A large number of outstanding politicians and military strategists emerged in ancient Chinese history, and many strange schemes that changed the direction of history were derived, among which the most famous five yang schemes, the last one was unexpected.
Intrigue and conspiracy are both a means for ancient politicians and military strategists to achieve political or military goals, so what is the difference between them? Who is better?
To put it simply, Yangmou is to dig a trap for you openly, and tell you bluntly that this is my trap, and you also know that it is a pit, but you have to jump into it, which is its power, so you can often only abandon the car to protect the handsome.
And the conspiracy is to give you the means behind the scenes, not on the bright side, and give you a fatal blow without the other party knowing, but if the conspiracy is discovered by the other party, it is likely that the other party will be anti-guest and the previous efforts will be lost. From this point of view, it is still better than Yangmou.
1. Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
For readers who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, they all know that the representative of the classic conspiracy of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is Cao Cao, but what you may not know is that this ancient conspiracy was first proposed by his strategist Mao Jue, and the original words were: "The Son of Heaven is not subordinate to the order."
In the second year of Xingping, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fled to the eastern capital of Luoyang with the support of the ministers, when there were two people and horses who could be escorted by King Qin, and the strategists under Yuan Shao in Jizhou had advised Yuan Shao that "the Son of Heaven is used to order the princes, and the cattle and horses are not courteous", it is a pity that Yuan Shao did not adopt, so Cao Cao, who is good at seizing the opportunity, obtained the opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Then he wanted to coerce Emperor Xian to move the capital to Xuchang, followed by the rise of the status, in the name of the imperial court and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he was ordered to negotiate everywhere, and then unified the north, so there will be Cao Cao to name the Han Xiang, which is really a Han thief.
Second, Wei Wei rescued Zhao.
As the second plan of Sun Tzu's 36 strategies in the Art of War, is it really the strongest conspiracy in history to encircle Wei and save Zhao? Is it really invulnerable?
In 354 BC, Zhao soldiers pointed directly at Weiguo, captured Weiguo and asked Weiguo to surrender to Zhao, and Weiguo was a vassal state of Wei at that time, Zhao's move must have infringed on the interests of Wei, King Wei Hui sent Pang Juan as a general to lead the army to attack Zhao, in 353 BC the army came to Handan, the capital of Zhao, Zhao and Qi befriended, so Zhao Chenghou asked for help from King Qi Wei, King Qi sent Tian Ji as a general, Sun Bin as a military advisor, led the army to aid Zhao, Sun Bin offered a plan to take advantage of the main forces of Wei in Handan, Zhao State, You can take the opportunity to besiege the capital of Wei, forcing Pang Juan to return to the army to save Wei, Tian Ji adopted a strategy, and set up an ambush in the middle, Pang Juan fell into this plan, defeated, and Zhao broke the siege.
Is Wei Wei's rescue of Zhao really impeccable? Is there any way Pang Juan can solve this strategy? In fact, this is the power of encircling Wei to save Zhao, if Pang Juan does not return to aid Wei, let King Wei Hui defend the beam, wait for Handan City to break, and attack the Qi army on both sides, there is a high probability that he can win, but Pang Juan disobeys his orders and does not return, supports the army and respects himself, regardless of the life or death of King Wei Hui, in that case, Pang Juan's life will come to an end, so this eternal Yang plot only gives Pang Juan two ways, one is to return to aid Wei, lose the army, and the second is to disobey the order and go to prison, so Pang Juan has no other choice.
3. The first anti-intermittent plan through the ages - the golden knife plan.
The reason why the Golden Knife Meter is ranked third is entirely because it comes from the hands of the famous face of "Gong Gai Zhuge Liang"!
The former Yan general Murong Trai was accepted by the Queen Mother and the minister**, so he fled to Qianqin, and the former Qin King Fu Jian heard that Murong Trai came to take refuge in him, and he had always admired Murong Trai, and the courtesy was very generous.
But the arrival of Murong Trai touched the nerves of Wang Meng, the prime minister of the former Qin, Wang Meng was a very politically minded and capable cadre of governance, and felt that Murong Trai would pose a threat to the former Qin sooner or later, so he repeatedly advised Fu Jian to kill Murong Trai, but Fu Jian said that talents were rare, so he rejected Wang Meng's suggestion, which led to the first anti-plot in the ages - the Golden Knife Scheme, which also directly changed the trend of history.
In 370 A.D., Wang Meng led the army to march to Qianyan, on the eve of departure, Wang Meng went to Murong Chui's house as a guest, after three rounds of wine, and five flavors of food, Wang Meng took "now when I am far away, why give it to me," as the reason, Murong Chui was unprepared, so he had to take out the ancestral golden knife pinned to his waist and give it to Wang Meng, but he didn't know that this small act actually sent himself to the road of guillotine.
After the army set out, Wang Meng used a lot of money to buy off Murong Chui's henchman Jin Xi, and asked him to take the golden knife to Murong Ling, the eldest son of Murong Chui, who accompanied the army, saying that Wang Meng wanted to harm your father and son, and was planning, and King Yan (former Yan) has forgiven your father, he has fled to Yan Kingdom, you hurry up and take the golden knife to find him, without further ado.
In this way, Murong Ling fled back to Yan Kingdom with the golden knife, and Murong Chui thought that his son had defected, so he was naturally worried that Fu Jian would kill him, so he also ran away.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and he was arrested just two streets away, Fu Jian did not execute him, but comforted him: "Your son's affairs have nothing to do with you, so you can stay in peace."
Here I have to admire Fu Jian's broad-mindedness, and if he was replaced by another emperor, he might directly execute Murong Chui.
Seeing this, some people may say that the golden knife plan did not succeed either, and it did not achieve Wang Meng's goal of killing Murong Chui, don't worry, the matter is far from over.
After Murong Ling was fooled back to Qianyan, he was exiled, so he was very unwilling, so he contacted the bigwigs of all parties in an attempt to rebel.
But the funny thing is that this conspiracy was actually betrayed by his younger brother, and after the matter was revealed, Murong Ling was executed on the same day.
Wang Meng later died early due to illness, and Murong Chui relied on his own strength to revive the Yan Kingdom and establish Hou Yan.
The person concerned did not die, but the butterfly effect caused by the golden knife plan unfolded.
Due to the death of the eldest son Murong Ling, Murong Chui has no successor, and the son-in-law only has a mediocre and incompetent Murong Bao, who is incompetent in governing the country after ascending the throne, and within a few years, the inner part of Houyan fell apart and gradually died out, this may be the first anti-intermittent plan in the ages - the power of the Golden Knife Scheme!
Fourth, two peaches harm three soldiers.
There are three warriors in the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi, namely Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi, it is said that the three of them are extremely brave, able to fight with fierce beasts naked, and are brave and good at fighting, so they don't put Qi Jinggong in their eyes, Yan Zi saw this situation and advised him to plan early, so as not to cause trouble, and it was recommended to get rid of the three of them as soon as possible.
Yan Zi came up with a plan to persuade Qi Jing to invite three warriors to a banquet, and during the banquet, he used the fairy peach as bait to divide the last two fairy peaches among the three of them, and proposed that whoever has the most credit can get the fairy peach.
Gongsun and Tian Kaijiang respectively reported their achievements, and stepped forward to take away two peaches, Gu Yezi on the side of the anger value immediately full, while taking out the sword in his waist, while reporting his own merits, Gongsun and Tian Kaijiang were ashamed after hearing it, very ashamed, so he drew his sword and killed himself.
Gu Yezi, who calmed down, saw that he had forced the two of them to death because of two peaches, and he also blamed himself very much, so he killed himself on the spot.
In this way, two peaches successfully solved the threat of three people, which is called two peaches killing three soldiers.
But I've always had a doubt, this kind of thing, if you run into a thick-skinned villain, will it be invalid?
What do you think?
Fifth, the pinnacle of Yangmou - Tui En Ling.
Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, a bunch of princes with different surnames were sealed, and later abolished successively and replaced by princes and kings surnamed Liu. During the Wenjing period, the princes surnamed Liu grew stronger and stronger, and became a heart disease of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao's suggestion and implemented the "Cutting Order", which directly led to the outbreak of the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", but fortunately, the general Zhou Yafu turned the tide and maintained the rule of the Han Dynasty.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che succeeded to the throne, in order to completely solve the potential threat of the princes and kings, he adopted the suggestion of the lord father Yan, and the "Tui En Order" officially appeared on the historical stage of the Han Dynasty.
To put it simply: the succession to the throne of princes and kings has changed from the original primogeniture system to the inheritance of all sons.
To put it simply, in the past, only sons-in-law could inherit the family property, but now the grandchildren have a share.
This is a groundbreaking achievement, and the princes and grandsons are naturally very happy, although the reigning princes and kings know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has bad intentions and has the lessons of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, they do not dare to disobey.
Besides, he can't control the matter of dividing the family property after death.
Due to the large number of princes and princes, the promulgation of the Tui'en Decree fragmented the land of the princes and kings, dispersed the national strength of the princes, and made them unable to compete with the imperial court.
The reason why the Tui En Decree can be regarded as the first Yang Mou in the ages is that it is under the guise of "the emperor's grace is vast", if the son-in-law refuses to carry it out, first, he will violate the emperor's edict, and secondly, other sons will also oppose the son-in-law.
There is no need for the imperial court to do anything, and there will be an accident within the vassal states.
And if it is carried out, the land of the vassal states will become smaller and smaller, just like boiling a frog in warm water, and in the end, no matter what, it is the imperial court that will win.
Withdraw. Tui En Ling is a successful example of the reduction of feudal domains in ancient Chinese history, and it is currently recognized as the first yang conspiracy of the ages, but I personally have a slightly different opinion.
The premise of the success of this kind of yang conspiracy must be the strength of the centralized power, and the court has the final say, otherwise, for example, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty ** court has no enough strength to implement this policy, and the generals can completely ignore it, so if you engage in the Tui En order at this time, it will naturally be a trick.
