The State of Wei should be said to be one of the first countries to change the law during the Warring States period, but according to the historical records, Qin extinguished Wei with only ten words, and if Qin destroyed Wei by flooding, the State of Wei later perished. It can be seen from this that it did not take much effort for the State of Qin to destroy the State of Wei, and the State of Wei did not exert much resistance. So as one of the countries that could survive to the late Warring States period, why was the State of Wei easily destroyed by the State of Qin? To solve this problem is actually to solve how the Wei state gradually went into decline.
The decline of the Wei state was marked by the massive loss of talents, such as Shang Martin and Wu Qi. The large loss of talent lies in the misjudgment of the leader, and the King of Zhao reused villains and ignored talents, especially the departure of Shang Martin, which strengthened the Qin state and weakened the Zhao state. At that time, Shang Martin came to Wei from Wei guo to show his ambitions, but he was not welcomed by the King of Wei, who had a favorite courtier named Gongsun Huan, who recommended Shang Martingale to the King of Wei before his death, saying that if shang martingale was not reused, then the other shang martingale left the Wei state, and must get rid of the shang martingale.
Although Gongsun Huan said something from the bottom of his heart, king Wei did not take it seriously. Later, after Gongsun Huan saw that the King of Wei was not impressed, he told Shang Martin what he said to the King of Wei, and asked Shang Martin to quickly look for the Ming Lord. However, Shang Martin not only did not leave when he heard this, but also told Gongsun That since the King of Wei would not listen to him, he would not get rid of himself. Sure enough, the King of Wei not only did not listen to Gongsun Acne's advice, but also did not get rid of Shang Martingale. Later, Shang Martin defected to the King of Qin and helped the King of Qin become stronger. This example shows that King Wei was a person who did not attach importance to talents, and it was still super talents that were released, such as Shang Martin, Wu Qi and others.
If Shang Martin and others were politicians, then the State of Wei also lost a lot of general talents, such as Sun Bing, Who initially wanted to defect to Pang Juan of the State of Wei, but because of Pang Juan's jealousy, Sun Zhen was criticized in the State of Wei, and later the emissaries of the State of Qi came to the State of Wei, and Sun Zhen took the opportunity to follow the emissaries to the State of Qi. And gave a lot of credit to the state of Qi. Sun Bin can be described as a genius in the military world, and as a result, the Wei state lost a large number of talents in both political and military terms.
In addition to the talents mentioned above, there is another important figure in the State of Wei who was eliminated by the State of Wei, this person is xinlingjun who has saved the zhao state many times, of course, the xinlingjun saved the zhao state also to save himself. The relationship between Xin Lingjun and the King of Wei was half-brother, but the State of Wei borrowed the Letter Lingjun very much, and because of the anti-plot of the State of Qin, there was no longer a Letter Lingjun in the State of Wei. To know how much the loss of Xin Lingjun was for the State of Wei, Xin Lingjun had once saved the State of Zhao and organized the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin, and the State of Qin was quite worried that the XinLingjun had been in the State of Wei, so it used the reverse plan to frame the Xinlingjun. Of course, a large part of the reason why Xin Lingjun had such a fate was due to the reason of the King of Wei, who was very jealous of Xin Lingjun's talent at the beginning, so in the heart of the King of Wei, xin Lingjun was not trustworthy, and as soon as outsiders provoked, the King of Wei would immediately take the bait and punish Xin Lingjun.
Under the leadership of the leaders of the State of Wei, the State of Wei gradually lost a large number of talents, including top talents like Shang Martin, military geniuses like Sun Zhen, and even loyal subjects like Xin Lingjun who were devoted to Wei, but due to the confusion of the leaders of the State of Wei, it led to the decline of the State of Wei, and the decline of the State of Wei gave the State of Qin the opportunity to destroy the State of Wei. And the demise of the State of Wei was fundamentally due to its own reasons, not external causes. Talent was a very important force in the Warring States period, and the leaders of the State of Wei did not see this, but did not have the vision of Bo Le, which showed the reason for the inevitable demise of the State of Wei, and also set off the reason why the State of Qin was able to and complete the great cause of reunification.
