Four pounds of cattle
At the end of the Warring States Period, the State of Qin became more and more powerful, and the nobles of various princely states tried their best to recruit talents in order to deal with the invasion of the State of Qin and save the demise of their own countries. They honored corporals and recruited guests to expand their power, so the practice of raising "scholars" (including bachelors, strategists, alchemists or warlocks, and diners) was prevalent. At that time, the "soldiers" were known as the Xinling Jun of the State of Wei, the Meng Yujun of the State of Qi, the Pingyuan Jun of the Zhao State, and the Chunshen Jun of the Chu State, because all four of them were princes and nobles (usually the descendants of the kings of the state), which was called the "Four Princes of the Warring States".
Wei Wujie (魏無忌), the head of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States and the half-brother of Wei Yuan, the sixth monarch of the State of Wei, was compiled by him into the Art of War of the Prince of Wei.
Wei Wuji was in the decline of the State of Wei, the State of Wei since the defeat of the Liang Hui King Wei Ling at the time of the Ma Ling, the state of decline, the river decline, while the western neighbor of the Qin State through business martingale transformation law, Zhang Yi slightly, in the world, the emergence of the six kingdoms, there is a trend of annexation of the Six Kingdoms, no country dares to really resist the Qin State, the State of Wei is adjacent to the State of Qin, and the harm of Qin is deeper.
He emulated the auxiliary political methods of Meng Tian Wen and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, recruited diners, raised thousands of soldiers, and became a force of his own. He was a corporal and anxious, and defeated the Qin army twice militarily, saving the Zhao and Wei states respectively.
However, he was repeatedly jealous of the King of Wei and failed to give him a heavy responsibility. In order to break the relationship between Xin Lingjun and the King of Wei, the King of Qin sent people to the State of Wei with Jin Wanjin to pay bribes, find the jin's disciples, and ask them to slander the Xin Lingjun.
The King of Qin sent people several times to pretend to congratulate Xin Lingjun and ask him if he had become the King of Wei. The King of Wei was suspicious because he listened to the rumors. Xin Lingjun said that he was ill and entertained himself day and night with wine. In this way, for four years, he was poisoned by the King of Wei by the king of Wei.
In history, he left a heroic story of "Xin Lingjun stealing charms to save Zhao".
Brief comment: Among the four princes, Xin Lingjun is calm and witty, has the strongest comprehensive ability, and is also very patriotic, so he ranks first.
Second, Plain Jun Zhao Sheng
Zhao Sheng, one of the four princes of the Warring States, was a nobleman of the State of Zhao. Son of King Wuling of Zhao and younger brother of King Huiwen, known for his meritocracy. Sealed in Tobu, the Prince of Pingyuan.
He was a courtesy corporal, with thousands of diners under his door, and handled well with his friends. However, he did not pay attention to the polite treatment of civilians, and then under the guidance of a doorman, he established a good relationship with the civilians, and his prestige was greatly shocked. At first, he was the face of King Huiwen of Zhao, and after the death of King Huiwen of Zhao, he was also the face of King Xiaocheng of Zhao.
In the seventh year of Zhao Xiaocheng's reign, the Qin army entered the Zhao capital Handan, and king Zhao sent Pingyuan Jun to ask Wei and Chu for help. In the ninth year, the diner Mao Sui volunteered to go to the Chu state with Pingyuan Jun to ask for help, persuaded the King of Chu, and sent Chun Shenjun to lead an army to rescue Zhao. This is called "self-nomination".
Before the arrival of reinforcements, the soldiers in Handan City were exhausted, and the Plain King scattered his family wealth and mobilized soldiers to hold the city. Until the Chu army and Wei Xinlingjun reinforcements arrived and relieved the siege of Handan. Although Zhao Pingyuanjun made great contributions, he did not ask the King of Zhao for a seal.
Once, when he was drinking with King Qin Zhao, King Qin Zhao wanted him to kill his friend Wei XiangWei Qi, but he sharply refused. Zhao Xiaocheng died in the fifteenth year. Wu Anjun recounts: "As for the genus of the Plain King, they all ordered their wives and concubines to sew up between the ranks. The subjects are united in their hearts, and they work together from top to bottom, and they are trapped in the time of the meeting. ”
He was famous for his ability to do so, and he once poured out his family to reward diners, and he had to kill 3,000 people, repelled the Qin soldiers for thirty miles, and rescued Handan from water and fire.
Brief comment: Among the four princes, their ability is average in comparison, but their loyalty and patriotism have never wavered, and in general, they rank second.
3. Chunshen Jun Huang Xie
Chun Shenjun (春申君), courtesy name Huang Xie, was a chancellor of the Chu state during the Warring States period and served as a Chu chancellor. Huang Xie traveled to learn and was good at arguing. In the first year of the reign of King Chu Kaolie, huang xie was named chun shen jun. Chun Shenjun was wise and loyal, generous and loving, and was known for his courtesy to corporals, inviting guests, and assisting in governing the country.
When King Xiang of Chu was king, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent the general Bai Qi to lead troops to defeat Korea and the State of Wei, and then joined forces with Han and Wei to jointly attack the State of Chu, and the situation was critical, and King Xiang of Chu sent Chun Shenjun, who could speak eloquently, to the State of Qin to persuade King Zhaoxiang of Qin to retreat.
King Xiang of Chu was seriously ill, and Chun Shenjun designed to make Xiong Quan, the prince of Chu, who remained in the Qin state as a hostage, flee back to the Chu state to take the throne, that is, the king of Chu Kao Lie. King Chu Kao Lie made him his prime minister. When the Qin army besieged Handan, Chun Shenjun led troops to the rescue. Later, he destroyed Lu for the Chu Northern Expedition.
At that time, King Chu Kao Lie was childless, and Chun Shenjun was worried about this. Later, Chun Shenjun married the sister of Li Yuan of the Zhao dynasty. After Li Yuan's sister became pregnant, she was dedicated to King Chu Kaolie, and her son was made crown prince, and Li Yuan's sister was made queen. As a result, Li Yuan gradually gained power and raised dead soldiers, intending to kill Chun Shenjun.
After King Kaolie's illness and death, Li Yuan had people ambushed inside the Thorn Gate and killed Chun Shenjun and his entire family.
He was famous for his eloquence, and once rescued the prince back to the Chu state with his life, and then the prince of the Chu state ascended the throne and made Huang Shen the Prince of Chunshen.
Brief comment: Chun Shenjun is usually a good person, quite benevolent, his ability is definitely not as good as Xin Lingjun, stronger than Pingyuan, I personally think it is also stronger than Meng Tianjun, but there is no Meng Tianjun's fierce hand and black and tyrant nature, that is, the last thing to do is both immoral and weak (do not listen to the advice of the doorman), just rank third.
4. Meng Taste Juntian Wen
Meng Yijun (孟诣君), courtesy name Tian (妫), was one of the four princes of the Warring States of China and a chancellor of the Qi Dynasty. His father, Jingguo JuntianBao, was the half-brother of King Qiwei and King Xuan of Qi, and served as an important military official during the reign of King Qiwei and chancellor of King Qixuan.
When it comes to Meng Tianjun, it is generally necessary to think of the word "chicken singing dog thief" first, Meng Tianjun once went to the Qin Kingdom and could not come back, a doorman went to the Treasury of the Qin Kingdom to steal a fox fur coat and gave it to the qin king's pet concubine to intercede, the king of Qin then released Meng Tianjun, and then repented of sending soldiers to chase Meng Tianjun, Meng Tianjun fled to Hangu Pass when the sky was not yet light, when Hangu Guan was a chicken call switch, in a hurry, there was a doorman who was good at learning chicken barking, after calling a few times, the surrounding chickens followed suit, so they went out of the city smoothly.
After Tian Bao's death, Tian Wenji was located in Xue, for Meng Yujun. Meng Tianjun is famous for recruiting guests and eating three thousand diners, and at the same time, after his death, Meng Tianjun was buried in the northeast corner of xueguo, and his father's tomb was arranged from east to west, which was two of the ancient Xue".
He had thousands of diners and a great reputation, but after being persecuted, he fled to the State of Wei as prime minister, and joined forces with Qin, Zhao and other states to attack the State of Qi.
Brief comment: Ability is there, decisive, unscrupulous, fierce, saying that the good point is the tyrant, the bad point is the big hooligan. No matter how strong the ability is, it is not used on the right path, that is also in vain, Meng Tianjun ranked fourth and did not wronged at all.
