After the Xuanwumen Change, the King of Qin, who was later Tang Taizong Li Shimin, ordered the prince Li Jiancheng and the son of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, that is, the king of Qin, and Li Shimin, the later Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, to kill all his own nephews.

So Tang Taizong Li Shimin's battle for the throne before the road to becoming emperor was wonderful?

Tang Taizong Li Shimin's road to becoming the emperor before the battle for the throne was "corpses everywhere and rivers of blood"?

So when the son of heaven - His Majesty Emperor Wen achieved the road to the emperor, was the battle for the throne also exciting?

When the Son of Heaven - His Majesty Emperor Wen became the emperor, was the battle for the throne before he was also "corpses all over the place and rivers of blood"?

Of course not.

When Emperor Wen of Han achieved the road to the emperor, the battle for the throne before the emperor was not only not "corpses everywhere and rivers of blood", but also unexpectedly smooth.

When Emperor Wen of Han became the emperor, the battle for the throne before the achievement of the emperor not only did not have "corpses everywhere and rivers of blood", but the new emperor's ascension to the throne was also unexpectedly smooth, and he could be rated as the luckiest emperor in history.

When Emperor Wen of Han achieved the road to the emperor, the battle for the throne before was not only "corpses everywhere and rivers of blood"... And the new emperor's ascension to the throne is also unexpectedly smooth, what happened behind the scenes?

There is an idiom called "Sandpiper and clam fight, fisherman profits".

"Snipe and clam fighting" is a fable told by Su Dai, a strategist during the Warring States period, when he lobbied King Zhao Hui. At that time, King Zhao wanted to attack Yan State, and Su told King Zhao on behalf of King Yan that Zhao State and Yan State were at war. It's just a "snipe and clam fighting", which will definitely make the Qin State "benefit from the fisherman". Today's parable tells people to be vigilant against the real enemy in the intricate struggle of contradictions.

Zhao (1) and Yan (2), Su Dai (3) for Yan Hui Wang (4) said: "Today's ministers come, pass the easy water (5), the mussel side is violent (6), and the sandpiper (7) pecks its flesh, and the mussel closes and clamps its beak (2] (8). The sandpiper said, "'It won't rain today, it won't rain tomorrow.'" That is, there are dead mussels. The mussel is also called the sandpiper and said, 'Don't come out today.' Tomorrow will not come out, and there will be dead sandpipers. The two would not give up to each other, and the fisherman would get and catch them. Today, Zhao and Yan Yan, Yan and Zhao have been supporting each other for a long time. to the public. The minister is afraid of forcing Qin (9) to be the fisherman (10). Therefore, may the king's plan be well understood. King Hui said, "Good!" ――Excerpt from "Warring States Policy: Yan Ce II"

Zhao and Vayan. Su Dai said for Yan Weihui Wang: "Today's ministers are coming, passing through the water, and the mussel side is exposed." And the sandpiper pecks its flesh, and the mussel is not better than its beak. The sandpiper said, 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead mussels!' and the mussels also said, 'If you don't come out today, you won't come out tomorrow, there will be a dead sandpiper!' and the two refused to give up each other. The fisherman was caught and captured. Today, Zhao and Yan have been supporting each other for a long time, so as to harm the public. The minister is afraid that Qin Zhi will be the fisherman's father. Therefore, may the king be well prepared. King Hui said, "Good!"

King Zhao was about to attack Yan Kingdom, and Su Dai went to persuade King Zhao Hui for Yan Kingdom: "When I came this time, I passed by Yishui and (saw) a river mussel basking in the sun with its shell open. There was a sandpiper that stretched out its beak to peck at the flesh of a mussel. The mussel quickly closed its shell and clamped the sandpiper bird's beak tightly. The sandpiper said, 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, you'll die.'" The mussel also said to the sandpiper, 'If you don't let go today, if you don't let go tomorrow, you will die!' When the fisherman saw this, he caught them both. Now Zhao is going to attack Yan State, Yan and Zhao can't hold each other, and after a long time, the strength of both sides is very depleted. I fear that the mighty state of Qin will become the "fisherman" in the clam competition. So (I) hope that the king will think about it carefully. When King Hui heard this, he suddenly realized that he said, "It makes sense!" and stopped attacking Yan.

That story takes place during the Warring States period.

At that time, Zhao Guo, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", wanted to send troops to attack Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".

At that time, the king of Yanguo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", saw that something was wrong, and quickly sent his civil official Su Dai out to say good things to the king of Zhao, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" at that time.

Don't blame the king of Yan, who is also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", for being timid, because although the Yan State at that time was known as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" along with the six countries of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi. But in fact, Yan Guo was the bottom of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that the king of Yan Kingdom, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", finally came out with a powerful king, King Yan Zhao, who made a majestic appearance, and beat the Qi State, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and almost lost the country. If there was no such time, then Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", would not be qualified to become the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" along with the six states of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi at that time, and the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" should be changed to the "Six Heroes of the Warring States" of the six countries of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi.

However, when the king of Yan Kingdom, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", finally came out, the powerful king Yan Zhao kicked his legs. The new king who inherited the throne of the king of Yanguo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", was also the king of Yan, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and the son of King Yan Zhao, who finally returned to his ancestors, returned to his ancestors and restored the consistent inheritance of his ancestors.

Because of personal reasons, the new king who inherited the throne of the king of Yan, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" and was called the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" with the six kingdoms of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi at that time, was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States". The six countries of Yan and known as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" were also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and the famous general of the Qi State, Le Yi, was replaced.

At that time, the Qi State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" and the six countries of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Yan, was attacked and defeated by the Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" and one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" with the six countries of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi. To a large extent, it relies on Le Yi's command.

Not only that, but the new king who inherited the throne of the king of Yan, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" and was called the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" with the six states of Qin, Korea, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qi at that time, was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and the general who was sent by the son of King Yan Zhao to take over Le Yi's position as commander was also a straw bag.

It truly proves the sentence "people gather by like, and things are divided by groups".

As a result, Yan Guo, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" at that time, not only did not destroy the Qi State, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", but because of the Jedi counterattack of the Qi State, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", the Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", lost its troops and lost its vitality.

At that time, Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", was counterattacked by Qi State, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", so the reason for this was that there were not many professional soldiers at that time, that is, the standing army. Relying only on those professional soldiers, that is, the standing army, can only maintain internal security, and there are no troops to wage foreign wars at all.

There's no way!

Productivity at that time was generally low.

At that time, unlike now, the current crop yield of a few hundred catties of crops per acre of land is considered average. Even the production was reduced. But at that time. Crop yield: A crop of dozens of catties per acre of land is considered to be average, and a crop yield of 100 catties of crops per acre of land is considered to be a very high yield. If the wind and rain were particularly good that year, and the crop yield was more than 100 catties per acre, and the crops were close to 200 catties, it was considered a super high yield, and it must be blessed by God. Be sure to have a very, very big ceremony to celebrate. Even if the increased grain production is completely used for the cost of this celebration, it will not be spared.

And. At that time, there were no chemical pesticides as they are now. If there is a "locust plague" in which locusts are powerful, it is even more likely that "no grain will be harvested" and even the seeds will be lost. It's not miserable!

It takes a large piece of land to feed one person normally. If you add seeds to an acre of land. Coupled with the grain handed in, there was not much left. I have to plant a big piece of land, "accumulate a lot", and when I encounter a good year, I can still have a little bit of food for cooking and eating.

Because it takes a lot of labor to wait for a large piece of land, there is no surplus manpower during the busy farming season. Therefore, at that time, under normal circumstances, the war was waged in the slack season.

Anyway, there is no need to farm, and being idle is idle, and there is nothing to fight a small war.

If you win the war, wouldn't you be rich by grabbing some gold, silver, treasures, and beautiful goods? At that time, the status of women was low, and it was really counted with gold, silver, treasure, and goods.

If you lose the battle, hundreds or even thousands of people will die, and it is not a great thing. Of course, these are the thoughts of those powerful people, and in their hearts, the life and death of ordinary people is nothing at all.

However, Yan Guo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" at that time, suffered too much loss this time. Because of the defeat, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the army of Yan, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", died in the territory of Qi, one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States". These hundreds of thousands of people are not only army soldiers, but also productive laborers. That is, because of this defeat. At that time, Yan Guo, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of production laborers, so it was greatly injured.

At that time, Zhao Guo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", saw that Yan Guo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", was greatly injured after the defeat, so he launched a large army to prepare to attack Yan Guo, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".

In interpersonal relations between people, it is morally reproachful to take advantage of the danger of others, but it is a very common thing to take advantage of the danger of others in international relations between countries.

The new king who inherited the throne of the king of Yan Kingdom, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", was also the king of Yan who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and the head of the son of King Yan Zhao was a little sober because of that defeat. He also knew that his current national strength could not win against Zhao Guo, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" at that time.

So after some preparations, the Yan State delegation led by Su Dai, an official lobbyist of the Yan State, who was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", set off from the Yan State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and came to Handan, the capital of the Zhao State, which was also one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", and sold saliva plasters.
