Zhang Yi was the face of Qin, and he broke through the Six Kingdoms in a row, so why did he end up fleeing the Qin State?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the war between the nations was a war for hegemony, and the princely states did not aim at destroying the country, and the purpose of the war was to gain recognition, which was called "righteous war". In the Warring States period, all the countries took it as their duty to annex the territory of other countries and eliminate the living forces, and naturally they needed talents from all walks of life. The strength of the Qin state increased greatly after the Shang martingale transformation method, but it was still looked down upon by the nations, but the need for talents in the Qin state was more urgent.
The Warring States is an era of rising together, social classes are highly mobile, and many talented people rely on talent and learning to go to other countries to seek fame, and Zhang Yi is one of them. What Zhang Yi learned was neither a soldier nor a lawyer, nor a Confucian or a Mo family, but an unknown technique of vertical and horizontal, what is the art of vertical and horizontal? To put it bluntly, it is diplomacy, even if it is to unite a group of weak people to fight the strong, and horizontal is to unite the strong to unite the weak to fight the weak. The small art of vertical and horizontal can affect the competition between enterprises today, and can affect the fate of countries, but in its essence, the vertical and horizontal family is nothing more than borrowing strength, and the key is to have a borrowing point.
A zongheng family who can only cross the art is not a good zongheng family. Zhang Yi was born in an aristocratic family but fell in the middle of the family, and in desperation, he immersed himself in studying in the hope of getting ahead, and after he learned the art of vertical and horizontal, he went down the mountain to the Chu State Xiangmen to seek fame. The Minister of Chu was generous, and once held a banquet to drink with the doormen, and when the wine was rising, he took out the world's best jade for everyone to admire, who expected that someone had the audacity to inadvertently steal the treasure jade. The Minister of State was very angry, and everyone was angry, and they were kind enough to entertain everyone and even people with such unclean hands and feet, so everyone reasoned wildly and set their eyes on Zhang Yi, who had sharp teeth.
Zhang Yi actually did not steal jade, although he was shy in his pocket, but he was also a person with a backbone, and he would not do such a despicable thing. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, Zhang Yi is full of talent and likes to boast, which makes everyone jealous, and everyone will naturally suspect Zhang Yi, who likes to be the head bird. He couldn't speak clearly, he was arrested by the Minister of State and imprisoned, he beat him hundreds of times or did not admit that he had stolen jade, and when he saw that he could not hold on to the Minister of State, he let him go. This seemingly unexpected coincidence taught Zhang Yi a truth, being a person should not be out of the head, more importantly, he realized that being a person is far from talented, and it will be thick and dark to survive in society, which is also what every young person who enters the society must learn now.
At that time, the State of Chu, which seemed to be powerful, was actually a scattered sand, and the Wu Qi Reform Law did not liberate the State of Chu from the rule of the old nobles, and the new landlord class had not yet taken root in this land. At the time of Zhang Yi's presence, the Chu State's view of the Mendi was already very deep, and it did not have the strength and courage to unify the Six Kingdoms.
Redefine the "road to the rise" of the Qin state. Zhang Yi was beaten after being misunderstood in the Chu Kingdom, recuperated from his wounds, packed his bags and embarked on the road to Qin with his wife, he understood that the King of Qin was determined to be in the world, and would never be stingy with official positions and wealth, and in the Qin Kingdom he would have room to exert himself. Zhang Yi met with King Huiwen of Qin in the State of Qin, and King Huiwen asked why He had come, Zhang Yi replied that he had come for profit, and King Huiwen asked again if he could give the King of Qin Heli? Zhang Yi replied again that he could give the great king the benefit of the rise of the Qin state. At that time, the strength of the State of Qin after the Shang Martingale Transformation Law was greatly increased, and although it had the upper hand in the battle with the State of Wei for the land of Hexi, the war with the State of Wei fell into a stalemate, which attracted the attention of the eastern countries, and the threat theory of the State of Qin was widely popular. If the State of Qin could not solve this passive diplomatic situation, then the road to the rise of the State of Qin could only be locked in the Hangu Pass by the Six Kingdoms.
Under the situation at that time, the choice of the Qin state would determine the next six-nation relationship. The State of Wei and the State of Qin were deeply resentful, and the war between the two sides lasted for a hundred years, and the competition for land tended to be white-hot. Although South Korea is weak, it has developed iron tools and has a world-wide throat. Although the State of Chu was weak, but its ambitions were not small, if the diplomatic measures were improper, it was likely to cause a joint counterattack by Wei, Han, and Chu, and the other five countries would stir up trouble, and the Qin State would fall into a siege, not only difficult to attack the city, but even to survive.
Zhang Yi prescribed a good medicine for the current situation of the Qin State, and the core was the word "Lianheng", using interests to impress the princely states to make them ally with the Qin State, using their strength to annex small countries, attacking from afar and close attacks, and finally unifying the Qin State. King Huiwen of Qin accepted Zhang Yi's plan and appointed him as a guest secretary, thus beginning Zhang Yi's path of meritorious service with a three-inch tongue.
Zhang Yi's journey to the east, first came to the State of Wei, as the old enemy of the State of Qin, the recovery of the State of Wei is of great importance to the future of the State of Qin. Zhang Yi first explained to King Wei Hui the stakes of offending the State of Qin, and King Hui of Wei agreed, and then proposed to exchange the important town of Puyang and the State of Wei for the State of Qin under the attack of the State of Qin, and the State of Wei, although he could not bear it, agreed because Puyang was very important. Zhang Yi obtained the land of 100 miles west of the Wei state without spending a single soldier, and was greatly treated by the King of Qin, and was subsequently named the minister of state of Qin.
The most important thing to be a person is "cheeky". After Zhang Yi became the minister of state of Qin, the state of Wei followed the state of Qin as a younger brother, but the powerful state of Chu allied with the state of Qi, causing the state of Qin not to dare to attack the state of Qi. In order to persuade the Chu state to withdraw from the Qi-Chu alliance, Zhang Yi personally came to the Chu state to meet the King of Chu, and between three words, he impressed the King of Chu with the six hundred miles of land of the Qin State, and the King of Chu agreed to ally with the State of Qin. Zhang Yi actually did not want to give the Chu state six hundred miles of land at all, and after returning to China, he said that he would not go to the court because of illness.
The king of Chu thought that the severance of diplomatic relations with the State of Qi was not complete enough to satisfy Zhang Yi, so he sent people to the border of the State of Qi to scold the King of Qi, and the King of Qi was indignant and completely broke off diplomatic relations with the State of Chu. When the State of Chu asked Zhang Yi for six hundred miles of land after Qi chu broke off diplomatic relations, Zhang Yi revealed his true colors and said that the State of Chu may have heard it wrong, and what I want to give you is six miles of land, which is really the first person in thick black. In the context of the wars in the Warring States, Zhang Yi's importance to the Qin state is self-evident. In the face of the strategy of the countries to join hands, Zhang Yi took advantage of the interests of various countries to break through the vertical and horizontal, so that the countries joined forces to deal with the disillusionment of the Qin state. The Five Kingdoms cut down the Qin Dynasty, and they could not enter the Hangu Pass, although they knew the Mandate of Heaven, it was not a human affair.
Qin Xiang Zhang Yi wandered among the nations, stirring up the world with three inches of tongue, and in the Qin Kingdom, Qin was heavy, and qin diplomacy was weak when qin was away, and he achieved good achievements by virtue of his personal ability. However, I think that Zhang Yi actually does not have the ability to lead troops to fight, nor can he enrich the country and strengthen the army, and what really achieves his feats is not only his vertical and horizontal skills, but the powerful Qin State behind him. Zhang Yi's success actually shows a very simple truth, personal talent can not achieve their own, the key lies in a good platform, a good wind with strength, in order to send you to the blue sky.
