In 340 BC, Shang Martin was ordered to lead an army to attack the State of Wei, and the State of Wei sent Gongzi Di to resist.
When the two armies faced each other, Shang Martin wrote to Gongzi Di and said, "I had a good friendship with Gongzi at that time, and now that we have become the main generals of the two armies, I really can't bear to attack and kill each other." We can meet and swear an alliance with each other, drink freely, and then strike the troops back to China, so that the people of the Qin and Wei states can rest assured. ”
The prince believed that it was true and went to the meeting. While the two sides were about to swear an oath and were drinking, Shang Martin suddenly ordered Jia Shi to rush in and capture Gongzi Jiao, and then took advantage of the situation to attack the Wei army and defeat it (Shang Martin defeated the State of Wei by fraudulent means).
When King Hui of Wei heard the news of the defeat, he was very frightened and sighed, "I really regret killing Gongsun Martin when I didn't listen to Uncle Gong's words!" "I had to dedicate the territory around Hexi to the Qin state to seek peace, and also moved the capital from Anyi to Daliang."
Two years later, in 338 BC, Duke Xiao of Qin died, and his son took the throne as King Huiwen of Qin. King Huiwen of Qin's uncle Gongzi Qian instructed his men to frame Shang Martin for rebellion and sent officials to capture Shang Martin.
Shang Martin hurriedly fled to the State of Wei, but the People of Wei refused to accept him and sent him back to the State of Qin. As a result, Shang Martin was beheaded by the Qin army, the car was split and the body was split, and the whole family was killed.
After Shang Martingale, Zhang Yi also used fraudulent means against the State of Wei.
In 328 BC, Zhang Yi and Gongzi Hua of the State of Qin led an army to capture the State of Wei, after which Zhang Yi suggested that King Hui of Qin return Puyang to the State of Wei and send Gongzi Sui to the State of Wei as a hostage, and then Zhang Yi took the opportunity to persuade the King of Wei, You see, the State of Qin treated the State of Wei so leniently, the State of Wei could not fail to repay him with courtesy. After Some foolishness by Zhang Yi, the State of Wei later indeed dedicated the fifteen counties of Shangjun and Shaoliang to the State of Qin in return for the King of Qin.
A few years later, the State of Wei allied itself with Korea against the State of Qin. King Hui of Qin was furious and sent Zhang Yi to lead an army to capture The Wei state of Shaanxi County. However, after Zhang Yi captured Shaanxi County, he returned all the Wei people there to the State of Wei in exchange for wei's trust in him. As a result, Zhang Yi naturally became the minister of state of Wei.
This was actually a conspiracy between King Hui of Qin and Zhang Yi, with the aim of allowing Zhang Yi to sabotage the alliance between the State of Wei and the other states. Therefore, when Zhang Yi was serving as the minister of state of Wei, he saw an opportunity to persuade the King of Wei to take the lead in serving the state of Qin and set a "good example" for other princely states.
Although King Hui of Wei was not as talented as his grandfather Wei Wenhou, he still had some backbone in safeguarding the interests of the state, so he categorically rejected Zhang Yi's suggestion. When King Hui of Qin learned that Zhang Yi's lobbying had failed, Wen's failure to do so came to Wu and immediately sent troops to capture the Wei state of Quwo and Pingzhou.
In 319 BC, King Hui of Wei died and was succeeded by King Xiang of Wei.
The king of the State of Wei was really a nine-pound old lady—one generation was not as good as another. Marquis Wu of Wei was inferior to Marquis Wen of Wei, King Hui of Wei was inferior to Marquis Wu of Wei, and King Xiang of Wei was inferior to King Hui of Wei. After King Xiang of Wei ascended the throne, Zhang Yi again lobbied King Xiang of Wei to withdraw from the Alliance and submit to the State of Qin. King Xiang of Wei readily agreed, announcing that the State of Wei had withdrawn from the Alliance and asking Zhang Yi to act as an intermediary to reconcile with the State of Qin.
Zhang Yi successfully fooled King Xiang of Wei, successfully completed the task of cracking the hezhong, returned to the Qin State, and re-served as the Minister of State of qin.
In a word, just like the consultation, Zhang Yi had also dealt with Wei Guo fraudulently, and more than once. But interestingly, the Wei people did not seem to hate Zhang Yi as much as they hated Shang Martin.
After the death of King Hui of Qin, King Wu of Qin took the throne. King Wu of Qin advocated force and did not like such a zongheng family as Zhang Yi who relied on "playing tricks", so after he ascended the throne, some courtiers of the Qin state took the opportunity to frame Zhang Yi in front of him.
At the same time, because Zhang Yi had previously lobbied the states of Chu, Han, Zhao, Qi, and Yan to join forces with the State of Qin and sabotage the alliance, the King of Qi of the State of Qi was very angry, claiming that whichever country dared to take Zhang Yi in, the State of Qi would send troops to attack which country.
Faced with internal and external difficulties, Zhang Yi was also very afraid. In order to protect himself, Zhang Yi begged King Wu of Qin to let him go to the State of Wei.
Zhang Yi came to the State of Wei, and the State of Qi did indeed send troops to attack Wei, and the King of Wei was very frightened. Zhang Yi comforted King Wei and said, "Don't worry, Great King! I have my own way to make the State of Qi retreat. ”
Originally, while going to the State of Wei, Zhang Yi sent his own men down to the State of Chu, and then told the King of Qi through the envoys of the State of Chu: "Zhang Yi's departure from the State of Qin was originally a plan made with the King of Qin, with the purpose of making Qi and Wei attack each other, and the State of Qin took the opportunity to seize the land of Sanchuan. Now the Great King, you sent an army to attack the State of Wei, hurting the people at home and the people, and making enemies against neighboring countries, but Zhang Yi regained the trust of the King of Qin. ”
The King of Qi listened, and indeed ordered the retreat to return home. Zhang Yi therefore served as minister of state in the State of Wei for a year until his death.
When Shang Martin and Zhang Yi could not stay in the Qin State, they both thought of the State of Wei first, but the attitude of the Wei people towards Shang Martin and Zhang Yi was completely different. When Shang Martin wanted to enter the State of Wei, the People of Wei not only refused, but also drove Shang Martin back to the State of Qin, so that Shang Martin was eventually divided by the five horses of the State of Qin; and when Zhang Yi came to the State of Wei, the People of Wei not only did not hate Zhang Yi, but also made Zhang Yi the Minister of State.
Why?
This is related to the style of Shang Martin and Zhang Yi. The martingale is a lawyer and often leaves no room for doing things. He deceived the duke of wei, defeated the Wei army, forced the State of Wei to cut up the land and seek peace, and moved the capital to avoid concessions, which was the case; and Zhang Yi was a Zongheng family, and often paid attention to the left and right of fengyuan, so although Zhang Yi also led troops to attack the cities and pools of the State of Wei, but every time after occupying the cities and pools of the State of Wei, Zhang Yi either returned the land or returned the people, and there was nothing to do.
As the saying goes, be a person to leave a line, and see each other in the future. The historical status of Shang Martingale is naturally incomparable to Zhang Yi, but Shang Martingale is too desperate to do things, and eventually ends up in a tragic end, but in terms of self-protection, it is inferior to Zhang Yi.
