"The Legend of the Heroes of King Wuling of Zhao" was written in the seventh volume of "The Most Ruthless King's Family", and King Chu Huai entered Qin but was detained by King Zhaoxiang of Qin and imprisoned Zhangtai. Now is there a question to be answered? What kind of person is King Chu Huai.

When it comes to King Chu Huai, the first image is that he is a sinner in Chu State. Because King Chu Huai was played with by King Qin's father and son, he brought the powerful Chu State into the abyss, so that in Wuguan Huimeng, he was detained by King Qin Zhaoxiang with fraud, and finally ended up dying in a foreign land, a tragic fate.

So, what kind of person is King Chu Huai? Is it really the mediocre king who was played with by the Qin State and applauded, and finally died in the Qin State? The answer is no. During the reign of King Huai of Chu, it was the State of Qi that shattered the dream of a great power in Chu. King Chu Huai is not a mediocre and incompetent king. Personally, I think that King Chu Huai is an ambitious monarch. At the same time, he is also a tragic hero.

Today, let's briefly talk about the different King Chu Huai.

Xiong Huai, King of Chuhuai, was born in 355 BC and died in 296 BC. It was the Warring States Period, the monarch of the State of Chu. His father is the king of Chu Wei, and his son is Xiong Heng, the king of Chu Qingxiang. He reigned from 328 BC to 299 BC.

In 329 BC, King Wei of Chu died, and King Huai of Chu succeeded to the throne.

King Huai of Chu succeeded to the throne, and the state of Chu was unstable. Wei saw that Chu was in mourning, and the new monarch had not yet established his authority, so he sent a big gift to King Chu Huai. This great gift of Wei is not small, directly sent troops to attack Chu and captured several cities of Chu, which is the national shame encountered by King Chu Huai when he succeeded to the throne, which is called the shame of Jingshan.

In the face of the humiliation brought by Wei to Chu, King Huai of Chu did not attack Wei with his whole country. On the contrary, King Chu Huai was eating and drinking every day, cynical and disrespectful. The people of Chu said that King Chu Huai was cowardly and stupid, and would bury the hegemony left by King Chu Wei. King Chu Huai knew that the minister was dissatisfied with him, but he just listened to it.

What Chu Chen did not expect, King Chu Huai quickly stabilized the situation of the Chu State and rectified the rule of officials. After a few more years, King Huai of Chu took Zhaoyang as his general and crusaded against Wei. Zhaoyang lived up to expectations, defeated the Wei State in the Battle of Xiangcheng, captured several cities, and washed away the shame of Jingshan brought by the Wei people to the Chu people. King Chu Huai fought a battle and established supreme military might. Whether it was Chu Chen or the princes of the Central Plains, they did not dare to underestimate him.

The Warring States is always changing, and the heroes are vying for hegemony.

The state of Qin followed the example of Wei and Qi and held the king of Xiang.

In order to break the pattern of the princes of Shandong. Zhang Yi divided the world equally with the alliance of Qin, Qi and Chu. The states of Chu and Qi looked down on the states of Qin, and this alliance ended in failure. However, the Sanjin men do not want to be divided by Qi, Chu, and Qin. Sun Yan, the Duke of Wei, took Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Zhongshan, and was the king of the Five Kingdoms, and he dealt with Qi, Qin, and Chu.

Although the strength of the Wei State is far inferior to before, the Wei Wushu is no longer an invincible and invincible force. However, the Wei state had the roots of the hegemon. The prime minister of the Five Kingdoms had a serious obstacle to the strategy of Chu going north. In order to disintegrate the prime minister of the Five Kingdoms, the State of Qi attacked Zhongshan and separated Yan and Zhao; Qin attacked Wei and Korea and threatened with force; The state of Chu directly sent troops to occupy the territory of the state of Wei. The five kingdoms joined forces and eventually collapsed.

King Wei Hui and King Qi Wei were far-sighted lords who maintained the balance of the world. However, the death of the two kings disrupted the pattern of the world. Seeing this, King Qin Hui took advantage of Han Wei to expedition to Qi.

Unfortunately, this expedition of the Qin State ended in a fiasco. The Qin people boasted of themselves, and the myth of invincibility in the world was shattered.

The Qin state was defeated, and the princes who were oppressed by the Qin people united and raised troops to attack the Qin state.

Sun Yan, the Duke of Wei, once again traveled among the princes and advocated cooperation.

Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu raised the alliance, and the five countries attacked the Qin state, and the soldiers sent a letter to Guguan. This time, King Chu Huai is the commander. It is enough to see how strong the Chu State was at the beginning. Of course? This is also the first time in the history of the Qin State that it is facing the crisis of national destruction. Due to the detachment of the princes, they were broken by the Qin State. The state of Chu took the lead in withdrawing its troops, betraying its promises and offending the princes of the Central Plains.

The status of the state of Chu plummeted in the minds of the princes of the Central Plains.

In the following year, King Qin Hui sent troops to attack the Sanjin, Xiuyu fought a battle, and beheaded 80,000 men in the Sanjin. The state of Chu watched from the wall, and finally ended up on fire.

In 316 B.C., the state of Qin debated between attacking Han in the east and attacking Bashu in the south to spy on Chu. In the end, King Qin Hui took Sima Cuo as his general and broke Bashu in the south.

The contradictions between Qin and Chu were further intensified.

King Qin Hui took Zhang Yi as an envoy and sent an envoy to the state of Chu to divide the plot of Qi and Chu.

Prince Chu Huai believed in the Qin people too much, and even looked down on the Qin people, misjudging the situation, causing Qi and Chu to break off diplomatic relations. When the Qin State achieved its goal, it sent troops to attack the Chu State. On the grounds that he was deceived by Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi, the king of Chu asked Qin Guoxing for his guilt and sought justice.

In the first battle of Chongqiu, the state of Chu won a great victory, and the state of Qin was defeated. However, King Chu Huai was too confident and ignored the combat effectiveness of the Qin people. The state of Qin began to gradually turn the tide of the war without reversing the defeat in the first battle.

Subsequently, the Qin and Chu sides fought a decisive battle in Danyang. In this battle, the state of Chu was defeated, 80,000 were beheaded, more than 70 generals including Qu Kuo were killed, and the status of the Qu clan was gone. Qu Yuan was very sad when he saw that the powerful Chu State was defeated by the Qin State, and used "National Martyrdom" to commemorate the soldiers who died for the country.

Danyang was defeated and the ancestral mausoleum was trampled, which was the national shame of the Chu State. The state of Chu is united in its heart, determined to fight with the Qin State to the end, and wash away the shame of the past.

King Chu Huai poured the strength of the country and re-attacked the Qin state. The Chu people were overwhelmed, defeated the Qin people, recovered the lost territory, and Bingfeng arrived at Lantian.

Lantian is the most important checkpoint of Gongwei Xianyang. If Lantian is lost, the Qin State will fall.

The danger of Qin's second demise was also imposed by King Chu Huai. In order to defend against the Chu people, King Qin Hui even sent the princes and guards to Lantian. King Qin Hui also sacrificed to the heavens, in the form of "Curse Chu Wen", denounced the Chu people for being unrighteous.

The state of Chu used the strength of a single country to fight against Qin, Han, Wei, Yue and Qin's subordinate Bashu, and showed no signs of defeat. Collect Danyang, fight Lantian, and defeat the Yue country several times. The state of Chu defeated the coalition forces by an overwhelming margin.

However, King Chu Huai did not think that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable. The battle between Qin and Chu eventually led to the second melee in the Central Plains.

If it weren't for Han and Wei's attack on Nanyang of Chu State, it would lead to a crisis of tightness and even defeat of Chu State. How could King Chu Huai miss the opportunity to break through Xianyang and ask the King of Qin for his crimes.

In this battle, the state of Chu challenged the alliance of the princes without being defeated, which is enough to see how strong the state of Chu is under the rule of King Chu Huai.

King Qin Hui died, and the young lord King Qin Wu (for King Qin Wu, he once spoke about a different King of Qin Wu. If you are interested, you can check it out. Succession. King Huai of Chu used King Wu of Qin to go down to Sanchuan and Guan Jiuding to replace Ji Zhou and take the initiative to help Qin attack Yiyang. The purpose of King Chu Huai was to let King Wu of Qin win Ji Zhou, risk the disapproval of the world, and then lead to a joint attack by the princes.

King Huai of Chu also helped the royal road in the name of uniting the princes and crusading against the Qin State. However, King Wu of Qin watched Jiuding and died in the world. Let him miss the opportunity to call on the heroes to attack the Qin State.

As the national strength of the state of Chu returned to the level of the Second Great War.

King Chu Huai saw that there were princes in the north to defend him, and he could not drink the Yellow River and expand his territory; The west cannot break the Qin; The king of Chu then looked strategically at Yueguo, a great power in the east. King Chu Huai took advantage of Han and Wei's vitality to be seriously injured and had not yet recovered; Yan and Zhao concentrated on reform and did not participate in the war in the Central Plains; Qi Guopu was defeated by the combined forces of Qin, Han and Wei, and Yan Land was gained and lost, and the national strength was greatly damaged; The Qin State fell into the rebellion of the princes, and had no time to take care of the war in the Central Plains.

On the one hand, King Chu Huai ordered people to prepare for the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, and on the other hand, he provoked contradictions between the two countries of Yue and Qi, as well as the Yue royal family. The three kingdoms of Qi, Yue, and Chu fell into a melee.

King Qi Xuan, King Wu of Yue, and King Chu Huai fought wits and courage.

King Chu Huai took advantage of the attention of Qi to attack the Yue State in one fell swoop, swallowing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The state of Chu became the largest state on the Yangtze River. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River became the internal river of the Chu State. The state of Chu sits on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and has become a supergiant.

King Chu Huai led the state of Chu to its extreme prosperity and also to the peak of his life.

Under the stimulation of King Chu Huai, the Chu people woke up to the dream of a great country. King Huai of Chu was greatly heartfelt, and he was determined to drink the Yellow River, destroy the princes of the Central Plains, and dominate the world. However, King Chu Huai was not confused, and the princes of the Central Plains were not so easy to bully. As a result, the strategy of uniting the Zhao State and attacking the princes of the Central Plains in the north and south was formed.

The strength of the Chu State naturally threatened the princes of the Central Plains. So, under the call of the State of Qi, the princes of the Central Plains on the big river elected King Xuan of Qi as the leader of the alliance in order to survive and seek strength.

As a result, Qi, Han, and Wei united and attacked Chu three times.

The state of Chu is moving towards strength, and if there is no new breakthrough, it is going in the opposite direction. King Huai of Chu challenged the princes of the Central Plains, and the result was a big defeat. However, what King Chu Huai did not expect was that the Qin State and the Chu State Huangthorn would form an alliance and conclude the Kundi Kingdom; Subsequently, Qin and Chu were held. As a result, the Qin State took advantage of the melee between Chu and Qi, Han, and Wei to blackmail the Chu State.

In order to alleviate the military pressure, King Huai of Chu was forced to send the prince of Chu to Qin as a hostage, in exchange for a brief peace.

On the pretext that the prince of Chu killed the doctor, the Qin state betrayed the alliance between the two countries and united the princes of the Central Plains to attack the Chu state.

King Huai of Chu was forced to wage war against the four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei with the strength of one country. It's a pity that the good fortune of the Chu State came to an end. Qi, Han, and Wei Zaizai were defeated by the state of Chu, killed the Chu general Tang Fu, and fought the undefeated lion on the battlefield, and the elite of Shenxi's army was lost. Tang Yu was killed in battle, some generals launched a rebellion, and some generals led their troops away. The state of Chu fell apart.

Seeing that the elite of Chu was in mourning, the Qin State took advantage of the fire to rob. First defeated the Chu general Jingcui in Chongqiu, then killed the Chu general Jing Que, and then defeated the Chu army and captured the five cities. Qin and Chu fought against each other, and Chu was defeated in all three battles.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin took the opportunity to join the alliance with Wuguan and invited the king of Chu.

Although the state of Chu was defeated, the elite was lost. But King Chu Huai still despised the Qin State and didn't even take the Qin people seriously.

In order to get rid of internal and external difficulties, in order to return to the former majesty, in order not to scrap the army and return to the territory occupied by the Qin State. Chu Huai did not listen to Qu Yuan and Zhao Ju, and embarked on the road to Qin.

King Qin Zhao detained King Chu Huai at Wuguan and imprisoned him in Zhangtai by fraud. It's a pity that King Chu Huai, who fought all his life, finally died in the Qin State, which is extremely compassionate.

So, according to the deeds of King Chu Huai, what kind of person is he?

King Chu Huai was also an ambitious monarch who broke new ground.

Why?

During the reign of King Chu Huai, he checked and balanced the three families of Qu, Zhao and Jing, and appointed Zhaoyang, Qu Yuan, Zhaoju, Chen Zhen and others to reform and renew. A few years after King Huai of Chu succeeded to the throne, he stabilized the internal affairs of Chu, sent troops to defeat the Wei State, and bloodied the shame of Jingshan imposed by the Wei people on the Chu people; Subsequently, he became the chief of the princes of the Central Plains, leading Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu, and sending letters to the valley;

In the name of Zhang Yi's deception of Chu, he attacked the Qin State. With the power of one country, challenge Qin, Han, Wei, Yue and Qin's subordinate Ba and Shu, without falling behind. Even the soldiers of the Chu State arrived in Lantian and brought the second crisis of the Qin people's demise;

A few years later, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, he broke through the great power of Yue and established Jiangdong County in one fell swoop. pushed the state of Chu to become strong, and even the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River became the internal river of the state of Chu. King Chu Huai even wanted to drink the Yellow River, step on the Central Plains, and dominate the world. These deeds are enough to show that King Chu Huai is an ambitious monarch.

At the same time, King Chu Huai is also a tragic hero.

In the first battle of Danyang, he was beheaded by Qin 80,000. This is the greatest national humiliation in the history of the Chu State.

The battle of Chuisha was defeated by Qi, Han, and Wei, resulting in the demise of Shenxi's division, Tang Mi was killed in battle, and the Chu State fell into disintegration.

In the Battle of Chuisha, the Qin State was defeated three times, which aggravated the turmoil of the situation in the Chu State.

King Chu Huai joined the Qin Alliance, and was detained by King Qin Zhaoxiang by fraud, imprisoned Zhangtai, and finally died in Qin, which is compassionate. No matter how coercive and tempting the Qin State was, King Chu Huai still maintained the unity of the territory, and even if he paid for his life, he was unwilling to give half an inch of territory to the Qin State. King Chu Huai's humanity was sublimated and amplified at this moment.

So, what can we learn from King Chu Huai?

First, we must not be blindly arrogant, let alone blindly confident, or even overly conceited and forgetful.

The second is to make friends, otherwise there will be no one to lend a helping hand when you are in trouble.

The third is to educate the next generation well, otherwise, not only will you be cheated by your son, but you will also be imprisoned by your son-in-law.

Fourth, we must have dreams to be a man, but to realize our dreams, we must be down-to-earth and cannot leapfrog.

Fifth, never underestimate an opponent who is weaker than you.

Sixth, be proud.
