The generation of Heroes who came to the end of the scene - Qin Xiangong

A heroic figure was killed by a poisoned arrow in the Battle of Qin and Wei as soon as he appeared, and a generation of Heroes ended. Let's take a look at the story of Qin Xiangong.

The duke was named Win Shi Yi (xi), born in the turbulent situation of the Qin Kingdom, the father of the country died at the age of five, and his uncle took advantage of his young age to seize the throne, and the yingshi kui who should have succeeded to the throne was driven to the Longxi River Valley. However, Uncle Goose died after fifteen years on the throne, and his son was killed in a coup d'état after succeeding to the throne, so the fleeing winshi Kui returned to China as a continuing monarch. A farce ended, leaving nothing but psychological shadows and turbulent situations for the Qin state, and even stagnated for more than a decade.

Win Shiyi honed his tenacity in his nomadic life, and he was determined to change the poverty and weakness of the Qin state, drive out the Wei people, and retake Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass, a husband and a wife, ten thousand people can not open, this important military fortress, is the fate of the Qin state, with Hangu Pass in hand, the Qin people can be calm, lose Hangu Pass, the Qin people are like exposing their chests to face the enemy's spear and sword.

Offering his wife and food, exerting great efforts to govern, despite the objections of his ministers, he moved the capital to Oak Yang, and fought for many years, rarely defeated.

In 362 BC, (the first year of the Great Qin Empire), Qin Xiangong won a rare vicious battle in the Battle of Shaoliang, in which the two sides were like two fierce tigers, with no victory or defeat, and both sides were injured. Gong Gong's son Yingqu Liang led the dead soldiers to capture the Wei commander Gong Shu, who thought that this vicious battle would end. However, it was strongly resisted by the Wei people. Originally, the State of Wei had such a military law: the commander died in battle, and the soldiers were not guilty. The commander was captured, and the generals of the three armies and the guards were all sentenced to death.

So on the way back to the camp, Xiangong was shot by a poisoned arrow, which became history.

He did not follow the tradition and passed the throne to his concubine, but to his concubine. Before dying, he summoned his two sons alone and asked his concubine To write a bloody letter: "If you bear the king's brother, the heavens will be destroyed." He also gave this blood book to Shuzi Yingqu Liang, so that he could use it to contain Win Qian.

As a monarch, when his life was in danger, he still did not forget to take steps forward, weigh the pros and cons, and promote the development of the situation in the direction that was most conducive to the long-term development of the Qin State.

However, the Qin state has been fighting for many years, leaving his son with a mess of poverty and weakness. Xiangong also understood that on his deathbed, he confessed three major events to Win Qu Liang:

First, do not rush to take revenge, but lie down and taste courage, rich countries and strong soldiers;

Second, we must treat our subordinates kindly, especially the elders of the clan, and do not easily touch them;

Third, brothers should be united in one heart, and there should be no evil.

Brothers in one heart, he explained both the boss Win Qian, but also the second old win Qu Liang, and the two sons also agreed to sacrifice the gong, but he still had to make the most prudent move, let Win Qian write a blood book, so that the future monarch had the power to restrain the military power of the win.

Xian Gong knows, "It is easy to be with virtue, it is difficult to be in the same heart, it is difficult to be great in virtue, and it is even more difficult to seek common ground." ”

This means that everyone's high-level ideological understanding and goals are the same, which is easy to do. It is difficult to have the same thoughts and directions for specific things. It is even more difficult to pursue the same moral code and basic discipline. Speaking the big vernacular is that the eldest and second elders all want to do good things for the Qin kingdom, and the direction of action is diametrically opposite, which is very likely to happen, at this time, as the monarch, the second elder must be better.

After doing this, the words were still not finished, and a mouthful of blood spewed out and passed away.

The plot of the Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony is still being staged intensely, but a generation of British lords has ended. Despite the caution and subtlety, Xian Gong still left a sinister situation for Win Qu Liang...
