燕昭王

郭魄给燕昭王讲了一个“千金买骨”的故事。

Guo Kui told him the story of " Buying Bones with 1000 Pieces of Gold " .

公元前284年，燕昭王为报仇雪恨，以乐毅为帅出兵伐齐。5年间，除莒和即墨（今山东即墨市）两个城外，攻下齐70余城。

In 284 B. C. , King Zhao of Yan dispatched general Yue Yi to launch a retaliatory war against Qi and in five years , took more than seventy cities , leaving only two cities , Ju and Jimo ( the present Jimo city , Shandong ) , still in Qi 's control .

燕国国君燕昭王即位后不久，去拜访贤士郭魄先生，向他请教如何治国图强，为先王报仇，为国雪耻。

Shortly after King Zhao of the State of Yan came to the throne , he went to visit Guo Kui , an able and virtuous scholar , and asked for his advice on how to govern the state and make it strong , and how to avenge his father and wipe off the shame of the state .
