How high the wisdom of the ancient Chinese monarchs and warriors was, and how they were able to achieve their ultimate goals step by step without being fully known, the 3 most famous Yang plots in history are proof of this, and today we will take a look at one of these examples.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > 3 of Qi Jinggong's tough generals</h1>
The story begins in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the world was not yet as frequently war-torn as in later generations, and the literati and warriors of various countries were still guarding their ideals and beliefs.
In the State of Qi, there were three people who had been pursuing force and status all their lives, they were Gu Yezi, Tian Kaijiang, and Gongsun Jie, and because of their courage to fight against the tiger, they were recruited by Qi Jinggong as courtiers.
At that time, the three people thought that the world was invincible, so they were very proud, and once the State of Qi Xiangguo Yanzi met three people on the road, and Yanzi, who was a xiangguo, took the initiative to salute, but the three people actually seemed to have not seen it, and walked away.
Such an act soon angered Xiangguo Yanzi, so a yang plot praised by later generations began to brew quietly.

Therefore, Yan Zi specially went to see Qi Jinggong, and in the face of Qi Jinggong Yanzi said bluntly that the king of Mingde should raise a warrior, and he must have the courtesy of the king and the subordinate, and the order of the elder and the young to the inferior, to prohibit violence at home, and to be able to deter the enemy, to contribute to the country, and to make the subjects admire, so it is worth letting them occupy a high position.
However, now the warriors under the king do not have the slightest courtesy and righteousness of the monarch, nor the order of the elders and the young, nor can they forbid violence, nor can they deter foreign enemies.
Yan Zi's words were very sharp, he first laid out Ming Jun's approach, through preconceived methods to make Qi Jinggong believe that these three people were a scourge of the state, and then gave a solution, that is, to eradicate them.
However, Qi Jinggong was also a king of one side after all, and would not make a decision because of Yan Zi's three words and two words, but it was not good to brush Yan Zi's face, so he had to say, "The three sons, the fear of fighting, the fear of stabbing is not hit."
Qi Jinggong believed that these three people were strong in martial arts, and it was probably impossible to fight with them, even if they were to assassinate them, they might fail.
At this time, Yan Zi had actually obtained the permission of Qi Jinggong, so he said that he had already planned.

After that, Qi Jinggong gathered three people, and Yan Zi told them that there were only two peaches, and if they were to be distributed according to the size of the three people's merits, one person was bound to be unable to share the peaches.
After listening to this passage, Gongsun Jie instantly saw through Yan Zi's Yang Plot, and he looked up to the sky and sighed to express his admiration for Yan Zi's strategy, but Gongsun Jie was also a strong and competitive person, and after breaking Yan Zi's Yang Plot, he said that he had defeated the tiger and had a great merit, so he preemptively took a peach.
Immediately after, Tian Kaijiang also said that he had once defeated the enemy army with a weapon, and his credit was not small, so he also took a peach.
Gu Yezi saw that the two had snatched the peaches one after another, and angrily said that he had once fought with the giant turtle in the great rivers in order to save Qi Jinggong, and at that time, the people on the shore thought that the river god had come, so could he not get the peaches?
After hearing these words, Gongsun Jie and Tian Kaijiang expressed great shame, saying that their merit and bravery were not as good as Gu Yezi, so they gave the peaches to Gu Yezi, and then drew their swords and killed themselves.
Seeing his partner commit suicide, Gu Yezi also woke up, saying that it was unjust for him to compete with his brother for credit, it was unkind to force his brother to die, and it was not courageous to kill his friend when he died and steal his life, so he also drew his sword and killed himself.
Since then, Yan Zi has effortlessly eliminated the three powerful generals of Kong Wu, and this allusion to killing three soldiers has become one of the most well-known Yang schemes in Chinese history.
