Han Zhao divided Wei, why did it end in failure? King Hui of Wei's luck was not generally good

In the fifth year of King Lie of Zhou, Marquis Wu of Wei died. Since he did not appoint a successor during his lifetime, his two sons, Wei Yao and Wei Huan, fought each other for the throne for a year.

However, whenever there is a struggle for the throne after the death of the monarch, leading to domestic turmoil, it is either because the monarch died violently, did not have time to appoint a successor, and completed the necessary excessive rights. Or it was because the monarch had done too well in order to consolidate his power, and the art of balancing had led to the emergence of two successors of equal strength after his death, and this was the case of Wei Wuhou.

After the division of the three families of Han Zhao and Wei, South Korea belonged to the weakest of the three, but with its excellent diplomatic ability, it was also comfortable in the great power game. The States of Zhao and Wei were of equal strength, attacking each other for many years.

In the seventh year of King Lie's reign, King Wei fled to Korea by mistake. We don't know what kind of political purposes it was, but after Wang mistakenly entered Han, Han Yihou decided to take advantage of wei's civil unrest and raise an army to fight Wei. After all, Korea was weak, so it joined forces with Marquis Zhao Chenghou and fought a big battle with Wei Yu in the place of Huzeze, but the result was that the Wei state was defeated and surrounded.

The fall of the State of Wei was imminent, but Han Zhao had major differences over how to deal with the state of Wei, which was about to be defeated. Marquis Chenghou of Zhao advocated killing the powerful Wei Yao, making Wei Huan the monarch, and then forcing Wei Huan to cut off the land. However, Han Yihou did not agree, not only did not agree, but also gave a grandiose, full of benevolence and morality: Killing the monarch of the State of Wei is an act of violence, taking advantage of the danger of people to cut the land, it is an act of greed, we should divide the State of Wei into two, into a small country like Song and Wei, so that we will no longer have hidden dangers from the State of Wei. The final result was that the two sides did not negotiate properly, Han Yihou withdrew his troops overnight, and Zhao Chenghou was unable to support himself, and he also withdrew and returned to China.

Judging from the propositions of the Han and Zhao families, Zhao Chenghou was undoubtedly an ambitious person. The two countries joined forces to kill the powerful Wei Yu and divided the land in two places. The remaining weak Wei Huan was also in the bag sooner or later. Moreover, Zhao Wei had been attacking each other for many years, and such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could not be easily missed. On the other hand, South Korea originally did not have any deep hatred with Wei Guo, and he advocated splitting Wei Guo, in fact, he also sided with Wei Yao, because he knew that if there was no third-party interference, Wei Huan would not be Wei Yao's opponent at all. Once he agreed with Zhao Chenghou's proposition and joined forces to destroy Wei Yao, then Zhao Guo's next target was Wei Huan, and when Zhao Guo took the victorious division and raised troops to attack Han, the consequences were unimaginable.

The final state of affairs was also as Han Yihou had expected, and without the interference of a third party, Wei Yao quickly defeated Wei Huan, who was the future King of Wei Hui.
