上下五千年第11个故事:武王伐纣 King Wu's Conquest of Zhou 周文王姬昌去世后,次子姬发继位为周武王,尊姜尚为军师,联合周公旦等宗亲积蓄力量,筹备伐商。他率军东进时,先以商朝属国名义抬着文王木牌位试探诸侯,在孟津与八百诸侯会盟,却因商纣王仍有一定势力,暂回丰京等待时机。 此后纣王昏庸暴虐愈甚:见渡河者老少畏寒差异,竟剖其腿骨验髓;又与妲己打赌孕妇胎儿性别,当场剖腹查看;贤臣箕子直言劝谏被剃发为奴,比干强谏遭剖心而死,微子见状携家出逃,商朝朝堂分崩离析。 周武王见商朝气数已尽,遂率三百乘兵车、五万精兵东征,行至途中遇孤竹国伯夷、叔齐拦路谏阻,姜尚命士兵将二人拉开,大军继续向朝歌进发,伐纣之战正式展开。 After King Wen of Zhou died, his son King Wu ascended the throne, with Jiang Ziya as his military advisor. He tested the lords at Mengjin first, then marched east when King Zhou of Shang grew more tyrannical—he mutilated people and killed loyal ministers. Two hermits tried to stop the army, but Jiang Ziya ignored them, and the conquest began.
