu, Wen Zi donated money to please the monarch and his subjects, which meant that people thought they were loyal to the king of Wu and had revenge plans. However, because their strength was still insufficient, the enemy was strong and we were weak, which made the enemy neglect prevention, so they had to adopt a softening policy. This is called "inducement, groveling." But "I advised my ministers to commit suicide, but I wanted to help them", which intensified the contradiction between my son Xu and Fu Cha and achieved the effect of "letting him go". Finally, I got rid of a pillar of Wu, an outstanding general who was loyal to his subjects and was both wise and brave. One of the "five things" described by Sun Bin is "meeting". The "paradox" put forward to break Wu Zhishu lies in borrowing grain from Wu and paying it back with steamed grain. The State of Wu planted crops to compensate for the grain, but the crop failure caused the grain crisis. There has always been a saying that "food is the most important thing for the people". Once the country is short of food, it is easy to cause public grievances. Later, he persuaded Fu Cha to cut Qi on a large scale through the mouth of "Bi". The war intensified the country's turmoil and the people were miserable. There is also a "honey trap" in Wen Zi's skill of breaking Wu Zhi. Fu Cha was bewitched by the stone, and for beauty, for labor, for labor, and to make him laugh, he built pavilions and palaces, which caused the people of Wu to complain. The so-called "Tao" has been lost, and "Fa" has also been lost. Public opinion is the foundation of a country's survival, and Wen Zi's plan to break Wu Zhi is essentially based on this people-oriented thought.

In a sense, war is a contest of economic strength between opposing political groups. Sun Tzu said, "Those who are good at using soldiers will no longer be asked for their food for three years: for the use of the country, because their food is the enemy." So there was a plan to "accumulate money for training to bear its disadvantages." As a result, Wu was defeated. It can be seen that economy and military are closely related.

I only briefly talked about the above points, but didn't comprehensively analyze Wen Zi's skill of breaking Wu Zhi. But from the above discussion, it is enough to see that Wen Zi is indeed a resourceful and good at fighting. Unfortunately, a generation of Zhong Liang didn't get a good result, just because he only knew the "five virtues", but he didn't know that the "five virtues" could also die. I only know the phrase "great virtues don't report", but I don't know that "a sly rabbit dies and a running dog cooks; If the enemy country is broken, the adviser will die. " This is a lesson of the times.
