 乐毅论

自知其可以王而王者,三王也。自知其不可以王而霸者,五霸也。或者之论曰:“图王不成,其弊犹可以霸。”呜呼!使齐桓、晋文而行汤、武之事,将求亡之不暇,虽欲霸,可得乎?

夫王道者,不可以小用也。大用则王,小用则亡。昔者徐偃王、宋襄公尝行仁义矣,然终以亡其身、丧其国者,何哉?其所施者,未足以充其所求也。故夫有可以得天下之道,而无取天下之心,乃可与言王矣。范蠡、留侯,虽非汤、武之佐,然亦可谓刚毅果敢,卓然不惑,而能有所必为者也。观吴王困于姑苏之上,而求哀请命于勾践,勾践欲赦之,彼范蠡者独以为不可,援桴进兵,卒刎其颈。项籍之解而东,高帝亦欲罢兵归国,留侯谏曰:“此天亡也,急击勿失。”此二人者,以为区区之仁义,不足以易吾之大计也。

嗟夫!乐毅战国之雄,未知大道,而窃尝闻之,则足以亡其身而已矣。论者以为燕惠王不肖,用反间,以骑劫代将,卒走乐生。此其所以无成者,出于不幸,而非用兵之罪。然当时使昭王尚在,反间不得行,乐毅终亦必败。何者?燕之并齐,非秦、楚、三晋之利。今以百万之师,攻两城之残寇,而数岁不决,师老于外,此必有乘其虚者矣。诸侯乘之于内,齐击之于外。当此时,虽太公、穰苴不能无败。然乐毅以百倍之众,数岁而不能下两城者,非其智力不足,盖欲以仁义服齐之民,故不忍急攻而至于此也。夫以齐人苦湣王之强暴,乐毅茍退而休兵,治其政令,宽其赋役,反其田里,安其老幼,使齐人无复斗志,则田单者,独谁与战哉!奈何以百万之师,相持而不决,此固所以使齐人得徐而为之谋也。

当战国时,兵强相吞者,岂独在我?以燕、齐之众,压其城而急攻之,可灭此而后食,其谁曰不可?呜呼!欲王则王,不王则审所处,无使两失焉,而为天下笑也。
