The King of Qin, Yingzheng, spread heroic posts widely, and the world's famous sages moved west to the Qin State and were willing to serve the Qin State. For a time, the Qin King's account was full of talents, Li Si, Han Fei, Mao Jiao, GanLuo, Dun Wei, Wei Ji, Yao Jia, Wang Qi, Feng Hao... Everyone stands tall in the sky, and they are all talents who are in an security state. These many talents were treated with varying degrees of courtesy by Qin Shi Huang.
To say that the talents under Qin Shi Huang's account are the most respected and courteous to Qin Shi Huang, it may be Wei Ji. The legend of Qin Shi Huang and Wei Ji, Sima Qian's "History" has always been a mystery. Wei Ji talked about the ugliness of Qin Shi Huang, qin shi huang was not angry but happy, qin shi huang instead ate with him; Wei Ji escaped, and the king of Qin instead gave him a promotion and handed over the command of the whole country's army. What is so great about Wei Ji?
Qin Shi Huang's generals were like clouds, and they lacked a commander who could see the overall situation
Wei Ji was a liang man of the State of Wei, who he studied under, who could not be examined, and who he had good skills and was full of strategy. He believed that the Qin state would inevitably destroy all countries and unify the world, so he came to the Qin state to show his talents. Wei Ji and Qin Wang Yingzheng fell in love almost at first sight, and as soon as the two met Wei Ji, they raised specific questions about the decisive battle of reunification.
He believes that under the situation of Fang today, it is the trend of the times for the Qin state to unify the world, and this is a historical necessity. The only thing to worry about is that the six kingdoms will form an alliance again, and once again they will join forces to resist Qin. Wei Ji proposed that the King of Qin bribe the countries with heavy money to destroy the alliance of the Six Kingdoms, and the King of Qin accepted Wei Ji's suggestion. The King of Qin had long heard of Wei Ji's military strategy, and when he first met Qin Shi Huang, he put Wei Ji into his heart, but Wei Ji had not yet put out the strategy and plan of using soldiers.
One day at lunch, Qin Shi Huang looked at the table full of rich food and instructed the people around him: "From now on, I will eat whatever Wei Ji eats, and quickly make the same meal to send a copy to Wei Ji, remember?" The King of Qin and Wei Ji ate together, which attracted the criticism and jealousy of the ministers: Wei Ji had just arrived in the Qin Kingdom and had not yet stepped on the land, so why did the King of Qin respect him so much?
The Qin King's approach was only best understood by Li Si in his heart, and the Qin State was now full of people and all kinds of wastes, and the unification of the world had been put on the agenda. But fighting a war depends on the strength of the army to complete, as the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a marshal is difficult to find. The Qin army is strong and strong, and the generals are like clouds, that is, there is no commander who has military theories, can train the army, can strategize, and can command thousands of troops and horses. Wei Ji was the favorite person that Qin Wang Yingzheng had been looking for, which was why the King of Qin gave Wei Ji such a high treatment.
The more the ministers talked, the more the Qin King Yingzheng gave Wei Ji the highest courtesy, and achieved the true courtesy of corporal Xian. Every time he insisted on treating Wei Ji with equal courtesy, the King of Qin no longer wore gorgeous clothes, but wore the same clothes as Wei Ji. Qin Shi Huang was very humble, and in later contacts, Wei Ji did indeed propose a strategy for the King of Qin to train the army, and the army trained according to his strategy had a tough style and strong combat effectiveness. The King of Qin really had a pair of golden eyes that recognized talents.
As the contact deepened, the King of Qin discovered that Wei Ji was full of military strategy, with the talent of his grandson Wu Qizhi, and advanced military theoretical research. The King of Qin believed that Wei Ji was the commander in his heart who was looking for him for thousands of degrees. In the days that followed, King Yingzheng of Qin insisted on sharing clothes and food with Wei Ji, and almost sat on an equal footing. The King of Qin's excessive courtesy made Wei Ji feel uncomfortable.
The King of Qin found that Wei Ji was full of military strategy and had the talent of his grandson Wu Qizhi
"O King of Qin, the eagle hooks its nose like the tail of a scorpion; its eyes are slender, as sharp as eagle's eyes; and its voice is hoarse, like the cry of a jackal." Such people can share hardships and hardships, not common wealth, and such friends cannot be deeply related. After Wei Ji said this, he quietly fled. Qin Shi Huang, who was grumpy, had a noble status, and no one had ever dared to comment on his appearance and character so insultingly, and the King of Qin did not get angry at all, but immediately sent someone to chase Wei Ji back.
Wei Ji saw the pursuing soldiers and thought in his heart: The King of Qin is indeed a shrewd and decisive person, and he is ready to die. "Why didn't sir say goodbye?" The King of Qin asked Wei Ji in surprise. In order to know that this was the King of Qin giving himself a step, "The King of Qin treated me like a mountain, how could I run away?" I just wanted to hang out. ”
"Sir, I know that you still do not believe me now, but I have absolute trust in sir, and from today I will formally appoint you as a lieutenant of the country, in charge of the army of the whole country, and the training and command of the army has been entrusted to sir." The King of Qin spoke very sincerely.
Guo Wei was the highest military position in the national army, and he was a military division-type talent of the Qin King, who not only formulated strategic plans, but also assisted the Qin King in commanding the army of the whole country. Wei Ji was very touched to see that the King of Qin treated himself so sincerely and trusted himself. "I commented on him like that, insulted him, and quietly fled, and the King of Qin not only did not punish me, but also reused and promoted me, and the soldier died for his confidant, and I did not serve the Qin State. Wei Ji was impressed by the generosity of the King of Qin.
Qin Shi Huang really did not doubt the use of people, and doubtful people did not use them. Wei Ji gained enough power, from formulating military strategies to strictly training the army, the military strength of the Qin State increased greatly, Wei Ji became the most powerful military assistant of the King of Qin, and Wei Ji later wrote his military theory into a military work "Wei Jizi", which was an important military work.
It is really not an accident that Qin Shi Huang was able to unify the six kingdoms and pacify the world, the King of Qin had such a big heart, and the talents of the world did not have the reason to be attached. The legend of Wei Ji and Qin Shi Huang has always been a fan-like existence in Sima Qian's "Records of History".
