Nineteen years. Qin Shang Ying built wings in Xianyang. and moved the capital here. He also commanded that fathers, sons, and brothers should not live together among the people. A number of townships are divided into one county. The counties are in order. There are 31 counties in total. Abandoned well fields, open up a strange place. Uniform weights and measures.

Qin Wei met in Tongdi.

Zhao Chenghou Xu. The prince and the prince argued. Failed to run to Korea.

In the twenty-first year, Qin Shang Ying promulgated the law of taxation.

In the twenty-second year, Fan, the son of Zhao State, raised an army to attack Handan, and was defeated and died.

In the twenty-third year, the State of Qi killed his eldest doctor.

Lu Kang Gongxue, Zijing Gong,

Wei Gong was demoted to Hou, and he belonged to the Three Jins.

Twenty-five years, the princes of the assembly of the capital division.

In the twenty-sixth year, the king of Zhou added the title of Marquis of Qin, and the princes congratulated him.

Qin Xiao envoy Gongzi Shaoguan and the princes met in Fengze to court the king of Zhou.

Twenty-eight years. Pang Juan of Wei conquered Han. South Korea asked Qi for help. King Qi Wei summoned his ministers and said, "Is it better to save it early or late?" ”

Chenghou said: "It's better not to save it." ”

Tian Ji said: "If you don't save it, Korea will be incorporated into Wei." It's better to save it early. ”

Sun Bin said: "Han Wei's soldiers are not tired and I saved them, and I used my soldiers to receive them on behalf of Han." Instead, they have to obey South Korea's orders. Moreover, this time the Wei State has the ambition to break the country, and if Korea dies, the Wei State will defeat the east. We should be deeply accommodating with Korea, but we should not rush to war with Wei. In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone, fame and fortune.

King Qi said, "Very good. “

So he promised to send troops and sent the Han envoy away.

Because South Korea has Qi as a backer, it desperately defends the city. No battle is invincible. To the east, the country is in Qi. Therefore, the state of Qi raised troops. Make Tian Ji, Tian Ying, Tian Pan as a general, Sun Bin as a military advisor, and save Han. The army went straight to the capital of Wei. When Pang Juan heard this, he had no choice but to give up attacking South Korea and turn around to save him.

Wei also sent a large number of troops, with the crown prince Shen as the general, to meet the Qi army.

Sun Tzu said to Tian Ji: "The soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty have always been strong and belligerent, and they look down on the cowardice of the Qi army. Those who know how to fight are good at taking advantage of the situation. The art of war says that those who seek profit for a hundred miles will be generals. Fifty miles and those who seek profit, the army is half there. So he ordered the Qi army to bury 100,000 pots and stoves when they first entered Wei. The next day, it was changed to a 50,000-eye pot stove. Another day passed, and it was changed to 20,000 eyes. Pang Juan followed for three days in a row, and when he saw that the pot stove of the Qi army was decreasing day by day, he was overjoyed and said, "I know that the people of Qi have always been cowardly. It has only been three days since we entered our country, and more than half of the soldiers have fled. So he gave up the infantry, and marched only with its elite.

The grandson considered his itinerary and could go to Maling Road that night. Maling Road is narrow and surrounded by many dangerous passes. Sun Tzu had a piece of bark cut off from a large tree, and wrote on it "Pang Juan died under this tree", and ordered the crossbowmen to lie down beside Maling Road. In the evening, when the torches were raised under the trees, all the crossbows were fired in unison. In the evening, Pang Juan really rushed to Maling Road. And he saw the white book on the tree, so that he could raise a fire and take care of it. Before I finished reading it, there were already 10,000 crossbows in unison. The Wei army was in turmoil. Seeing this, Pang Juan knew that his wisdom was exhausted, and sighed: "I didn't expect to become a kid because of this." After saying that, he committed suicide by swinging his sword.

The Qi army took advantage of the victory to attack and broke the Wei division. Capture the crown prince Shen.

Chenghou Su Ji Tian Ji. Make people carry ten gold to divinate in the city, suppose I am Tian Ji's person, I will win three battles and three victories, and I will do great things, is it okay? "Wait for this person to come out, send someone to catch him, and present him to the king of Qi. Tian Ji couldn't tell himself, because Shuai Jiajia attacked Linzi in order to catch Chenghou. The siege of the city was not overcome, and he ran out of the Chu State.

Twenty-nine years. Wei Ying said to Qin Xiaogong: "The relationship between Qin and Wei is like a person with a heart disease, either Wei and Qin, or Qin and Wei. Why? The state of Wei lived in the west of Ling, and the capital was Anyi. It is across the river from the Qin State. But it is the only advantage of Shandong. If the situation is favorable, the west will invade Qin, and if the situation is unfavorable, the east can reap the geographical advantages. Now because of the king's sage, the country depends on it to be strong. In previous years, the Wei State was defeated by Qi, and the princes betrayed. We are attacking Wei at this time, and the Wei State must not be able to support it, and it will definitely move eastward. Then the Qin state can occupy the solid mountains and rivers and go east to control the princes. This is the work of the emperor. "Xiao Gong listened to his advice and made him attack Wei. Wei made Gongzi lead his troops to resist the enemy. The two armies were far apart, and Wei Ying sent a letter to Gongzi, which said: "I was good friends with Gongzi at the beginning, but now the two countries are generals, and I can't bear to attack each other, and I am willing to make a date with Gongzi, drink and strike the army, and appease the people of Qin and Wei." ”

Gongzi didn't know what the plan was, and readily agreed to go to the alliance. The guards attacked the prince and captured the prince. Then wave the army to attack the Wei army. Break the Wei army. King Wei Hui was terrified and sent an envoy to sacrifice the land west of the river to seek peace. Therefore, he left Anyi and moved the capital to Daliang. Only then did he sigh and say, "I regret that I didn't use my uncle's words in the first place." ”

The Qin State sealed the fifteenth place of the martingale merchants. The number is Shangjun.

Qi Zhao Vawei.

Chu Xuan Wang. Ziwei Wang Li.

Thirty-one years. Qin Xiao Gongxue. Zi Huiwen Wang Li. The pious disciples of the prince sued Shang Ying for rebellion. Officials were sent to arrest Shang Ying. Shang Ying fled to the state of Wei. The Wei people did not accept him and drove him back to Qin. Shang Ying had no choice but to return to Shang Yu with his men and send troops to attack Zheng Di. Qin sent an army to round up, captured Shang Ying, and the car was split to be martyred. Destroy their homes. At first, Shang Jun was Qin Xiang, and the usage was harsh. Once in Wei, the water was stained red with blood. For ten years, most people resented him. Zhao Liang once went to see Shang Jun. Shang Jun asked: "Sir, who is the most virtuous compared to me governing the Qin State and the five doctors?" ”

Zhao Liang said: "Everyone praises each other, it is better for one person to tell the truth." I want to tell a few truths, but please sir don't get angry and kill me, okay? ”

Shang Jun said, "Okay. ”

Zhao Liang said: "Doctor Wuqi is the common people of the land of Jing Barbarian, and Mu Gong lifted him above the people under the mouth of the cow, and no one in the Qin country can compare with him. In the sixth or seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, the Eastern Expedition to Zheng, the three Jin Jun, and the rescue of the thorns. When he was a prime minister, he didn't sit and ride, and he didn't open his cover in the summer. Walking in the middle of the country, not riding with the car, not doing anything. Doctor Wuqi died, the men and women of the Qin State wept bitterly, the boy stopped singing ballads, and the people who were working stopped in silence. And now, Mr., because of the eunuch Jingjian, when he was in politics, he abused the clan and brutalized the people, and the son had been closed for eight or nine years. Mr. killed Zhu Huai and the Duke of Sun Jia, and the Book of Poetry said that those who win people are prosperous, and those who lose people die. Through these points, it shows that the gentleman cannot win souls. Mr. travels, the front calls and hugs, there are many Gojia, and if there is no thing, Mr. will not travel. Zhou Shu said that those who are virtuous prosper, and those who are powerful perish. All your deeds are not virtuous, but powerful. You are now in danger, but you still have no repentance, greedy for business, lingering on the power of Qin, and accumulating the resentment of the people against you. Once the King of Qin abandons the guests and no longer establishes a dynasty, do you think that the people who can take your life from the Qin State are only a few? ”

Shang Jun could not heed his advice, and after five months, the great calamity came.

Thirty-two years. South Korea's Shin is not a pawn.

Thirty-three years.

Meng Ke of Zou saw King Wei Hui. King Wei said: "Sir, you have come from thousands of miles away, do you have any suggestions that are beneficial to our country?" ”

Mencius said, "Why should a king talk about profit, but only benevolence and righteousness." Whatever the king says can be beneficial to our country, what the doctor says is beneficial to my family, what the scholars say is beneficial to my own country, and the whole country is based on the principle of seeking profit, and the country is in danger. No one forgets his relatives because of benevolence, and no one puts the interests of the country behind because of righteousness. The king of Wei said, "Okay." “

At the beginning, Mencius worshipped Zisi as his teacher and asked him what was the first way of herdsmen, and Zisi said: "Profit is the first." “

Mencius said, "A gentleman should teach the people to put benevolence and righteousness first, so why should he tempt them with profit?" “

Zisi said: "Benevolence and righteousness are the embodiment of profit, and if the superior is not benevolent, the lower will not be able to do it." For the unrighteousness of the superior, then for the subordinate to fight for the deception, this is the real disadvantage. Therefore righteousness is in the midst of profit. Yi Shang said that profit is the embodiment of righteousness, and said that profit can be used to settle down and magnify virtue. ”

Sima Guang said: In fact, the words of Mencius and Zisi are the same, and only the benevolent know the great place where benevolence and righteousness are beneficial. The unrighteous do not know. Therefore, when Mencius saw the king of Liang, he only said benevolence and righteousness without mentioning the word profit. It's just because the people you're talking to are different.

Thirty-four years. Qin attacked Han and attacked Yiyang.

In the thirty-fifth year, the king of Qi and the king of Wei met in Xuzhou and proclaimed each other kings.

Han Zhaohou made a high gate. Qu Yijiu said: "The king must not go out of this door. Why? It's not the right time to do this. In previous years, the king did not build the high gate when he had time, last year the Qin people attacked Yiyang, and this year the world was in a great drought, and the king was not anxious about the people's urgency, and repaired this useless gate, isn't it not timely? ”

The king of Yue has no borders. The king of Qi sent people to lobby, saying that it was better to destroy the benefits of Qi than to destroy Chu, and the king of Yue then attacked Chu and was defeated by the Chu people, and the Chu people took advantage of the victory to take the hometown of Wu. As far east as Zhejiang. As a result, the Yue Kingdom was scattered, and the princes contended, either as kings or as kings, scattered on the sea, and subordinated to the Chu State.

Thirty-six years. The king of Chu besieged Xuzhou.

South Korea's Komun-sung. Han Zhaohou Xu. Zi Xuanhui Wang Li.

At the beginning, Su Qin, a native of Luoyang, told the King of Qin that the King of Qin could not use the technique of annexing the world. Su Qin went to see Yan Wengong and said, "The reason why Yan Guo did not commit crimes and was not armored, is because Zhao Guo made a barrier in the south. The Qin State attacked Yan and fought thousands of miles away, and the Zhao State attacked Yan and fought within a hundred miles. Once the Zhao State is exhausted, the Yan State is in danger. In order to keep the peace and tranquility constantly, the king should be close to the Zhao State, and if the princes of the world are hugged, the Yan Kingdom can always be safe and tranquil. Yan Wengong listened to his suggestion, subsidized his carriage and horse fares, and went to persuade Zhao Suhou. Su Qin saw Zhao Suhou and said: "In today's world, among the several countries of Shandong, the strongest one is Zhao, and the one who is harmed by the Qin State is no more than Zhao." However, the Qin State did not dare to raise troops to attack Zhao because it was afraid that Han Wei would contain it later. The Qin State attacked Han Wei, and there were no famous mountains and rivers to use as a barrier, and it would be eaten away after a long time. If Han Wei does not support it, he will be subordinate to Qin. Without Han Wei's containment, the Qin State will move its troops to Zhao. According to the analysis of the map of the world, the land of the princes is five times that of Qin. It is estimated that the strength of the princes together is ten times that of Qin. If the six kingdoms unite and attack Qin, the Qin state will be broken. Those who lobbied the princes with a plan of balance persuaded the king to cede the land and send it to Qin, and if the Qin state benefited, they would also be rich and noble. But they didn't care that the country was suffering from Qin every day, but only used the strength of Qin to intimidate the king day and night, so as to cut off the land. Don't you know that the land of the princes is limited, and the desires of the Qin State are endless, and there will always be a time when they will be cut off, may the king think carefully. Stealing is the king's plan, it is better to unite Han Weiqi Chuyan, and everyone will be close to Qin. Order the world to make a contract with the Huanshui Alliance, and if the Qin State attacks one country, the five countries will each send a sharp division, either to block it or save it. If there is one who does not meet the agreement, the five kingdoms will be cut down together. The princes followed Qin from their relatives. Qin Jia must not send a letter to Guguan to harm Shandong. ”

Su Hou was overjoyed and treated Su Qin well. Exalt him and give him bounty. and sent him to make a date with the princes.

At that time, it happened that the envoy of the Qin State attacked Wei and defeated more than 40,000 Wei soldiers. Capture its general Long Jia. Capture the Eagle Yin. And there will be an army to the east. Su Qin was afraid that the Qin soldiers would come to Zhao and break the contract, and considering that there was no one to use in the Qin State, he pretended to provoke Zhang Yi and made him enter Qin.
