What was the most successful use of honey trap in ancient China?

The fourth essay on reading history: the honey trap of 36 schemes

If the soldiers are strong, they will attack them; Smart people will hurt their feelings. When a weak soldier collapses, his potential will wither. Use the Imperial Guard to protect the situation.

-this is the footnote of the honey trap. The indispensable prop in the trap is beauty.

Beauty is unlucky, and it is the most appropriate word to use on them. Honey traps often have the nature of death, just like "dying from the enemy's latter, making me know, and spreading behind the enemy's back" written in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and its ending mostly ends in tragedy.

The earliest successful application of honey trap was at the end of Shang Dynasty, and the user was the famous King Wu. In order to rescue Zhou Wang's imprisoned father, King Wu presented a woman to lewd Zhou Wang. She quickly won the favor of Zhou Wang, and under her persuasion, Zhou Wang let Zhou Wenwang go.

This woman didn't even leave a name in history. In the later Romance of the Gods, she didn't even have a chance to play, probably because such details would ruin the reputation of King Wu. After all, being saved by a woman is despised by a gentleman.

Her life is almost blank; It is this vast blank that makes the historical readers of later generations have great curiosity about her. No one knows why she risked losing her mind and resolutely carried out such a task, lurking beside the cruel and bloodthirsty Zhou Wang. Is it loyalty or gratitude or love? She couldn't imagine that if Zhou Wang woke up one day, she would be the first person to be hit. Her final outcome has also become a mystery, and it is impossible for her to defeat the cruel, bloody and scheming Princess Demon Ji-history has proved this. Did she become a slave of da ji, or did she lose her life in the helpless and pathetic confrontation with da ji?

Maybe the second ending is more in line with her fate. Having fulfilled the mission entrusted by King Wu, she became an abandoned child. When Zhou people welcomed King Wen who had been imprisoned for several years, no one would care about her future. Perhaps, like thousands of ladies-in-waiting in Qian Qian, she died in silence, and no one knows.

Of the four beauties in China, four are related to politics, three are political tools, and two are clearly bait in the honey trap. Comparing the Japanese version of the four ancient beauties (Helen, Cleopatra, Yang Guifei, Onomachi), we will find that the Japanese chose a woman who has nothing to do with politics and is mainly engaged in love and poetry as the representative of their beauties, instead of being a political victim like Oichi before Yu Jing. In fact, Yang Guifei in the eyes of the Japanese is just the image of loyalty to love in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow. What about Helen? But she is the result of the war, so she is not the result of the war. Homer's epic doesn't say that when the war went on for the tenth year, Helen came out to join the army herself. The soldiers were shocked by her beauty and said, "It is worthwhile for us to fight for her for another ten years." In China, a woman's beauty triggered a war, which was not only repugnant to the public, but also blamed by 80% for being "beautiful for the wrong country" and "a femme fatale", as evidenced by Mrs. Xi and Chen Yuanyuan.

Just as China people's evaluation of Genji is always related to ideology, Murasaki shikibu has emphasized more than once that this book has nothing to do with politics, but only writes two versions of Genji's romantic life and four beautiful women, which also reflects the differences between the two cultures to some extent.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, honey traps were widely used, and even Kong was cheated-precisely, his monarch was cheated by Qi people, which made the old gentleman angry; Marriage in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is more or less a honey trap. A princess married to another country always puts in a good word for her brother, doesn't she? Mu Gong's wife Mu Ji, in order to rescue her husband's younger brother Jin, even took herself and her young children as hostages, threatening that if you dare to burn my younger brother, I will drag my son to death for you-this unique trick of "crying twice and hanging three times" has been included in "Biography of Women", which can be called "an educational book on the outstanding deeds of ancient women's traditional morality". It can be seen that women now have the means to deal with their husbands.

As a China person, everyone knows the story of history. However, her ending is not as idealistic and beautiful as the legend and Fan Li's retirement. The truth of history is often cruel. She is likely to be "put into the river" as recorded in the book, and a generation of beautiful women will sink into the West Lake. (Remember the sacrifice to the river god in Ximen Bao's governance power? Ximen Bao said that the girl was not beautiful, so she threw all the witches directly into the river and married the girl home-this is the only place different from the textbook. Ximen Bao's adult, honest and clean, hates evil, so this is your real purpose ... indirectly proves that even a gentleman can't resist the temptation of beauty ...)

Next time you visit the West Lake, don't forget to give incense to this legendary beauty. It sounds cruel, but it is her only and inevitable ending. Because she is just a tool. Gou Jian can't understand the truth that all birds are saved, so he will kill Wen Zi mercilessly. What's more, he witnessed the fate of Fu Cha, which is also a poison to his opponent's national subjugation.

The Story Of Diu Sim. The image of The Story Of Diu Sim in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms inevitably makes people complain that Luo Guanzhong's way of writing people is too unreal. According to his description, The Story Of Diu Sim was an inexperienced and naive girl when she first started out. Although she is a geisha, Wang Yun treats her like her own daughter. -such a little girl who lived in a mansion at the age of sixteen can't imagine how deep she has fallen into. However, it is such a naive little girl who can advance and retreat freely between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, playing with them in the palm of her hand. I didn't see how Wang Yun put forward this view. It's like leaving the lamb in the wolves. Until Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo turned against each other completely, he didn't show any signs of "remote control" ... It seems that one night's secret cramming has created such a clever super beauty spy ... I saw her lying smoothly after Dong Zhuo chased Lu Bu, under his severe questioning.

I can admit the fact that she is a genius, and then after becoming the concubine of Lu Bu, her performance is amazing. When Lu Bu thought of deus ex, did she talk to him? Echoing each other, Lyu3 bu4 was left in the city, which caused the tragedy of the White Gate Tower. She is clever as ice and snow and can think with her toes. At this time, she can only rely on Lu Bu. When he dies, it will all be over. However, is it so unwise to send Lu Bu to the guillotine yourself?

After Lu Bu's death, there was no more of her in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Legend has it that she died at the hands of Guan Yu, which is also reasonable for those Shu generals who regard women as clothes. ...

Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang is an anomaly in the honey trap-of course, I mean Xiaoxiang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Because she didn't know that she was the bait in the honey trap at first, she was innocently tricked into a fake boat by her brother and Zhou Dudu and became the heroine in this "Sun Liu Lian Yin" conspiracy.

"Zhou Yubao's coup in the world has lost his wife and lost his soldiers." In fact, Zhou Yu's biggest mistake was not to use this tactic, but to expect Mrs. Sun to really have feelings for Liu Bei, which played an indispensable role in Liu Bei's escape. Without Mrs. Sun's strong assistance, how could Liu Bei escape smoothly? Sun Quan's suitors, delivered repeatedly, were not all scolded by Mrs. Sun?

Just, why have you never met Mrs. Sun, even though this noble princess is sure to fall in love with her father? I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out

In any case, this power-centered marriage ended in tragedy. After Liu Bei was sent back to Soochow by his brother, he was defeated in the battle of Yiling. Mrs. Sun thought he was buried in the sea of fire, wept bitterly for Jiang, and threw herself into the river. Perhaps, the reason for her suicide is not only vigorous love, but her sorrow as a political victim. Her suicide made her perhaps the only woman in the honey trap who didn't want to resist her fate, and wrote her own blood in the dark reincarnation.
