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
