The king of Chu gathered all the elite soldiers in the country. Attacking Qin again, the two countries fought at Lantian, and the Chu army was again defeated. When Han Wei heard that the Chu army was besieged, he raised his troops to the south to attack the Chu state. When the state of Chu heard the news, he hurriedly led his army back to China and cut off the two cities to make peace with Qin.

The Yan people jointly established Prince Ping for King Zhao. After King Zhao broke the Yan, he hanged himself and asked the orphans, shared the joys and hardships with the people, and humbled himself with thick coins to recruit sages. He said to Guo Kui: "The State of Qi took advantage of the chaos in our country to attack our country, and few people know that the country of Yan is small and weak, and it is not enough to compete with the big powers. But I really hope to win the world of wise men and widows, and be ashamed of the Snow King. Sir, if you see such a wise man, please tell me, and I will surely fellowship with him. ”

Guo Kui said: "In ancient times, there was a man who once sent people to buy a thousand horses with a thousand gold, and when he arrived, the horses were already dead, so the man spent five hundred gold to bring back the horse's head. The king was furious. The man said, "The king is angry." My intention is to let everyone know that we have bought back dead horses for five hundred gold, let alone live horses. I believe that Maxima will be delivered soon. In a few years, three horses were sent one after another. Now that the king wants to get the Magi, let's start with Guo Kui. Moreover, what is better than me is only in a thousand miles. So King Zhao built a palace for Guo Kui and worshipped him as a teacher. So the wise men of the world rushed to the swallow. Le Yi is from Wei, and Xin is from Zhao. King Zhao took Le Yi as the secretary of the Yaqing and took charge of national politics.

Han Xuanhui Wang Xu. Zixiang Wang Li.

Four years. Shu Xiang killed the Marquis of Shu. King Qin Hui sent a messenger to tell King Huai of Chu that he wanted to exchange the land outside Wuguan for Qianzhong of Chu. The king of Chu said: "I don't want to get the land, I want to get Zhang Yi to exchange the land in Qianzhong." "After Zhang Yi heard about it, please do it. The king of Qin said: "The state of Chu is about to kill you, why do you still want to go." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and with the king here, Chu shouldn't dare to do anything to me." Besides, I have a good personal relationship with Jin Shang, the courtier of the king of Chu, Jin Shang served Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of the king of Chu in the palace, and the king of Chu obeyed Zheng Sleeve's words. With the two of them, it's going to be fine. So Zhang Yi got up and went to the state of Chu. When he arrived in the state of Chu, the king of Chu imprisoned him. Ready to kill him. Jin Shang said to Zheng Sleeve: "King Qin is very fond of Zhang Yi, and he will redeem him from the six counties and beauties of Shangyong." The king respects Qin with great respect, and the Qin woman will be precious. Once the Qin Nu is lucky, the lady will be ostracized. ”

So Zheng Sleeve wept day and night, and said to the king of Chu, "Every man is his master." Zhang Yi was also instructed by the King of Qin, what was wrong with him? Now that you want to kill Zhang Yi, the king of Qin will be furious, and the concubine will ask the king to move our mother and son to Jiangnan, so as not to be caught by the Qin state. The king of Chu couldn't stand Zheng Sleeve's chatter in his ear day and night, so he pardoned Zhang Yi and gave him a generous gift. So Zhang Yi said to the king of Chu: "Those who advocate subordination are undoubtedly driving a flock of sheep to fight tigers, and fighting is nothing more than obvious. If the king does not serve the Qin State today, once the Qin State robs Han and drives Liang to attack Chu, the Chu State will be in danger. There is Bashu in the west of the Qin country, the ship accumulates millet, goes down the Min River, travels 500 miles a day, not ten days has arrived at the pass, the pass is broken, then the Wujun of Qianzhong is not owned by the king. The Qin State raised troops to go out of the military pass, and the northern borderland of the Chu State was lost. The Qin soldiers attacked Chu only in two or three months. And it will take half a year for the arrival of the rescue troops of the princes in the state of Chu. Waiting for the rescue of the weak country, and forgetting the disaster of the strong Qin, the minister is really worried about the king. If the king can listen to me, I will definitely persuade the king of Qin to make Qin Chu a brotherly country. No more fighting each other. "The king of Chu has already obtained Zhang Yi, and he doesn't want to lose the land he promised, so he agreed to Zhang Yi's request. Zhang Yi then went to Korea again and said to the king of Han: "The place in Korea is a treacherous mountain dwelling, the variety of grains is single, the country has no two-year-old grain, and there are only 200,000 ready-made soldiers. And the Qin State was more than 100,000 soldiers, mostly warriors like Meng Ben Wuhu, with a million strong troops, attacking a weak country that was not convinced, just like smashing a bird's egg with a thousand huge stones, and it must not be lucky in front of it. The king does not serve Qin, Qin sends troops to occupy Yiyang, and the road to Chenggao is stuffed, and the king's country will be torn apart. The palace of Hongtai, the garden of mulberry forest is not the king's. For the sake of the king, it is better to attack Chu than Qin, turn the disaster and please Qin, there is no better strategy than this. ”

King Han agreed to Zhang Yi. So Zhang Yi returned to report. The king of Qin gave him six cities, called Wu Xinjun. The king of Qin then sent him to the state of Qi and said to the king of Qi: "The people who are close to him will definitely say to the king that the state of Qi has three Jin as a barrier, the land is vast and the people are strong, and the soldiers are strong and brave. The king was just immersed in their rhetoric, ignoring the actual situation. Today, Qin Chu married women and became a country of brothers. Han Xian Yiyang, Wei cut the river, the king of Zhao entered the dynasty to cut the river to do things Qin, the king did not do Qin, Qin drove Han Liang to attack the south of Qi, so that the Zhao army crossed the Qing River, and pointed to Boguan, then Linzi Jimo was not Qi. Once attacked, it is impossible to think about Qin again. King Qi agreed to him.

Zhang Yi went west again and said to King Zhao: "The king led the world to abandon the Qin State, and the Qin soldiers did not dare to send a letter to Guguan for fifteen years. The majesty of the king traveled in Shandong, and the whole country of Qin was terrified. The armor is strong, and the fields are accumulated, and they have never slackened for a day. Today, the Qin State pulled out Xishu, and Hanzhong, wrapped for two weeks, and guarded the white horse of Jin, which is not what it used to be. will be avenged for the old feud. Now Chu and Qin have become brother states, and Han Liang calls himself the minister of Dongpan. The country of Qi has also offered the land of fish and salt. In this way, Zhao Guo's right shoulder was broken, and he broke his right shoulder and fought with people, isn't it very dangerous? Now the Qin State only needs to send three generals and one army to block the noon road, so that the Qi State can cross the Qing River and be stationed in the east of Handan. The other army drove Han Wei's army outside the river in Chenggao, and the other army attacked Zhao together with the four countries in Mianchi. Break Zhao will divide the land. The ministers privately offered advice to the king, so it was better to meet with the king of Qin and make a mouth, and grow into a country of brothers. King Zhao agreed.

Zhang Yi went north to Yan and said to the king of Yan: "Now that the king of Zhao has entered the court, he will send the land between the rivers to serve Qin." If the king does not serve the Qin State, the Qin State sends troops to the Jiuyuan in the clouds, drives Zhao and attacks Yan, then the Yishui Great Wall is not owned by the king. Today's Qi and Zhao are like counties and counties for the Qin State, and they dare not easily raise troops to attack, and if the great king ministers Qin, there will never be any trouble with soldiers. ”

King Yan asked for the five cities of Changshan to be peaceful, and Zhang Yi returned to report. did not go to Xianyang and Qin Hui Wang Xu. Ziwu Wang Li.

When King Wu was the crown prince, he didn't like Zhang Yi. and when he ascended the throne, and his ministers destroyed him before him.

The princes heard that Zhang Yi and the King of Qin had a conflict, that is, they rebelled and reverted to the alliance.

In the fifth year, Zhang Yi said to King Wu of Qin: "For the king's plan, the eastern princes should be changed, and then the king can cede more land." The minister heard that the king of Qi hated the minister very much, and the king of Qi would definitely attack which country the minister was in. The minister was willing to go to the Liang Kingdom. Then the Qi State must cut down the beams. Qi and Liang fought and could not get out, the king took the opportunity to attack Han, entered Sanchuan, coerced the Son of Heaven, and the case was illustrated, which was a once-in-a-lifetime royal industry. ”

King Qin agreed. The king of Qi really cut down the beam. Liang Wang is afraid. Zhang Yi said: "The king doesn't have to worry. Now I will send people to say that the king of Qi has dismissed his army. So he asked him to go to Chu to borrow an envoy to the king of Qi and said, "Zhang Yi's trip to Wei was planned by the king of Qin and Zhang Yi. ”

King Qi said, "What's the matter? The envoy of the state of Chu said: "Zhang Yi's trip to the state of Wei was planned with the king of Qin for a long time. The purpose is to attack each other with Liang, and the Qin State will take the opportunity to capture Sanchuan, and today the king really cut down the Liang, it is the king who wastes the country's resources to attack the country that is close to him, so as to show Zhang Yi's credit to the King of Qin. So the king of Qi broke the siege.

Zhang Yi served as a minister in Wei for a year before he died.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin both started by lobbying the princes with vertical and horizontal techniques, so that they became rich and unlimited. At that time, people all over the world were vying to imitate them, and there was Sun Yan, the Wei people, who was the head of the rhino. It is also famous for talking. The rest of the Sudai. Su Li, Zhou most. Lou slow, etc., all over the world, specializing in argument and deceit. Overwhelming. And Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Gongsun Yan are the most famous.

Mencius commented: Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi is really a great husband, angry and the princes are afraid, and live in peace and the world rests. Mencius said, how can they be called great husbands? A gentleman in the world should be in the right position and do the right thing. Dezhi is to enjoy with the people. If you don't have the will, you go your own way. The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the poor cannot be moved. Mighty and unyielding. That's what a husband is. Yangzi Fayan said, some people say that Zhang Yi and Su Qin learned the art of Guigu, Xi Zongheng, and China for more than ten years, is this true? He replied that they were all deceitful villains, how could a saint do that. Some people say, how about reading the book of Confucius and doing the things of Qin? replied, it is excessive, the voice is like a phoenix, the action is like a vulture, I believe that Zigong will not do this, and Zigong will be ashamed if he is confused. If you say that you are not rich, Yi Qin will be ashamed. Some people say that the trip to Yiqin is also a kind of talent, but it is different. In the past, the emperor would be embarrassed to employ people, so didn't he employ people according to his talents? It's talent, but it's not what we advocate.
