The Biography of Shu Wei in the Three Kingdoms in the New Batch and its Translation

Xin Pi biography, Xin Pi, the word George, Zhairen. His ancestors moved from Longxi to Longdong during the Jianwu period. Xin Pi and his younger brother Xin Ping followed Yuan Shao.

When he was in office, he recruited Xin Pi and Xin Pi failed. Later, Yuan Shang attacked his younger brother Yuan Tan in the plain, and Yuan Tan sent Xin Pi to ask Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao is about to conquer Jingzhou, and the army is stationed in Xiping. Xin Pi met Cao Cao and conveyed Yuan Tan's intention. Cao Cao is very happy. A few days later, Cao Cao changed his mind and decided to pacify Jingzhou first, so that the Yuan brothers could be suspicious of each other. A few days later, Cao Cao hosted a banquet. When Xin Pi saw that Cao Cao's face was wrong, he knew that he had changed, so he told Guo Jia about this situation. Guo Jia told Cao Cao again. Cao Cao asked Xin Pi, "Can Yuan Tan be trusted? Can Yuan Shang be defeated? " Xin Pi replied: "The governor doesn't have to ask about trust and deceit, but only about his own situation. Brother Yuan, killing each other, the problem now is not that others can take advantage, but that we should combine Qinghai and Hebei into one, so that we can take the opportunity to pacify the world. Now Yuan Tan asks you for help, and its potential can be imagined. Yuan Shang saw that Yuan Tan was in trouble, but he couldn't capture it, which showed that Yuan Shang's power was not strong. Foreign attack is unfavorable, internal advisers are at odds, fighting with each other, brothers fighting with each other, and the country is divided into two.

After years of fighting, soldiers got lice in their armor and suffered from drought and locust plague. Famine is imminent, the treasury is empty, soldiers March to fight, and there is no dry food on them. What a natural and man-made disaster. No matter a wise man or a fool, anyone who sees this situation knows that he will fall apart. This is God's desire for the destruction of Yuan Shang! Sun Tzu's art of war says that without food, even with strong castles and elite armed forces, you can't win. If we attack Yecheng now, Yuan Shang will not be saved by Li, and he himself will lose it. If Li is rescued, Yuan Tan will follow. With your prestige, meeting a poor enemy is as easy as the autumn wind blowing leaves. God gave you Yuan Shang this piece of fat, but you didn't eat it. Instead, you wanted to attack Jingzhou. Jingzhou is rich and happy, and there is no danger in China. Zhong Kui once said:' Take the land of chaos and death. Now Yuaner doesn't think about the future, but kills each other, which is called "chaos"; People who live in the city and those who March outside have no food. This is called' death'. Second, Yuan Chao is reckless and worried. At this time, instead of appeasing, you want to wait for the next year. But if the next year's harvest is good, they also know that they are in danger. From then on, they turned over a new leaf and practiced morality, and you lost the chance to fight. Now you should comply with Yuan Tan's request and give comfort, which is the best thing for you. Besides, there are no bandits in all directions who surpass Hebei. If we can pacify the land of Hebei, the six armies will be strong and the world will be surprised. "Cao cao nodded, that's right! "So he agreed to Yuan Tan's request and stationed in Liyang. In the second year, he attacked Yecheng and won a great victory. Xin Pi is recommended as the representative in the above table. Emperor xelloss of Wei Wendi acceded to the throne, appointed Xin Pi as assistant, and conferred the title of Hou in Shanhaiguan. At that time, the DPRK discussed the revision of Zhengshuo. Xin Pi believed that Cao Wei followed the tradition of giving way to Shun and Yu, which was in line with God's will and won the hearts of the people. As for Shang Tang and Wu Zhou, they won the world by force, so they are faced with the problem of correcting the new moon.

Confucius said, "According to the Xia Dynasty." Zuo Zhuan said: "The number of days in the summer calendar is orthodox (the first day of the first month is the first of the year)." Why do you want to modify it in the opposite direction? Xelloss felt that it made sense, so he stopped talking about revising what he was talking about. Cao Pi wants to move 100,000 families from Jizhou to Henan to enrich the land. At that time, locusts were plaguing for years and people were starving. In this case, the ministers think that immigration is not appropriate. But Cao Pi still insists on his own opinion. Xin Pi and his courtiers both asked to see the emperor. Cao Pi knew that they were coming to remonstrate again, so he summoned them seriously, but all the ministers were silent. Xin Pi said, "Your Majesty wants to move the gentry. Why did you come up with this idea?" Cao Pi said, "Do you think my immigration policy is wrong?" Xin Pi said: "It is really inappropriate." Cao Pi said, "I won't discuss this with you." Xin Pi said, "You don't think I'm incompetent, so you put me by your side to give advice. How can you not discuss this with me? " I'm not talking about self-interest, but about the country. Why are you so angry? "Xelloss ignored, stood up and entered the back room. Xin Pi followed, pulling xelloss sleeve again. Xelloss forcibly off Xin Pi's hand, no longer look back, angrily broke into the back room. After a long time, Cao Pi came out and said, "Xin Pi, why are you in such a hurry to grab my clothes? "Xin Pi said:" Large-scale immigration will lose people's hearts and there will be no food supply. "Xelloss decided to relocate only 50,000 households. Xin Pi used to shoot pheasants with xelloss. Cao Pi said: "Shooting pheasants is a happy thing. Xin Pi said, "It's fun for you to shoot pheasants, but it's hard work for our minister." Xelloss kept silent. I seldom go out hunting in the future.

General Cao Zhen conquered Zhu Ran in Jiangling, and Xin Pi was the military adviser. After Xin Pi transferred soldiers, he was named Guangping Hou Ting. Cao Pi wanted to attack Wu Dong, but Xin Pi remonstrated, saying, "The people of Wu Chu are hard to control. Winning by morality, they naturally surrender; If morality declines, they will betray themselves. This situation did not begin today, and the ancients regarded them as a menace. Now that your majesty owns the world, can those who disrespect your majesty last long? Once upon a time, the commander-in-chief of South Vietnam proclaimed himself emperor, and Gongsun Shu was called the son of heaven. It didn't take long for him to surrender or be killed. Why? It runs counter to the main road, so it won't last long. If there is great virtue, no one is unconvinced. Now the world has just settled, the land is empty and the population is sparse. Under normal circumstances, if you want to go out to crusade, the court must have a strategy. In this way, I still have to worry when I send troops, for fear that I am ill-considered, and now I haven't even handled this minimum work well. I think it's really impossible to win. The first emperor mobilized more than once, but every time he just crossed the river and returned. The number of troops now has not increased compared with the past, but if we have to start again, it will not be easy to win.

The best policy should be to practice according to Fan Li's method and live and work in peace and contentment. A country ruled by law by Guan Zhong; Then follow the example of Zhao Chongguo's reclamation method and affirm Confucius' Pingyuan policy. If so, ten years later, today's strong people are still young and strong, and their children have grown up. By then, everyone can take part in the war, millions of residents will understand justice, and officers and men will strive to fight for their country. At this time, if you fight, you will be invincible. "Xelloss said," in your opinion, should we leave the enemy to our children and grandchildren to destroy? Xin Pi replied: "In the past, Zhou Wenwang left Shangzhou to destroy Zhou Wuwang, and he knew the time. If the times are unfavorable, you can endure it for a while. " Cao Pi did not listen, but led his army to attack Wu. As a result, he came to the river and came back. Wei Mingdi acceded to the throne, named Xin Pi Hou of Xiang Ying, and took 300 families to eat here. At that time, Liu Fang, the secretariat, and Sun Zi, the secretariat, were highly valued by Ming Di, who acted arbitrarily in state affairs. All the ministers tried their best to get in touch with them, but Xin Pi stayed away from them. Xin Chang, the son of Xin Pi, advised him, "Now that Liu and Sun are in charge of state affairs, everyone is buttering up, lest they fall behind. You'd better condescend and die with the light, otherwise they will definitely slander you. " Xin Pi said seriously, "Although today's emperor is not smart, he is not a fatuous and stubborn person. I stand on the road and have my own standards. Even if I don't get along well with Liu and Sun, I won't be allowed to work for three fairs at most. What harm can it do! How can a gentleman ruin his integrity for the title of Sangong? " Redundant servant patted the track: "Wang Si, the servant of Shangshu, is a very diligent and shrewd veteran, but his Hanukkah strategy is not as good as Xin Pi's. Xin Pi should be replaced by Wang Si. " Ming Di asked Liu Fang and her grandson about it.

The two men said, "Your Majesty appointed Wang Si for his practical work, not for his hollow reputation. Xin Pi does have integrity, but he is straightforward and arbitrary. Your majesty should consider it carefully. " As a result, Xin Pi was not used as a servant of Shangshu, but as a guard. Ming Di renovated the palace and people worked hard. Xin Pi urged, "I heard that Zhuge Liang talked about the military, and Sun Quan went to Liaodong to buy horses. It seems that he wants to expand his strength. Be prepared at any time to prevent accidents, which has been praised as good governance since ancient times. Nowadays, large-scale construction, coupled with years of grain failure. There is a poem in the Book of Songs:' It wastes people's money and endangers a well-off society. If we can appease the people in Beijing, people in all directions will be at peace. "May your Majesty put the country first." Ming Di replied: "Wu Dong and Xishu have not been destroyed, but great construction is under way here, which can provide opportunities for those who dare to speak up for their reputation. The emperor's capital should be shared by the people and built together, so as to avoid future generations wasting people's money. This is Xiao He's basic strategy for planning the capital of Han Dynasty. Now that you are an important minister in the DPRK, you should understand this. " Ming Di wants to level Mangshan Mountain and build a tower on it, where he can see Jin Meng.

Xin Pi remonstrated, saying, "Heaven and earth have their own nature. Let the high be high and the low be low. Now they do the opposite, which is not in line with heaven and wastes people's money and people's suffering. Besides, if the river overflows, floods endanger and the mountains are razed to the ground, how can we defend? " Ming Di didn't stop.

In the second year of Qinglong (234), Zhuge Liang led an army to attack Weinan. Prior to this, General Sima Yi repeatedly requested to send troops to crusade against Zhuge Liang, but Ming Di refused. I'm afraid I can't stop Sima Yi this year, so I appointed Xin Pi as Sima Yi's strategist. The whole army stood in awe, and no one dared to disobey orders. Zhuge Liang is dead. Xin Pi returned to the imperial court and was appointed Wei Yan. Chasing Su Hou after death. Son Xinchang succeeded to the throne, and in the middle of Xi's reign (264 ~ 265), Xinchang became the magistrate of Hanoi.
