It is said that after King Yan absurdly ceded the throne to the prime minister, it caused turmoil in the country. The kingdoms of Qi and Zhongshan took the opportunity to invade the kingdom of Yan and occupy the capital of the kingdom of Yan. Zhao was afraid that Zhongshan would become bigger, so he immediately escorted King Yan Zhao, who was a hostage in Korea, to return to China to succeed to the throne. The kingdom of Yan was restored.
After King Yan Zhao succeeded to the throne, he was determined to take revenge on the Qi State. But the strength of Yan Guo is too far from Qi State, and he can't beat it. So King Yan Zhao was determined to change the law and become stronger, and widely distributed the recruitment list. But after a few years, I still haven't found the ideal talent. King Yan Zhao was very depressed and asked the doctor Guo Kui for the reason.
Guo Kui told a story to King Yan Zhao, saying that once upon a time, there was a person who wanted to find Maxima, so he issued a willingness to buy Maxima in the market, but after several months, no one sold Maxima to him. But then there was a man who brought a pair of horse bones and said that it was a horse bone of a thousand miles of horses, and wanted to sell it to him, this person was very angry, but the horse seller said that if you are willing to give ** for a pair of horse bones, it means that you really like horses, and your willingness to buy horses is true, which proves to the world that your willingness to buy a horse is real, and the daughter is also very willing to give. So he spent a lot of money to buy horse bones, and after the news spread, in less than a year, he bought three thousand-mile horses.
Guo Kui meant to let King Yan Zhao take action to recruit talents, not just a slogan. After hearing this, King Yan Zhao immediately worshipped Guo Kui as a teacher, and built a mansion for Guo Kui, which greatly improved Yan Guo's standard of treatment of talents. A ** platform was also built for the use of the Magi who had been recruited.
At this time, Le Yi, who was unwilling in the Wei State, heard about this and made up his mind to go to the Yan Kingdom. After arriving in Yan Kingdom, King Yan Zhao treated Le Yi with kindness, and Le Yi was very moved. So he decided to serve King Yan Zhao. King Yan Zhao's ** platform has attracted countless talents for Yan Kingdom, such as the soldier Le Yi, the vertical and horizontal family Su Qin and so on. For a time, Yan Guo was unprecedentedly powerful. So, King Yan Zhao began to prepare for the war.
At this time, the king of Qi was arrogant and arrogant at home and abroad, which caused the people in the country to complain, and the vassal states also hated the Qi country very much. So, taking advantage of the decline of the Qi State, Le Yi led the armies of the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Han, and Wei to march towards the Qi State and began to attack Qi. The coalition army, under the leadership of Le Yi, was like a bamboo, and soon took Linzi, the capital of Qi, and the king of Qi fled in a hurry. The State of Qi was defeated, and the State of Yan also avenged the revenge of the year. Le Yi took advantage of the victory to pursue and quickly took more than 70 cities in the Qi Kingdom. There were only two cities left in the Qi country, Ju and Jimo, and the king of Qi was killed by the angry countrymen in Jucheng.
In Jimo City, there is a man named Tian Dan, who led his family to advance and retreat in the process of escaping, and showed extraordinary leadership along the way, and everyone was very convinced, so they jointly recommended him to lead the defense of Jimo. Jimo held on to three years under the leadership of Tian Dan, and in these three years, Le Yi did not attack desperately, surrounded Jimo without fighting, and widely implemented benevolent government in other parts of Qi State, gently shaking and reducing the endowment, in an attempt to completely harvest the hearts of the people of Qi State. Tiandan used the feelings of his homeland to firmly tie the hearts of the people who were about to fall apart.
Just when Jimo City couldn't hold on. The turning point of the matter came, King Yan Zhao suddenly fell ill and died, and King Yan Hui, who succeeded to the throne, had a bad relationship with Le Yi, and did not trust Le Yi very much, so Tian Dan seized the opportunity and quickly sent people to Yan Kingdom to separate their monarchs and ministers. King Yan Hui was really fooled and sent a horse robber to replace Le Yi, but Le Yi did not dare to return to Yan Kingdom, so he fled to Zhao Kingdom. After the robbery arrived, he changed the strategy of Le Yi to surround but not fight, and won the hearts and minds of the people, and expropriated the people of Qidi and dug up the ancestral graves of the Jimo people, which aroused a wave of resistance from the people of Qidi.
Tian Dan saw that the time was ripe, and used the fire ox array to defeat the cavalry, and the other cities of Qi resisted, Tian Dan quickly recovered more than 70 cities occupied by the Yan army, and went to Jucheng to welcome the king of Qi Xiang back to Linzi. The state of Qi was successfully restored.
