Through the reform of the above four aspects, the national strength of Wei State has flourished, and a large number of scholars from the world have come to serve in Wei State. At this time, the political power of Wei had been transferred from the aristocratic class to the hands of the scholar class, and the transformation from political aristocracy to political bureaucracy was almost completed. Wei Wenhou's authorization of Li Kui's reform was groundbreaking in Chinese history, and he was able to succeed because he was able to do it alone. After Wei Wenhou and Li Kui, there were a number of outstanding scholars such as Zhai Huang, Wu Qi, Ximen Leopard, and Le Yang.

Second, we should take the initiative to change the unfavorable geopolitical environment. After the division of the three families, the land divided by Wei was the most dangerous. Wei is located in the Central Plains traffic artery, in addition to the four powerful countries of Qin, Qi, Chu, Han and Zhao, it is also bordered by Zhongshan, Zheng and Wei. In order to enrich the country and strengthen the army in such an unfavorable geographical location, Wei must change this unfavorable military territory. So Wei Wenhou first annexed Zhongshan to the north, and to the west from Qin to seize the land of the West River west of the Yellow River to Luoshui. In addition, it also exchanged land with Han and Zhao, so that the originally scattered lands could be unified.

Third, we should attach importance to alliances. From Marquis Wen of Wei to King Hui of Wei, the strength of Wei was inseparable from the alliance of Han, Zhao and Wei. Han, Zhao and Wei have a comparable land area and are located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so they all need to face the external threat of the three feudal powers of Qin, Qi and Chu. Although the three countries were determined to forge ahead, due to their small territory and small population, it was difficult to compete with the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu alone. The three kingdoms relied on each other and worked together to fight against the three traditional powers of Qin, Chu, and Qi. Under the leadership of Wei, the Triple Alliance seized large tracts of land from the states of Qi and Chu. However, later on, the power of the three countries continued to grow, and each of them plotted and no longer attached importance to the Triple Alliance. By the time of King Hui of Wei, Wei even hoped to eliminate Han and Zhao, and the Triple Alliance was completely divided. Finally, in the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, Wei was defeated by Qi and lost its hegemony.

In general, the rise of Wei is inseparable from the right time, place and people, the so-called time, refers to the Warring States at this point in time is at the turning point of China from the feudal system to the county system, as long as you grasp the opportunity, you can achieve corner overtaking, as long as you stand on the right outlet, it is difficult for Wei to think of the sky. The so-called geographical advantage is the unique geographical environment of Wei. Although Wei is surrounded by powerful enemies, Wei also has two staunch allies, and as long as the alliance of the three countries does not disperse, other countries are helpless. The so-called harmony refers to the unique political environment in the Wei state. Due to the special process of the establishment of the Wei State, Wei Wenhou has been curbing the development of domestic aristocratic power in order to prevent his doctors from carving up his own land in the same way. In addition, Wei was an emerging country, so the aristocratic power in the country was not enough to restrict Li Kui's reforms. In stark contrast to this, Wu Qi's change in Chu State, due to the crazy counterattack of the aristocratic forces of Chu State, Wu Qi died, and the change was terminated.

However, due to Wei's small land area and special geographical location, although Wei was able to strike first, it lacked stamina after all. Without a vast territory and a large population, it is impossible to calmly face the surrounding strong enemies, and it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so it is necessary to maintain the Triple Alliance. In this situation, the development tolerance rate of Wei is extremely low, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything. So immediately after Han Zhao, he was annexed by the Qin State.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, the nemesis of the Great Qin Empire, overthrew Bai Qi and Fan Ju as soon as he made a move, and expanded the land for the Three Jin Dynasty!

The time dates back to 257 BC, when Qin besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao, and Zhao asked for help from Wei, but the king of Wei was afraid of Qin and did not dare to send troops to rescue Zhao. In a hurry, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji listened to Hou Ying's plan, borrowed the hand of Wei Wang's concubine Ruji to steal the talisman, killed the Wei general Jin Contempt, and captured the military power of 100,000 troops, but this is still not enough, even if Zhao and Chu are added, the total strength of the allied army is only 300,000, and the 400,000 Qin tiger and wolf army under Handan City cannot be compared at all, so Xinling Jun decided to decisively disarm in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

No, the number of troops is already insufficient, and it will be reduced again, which art of war is this?

This is Xinlingjun's own method of governing the army, the soldiers are fine but not more, if the reduction of troops can enhance the courage of the soldiers, cohesion of the team's military heart, then why not?

Xin Lingjun announced: "Father and son are in the army, and father is back; Brothers are in the army, brothers are back; An only son has no brothers, and he is adopted. ”

As soon as this order came out, Xinlingjun immediately won the support of the soldiers, and they all expressed their willingness to fight to the death for the prince and kill Jin Contempt, so naturally no one mentioned it again.

In today's world, "no only child of a family should be allowed to die in war" is an unwritten practice in many European and American countries, and its main purpose is to protect the integrity of the family and safeguard basic civil rights, and to prevent family breakdown and moral crisis caused by war.

Unexpectedly, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, Xinlingjun already had such mature humanitarian thoughts. Of course, Xin Lingjun did this not only to protect the basic rights of citizens, but also to let all the fighters have no worries and bravely plunge into this uncertain war, after all, the strength of the Qin army is the consensus of the world, if the soldiers do not have the determination to fight to the death, then this battle will not be fought, and the result will be defeated.

Xinlingjun gave an order, and the 100,000 army immediately left 20,000, so Gongzi took the remaining 80,000 elite soldiers and immediately marched to Handan.

At that time, the city of Handan had been besieged by the Qin army for nearly a year, and the people of the city, including the king of Zhao, were almost about to drink the northwest wind.

At this critical moment, the savior Xin Lingjun came, and his 80,000 reinforcements directly charged the Qin army outside Handan City. The Qin army was caught off guard and was in chaos for a while; Seeing this, Lian Po, a veteran of Zhao State in the city, also seized the opportunity to lead the Zhao army to rush out of the city and attack the Qin army with Wei before and after.

The siege of the city for nearly a year can suffocate the people of Zhao, and outside the city is the great enemy who slaughtered their 400,000 unarmed compatriots in Changping, but they can only stay in the city as shrunken turtles, and at most they can only get angry with two arrows from the city tower. Now that the Wei reinforcements have finally arrived, they can finally let out a breath of air, so the Zhao army killed all of them, and even the women and children rushed to the city tower and shouted and cheered.

At the same time, the Chu army, which had been watching before, also saw the opportunity to kill the city of Handan, and the three troops attacked on three sides, and the Qin army showed signs of exhaustion for the first time.

The onslaught of the first day was over, and the Qin army retreated slightly. Several main generals of the reinforcements of the Three Kingdoms gathered in Xinlingjun's big tent and held a small meeting to discuss how to fight after that.

The Chu general Jingshe believed that the Qin army was very strong in the three directions of southwest and north of Handan, and was the main force of the Qin army; Only Zhao Anping's troops at the east gate are the weakest, only more than 40,000, so we should avoid the real and attack the weak, and attack Zheng Anping's troops first.

General Zhao Lian has always been cautious in marching, he thought about it for a while and asked Xinling Jun: "What does the son think?" ”

Xin Lingjun said with a smile: "Don't do it, our army should attack the South Gate Wang Gong first." ”

"Childe, are you mistaken, Wang Yi is the main general of the Qin army, and his troops are the strongest, how could he fight him first? The art of war is said to "avoid the real and attack the false", but the son wants to choose the hardest bone to gnaw, isn't this a big violation of the way of using soldiers? As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Xin Lingjun explained with a smile: There is nothing wrong with avoiding the real and attacking the false, but in fact, Zheng Anping is the real and Wang Yi is the false.

Why? This involves not only the military, but also the political. Wu Anjun Bai Qi of the Qin State and Fan Ju of the Qin State have always been at odds with Fan Ju, and they have been fighting openly and secretly since very early on. And this time the Qin State attacked Handan, Bai Qi always disagreed, but the King of Qin and Fan Ju insisted on fighting, so Bai Qi said that he was sick and resisted passively.

We all know what Childe said, but does this have anything to do with our solution to the siege of Handan?

Of course it matters, Wang Di is a person who rises in vain, Zheng Anping is Fan Ju's person, Wang Di attacked Handan for several months without success, and he has long wanted to quit this game, but Zheng Anping was sent by his master Fan Ju to support and supervise Wang Ju to take Handan, so Wang Ji will retreat in the face of difficulties, but Zheng Anping must fight to the death, which is why we want to attack Wang Ji first.

When everyone heard this, they all applauded, but they didn't expect Gongzi to analyze the enemy so thoroughly, and they admired and admired.

Second, the three armies of Wei, Zhao and Chu launched a fierce attack on Wang Di's troops according to the agreement, but Wang Di couldn't resist it, and sure enough, he quickly retreated. As soon as Wang Ji retreated, the Qin army in the northwest and the two directions also followed to the west, and it didn't take long for nearly 300,000 Qin troops to withdraw cleanly, leaving only Zheng Anping and a section still struggling to support at the east gate of Handan.

More than 200,000 to more than 40,000, this is not the same as playing! Sure enough, after a few days, only half of Zheng Anping's troops were left, and seeing that the Qin army was about to be completely annihilated, Xinlingjun suddenly announced that he would not fight.

Xinlingjun decided to send someone to persuade Zheng Anping to surrender.

The game of victory has been achieved, and there is no point in dwelling on it any further, and it will only increase unnecessary casualties.

Xinling Jun has a guest name Tang Sui, who is a good debater, and volunteered to go to say that Zheng Anping was surrendered, and the son Xu Zhi.

In fact, after Zheng Anping was abandoned by the main force of the Qin army, he was already disheartened, and he was only one step away.

Therefore, after Tang Sui came to Qin Ying, he moved him to understand and reason, and then added Wei bī) Li repeatedly admonished.

Zheng Anping saw that he had no hope of breaking through, so he had to lead the remaining 20,000 Qin troops to surrender obediently. King Zhao named him Wuyangjun, and died of depression three years later.

Handan City was finally saved, and there was jubilation inside and outside the city, but after a short period of euphoria, Xinlingjun quickly fell into deep guilt and self-blame.

Stealing talismans to save Zhao, saving Zhao is not guilty, but stealing talismans is guilty!
