In 306 B.C., King Wujiang of Yue followed the example of other countries to conquer the Central Plains and attack Qi in the north. When King Xuan of Qi learned the news, he sent envoys to induce Yue to invade Chu. The king of Yue listened to the lie and turned to attack the state of Chu. The main force of Chu went to war, defeated the Yue army, eliminated the Yue state, occupied the land of Wu Yue, and promoted the strength to reach its peak. Why did the Qi State destroy the Song Dynasty and cause the Five Kingdoms to invade Qi, but the Chu State destroyed the Yue State but nothing happened?
1. The roots of the Five Kingdoms.
The Battle of the Five Kingdoms refers to the Battle of Jixi, which took place in 284 BC and was attacked by the combined forces of Yan, Qin, Zhao, Han, and Wei. King Qi was proud of himself, but he did not expect the Yan coalition army to attack and was defeated in the west of Jishui. The fuse was the destruction of the Song State by the Qi State, which caused the Seven Heroes of the Warring States to shake. Han, Wei, and Zhao joined the coalition forces, forming a situation in which the five kingdoms were defeated.
Second, the Qi State destroyed the Song Dynasty: like a tiger with wings.
The Song Kingdom is located in the Central Plains, with convenient transportation and prosperous commerce. The State of Qi annexed the State of Song, and its vitality increased greatly. The State of Qi has the advantages of mountains, seas, fish and salt, coupled with the commercial cities in the Song region, the economic strength of the State of Qi is ahead of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Before the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, it was possible for Qi to dominate the world.
3. Chu's ingenious strategy to eliminate the Yue State.
After the state of Chu eliminated the state of Yue, it did not cause the five kingdoms to attack Chu. This is related to the geographical location of the Yue and Song Kingdoms. The Central Plains of the Song Kingdom is densely populated, economically developed, and strategically located. The annexation of the Song state by the state of Qi put pressure on Han, Wei, and Zhao, forming a pattern of five kingdoms attacking Qi. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the strategic value of the Yue State is relatively low, and the impact after its elimination is limited.
Fourth, the strategic position of the Song State.
The territory of the Song Kingdom included present-day Henan and Shandong, and was the Central Plains. The Song Kingdom had convenient transportation and prosperous commerce, and became a battleground for soldiers. The annexation of the Song State by the Qi State consolidated its economic strength and created favorable conditions for the unification of the world.
5. The geographical factors of the Yue and Chu kingdoms.
The Yue State annexed the Wu State, and its territory included Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The geographical location is relatively remote, and the economic development is not as good as that of the Central Plains. The state of Chu eliminated the state of Yue, and its impact on the surrounding areas was limited. The geographical location of the Yue and Song states was different, which led to the difference in the attitude of the five-nation coalition towards the Qi country.
Sixth, the external environment in which the state of Chu is better than the state of Yue.
When the state of Chu eliminated the state of Yue, it was just as the state of Qin and the state of Qi were vying for hegemony in the Central Plains, and the external environment was favorable. In contrast, when the five countries invaded Qi, Qi had a significant lead in economic strength and became a threat to the other six countries, triggering a joint attack.
