"Wu Qizhe, this person also, good fight. Learn from Ceng Zi. Wuqi is famous for defending the Xihe River. ..... Wu Qi knows it. " Translation of

Wu Qi is a patriotic man who is good at using troops. I studied in Ceng Zi and served the king of Lu. The Qi army attacked Lu, and Lu Jun wanted to appoint Wu Qi as a general, but Wu Qi's wife was from Qi, and Lu Jun suspected him. Wu Qi, who was bent on becoming famous at that time, killed his wife in order to show his lack of attachment to Qi. Lu Jun finally appointed him as a general, led an army to attack Qi, and defeated Qi. Someone in Lu slandered Wu Qi and said, "Wu Qi is suspicious and cruel. When he was young, he saved a lot of money at home, but it was futile to ask for an official outside, and he also squandered his family property. People in his hometown and neighborhood laughed at him, and he killed more than 30 people who laughed at himself. Then escape from the east gate of Weiguo. When bidding farewell to his mother, he bit his arm and said bitterly,' If I don't become a minister in Wuqi, I will never go back to defend my country.' So he worshipped Ceng Zi as his teacher. Soon, her mother died, and Wuqi finally didn't go back to mourn. Ceng Zi looked down on him and broke up with him. Wuqi defected to Lu and studied the art of war to serve Lu Jun. Lu Jun suspected him, and Wuqi killed his wife as a token of his intention, so as to seek the position of a general. Although Lu is a small country, it has a reputation as a victorious country, so the vassal States will plan Lu. Besides, Lu and Wei are brother countries. If Lu Jun reused Wuqi, it would be tantamount to abandoning Wei. "LuJun doubt Wuqi, alienate Wuqi. At this time, Wuqi heard that Wei Guowen and Hou Xianming wanted to serve him. Hou Wen asked Li Ke: "What kind of person is Wu Qi?" Li Ke replied: "Wu Qi is greedy for fame and likes women, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, even Sima Yi can't compare with him." So Wei Wenhou appointed him as the main commander, attacked Qin and occupied five cities. Wuqi is in command, wearing the same clothes as the lowest soldiers, eating the same food, sleeping without bedding, marching without a car, personally carrying the bundled food, and sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers. A soldier got a malignant sore, and Wu Qi sucked thick liquid for him. When the soldier's mother heard about it, she burst into tears. Someone said, "Your son is a nobody, but the general himself has given him a thick liquid. Why are you still crying? Mother replied, "That's not true. A few years ago, General Wu smoked a poisonous sore for his father. His father fought bravely on the battlefield and died at the hands of the enemy. Now General Wu is sucking boils on his son. I don't know when and where he will die. That's why I cried for him. "Wei Wenhou, because Wuqi is good at fighting, honest and clean, and can win the hearts of all the soldiers, and appointed him as the leader of Xihe area to resist Qin and Han. After Wei Wenhou's death, Wuqi served his son Wei Wuhou. Wuhou rowed down the Yellow River. Halfway through the boat, he turned to Wuqi and said, "The mountains and rivers are steep and magnificent. This is Wei's treasure! Wu Qi replied: "The stability of state power lies in benefiting the people, not in the danger of geopolitical situation. Once upon a time, Sanmiao's home was near Dongting Lake, with Peng on the left and home on the right. Because it didn't cultivate virtue and didn't talk about faith, Yu Xia could destroy it. On the left of the territory of Xia Jie is the Yellow River and Jishui, on the right is Mount Tai and Huashan, on the south is a Queshan Mountain, and on the north is Yangchangban. Shang Tang banished him because he was unkind. In the territory of Yin, there are Mengmeng Mountain on the left and Taihang Mountain on the right. Changshan Mountain is in its north, and the Yellow River flows through its south. King Wu killed him because he was unkind. From this perspective, the stability of the regime lies in the kindness to the people, not in the geographical danger. If you don't show goodwill, even people in the same boat will become your enemies! " And replied, "well said. "Wuqi became a Xihe Shoujiang and gained a high reputation. Wei Xiangxiang was appointed as the national phase. Wu Qi was very unhappy and said to Tian Wen, "Please let me compare my contribution with yours, ok?" Tian Wen said, "Yes. Wu Qi said, "Order the three armed forces to make the soldiers willing to fight to the death for the country." The enemy dare not plot Wei. Who is better than me? "Tian Wen said," Not as good as you. " Wu Qi said, "Who can compare with me?" Tian Wen said, "Not as good as you. Wu Qi said, "If you don't hold the Xihe River, Qin's army will not dare to move eastward, and South Korea and Zhao will surrender. Who can compete with me? " Tian Wen said, "Not as good as you." Wu Qi said, "You are not as good as me in these respects, but your position is above me. What is the reason? " Tian Wen said: "Tian Jun is still young, and the people of China are uneasy. The minister is not attached to him, and the people don't trust him. At this time, should I entrust my political affairs to you or me? " Wu Qi was silent for a long time, and then said, "I should entrust this matter to you." Tian Wen said, "This is why my position is higher than yours." Wuqi realized that Tian Wen was inferior to him in this respect.
