Selected works of Fan Li
It is a shame in history books that those who worked for the King of Yue struggled with the giant sword for more than 20 years and even destroyed Wu. He crossed the Huai River in the north to face Qi Jin, ordered China to respect him, bullied him with a sword, and called him a general. Fan Li believes that under a great name, it is difficult to live for a long time. That sentence can be shared with others, and it is difficult to live peacefully. Regarding this book, he said, "I heard that the Lord was worried about my work, and the Lord humiliated me to death." The king was humiliated by Huiji before, so he didn't die. That's why. Now I am ashamed of revenge, and I ask you to punish me at the meeting. "Sentence Jian said," Orphans and sons live in different countries. Otherwise, will be added to the child object. "Fan Li said," When you give an order, I will do what I want. "Is to pretend to be light, since it is alone, will never violate. Therefore, this sentence of Jane expresses that he wants to visit Jishan and thinks it is a city.
Translation:
Fan Li served Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and worked hard. After more than 20 years of planning with Gou Jian, Wu was finally destroyed and Huiji's shame was cleared. The Vietnamese army marched north into the Huaihe River and reached the border of Qi and Jin, ordering all countries in the Central Plains to respect Zhou Shi, and Gou Jian claimed hegemony. Fan Li became a general. After returning to China, Fan Li thought that fame would not last long. Besides, as a man, Jian Jian can share his sufferings with him, but it is difficult to share his happiness with him. He wrote a farewell letter to Gou Jian, saying: "I heard that when you are worried about your officials, he will work hard and your officials will die." You were humiliated in Huiji before, and the reason why I didn't die was for revenge. Now that I have avenged myself, I ask you to sentence me to death for being humiliated by the monarch at the meeting. " Gou Jian said, "I would like to share the country with you. Otherwise, you will be blamed. " Fan Li said: "The monarch can carry out your orders, and officials still follow their own interests." So he packed some soft jewels, left by boat from the sea with his entourage, and never returned to Yue. In recognition of Fan Li, Gou Jian took Huiji Mountain as his fief.
