Chapter 12 4th century 50s BC (350-341 BC)

1. Gongsun Yang of Qin State (the capital of Liyang) built a city in Xianyang (Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province) and built a palace.The Qin government then moved its capital here from Liyang. Gongsun Yang ordered: It is strictly forbidden for people's parents, brothers, sisters and daughters-in-law to live in the same room (it is cold in northern China, and in winter they rely on kangs for heating, and a family of men, women, old and young sleep together on a big kang), and a number of villages are assembled into a county, and counties are established as counties. After the combination of the chief (ling) and the chief secretary (cheng), there are 31 counties in Qin State.Abolish the well field system and eradicate rice paddies.Formulate new weights and measures, and unify the national dou, dendrobium, zhang, and chi.

2. Qin State (capital Xianyang) and Wei State (capital Anyi) armies encountered each other in Tongyi (southwest of Hua County, Shaanxi Province). 3. Zhao Zhong (fourth Chenghou), the king of Zhao State (the capital of Handan), passed away, and Zhao Yu, one of his sons, competed with the prince Zhao Yu for the throne.Zhao Yu failed and defected to Han (the capital Xinzheng). There is no record for this year. 1. Gongsun Yang of the State of Qin (capital Xianyang) promulgated a new tax law, which will be implemented immediately. 1. Zhao Fan, a nobleman of the State of Zhao (Handan, the capital), attacked Handan (Handan City, Hebei Province), but was unable to win and was killed.

1. The state of Qi (the capital Linzi) executed Tian Mou, the state official (doctor). 2. Ji Mao, the monarch of the state of Lu (the capital of Qufu) (the thirty-third Kang Gong), passed away, and his son Ji Yan succeeded to the throne (the thirty-fourth), as Jing Gong. 3. The monarch of the state of Wei (Puyang, the capital) (the forty-three-year-old Chenggong) Wei Wei himself was called a marquis, and he was the tail state of Zhao (the capital of Handan), Wei (the capital of Anyi), and South Korea (the capital of Xinzheng). (The state of Wei was originally a marquis, and later became a duke. Now because the country is small and weak, it is demoted by itself.)

There is no record for this year. 1. Several monarchs of the feudal state held a high-level meeting in Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom (to the east of Baima Temple, Luoyang City, Henan Province). 1. The King of Zhou Kingdom (the capital of Luoyang) (the forty-first Xianwang) Ji Bian, the King of Qin (the capital of Xianyang) (the twenty-fifth duke of filial piety) Ying Quliang, the chief of the covenant of the Western China, and the feudal states The monarch congratulated one after another.Ying Quliang ordered his son Ying Shaoguan to lead the army and go to Fengze together with the monarchs of other states ("Geography" said that Fengze is slightly north of Xingxian County, Xingyang, Henan Province. "Chinese Historical Atlas" was drawn in South of Kaifeng City, Henan Province. No matter where it is, the Qin army must pass through Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom. It is reasonable to speculate that it should be in the west of Luoyang.

There is no record for this year. 1. General Pang Juan of Wei State (capital Anyi) led an army to attack South Korea (capital Xinzheng), South Korea asked Qi State (capital Linzi) to rescue.Tian Yinqi, the fourth ruler of the state of Qi, held an imperial meeting and asked for opinions: "It is better to send troops earlier, or later?" Prime Minister Zou Ji objected to sending troops, saying: "It is better not to send troops at all." General Tian Ji said: "If we refuse, South Korea will definitely be annexed by Wei State. If we extend a helping hand, we must extend it early." Sun Bin said: "South Korea has already fought a bloody battle with Wei State, and it is not tired. It is we who will save it at this time. They are beaten. Moreover, the Wei State is on the offensive fiercely, and they must be determined to destroy South Korea. South Korea also understands the dangers they face and must rely on us. The best way is to tell South Korea that we must send troops to strengthen their determination to resist, and wait until Wei's army is taken When the combat strength is almost exhausted, we will intervene again, and the pressure will definitely decrease. At that time, not only can we get huge profits, but we can also get the same name." Tian Yinqi praised and said: "That's how we do it." He secretly assured the Korean envoys, Must send troops to make him return.Relying on the promise of Qi State, South Korea believed that reinforcements would arrive sooner or later, and fought hard to resist, but lost five battles and five defeats.He had no choice but to send another envoy to express to Qi State that he would be downgraded to be the tail state of Qi State.

Therefore, Qi State appointed Tian Ji, Tian Ying, and Tian Pan as commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief respectively.Sun Bin served as the chief of staff and led the army to dispatch. Still using the old strategy, he directly attacked Daliang (Kaifeng City, Henan Province), the accompanying capital of Wei State.Pang Juan hurriedly withdrew his troops back to the blockade, Wei State mobilized all the armed forces in the country, and appointed Prince Wei Shen as the commander in chief, preparing for a decisive battle with Qi State.Sun Bin told Tian Ji: "The soldiers of Zhao (the capital of Handan), Wei, and Han have always been aggressive. They often look down on Qi and think that Qi people are as cowardly as mice. A good commander is to follow the enemy's wishes and lead him to the wrong direction. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: "If you march at a speed of 100 miles, your general will fall down. If you march at a speed of 50 miles, the soldiers will die and flee. When you reach the destination, you can keep half of it at most." We will Pang Juan jump into this Trap." So he ordered that after the army entered Wei's territory, initially build 100,000 stoves.Tomorrow, build 50,000 stoves.The day after tomorrow, build 20,000 stoves.When Pang Juan got the information, he jumped up for joy, and shouted, "I knew the people of Qi were cowardly, but I didn't know how cowardly they were. After entering Wei for three days, more than half of the Qi army had been defeated. At this time, they were chasing and fighting fiercely." If you let them escape, you may not have a chance next time.” He ordered the infantry to advance as usual, and he personally led the elite cavalry unit, with only a small amount of food and fodder, to double the speed to meet them.Sun Bin calculated Pang Juan's itinerary. One evening, when he arrived at Maling (Daming County, Hebei Province), Maling was a dangerous road with narrow roads, deep valleys below, and cliffs above. It was the easiest to hide.Sun Bin ordered to cut off the bark of a big tree, and wrote: "Pang Juan died under this tree." He sent more than 10,000 archers to lie in ambush.The order said: "Seeing the flames, concentrate on shooting."

The time finally came, it was already night, Pang Juan galloped under the tree, saw the trunk was white with words on it, he ordered to hold up the fire to watch, before finishing, ambushes were everywhere, all arrows were fired, Wei cavalry scattered in panic.Knowing that he could not escape the trap, Pang Juan drew his sword and committed suicide. Before he died, he said, "I have made an idiot famous!" Bo Yang said: Pang Juan is really a typical despicable and shameless villain. He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for his injustice until his death. Instead, he criticized Sun Bin for getting famous by getting away with it.

2. Prime Minister Zou Ji of the State of Qi was jealous of Tian Ji, who shocked the world, and tried to frame him. He sent people to the street with two hundred and forty taels of gold to ask for fortune-telling. Combat, three battles and three victories, he intends to carry out a big event, please take a look at the good and bad luck?" When Mr. Divination went out, Zou Ji had someone arrest him.Seeing that the big prison was about to be set off, Tian Ji could not clarify, and was angry and anxious, so he led his guards to raid Linzi (East Linzi Town, Zibo City, Shandong Province), intending to arrest Zou Ji, but Zou Ji had been prepared for a long time, Tian Ji could not win, so he had to go to Chu Kingdom (capital Yingdu).

Bo Yang said: "False accusation of rebellion" is a magic weapon in traditional Chinese politics that works like a god. When a powerful leader wants to exclude his comrades or political enemies, he is accustomed to using it, and those who do it will be crushed.Because it is a combination of politics and law, politics is the content, and the law is just the form, so innocence cannot be punished, it is so vicious that no one can understand it.As a national hero and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Tian Ji has made great contributions to the country and has a very close relationship with the king. However, once he is caught in the massacre of "frauding treason" and killing him, he is immediately helpless.
