The two armies were not sure of victory, and both wanted to preserve their strength. So Wei Shuai Han held both of them still, intending to consume until the other party gave in first.

The reason why the two armies of Wei and Han have cooperated tacitly in the past ten years is because they are willing to accept the unified command of the leader of the Qi State Alliance. With the brave and combative Qi Jiji as the main force, Wei and Han's younger brothers have the confidence to win, and dare to go to the soup for the big guy in order to carve up more spoils. In other words, the Wei army had very little experience in fighting with the Korean army alone.

Under the planning and dispatch of General Qi, the Three Kingdoms Alliance resolutely implemented the battle plan, so that the Chu army and the Qin army did not leave an opportunity to take advantage of. And Han and Wei are equal in strength, and they don't accept each other in their bones. Once there is no backbone of mutual recognition, it is difficult for both sides to maintain unity of action.

As the commander-in-chief, Gongsun Xi could not command the Korean army, so he had to abandon the plan of preemptive strike. He judged that the Qin army would definitely attack the Korean army first, and he could still advance and retreat despite the difficulties. Although General Han did not listen to Gongsun Xi's orders and complained about how timid the Wei soldiers were, he had to take out twelve points of spirit to guard against the Qin army. Once Bai rises up and attacks, the South Korean army in the front line will have to fight if they don't want to. However, the South Korean army was only carefully arranged, and did not even bother to make a tentative attack.

Gongsun Xi didn't know at this moment that the information that he was arguing with General Han had already been obtained by the Qin army. Based on this, Bai Qi decided to set up a suspicious array to contain the Han army, and then concentrate his forces to attack the unsuspecting Wei army first. The Qin army south of Yique Pass, which made the Han army vigilant in every way, was actually just a bluffing suspicious soldier. The main force of the Qin army had already broken out of its shell, and quietly returned to the Wei army north of Yique Mountain through a long-distance attack.

Wei Jun thought that he could sit back and relax behind the Han army, but he didn't know that the mountains and rivers were dead and people were alive. The Qin army made a detour behind the coalition army, the Wei army's retreat was completely cut off, the army was defeated, and the commander Gongsun Xi was also captured by Bai Qi. When the South Korean army learned of the defeat of its outnumbered allies, they panicked and fled...... The surging Yishui was dyed blood-red and blood-red, and the corpses of Yique were all over the field.

The 240,000 Wei-Han coalition forces were wiped out by the Qin army, which was less than half of itself. Gongsun Xi, the general of the defeated army, looked at the mountains of heads in a trance, including Wei Wushu and Korean samurai. The Qin people who died in battle were wrapped in horse leather, but their own subordinates were not completely dead. He repented that he had not done it at the beginning.

Throughout the Battle of Yique, although the Wei and Han coalition forces were superior in numbers, their morale was inferior. The successive defeats made the Wei and Han soldiers have a strong fear of war. Both sides want others to contribute more, fearing that they will be wronged by friendly forces. The commanders of the two armies lacked geographical imagination, and their minds simply thought that everything would be fine if they blocked the Qin army's way north, and there was no reason to lose this battle!

South Korea is the biggest weakness of Zhao and Wei. Qin wanted to bully the Sanjin, so he sent a letter to Guguan and fought South Korea.

In terms of national strength, South Korea can't actually be regarded as the weakest country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, because there is also the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the Yan State was close to the border fortress, and the Central Plains countries had relatively little exchanges, the population was relatively small, and the economy was not developed, and the strength of the Qi State and the Zhao State on both sides was above the Yan State, so there was not much room for development. By the middle and late Warring States period, Yan was already the weakest country in China, except for disputes with Qi State, Yan basically did not take the initiative to participate in the struggles of various countries, and most of them were passive. Yan had no ambition to compete in the Central Plains, nor did it want to form alliances with other powers, and only wanted to protect itself.

Yan State is not only weak, but also experienced an unprecedented toss, first the King of Yan wanted to follow the example of Yao Shunyu and cede the throne to the prime minister, and then the State of Qi, which had long had ambitions for the Yan State, used this as a reason to immediately attack the Yan State. After King Yan Zhao ascended the throne, he recruited talents and recruited Le Yi, and finally formed a situation in which the five kingdoms were defeated. The Yan State was very smooth at the beginning, and there were only two cities left in the Qi State, but at this time, the King of Yan Zhao fell into the counter-plot and replaced Le Yi, and the Qi State took the opportunity to counterattack, and finally restored the country.

After some tossing, both Yan and Qi returned to their pre-tossing state, and no one took advantage of it. The strength of the Yan State was greatly damaged, but it didn't matter, because the Yan State was originally a weak country and did not play much role in resisting Qin. However, the five kingdoms of Qi made the relationship between Qi and other countries more tense and distrustful of each other, and the Qi State no longer led the Kwantung countries to jointly attack Qin, and the Chu State was busy expanding south of the Yangtze River, and was not active in rescuing the Central Plains countries, and only the Three Jin Dynasty independently dealt with the already fledgling Qin State. In other words, after the toss between the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, the most seriously damaged State was actually the Sanjin.

Since the founding of Korea, except for the period when Shen was not harmful, the Qin State basically maintained the record of attacking Korea on a large scale every ten years, and each time it beheaded tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Koreans. For South Korea, which was already between Qin, Zhao and Wei, of course, it was regular bloodletting, so that South Korea was in a state of blood loss for a long time and could not recover to a state of full blood. In other words, South Korea has always been in a relatively weak state, and Qin can attack at any time, and it comes and goes freely, and South Korea has no ability to fight back.

Although South Korea is not the weakest country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, except for the Yan Kingdom, that is, South Korea is the weakest. Korea was unable to resist Qin's attack on its own, and had to rely on the rescue of Wei and Zhao. If Zhao and Wei do not come to the rescue, Qin can attack Zhao and Wei at any time through Korea. Therefore, although the Sanjin Dynasty is separated, it is still tied together geopolitically and cannot be separated, which is determined by geopolitics. Only by tying them together will they be able to deal with the Qin State in the west and the Qi State in the east. Otherwise, whether it is Qi or Qin, it will be enough for Sanjin to drink a pot.

In the early Warring States period, when Wei was relatively strong, Korea was mainly dependent on Qin and Zhao to resist Wei, otherwise Wei would not have kept Korea and used Qin as an advance base to attack Wei. By the time the comparison between the strengths and weaknesses of Qin and Wei was reversed, South Korea was basically tied to Zhao and Wei. However, in the era of the Zongheng family, Korea was bewitched by the Qin state and constantly ceded its own land to the Qin state to avoid the attack of the Qin state, that is, to bribe the Qin. This is very bad for Zhao and Wei, but the two countries cannot fully control South Korea, so they can only let it go, and once South Korea is attacked by Qin, Zhao and Wei cannot help but go all out to rescue for their own safety.

Although Korea was not fighting alone, the three Jin Dynasty were not united, and they were often divided and disintegrated by the Qin State, especially the small and weak South Korea, which often swayed back and forth between Zhao Wei and the Qin State, which also gave the Qin State an opportunity. To a certain extent, it can even be said that Korea has become a bait for Qin to wait for work and weaken Zhao and Wei. Because the Qin state always attacked Korea first, attracting the Zhao and Wei countries to come to the rescue, and then defeating and weakening the strength of the Zhao and Wei countries. Korea in this state is the most beneficial to Qin, and it is very unfavorable to Zhao and Wei.

The same is true in South Korea. Although South Korea must rely on Zhao and Wei to exist, Zhao and Wei do not have full control over South Korea's actions, so South Korea often digs holes, and in the end it must be filled by Zhao and Wei, especially Zhao. This is how the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao took place, when Korea was forced to cede Shangdang County to Qin, and Shangdang County offered to annex Zhao, and finally Zhao had to send a large army to fight a strategic decisive battle with Qin. And when the Zhao State was defeated, the Wei State must also go all out to rescue, otherwise the Three Jin Dynasty will be wiped out by the Qin State.

On the other hand, if the Qin State could not have an absolute advantage over the Three Jin Dynasty combined, it would not be a wise move to rashly and completely annex Korea. Because this means that the Qin State must station a large number of troops on the territory of Korea for a long time, ready to fight with Zhao and Wei at any time, and it may be the alliance of the six Kwantung countries. For the Qin state, the defense of Tongguan was obviously much better than the defense of the territory in Korea. In this sense, keeping Korea is conducive to the long-term interests of the Qin State, which can constantly weaken the Three Jins, and he is in a state of being able to advance and retreat, holding the initiative.

Moreover, the six eastern countries are not united with each other and invade each other. The six states of Shandong were not a whole at all, they dismantled each other, attacked each other, and even united with Qin to attack other countries. For example, during the Warring States Period, the State of Qi used the internal turmoil of Yan to destroy Yan, and after the restoration of King Zhao of Yan, he united with Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin to launch the "Five Kingdoms Expedition to Qi", and Zhao State continued to crusade against Yan State while fighting against Qin State after the Battle of Changping. The relationship between the countries is determined by each other's national interests, and the difference in national interests determines that it is impossible for the six countries in Shandong to truly unite together.

On the other hand, Qin adopted a flexible strategy to deal with the alliance of the six states: Qin first destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance through Zhang Yi's deception of Chu, then defeated Chu several times to weaken it, and participated in the "Five Kingdoms Expedition to Qi" to weaken Qi. Later, Fan Ju's strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" was adopted by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and Qin made good friends with Yan and Qi, who did not border with him, and specifically attacked the Three Jin (Han, Zhao, Wei) and Chu State, basically defeating Chu State and Zhao State that rose after Hu Fu Cavalry, King Wuling of Zhao. By the late Warring States period, the Qin State dominated the world, and no country could prevent it from unifying China.

Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh: There is more than enough success and more failure!

In daily life, people often use the saying "not enough to achieve, more than to fail" as a metaphor for the kind of people who not only can't do things, but also stab Lou Zi. How does this saying come from?

According to legend, in the past, there was a scholar who loved books like his life, and the ten-year hard study of "the head cantilever cone piercing the strand" prompted him to devote himself to gaining fame. But several township tests have been named Sun Shan. He thought: "The fame of a lifetime lies in success or failure." So after getting married, starting a family, and having a son, he named his eldest son "Chengshi"; The child was named "Defeat", and the scholar hoped that his son would become Jackie Chan and discipline his two sons very strictly.

One day, the scholar had to go out on errands, and before leaving home, he told his wife: urge his two sons not to slack off in their studies, and stipulated: in addition to familiarizing himself with the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", he should also practice calligraphy every day, and stipulated that the eldest son should write 300 Chinese characters and the younger son write 200. The wife complied, urging her two sons to read and write every day. Day after day, she estimated that when her husband was about to return, she personally tested her son's endorsement and checked how many words they had written. She counted, and the eldest son wrote fifty fewer words, while the younger son wrote fifty more.

After the scholar returned, he asked about the study and practice of his two sons, and his wife told the truth seriously: "Endorsement is like flowing water, and the words are also written, but the success is insufficient, and there are more failures, both of them are two hundred and five." ”

Later, people took it as a joke. It has changed its meaning and become a derogatory term.
