Zhou Ji IV, 297 BC to 273 BC, a total of 23 years.
In 23 years, there were 9 changes of monarchs in the princely states. Among them, the Qi kingdom of Qi was destroyed and killed, and Tian Dan restored the state of Qi and welcomed king Xiang of Qi as king.
There have been 29 wars, and Qin is still the big brother who cannot be provoked.
In the past 23 years, there are two characters who have to say, one is Le Yi, and the other is Tian Dan.
Le Yi, whose ancestor was a general under Wei Wenhou Weisi, was enfeoffed by Wei Wenhou in Zhongshan, that is, zhongshan guoren, and after King Wuling of Zhao destroyed the kingdom of Zhongshan, Le Yi also became a zhao stateman, originally wanted to be an official in the zhao state, but after knowing that the king of Zhao Wuling starved to death in the sand dunes, he went to the state of Wei.
The State of Yan was destroyed by the State of Qi because of the chaotic drama of the King of Yan and Zizhi. After King Yan Zhao ascended the throne, he always wanted to take revenge, and built a golden platform on the edge of YiShui to seek the world's sages and help them realize their desire for revenge. Le Yi came from the State of Wei to the State of Yan, king of Yan Zhao was named Yaqing, Le Yi worked in the state of Yan for many years, but this was not the most glorious moment of his life, his most glorious moment was to lead the five-nation alliance to attack the state of Qi, and in June to capture the 72 cities of the state of Qi, to realize his dream of revenge for king Yan Zhao.
However, Le Yi's highlight moment did not last long, since the death of King Yan Zhao, his son King Hui of Yan took the throne, because King Hui of Yan had a festival with Le Yi when he was crown prince, and he has always been unhappy with Le Yi. And after Le Yi captured more than 70 cities in the State of Qi as counties, there were still two places in Jimo and Ju that were not captured, Le Yi's own reason was to use benevolence and righteousness to impress, did not take force to attack, this strategy in the yan zhao king period, there were people who opposed, and advised the king of Yan Zhao, saying that Le Yi left these two cities did not attack, is to be the king of the state of Qi, but the king of Yan Zhao can be said to be a grand instrument, still believe in Le Yi, saying that without Le Yi, can I take revenge? During the court meeting, the speakers were executed in public, and Le Yi was made the King of Qi, and le Yi's wife, son, queen, and prince were given clothes and honors, but Le Yi resigned with death and resolutely refused.
The defender who happened to be Ink was Tian Dan, and after knowing that Le Yi was at odds with King Hui of Yan, he used a counter-plot to make King Hui of Yan change generals, and King Hui of Yan really changed Le Yi, and Le Yi saw this situation and ran directly to the Zhao Kingdom without saying a word. Le Yi went to Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo felt that this was a talent, he was very important to him, gave him a fief, and finally Le Yi died of Zhao Guo.
Le Yi could not attack the last two cities of the State of Qi for a long time, and what the purpose of Le Yi's strategy was, we do not know now. Perhaps, as he said, it is to use benevolent means to impress them and make them surrender. Maybe Le Yi really has some ideas and wants to split the earth and become king. It may also be to improve their own value, so as not to destroy the country, get the end of "cunning rabbit death, running dog cooking". In short, we can't know, and there's no need to know. Because at least we know that Le Yi is really a smart person, in the chaotic social environment at that time, he can achieve a certain position and die well, which cannot be done without a certain amount of wisdom.
Tian Shan is also a smart person. Tian Dan initially worked as a small official in Linzi, and when the State of Yan attacked Linzi, the various clans in the city rushed out of the city to escape for their lives, and only Tian Dan successfully escaped to Jimo. Because Tian Dan reinforced the carriage with iron sheets in advance, and the other people's carriages were basically squeezed off because there were too many people fleeing for their lives.
Because of this incident, Tian Danzu was also regarded as the Emperor of qi, so he was elected by the local Hao clan in Jimo as the Jimo Shou General. Tian Shan had no choice but to use the counter-plot to get Le Yi away, but he was still able to nibble at the newly arrived Yan general. In order to achieve two purposes, one is to make the Yan army proud and arrogant, and the proud soldiers will be defeated; the second is to make the defenders, the people, and nobles in Jimo City become mourning soldiers, holding the belief that they will fight to the death to the end.
It was obvious that Tian Dan's purpose had been achieved, so in one night, he launched a counterattack, and this counterattack was also classic. First of all, a group of cattle were found, weapons were tied to the horns and cattle, the cattle were covered with clothes painted with dragon patterns, the tail of the cow was soaked with pine resin, the pine resin on the tail of the ox was ignited, and the cattle rushed to the Yan army camp through the pre-opened hole, and the people in the city beat gongs and drums again, creating a huge momentum, causing chaos in the Yan army, and finally defeating the Yan army. As a result, one victory, one shot and one shot, and the 72 cities that had surrendered all rebelled, resulting in the defeat of the Yan army. Tian Dan welcomed back the King of Qi Xiang in the people, and since then the State of Qi has been re-established, and Tian Dan has been the Prime Minister. Of course, after making such a great contribution, no king could rest assured, and Tian Dan was finally jealous of King Qi Xiang and fled the Zhao Kingdom.
Finally, in general, Le Yi broke through and Tian Dan restored the country, making the history of these 23 years very exciting.
