2 The Third Central Plains War
During the Warring States period, there were three major wars in the Central Plains.
The First Central Plains War was during the reign of King Hui of Wei.
King Wei Hui was born in 400 BC --- 319 BC. He is the third monarch of Wei, the first king of Wei, and the first man to be crowned king by the princes of the Central Plains.
In 370 BC, the Marquis of Wei Wu died. At the beginning of King Wei Hui's succession, he was interfered with by Han and Zhao. The state of Wei almost fell into a situation where the east and the west were divided. After King Wei Hui succeeded to the throne, he selected talents and talents. Taking advantage of the good situation left by the two generations of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, the country was assisted by famous generals such as Gongshu Acne, Hui Shi, Bai Gui, and Pang Juan, and the national strength was strong.
In 354 BC, King Hui of Wei led the army to attack Zhao Korea with Pang Juan as his general.
The battle between Wei and Zhao eventually led to the First Central Plains War. In this Central Plains War, Zhao asked the princes for help, and the four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, and Chu sent troops to rescue Zhao. With the strength of one country, Wei fought against the five kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, Chu, and Zhao. The state of Wei was deeply trapped in the land of four wars, and war was waged against the princes on all sides at the same time. The State of Qi defeated Wei Wushu in Guiling, and the Qi general Tian Ji and the military advisor Sun Bin became famous, and the State of Qi became famous in the first battle and became a powerful country in the East. Handan of Zhao was lost and recovered, and Zhao Chenghou died depressed. Han and Chu defeated Wei in the land of Nanyang and sought to acquire part of the territory of Wei. The state of Qin was also in the land west of the river and launched a fierce attack on the state of Wei.
In the end, the state of Qi rose, the state of Chu recovered, the state of Qin gradually strengthened, the state of Zhao weakened, and the situation of the hegemony of Wei was broken by the princes.
The Second Central Plains War took place during the reign of King Hui of Qin.
King Hui of Qin was born in 350 BC --- 311 BC. He was the first king of the Qin State and the third man to be crowned king among the princes of the Central Plains.
In 338 B.C., Qin Xiaogong won the canal. King Qin Hui succeeded to the throne, beheaded the criminal minister Gongsun Ying, and then appointed Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi, Ying Ji, Sima Cuo and other famous generals. The Qin State collected the west of the river, swept the Yiqu, went out of the Han Valley in the east, attacked the Three Jins, and challenged the Qi State through Han Wei. With Sima Coo's attack on Ba and Shu, the contradictions between Qin and Chu were acute.
King Hui of Qin wanted to connect the Qin state itself with the lands of Ba, Shu and Tho. It is necessary to attack the state of Chu and seize the territory of Chu and Hanzhong. King Qin Hui entered Chu with Zhang Yi, lured the king of Chu with the land of Shangyu, and divided the alliance between Qi and Chu. Subsequently, the Battle of Danyang broke out between Qin and Chu.
Qin and Chu Danyang fought, and Qin killed 80,000 soldiers of Chu. Qin won a great victory.
Under the persecution of the ministers Qu Yuan and Zhaoyang, the king of Chu poured the troops of the whole country and re-attacked the Qin state. In the face of Chu's strong attack, Qin lost the city and lost land, and the Chu army invaded Qin's Lantian.
In order to alleviate the military pressure of Chu, Qin united Han and Wei to attack Chu.
In order to annex the Yan state and reduce the military pressure on the Chu state, the state of Qi was relieving. So, he united with the Song State and sent troops to besiege the Wei State.
With it, the combined forces of Qi and Song entered the war. The situation in the world formed a military alliance of Qin, Han, Wei, Yue and Qin's territories of Tho, Ba and Shu against the alliance of Qi, Chu and Song. In order to prevent Qi from annexing Yan, Zhao threatened its own security. The combined forces of Zhao and Yan fought against the combined forces of Qi, Zhongshan, and Yan (Taiziping).
Qin and Chu competed for hegemony, which eventually led to the Second Central Plains War.
In the Second Central Plains War, Qin and Chu were both defeated. On the edge of the Pushui of the Qi State, the princes were defeated miserably, and the swallowing of swallows was shattered. The kingdom of Yan was restored. King Wuling of Zhao gained a lot in the Second Central Plains War and began to emerge.
In the end, the world formed a situation of Eastern Qi, Western Qin, Southern Chu, Northern Zhao, and Central Wei, and the top five.
The Third Central Plains War took place during the reign of King Huai of Chu.
King Huai of Chu was born in 355 BC --- 296 years in the park. In 328 BC, King Chu Huai succeeded to the throne and was given a great gift by King Wei Hui. The state of Chu was robbed of eight cities by the state of Wei, and the state of Chu became the shame of Jingshan.
Subsequently, King Chu Huai attacked Xiangcheng of Wei, and was disgraced and shocked the princes.
King Wei Xiang succeeded to the throne and elected King Chu Huai as the chief of the alliance. Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu sent a letter to Gu to attack Qin. The name of Chu is the best in the world.
In 306 BC, King Huai of Chu took Zhaoju as his general to attack the Yue Kingdom to the east and establish Jiangdong County. The state of Chu became a supergiant on the river, and the princes on the entire river were eyeing it. King Chu Huai woke up from his dream of a great power, and suddenly his confidence was greatly increased, and he united with Zhao to unite the north and south to attack the princes of the Central Plains and divide the world equally.
In order to survive, the princes of the Central Plains supported Qi as the leader of the alliance. The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei united and attacked Chu for the first time.
As King Wuling of Zhao raised nearly 300,000 troops to attack Zhongshan, Zhongshan lost two-thirds of its territory. In order to suppress Zhao, the first attack on Chu by Qi, Han, and Wei came to an end.
Qin's civil strife ended, and Qin Wangji succeeded to the throne. Qin and Chu married and became the country of Kundi. Subsequently, Qin and Chu met in Huangthorn. On the grounds that Chu betrayed the alliance, Qi united with Han Wei to attack Chu for the second time.
The division of the state of Chu is defeated by the division of the Qi country. So, the prince was sent to the Qin State as a hostage. Qin sent troops to attack Han and Wei, returned Korean territory, and held an alliance in Linjin. The alliance of Qi, Han, and Wei to attack Qin and Chu came to an end.
However, the brief peace was broken when the Prince of Chu killed Doctor Qin.
In order to ask for an explanation from the state of Chu, the state of Qin went to war with the state of Chu. When King Xuan of Qi was dying, he wanted to lead the Qi State to a strong and prosperous state, and united Han and Wei to attack the Chu State for the third time. The states of Chu and Qin fought at Chongqiu, and the states of Chu and Qi, Han and Wei fought at Chuisha. King Wuling of Zhao took the opportunity to make a northern expedition to Zhongshan, and the king of Zhongshan died.
The power of Chu was a single country, and the four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei were opposed, and the Third Central Plains War officially began.
In the Third Central Plains War, Chu was defeated by Qi, Han, and Wei, Chongqiu was defeated by Qin, Chu rebelled, and Chu was torn apart. King Chu Huai also began a tragic life, and finally died in a foreign land. King Wuling of Zhao carried out Hufu cavalry shooting, conquered Zhongshan, defeated the Sanhu coalition army to the north, and established Yunzhong and Yanmen. In this battle, the state of Chu went into decline, the state of Qin recovered, the state of Zhao began to rise, and the king of Yan Zhao began to open up the land of Hu and plot against the state of Qi.
