Chapter 18 2. Annexation of six countries

This century is a century of tragic melee. As a result of the annexation of various kingdoms, there are only seven kingdoms left—Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin.Soon, it was completely wiped out by the Qin Kingdom.The Warring States Period is over.Qin became the first and most powerful dynasty in Chinese history.But the civil war broke out again, and the two reckless heroes Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought each other.At the end of this century, Liu Bang's Western Han Dynasty unified China. 1. Kingdom of Wei (capital Daliang) ceded the territory of Hedong (southwest of Shanxi Province) for 400 miles to Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang).

2. The Kingdom of Han (capital Xinzheng) ceded the territory of Wusui (southeast of Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province) 200 miles to the Kingdom of Qin. 3. Mang (surname) Mao, the general of the Kingdom of Wei, was famous for his fraudulent tactics and began to be valued by all countries. 1. The Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) Daliang Zao (the fifth level of Qin officials) Bai Qi, the foreign advisor (Keqing) Sima Cuo, attacked the Kingdom of Wei, the army arrived in Zhiyi (southeast of Jiyuan City, Henan Province), and captured sixty-one cities. (Last year, the Kingdom of Wei only ceded 400 miles of territory, and achieved peace for only one year. Before the Kingdom of Qin fully digested the new territory, it started another bloody battle of aggression in the Warring States Period, which was already heating up.)

1. In winter, in October, the King of the Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji, who called himself the "Emperor of the West", sent a high-level envoy to Linzi (East Linzi Town, Zibo City, Shandong Province) in order to balance the international balance of power. It is suggested that the king of the Qi Kingdom (capital Linzi) (the third king of Min) should call his land "East Emperor", and suggest that the East and West Emperors should conclude an alliance and attack the Zhao Kingdom (capital Handan).It happened that Su Dai came to visit Qi Kingdom from Yan Kingdom (the capital Jicheng). Tian Di asked him, "Qin Kingdom sent its prime minister Wei Ran to persuade me to call me Eastern Emperor. What do you think?" Su Dai said: "I I think you can accept his suggestion, but don't announce it to the public. Yingji calls the Western Emperor, if there is no objection, it is not too late for you to announce that you are the Eastern Emperor. Yingji calls the Western Emperor, and everyone denounces it, so you don't mention it this time All countries still respect you, which is also a political capital. As for fighting, which one is more beneficial to attack the Kingdom of Zhao than to attack the Kingdom of Song (capital Suiyang)? It should also be considered. I mean, you'd better not Called the Eastern Emperor to win international support, and then crusade against the wicked Song Kingdom. After conquering the Song Kingdom, Chu Kingdom (capital Yingdu), Zhao Kingdom, Wei Kingdom (capital Daliang), and Wei Kingdom (capital Puyang) will all be afraid. We put a false name on Yingji, so that the whole world hates him. This is a way to use modest means to gain honor for ourselves." Tian Di accepted his suggestion, calling "East Emperor" only two days, Return the honorary title to King Qin.

In December, Lu Li went from Qi Kingdom to Qin Kingdom.Yingji didn't want to fall into the trap, so he canceled the title of emperor and continued to be called king. 2. The Kingdom of Qin attacked the Kingdom of Zhao and occupied Ganyang (Qingxu County, Shanxi Province). 1. The Kingdom of Qin (the capital Xianyang) attacked the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang), and even fell into Xinyuan (Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province) and Quyang (west of Jiyuan City, Henan Province). 1. Sima Cuo, a foreign advisor (Keqing) of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang), attacked Hanoi (north of the Yellow River in Henan Province) which belonged to the Kingdom of Wei (Daliang, the capital).The Qin army took over the city of Anyi, but expelled all the people of the state of Wei in the city.

2. The Qin army and the Han army fought in Xiashan (unknown today), and defeated the Han army.
3. In the sparrow's nest at the corner of the city wall in Suiyang (Shangqiu County, Henan Province), the capital of the Song Kingdom, a newly hatched eaglet was found. Regarding this unusual phenomenon, the sorcerer used divination to infer good or bad luck. The sorcerer said: " Small and big, it turns the weak into strong, and becomes the harbinger of the overlord." Song Yan, the king of Song (one Kang Wang), was very excited, and sent his army to attack, destroying Teng State (Tengzhou City, Shandong Province), and attacking Xue State ( Nanxue City, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province).Then spread its prestige on all sides: attack the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi) to the east, and capture five towns.Attack the Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) to the south and seize land for three hundred miles.Defeat the kingdom of Wei to the west, and confront Qi and Wei at the same time.A series of astonishing military victories made him more confident in dominating the world.In order to speed up the establishment of hegemony, he shot the sky with a bow and arrow and beat the ground with a long whip, expressing that he dared to challenge the gods.Destroying the altar (sheji) that worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth shows that he doesn't even care about ghosts.Drinking for a long night in the palace, the attendants in the house shouted "Long live", the officials in the hall responded casually, and the crowd outside the palace gate also shouted in unison.As a result, the whole city was filled with the sound of "long live".The countries of the world were astonished at this declining upstart, and gave him the name "Jie" (Jie, the nickname of Si Lugui, the last king of the Xia Dynasty, is already a dead word. Unexpectedly, 1,400 years later , has reappeared in the world) to describe it has become a tyrannical state.The king of the Qi Kingdom (the third King Min) launched an attack first, the army and people of the Song Kingdom collapsed (the wagging system that shouted long live had already run away), and the capital fell.Song Yan fled to the Kingdom of Wei and died in Wencheng (west of Wenxian County, Henan Province. The Kingdom of Song was destroyed so far, and the state was established for 44 years. If the history of the state is included, from the first two years to the first 286 years, the state was established Eight hundred and twenty-seven).

Bo Yang said: Song Yan escaped before the fall of the capital Suiyang and fled to Wencheng, where he was finally captured by the pursuers of the Qi Kingdom.This 80-year-old man with a bright head jumped to the Shennong Stream (west of Wen County, Henan Province) to survive, but was pulled up and beheaded.He appears to be a precursor to Hitler, one of the four villains of the twentieth century.The similarities between the two have at least the following items: - They are the leaders of the country. ——Their countries have a long and glorious history. ——Their countries are all surrounded by great powers, unable to move.

——They all engage in personality cults and persecute their own citizens. ——They all wiped out some smaller countries to make their prestige reach its peak. ——They all challenged and defeated their strong neighbors in the same way, and their territory expanded greatly. ——They are all boastful and have no self-restraint ability. —None of them were mad for very long. ——They all drove the country into disaster, were surrounded and fought back, and tens of millions of people died. —In the end, they all died in front of the enemy. ——They all left eternal infamy and are despised. 1. King Ying Ji of the Kingdom of Qin (the capital of Xianyang) (the third King of Zhaoxiang) held a summit meeting with King Miheng of the Kingdom of Chu (the capital of Yingdu) (the 22nd King of Qingxiang) in Wancheng (Nanyang City, Henan Province) , and then held a summit meeting in Zhongyang (Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province) with King Zhao (the capital of Handan) (the second Huiwen King) Zhao He.

2. Meng Wu, the general of the Qin Kingdom, attacked the Qi Kingdom (the capital Linzi), breaking nine cities in a row. 3. The land of King Qi (the third King Min), since he annexed the Kingdom of Song (capital Suiyang), found that his wisdom was indeed superior to others, so he was so proud.So he attacked the Kingdom of Chu, and then attacked the Three Jins (Kingdom of Zhao, Kingdom of Wei, and Kingdom of Han).The target is directed at the Zhou Kingdom (the capital Luoyang) that has been split into two, threatening to oust the Emperor Zhou and let him do it.Minister Hu Ying (pronounced xuan. "Hanshu" as Hu Yuan) accused him of absurdity, and Tian Di escorted him to the market to behead him.Chen Ju continued to persuade, and Tian Di tied Chen Ju to the east gate of the capital Linzi (East Linzi Town, Zibo City, Shandong Province) for execution.

4. Ji Ping, the king of the Yan Kingdom (the capital of Jicheng (the fourth king of Zhao), strengthened his combat training day and night, promoted talents, and gave them official titles and wealth. He received information about the anger of the Qi Kingdom and thought that the time had come, so he conspired with Le Yi Launch a large-scale attack to destroy the country. Le Yi said: "The Kingdom of Qi is a descendant of hegemony. It has a vast territory and a large number of people. With the strength of our Kingdom of Yan, it is not easy to succeed in a single attack. If we must launch this war, It is best to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Zhao, the Kingdom of Chu, and the Kingdom of Wei, and go out together." Ji Ping then sent Le Yi to the Kingdom of Zhao, and then sent other envoys to Chu and Wei respectively, and through the Kingdom of Zhao, promised to the Kingdom of Qin to share it with them. Quite beneficial. The kings of various countries have long been disgusted with the arrogance of the fields, so they are eager to act as soon as possible, and the conspiracy hits off.

1. The Kingdom of Yan (Jicheng, the capital) gathered all its troops and appointed Le Yi as the supreme commander (general) of the expeditionary force.The Kingdom of Zhao (the capital Handan) also appointed Le Yi as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Zhao; the general (Wei) Sili of the Kingdom of Qin (the capital Xianyang) also arrived with his army to join the troops of Zhao, Wei and Han.Le Yi, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, attacked the Kingdom of Qi (the capital Linzi) with the power of Mount Tai.In the field of King Qi (the third king of Min), he recruited the national armed forces to fight in Jixi (west of Jishui, Jishui is one of the tributaries of the ancient Yellow River, flowing through Henan Province and northern Shandong Province, most of the rivers have been submerged today), The Qi army was defeated.Le Yi asked Qin Jun and Han Jun to go first (the border between the two countries is not connected with the Kingdom of Qi, so you can't covet land, you can only plunder gold and silver property).Invite the Wei army to occupy the territory of the old Song Kingdom (capital Suiyang), and invite the Zhao army to seize Hejian (Xianxian County, Hebei Province).Le Yi personally led the Expeditionary Army of the Kingdom of Yan, went deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Qi, and captured the main force of the field army of the Kingdom of Qi.

General Ji Xin of the Yan Army said: "The Kingdom of Qi is strong and the Kingdom of Yan is weak. Fortunately, it was defeated with the assistance of other countries. We should take advantage of the victory over the remaining power to seize the towns and passes on the border and expand our territory. This benefit is long-term. Now you are using leap-frog tactics to ignore some towns and passes, and just pursue them blindly. This will not cause losses to the Qi Kingdom, and it is impossible for the Yan Kingdom to gain benefits. Said: "Otherwise, Tiandi is a fatuous man, he thinks he has made great achievements and outstanding talents, and he always insists on doing his own thing. All virtuous people are dismissed. He only trusts his tail-wagging system, administrative laws, and there is no one that is not violent. The people The resentment towards him has reached boiling point. Now at the beginning of the great defeat, if we take advantage of the victory to exert pressure, his subordinates and citizens will inevitably rebel and cause internal chaos. The Kingdom of Qi is not invincible. If we do not take advantage of the victory to pursue, one day, He suddenly realized the mistakes of the past, corrected his mistakes, and cared about his subordinates and the people, and our previous efforts were wasted." So he marched forward.The Yan army pursued and fought fiercely, and the hearts of the Qi people really collapsed.After Tiandi fled, Le Yi entered the capital Linzi (East Linzi Town, Zibo City, Shandong Province), and transported the gold and silver treasures and precious sacrificial utensils (including those looted from the Yan Kingdom in the first 314 years) of the Kingdom of Qi back to the Kingdom of Yan. . Ji Ping, who was overjoyed after receiving the good news, personally went to Jishang (west of Jishui) to work in the army, presented rewards, and entertained the soldiers.Feng Le Yichang, the king, ordered him to stay in the city that the Kingdom of Qi had surrendered and had not captured yet. 2. Tiandi defected to the state of Wei (Puyang, the capital), and the king of the state of Wei (the forty-fifth term) Wei Sijun (name unknown), let him stay in the palace. He called himself "Chen" and provided him with all his supplies.However, when Tian Di uttered evil words, the officials of the state of Wei immediately retorted.Unable to live in the fields, they fled to Zou State (Zou County, Shandong Province) and Lu State (Qufu City, Shandong Province). The attitude was still arrogant, and the two countries refused to enter.Finally, Tian Di fled to Jucheng (Ju County, Shandong Province). The Kingdom of Chu (capital Yingdu) sent a general Naochi to lead an army to rescue the Kingdom of Qi, and Tiandi appointed Naochi as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Qi.Nao Chi secretly formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Yan in an attempt to carve up the Kingdom of Qi.So Tian Di was arrested and reprimanded him, saying: "Between Qiancheng (Gaoqing County, Shandong Province) and Bochang (Boxing County, Shandong Province), there is a place for hundreds of miles, blood rains from the sky, and clothes are polluted. Do you know that? "Tian said: "I know." Naochi said: "Between Yingyi (Laiwu City, Shandong Province) and Boyi (Tai'an City, Shandong Province), the land cracked and subsided, and you saw spring water, do you know?" Tian said: " I know." Nao Chi said: "Someone is lying on the outside of the palace gate and crying loudly. When you look for someone, you can't see him, and when you don't look for him, you hear crying again. Do you know?" Tian said: "Yes." Nao Chi said: "When the sky rains blood, it is the sky that warns you. When the earth collapses, it is the earth that warns you. Someone is crying at the gate of the palace, and it is the people who warn you. The heaven, earth and people warn you, but you don't care. How can you not kill?" In Guli (south of Juxian County, Shandong Province), the fields were put to death. Xun Kuang said: A country is a situation in the world.If you have the ability to govern, you will have great security, great glory, and become the source of happiness, and you will never end up enjoying glory and wealth.Without the ability to govern, it is just the opposite. There are great dangers and troubles, and it is better to have no government at all.Once in a desperate situation, with the dignity of a king, it is impossible to be a street citizen. Tian Di and Song Yan are examples. As a national leader, if you can establish etiquette and righteousness, you can be a holy king.If you can build credibility, you can be the overlord.If you only rely on power tactics, you must perish.Leading the people of the whole country to pursue propriety and righteousness will do no harm to anyone.Doing a criminal thing, killing an innocent person, even if you can gain political power, caring people will not do it.But he only knows how to protect the country openly and honestly, and his heart is like a rock.The contribution to politics lies in recommending honest people.The contribution to litigation lies in making good laws.The contribution to the king lies in the planning of correct plans and policies.In this case, etiquette and righteousness can be implemented and become the foundation.Only when the foundation is solid can the country be stable; only when the country is stable can the world be peaceful.Using the power of the country to promote the quality of etiquette and righteousness, one day's work can receive results. Zi Tianyi (Tang) and Ji Fa (Wu) are proofs that once the etiquette and righteousness are established, one can become a holy king. Although the personal morality has not yet reached its peak, although the etiquette and righteousness have not yet been perfected, the governance of the country has already obtained the essentials.Rewards and punishments are just and selfless, which has been widely believed in the world.The dignity of the law has been understood by the officials.The orders issued by the government, even if there are mistakes, must be carried out fairly and will never deceive the people.The contract oath, even if you find that it is not good for you, you will never go back on your word.Under such circumstances, combat power will naturally increase, national defense will be impeccable, and it is impossible for the enemy not to be afraid.Once the politics is clear, the allies will definitely trust it, and even small and remote countries can also gain international respect.The five overlords (Jiang Xiaobai, Duke Huan of the 16th King of Qi, Ji Chonger, Duke Wen of the 24th King of Jin Dynasty, Duke Mu Ying Renhao, Duke Mu of the Ninth King of Qin Dynasty, Milu, King Zhuang of the Sixth King of Chu, and Wu Guang, the Sixth King of Wu Dynasty) are a proof.Proof that once established, you can be the overlord. Leading the people of the whole country to pursue utilitarianism, ignoring etiquette and morality, not paying attention to reputation, defrauding the people domestically for a small profit, and defrauding allies internationally for a small profit.He doesn't cherish what he has, but grabs it from outside.Therefore, officials and citizens had to deal with his superiors with deceit.Therefore, the superior deceives the inferior, the inferior deceives the superior, and the superior and inferior deceive each other.Enemies despise it, allies suspect it.Life is full of tricks, and the country is inevitably dangerous, weakened, and finally destroyed.Tian Di and Tian Wen (Meng Changjun, Xue Guoguo. Tian Wen died, and the princes competed for the throne, and Qi and Wei divided it up, refer to 279 years ago), which is a proof. Tiandi governs the powerful Qi Kingdom, instead of establishing faith, reforming politics, and moving towards the goal of unifying the world, but wastes energy on forming parties for personal gain and fighting against foreign countries.It looked extremely powerful, breaking the Kingdom of Chu in the south, subduing the Kingdom of Qin in the west, defeating the Kingdom of Yan in the north, and annihilating the Kingdom of Song in one fell swoop in the Central Plains.However, once the Five Kingdoms rebounded, like a Hercules shaking off the dead leaves from a dead tree, he died and the country was destroyed, resulting in the most tragic massacre in the world, so that later generations always use him as an example when talking about tyrants.Not because of other reasons, but because he governed the country without etiquette and righteousness, but with power. These three items - etiquette, credibility, and power tactics, wise national leaders should choose carefully; caring national leaders must distinguish clearly.Those who have the ability to make the right choice control others, and those who do not have the ability to make the right choice are controlled by others. Bo Yang said: The original text of Tian Di's death is too brief, which dilutes the seriousness of the matter and deprives readers of the right to obtain the truth.The execution of Tian Di by Nao Chi was not a slash with a big knife and the head fell to the ground, but a cruel torture.Nao Chi hung the field on the roof beams, peeling and cramping alive.Under the torture, this arrogant old man wailed for two days and two nights before he passed away.What we don't understand is that Nao Chi's time with him is very short, and there is no possibility of blood feud.Even if there is a conflict of interest, it is enough to kill him on the spot, so why did he do this?Not to mention dealing with a monarch, even if dealing with a bandit, using this kind of torture is a appalling atrocity. There is only one explanation that is reasonable, and that is Tian Di's arrogant attitude, which exceeds the upper limit of Nao Chi's tolerance, which arouses cruel murderous intent - Nao Chi wants to see what kind of face Tian Di will show when he is hoisted to the beam and cramp ?The original text records that Nao Chi counted down Tian Di: "Do you know?" Tian Di's answer is always: "Yes." But in "Warring States Policy", Tian Di's answer is always: "I don't know." Mr. Sima Guang put "" I don't know" was changed to "know", the reason is unknown, but it weakened the violent arrogance of the field.When he answered "I don't know", he obviously didn't expect that Nao Chi would treat him like that, so if you ask three questions, what can you do to me?The villain's tone is vivid on the paper. The reason why Tiandi was expelled from Weiguo was that he didn't pay attention to Weiguo's monarch at all. He treated Weiguo's senior officials as a slave and forced the other party to cut off the supply, so he had to escape.However, he did not learn the lesson. When he arrived at the border of Lu State, he asked Lu State to serve him with the etiquette of the emperor. The king of Lu State must go to the kitchen to inspect the cooking sooner or later, and stand under the steps to wait for the field to eat. After the field eats, Lu Only when the king of the country can resign and take care of his own affairs, the state of Lu finally drove him away.When we arrived in the state of Zou, it happened that the king of the state of Zou had passed away, and Tian Tian wanted to mourn as the emperor.Tian Di sat at the altar in the north, accepting the cry of the new monarch and raising his hands to express his condolences.Zou Guo finally drove him away. On the way of fleeing, the country has been broken, good or bad is uncertain, and he is still playing airs and showing off.Later, when he arrived in Jucheng, Jucheng was his own territory, and Naochi was the prime minister appointed by him. The face he showed to Naochi and made a strong impression on Naochi must be impressive, and that was the energy for cruel revenge.
3. Le Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army (Jicheng, the capital), respected the virtuous reputation of Wang Bing, a native of Dayi (East of Zibo City, Shandong Province), and ordered the Yan Army not to enter within 30 miles of Dayi; Wang Huan declined.General Yan Jun warned him: "If you refuse the invitation, we will massacre the city." Wang Tong said: "Loyal ministers do not serve second rulers, and martyred women do not marry second husbands. If the country is destroyed and the ruler is dead, I cannot let it survive. Now use Violence hijacks me, and it is better to die seeking righteousness than to live unjustly." So he hanged himself on a tree. 4. The army of Yan drove straight in, and the cities of the Kingdom of Qi collapsed upon hearing the news.Le Yi trained the troops, strictly prohibited robbery, visited the talented people of the Qi Kingdom, gave them official titles, honored them as guests, reduced the people's taxes, and abolished the tyranny of the field era.Le Yi divided his troops to attack: the left army crossed Jiaoshui (Jiaolai River, Shandong Peninsula) and arrived at Donglai (the eastern half of Shandong Peninsula).The front army went straight to the sea (Yellow Sea) and occupied Langya (south of Jiaonan City, Shandong Province).Along Jishui (a tributary of the ancient Yellow River) and the Yellow River, the Right Route Army stationed in Ayi (Dong'e County, Shandong Province) and Juancheng (Juancheng County, Shandong Province), and was in close contact with the troops of the Kingdom of Wei (the capital Daliang).The rear army is close to the North Sea (Bohai Bay), defending Qiancheng (Gaoqing County, Shandong Province).The Commander of the Expeditionary Army set up Linzi (the capital of Qi, East Linzi Town, Zibo City, Shandong Province) to worship Jiang Xiaobai (the sixteenth monarch of Qi State), the first of the Five Hegemons, and Guan Zhong, the prime minister.Gentlemen and talents in the streets and alleys are all praised.Grand burial of Wang Yun.Among the citizens of the Kingdom of Qi, there were more than 20 people who received fiefs in the Kingdom of Yan, and more than 100 people were knighted.In six months, more than 70 cities were occupied, and all of them were changed to counties and counties of the Kingdom of Yan. 5. King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Yingji, King Wei (the third king of Zhao) Wei Wei, and King Han (the third king of Li) Han Jiu held a ceremony in Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom (to the east of Baima Temple, Luoyang City, Henan Province). High level meeting. 1. King Ying Ji of the Kingdom of Qin (capital Xianyang) (the third king of Zhaoxiang), and King Zhao He (the second king of Huiwen) of the Kingdom of Zhao (the capital of Handan) held a high-level meeting in Rangcheng (Dengzhou City, Henan Province). 2. The Qin Army (capital Xianyang) attacked Wei Kingdom (capital Daliang), fell into Ancheng (west of Yuanyang County, Henan Province), and went straight to Daliang (Wei Capital·Kaifeng City, Henan Province), and began to retreat. (The kings of the two countries shook hands and talked happily last year. This year, they will attack immediately. The army has arrived at the capital city. The Qin army has run amok, and the countries are still fighting each other.) 3. When the king of the Qi Kingdom (Jucheng, the capital) was killed in Tiandi, the prince Tian Fazhang fled, changed his name and surname, and went to the former Ju State (Ju County, Shandong Province) National History Curator (Tai Shi) 敫 (sound jiao) house servants.Taishi's daughter found Tian Fazhang's extraordinary appearance and thought he was not an ordinary refugee, so she felt pity for him and often gave him clothes and food without permission. Over time, they fell in love. Wang Sunjia was one of Tiandi's attendants. After the tragedy (refer to last year) happened in Guli (south of Ju County, Shandong Province), he absconded and returned home. His mother said, "You go out in the morning and come back at night. I lean on the gate and look forward to it; I went out at night and didn’t come back in the morning, so I stood in the alley and waited. You serve the king, and the king suddenly disappears, and you don’t know where he is, so why do you come back?” (Of course Wang Sun Jia knew that the field was dead, but his mother said Missing, maybe Wangsun Jia lied to save his mother from despair,) So Wangsun Jia went to the street and shouted: "Naochi disturbed our country and killed our king. Anyone who is willing to get rid of him with me, please take off your clothes." The sleeves, showing the right arm." Immediately, more than 400 young and strong young people gathered.Wangsun Jia then launched a surprise attack and killed Nao Chi (this is confusing again, since Nao Chi led the Chu army to rescue them, there must be a large number of armed forces, how could Wang Sun Jia directly enter the command headquarters with four hundred mobs? Even if the commander was killed, The regular army is well-organized, and there is a deputy commander, so how can they not fight back? Judging from the cruelty of Naochi to the fields, we can know that he is just a reckless man, and he may be negligent. Fight back), looking for the prince everywhere, Tian Fazhang is probably a trap, so he dare not respond.Over time, he found out that Wang Sunjia was sincere, so he dared to reveal his identity.Everyone then asked him to inherit the throne (four terms), as King Xiang.According to defending Jucheng (Ju County, Shandong Province), confronted the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Yan, and announced to the whole country: "The new king has ascended the throne in Jucheng!" 4. Zhao He, the king of the Kingdom of Zhao (the second king of Huiwen), obtained the priceless treasure and jade (in the eighth century BC, Bian He, a jewelry expert in the Kingdom of Chu, found a stone in a deep mountain, and he knew that it contained jade, and presented it to the chief Mi Xiong昫, Mi Xiong 昫 thought he was a fraud, cut off his left foot, the first Wu Wang Mi Xiongtong ascended the throne, and then presented it, still thought he was a fraud, cut off his right foot again, and waited until the second Wen Wang Mi Xiongtong ascended the throne , Bian He held a stone in his arms and wept at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. Mi Xionglai sent someone to ask him, and he said: "I am not sad for my feet, but it is clearly jade, but it is regarded as a stone. It is hard to be regarded as treacherous and evil, and this is my sorrow." Mi Xiong Bijiao experts chiseled it open, and it turned out to be a piece of jade, because it was named "Heshibi").King Qin (the third king of Zhaoxiang) Ying Ji attempted to occupy it and demanded that fifteen cities be exchanged.Zhao He wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of the tyranny of the Qin Kingdom; he planned to exchange, but he was afraid of being deceived.Asking for Lin Xiangru's opinion, Lin Xiangru said: "The Kingdom of Qin exchanged fifteen cities. If the king does not allow it, it is our fault. We send He Shibi, and the Kingdom of Qin does not give us fifteen cities. It is their fault. Weigh the weight, I suggest: we should agree, and make the Qin Kingdom bear the consequences of injustice. I am willing to send it there, and if the Qin Kingdom refuses to cede fifteen cities, I promise to bring them back in full.” Zhao He then sent Lin Xiangru as an envoy to protect the jade.When Lin Xiangru arrived in the Kingdom of Qin, he found that Ying Ji had no intention of making this deal at all.Then Lin Xiangru deceived Ying Ji with deceit, took He's Bi back, sent his followers to hide it secretly on his body, and sneaked back to the Kingdom of Zhao by a remote path, but stayed by himself, waiting to be dealt with.Yingji thought he was a genius, so instead of killing him, he treated him courteously and let him return home. Zhao Hejia praised Lin Xiangru's contribution and appointed him as a senior state official (Shangdafu). 5. The monarch of the state of Wei (Puyang, the capital) (forty-fifth term) Wei Sijun (unknown name) passed away, and his son Wei Huaijun (unknown name) succeeded to the throne (forty-sixth term).Wei Sijun likes to spy on other people's privacy. There was a clean and honest county magistrate. When he was packing the mattress, he exposed the broken mat.The next day, Wei Sijun gave him a new seat, and the county magistrate was surprised, thinking that his monarch was really like a god.Wei Sijun also sent people to deliberately bribe the tax officials when passing through the checkpoint. He summoned the tax officials and taught him to return the bribes. The tax officials were frightened out of their wits.Wei Sijun dotes on his little wife Xie Ji and trusts his ministers like ears.In order to avoid being deceived, he deliberately respected his eldest wife, Concubine Wei, to balance with Xie Ji; and promoted another minister, Bo Yi, to an official position to make him confront Ruer.Wei Sijun explained: "I want them to restrain and monitor each other." Xun Kuang said: Wei Wei (the forty-third monarch of the Wei State, Chenghou) and Wei Sijun (the forty-fifth monarch) are just people who are petty and amass small fortunes, and they can't talk about winning the hearts of the people.Although Gongsunqiao (Zican), the minister of Zheng State (the capital of Xinzheng), can win the hearts of the people, he can't talk about governing the country.Although Guan Zhong can govern the country, he can't talk about establishing etiquette and righteousness.Only those who can establish etiquette and righteousness can become holy kings.Only those who can govern the country can become the overlord.Only those who can win the hearts of the people can gain security.Those who are petty and amass small fortunes have only one way to perish. Bo Yang said: Wei Sijun is just as smart as a cow's hair, and he is complacent about his little actions, thinking that they are the norms of governing the country, and he is just a local snake in Sanjia Village.However, in Xun Kuang's comments, he criticized Gongsun Qiao and Guan Zhong in a series, and mentioned his "sage king" again.China has a long history, and there are groups of heads of state. How many are there enough to be "holy kings"?In the eyes of the Confucian school, there are only Yi Qi Fangxun, Yao Chonghua, Si Wenming, Zi Tianyi, Ji Chang, and Ji Fa, and they are only a handful of them.The Holy King, like Yahweh, is an image that does not exist at all.But Christianity does not teach people to be Jehovah, while Confucianism blindly looks down on all those who are considered incapable of being "holy kings" and desperately teaches people to be holy kings that do not exist at all.As a result, after three thousand years, apart from the above-mentioned six living treasures, there are no other living treasures, and political ideas have become a bunch of empty words. 1. Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) attacked Zhao Kingdom (capital Handan) and occupied two cities. 1. Qin Kingdom (capital Xianyang) attacked Zhao Kingdom (capital Handan) and occupied Shicheng (southwest of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province). 2. The Kingdom of Qin appointed Wei Ran as Prime Minister (Prime Minister). 3.

That’s absolutely not the case. But still, please tell me why the Kingdom of Zhou cannot be conquered?” Eastern Zhou Duke Wu said: "Now the Kingdom of Zhou has only a small area, and its total area is only a hundred miles, but in name it is the Son of Heaven - the co-lord of the world. Annexing that small area does not increase the country's territory. The people on that little bit of land can't increase your military strength, but it sounds like a "regicide". In this case, there are still reasons for people to drool, and the purpose is only to think about the national treasure Jiuding there.

If the sika deer on the grassland were covered with tiger skins, there would be ten thousand times more people going crazy. The reason It's very simple. Splitting the territory of the Chu Kingdom can increase the territory. Frustrating the image of the Chu Kingdom can show respect for the emperor. You plan to eliminate the common masters of the world and monopolize the treasures handed down from three generations (Xia, Shang, and Zhou). I am afraid that foreign armies will Follow the treasure and head south quickly." The Kingdom of Chu stopped its action.
