Zhuang Xin said to King Xiang of Chu, "You left Zhou Hou, you left Xiahou, and you followed Yanling Jun and Shouling Jun, who devoted themselves to debauchery and extravagance, regardless of national politics, and the capital of Ying will be in danger!" Xiang Wang said, "Are you old and rebellious? Will you think that Chu is only auspicious? " Zhuang Xin said, "I sincerely see that it is inevitable, but I dare not think that the country is auspicious." If a king dies lucky for his four sons, Chu will die! I ask you to build it in Zhao and stay for a long time to watch it. "

Zhuang Xin went to Zhao, and stayed in May, and Qin Guo gave the land of Li, Wu, Shang Cai and Chen. Xiang Wang flows in Chengyang. So people made a fuss about Zhuang Xin in Zhao. Zhuang Xin said, "Promise."

Zhuang Xinzhi. Xiang Wang said, "I can't use your husband's words. What can I do about this?" Zhuang Xin said to him, "I heard a vulgar saying,' It's not too late to see rabbits and care for dogs; It's never too late to mend. " I heard that Tang Wu used to be a hundred miles long, and the world died. Although Chu is small today, it is extremely long and short, and it is still thousands of miles. How extraordinary it is!

"Wang alone doesn't see his husband ducking? With six legs and four wings, it flies between heaven and earth, pecks at mosquitoes and eats them, and drinks them from nectar. I think that I have no trouble, and I have no competition with others; I don't know if my husband is a boy of five feet, but I will adjust the glue wire and add it to the top of four, and the bottom will be eaten by ants.

"The husband is the smallest, and the yellowbird is the reason. Leaning over the white grain, perching on the lush trees, flapping its wings. I think that I have no trouble, and I have no competition with others; I don't know if my husband's son, Wang Sun, holds a bullet with his left hand and takes a pill with his right hand. He will add up to ten taels, which is what he did. I swim in the lush trees during the day, and I feel sour in the evening. Suddenly, I fell into the hands of childe.

"The husband is the youngest, and the oriole is the reason. Swim in rivers and seas. Drowning over the marsh, leaning over the eel and carp, and biting the water chestnut on the back. Strive for its six purlins, while Lingqingfeng is swaying in the air. I think that I have no trouble, and I have no competition with others; If you don't know who your husband is shooting, you will be arrogant and pay for it. You will add yourself to a hundred miles, be arrogant and pay a small amount, and you will be ruined by the breeze. Therefore, you can swim in the rivers by day, and you can tune in at night.

"It's only the youngest husband, Huang Li, that Cai Linghou's affair is based on. You can swim in Gaopi in the south and Wushan in Beiling, drinking Ruxi and eating fish from Xiangbo. Holding a young concubine on the left and a young woman on the right, galloping with it, not taking the country as a matter; I don't know if the master was ordered by the spirit king, but he saw it with Zhu Si.

"The matter of Cai Linghou is the smallest, and the matter of the king is based on. Zuo Zhouhou, right Xiahou, and Yan Lingjun and Shou Lingjun, rice sealed the millet of Lu, and the gold of Fang Fu galloped in the clouds, regardless of the country in the world; I don't know if the marquis was ordered by the king of Qin to fill in the plug, but he threw himself out of the plug. "

when Xiang Wang heard this, his color changed, and his body trembled. So he was awarded the title of Yangling Jun and the land of Huaibei.

Translation:

Zhuang Xin said to King Xiang of Chu: "The king left Zhouhou, right Xiahou, and the car was followed by Yanling Jun and Shouling Jun. Regardless of political affairs, Ying was definitely in danger!" King Xiang said, "Is your husband old and confused, or do you think this is an ominous sign of Chu?" Zhuang Xin said: "I really see the inevitable result of your doing so, and dare not think it is an ominous sign for the country." The king has always favored these four men, and Chu is bound to perish. I asked for refuge in Zhao and stayed for a long time to see the changes in Chu.

Zhuang Xin left Chu for Zhao. Lived in Zhao for five months. As expected, Qin conquered Yanying, Wujun, Shangcai and Chenzhi. Xiang Wang fled to Chengyang in exile. So he sent knights from Zhao to Zhao to call Zhuang Xin. Zhuang Xin said, "OK." When Zhuang Xin arrived in Chengyang, Xiang Wang said, "I didn't listen to you. The matter has come to this. What should I do about it?" Zhuang Xin said: "As the saying goes,' It's not too late to look back at the hounds after seeing rabbits, and it's not too late to mend the sheepfold after losing sheep.' I heard:' In the past, Shang Tang and Zhou Wuwang prospered with only a hundred miles, while Xia Jie and Zhou Wang owned the world and perished.

Although the Chu State is small today, we can learn from each other's strengths, and we can rely on thousands of miles, not just a hundred! Didn't your majesty see the dragonfly? Flying between heaven and earth with six feet and four wings. I bowed my head to eat mosquitoes and flies, and looked up to drink sweet nectar. I thought I had no worries and no disputes with people. I don't know that the five-foot child is mixing syrup and sticking it on the silk thread, sticking it at a height of three feet and dragging it down to make food for ants. The dragonfly thing is a trivial matter, and so is the yellowbird. Bend over and peck at white rice, and perch on the luxuriant trees. Flap your wings and shake them. You think you have no worries and don't argue with others.

I don't know that Prince Sun holds a slingshot in his left hand, puts a projectile in his right hand, tightens the bowstring, and takes the yellowbird's neck as the target of ejection, shooting at an altitude of 81 feet. The yellowbird still roams in the Woods during the day, and at night it adds seasoning to make delicious food. The yellowbird thing is a trivial matter, and so is the swan. Wandering in the rivers and seas, staying in the swamp, bowing their heads to peck at eels and carp, and lifting their heads to bite water chestnut grass. Spread your wings, Feng Ling straight up, swaying in the air. I think I have no worries and no disputes with others.

I don't know the archer, who has prepared a sharp arrow and a black bow, and will shoot at an altitude of 81 feet. The oriole will fall from the breeze with an arrow and a thin silk thread. Wandering in the rivers and seas during the day, cooking in pots and pans in the evening. What happened to Huang Gu is a trivial matter, and so is what happened to Cai Linghou. He traveled to Gaopi in the south and climbed Wushan in the north, drinking water from Ruxi and eating fish from Hunan. Holding the young concubine on the left and the beloved beauty on the right. Ride with them in Gao Cai, regardless of national affairs.

I didn't know that Zifa was taking orders from King Ling, so I tied him up with a red rope to meet King Ling Chu. Cai Linghou's business is a trivial matter, and so is the king's business. On the left of the king is Zhou Hou, and on the right is Xiahou, followed by Yanling Jun and Shouling Jun. I ate the taxes collected from the fiefs, used the gold and silver from the local tribute, and galloped with them in Yunmeng osawa, ignoring the affairs of state at all. I didn't know that the marquis was under the command of the king of Qin, and he was full of troops in the south of Sainan, leaving the king in the north of Saibei.

Xiang Wang's face changed greatly and he was shaking all over. Therefore, Zhuang Xin was awarded the title of Zhi Gui and was named Yangling Jun.. Soon Zhuang Xin recovered the land in Huaibei for King Xiang of Chu.

Extended information:

King Xiang of Chu was twice a hostage

Xiong Heng was the son of Chu Huaiwang, and when Chu Huaiwang was in office, Xiong Heng was made a prince. In the twenty-sixth year of Chu Huaiwang (313 BC), Qi, Han and Wei joined forces with the State of Qin because of Chu's betrayal of the Union Covenant, so * * * sent troops to attack Chu. Chu Huaiwang sent Prince Xiong Heng to the State of Qin as a hostage to ask for help. Qin sent Ke Qingtong (surname unknown, name tong) to lead the army to save Chu, and the three countries withdrew.

In the twenty-seventh year of Chu Huaiwang (312 BC), there was a private fight between Xiong Heng and a doctor of Qin, and Xiong Heng killed him and fled back to Chu.

In the 29th year of Chu Huaiwang (311 BC), the State of Qin attacked the State of Chu and defeated the Chu army. The Chu army killed 21,111 soldiers, and Qin Jun killed the general of Chu, Jingque. Chu Huaiwang was afraid, so he sent Xiong Heng hostage to Qi for peace. ?

King Xiang of Chu returned to China and succeeded to the throne

In the thirtieth year of Chu Huaiwang (299 BC), the State of Qin attacked Chu again and occupied eight cities in Chu. King Zhao of Qin sent a letter to Chu Huaiwang, saying, "At the beginning, I made an appointment with you to become brothers, and made a covenant in Huangji, and you took the prince as a hostage. The relationship is very harmonious. The prince insulted the etiquette who killed me and fled back without apologizing. I was really angry and sent troops to invade your border.

Now I hear that you sent the Prince to Qi as a hostage to make peace. My country, Qin, is connected with the border of Chu, and has been in-laws for a long time. But now that Qin and Chu are at odds, they can't call the governors. I would like to meet you in Wuguan, make a face-to-face contract and come back in an alliance. This is my wish. Boldly state to you. "

Chu Huaiwang saw the letter from King Zhao of Qin and was very worried about it. Chu Huaiwang wanted to go to Wuguan, but he was afraid of being cheated. If he didn't go, he was afraid that King Zhao of Qin would get angry. Zhao Ju said, "Your Majesty, don't go, just launch an army to defend the city. Qin, like a tiger and a wolf, is unbelievable and has the ambition to annex the princes. " Zilan, the son of Chu Huaiwang and the younger brother of Xiong Heng, advised Chu Huaiwang to go, saying, "How can you refuse the kindness of the king of Qin!" So Chu Huaiwang went to meet King Zhao of Qin. King Zhao of Qin ordered a general to ambush in Wuguan, pretending to be the king of Qin.

when Chu Huaiwang arrived, he closed off Wuguan, so he hijacked Chu Huaiwang to Xianyang and appeared before King Qin Zhao at Zhangtai. King Qin Zhao treated him like a vassal, without equal etiquette. Chu Huaiwang was furious and regretted not listening to Zhao Ju. The State of Qin detained Chu Huaiwang and threatened him to cede the counties and counties in the middle of Guizhou. Chu Huaiwang wanted to make a covenant, but Qin had to get the land first. Chu Huaiwang said angrily, "Qin cheated me and forced me to cede my land!" No longer promised to Qin Zhaowang, so Qin Zhaowang detained him.

The ministers of the State of Chu were all worried about this matter, so they discussed with each other and said, "Our king can't come back in the State of Qin, and he threatened to cede land, and the prince is held hostage in the State of Qi. If Qi and Qin conspire, then we will perish." So he wanted to make Chu Huaiwang's son in China king. Zhao Ju said, "The king and the prince were both stranded by the princes, and it is not appropriate for us to adopt his illegitimate son against the king's orders." So he falsely claimed that Chu Huaiwang had died and told the State of Qi, and the monarch of the State of Qi, King Qi, said to the State, "It is better to detain Prince Chu to claim the land in Huaibei, Chu."

Guo Xiang said, "No, if the State of Chu establishes a new king, then we will guard a useless hostage and do unjust things in front of the whole world." Someone said, "No.. If the State of Chu establishes a king, it happens to make a deal with the new king and say,' Give us a trip to the East, and I will kill the prince for you. Otherwise, we will establish a prince with Qin, Han and Wei.'

in this way, the East China will definitely get it. "King Ji Xuan finally adopted the strategy of the national phase and put it back in Xiong Heng. Xiong Heng returned to the State of Chu and succeeded to the throne for the benefit of the King of Chu. So he informed the state of Qin: "With the blessing of the gods of the country, the State of Chu has a new king."
