The State of Qin rose rapidly during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, when the State of Qin produced a personal talent, Zhang Yi, thus opening the era of great deception, the Zongheng family, and Zhang Yi and his contemporaries Su Qin can also be regarded as the originators of China's great deception. Zhang Yi was originally an official in the Chu State, but because his mouth was too good at talking, he offended a bunch of nobles, and finally he was whipped, so he defected to the thriving Qin State. Zhang Yi also has no ability, he will flicker, directly the King of Qin Huiwen did not know the southeast and northwest, from the Qin King's nickname can be seen, this person likes Wen and does not like martial arts, so he attaches great importance to Zhang Yi, obeys his divisive plan, and the object of the dissension is the State of Wei and the State of Chu.
Zhang Yi ran upside down to the State of Wei and said to King Hui of Wei, I will tell you something, I will return your Territory of Hexi County, where You were from Wu Qi, and how about you give me your Shang County. King Wei Hui was really a little distracted, so he agreed.
In fact, Zhang Yi is so flickering, these two places are west of the Yellow River, Hexi is close to xianyang, the base camp of the Qin state, Hexi gave the State of Wei, the State of Qin can take it back at any time, but if Shangjun is taken by the State of Qin, the State of Wei can not take it back. As we all know, during the reign of King Hui of Wei, the great general Pang Juan not only destroyed the friendship between Zhao and Han and Wei, but also crippled his disciple Sun Zhi, who fled to the State of Qi without a rut, was adopted by Tian Ji of the horse race, and became a large army division, and then Pang Juan was beaten all the way (encircling Wei to save Zhao, the Battle of the Canyon), and thus ate the bitter fruit he planted, and the State of Qi has since stabilized the hegemony of the East, and the State of Wei has begun to decline.
Zhang Yi saw this opportunity and ran to Wei so flickered, and the State of Wei and the State of Qin got along. The States of Wei, Qi, and Qin were all on a horizontal line, so this east-west alliance was called "Lianheng". After Zhang Yi returned to China, he began to call the boss "King". As mentioned earlier, in addition to Zhou Tianzi, the only kings left are the self-proclaimed king of the State of Chu, and the king of the marginal minority of the Yue Kingdom, and he is all dukes or marquises. As soon as the State of Qin became king, other countries also began to call them kings, so why did the former qin xiaogong become the king of Qin Huiwen when he came to his son; the son of Marquis Wu of Wei became the king of Wei Hui.
As soon as the State of Wei was called king, the State of Chu was not happy, so why did you call himself King? I'm so big and so powerful, and why are you good with Qin Guo, are you dealing with me? So the two countries fought, and Zhang Yi's purpose was achieved.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi went to fool Chu Guo again. The State of Qin was very afraid of the alliance between the most powerful State of Chu and the State of Qi at that time, and it would be very dangerous if it did so, so this time Zhang Yi's purpose was to destroy the Alliance between Qi and Chu. At this time, the chu state was ruled by the king of Chu Huai, surnamed Qi, Xiong, called Huai.
Zhang Yi saw King Huai of Chu and said that in order to make friends with you, he wanted to give you "Shang yu six hundred miles", but the condition was to break off diplomatic relations with Qi. King Huai of Chu was very happy to hear this, and immediately sent someone to scold the street and broke off diplomatic relations with the state of Qi. Zhang Yi then went back to the Qin State to do the "land transfer", and then Qu Yuan persuaded the King of Chu Huai that if you did not get the land, you would go to make a vendetta with others. King Huai of Chu did not listen, saying not to think too badly of people, but to be as kind as I am.
The King of Chu offended the King of Qi, and even finally fought, or did not see Zhang Yi to the ground, he has been looking for someone to urge, Zhang Yi said the king you are confused, I said to give you 6 miles, where is there 600 miles of this matter? It doesn't matter if I say it. King Huai of Chu, a single-celled creature who slaughtered Zhang Yi's heart at that time, attacked the Qin state in one breath, and in the Battle of Lantian, the Chu state that did not succeed in changing the law suffered heavy losses, and after the defeat, he could only lick his face and go to the Qi state who had cursed the street to reconcile.
King Qin Huiwen said to Zhang Yi, you didn't succeed in fooling people, you just lame people, and as a result, people are now reconciled again, and they can trot. Zhang Yi said it's okay, flicker again, just chu huai wang this IQ, I can give him a fool into a wheelchair, but you have to give me some money and weight this time. Then Zhang Yi directly asked the King of Qin to send a letter to the King of ChuHuai, saying that this time we would exchange land and form friends forever, but this time it was true!
King Huai of Chu said don't tear it up, the land is not rare, you send Zhang Yi over, I will give you the land in Qianzhong directly, there is no need to change. Then, Zhang Yi went to the Chu Kingdom with a lot of money, and the King of Chu Huai saw that Zhang Yi hated him so much that his teeth itched, so he directly locked him up, planning to kill him. At this time, Zhang Yi asked his subordinates to bribe the favored minister Jin Shang with heavy money, and also sent someone to scare the favored concubine of the King of Chu Huai, saying that you should help me speak quickly, otherwise you would give the most beautiful woman in the Qin Kingdom to the King of Chu. These two people blew all kinds of winds in the ears of the King of Chu Huai, and the King of Chu Huai could not stand the praise of the beauties and favored subjects, so he directly let Zhang Yi go. When Zhang Yi was leaving, he said, "Great King, in fact, I have come this time to show my sincerity, you can rest assured, I don't want the land in Qianzhong, as long as you break off diplomatic relations with the State of Qi and make friends with the State of Qin. King Huai of Chu was very touched and said "Thank you!"! Qu Yuan came back to see this king of Chu who lacked heart and eyes, and he had a dead heart.
It can also be seen from here that although the Chu kingdom is large, it is chaotic internally, and Zhang Yi's big fool has played such a big country around. Of course, the Qin state at the time of Zhang Yi really learned the skill of fooling people, and the ancient Shu and Ba kingdoms in the Sichuan Basin also won the trick. The culture of these two countries is very different from that of the Chinese, perhaps the Western Qiang and Baipu people are the main (controversial), and have not been part of the sphere of influence of any central government, but the Qin state in the north turned its attention at this time.
Qin gave the small country of Tho, which was attached to the Shu kingdom, a bunch of stone cattle, and then told the Shu kingdom that this cow could pull gold by eating grass, and the people and I allied with me to deal with you. Du Lu, the boss of the Shu Kingdom, was a stunned young man, and all of a sudden he was angry, and he betrayed me, so he sent troops to attack the State of Tho, and the State of Qin took advantage of the chaos to destroy the State of Shu, and as soon as the State of Ba saw that the State of Shu was destroyed, I still tossed something, and Qin also "peacefully liberated" the Country of Pakistan by the way. After the destruction of Ba and Shu, the territory of the Qin state expanded unprecedentedly, becoming a large country spanning Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan.
However, with the succession of The King of Qin Wu with a straight personality and infinite strength, Zhang Yi's big fool of lip service had no market, and Zhang Yi knew that he could not continue to mix, so he said to the King of Qin that since you did not want to see me, then I would go to wei to serve as minister of state, originally the state of Qi hated me, and I went to Qi and Wei To have no better relations, and in this way, Zhang Yi completed the last plan of his life.
Of course, Zhang Yi's life ending was also quite satisfactory, and finally died of illness in the State of Wei, while Su Qin of the same era, as well as wu Qi and Shang Martin, the initiators of the change of law, mostly failed to die well.
