The story of Qin Shi Huang's success in establishing the Qin Dynasty, do we pay attention to the fact that he stood on the shoulders of the previous monarch? Over the years, the State of Qin has become a powerful country, and Qin Shi Huang's grandfather, King Qin Zhao, is also one of the powerful and skillful monarchs. King Qin Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan together designed to eliminate the Yiqu, relieve the country's crisis, and obtain military materials. The experiences of Ying Zheng and King Qin Zhao were very similar, both had no real power at the beginning of their accession to the throne and were in a passive position. As Huan Zheng's grandfather, Huan Ji was sent to the Yan Kingdom as a hostage, and after the unexpected death of King Wu of Qin, he successfully ascended to the throne with the help of his biological mother Empress Dowager Xuan. This story tells us that the efforts and struggles of successive monarchs laid a solid foundation for the rise of the Qin state. In the face of the Yiqu state in the western region, King Qin Zhao also took action to retake the occupied city. It can be said that Qin Shi Huang was able to succeed because the Qin State already had great strength and had previous monarchs pave the way for him. This also reminds us that in any field, standing on the shoulders of giants and learning from the experience and wisdom of predecessors can we better move towards the road to success.
Finally, we should think about the question: do we have the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants in our lives and work? If so, how can we use these opportunities to achieve our goals? King Qin Zhao, the longest king in the history of the Qin state, faced an even greater challenge after solving the Xijong problem. In order to achieve his eastward expansion plan, he must first solve the incurring righteous channel. Therefore, after consulting with the regent Empress Dowager Xuan, King Qin Zhao decided to adopt an ingenious strategy. They decided to abandon the policy of frontal crusade against Yiqu, and instead set a trap to lure and win over the king of Yiqu. Empress Dowager Xuan led the plan, with King Qin Zhao assisting from the side. They invited King Yiqu to live in the Qin Palace, gave him the highest treatment, and even secretly communicated with him and gave birth to a child. In this way, King Yiqu completely relaxed his vigilance and vigilance. However, when King Yiqu was unprepared, Empress Dowager Xuan took the opportunity to trap him for death. King Zhao of Qin immediately sent troops to attack Yiqu, and finally in 272 BC, the state of Qin successfully destroyed Yiqu. For the Qin state, the annexation of Yiqu was only the first step in realizing its ambitions. The Yiqu tribe fought bravely and well, had abundant livestock resources, and provided the Qin state with a large number of soldiers and armaments.
If the Qin State wanted to focus all its energy on the struggle for hegemony in the eastern princely states, it must first solve the repeated incursions of the righteous canal to avoid being attacked by both sides. After annexing Yiqu, the Qin state began to attack the eastern central plains and proposed a strategy to conquer the world. King Qin Zhao's reign lasted fifty-six years, and he had great ambitions. During this time, Bai Qi, a famous general of the Qin State, played a crucial role. Since the Qin State was located in the western region, in order to attack the eastern countries, it was necessary to find an unimpeded path. Therefore, the annexation of Yiqu was not only a solution to a problem for the Qin State, but also opened a door for eastward expansion. From a historical point of view, after solving the Yiqu problem, the Qin state launched a conquest in the eastern central plains, and finally achieved the great goal of unifying the world. However, we can't help but wonder whether it is wise to solve the problem through deception and assassination. Perhaps, while realizing his ambitions, King Qin Zhao is also laying the root cause of future bane. So, do you think this strategy is appreciated? In real life, can we learn from this method to solve the problem?

Battle of Yique: The key battle in which Bai Qi helped the Qin state expand eastward, Han and Wei were geographically unique, located among the Seven Kingdoms and bordering the other four countries, as if they were the gateway to the countries of the Central Plains. This made Han and Wei ideal targets for Qin attacks. Therefore, King Zhao of Qin sent Bai Qi to lead a large army to attack Han and Wei, and at the beginning of the war, the Han and Wei armies were in a passive position. Bai Qi was adept at using the art of war, and he sent only a small number of soldiers to confront the powerful Korean army, but did not take the initiative to attack, while leaving a large number of troops to attack the weaker Wei army. The Wei army could not withstand the fierce attack of the Qin army, and eventually collapsed. The Han army was shocked when he got the news, but unexpectedly it was discovered by the Qin army, and finally collapsed after being defeated. Bai Qi took advantage of the victory to pursue and rushed all the way to the Que Dragon Gate, annihilating all the 240,000 troops of Han and Wei. The war became known as the Battle of Ique. Bai Qi performed well in this war, but his rise could not be separated from the support of King Qin Zhao. King Zhao of Qin continued to implement the Shang Martingale Reform Law, limiting the power of the nobility while rewarding military merit, so that many talents from civilian origin could be reused. Although Bai Qi did not have a prominent family lineage, he became a much-needed general of King Qin Zhao. This enlightened policy is clearly beneficial to both sides.
The victory in the Battle of Yique enabled the Qin state to occupy important areas in both Korea and Wei, completing the first and crucial step in eastward expansion. Before King Qin Zhao ascended the throne, no monarch had proposed a strategic plan to unify the world in a real sense, and the reason why the Qin State was able to take this step was because the Qin State already had the corresponding strength. By adopting the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack", the Qin state laid the foundation for later victories. The victory in the Battle of Yique was of great significance to the strategy of the Qin state's eastward expansion. Summary: The Battle of Yique was a key battle in which Bai Qi helped the Qin state expand eastward. Through Bai Qi's adept use of the art of war and the enlightened policies of King Zhao of Qin, the Qin state successfully defeated Han and Wei, occupied important areas, and laid the foundation for later unification. The victory in this war demonstrated the strength of the Qin state and also demonstrated Bai Qi's military talent. However, whether the eastward expansion of the Qin state is in the interests of all parties, will it lead to greater war? What do you think? King Qin Zhao, like other wise monarchs, understood the importance of being good at one's duties. This can be seen from his decision to reuse Baiqi. However, in addition to having excellent generals, King Qin Zhao also had a political and military strategist beside him, that is, Fan Yu.
Fan was originally a protégé of a minister of the Wei state, but was falsely accused of being a traitor. When he was about to be executed, he fled to the Qin state by chance. In order to attract the attention of King Qin Zhao, he volunteered himself, showed his talent, and finally won the reuse of King Qin Zhao. Fan Yan had a strong military strategic mind and excellent forward-looking thinking, and King Qin Zhao was very willing to listen to his opinions. When the minister proposed attacking the Qi state, Fan asked why he had neglected neighboring countries in favor of distant ones. He cleverly proposed a strategy called "long-distance friendship and close attack", which made King Qin Zhao's mouth suddenly open. King Zhao of Qin focused on the neighboring states of Han and Zhao and established friendly relations with the powerful states of Chu and Wei, while maintaining a neutral attitude towards the states of Yan and Qi. Fan Yan's strategy proved to be very effective, not only undermining the alliance of the six countries, but also gradually weakening the power of the six countries. "There are thousands of horses in the world, but Bole's not often." Fan Yan is undoubtedly a rare horse, but without a Bole like King Qin Zhao, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to show his talent. There are talents available in every era, but few can discover and reuse these talents like King Qin Zhao.
Fan Yan's outstanding performance was the result of King Qin Zhao's wise decision. Looking back at the whole story, we can take some insights from it. First of all, a leader's ability depends not only on his own talent, but also on his ability to discover and reuse the talent around him. Second, the right strategy and strategy are critical to success. The strategy of "long-distance friendship and close attack" proposed by Fan Yan achieved a great victory for the Qin state. Finally, we should see that everyone has the opportunity to show their talents, as long as there is a Bó Lè who gives the opportunity. Finally, for readers, how important do you think it is for a leader to discover and reuse talent? Do you have experiences or insights similar to Fan's? Please share your thoughts in the comments. This article tells about an important period in Chinese history - the Warring States period, the rise of the Qin state and the feat of unifying the six kingdoms. However, we have to admit that the details and talents behind this historic war also played a crucial role. In the war, the military strength of the Qin State has always been an absolute advantage, and at the same time as the victory in the war, King Qin Zhao also successfully announced the unification of the world with details and talents.
In the battle against Korea, this detail of capturing Ji Yan, the king of Zhou Zhao, although seemingly inconspicuous, psychologically put pressure on the Six Kingdoms, and at the same time showed the strength of the Qin State. This move of King Qin Zhao successfully startled the Six Kingdoms, thus providing confidence and motivation for the Qin State to unify the world. Historically, there are many similar examples, and the importance of detail and talent has once again been proven. We should realize that behind the success is often thousands of efforts and the accumulation of details, each detail may affect the direction of the entire situation. Therefore, we need to learn from these historical stories, constantly improve ourselves, and improve our management and leadership skills. Only in this way will it be possible for us to have an edge over the competition and win.
