At the beginning of the Warring States, zhiyao, who used the policy of big sticks and radishes to deter the country from the outside world and the internal deterrence of the army, already had the tendency to swallow the Jin dynasty alone. At this time, Zhao Martin was dead, the momentum of the three armies had dispersed, and although the Jin Emperor had made new policies, he had actually become a puppet, and it was difficult to stop the decadence of the Jin state.
At this time, Han Hu was weak, Wei Ju was afraid of soldiers, and Zhao Wuxian was powerful but not enough to resist Zhi Yao. A few years ago, Zhi Yao had already defeated Qi many times with wisdom and strength to accumulate prestige, and in the name of Jin Jun, he cut the Han Wei fiefdom to make up for his position, but when it came to the Zhao clan, Zhao wuxian did not allow it. At this moment, Zhao Wuxi's heart was worried, and Zhi Yao was also in his wisdom, confirming the correctness of his tiger and wolf theory and the policy of big sticks and turnips.
What is the tiger and wolf theory is actually the primary strategy of the big stick and radish policy. All animals are intimidated by the tiger and wolf, and if they encounter it, they will yield, and the tiger and wolf can be deterred, and they can use their claws and fangs to defeat it, but if people want to achieve this effect, they are much more complicated, and they are intimidated, and if they do not use their benefits, they will inevitably make them jealous for a long time, but if they endanger their lives, they can also be weak as cunning rabbits. This is where the big stick and radish policy comes in handy.
Zhi Yao also did this, first in the name of Qi's repeated invasion of the Zhao family, with merit, in order to mold its prestige. Battle one, leading the Zhijia army to fight Qi, the horse was shocked into the Qi tent, the strategists were terrified, but Zhi Yao was calm and self-assured, and ordered to follow the horse into the account, Qin and Jin fought for many years, Qi Duo was defeated, so he was afraid that It was Zhi Yao's strategy, and did not dare to attack, the Zhi Family Army was still suspicious of the talent and courage of the new commander at the beginning, seeing that the commander was so brave, it was because the morale of the Qi army was high and then charged, so many times, the morale of the Qi army was low, the commander could not make up his mind, and the morale of the Zhi army was high, so the Zhi army won. Zhi Yao Qi General, it is not that I want to beat you, I am entrusted by Zhao Martin, I don't want to, but Zhao Martin is the commander of the three armies, so the Qi people are jealous of the Zhao family.
After Zhi Yao returned to China, his reputation rose, and at the same time he established his prestige in the heart of the Zhi family army, so he began to integrate internally, at this time, the power of the Jin state was in danger, and the clear-eyed people could see that sooner or later the Jin state would fall into the hands of the four families of Han Zhao and Wei Zhi, of which the Zhi family was the strongest. For hunters, if they are similar in strength, they will share the food, and if one party is dominant, the larger one will want to swallow it alone.
However, when the single party threatens the lives of the three parties, the other three parties may inevitably unite to strike at it.
At first, Zhi Yao adopted the name of the Duke of Jin to cut the fiefdom for encroaching on the three families of Han Zhao and Wei. By the time the Jin Dynasty arrived at the Duke of Jin, it was already emptied by the powerful ministers, and the king already had few fiefs, and even borrowed money and grain from the four powerful ministers many times to survive.
Zhi Yao then used the banner of loyalty and patriotism to suggest that all four families should dedicate their fiefs to the Duke of Jin, so that the people of the world would know their loyalty. However, the land and population acquired by the Jin Dynasty were temporarily taken care of by the Zhijia. This strategy is good, that is, ming weakens your power, commonly known as cutting sausages, see where your bottom line is, if you agree, then he will continue to cut, do not agree, then he can take another strategy to kill you.
Unsurprisingly, Han Hu Wei Ju agreed, zhao Wuxi did not agree, after all, The Han clan was the smallest in the local area, the weakest military strength, although the Wei clan was a little stronger than the Han clan, but there was still a gap between the Zhi And Zhao families. This kind of result was expected by Zhi Yao, so the "big stick plus radish" policy went online, secretly meeting Han Wei on the phone, first of all, highly praised the Han and Wei families for not forgetting the idea of loyalty to the monarch, and at the same time severely criticized Zhao Wuxi's dirty behavior of forgetting his original and not loving the king. Then tell the two families that the heart of the two of you has seen, as for the population of ten thousand fiefdoms, how can you let the two families out, as the big brother I myself out on the line, the big brother is the little brother encountered something, the big brother helped you resist, and also told the two families that I am ready to destroy the Zhao clan, you two don't move around, follow me not only safely and wait for me to destroy Zhao, will give you meat, the two families are ecstatic, although Zhi Yao This person is more violent, but follow himself without working and eating meat, and this person is righteous, which country around them moves them, Zhi Yao always personally taught a lesson, what a good big brother, the two families were moved.
After Zhi Yao got the two families, Zhao Wuxi already understood that the time for a decisive battle had arrived, so he asked Zhang Mengtan, Jinyang and Handan, which one could be defended, Zhang Mengtan said that Handan, although superficially rich, but corrupt officials skinned, although the people were superficially rich, the city was strong, but in fact it had long been hollowed out, if you choose this place, there is no Zhi Yao to kill, internal fear of military chaos. And the people of Jinyang have been stable for many years, although they have not been at war for a long time, but they are rich in the people, if the enemy attacks the city, the people will fight to the death, after all, if they change the leader, their stable days can no longer have, so Zhao Wuxi chose Jinyang.
When he first arrived in Jinyang, Zhao Wuxian saw that there was no defender of the enemy's city wall, the military system was scattered, even the spear of battle was small, and he was afraid in his heart, so Zhang Mengtan said that there was nothing to have, so he ordered people to build it, and it would be completed in a few days, until the three families of Zhiyao Han Hu Wei Ju were killed, and at this time Jinyang City was solid. Zhi Yao attacked the city many times, and the people of Jinyang swore to die in a battle, but they did not fight, because the heart of the army was somewhat scattered. So the terrain was filled with fenshui to irrigate Jinyang, the water flooded, Jinyang was dead, and the people's soldiers were killed and wounded, but they still did not fall, so it took several months, and the people of Jinyang already had no intention of fighting, and wanted to surrender, but the water outside the city was too deep to go.
Zhi Yao then opened a celebration banquet in advance, and intentionally or unintentionally told the Han and Wei families at the banquet that water is really a good thing, it can flood Jinyang, or it can flood other places, this sentence is naked to tell the Han and Wei families, your life is in my hands, this sentence may be That Zhi Yao feels that the Han and Wei families are no threat, and what he said, but he wanted his life.
Zhang Mengtan asked Zhao Wuxian to go to Han Wei for help, and at the same time surrendered to Zhi Yao under false pretenses, seeing Han Wei, he was still afraid of Zhi Yao, saying that the pros and cons, the two families were just afraid that they had not yet made up their minds, so they went to see Zhi Yao again, and the two families were also there, pretending to lower Zhi Yao, to deceive the two families, and the two families saw that the conspiracy was revealed, and they were afraid that Zhi Yao would be destroyed, so they decided to cooperate inside and outside to destroy the Zhi family.
The Zhao family fraudulently opened the door, and after the Han and Wei families attacked from behind, the Zhi family was finally destroyed.
After Ran Zhiyao's death, the chivalrous Yu Rang was grateful for his kindness, he had assassinated Zhao Wuxi many times, but without success, so he swallowed carbon, rotting corpses to take revenge again, but Zhao Wuxi had already sent people to follow him, one day Zhao Wuxi traveled, Ma was surprised to see a beggar on the side of the road, Zhao Wuxi looked at the laughter, where there was a beggar sword, and said that I had many times not to bear to kill you, is that I think you are loyal to you, but why don't you want to follow me, I can give you what Zhi Yao gave you, Yu Rang said, loyal to the two lords, so suicide, Zhao Wuxi mourned and buried it, so Yu Rang got the name, Zhao Wuyi won the sage, but peeling off the surface of the Zhao shirtless sage was thicker and darker.
