Zhang Yi, the famous figure of Daqin: A three-inch golden tongue disintegrated the union of the six countries.

Chu State in the Warring States Period. One day, a banquet was being held at Zhaoyang's home, which was attended by Yin (Chu Xiang) of the State of Chu. Your family was like a cloud, and weddings was busy. During the dinner, Yin Zhaoyang suddenly found that a jade jade she was wearing was missing, and there was an uproar and a lot of discussion. Gradually people's eyes focused on a young man who looked like a scholar. When Zhaoyang saw this, he ordered the young man to be tied up and tortured to extract a confession. However, although the young man was beaten raw, he refused to confess, so Yin Zhaoyang had to wave the man out.

The young man was badly beaten by this, so he stumbled home and confided to his wife in detail: Alas, I didn't expect that he had such bad luck when he first came to Chu since he met his teacher Guiguzi. While scrubbing his wounds, his wife complained: It's all your fault for reading and lobbying, otherwise, you can't bring these sufferings. At this point, the young man has unspeakable ups and downs, and his mind is endless. It makes me sad to think that my fellow brother Su Qin has now become the prime minister of Guan Gao Lufeng in Zhao, but he is still poor at home. After thinking about it, I still can't bear to stop. So, he opened his mouth and asked his wife, Do you still have my tongue? The wife didn't understand what it meant, and said with a smile, the tongue is still there. The young man said with relief: the tongue is still there, which is enough. This person is Yi Cheung. Later, he really relied on this piece of Li Kou to skillfully apply vertical and horizontal techniques to help Qin unify the world. Being humiliated, he went to Qin to plot a military plan

In the thirty-ninth year of Zhou Xianwang (33 BC), Su Qin, a strategist, ran around and finally persuaded Yan, Zhao and other six countries to unite against Qin. This year, it happened that Gongsun Yan (No.Xi Shou) was sent by the State of Qin to break Wei Jun in Luoyang and capture Wei Jiang Long Jia alive. Su Qin expected that the State of Zhao, as the leader of the Union against Qin, was bound to be regarded as a thorn in the side and listed as the primary target of attack. If the State of Qin used troops against Zhao, it would definitely break up the newly established alliance of the nations, so it wanted to send someone to lobby King Hui of Qin to postpone sending troops. Although Zhao was quite a civil servant and military commander, he advised tourists, but Su Qin sifted around and found no one interested. So he thought of his classmate Zhang Yi. He knew that Zhang Yi was a man, so he was not as good as a goad, so he called his retainer, gave him a warning and sent him away.

Su Qin didn't go in person, and he didn't openly send an invitation. Instead, he sent people in disguise to act in secret. The person sent to find a way to get close to Zhang Yi, implying: At the beginning, Mr. Wang had a deep friendship with Su Qin, and now Su Qin has a prosperous career. Why don't you go and see him, so as to realize your lifelong ambition? Zhang Yizheng was suffering from a talent shortage. Of course, he wanted to be supported by his classmates, so he decided to go to Su Qin.

Zhang Yi came to Zhao with great difficulties and hope. I went to see Su Qin the next day, but no one informed him. It was not until the fifth day that the janitor reported back to him. The man came back and said, Xiangguo is very busy today. He said please stay and visit you another day. Zhang Yi had to go back to the inn and wait patiently. Who knows that after waiting for several days in a row, there is no news at all. Yi cheung was so angry that he had to leave. But the shopkeeper said, didn't you say that Xiangguo sent someone to invite you? In case he comes to you, where can I find it? We dare not let you go! Yi cheung is in a dilemma when she wants to get in but can't get out, and she is very upset. After a few days, I finally looked forward to Su Qin's interview. Although the previous indifference has made Zhang Yi expect that this interview will definitely not be grand and enthusiastic, the actual situation is even worse than he expected. Yi cheung dressed herself, wiped her sleeves and went up the steps. I saw Su Qin sitting aloof in class, and Zhang Yi came in, but he didn't move. Zhang Yi made a bow to Su Qin, but Su Qin said to him slowly, I haven't seen you for years. How are you? As he spoke, he pointed to a table below and said, it's time for dinner. Please have a light meal here. I still have something to tell you. Yi cheung had to sit down and saw just a little green vegetables and coarse rice in front of him. A look up, but see before Su Qin is full of delicacies. He wanted to leave, but he was so hungry that he had to swallow it. Who knows that I haven't eaten a few mouthfuls, but I heard Su Qin say: I know your talent is better than mine, but how can you be so poor? It's not difficult for me to recommend you to the marquis of Zhao and make you rich. But ... But I'm afraid you have no ambition and can't do anything big, but you'll bring trouble to me? After listening to this, Zhang Yi couldn't sit still any longer. He was so angry that he said, Jizi! (Su Qin's words) I thought you didn't forget your friends, so I came all the way to see you. I can't believe that you don't care about me at all, even the friendship of your classmates! You ... you ... you're such a snob! Say that finish, started to go.

Zhang yi decided to abandon Zhao and go to another country. Where to go? Zhang Yi pondered over the situation of other countries, but none of the other governors could achieve anything, except Qin. In his view, if you go to Qin, you can attack Zhao, and you can wash your personal grievances; You can rely on this grand plan to realize your lifelong political ambitions. So, he resolutely took the baggage and take the journey, went west to Qin and defected to King Hui of Qin.

The road to the west is full of mountains and miles, and Zhang Yi is short of money. She wants to go to the state of Qin and see the king of Qin, but there is really no way to answer questions. However, Zhang Yi's luck turned unexpectedly, and she met a kind-hearted man who knew heroes with an eye just after she set foot on the journey. It can be seen that this kind-hearted man is a rich man, but he treats Zhang Yi like a loyal slave to his noble master, stays with him, pays all the expenses on his behalf, and makes him go to Qin smoothly. If you want to see the king of Qin, you must be introduced. However, Zhang Yi simply doesn't have this wealth that can be used as a stepping stone. Therefore, this kind-hearted person who is grateful to Zhang Yi once again generously donated money to help him move frequently inside and outside the imperial court. Finally, the good-hearted man's treasure paved the way for him to go to the palace of the king of Qin.

In the fortieth year of King Xian of Zhou (329 BC), Zhang Yi met King Hui of Qin. Qin Hui Wang Zheng regretted the loss of Su Qin. Seeing that Zhang Yi was eloquent and resourceful, he immediately worshipped as a guest (the official lived in your position and treated him with courtesy) and participated in the planning of military affairs.

Zhang Yi went through all kinds of hardships and finally got what she wanted, and she was overjoyed. He was wondering how to reward the good-hearted man who paved the way for his bridge, but the man wanted to leave politely decline. Zhang Yi was puzzled and asked, "I depend on my husband, so I can stay in a prominent position. Now it's just time to repay my kindness. Why should I say goodbye in a hurry?"? That humanity: This kindness and virtue is purely attributed to Su Jun.. Then tell Su Qin's intentions one by one. After listening to this, Zhang Yi was grateful and ashamed. She sighed, I was trapped by others, but I didn't realize it at all. I'm not as obvious as Su Qin. Besides, I have just arrived in a different capital, so how can I plan to attack Zhao! Please thank Su Jun for me. I will never make hasty suggestions when he is in trouble.

Wei Ji broke the union

Zhang Yi entered Qin. One year later, in the forty-first year of King Xian of Zhou (328 BC), King Hui of Qin ordered Zhang Yi and Gongzi Hua to lead an army to attack Wei and defeat Wei Jun. However, the military victory did not make Qin Huiwang get carried away. He was deeply disturbed by the threat posed by the alliance of six governors and dreamed of breaking up the alliance.

One day, King Hui of Qin asked the ministers about the plan to break up the alliance. A minister immediately remonstrated: the alliance began with Zhao, and the king should attack Zhao first. We'll hit whoever saves Zhao. The governors of the six countries are all afraid of our state of Qin, and I'm afraid they will all have their own worries not to rescue Zhao. In this way, the six-nation alliance naturally broke up.

all the ministers agreed. As long as Qin Huiwang nods, Zhao will be at war soon.

I don't think so. Yi cheung quickly stood up against it. He had long expected that all the ministers of Qin would put forward this proposal, and of course he was ready to push through the crowd. He said; The six countries have just entered into an alliance, and there is no gap between them. How can they be separated by hard demolition? At present, the land of vassals is five times that of Qin, and the soldiers of vassals are ten times that of Qin. If we send troops to attack Zhao, Han, Chu, Wei, Qi and Yan will unite to attack us, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qin Huiwang was also worried about this situation, and asked quickly, What's your opinion? Zhang Yi said with confidence: Hard disassembly is better than soft disassembly. In my opinion, there is no need to make a big fight, just try to make them suspect each other and break up their alliance just around the corner. The closest to us is Wei State, and the farthest is Yan State. Let's start with this far and near. Let's return the cities we brought from Wei to him, and Wei will be grateful to the king. In addition, as long as the king betrothed his daughter to the prince of Yan, he became related to Yan. In this way, our state of Qin will no longer be isolated, and the six countries will be wary of each other, and the alliance will collapse. Then, Zhang Yi put forward a general strategic policy: alternately using offensive and political appeasement strategies to concentrate on attacking neighboring Wei and South Korea.

Hui Wang felt that his words were reasonable, so he acted according to Zhang Yi's plan. Soon after, Qin took the initiative to return Zhanjiao and Quwo to Wei, and sent his son to Wei to seek reconciliation.

this beating and pulling made Wei happy and afraid. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yi went into his country again and lobbied Wei Huiwang, saying: Qin is so generous to Wei, Wei can't be rude! Wang Wei was awed by Qin's powerful military strength, and thanked Qin for returning the land, so that people could make good connections. He even got into the urn and gave 15 counties of Shangjun and Shaoliang (now northeast Shaanxi) to Qin to thank the king of Qin.

All of them occupied the land of Hexi, which put Qin in an extremely favorable position strategically. It has no strong enemies to the west and north; There is Qinling Mountain in the south, which separates it from Bashu and Chu. Depending on the Yellow River and Hangu Pass in the east, the vassal states can be shut out. Zhang Yi's move not only helped Zhao, but also broke up the alliance, making Qin rich and famous, not only gaining more land from other countries, but also falling into a good name of good neighborliness and friendship. In the same year, King Hui of Qin set up the post of Xiangguo, which was held by Zhang Yi. In this way, in just over a year, Zhang Yi became famous. With her excellent eloquence and resourcefulness, she became the first person in the history of Qin.

In the forty-fourth year of King Xian of Zhou (325 BC), he personally led troops to capture the Shaanxi area of Wei, but returned the local people to Wei, which was another strategy of fighting and pulling.

Two years later, that is, in the forty-sixth year of King Xian of Zhou (323 BC), Zhang Yi suggested that Qin adopt Lian Heng strategy in view of Wei's efforts to win over Qi's actions against Qin. Therefore, Zhang Yi personally met the ministers of Qi and Chu in Sangdi, made friends with Qi and Chu, and forced Wei to submit to Qin. It's just that his strategy was seen through by Gongsun Yan who entered the Wei Dynasty in Qin Dynasty, and Gongsun Yan launched Korea for this purpose; The movement that Wei, Zhao, Yan, Zhongshan and other five countries * * * are the same as the king, that is, the so-called five countries are kings, that is, they form alliances with each other to fight against Qin, Qi and Chu. However, because the rulers of these five countries are divided and divided, a real alliance has not been formed at all. In that year, Chu sent troops to defeat Wei in Xiangling and captured eight cities of Wei.

Zhang Yi saw the opportunity, so she carefully planned with King Hui of Qin, took the initiative to resign as the prime minister, and went to Wei secretly. It is intended to break up the union plan of Kanto governors and persuade Wei to be a leader with Qin Lian Heng.

when Wei Huiwang was in difficulties at home and abroad, when he saw Zhang Yi coming, he didn't even think about it. He regarded him as the savior to turn around Gan Kun and worshipped him as Wei Xiang. Zhang Yi is a keen observer of the general trend of the world, and he knows the internal affairs of Wei like the back of his hand. With his glib tongue, he launched a sharp offensive against Wei Huiwang.

first of all, he talked about the fact that Wei's soldiers were small, the land was helpless, and he was attacked on all sides, so he could neither fight nor defend.

Secondly, he analyzed that it is difficult to achieve anything by painting cakes to satisfy hunger. He said: There are people vying for money between brothers, but it is really difficult for the six monarchs to rely on Su Qin's fraudulent and hypocritical strategy. This is obvious.

thirdly, he talked about the harm of betraying Qin: if the King of Qin did not make friends with Qin, and the King of Qin ordered an attack on Heshi (the land west of Wei), and occupied places like Juan, Yan, Yan and Suanji, then Zhao could not go south. If Zhao can't go south, Wei can't go north, and if Wei can't go north, the union will be blocked. Once the union is blocked, the king's country will be in danger. Qin held South Korea hostage and attacked Wei. South Korea was afraid of Qin, and Qin and South Korea United as one, and Wei's power soon perished. This is the reason why I am worried about your majesty!

fourthly, he talked about the benefits of uniting with Qin: for the above reasons, for the sake of your majesty, Wei might as well make friends with Qin. If the king befriends Qin, then Chu and South Korea must not act rashly. Without the worries of Chu and Korea, the king can rest easy and don't have to worry about national security. Besides, what Qin really wants to weaken is Chu, and only Wei can weaken Chu. Although Chu has the name of being rich and powerful, it is actually very empty; Although there are many foot soldiers in Chu, they are vulnerable. Mobilizing all the forces of Wei to attack Chu will surely win a great victory. Breaking up with Chu is beneficial to Wei, weakening Chu and catering to Qin, which can not only save Chu, but also save bring peace and stability to the country. This is a good thing. If your majesty doesn't listen to my advice, it will be too late once the Qin army conquers Wei.

Zhang Yi is indecisive, sometimes her words are full of words, and sometimes she can't help exaggerating and bluffing, making it difficult to tell whether Wei Huiwang is true or false, with a grain of salt and hesitation. For several years, Wei's foreign policy has been indecisive. This bought time for the development of Qin State and its separate attack on Kanto vassals.

In the second year of Zhou Shen Liang Wang (319 BC), with the continuous expansion of Qin's power, Zhang Yi's face as a spy of Qin was exposed. Wei expelled Yi Cheung and worshipped Gongsun Yan. Zhang Yi lived up to his mission and returned to the State of Qin. In the second year, Gongsun Yan joined forces with Zhao, Han, Qi, Yan and Chu to fight against Qin, and elected Chu Huaiwang as the commander. This is the second large-scale integration activity of the six countries. However, due to the different interests of different countries, their attitudes are also different: Chu and Yan are not enthusiastic about this move and refuse to send troops to fight Qin; Qi is watching the fire from the other side of the bank, taking advantage of the fishermen. Only Wei, Korea and Zhao started to make war with Qin because of their close relationship in history and geography. As a result, Qin Jun defeated the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms in the First World War of Hanguguan. Then, the state of Qin sent a think tank, Cha Liji, to attack Wei, Han and Zhao, defeated the allied forces in Xiuyu (now southwest of Yuanyang, Henan Province), captured General Han, applied for a job, beheaded 8, people, and made a noise in the five countries to attack Qin, thus ending in failure.
