Why didn't the minister of Chu exchange land for King Chu Huai? In addition to laughing and talking, the king's destiny is better than the land
The alliance of Qin and Chu, King Huai was deceived, Wuguan was offended, and future generations should take it as a warning.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many princes on the map of China, like a small one"world"The complex relationship between the princes also determines the direction of the current situation, with large countries annexing small countries, and small countries uniting against large countries, thus forming a great history of constant conflict.
In the troubled times of the princes' disputes, the Zhou Dynasty's"Customs"It has long since collapsed, as it is called"abandon righteousness and reinforce treachery"。
In order to maintain their position in the midst of war, the rulers of the vassal states began to resort to all kinds of extremes, and their methods became cunning, which for a long time seemed normal at the time.
This is not the case with all rulers. This is not the case with Song Xianggong and King Chu Huai, they don't"Benevolence and righteousness"It is impossible to adapt to the spring and autumn seasons.
Song Xianggong's most famous battle was"The Battle of Righteousness"。He could have taken advantage of the weakness of the Chu army to defeat the Chu army, but he waited until the Chu army crossed the river before launching an attack. As a result, the Chu army was defeated, and he himself died on the battlefield in the second year, and the hegemony of the Song State was not completed.
However, the focus of this article is not on Song Xianggong, but on King Chu Huai.
For King Chu Huai, many people will think that this person is too stupid and naïve, because his whole life seems to be with"Medium count"It is inseparable, so why does King Chu Huai continue to plan in the middle of Qin? Why did King Chu Huai continue to plan in the Qin Dynasty? In the face of the trustworthy power of love, it is not worth mentioning.
King Chu Huai was King Qin Zhaoxiang"Abduction"Why didn't the ministers of Chu exchange land for King Huai of Chu? Sling the bull. The life of a king is not as precious as the land.
In this article, I will tell you how the king of Chu got out of the abyss and how he fell back into the abyss.
King Chu Huai was very warlike in his early years.
The innocence we see in King Chu Huai is inseparable from Zhang Yi, but before Zhang Yi went to the state of Chu, King Chu Huai was also a Jin Ge iron horse, and it can be said that King Chu Huai was also a qualified king in his early years.
King Chu Huai destroyed the incomparable Yue Kingdom. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an interesting history between Wu and Yue, and King Goujian of Yue is still fresh in people's memories, but in the generation of King Wujiang of Yue, the Kingdom of Yue also perished because of its arrogance that angered King Chu Huai, and when King Yue Wujiang attacked Chu State, he was destroyed by King Chu Huai of **Chu State.
Since then, the state of Chu occupies a large area south of the Yangtze River, becoming a veritable overlord of the south of the Yangtze River, after Gongsun Yan left, King Huai of Chu proclaimed himself the leader of the alliance, holding high the banner of the five countries to resist Qin, and the princes of the world all spoke of the state of Chu.
In addition, King Huai of Chu also defeated Wei and captured eight cities of Wei. In view of these developments, it was very unlikely that the state of Chu would attack northward, but from the moment Zhang Yi entered Chu, the hegemony of the state of Chu changed, and the hegemony of the state of Chu became a dream.
Six hundred miles of land became six miles.
King Chu Huai raised"Merge"The banner attacked Qin, and the Qin State panicked. Although King Chu Huai was destroyed after the Battle of Luli"Merge"Alliance, but the Shandong princes already knew how to unite against the powerful Qin state.
It was impossible for the Qin State to be indifferent to unification, so Zhang Yi was born out of thin air and carried the banner of the Qin State, so the situation in the Warring States Period appeared in the Zongheng family, and Zhang Yi was undoubtedly the most outstanding one in the Zongheng family.
Zhang Yi's Lianheng had to change the Shandong vassal states from a united anti-Qin to a pro-Qin Lianheng, and for this he went to the Chu State, of course, with him the six hundred li of land he had verbally promised.
When King Chu Huai heard this, he could get six hundred li of land without fighting for anything, which is a good thing, but Qin had one condition, that is, let Chu give up the alliance with Qi State, King Chu Huai didn't think about it, and immediately thought that Six hundred li land and Qi State tore their faces to form an alliance, but Chu State didn't expect Chu State and Qi State to tear their faces, and the six hundred li land promised by Zhang Yi became six miles.
Love is worthless in the face of power.
Zhang Yi deceived him, and King Chu Huai gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless. He claimed that he led the army to attack Qin, just to ask for Zhang Yi's life, but then Zhang Yi went to Chu by himself, and the result was not a big problem, because Zhang Yi had already dealt with Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of King Chu Huai, and there was no need to delay this matter for the time being.
After Zhang Yi's intimidation of Chu subsided, relations between Qin and Chu tended to ease, which was also influenced by the fact that the eighth son of Chu became the empress dowager of Qin, and King Qin Zhaoxiang made him his uncle according to the title of King Huai of Chu.
No, King Qin Zhaoxiang held a banquet in Wuguan, saying that he would drink and have fun with his uncle, and then make an alliance between Qin and Chu. King Chu Huai was very happy and, despite the opposition of his ministers, accepted his nephew's invitation.
As a result, he never came back, King Qin Zhaoxiang directly said to his uncle that he was going to cut the land to Chu State, I have to let you come back, King Chu Huai treated his uncle and shouted: I am your uncle, King Qin Zhaoxiang came back immediately: Uncle can't do it and change the land, King Chu Huai was stunned and did not give the result, so the negotiations reached an impasse, and finally King Chu Huai was permanently placed under house arrest by Qin State.
When the news of King Chu Huai's house arrest reached the state of Chu, the ministers immediately split into two factions. One faction thought that land should be exchanged for King Chu Huai, and the other faction believed that King Chu Huai could be reinstated, but could not give him land, so the other faction prevailed and supported King Chu Huai's son Xiong Heng as king, known as King Chu Qingxiang in history.
So how did King Chu Huai die in the Qin State, in fact, it is not easy to say, he was imprisoned and died in Xianyang, of course, in the middle"Jailbreak"After the death of King Huai of Chu, the body was sent back to the State of Chu, and the whole country mourned, "Historical Records - Chu Shijia" recorded: King Huai of Chu died in the State of Qin, and the State of Qin returned to Chu for burial, and the people of Chu sympathized with him as if he had lost his mother, and the people of Chu mourned his mother as if he had lost his mother. The people of Chu are mourning like mourning, and the people of Chu are mourning like mourning.
By the way, you may ask, why didn't the ministers of the Chu State exchange this land with the King of Chu Huai? All I can say is don't laugh, the life of their king is not as valuable as land. After all, after all, for so many years in the Warring States, if it wasn't for land and population, how could it be easy to transfer one's land to others?
To everyone's surprise, King Chu Qingxiang was also a prince with no ambitions. Although most of the territory of Chu was not left to Qin, it was captured by Qin and finally destroyed by Qin. If King Chu Qingxiang knew that his descendants in the underworld were so unenterprising, I don't know how he would feel.
Refer to the historical records and strategies of the belligerents.
