Today we will talk about a literary courage of Wu State - Yu Fan . He ranks very high among the civil officials in Jiangdong, second only to Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi, and is also able to be literary and military.
Let’s learn about him in four parts: First, he is not satisfied with his talent and is in a dark master; second, he serves Sun and says he is surrendered to Hua Xin; third, he is proficient in mysterious principles and is like a god; fourth, he is strong and paranoid, and was demoted to Jiaozhou.
Let’s go one by one.
Early, Sun Ce and Wang Lang competed for hegemony, and Yu Fan became Wang Lang Gongcao, and advised him not to swear his lead. Wang Lang didn't listen. Yu Fan advised: "If you want to fight Sun Ce from the front, it is not impossible. Please allow me to first pull two reinforcements for you so that the enemy cannot take care of each other!"
Yu Fan wrote two letters. The first letter is intended to be sent to Yuan Shu , and the second letter is intended to be sent to Liu Biao 's godson Liu Pan .
The content of the first letter is roughly as follows: " Duke Yisheng, conquered all officials, defeated the thieves, and helped the people. It is actually the quality of Zhou Cheng. However, the Yin and evil people have disrupted the east of the Yangtze River and soldiers to the world. I heard that under the king, I will not support Huan Wen. You are planning to do so! " ( quotes "Chongwen General Catalogue-Miscellaneous History" written by Lu Gongchuo and Wang Zhu during the Jingyou period of the Song Dynasty)
He means that the Sun family is originally your subordinate! Now that he is getting bigger, how can you stay indifferent? I have heard that you want to be respectful, cover all the world, and hold the world! The so-called "All the king's land is under the world, and the shores of the earth are the king's ministers!" Sun Ce wants to be under your rule as Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin , can you bear it? !
The second letter: " Sun's family is invading the suburbs and stealing the capital, and now it is a hustle and bustle, and it is also a sight to the southern country. The general is brave enough to shake Jingxiang, and it is suitable to destroy whales and salamanders and fall bees. " ( quotes "Chongwen General Catalogue - Miscellaneous History" written by Lu Gongchuo and Wang Zhu during the Jingyou period of the Song Dynasty)
This letter has two meanings. The first layer is that the Sun family and Jingzhou Liu Biao have had decades of grudges! Sun Jian appears to be killed by Huang Zu, but the mastermind is Liu Biao. Sun Ce knew about this and would come to take revenge sooner or later. The reason why Sun Ce has not taken action for a long time is that Jiangdong has not yet been settled. When he becomes full of wings, he will take revenge! So why not stab him in the back while he is not in a state of chaos now.
The second layer means that you, General Liu Pan, as Liu Biao’s godson, has not made great achievements for many years. It’s better to take this opportunity to show off!
Yu Fan's idea is wonderful, but Wang Lang relied on his identity and did not want to surrender to seek help, so he kept the two letters and refused to send them.
After the incident, Sun Ce won the victory and entered Kuaiji. He accidentally saw these two letters and sighed, "If you follow this plan, my life will be over!" So he sent someone to visit Yu Fan and threatened him, "You kid is too sinister, do you want my life?"
Yu Fan said coldly, "I only regret that Wang Lang doesn't listen to me!"
Sun Ce felt his strong integrity and bowed to him, "Ce wanted to govern Jiangdong, but he had not seen him at the position of Sanjiu, so I hope Mr. give me advice!"
Yu Fan then surrendered to Sun Ce.
Let’s talk about the second thing. After Yu Fan served in Jiangdong, he was very dedicated and dedicated, and was highly appreciated and trusted by Sun Ce. Once, Sun Ce asked Yu Fan: "I heard that you are very accomplished in the divination techniques in " Yijing ". Can you teach me some of the mysteries and mysteries?"
Yu Fan replied: "It is not important to study the Yijing, hexagram techniques, but what is important is hexagram principles! I have learned several ways of dealing with the world from the Yijing, and I want to share them with you!"
Sun Ce bowed his hand and said, "I am willing to hear the teachings!"
Yu Fankankan And talk about it: " The principle of the way of heaven is bright, and the moon is full, and the moon is full, so it is smart and wise, and keep it stupid; be knowledgeable and well-informed, and keep it frugal; be brave and keep it fear; be rich and responsibilities, and keep it narrow; be virtuous and keep it to be narrow; be virtuous and keep it to be favorable. These five things are the reason why the former kings guard the world. " ( uses the "Five Transmissions" to talk about "Five Transmissions", which is not the original words of Yu Fan )
When Sun Ce heard this, he felt that every word was gem. If he did these things, it would be enough to keep it true. But he still had shortcomings and wanted to follow Yu Fan's secrets.So he asked again: "I want to achieve great achievements, please teach me!"
Yu Fan said: "The overlords will hurt the world! The big overlords are only five, and the little overlords are only three! If you ask me about the art of raising the people, I can still tell you that I can't teach you the art of dominance!"
Sun Ce smiled and said: "What's the point of talking about?"
Yu Fan said: "Yang uses three techniques to drill into one side, and the benevolent ones will not take it! If you want to ask about the art of dominance, go and ask Zhou Yu , ask Lu Meng ! They are experts in rich and strong soldiers! As for how to let the people live a good life, you can ask me in this regard!"
Sun Ce did not ask again.
After a long time, Sun Ce began to be disgusted and said angrily: "You always teach me some of the 'king ways' used by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but do not talk about the 'dominance' that is practical. In fact, the 'dominance' of kings and dominance is the same. They all need to do something, so what can we do?"
Yu Fan said seriously: "How can the kingly way and dominance be the same? The kingly way is the benefit of all the people in the world; the Sun family is the only one who achieves dominance and benefits!"
Sun Ce smiled and said: "Your lyrics are really sharp. With such good eloquence, it is better to help me talk about surrendering Huaxin!"
Yu Fan has been immersed in Confucianism and Huang-Lao's studies since he was a child. He hates war the most. He doesn't want to see the resurgence of war and the devastating creatures, so he agreed to persuade Huaxin to surrender.
Yu Fan saw Hua Xin and said straight to the point: "Ziyu, how do you think you are compared with Wang Lang?" Hua Xin was modest and said, "If you want to be virtuous, I am not as good as Wang Lang; if you want to be strong, I am not as good as Wang Lang." Yu Fan flattered, "I have heard that you have a long time ago, and you have a great ambition and a mysterious heart. In terms of moral qualities, I think you are similar to Wang Lang, so you don't need to be humble!"
Hua Xin was very happy when he heard this. Yu Fan struck while the iron was hot, and then changed the subject and said, "But you said you are not as strong as Wang Lang's soldiers, which is the truth! Even Wang Lang can't resist Sun Ce now, can you resist?"
Hua Xin asked back, I heard that when Sun Ce attacked Wang Lang, you advised Wang Lang to attract foreign aid. Could it be that only Wang Lang can attract foreign aid? I can't? !
Yu Fan said, "It's different from the past! At that time, there was still foreign aid to pull. Now it's gone! Think about it, Yuan Shu is over. Now, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting openly and secretly, and there is no time to take care of him. Liu Biao is a guy who defends himself and will not send troops to help you. Originally, Liu Pan could help you, but unfortunately he was excluded by the Cai family and went to the frontier. He is now out of reach, and the far water cannot save the near fire!"
Hua Xin felt that what he said made sense. Instead of destroying the city, it's better to stay and wait, so he surrendered.
Let’s talk about the third thing.
Sun Ce always loves to be alone in Jianghuai. Whether it is going out to hunt or enjoy the scenery, he is always alone without any guards.
Yu Fan advised him: "If a man is not serious, he will not be powerful. Therefore, the white dragon fish is trapped by the Song people, and the white snake is released by himself. Liu Ji harms him, so he is willing to pay less attention!" It means that the dragon has dragons and shrimps have shrimps. If you want to become a dragon, follow the dragon's routine and don't learn from those little shrimps! Where can anyone go out without a bodyguard? Can't he become a grassroots knight? !
Sun Ce does not listen.
A few days later, Yu Fan occupied a cheat. The meaning of the hexagram says: "The birds are evil, and they will not encounter it."
Yu Fan then tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and started to cry loudly in the middle of the night. Neighbors don't understand the meaning.
Yu Fan said that Bofu is going to be dangerous!
Two days later, news came that Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples.
talks about Yu Fan’s accuracy, and there is another example.
Once, the generals of Wu and Wei countries beat Guan Yu together. Sun Quan let Yu Fan divine the divination and predict Guan Yu's future.
Yu Fanlian divination two hexagrams. The first hexagram is called "Shuize Jie Gua", which means: "You should be restrained and cultivate gentleness."
The second hexagram is called "Dize Lin Gua", which means: "Enough to be successful and defeat, and you will be retaliated against yourself."
Yu Fan explained: "Now Guan Yu is arrogant and arrogant, creating too many enemies, and what he observes and acts are contrary to the hexagram principles! I think he will suffer a crushing defeat! Not only will he suffer a crushing defeat, but he will also suffer the disaster of beheading in a few days! "
Sun Quan said, you said he would suffer a crushing defeat, but this is reliable. What is the basis for saying that he has the disaster of beheading?! Yu Fan said, do you know how the Shuize Jie hexagram became the Dize Lin hexagram?!
Sun Quan said that he didn't know. Yu Fan said, it was caused by the change of the Nine Five Line!
Sun Quan asked again, so what?! Yu Fan said, the hexagram has Liu Yao , nine one to nine six. People have six points, head, neck, chest, abdomen, legs, and feet, each facing the Six Line. If nine six represents the head, then nine five represents the neck. If the neck changes, wouldn't it mean that there is a disaster of beheading!
Two days later, Guan Yu's head was indeed sent over!
Sun Quan sighed and said, "Your magical trick is comparable to Dongfang Shuo! "
Yu Fan said angrily: "How can Zhongmou compare his jester and actor to me? ! "Sun Quan's original intention was to praise him, but Yu Fan did not want to be Dongfang Shuo, and his level was too low. He wanted to be Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong!
Let's talk about the last thing, which is that Yu Fan is a straight and paranoid person, especially after drinking, he didn't keep his mouth shut.
has three examples. Let's talk about one of them first, and then say After Guan Yu died, Yu Jin and other prisoners were obtained by the Eastern Wu. Sun Quan asked Yu Fan to receive Yu Jin.
As soon as the two of them met, Yu Fan pretended to greet him and asked him where Yu Jin was?! Yu Jin said I was from Shandong, and Yu Fan said it was a lucky thing! I went to Shandong to study back then, so I am half a fellow villager!
Yu Jin took the opportunity to ask him and said, "Look, I am not accustomed to the local conditions of your Wu Kingdom, and I am not used to living there. Can you say a few words to Sun Quan and let me go home early! "
Yu Qiang nodded and said yes. So the two of them drank. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yu Qiang got a little drunk and had a headache. Yu Jin sent him back to his mansion, and before leaving, he still told him: "Don't forget to give me a few good words to Sun Quan! ”
Yu Fan said: “Yes! You shameless guy, first surrendered to Guan Yu and then to Dongwu! I will persuade Sun Quan to kill you in a while! "
Yu Jin heard it and was very frightened! Someone told Sun Quan about this. Sun Quan believed that Wu and Wei had just established diplomatic relations. Yu Qian said rudely, which would affect the relationship between the two countries, so he had a grudge against him and often had the intention of using it!
Yu Fan had awkwardly with that Mi Fang . Once, the two drove out and argued with each other! This little thing happened to Sun Quan. Mi Fang said that he was the one who drove an Audi and was fighting with me, Porsche, and was looking for death!
Yu Fan was slightly drunk at the time, saying that you are Mi Fang, right? I remember, there is such a person! You got the honor of Guan Yu! We all know that the characters in the Three Kingdoms have skills, and you also have a skill, which is to sell the owner for honor! Tell me, when are you going to betray Sun Quan?! Tell us in advance, let us be mentally prepared!
Mi Fang was sweating profusely when she heard this!
Sun Quan thought to himself: "Mi Fang is just a chess piece I used! What are you serious about him? ! There is no scheming of scholars and officials! "
Therefore, I have begun to hate Yu Fan. There is another time when Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao were chatting there. The two were very excited about chatting, and some were not. Sun Quan said casually: "Is there any god in this world? ! Is there any way to achieve enlightenment and immortality? ! "
Zhang Zhao was about to answer. Yu Fan broke in and sneered: "Where is a god in this world? You will become dead bodies in the future! Since ancient times, kings who seek immortality and Taoism have never lived long! ”
Then he turned around and said seriously to Sun Quan, "Look at Qin Shihuang, seeking immortals and seeking Taoism, it will be gone in less than fifty years! How old are you this year? You are in your forty years? You are almost the same!
Sun Quan could no longer bear it and demoted him to Jiaozhou."
After Yu Fan arrived in Jiaozhou, scholars and spies from Cao Wei and Western Shu kept coming to him and said, "If you are willing to move from time to time, you are familiar with the principle of choosing trees for good birds. With your knowledge, why worry about not being able to be successful?"
Yu Fan was still thinking about the kindness of Sun's promotion in his heart, so he refused to say, "I can't be like Hua Xin and Wang Lang!" (Hua Xin and Wang Lang finally surrendered to Cao Wei)
Decades later, Sun Quan looked through the classics and couldn't understand some places, so he remembered Yu Fan and sent an envoy to summon him back.
The envoy reported: "Since he was demoted, Yu Fan gave lectures everywhere and was content with poverty. Because he had cut off the support, he died of hunger and cold, and was 70 years old."
Sun Quan ordered the reuse of Yu Fan's son.
