Regarding Zhang Yi's character and "merits", the author has always held a negative attitude. Although it was the norm for the etiquette to collapse and the world to go down, the vague ancient style still controlled the world's view of right and wrong, but Zhang Yi, who was born out of nowhere, raised diplomatic fraud to the height of national strategy, and used pure routines to play with the six countries of the East to applaud, and at the same time initially built the trend of the Great Qin Empire swallowing the world, it also interpreted the sigh of "people's hearts are not ancient" to the extreme.
Speaking of which, the Qin people's "martial virtue" is really a little bit meaningless, oh, no, talking and deceiving is a lack of "Wende", correcting the old Qin who started as a vassal of raising horses in the west, and established the country after a hundred years of bloody war with the dogs, the cultural gene is congenitally missing, but there has always been its own definition of "martial virtue", even if it is the era when Zhang Yi is in full swing.
In 328 BC, Zhang Yi came to Qin with a proud tongue and became a glorious guest. This temporary errand did not last long, he first led people to take Puyang, and then returned it to Wei, and then ordered King Wei Hui to offer Shaoliang and Shangjun fifteen cities with "King Qin's encounter with Wei is very thick, Wei can not be rude".
One for sixteen is still an empty glove white wolf, is King Wei stupid? In fact, not really, Puyang is the bridgehead of the land east of the river, Shaoliang is the last stronghold of the Wei state in the west of the river, and Shangjun is in the northeast of the Hetao region.
King Wei Hui was the first victim
In any case, the Qin people got a large piece of land for nothing, and Zhang Yi deserved to worship Xiangbang, after all, Shang Ying did not have such a contribution to expand the territory.
A few years later, Zhang Yi actually served as the minister of Wei, but this was not a job hop, but the meaning of the king of Qin, and the two countries of Qin and Wei formed an alliance to attack Qi and Chu, forming a situation of succession.
Gongsun Yan, nicknamed "Rhino Head", was once the "Great Liangzao" of the Qin State
However, the world is always unpredictable, and in 318 BC, the four kingdoms of Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu strongly supported the expulsion of Zhang Yi by the King of Wei, and instead used Gongsun Yan as the prime minister and implemented the policy of "combining and longitudinating". This was obviously a standard diplomatic defeat, and the co-promoters Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen were both Zhang Yi's colleagues and famous advisers, and the two joined forces to try to complete revenge on Zhang Yi and even the Qin state.
In the following year, the five kingdoms promoted King Chu Huai as the commander and organized a coalition army to attack the Qin State. The Qin people, who were quite experienced in dealing with the siege, were not frightened by the momentum on the opposite side, they first took advantage of the negative attitude of Chu and Yan to successfully persuade them to retreat, and then used "a thousand horses embroidered by Wenxiu, a hundred good women" ("Warring States Policy: Qin Ce II") to stabilize the despicable and profitable Rong people, and the mighty coalition army was left with only the traditional Jin old team in a blink of an eye.
Compared with the invincible Three Jin Alliance in the era of Wei Wenhou, although it is a yellow flower at the moment, the comprehensive strength is still slightly above the Qin people, the reason why they do not retreat is not only the blood feud of many years of war, but also a collective effort by them to try to suppress the Qin people's forces in Hangu Pass, and the success or failure of hundreds of thousands of levels of offensive battles is enough to affect the future trend.
Thinking of this, the Qin people had nothing to hesitate about, and the Qin army led by Yu Liji forced back the coalition forces in front of Hangu Pass, and the two sides faced each other again at Xiuyu (now southwest of Yuanyang, Henan). It was a classical war with no fancy to speak of, and the Qin people completed a frontal crush and beheaded the Wei army.820,000, 130,000 Zhao army, chased to Guanze and defeated the Korean army again, beheading more than 360,000, captive Han General Yu Shencha.
The lost field diplomatically, the Qin people found it back on the battlefield, the subdued Sanjin collectively chose to cede the land and sue for peace, the threat due east was successfully lifted, and it was time to clean up the equally powerful Chu State.
Zhang Yi's experience of the state of Chu will not be repeated here, but here is the comparison of the strength of the two sides. Qin has Shang Ying, Chu has Wu Qi, although the depth of the law change is not the same, and the geographical pattern is distinct from each other, but after all, the Chu State is huge, and the comprehensive national strength is still faintly above the Qin people. As for King Huai's choice to form an alliance with the Qi people, it was more to avoid worries when cleaning up the Qin State, so it is not difficult to understand that he sent people to insult the King of Qi in order to discuss the land of six hundred miles - since there is no need to curry favor with both sides, it is all to take advantage of it anyway, and it is not bad to find the bad luck of the Qi State.
Zhang Yi's purpose of making Chu was also very clear, as a standard plan for the war, first give the Chu people a promise to make them stunned, and then provoke them to go on an expedition to fight a decisive battle on the mainland, and the result was naturally a fiasco. The results do not stop there, in fact, diplomatic fraud cannot weaken the state of Chu, but there is one more enemy of the enemy - the state of Qi, and this insignificant gain will soon determine the trend of the world.
However, the Qin court still underestimated the "tyrannical" strength of the Chu people, at this time coincided with the rebellion in Shu, the main force was taken away by Sima Cuo, and the king of Chu Huai took the opportunity to pour the country's troops to kill (313 BC), and hit Lantian only eighty miles away from Xianyang in one go.
This is the biggest crisis in the history of the Qin State, except for using the title to stimulate the old Qin people to pick up the hoe and survive, there seems to be no way to break the situation, but fortunately, the bloody nature of the Qin people temporarily blocked the progress of the Chu people, and won a precious respite.
As mentioned above, the Three Jin Dynasty was forced to be the younger brother of the Qin people for several years, and Hangu Guan did not dare to hope for it, but the hatred of the Chu State when he attacked Qin was still remembered, so they were very happy to aim at the chrysanthemums of the Chu people. And the reason why King Huai dared to come out of the nest was that he had re-concluded an alliance with King Qi Xuan, and the task of Qi was originally to snipe or contain the Three Jin Dynasty troops, but he obviously underestimated the importance of King Qi Xuan's city and face, how could Tian Biyi, who was so happy, easily let go of the opportunity for revenge?
Qi didn't actually do anything, just let the Han and Wei coalition forces (Zhao Guo was busy with Hufu cavalry shooting) go all the way to the west, and the Chu army that received the news retreated to Danyang, but ran head-on into the Three Kingdoms alliance army that had just met the division. The Chu army lost 80,000 in the battle of Danyang, and more than 70 generals were taken prisoner, and after breaking their muscles and bones, they were unable to compete with the Qin people for a short time.
Since then, the Hanzhong County of the Qin people has finally stabilized, and friends who are familiar with history know that the Bashu enclave is connected with Guanzhong, which is the "standard" that swept the world in later generations.
As for the fact that he took the risk again and returned to the Qianzhong Land of Chu State, it was all Zhang Yi's credit, after all, no one dared to pack a ticket by bribing pets and ministers to save his life. But he actually succeeded, and he also took a large cart of treasures, the author didn't dare to say how smart Zhang Yi was, but King Chu Huai was really stupid and naïve.
In exchange for Zhang Yi's favor, this was the biggest loss-making deal that King Chu Huai made before he was kidnapped by Qin, because King Qin Hui, who ran out of oil, would die that year, and the era of Zhang Yi was about to end. After leaving the state of Chu, he traveled all the way around the world, and was stuffed with a lot of money by polite monarchs, and also made a bunch of cities and promises of mutual non-aggression for the Qin people, creating conditions for the stable transfer of power in the Qin state.
However, the king of the world has won the name before and after his death, and Zhang Yi's life should have been complete but ushered in the final stain.
It is said that Yingdang, the king of Qin Wu, who advocates force, is very unaccustomed to people who are too general, but fortunately, he is unwilling to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but only Zhang Yi expelled him. Suddenly, the fiefdom and the dignity of Wu Xinjun have become a mirror, and Zhang Yi, who is accustomed to leading alone, feels very lost, but unfortunately Zhang Yi chose to devote himself to the Wei State and tried to launch the Qin State.
Zhang Yi was unwilling to be lonely, but unfortunately history played a big joke on him, and he died of illness the next year! Not to mention whether the victims of the year will accept the fool again, if he is no longer young, if he looks down on the gains and losses and quietly retires, there will inevitably be an additional legend in history that is no less than Sun Wuzi. It's a pity that Zhang Yi didn't have this kung fu to nourish his qi, but proved with his actions that he was not a peerless countryman, but just a high-level worker who took money to work, which happened to correspond to the harm caused by his diplomatic fraud to the simple style of ancient China.
Of course, King Qin is not a good bird, from Shang Yang Zhang Yi to Lü Buwei Lisi, the masters of the Six Kingdoms are like moths to the fire, but unfortunately no one can get a good death, glory and dignity have also become Nan Ke's dream, and the seemingly vacant position is just to decorate some façade for the white prostitute.
Zhang Yi is not a god, when he expanded the land of Bashu, he advocated attacking Korea, but fortunately, the wise King Qin Huiwen made a final decision, which took the country of Tianfu as the rear before Chu; Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen and others were also adversaries, but their kings were too inferior to give them unconditional trust and diplomatic discretion.
His success comes from just the right era, just like the title of the TV series "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire", the Qin people are strong but not hegemonic, and the general trend of the world is still unclear.
On the other hand, for the first time, diplomatic fraud came to power, and the six eastern countries that had just gotten rid of the shackles of etiquette and music were not adapted to this change for a while, and lacked sufficient experience in front of the embarrassed monarchs and ministers of the Qin State.
But we can also see that the great reputation of the Great Qin Ruishi and the invincible geography are the foundation of Zhang Yi's long-sleeved dance. King Wei Hui, who had the most eyes, also had the means to the sky back then, but he just played himself from a super-first-class to a second-rate, and he had no choice but to survive in mediation with the identity of "indulging relatives".
From Puyang, Xiuyu to Xianyang defense, the Qin people's war machine has never stopped, with the most primitive way and no fancy victory in the world of great contention to win land, wealth and awe, from filial piety to the Qin people have not forgotten the hardships of competing with the Rong people for survival resources, their "martial virtue" may only be eight words - fight to the end, to the death.
