Whoever could grasp the opportunity of King Wu of Zhou to attack and destroy yin shang would be able to win development on the map of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the local regimes at that time, whether they were city-pool-style countries or migratory tribes, as long as they recognized the zhou people's co-lordship, that is, the feudal state recognized by Zhou Tianzi. Such opportunities are not very many, and they will only happen once in hundreds of years. Obviously, Ji Guo seized this opportunity. Compared with the State of Qi, the State of Ji seems to have a longer history in the land of Qilu, and when the State of Qi established itself here, the State of Ji often clashed with it. For the ultimate fate of the State of Ji, it is related to a monarch who is not very positive in the State of Qi. More views of Qi Xianggong in the history books may be limited to the private affair with Wen Jiang, but the problem cannot hide the achievements, Qi Xianggong is also a successful monarch in politics and military, and the most worth mentioning is the campaign to destroy the Ji state.
Ji Guo only recognized Zhou Tianzi's co-lordship, and Ji Guo did not know what reasons were for the sub-fiefed Qilu princes, and actually did not recognize it, so the war between Ji Guo and Qilu always affected the stability of this region. Moreover, the Ji people seem to be very good at political tricks, they told zhou Tianzi that the state of Qi was not, which led to the king of Zhou Yi cooking and killing the Marquis of Qi, which contributed to the enmity between the state of Qi and the state of Ji, the land of Qilu was billowing with smoke, the qi ji had staged a cruel war for many years, and there was a monarch in the state of Qi who could not resist the threat of the state of Ji and moved to the capital, and the dispute over the hegemony on the land of Qilu was raging.
Duke Xiang of Qi seems to be a monarch who is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and is quite enthusiastic about the affairs of the alliance, and also frequently confuses the nations through the affairs of the alliance, such as the assassination of Lu Huangong by the Luodi Huimeng, the killing of the Junzi of the Zheng State, the Alliance of the Aidihui alliance against the Xu State, and the alliance in the Yellow Land completely disrupts the tactics of the Lu and Ji States, weakening the Weiguo, while the Defensive Alliance is dating Wen Jiang and humiliating the Lu State. Qi Xianggong's five alliances and nearly ten wars killed two monarchs, and it cannot be said that Qi Xianggong was a powerful monarch, so how did the Qi Xianggong treat the country of worldly hatred?
The rapid growth of the national strength of the State of Qi has brought about great changes in the political situation of the entire region, but the advent of the era of great strife and the chaotic wars of many princely states have made the distinction between the State of Qi and the State of Ji uncertain. Before launching a war of annihilation against the capital of the State of Ji, the Duke of Qi Xiang was more likely to adopt many alliances to win a situation that was more favorable to the State of Qi, the State of Qi to pacify the Wei state, Xu State and other civil unrest, the Aidi Alliance, the Yellow Land Alliance were largely trying to control the Wei State. The purpose of controlling the Wei state was to push the qi forces into the Central Plains.
Since Zheng Zhuanggong, it can be said that Qi Xianggong is a more daring monarch, and among the monarchs of the entire Spring and Autumn Warring States, Qi Xianggong is definitely the best in the minority who can assassinate two princes during his term of office. When Qi Xianggong killed Duke Huan of Lu and Junzi Zheng, in fact, the State of Qi already had hegemonic influence in the Central Plains, but the time had not yet come. Killing a monarch, the State of Lu did not respond; killing another monarch, Zheng Guo did not react, which made the boldness of The Duke of Qi Xianggong no longer stop, and after the original states submitted, the Duke of Qi Xiang really turned to promoting the war of annihilation.
We say that sometimes, we are talking about a war that can destroy one country, such as the false road of the Jin Dynasty, and the real annihilation of two countries. However, the real war of annihilation is definitely not so simple a battle can determine the victory or defeat, such as the Battle of Qi Xianggong, in fact, it is a conspiracy that lasted for many years, accumulating the efforts of the qi state to replace the monarch, and finally reversing the situation in the era of qi and qi xianggong, and the state of Qi had an overwhelming advantage over the state of Ji. In the fifth year of the Reign of Duke Xiang of Qi, the State of Qi broke through the National Defense Line of the State of Qi and destroyed the living forces of the State of Ji, and the State of Ji began to decline from then on, and the Duke of Qi Xiang moved the four kingdoms of Ji, Guo, Guo, and Guo, and at the same time cultivated the royal forces of the state of Qi, who believed that the Duke of Qi Xiang was nothing more than revenge on the hatred of that year, but it was due to interests, and there would be no so-called act of destroying the country, that is, to cede the land near the state of Qi to the state of Qi, so the state of Ji split into two states of the state of Qi, and the other state of Ji was just dying.
In the history books, there are: "Ji Hou went to his country", the demise of the Ji state began from the time when the Ji state was split, and if Ji Ji had organized the forces of the Ji state to fight against Qi Xianggong to the death, perhaps the Ji state would not have perished so quickly. Any battlefield for the State of Ji, has been irreversible subversion, the People of The State of Ji have been unable to confront the State of Qi, when the army of Duke Xiang of Qi came to the capital of the State of Ji, Ji Hou abdicated the throne and gave way to Ji Ji, who was close to the State of Qi, while the original Ji Hou was far away from the capital and hid away from other places, for fear of being caught by the People of Qi, as the king of a country, such a thing is a great shame.
