Why did Wu Zixu follow Wu Wangfucha, not King Chuping

King Chuping killed his whole family, Wu Zixu escaped, he defected to King Wu to take revenge on Chu, and later led troops to dig up the grave of King Chuping and whipped the corpse 300 times.

Wu Zixu was dying King Wu said: "The first king relied on me and became the overlord of the Jianghuai region, but the king of Wu listened to the slanderous rumors of the traitor and villain and put me to death, I have nothing to say, I only ask the king of Wu to gouge out my eyes and hang them on the east gate after my death, and I will see King Wu Goujian attack the capital of Jin and Wu." ”

This sentence is related to King Wu. I have to say that Wu Zixu still has a deep affection for Wu Guo, after all, this is his life's work, although he is about to die, he has never given up Wu Wangfu to send troops to attack Yue Guo as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the national strength of the Yue country is strong, he will inevitably take revenge.

The obsessed Wu Wangfu did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice to him, and finally he was really buried in the hands of Goujian, the king of Yue, which is the famous "three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu" in history. "Wu Wangfucha is still a generation of kings with soft ears, soft hearts, and mediocrity and incompetence.

In the face of the beautiful Xi Shi given to him by King Goujian of Yue, he completely forgot his responsibilities and relaxed his vigilance against King Goujian, which made King Goujian of Yue lie down and look for an opportunity to return to his country. I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and King Wu Goujian has a beauty plan to make himself famous in history. According to historical records, another important reason why King Goujian of Yue destroyed the state of Wu was that Wu Wangfu was addicted to wine all day long and ignored the government.

I once saw in "Historical Records" that the author had such a sentence to evaluate Wu Zixu: "Chu does not use Wu Zixu to break, Wu uses it to dominate, and the husband does not use Zixu to kill him, and the country dies." This shows that Wu Zixu is indeed an unavoidable general, but it is a pity that Wu Wangfu almost had no eyes and killed Wu Zixu by mistake.

A person's talent may really respond to the saying: "Knowing the son is better than the father". In the state of Chu, Wu Zixu's father asked Wu Zixu's father to take two children as hostages, and Wu Zixu's father said that the eldest son would definitely go with you, and the younger son might not go.

When the officers and soldiers of Chu State arrived at the door of Wu Zixu's house, Wu Zixu had already fled, and then Wu's father said, you let him escape, and you are not far from destruction. A few years passed, and the state of Chu was finally destroyed by the state of Wu, which Wu Zixu threw himself into.

Wu Zixu said before he died: "After I die, please gouge out my eyes and hang them on the east gate, I want to see the destruction of the Wu Kingdom with my own eyes!" "Wu Wangfu is related, after all, it was Wu Wangfu who ordered Wu Zixu to commit suicide.

Relate; He said that after I die, please plant a catalpa tree on my grave, so that it can be used as a coffin when it grows up, and cut out my eyeballs and hang them on the east gate of Wu, and I will see with my own eyes how the Vietnamese army enters the city to destroy Wu.

Before he died, he said that King Wu's father relied on him to dominate Jianghuai, and now King Wu is ungrateful, and when he dies and gouges out his eyes, he has to watch Wu State be destroyed by Zhao State before he can be blinded.

When Wu Zixu suggested that Wu Wangfu send to attack Qi and assist Wu to claim hegemony, he mainly fought out of two considerations.

First, Wu was in a weak position during that period, and although Wu was victorious after the Battle of Puyang and captured the Xiongwu army of Yue, it was still threatened by the great powers of Zhou, Qi, and Chu. Wu Zixu believed that if Wu could not increase its strength in time, it would be destroyed by its model other countries. Therefore, he suggested that Wu Wangfu should unite with Yue and attack the strong enemy Qi together, so as to prove the strength of Wu and consolidate and expand Wu's sphere of influence.

This is the first reason why Wu Zixu helped Wu Wangfu to achieve hegemony.

Second, Wu Zixu and Wu Wangfucha have deep personal grievances. According to legend, Wu Zixu's father was once an important ** in the Wu Kingdom, but was killed by Wu Wangfucha. Therefore, Wu Zixu held a grudge and thought that only by helping Wu become the overlord could he avenge his father.

At the same time, Wu Zixu and Wu Wangfucha had a silver fight to ease their relationship, and once helped him quell the rebellion. Therefore, he also hoped to increase his personal prestige and status by supporting Wu Wangfucha.

The above is the reason why Wu Zixu wants to help Wu Wangfu to become a hegemon.

An example of the reason why Wu Wangfu sent Wu Zixu to death is as follows:

1. Wu Zixu's credit is too great, Fucha is a talented ruler who has his own views on everything, and he is also a very conceited person, Wu Zixu and Fucha have great differences in some political and military affairs, and Fucha feels that Wu Zixu threatens his status as a fierce guess;

2. Wu Zixu's overly upright personality leads to the fact that although Wu Zixu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, most of his achievements are concentrated in the military, and he has been mixed in the military for a long time, forming an upright character of a soldier. will quarrel with the husband because of the court, which makes the husband dissatisfied; Noisy notice.

3, the villain made trouble, Wu Zixu was sent by the husband to envoy Qi after persuading his husband to destroy the Yue State first and then attack the Qi State to no avail, and Wu Zixu, who sent the envoy to the Qi State, foresaw the destruction of the Wu State.
