Chapter 25 The Three Families Divide and Advance

That's all for Spring and Autumn

Next, write about the story of the Warring States period

It is generally said that the Warring States period began in 475 BC

Until the end of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries

Everyone is familiar with the Seven Heroes of the Warring States

Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei Qin

These countries are all inherited from the Spring and Autumn period

The state of Qi has the overlord Qi Huangong

The state of Chu has the king of Chuzhuang

Yan Guo also had the case of being bullied and asking for help from Qi Huan

The Qin State has the story of Qin Mugong

Han Zhao Wei of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period

I don't seem to have shown my face much

And after the famous Jin Wengong

The Jin Kingdom, which has been strong for a hundred years

There was no trace of him again

Next

I'll tell you about it

The story of the division of the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han

Whether people want it or not

It doesn't matter if it's happy or sad

Time always moves forward

The monarch of the Jin Kingdom at this time was the Duke of Jin

At this time, the Jin Kingdom was no longer what it used to be

It's a bit of a miniature version of the Zhou Dynasty

The monarch is out of the realm of public control

It's not much

The entire country is controlled by six families

respectively

Zhi's Fan's Zhongxing's

Han's, Zhao's, Wei's

The military and political power of the whole country

It completely fell into the hands of the six brothers

Saying goes

in front of the interests of brothers

Shoot when it's time to strike

What's more, the six of them are just making do with each other

I didn't even bow down

Open and secret battles cannot be avoided

455 BC

The Zhi clan united the Zhao clan with the Wei clan and the Han clan

Destroyed the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan

divided their property

robbed their wives

Hit their baby

Since then

The Jin Kingdom became the power of the four families

The difference between these four families is that they are carrying the handle

Zhibo, Zhao Xiangzi, Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi

To say that this Jin out of the public

It's really not a wreck

After all, the blood of the overlord Jin Wengong flows on his body

A few of you nobles

Fighting for power

I don't think of me as a bean at all

How can this work

I'm going to give it a go

The Duke of Jin secretly borrowed troops from the vassal states

I want to weaken the power of these families

Recreate the glory of your ancestors

But Zhibo had long been prepared for the promotion of public ownership

Jin out of the public one action

An inner ghost told Zhibo

This time, it's good

Zhibo contacted three others

justifiably abolished the Jin out of the public

Establish a new king

It is Jin Aigong

From now on

Zhibo took Jin Aigong under his control

Become the strongest of the four

Here's a brief introduction to this Zhibo

Zhibo Mingyao

He is the son of Zhixuanzi

At the beginning, Zhixuanzi wanted to set up Zhibo as his heir

Some of the people in the clan disagreed

The reason is simple

The Zhibo people are tall and burly

Dignified

Clever and clever

Eloquence

But

Virtue is not good

Do things unscrupulously and don't say anything

and bullies

Often for a momentary pleasure

Regardless of the feelings of others

Such people

Sooner or later, it will be a family disaster

But

Ji Xuanzi didn't heed the advice

Or passed the position to Zhibo

Let's go back to the proud Zhibo of the spring breeze

The monarch is his own puppet

The turf is its own maximum

But

These are not enough for me

My goal is not just to glorify the ancestors

I'm going to keep up the good work

Become the king of a country

The opponent in front of him is the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei

It's definitely not going to work

We're smart people

How can you use brute force?

The puppet of the monarch

Still use a drop

Zhibo sent a letter to the three families

Now

The monarch of the Jin State is weak and the minister is strong

This is against the ethics of the ministers

For the construction and development of the country

I, Zhibo, decided to take out 100 miles of land

Return to the monarch

For yes

Increase national revenue

Strengthening defense capabilities

I hope the same will happen to the three of you

Take out 100 li each

Dedicated to the country

someday

The country is strong

Revive the hegemony of yesteryear

Our merits are immeasurable

The first person to receive the letter was Han Kangzi

After Han Kangzi received the letter

His face turned red all at once

Certainly not refreshed

It's angry

You Zhibo is pulling tiger skin to make a big account

Under the guise of a king

What gives the land to the king

Not yet for you

I don't give

Strategist Duan Gui spoke

I can't help it

Zhibo is a person

We all get it

Always greedy and vicious

Narrow-mindedness

If you don't give it to him

He will certainly take the name of our dishonorable king

Come and ask us

Where are we his opponents

Han Kangzi listened

All of a sudden, his face turned white again

This is not a cold antifreeze coated with white wax

It's scary

that

that

Then I will give him the land for nothing

I'm too scumbag

Don't be in a hurry, host

Listen to me analyze slowly

Zhibo got our land

Will definitely reach out to the other two

If only one of them would not listen

Zhibo will inevitably send troops to attack

When the time comes, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight

The land was given to Zhibo temporarily

We'll be able to get it back later

Han Kangzi thought for a moment

There is no better way

gave Zhibo 100 miles

Let's talk about Wei Hengzi

Ransom letters were also received

Reflexively popped up an attitude

Why

Why give it to you

Why should I give you something

Strategist Ren Zhang saw that the master's facial expression was so rich

The corners of the mouth twitch

The brow shuddered

master

What your attitude

What kind of attitude can I have?

I don't want to give it

Why not give

It's such a famous hall for no reason

It's 100 miles

If it were you

Do you give

Ren Zhang cleared his throat

I think it should be given

Master don't hit me with a teacup

It's not too late to throw it away after listening to me

Zhibo asked you for land for no reason

I'm sure I'll ask for the other two as well

Everyone will give it to him out of fear

Zhibo will surely despise us

Of course

Making him despise is not the goal

The idea is that he will feel that we are not a threat to him

will underestimate the enemy

Good

You just put down the teacup

I continued

After Zhibo's arrogance and underestimation of the enemy

Those of us who are bullied will naturally come together

That's when we can easily defeat him

These fields that we sent out

It will be doubled back

Good

Wei Hengzi also sent out 100 miles

The third person to receive the ransom letter was Zhao Xiangzi

Zhao Xiangzi is crisp and neat

Get lost

Get lost

Get lost

How far to roll how far

Of course

There is a reason why Zhao Xiangzi scolds

We have to start with what happened many years ago

In that year, Zhibo led an army to attack Zheng Guo

Zhao Xiangzi was still the prince of the Zhao family at that time

Family honor, too

Whatever

He also went out with the army

When the gate of Zheng Guo's capital was about to be breached

Zhibo ordered Zhao Xiangzi to enter the city first

Be a sapper

Minesweeping

Zhao Xiangzi is not stupid

I'm not going

You like

You go in first

Zhibo saw that he was disobedient

A little annoyed

pointed at Zhao Xiangzi with a horsewhip and scolded

You say you're that ugly

If you don't be brave

What qualifications do you have to be a prince?

At that time, Zhao Xiangzi's strength was not good

Endured the insult

Today, he has become the head of the family

Zhibo wants land

Of course, I have to take the opportunity to scold back

Zhibo took over the land of the Han and Wei families

is planning the next step in what name

Then get some land or souvenirs or something

The Messenger is back

Zhao Xiangzi not only did not give land

I also scolded

Zhibo really didn't expect it

This ugly and cowardly Zhao Xiangzi

Such a bold man

It's really a toast and don't eat and drink

Gather the soldiers at once

Inform Han Wei Erjia

Jin Jun has an order

Zhao Xiangzi disobeyed the monarch's orders

Refusing to hand over the fields

He also insulted the envoy of the monarch

Send troops to conscript them

Han Wei's family saw that things had come to this point

You can only take one step at a time

The three soldiers are in one

He slaughtered the Zhao family

Although Zhao Xiangzi has backbone

But I won't be stupid

Three coalition forces came to fight themselves

I'm still looking for an insurance place

Let's save our lives first

So Zhao Jiajun retreated to Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi)

This place in Jinyang

It is the base of the Zhao family

Generations have been operating here

The city here is fortified

Food is plentiful

What's more

The people of this place pay very little taxes

Life is more moist

The hearts of the people are very towards the Zhao family

It can be said to be the fortress of the Zhao family's spiritual and material double insurance

Zhao Xiangzi arrived in Jinyang

Inspect the city

It doesn't feel right

There was a lack of necessities to defend the city

bow and arrow

There are no more bows and arrows

By food and flesh and blood

It is very difficult to stop the coalition forces from attacking the city

Zhao Xiangzi hurriedly asked his subordinates to discuss countermeasures

A minister named Zhang Mengtan spoke

Don't worry, lord

The ancestors of the Zhao family were repairing the city

Plan ahead

Prepared for future generations

Many of the city's pillars are made of fine brass

A lot of reeds and wattles are built in the palace walls

We dismantled the pillars to create arrows

Turn out the palace wall and make the bow shaft with reeds and wattles

It can ensure that Jinyang City is peaceful and worry-free

Zhao Xiangzi was overjoyed

Thank you so much to your ancestors

Ordered immediately

According to the instructions of the ancestors

Craft bows and arrows overnight

When the three coalition forces arrived

The Zhao family is ready to meet the enemy

As soon as the coalition arrived

The siege of Jinyang City is impassable

The three soldiers took turns to fight

Attack Jinyang City

To say that this ancestor of the Zhao family is really thoughtful

The city is strong

The people's hearts are cultivated neatly

Food stocks are abundant

He also prepared all the guys who fought for his children and grandchildren

Three months

The coalition forces failed to attack Jinyang City for half a step

Zhibo saw that Jinyang City could not be attacked for a long time

I'm in a bit of a hurry

On this day, he led his retinue up a nearby high mountain

Go check out the terrain

I want to find a new breakthrough in Jinyang

I saw a stream of Jin water flowing from a distance

It took a turn outside Jinyang City and flowed into the distance

Zhibo has a great idea

This time, with the help of water potential

Take Jinyang City

Zhibo recruited the Han and Wei families

I've got an idea to break the city

Together, we cast a barrage dam on top of Jinshui

Wait until the water potential is sufficient

Just release the water to collapse Jinyang City

At that time, we will be able to divide the land of the Zhao family equally among the three families

Han and Wei agreed in unison

Soon the dam was built

It coincides with the rainy season

Water is plentiful

Zhibo ordered

Make a difference

Aimed at Jinyang City

The flood soon poured into Jinyang City

Many houses were washed away

The grain was soaked in water

Eating and sleeping became a problem

A lot of people are sick

Seeing that Jinyang City is about to be unable to hold it

Zhao Xiangzi convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures

It was Zhang Mengtan who got the idea

I think the Han and Wei families were also forced to come

Their faces and hearts are at odds

Let me go out of town and talk to the two of them

Strive to unite them and withdraw the Zhijia army

It's a really unconvincing solution

But no one else can do it better

Zhao Xiangzi asked Zhang Mengtan to go out and give it a try

That night

Under the cover of several ropes

A dark shadow slipped out of Jinyang City

Zhang Mengtan made persistent efforts

I touched the Han Wei military camp

After a few rhetorics

Meet Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi

Two adults

Jinyang City can't hold it

The Zhao family is also going to be finished

The two know Zhibo's personality well

Zhao's today

It's the tomorrow of the two of you

Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi gave each other a look

They nodded to each other

It turned out that something happened the other day

Zhibo asked Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi to check the water potential together

Smug flaunting

I used to read military books

It is only known that water as a moat protects the city

I didn't expect that water could also be a million male soldiers

Destroy a city

This reminded the two

It turned out that there was a large river near the capital of the Han and Wei clans

Zhibo has experience in beating the Zhao family

Wouldn't it be easy to destroy them later?

The two returned to the tent and discussed for a long time

They all want to get rid of the Ji clan as soon as possible

lest their own people feed fish and shrimp

Today, Zhang Mengtan came to meet the Han and Wei families

The three hit it off

Decided to join forces against Zhibo

A few days later, in the evening

Zhibo was sleeping soundly in the barracks

In the dream, I saw Han Zhaowei and Jin Jun kneeling in front of their tent

Wearing a crown on his head, he smiled and nodded to his ministers

I can't help but feel a little fluttery

Get carried away

Wrong

How did I really float up?

Open your eyes

There was already a great flood in the tents

Outside the tent, there was also a crying father and a mother

It turned out that the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei had reopened the dam

Straight to the Zhijia barracks

The Zhijia army is full of meat and vegetables

The three coalition forces took the opportunity to rush in

Zhibo saw that something was wrong

Hurriedly escaped from the camp

Found a raft

With the dog planing style he had learned as a teenager, he fled to the river

To say that Zhibo is indeed a good brain

I thought about my way before I went ashore

I want to go to Qin to borrow troops

Then find these three immoral ghosts to settle accounts

I just got out of the water

was pressed to the shore by Zhao Xiangzi's soldiers

Capture the camp

Zhao Xiangzi was not polite when he saw Zhibo

Announce the order of Jin Aigong in public

Zhibo deceived the king

Unauthorized use of troops

Immediately beheaded

In this way, the three families of Han, Wei and Zhao jointly destroyed the Zhi family

Divided the land of the Zhi family

437 BC

Jin Aigong died

The crown prince succeeded to the throne

It is for Jin Yougong

Han Wei and Zhao discussed the three of them

Come on

Let's just divide the rest of the land in the Jin Kingdom

This time it's good

Only a little bit of land was left for Jin Yougong

The Jin Kingdom has completely become the world of the three families

By 403 BC

The leaders of the three families have changed hands

They are Zhao, Weis, Han Qian

The three families asked Zhou Tianzi for instructions

Ask to make yourself a prince

There is a titular Zhou Tianzi

made a favor

Feng Sanjia became princes

The Jin Kingdom no longer exists

from now on

Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei Qin

On the land of China

It was a lot of artillery fire

Not open
