It can be seen from the part of the records about Su Qin in the "Warring States Zonghengjia Book" that the Zonghengjia themselves chose to merge vertically or connect horizontally, and there was no corresponding target at the beginning.

Because Su Qin was rejected as soon as he entered the Qin State, his thinking had already shifted from Lianheng to Chenghe.

The situation of Gongsun Yan is similar.

And Gongsun Yan and Su Qin left the Qin State one after another and turned into a constitutive family, in fact, it was not only Zhang Yi who excluded them, but another celebrity of the Zongheng family could also say a lot of strength.

And this person is Chen Zhen.

......

Chen Zhen, a longitudinal and horizontal family during the Warring States Period. Many idioms come from him, such as painting a snake and adding feet, Bian Zhuang stabbing a tiger.

Chen Zhen relied on the advantage of his tongue to repel the army of Chu for the Qi State. Even Zhang Yi wanted to frame him, but he skillfully used storytelling to resolve it. Even the powerful King of Qin often listened to his ideas, and even defeated the enemy country because of it.

In Zonghengjia's book "Warring States Policy", there are many records about Chen Zhen:

"Warring States Policy: Qi Ce II": The state of Chu attacked Wei, and the general Zhaoyang broke through eight cities in a row, and then attacked the state of Qi. The soldiers of the State of Chu were in the direction of the front, and Wei Qi was defeated. Chen Zhen was an envoy to the king of Qi and went to meet Zhaoyang. The intention is obvious, hoping that the other side will withdraw its troops. Let a general who is in sight of victory retreat, in the case of such a huge disparity between the enemy and us, it can be described as a fantasy. However, Chen Zhen not only went, but also really let Zhaoyang retreat.

He just told Zhaoyang a story, the story of "painting snakes and adding feet":

In ancient times, there was a family in Chu State, and after sacrificing to their ancestors, they prepared to give a pot of wine used in the sacrifice to the people who helped to do things. There are a lot of people who participate, and this pot of wine is not enough if everyone drinks it, but if one person drinks it, it can be more than enough. How do you divide this pot of wine?

Everyone fell silent, and then someone suggested: everyone should draw a snake on the ground, and whoever draws quickly and well.

And he gave him the jug of wine. Everyone thinks this is a good way to do it, and everyone agrees to do it. So he drew a serpent on the ground.

There was a man who drew very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he was the first to draw, and he picked up the flask to drink. But when he looked back at others, he still hadn't finished drawing. I thought to myself: they draw so slowly. Wanting to show his skills, he said triumphantly, "You are so slow to draw, and it is not too late for me to draw a few more feet of the snake!" He took the flask in his left hand and a twig in his right. Draw the snake's feet.

While he was drawing his feet and talking, another person had already finished drawing. The man immediately snatched the flask from his hand and said, "Have you ever seen a snake? Snakes have no legs, so why do you want to add feet to them? So the first person to draw a snake is not you, but me!"

The man threw up his head and drank the wine.

And after telling this story, Chen Zhen made a summary of Zhaoyang: "The snake has no feet, and Zi'an can do it?"

Ultimately. The state of Chu canceled the plan to fight with troops against the state of Qi.

"Historical Records Volume 70 - Zhang Yi's Biography Tenth":

Chen Zhen, lobbyist. and Zhang Yi have a relationship with King Qin Huiwen, all of whom are precious and compete for favor. Zhang Yi hated Chen Zhen and said to the King of Qin: "If you make a heavy coin and light between Qin and Chu, you will also make diplomatic relations between the country." Today, Chu is not good at Qin and is good at it, and he is thick and thin for the king. And he wants to go to Qin and Chu, but Wang Hu doesn't listen? Wang Wei Chen Zhen said: I heard that I want to go to Qin and Chu. Yes, he said: Yes. Wang said: Yi's words are true. Zhen said: Not only does the Yi know, but the people who do the Tao know everything. In the past, Zixu was loyal to his king and the world fought for his ministers, and he once participated in filial piety to his relatives and the world thought of him as a son. Therefore, those who sell their concubines without going out of the alleys are good servants and concubines, and those who marry in the countryside are also good women. Now he is not loyal to his king, why should Chu also be loyal? What is the point of not being able to do so? The king took his words as they were, and treated them well.

This record is likely to be from the corresponding record of the "Warring States Policy":

Zhang Yi hated Chen Zhen and the king of Qin, saying: "Galloping between Chu and Qin, now Chu is not good to Qin but good, but it is self-serving and not for the country."

And if you want to go to Qin and Chu, why doesn't the king listen?" Wang said to Chen Zhen: "I heard that the son wants to go to Qin and Chu, believe it?" Chen Zhen said: "Yes." The king said, "Yi's words are true." He said: "It's not the only thing you know." Those who do the way know it. He said: 'Filial piety and love for one's relatives, the world wants to be a son, Zixu is loyal to his king, and the world wants to be a minister.' Those who sell servants and concubines are good servants and concubines, and those who marry rural songs are also good women. "I am not loyal to the king, how can Chu be loyal? Loyal and abandoned, I am not Chu, how can I be suitable?" "That's the end.

"Historical Records Volume 70 - Zhang Yi's Biography Tenth":

Han and Wei attacked each other, and they were puzzled for many years. King Qin Huiwen wanted to save him and asked left and right. Left and right or said to save the convenience, or said not to save the convenience, King Hui failed to decide. Chen Zhen was suitable for Qin, and King Hui said: The son goes to the Chu of the widow, and he also thinks about the widow? Chen Zhen said to him: Wang Wenfu Yue Ren Zhuang Hu Wang said: I don't hear it. Said: Yue Ren Zhuang Shi Chu Zhiqi, there is a sudden illness. The king of Chu said: The more despised the delicate people are, and now the Chu Zhiqi, the rich and noble, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks, the more he thinks, and the more he thinks, he says: The thoughts of mortals are also in their illness. The more he thinks, the louder he is, and the more he doesn't think, the more he speaks. Let people listen to it, and still speak louder. Although the present minister has abandoned the expulsion of Chu, how can there be no sound of Qin! King Hui said: Good. Now Han and Wei are attacking each other, and they are incomprehensible for many years, or it is said that the widow can not save it, and the widow cannot decide, and the atom is the rest of the sub-master, and the widow is the widow. Chen Zhen said: There is also a taste of the husband Bian Zhuangzi stabbing the tiger in the king's person? Zhuangzi wants to stab the tiger, the pavilion erects the stop, and says: The two tigers eat cattle, eat sweetly and fight, fight will fight, fight will be injured, the small will die, from the injury and stabbing it, there will be the name of the double tiger in one fell swoop. Bian Zhuangzi thought so and stood up. There is a while, two tigers fight, the big one is injured, and the small one dies. Zhuangzi stabbed him from the wounded, and in one fell swoop, he had the merit of two tigers. Now that Han and Wei are attacking each other, they are incomprehensible year after year, and they will inevitably be injured by big countries and destroyed by small countries. This is like Zhuangzi's stabbing tiger and the like. The lord is no different from the king. King Hui said: Good. Pawn saves. The big country was injured, the small country died, Qin Xing's troops were attacked, and the big was defeated. This is also a plan.

"Warring States Policy Volume 3: Qin Ce I":

Chen Zhen went to Chu Zhiqin. Zhang Yi said to the King of Qin: "Chen Zhen is a royal minister, and he often loses Chu based on his national conditions. Ritual can not be engaged in, may the king chase it. That is, the Chu of revenge, may the king kill it. The king said: "You dare to be safe." ”

Wang Zhao Chen Zhen told him: "I can listen to my son's words, what do my sons want? He said: "The wish of the minister." The king said: "Yi takes the son as the Chu, and I know the Chu of the son."

Zi is not Chu, and he is safe!" said: "The ministers are out, and the Chu of the reason will be followed, and the Chu of the Ming ministers will not be." The Chu people have two wives. The elder is the elder, and the less is allowed. There is no geometry, and two wives die. The guest said, 'Do you take the elderly?' and said, 'Take the elderly.' He said, 'The old man is you, and the young are you, why do you take the elders?' and said, 'If you live in the place of others, you will let him allow me, and now she will be my wife.' I want it to be my poet. 'Now the king of Chu is also the lord, and Zhaoyang is also virtuous. He is a minister. And often lose the king of Chu with the country, the king will not stay with the ministers, and Zhaoyang will not engage with the ministers. In this way, the ministers are clear and not. ”

And Chen Zhen is not recorded in the history books, but it can be regarded as a rumor, that is, "harming Han for Chu":

Qin defeated Korea in a war, and Yu Xunze captured two Korean generals. Han Chen Gongzhong proposed to the king of Han to use a famous city in Korea and some weapons as a condition for peace, so that Qin sent troops south to attack Chu. The state of Chu was in a situation of a joint attack by the armies of Qin and Han. Chen Zhen, a strategist of the state of Chu, offered a plan to the king of Chu to delay the army, that is, to inform the whole country. He sent troops and threatened to save Korea, and sent envoys to Korea with heavy gifts to prevent Qin and Han from joining forces. King Han really fell into the plan, listened to the false rumor of Chu to rescue Korea, and sent people to break off diplomatic relations with Qin. Qin and Han fought the war, and the state of Chu sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. South Korea was defeated. Chen Zhen's strategy of delaying the army was successfully used.

This can be clearly seen from the above account. After Chen Zhen left the Qin State, his thinking did not change quickly towards Hezhong.

This can be said to be quite unexpected. Because even Zhang Yi, when he is the minister of other countries, he may be regarded as his own master.

But Chen Zhen was obviously more willing to do something secretly for the Qin State. It is possible that although Chen Zhen left the Qin State, he came to work for the Qin State as a guest secretary of the Qin State.

And what is a little interesting is that Su Qin is trying to achieve his goal of cooperation. and even lobbied Chen Zhen.

There is this record in the "Warring States Zongheng Family Book":

Qi and Song attacked Wei, Chu Hui Weng was, and Qin was defeated. Stomach Chen Zhen said: "I wish to have a confession to the public, and his work is very finished, and it will be convenient and profitable." If it succeeds, it will be a blessing, and if it does not become a blessing. Now Qin stands at the door. The guest said: 'King Wei stomach Han Fu and Zhang Yi: boil thorns and generals, Qi soldiers have advanced, and the son can save the widow, but if he does not save the widow, the widow can be a branch. 'Hiki resigned. Qin and Han's soldiers are not in the east, more than ten years, Wei is Maki, Han is cong, Qin chases Zhang Yi, and Chu is a success. Chen Zhen said: "If there is no history?" He said: "Han Fu's words to save Wei will not be stomach Zheng Wang said: 'Wei thinks Wei. It will be said: 'The soldiers of the three kingdoms will take advantage of the hundreds, and cut the south to Chu, and the old land will be exhausted.'" Zhang Yizhi's words to save Wei will not be stomach King Qin said: "Righteousness is Wei." He will say: "Righteousness and the soldiers of Han and Qin in the East Juqi and Song, and the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of Yi will take advantage of the humiliation of the three kingdoms, cut the south to Chu, survive in name and die in the country, and return from the three rivers, and this royal industry is also." 'The prince ordered the king of Chu and the land of the Han clan to make peace with Qin. Stomach Qin said: 'Please be with Han Di and the king to Shi Sanchuan, Han is soldiers do not need to get the land in Chu, He. The Qin soldiers did not need to get Sanchuan, and Chu and Han were embarrassed by Wei, but Wei did not dare not listen. Qin and Han want to land and the sound of the war case is in Wei, Wei is Wei is turning, Qin and Han are arguing for Qichu, and the king wants not to give land. The soldiers of Qin and Han were ordered to get land without use, and they had a great virtue. The kings of Qin and Han robbed Han Fu and Zhang Yi and the eastern soldiers to serve Wei, and the public often □ and blamed Qin and Han. ’”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the history of the Warring States Period, the combination of vertical and horizontal was mainly aimed at or initiated by the Qin State.

But there is one example of an exception.

And this person is the famous minister of Yan during the reign of King Yan Zhao, Guo Kui.

Guo Kui, a native of Yan during the Warring States Period of China, and the king of Yanzhao, was the first outstanding figure surnamed Guo to shine in history. He asked King Yan Zhao to "build a platform and learn from it", and summoned many strange people and strange people for Yan Kingdom, and finally made Yan Country rich and strong, and its story has been popular for thousands of years and has been recited endlessly.

In the seventh year of the reign of King Yan (314 BC), King Xuan of Qi broke through the Kingdom of Yan and was killed. King Wuling of Zhao heard of Yan's civil strife and sent Yan Wang's concubine from Korea back to Yan. In the first year of King Yan Zhao (311 BC), he was proclaimed king by the Yan people and called King Yan Zhao. In order to avenge Qi for destroying Yan and reviving the Yan Kingdom, King Zhao visited Guo Kui and asked for advice. Guo Kui took the ancients' daughters to buy bones as an example, so that King Zhao recruited social talents, built a "golden platform", and King Zhao respected Guo Kui as a teacher.

Subsequently, King Yan Zhao took revenge and asked him for advice. He said, "Please start with Kui." "That is, if you want to recruit talents, start with me, and if you respect me as a wise person, people who are more virtuous than me will come to you. So King Zhao built him a palace called Jintai, and the hall was called "Zunxian Hall", and respected him as a teacher. As a result, Le Yi, Zou Yan, Ju Xin and other talented people all came to join the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom became stronger.

The so-called "humility" is to put down the monarch's shelf, be willing to perform the disciple ceremony, and take the sage as a teacher. It reflects the monarch's respect for the Magi. King Yan Zhao found Guo Kui, a famous scholar of Yan State, and asked him for advice: "The State of Qi took advantage of the civil strife in our country to enter the Kou, and the ancestor died, this shameful and humiliating, I swear to take revenge." But I know very well that the strength of the Yan Kingdom is weak, and now is not the time. It is my urgent desire to have a wise man to govern the country with me, and I hope that he will help me find talents." Guo Kui replied: "The attitude of the master is different, and the quality of the talent obtained is also different -- those who want to be emperor get along with their teachers, those who want to be kings get along with their friends, those who want to dominate get along with their ministers, and those who want to lose the country get along with their servants." Guo Kui further argued: "If the king can teach the wise men with his own teachings, then the talents who are a hundred times better than himself will come; if the king can seriously consider the opinions of the wise men, then the talents who are ten times better than himself will come; if the king can treat others equally, then there will be people who are about the same ability as himself; and if the king is very big and full of style, and he is commanding the wise men and barking at will, then the people who are full of servility will come." In short, being able to take the sage as a teacher and be taught with an open mind can recruit the sage, which is the method of 'serving the Tao' since ancient times. When King Yan Zhao heard this, he praised him again and again, and then asked Guo Kui to recommend talents to him. Guo Kui said: "If the king must recruit a wise man, then please start with me Guo Kui! A king like me can be reused, let alone someone stronger than me? King Yan Zhao felt that it made sense, so he built a palace for Guo Kui, worshiped Guo Kui as a teacher, and served him.

The so-called "thick coin" is to spare a lot of money and be treated well, which shows the ruler's affirmation of the value of the Magi. This is indispensable in the recruitment measures of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and it seems that there is no need to talk about it. But King Yan Zhao still has his own characteristics, he is ingenious, "build a golden platform, put a thousand gold on the stage, in order to invite the world's celebrities." "It's a first-of-its-kind initiative after all. It shows that in the heart of King Yan Zhao, the value of the Magi was more precious than gold.

King Yan Zhao's "humble and generous coins" initiative has achieved remarkable results: "Le Yi is from Wei, Zou Yan is from Qi, and drama Xin is from Zhao." Scholars compete for swallows. ”

After Guo Kui became strong in Yan State, he knew that the gap in national strength between Qi and Yan was still very large, so he proposed an arrangement for King Yan Zhao to join forces and attack Qi.

In the twenty-eighth year of King Yan Zhao, the Yan Kingdom was rich and prosperous, and the soldiers lived a comfortable life and were not afraid of war. So he used Le Yi as the general, and Qin, Chu, and the Three Jin (Zhao Wei Han, the monarch of the Three Kingdoms was originally a doctor of the Jin State, and later carved up the Jin State) to jointly plan to attack the Qi State. The Qi army was defeated, and the king of Qi Min fled (to Ju, who was killed soon after). The Yan army pursued the defeated Qi army alone, penetrated deep into Linzi (the capital of Qi), plundered the treasures of the Qi country, and burned down the palaces and temples of the Qi country. The cities of Qi were not captured, only Ju and Jimo remained.

In this regard, although it is not clearly stated that Guo Kui is the person who cooperates with the Zongzong Qi, he has a certain amount of ink in the "Warring States Policy", and it is very likely that he has become a recognized member of the Zongheng family because of this matter.
