History exists for the present, and we can draw nourishment from history to develop better, or gain more knowledge. But people who read history will always think about problems from their own points of view and preferences, especially in the later creation of history, they will always pursue art excessively, and there will always be a certain degree of distortion of the real history, which is actually not important, the important thing is that we can know what the real history is like.
The history of the Warring States period is the same, especially the gradual strengthening of the Qin State to the final unification, which shakes our fragile hearts all the time, the strength of the Qin State is inseparable from the efforts of several generations of rulers of the Qin State, and of course, it is inseparable from the contribution of the Shang Dynasty reform, is it that the Shang Dynasty completely recovered the territory west of the Yangtze River of the Qin State? As we all know, Su Qin is the main organizer of the United Pillar State and the main defender of the Six Kingdoms. In fact, it was not Shang Yang who recovered the territory west of the Qin River, and it was not Su Qin who first guarded Liangzhou, but Gongsun Yan.
After Shang Ying's death, Gongsun Yan took on important responsibilities.
After the Battle of Guilin and the Battle of Maling, Wei's national and military strength declined significantly. At this time, Shang Ying suggested to the Duke of Qin to attack the land west of the river occupied by Wu Qi. With the support of the Duke of Qin, Shang Yan personally led his army to attack the land west of the river and captured Wei Mao, the general of Wei. At the same time, the Shang Dynasty recovered only a few towns in Hexi, but not all of them.
After the death of Qin Xiaogong, King Yingyi of Qin ascended the throne and killed Shang Ying. After Shang Ying's death, King Huiwen of Qin reappointed Gongsun Yan of Wei as the rhinoceros of Wei, and Gongsun Yan was also known as the rhinoceros of Wei. Soon after Shang Ying's death, in the fifth year of King Huiwen of Qin, Gongsun Yan took over as the Great Liangzao of Qin. After Gongsun Yan took office, he continued to implement the Shang Dynasty Reform Law and contributed to the strength of the Qin State.
Gongsun Yan actively attacked Wei and recovered Hexi.
When Shang Yang recovered several cities in Hexi, Wei realized that Qin was his worst enemy, so he made peace with Qi and Zhao and actively planned a great war with Qin. Shang Ying then proposed to return several cities in Hexi to Wei, and Qin Xiaogong followed Shang Ying's advice and returned the land in Hexi to Wei, which meant that the land in Hexi was back in Wei's hands. After Shang Ying's death, Gongsun Yan gradually became famous in the Qin state.
Nine years later, in 332 BC. King Huiwen of Qin had firmly established the state of Qin, so he appointed Gongsun Yan as the great Liangzao and led the Qin army to attack the land west of Hexi, which belonged to the Wei state at that time, and the Wei state already had a strong defense capability against the Qin army, and sent the veteran general Long He, who was known for his fortitude, to guard the land west of the river to deal with the sneak attack of the Qin army. However, Gongsun Yan was ordered to suddenly step forward and lead the Qin army to attack the land west of the river. After two years of fierce fighting, the Wei army was defeated, with about 80,000 dead and wounded, and the general Long Yan was captured. The following year, the king of Wei was forced to return all the land west of the river to the state of Qin, and since then Gongsun Yan has completely recovered the land west of the river.
Wei defeated Gongsun Yan and became the first person to defend the Lianzhu State.
King Wei Hui left Hexi and sent someone to bribe Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan couldn't resist the charm of Gongsun Yan, and suggested that King Qin Hui give up attacking Wei, so that he could make peace with Wei and attack other countries and expand his territory, but at this time, Zhang Yi came to Qin and told King Qin Hui that Wei is now full of holes Gongsun Yan only cares about his own selfish interests and forgets the righteousness of Wei, Wei has already dominated Wei and has become the overlord, and this time is the best time to attack Wei! King Qin Huiwen woke up like a dream and began to use Zhang Yi again. The Qin State rejected Gongsun Yan, so he could only defeat the Wei State.
Gongsun Yan came to the devastated Wei State and was named a general by King Hui of Wei. Wei was in trouble with internal and external relations, and Gongsun Yan proposed to King Wei Hui to unite the Three Jins, and King Wei Hui agreed. Gongsun Yan went to Qi again and persuaded the king of Qi to send troops to attack Zhao, and the combined forces of Qi and Wei really defeated Zhao, and Gongsun Yan decided to unite the three provinces of Wei, Wei and Chu to attack Qin for the first time. At the same time, King Qin Huiwen also saw the strength of the joint column, so he sent Zhang Yi to disperse the joint column, and Zhang Yi launched a series of horizontal against Gongsun Yan's joint column, which shows that Zhang Yi's opponent was always Gongsun Yan rather than Su Qin.
Gongsun Yan was a phase twice, but he couldn't return to heaven.
Gongsun Yan's plan should be solved by Zhang Yi, Wei also advocated the combination, dismissed Prime Minister Hui Shi, and appointed Zhang Yi as the post Cheng, Zhang Yi was nominally to serve the Wei State, in fact, it was just to make the Qin State more smooth, the real Zhang Yi was the post of the Wei State, the Wei State that went first and paved the way for the Qin State to attack the Qi State, knowing that the Qin army was defeated, the heart of the Six Kingdoms, and the heart of Shandong, thinking that the Hezong Lianheng was attracted by the Qi State to win over the King of Wei, and at the same time Zhang Yi was expelled from the Wei State, and Gongsun Yan was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Wei State. After Gongsun Yan came to power, he organized a coalition of six countries to attack Qin, but he was defeated, and Gongsun Yan was also expelled from Wei by the king of Wei.
After Gongsun Yan left Wei, he went to Korea and was appointed prime minister by the king of Korea. Gongsun Yan's heart to unify the six countries did not die, and he did not forget to plan the six countries again during the reign of Korea. King Qin Huiwen was worried that the six countries would attack Qin after the union, so he sent troops to attack Korea, but in the end, the other five countries did not send troops to rescue Korea, and the Han ** team was defeated, and the two armies held each other for more than a year! Later, Gongsun Yan gradually disappeared from history.
It was not Shang Yang who reclaimed the land west of the Qin River, and it was not Su Qin who was the one who was vertical and horizontal! Gongsun Yan is a person with a very strategic vision, so that the Qin State has been underestimated repeatedly, but the vertical and horizontal combination basically ended in failure, Gongsun Yan can't say that this person is not good, he can only say that the Six Kingdoms are centrifugal and detached, after all, there is no unified thought, if Gongsun Yan is not a lover of money, he was used by the Qin State, then history may need to be rewritten, at least more people will know Gongsun Yan's name, but history cannot be assumed.
