In 321 B.C., Ji Bianyong, the son of heaven in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Ji Bian is the son of Ji Jiao, the king of Zhou'an, the younger brother of Ji Xi, the king of Zhoulie, and reigned for 48 years. His son, Ji Ding, succeeded to the throne and honored Ji Bian as the Holy King of Zhou Xian. During the reign of King Ji Bian of Zhou Xiansheng, the vassal states set off a wave of law changes.

First of all, Qi Guo Qi Hou Tian Yinqi, good at admonishing and using energy, inspirational and strong, in view of the disadvantages of the dictatorship of the secretary and the lack of national strength, appointed Zou Ji as the prime minister, Tian Ji as the general, Sun Bin as the military advisor, carried out political reform, repaired the legal system, selected and appointed, rewarded and punished clearly, and the national strength became stronger. Later, the Qi State besieged Wei to save Zhao, besieged Wei to save Han, Guilin and Maling fought two battles, defeated the Wei army, and dominated the princes.

The state of Qi followed the example of the state of Wei, and in 344 BC, Xuzhou was proclaimed king and implemented the royal road.

Wu Qi of Wei led tens of thousands of Wei soldiers to the west to attack Qin. Qin Xiangong led hundreds of thousands of people to meet the battle. Wei won a great victory, occupying 800 li west of the Qin River, forcing Qin to move its capital. Qin Xiangong, his son Qin Xiaogong Yingqu Liang succeeded to the throne to Weiren Gongsun Ying, rectify the discipline, while developing national strength, while recuperating and standby. Qin Gongyingsi used the foundation laid by his father's reform, worked hard, went out of Hangu in the east, broke the Sanjin, and pressed Chu in the south.

In 325 BC, the state of Qin followed the example of the princes of Shandong and began to claim the title of king and practice the royal way.

Han Zhaohou saw that the Qi and Qin states became powerful after reform. In 351 B.C., Zheng Guoren Shen Bu was appointed as the prime minister, and the law was changed, which made Korea strong for a time. In the end of Shenzi's life, there is no one who invades the Korean border.

In 323 BC, the Qin state wanted to dominate the Central Plains and invited Qi and Chu to join the alliance and divide the world equally. Sun Yan, the Duke of Wei, invited the five prime ministers of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and Zhongshan. In the territory of Ji Zhou, Zhou Tianzi, Wei Qi, Qin Yan, Zhao Han, Zhongshan and the king of Yue in the east, the king of Chu in the south, and the ten kings were tied. Although King Zhou Xian wanted to support Sheji, the princes were powerful, and he was also powerless. What he can do is to keep the status of Ji Zhou Tianzi and realize the false name of the co-master of the world.

In order to preserve the status of the Son of Heaven, King Zhou Xian chose to use the princes to control the princes. In the same year, the 37th monarch of the Yan Kingdom, Yan Wangyong, succeeded to the throne by his son Ji Xu, and honored the first generation of Yan Wang as King Yi.

In 320 B.C., Tian Qi, the fourth generation of the monarch of Qi Qi, reigned for 36 years. Tian Yinqi's main achievements were reform and self-improvement, self-reliance, breaking Wei and becoming the first of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. His son Tian Bibi succeeded to the throne and honored Tian Yinqi, the king of Qi, as the king of Wei.

In 319 BC, Wei Poppy, the third monarch of Wei, came to the end of his life and reigned for 50 years. Throughout his life, Wei Poppy was accompanied by scenery and humiliation. His son Wei inherited the throne and honored the king of Wei to benefit the king.

King Ji Bian of Zhou, King Yan Yi, King Tian of Qi Wei, and King Poop of Wei Hui broke the balance of the princes.

When the old king of Wei, Wei Poppy, died and disappeared, it spread to Xianyang, Qin State. Qin Wangsi smiled like a wolf. He had waited for this day for seventeen years. Now, the monarchs of Zhou Tianzi, Qi, Wei and Yan have changed their blood, and the souls of the old generation of monarchs have returned to dust.

Ying Jian saw through King Qin's mind and asked, "The king wants to use Wei Han to compete with the Eastern Qi Kingdom. ”

"That's what the widow wants." Qin Wangsi smiled and said: "Didn't the Qi State say that my Qin State is not worthy of sharing the world with it, so the widow will fight with him for the world." ”

Ying Jian lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and replied: "The Eastern Qi Kingdom is strong, and its strength is unfathomable. It is not wise for us to take the liberty of using Han Wei to compete with the Qi State. The stakes are high, and I beg the king to think twice. ”

Ying Si's eyes were unpleasant and said: "The Eastern Qi Kingdom is strong, how strong is it." You and I don't know. Zuo Shuchang! Is Qi strong and Qin weak? Qi and Qin will win which is stronger, and it will be clear if they compete. The widow wanted to fight with the Qi country, and his heart was full of blood. Don't you want to see who is better than the strength of my Qin State and the Qi State. ”

"As a general, I naturally hope that the opponent will be stronger." Ying Jian felt itching in his heart, and his eyes showed yearning, "The Wei Wushu phalanx has become a thing of the past. The State of Wei was also bullied by the State of Qin, and there was no way to parry. The competitive divisions of Qi are all strong generals and elite soldiers, and they can defeat five with one. I also want to see if the competitive division of the Qi country is powerful, or the great Qin sharp eagle is powerful. Is it the sharpness of the sword of the Qi State, or the invincibility of the sword of the Qin State. ”

Ying Si clapped her hands high-five, "The widow also wants to see it." ”

"Your Majesty." Win thought for a moment, and muttered: "The Qin State and the Qi State have a battle. If it wins, Qin will be a first-class power. If you lose..."

Ying Si said indifferently: "This time it is a tentative attack on Qi State. The purpose is to see how much strength the Qi State has hidden. Find out how big the gap is between Qin and Qi. In the future, there will be a battle between Qin and Qi, and this battle can be regarded as collecting information and accumulating experience. ”

"The king has made up his mind, and I have nothing to say." Ying Ji smiled and said, "I'm afraid the king is not just to test the Qi country!" ”

"You! I can always see through the mind of the widow. Ying Si smiled meaningfully, "Zhang Yi is the minister of Wei, and the state of Wei ostensibly falls to the state of Qin. We borrowed the way from Wei to compete with Qi State, and guess what reaction Wei State would have. ”

"The king is wise." "We can use the Wei State to compete with the Qi State, and we can test the attitude of the Wei prince's heir towards our country." Second, you can also beat Zhang Yi. He has been a prime minister in Wei for several years, and I don't know if his heart is now towards Wei or Qin. ”

"The widow plans to use Yinghua as a general and lead my 30,000 soldiers of Great Qin to compete with the Qi State. 30,000 people is enough to test the essence of the Qi country. Ying Si deliberately stopped, exhaled, and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

Ying Jian smiled: "Yinghua can fight well, and I am a good boy with the surname Zhao." Let him lead the Great Qin soldiers to fight with the Qi State, I have no opinion. ”

"Zuo Shuchang, the Qin State and the Qi State are fighting, you estimate, who loses and who wins."

"The strength of the Qi State is stronger than the Qin State, and we will lose this battle."

"Go on."

"First, we are on the territory of Qi and are at war with it, and the soldiers of the Qi army will naturally fight hard. Second, King Qi Wei changed twice, and the country of Qi was vast, rich in people, rich in resources, and many good generals. Third, we are on an expedition, and the rear is empty. When Han and Wei saw that our army was defeated, they would also fight back. ”

"You see our weaknesses, but you ignore our strengths." Ying Si took a few steps forward, "First, although our army is a labor expedition, it is vigorous. Second, although there are many generals in Qi Guoliang, they have high merits, and they are not satisfied with the new monarch Tian Piyi. Third, Tian Biqi is a vertical son and lacks courage and courage. Fourth, our army arrived at the border between Wei and Han and kept an eye on the dynamics on the battlefield. If Han Wei plays tricks and cuts off the way back for our army, we will start a war with it. ”

"The king's words are very true." Ying Jian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange the soldiers who will go on the expedition." ”

Ying Si waved his sleeves and killed decisively, "Go!" ”

East out of the Han Valley, fighting for hegemony is the long-cherished wish of Yingsi's life.

Qin sent an envoy to deliver the credentials to Wei. The Qin envoy did not go directly to see the king of Wei, but met with Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Wei. Zhang Yi looked at the letter of the State of Qin and frowned secretly, "King Qin really plans to fight with the State of Qi to fight for the world. ”

"The king is full of faith, and it is imperative to do it."

"It's too risky." Zhang Yi felt that the national letter in his hand was very heavy.

The state of Qin went to war with the state of Qi, and if it won, it could deter the princes. Defeated, the myth of the invincibility of the Qin army was shattered. The Three Jins, Chu and Xirong all had territorial rivalries with the Qin state. As soon as Qin was defeated, the enemy countries would unite and fight together. The good situation that the Qin State has managed to build down will be wasted. Zhang Yi couldn't understand how King Qin and Zuo Shu were smart people, how could they make such a choice.

The enemy of the Qin State was not the Qi State, but the Three Jin Dynasty. The Jin State suppressed the Qin State for hundreds of years, and the Wei State also suppressed the Qin State for a hundred years. After several generations of efforts, the Qin State took over Hexi, occupied the danger of Hangu, and the solidity of Yaoshan, and was expected to go east to the Central Plains. Once Qin Qi went to war, Qin was defeated, and the situation was not optimistic. Seeing that Zhang Yi was covered with gloomy clouds, the Qin envoy asked timidly: "Zhang Xiang, what's wrong with this national letter." ”

"Qi is a big country in the east of the world, and Qin's national strength is not as good as Qi's. Once the Qin State and the Qi State went to war, the Qin State had a few percent chance of victory. ”

Qin envoy said: "At least fifty percent." ”

"Ambassador, you're too optimistic." Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Qi Wang Tian is because of Qi Yong, and his son Tian Bibi succeeds to the throne. Although the veteran of the battlefield with outstanding achievements in the Qi State was dissatisfied with the new monarch. In the face of national difficulties, they will put aside their prejudices and work together to go to the national crisis. Qi Wang Tian Biqi also wanted a big victory to consolidate his prestige. Once the war starts, the King of Qi will win no matter what the price pays. The Qi State occupies the time, place, and people, and the probability of victory for the Qin State is less than one percent. ”

The Qin envoy disagreed, "The Great Qin Rui is invincible, invincible, invincible, and the elite Wei warriors of the Wei State have also been defeated by us." The Qin State was repeatedly defeated by the Three Jins, suppressed the Chu State, and swept the barbarians to the west. Qin Jian is extremely sharp, who dares to compete with it. ”

"Qi will be a true opponent of Qin. We lost, and the Qin State was in danger. Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, and Wu Qi defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops with tens of thousands of elite Wei soldiers, forcing Qin to move its capital. Qin Xiangong, a generation of male lords, also died in battle.

Through the efforts of two generations of Qin Xiaogong Yingquliang and Qin Wang Yingsi, Qin's national strength has increased a lot. In the two battles of Guilin and Maling, the elite of Wei Wushu were all killed by the hands of the Qi State, and the famous Wei general Pang Juan was killed.

Qin Guodong fought the first battle of Diaoyin, and it was quite difficult to fight with Wei Wushu, a miscellaneous brand of Wei State. In that battle, the Qin army fought the enemy dozens of times before it won the victory, and it was a tragic victory. How can we forget these tragic histories. Qin recovered Hexi, if it were not for other vassal states to contain Wei's forces. The Qin State, in a battle with one, is also afraid that it will lose very badly.

Wei Wu was completely lost, and the five kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Qin, Zhao, and Han could not help the territory of Wei. It is enough to see that Wei Wushu is the elite of the world. After two generations of hard work, the Qin State competed with the Wei State, and it was also high and low. The competitive division of the Qi State is an army polished on the battlefield. The Qin State will meet a real opponent this time.

The Qin envoy asked, "Zhang Xiang, you are planning to write a letter of sealing the state to clarify the benefits and disadvantages, and let me bring it back to the Qin country." When I came to Wei, the army was ready to go. Is it too late for me to go back and give this letter to the king? ”

Zhang Yi unfolded the bamboo slips and wrote hard. Qin Envoy's words reminded him. Zhang Yi put down the pen in his hand, shook his head and said, "It will take a few days for the ambassador to go back day and night. It's too late. ”

The Qin envoy said hurriedly: "We are watching the Great Qin soldiers fall into a dangerous situation and do nothing. ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while and replied, "The only way to unite Han and Wei is to deal with Qi together." Combine the power of the three kingdoms to deal with the Qi country. ”

Zhang Yi took the Qin envoy into the Daliang Palace and met the heir of the King of Wei.

Wei Si looked at Qin's credentials, put them aside, and asked, "Ambassador, when did you come to Wei?" ”

The Qin envoy relied on the strong force of the Qin State, and did not take the heir of the King of Wei in his eyes, nor did he answer, but replied with a somewhat arrogant attitude: "The King of Qin wants to borrow from your country to crusade against the Qi State. King Wei, do you borrow or not. ”

Wei Si was unhappy when he heard this, and the Qin State had bullied the Wei State for a long time, and even the little envoy was arrogant and rude.

Zhang Yi saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State and our country are on good terms. The peace between Qin and Wei was not easy to come by, and the minister thought that we could not refuse the request of the king of Qin. ”

Others also chimed in: "Your Majesty, the ministers also agree with Zhang Xiang's proposal. If we don't agree to Qin's request, Qin will send troops against us. ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Peace between the two countries was not easy to come by, and we cannot refuse Qin's request. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

When Wei Si saw the ministers in the palace and heard the words Qin Guo, his face changed greatly, and his heart was full of contempt. Qin State, there is so terrible. Wei Si saw that the military generals in the palace were all afraid of the obscenity of the Qin State, and agreed to borrow the Tao, and he was disappointed in his heart. He thought? It would be nice if the rhino head and Hui Shi were there.

Zhang Yi couldn't see the thoughts of the heir of King Wei, and he was not in a hurry to speak, so he secretly glanced at his cronies.

"Your Majesty, please make a quick decision."

The corner of Wei Si's eyes moved, these people dared to persecute him. But he understands that now is not the time to tear his face with the Qin State. Since Qin wanted to attack Qi by way, Wei State would lend him way. Wei suffered a lot from Qi State, and also asked Qin State to try the strength of Qi people's competitive division. Once the Qin State planted a fight, the Wei State could have its own right to speak.

Seeing that King Wei had not made a decision for a long time, the Qin envoy forced: "Has King Wei thought about it?" ”

Wei Si deliberately showed a weak look, "Although Zhang Xiang is my Wei Chen, his heart is towards the Qin State. Zhang Xiang also thinks that my country should borrow the way, and the widow has nothing to say. ”

The Qin envoy was overjoyed when he heard this, and handed Zhang Yi a happy look.

Zhang Yi thought that this matter would take some time, but he didn't expect Wei Si to agree so happily. Zhang Yi sighed in his heart: "Compared with it, the old King Wei is much more cunning. It's also much harder to deal with. The vertical is not a climate, and it is not enough to deter the Qin State. ”

Zhang Yi came to Wei and drove away Gongsun Yan with Yu Wei of Qin, forcing Hui Shi to leave the country. Zhang Yi was the prime minister, harming the interests of Wei everywhere, formulating national policies and leaning towards Qin, and Wei Chen was also pro-Qin to gain the upper hand. Zhang Yi wanted to provoke the battle of the Three Jins, and the Qin State reaped the benefits. Wei Poppy saw through his trick and deliberately pretended to be confused and closed the palace.

Zhang Yi wanted to secretly sabotage the marriage between Han and Zhao. Wei Poppy instructed Wei Si to exude goodwill to the two countries and evacuate all the soldiers on the border between Han and Zhao. As an ambassador, Wei Si went to Handan, Zhao State, to congratulate King Zhao on his new marriage. Zhang Yi didn't know that Wei Si's trip, the meeting of Sanjin and Longtai, had eliminated the gap, worked together, and reached an alliance.

Zhang Yi continued to exert pressure, "Your Majesty, the Qin army has entered the Wei land. Do we provide them with food and grass? ”

Wei Si smiled: "It should be." Zhang Xiang, the widow has handed over this matter to you. ”

Korea also received a letter of state from Qin to borrow the Tao.

Han Wangkang summoned Han Xiang, Gongsun Yan and Taizicang to clarify his opinions on the matter of borrowing the Tao. Han Cang thought that the matter of borrowing the Tao was small, and the humiliation of the country was big. In the name of borrowing the road, the Qin State tested the bottom line of South Korea, and this road cannot be borrowed.

Han Xiang also supported the prince's opinion.

Qin Guo deceived people too much, and Han Wangkang didn't want to show weakness by using the road. However, Gongsun Yan sat quietly and did not say a word. Seeing this, Han Wangkang felt very strange, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Rhino Head, what do you think?" ”

Han Cang and Han Xiang's eyes also looked at Gongsun Yan's seat.

Gongsun Yan's expression was relaxed, and he said unhurriedly: "Borrow." ”

Han Cang asked, "Rhino Head, when we borrow the Tao to the Qin State, we are showing weakness to Qin. This road cannot be borrowed. ”

Gongsun Yan raised his voice and said: "Qi is a powerful country in the world. The Qin State has always thought that there is no opponent in the world, so let the Qi State teach it a lesson. Otherwise, the Qin State will think that there is no one in the vassal states? ”

Han Wangkang thought about it, South Korea couldn't win against Qin. Why wouldn't it be a pleasure to let Qi teach Qin a lesson.

Han Wangkang asked: "Rhino head, in the first battle of Diaoyin back then, I don't know who is stronger in the combat power of the Qin State or the Wei State." ”

"Wei Wushu swept through the princes and countries, and the princes can see what their combat power is." Gongsun Yan recalled the scene of the first battlefield of the Qin State in the east, "The elite of Wei Wushu defeated the Qi State twice, and the famous general Pang Juan died. Wei Wushu in Hexi and Shangjun was just old, weak, sick and disabled. In the first battle of Hexi that year, the Wei veteran general Long Jia led the old, weak, sick and disabled troops of Hexi and Shangjun to fight with more than 200,000 elites of the Qin State. Nearly 50,000 people were beheaded in Wei, and more than 50,000 were lost in Qin. In that battle, although the Wei State was defeated, the old general Long Jia played the prestige of the Wei State. If you talk about combat power, the Ruishi of Qin and the Wei Wushu of Wei are inseparable. ”

Han Wangkang said with a smile: "In this way, the competitive division of the Qi State is enough to be the opponent of the Qin State. ”

"Qin State, I met Qi State." Gongsun Yan raised his voice and said: "The eagle warriors of the Qin State, the competitive division of the Qi State, a contest for hegemony of the great powers, it is really exciting. ”
