Bao assisted Childe, and Guan Zhong assisted Childe Nine. In order to support the reorganization of the succession, Guan Zhong once shot Xiao Bai with one arrow, and Xiao Bai faked his death, and returned to China early to succeed to the throne, becoming a famous Qi Huangong in history. Became a monarch, Bao recommended Guan Zhong.

Xiaobai is bent on revenge. Bao advised, "Few of my men are loyal to their masters. If you reuse Guan Zhong, with his dual loyalty and talent, you can shoot the world for you. Is it comparable to the shooting hook? "

On Bao's recommendation, he decided to let bygones be bygones and appointed Guan Zhong as Xiang. Guan Zhong carried out a series of reforms in Qi State, and gained the hegemony of Qi State, and Qi Huangong became the earliest overlord among the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.

2. An old horse knows the way

In 663 BC, the northern Yan State (whose capital is now Beijing) sent messengers for help, saying that Yan State was invaded by a nearby tribe, Shanrong, and was defeated. Qi Huangong decided to save Yan with a great army. When the Qi army arrived in Yan State, Dan Rong had already robbed a group of people and treasures and fled back.

The Qi and Yan armies joined forces to pursue the north. Unexpectedly, they were led into a mysterious valley by the enemy. The lost valley is like the sea, it has no edge and no edge, and it can't find its original road.

Guan Zhong came up with an idea. He said to Qi Huangong, "A horse may know the way. Why don't you find some local old horses and let them walk in their heads? Maybe they can leave this place. " Qi Huangong selected some old horses and let them lead the way. These old horses really led the troops out of the mysterious valley.

3. Tian Ji horse racing

Qi emissary came to Daliang, and Sun Bin visited secretly as a criminal to persuade Qi emissary. The emissary of Qi thought this man was very strange, so he secretly took him back to Qi. Tian Ji, the general of Qi, appreciated him very much and treated him as a distinguished guest. Tian Ji often raced with the sons of Qi State and made huge bets.

Sun Bin found that their horses were all about the same strength, and the horses were divided into upper, middle and lower grades. He said to Tian Ji, "You bet big, and I can let you win." Tian Ji, promised him, and the king of qi and your childe made a bet.

The game is about to start. Sun Bin said, "Now deal with their superior horse with your inferior horse, their middle horse with your superior horse, and their inferior horse with your middle horse." After three games, Tian Ji lost one game and won two games, and finally won the money bet of Qi Wang. So Tian Ji recommended Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang. Qi Weiwang asked him about the art of war, so he regarded him as a teacher.

4. Guan Bao's friendship

Guan Zhong has a good friend named Bao, and their friendship is very deep. They do business together. When Guan Zhong makes money in business, he always gives himself more and less packages. Bao never argued with Guan Zhong about this issue.

People secretly say that Guan Zhong is greedy for money and doesn't care about friendship. After Bao knew it, he explained for Guan Zhong that Guan Zhong was not indifferent to friendship, but greedy for money. He did it because his family was poor, and I was willing to give him more money. Guan Zhong called three times, but he escaped all three times.

So people laughed at him, saying that Guan Zhong was afraid of death and had no spirit of brave sacrifice. Hearing this sneer, Bao knew that this was not in line with the actual situation of Guan Zhong, so he explained to people that Guan Zhong was not afraid of death, because his family had an old mother and he had to rely on him to support himself, so he had to do that.

The friendship between Guan Zhong and Bao is very sincere. He also tried many times to do something good for Bao, but all failed. It not only failed, but also caused many new difficulties to the package. It is better not to do it well.

Therefore, people think that Guan Zhong has no ability to do things, but Bao doesn't think so. He knows in his heart that his friend Guan Zhong is a very capable person. Things didn't work out because the time was not ripe. In the long-term exchanges, the two have forged a profound friendship. Guan Zhong told people many times that my parents gave birth to me and Bao Shu Ya knew me.

Lu was defeated by Qi in the second battle. Under the pressure of Qi, he killed Gong Zijiu, suddenly arrested Guan Zhong and Zhao, and prepared to take them back with a view to withdrawing troops. Zhao Hu committed suicide to express his loyalty to Gong Zijiu.

Before he died, he said to Guan Zhong, "I am dead, and Miyako can be said to be a loyal minister who is dead; You have made outstanding achievements in your life, and let Qi dominate the princes. Miyako is a living minister for a long time. The dead achieve virtue, while the living achieve fame. Life and death are all responsibilities, and you should do it yourself. "
