In 627 BC, the Battle of Qin and Jin (Xiáo) broke out, and as a result, the Jin state was completely victorious, and the entire army of the Qin state was destroyed. The Qin state's plan to expand eastward was crushed. (Kunshan, also known as Kunling, mountain name, in present-day western Henan)
In 623 BC, the Qin army sent troops to Xirong, and the Qin army quickly sent troops to besiege Mianzhu (in present-day eastern Tianshui, Gansu), and captured the mianju kings alive before Mianzhu could react. Qin Mugong continued to attack Xi rong, and more than twenty small rongdi states around him saw that the Qin army was so brave in battle, and surrendered to the qin state one after another, which was known in history as "Qin Mugong hegemonic Xi Rong".

In the era of Qin Mugong (682 BC - 621 BC), the Qin state was strong, second to the Jin, Chu, and Qi states, and was in the second echelon.
In 628 BC, Duke Wen of Jin died.
Mu Gong wanted to take this opportunity to enter the Central Plains to expand his territory. Unexpectedly, at the Battle of Kunshan in Qin and Jin, the Qin army was completely annihilated by the Jin state, and the plan to march into the Central Plains was crushed by the Jin state.
Qin Mugong was not satisfied, and then made many attempts, with little success. Since the resistance to the eastward march into the Central Plains was too great, it was simply necessary to adjust the strategy and turn west to xirong.
So, what was the scene of Xi Rong at this time?
In fact, when the Zhou Dynasty was first established, Xirong still belonged to the territory of the Zhou.
During the reign of King You of Zhou, King You of Zhou deposed Shen Hou (the heroine of the Princes of Beacon Theatre), and Emperor Shen's father, Hou Shen, borrowed troops from Xi Rong to attack Ho Jing.
Inuyasha in Xi rong invaded Hojing and killed King Youwang of Zhou and a large number of officials, and Hokage became dilapidated for a while like hell on earth, which is the historical "Inuyasha Zhou".
After King Ping of Zhou ascended the throne, in order to escape Xi Rong, he moved the capital to Luoyi (present-day Luoyang) in 770 BC and established Eastern Zhou, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was officially declared extinct.

Xi Rong subverted the rule of Western Zhou, and the military strength could be described as extremely strong. With such a powerful army, the 12 inuyasha states under his rule were conquered by Qin Mugong in a short period of time, and the territory of the Qin state advanced thousands of miles to the west. So how did Qin Mugong do it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >02 Counselor Yu</h1>
Qin Mugong's strategy was clear, first strong and then weak, breaking through one by one, and mianzhu closest to the Qin state became the primary target.
At that time, among the tribes of Xirong, Yiqu, Dali, and Mianzhu were the strongest, and geographically, Mianzhu bordered the Qin State, and if they wanted to march west, Mianzhu was the primary obstacle and must be taken first.
Coincidentally, the Mian kings were also very interested in the Qin state at this time. Secretly sent an envoy who knew Chinese, Yu Yu, to the Qin State to inquire about military information and wanted to grasp the military strength of the Qin State.
Yu Yu was known for his strategy, and this kind of person was a proper talent at that time, and he also knew the Central Plains script. Although Qin Mugong was planning to conquer Mianzhu in his heart, at that time, the Qin state had a low military strength, and Mianzhu was strong in combat, so Qin Mugong had no bottom in his heart.
Yu Yu's arrival made him have a plan, Yu Yu was familiar with the situation in Xi Rong, if he could win a talent like Yu Yu, then the odds of winning would be greatly enhanced.
So Qin Mugong took the first step in conquering Xi rong, conquering Yu Yu.
Qin Mugong invited Yu yu to the palace for a warm hospitality, and the beautiful woman of the fragrant car was sent in a big way. Retained by Yu Mugong's enthusiasm, he lived in the Qin Kingdom, and this stay was more than a year.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >03 overwhelming beauty count</h1>
In this more than a year, Qin Mugong actively wooed Yu Yu on the one hand, on the other hand, he sent sugar-coated cannonballs to the Mian kings, and 16 beautiful female musicians sent to the mian kings' tents.
For the first time, the kings of the wild mian enjoyed such beauty in the human world, and staged "since then the king has not been early in the dynasty". The affairs of the tribe were left behind, and they were bent on pleasure, and Mianzhu Rong also began to decline rapidly.
Yu Yuhui, who returned to his homeland a year later, was surprised. The once powerful tribe has now become decayed, and after finding out the reason, Yu Yu has repeatedly advised the Mian kings, but the Mian kings who are addicted to the gentle countryside cannot listen to it at all, but instead dislike Yu Yu.
Repeated exhortations were rebuked, and Yu gradually became discouraged. Coupled with the continuous overtures on the side of Qin Mugong, Yu Yu finally made up his mind to join the camp of Qin Mugong and help Qin Mugong in his crusade against Xi Rong.
Qin Mugong began to fight against Xi Rong, and the strategy given by Yu was to first send troops to guard the Guanlong Ancient Road, and then attack Mianzhu with heavy troops, take the strongest tribe, and then gradually conquer the other small and medium-sized tribes in the surrounding areas, and integrate them into counties of the Qin state.
Then impose management and indoctrination on these places, so that these fierce tribes can be transformed into the main source of soldiers for the Qin army in the future, and further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

In this way, the State of Qin successfully softened the Mian kings with the beauty meter, and at the same time used the divisive meter to obtain the outstanding talent of Yu Yu.

In 623 BC, Duke Mu of Qin personally led a large army and sent troops to Mianzhu.
Three hundred chariots and phalanx troops marched up along the WeiShui River. Commanded by the general Baili Xi and advised by Yu, the Qin army advanced westward, destroying the decay all the way, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, reaching the tents of the Mian kings. The kings were pulled out of their tents and beheaded under their horses. After taking Mianzhu, the goal of conquering Xijung was already half completed.
In this battle, Qin Mugong's might shook the world.
The Fifth Book of History of Qin Benji contains:
"The Son of Heaven summoned the Duke of He Miao to a golden drum."
Even Zhou Tianzi knew about it and sent someone to send a golden drum in recognition of his exploits.
Conclusion: In the Battle of Xirong, Qin Mugong won a great victory, and in the case of abandoning the Central Plains, he became the third hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period by moving westward, so that the Qin State stabilized the source of troops and the territory moved west into thousands of miles, laying the foundation for the future unification of hegemony.
