Introduction: "Three Families Divided into Jin" is a famous event in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State, which has always claimed to be the overlord of the Central Plains, was divided between the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, and the three branches of Jin were regarded as "the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States", and thus the chapter of the Warring States Era began in the land of China.
However, in history, the division of the Jin dynasty was actually four, not three. What's going on? Listen to me slowly.
1. The Jin Dynasty has no office and the Secretary of State is in power
After the "Li Ji Rebellion" during the Jin Dynasty, the State of Jin adopted a policy of suppression against the royal princes of the State of Jin. Gongzi and Gongsun were no longer made nobles. Later, the Jin state began to establish a system of public secretaries, and the public secretaries became the ruling class of the Jin state. By the time of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was in decline, and the Qing Doctors with different surnames began to rise slowly.
By the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Dynasty was controlled by more than a dozen Qing Dafu, who each had a fief and controlled the army, often attacking each other. By the late Spring and Autumn Period, only Zhao, Wei, Han, Fan, and Others were left in the Jin Dynasty.

The six families of the Zhonghang clan are called "Six Qing".
By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Fan clan and the Zhonghang clan were destroyed. At this time, only the Jin state remained
, Zhao, Wei, and Han. Among them, the Zhi family is the strongest, Zhao, Han, and Wei are all attached to the Zhi family, and the Zhi family is also the most likely to steal the Jin room.
At that time, Zhi was in charge of the Jin Dynasty

Asking for land, the two families feared the strength of the Zhi clan and had to agree.
Zhao Xiangzi
However, he refused, and then the Zhi clan threatened the Han and Wei families to send troops to help attack the Zhao family. As a result, the "Battle of Jinyang", which affected the direction of history, broke out.
2. The Battle of Jinyang
Faced with the attacks of the other three families, the Zhao family decided to retreat to their hometown of Jinyang. Jinyang, as the birthplace of the Zhao clan, was built by the Zhao clan like an iron barrel, with strong walls, abundant grain and grass weapons in the city, and the local residents are working together to defend their homeland. When Zhi Boyao's coalition forces attacked Jinyang, the Zhao army relied on the fortifications of the city wall and held out for three months.
In order to end the war as soon as possible, Zhi Boyao dug open

Jinyang City
。 The flood flooded the city for more than a year. Life in the city is very difficult, and food is about to be cut off. People were cooking in cauldrons, building tents to live, soldiers' physical strength was declining, and the idea of surrendering and fleeing among the courtiers was also increasing day by day; the situation in Jinyang was extremely grim.
At this time, the Zhao clan sent Zhang Mengtan to the Han and Wei families to persuade them to plot against han and Wei against Ge Fazhi, and the three families divided the Territory of the Zhijia equally. The Han and Wei families were forced to attack the Zhao clan because of the strength of the Zhi family. Now persuaded by Zhang Mengtan, he immediately decided to oppose Ge And attack Zhi. Under the siege of the Han, Zhao, and Wei families, the Zhi clan perished. Together, the three families divided up the land of the Chi clan.
At this point, the Jin state was completely controlled by the three families of Han Zhao and Wei, and later, the Zhou royal family each sealed three families as princes, at this time the Jin state, the behemoth of the Central Plains, completely disappeared. In its place were the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei.
Three, three families divided into Jin, cheapened the Qin state
As the largest country in the Central Plains, the Jin Dynasty has always relied on its strong national strength to deter other countries. Before the three families were divided into Jin, the entire Spring and Autumn Period can be said to be the main battlefield of the Jin and Chu countries. During the heyday of the Jin Dynasty, it not only suppressed the State of Qi and made it difficult for it to regain its hegemony, but also forced the State of Qin to dare not expand to the east, but could only use troops to the west. The Jin kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period was like a needle that fixed the sea god, making it difficult for other countries to shake.
However, after the three families were promoted, the situation changed. The three families of Han Zhao and Wei established their own vassal states. Although the State of Wei was the most powerful because it inherited the mantle of the State of Jin in the early Warring States period, the State of Qin did not dare to go east to Hangu Pass, but it only lasted for a few decades. The entanglement of interests between the three families is becoming more and more serious, and it is difficult to maintain unity. During the reign of King Hui of Wei, the State of Wei attacked Korea and the State of Zhao.
The mutual attack between the three families brought an opportunity to the State of Qin, and the State of Wei attacked the State of Zhao, resulting in the Outbreak of the Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei, the elite of the State of Wei was lost, and the State of Qin took the opportunity to seize the land of Hexi. In the middle of the Warring States period, the Wei and Zhao families attacked Korea, and let the Qin state take the opportunity to win the Battle of Huayang.
4. Summary
As the "Battle of Jinyang" in the three Jin-Jin incidents, it can be said that it is an important war that can fully affect history. If the Zhao clan was destroyed in the war, the Zhi clan would further eliminate the Han and Wei families and unify the Jin state. A unified Jin state was a boulder that was difficult for the Qin state to pry. As long as the Jin state existed for one day, the Qin state would never be able to go east out of The Valley Pass and unify the world.
It can be said that the three families were divided into Jin, which opened the way for the Qin State to go out of the east. It swept away the strongest opponent for the future rise of the Qin state.
