Among the four princes of the Warring States, Wei Wuji, the Prince of Xinling, can be said to be the most veritable of the four, whose people are corporals with unparalleled talent, and who are not only sought after by countless people when they were alive.
After his death, he gained a large number of fans, such as the Confucian master XunZi, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Taishi Company Ma Qian, Tang Shixian Li Bai and so on.
Poetry Immortal Li Bai
In particular, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, after he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, every time he went to Da liang, he had to go to the tomb of Xin Lingjun to worship.
There are also five special tomb keepers, who have been worshipped for generations to express their respect and remembrance of the Xinling King.
Why is it that among the four princes of the Warring States, Xin Lingjun can win the grace of everyone alone? What is his charm?
As the younger son of King Zhao of Wei and the younger brother of King An of Wei, Wei Wuji can be said to have been born with a golden key, because he was sealed by his elder brother King An Ling in Xinling, so he was called Xin Ling Jun.
Xin Ling Jun Wei Wu Jie
However, Xin Lingjun was not only a noble prince, but also a chivalrous guest, a famous general, and a generation of warriors, who single-handedly stopped the pace of the unification of the Qin State, which can be said to be unique in the world.
Compared with the traitor meng Yijun, he was always loyal to the state of Wei, and once defected to other countries and attacked his home country because of the unfair treatment of the monarch.
Compared with the mediocre Plain Jun, he was unparalleled in talent, a generation of warriors, who repeatedly led the army to defeat the powerful Qin State, and even organized the joint strategy of the Kwantung States, and the Qin State did not dare to go out of the Hangu Pass.
Compared with the ambitious Chun Shenjun, he always adhered to the bottom line of his courtiers, and although he was suspected by his brother, he never had the ambition to usurp the throne and stand on his own.
Moreover, of these four people, only he could be a true courtesy corporal, noble but humble, and compared with the other three people, Xin Lingjun was truly able to understand people.
Therefore, his disciples were also full of talents, in addition to being known to the world as Hou Wei, Zhu Hai and others, who later shined in the Chu-Han war, and Zhang Er, who was named the King of Zhao, was also a disciple of Xin Lingjun.
It is also with the assistance of these excellent talents that Xin Lingjun has established his own huge intelligence network, made great achievements in battle, and no matter what he does, he can know the opportunity and make the best choice.
There is a record in the "Chronicle of the Princes of Wei" that at that time, Xin Lingjun was playing chess with his brother King Wei An, when suddenly an alarm came from the northern border, saying that King Zhao had led an army to invade, and the King of Wei was going to stand up and summon his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
As a result, he was stopped by Xin Lingjun, who told his brother that King Zhao was just hunting, not leading an army to invade, and still calmly continued to play chess, but King Wei was always worried and could not focus on the chess game.
It wasn't until a while later that news came from the front, confirming that King Zhao was indeed hunting rather than leading an army to invade. This surprised the King of Wei and asked Xin Lingjun how he knew that King Zhao was hunting rather than invading.
Xin Lingjun calmly told his brother that he had a protégé who was deeply trusted by King Zhao's side, and that King Zhao's every move would be reported to himself, thus knowing what King Zhao had done.
At that time, reading the biography of Wei Gongzi, I admired the powerful intelligence network of Xin Lingjun, but after experiencing some things, I found that in fact, the tragic ending that caused Wei Gongzi was already doomed in this story.
The Xin Ling Jun's sharp edge is too exposed, the lord of the hall of a country does not have as much information as you, and there are people in the Zhao Kingdom who can report the every move of the Zhao King to you, so have you also arranged people around me?
Since ancient times, the kings have been lonely, suspicious is its nature, perhaps Xin Lingjun did not take this matter as too important, but the King of Wei seemed that Xin Lingjun was too terrible, as a courtier, your energy is too great.
The consequences of this incident were also extremely direct, "it was the Later Wei King who feared the merits of the prince and did not dare to let the prince govern the country." "Its end is already predestined.
Just as the so-called wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and sometimes it is a sin for people to be too good, maybe it is just a common thing for geniuses, but it is a humiliation for mediocre people.
Geniuses are always lonely, and the story of Xin Lingjun stealing charms to save Zhao is almost well known, and that year, due to the fiasco of Changping, the elite of the Zhao State was completely damaged. The Qin army besieged handan, the capital of the Zhao state, and prepared to destroy Zhao in a battle.
Knowing that after the Qin state destroyed Zhao, it was bound to increase its strength greatly, and the remaining kingdoms would inevitably be conquered by the Qin state one by one. However, in the face of the powerful Qin army, they were like ostriches burying their heads in the sand, deceiving themselves.
Even if the King of Wei understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, he sent the Wei general Jin Wei to lead 100,000 people to rush to the aid of the Zhao state.
However, with the emissary of the King of Qin: "I attack Zhao Dan and go down, and the princes who dare to save him, have pulled out Zhao, and will move their troops to attack him first." The intimidation, the King of Wei instigated. Therefore, the Wei reinforcements stopped moving forward and sat on the wall.
And it is precisely because of this that it led to the wonderful XinlingJun stealing charm to save Zhao in history.
As a master of war, Xin Lingjun naturally knew what it meant for the zhao kingdom to be destroyed? If the State of Wei insists on not saving Zhao, the State of Zhao will perish, and if Zhao dies, the world will perish, the State of Wei will perish, and what is the point of preserving strength?
The only soldier who could command the 100,000-strong army of Jin was at the side of the King of Wei, and as long as he got this rune, he could lead the army to save Zhao.
At this time, only the Beloved Concubine of the King of Wei, Ru Ji, had a way to get it, and Ru Ji was also a martyr woman, because Xin Lingjun helped his father avenge, so he risked being killed and helped Xin Lingjun get the soldier's charm.
Although the history books do not record Ru Ji's ending, as long as you think about it, you know that how can Ru Ji, who has done such a thing, still have a way to live? It is also a pity for this strange woman.
Although Xin Lingjun got the soldier's charm, because Jin Yi refused to hand over the command, he had no choice but to kill Jin Lingjun on the spot and get the command of the 100,000 Wei army.
He also led these 100,000 Wei troops to defeat the Qin army, and Xin Lingjun rose to power in a battle, thus preserving the world and the State of Wei.
However, Xin Lingjun felt guilty for killing Jin, and he also knew that although he led his army to rescue the State of Zhao and indirectly saved the State of Wei, he violated the taboo of the King of Wei, so he stayed in the State of Zhao.
In 248 BC, Lü Buwei, the xiangguo of the Qin state, sent his beloved general Meng Xiao to lead a large army to attack the State of Zhao, including thirty-seven cities and pools of the State of Zhao. Not only that, the Qin army Wang Gongbu also captured Shangdang County of the State of Zhao, and most of the entire Southern Taihang Mountain Passage was occupied by the State of Qin.
In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Qin army, King Xiang of Zhao was determined to fight back. The above generals sealed The Lingjun of Xinling, with the general Pang Yan as his deputy, raised the Zhao army of 100,000 to resist Qin.
Ten years after the Battle of Handan, Xin Lingjun led the army for the second time, and he ordered his disciples to go to the various princely states to move reinforcements.
At this time, Xin Lingjun's brother King Wei An also sent people to hold the Wei state xiangyin, to the Zhao state to welcome Xin Lingjun as a general, and prepared a 100,000 army for it, Xin Lingjun received the Wei army on the banks of the Zhangshui River, and the two armies of Zhao and Wei merged, and 200,000 xiongshi, enough to resist the Mengxiao army.
Soon after the Xinling Emperor commanded the army, good news followed, and the three kingdoms of Yan, Han, and Chu all admired Xinling's use of troops like gods, heard that he was a general, and sent a general to lead the troops to Wei to listen to his moderation.
The five kingdoms totaled more than 400,000 troops, stationed on the border of Zhao and Wei, to meet the Qin army. On the qin side, it also mobilized all its forces to reinforce Mengxiao, and the Mengxiao army also reached more than 300,000.
Xin Lingjun knew very well that the five armies he led were each pregnant with a ghost fetus, and they could not twist into a rope like the Qin army, the so-called five-nation alliance army was okay to fight a tailwind battle, if it was a hard bar face to face with the Qin army, it was a sure end.
Therefore, Xin Lingjun tried his best to avoid siege warfare or frontal combat with the Qin army, but attacked the enemy's weakest and most difficult grain and grass supply station.
Therefore, Xin Lingjun ordered Wei Qing to command the Wei division, and Jingyang to command the Chu division, nearly 200,000 people, to build a company of fortifications, falsely plant the banner of the Xinling Jun, and hold the wall without fighting, in order to resist the Mongol army.
Xin Lingjun himself, commanding more than 200,000 troops of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Yan, marched lightly and scurried west along the southern foothills of the Taihang Mountains.
Directly to the east bank of the Yellow River, and then along the Yellow River south, to the confluence of Weishui and the Yellow River. Then cut down wood as a boat, control this important area, cut off the supply of grain and grass for the Qin army, and achieve the purpose of feeding the war with war.
Wang Gong, the general of the Qin army who was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, reacted quickly in this unfavorable situation, ordering the whole army to stop transporting grain and grass from the waterway, and all sides were unable to stand out, waiting for the Mengxiao army to return to help.
However, the army of the Qin state was scattered in granaries, so Xin Lingjun concentrated his superior forces and attacked and burned these granaries one by one.
At this time, Wang Gong, who was stationed in the yin and Jin cities, immediately sent people to the Mengxiao camp thousands of miles away, asking Mengxiao to send troops back to help, so as to attack Xinlingjun with his own things.
However, Meng Xiao still didn't know which army Xin Lingjun was in, and he didn't know if this was Xin Lingjun's plan to move the tiger away from the mountain, and he wanted to attack himself from behind. Therefore, Meng Xiao did not make up his mind to return to the rescue.
However, with the granaries being breached and burned one by one, especially the Huashan granary is the main granary of the army, once it is broken, it will shake the hearts of the army.
Therefore, Wang Gong, a veteran who has always acted steadily, could not sit still at all, so he had to gather more than 80,000 people, divided into four teams, and rush to the aid of Mount Hua.
Yet what awaited them was, a circle of two hundred thousand troops. The war killed all night, the Qin army was defeated, more than 50,000 troops were folded, Wang Gong fled to Yinjin under the desperate escort of his generals, because of the late festival and fear, he no longer led the army to fight.
According to Xin Lingjun's plan, this battle was only less than halfway through, and the combined column army now had to return to meet the main force of the Qin army in Mengxiao, and the Mengxiao army, which had cut off grain and grass, would close the door and fight the dogs.
Meng Xiao, who had been constantly responding to all changes, was already in a completely passive state at this time, and if he did not act again, I was afraid that it would cause tragic results when xin lingjun completed the encirclement.
Meng Xiao selected tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers from the army, built the banner of "Great General Meng", and continued to hold the Wei and Chu armies. Then drive the elite as far as possible, rush away, and reflexively come to fight with the Xin Lingjun.
This was a real decisive battle, Xin Lingjun commanded the troops of the Three Kingdoms, and in the face of the Qin army, which was slightly less numerous than his own, the numerical superiority disappeared in an instant.
The elite troops who fight Mengxiao do not have the certainty of victory, so they must first break up their old and weak teams, mess up their positions, and have a greater chance of winning.
He ordered the Wei general Wei Qing and the Chu general Jingyang to attack the old and weak troops of the Qin army. When they saw the Qin people, they killed them, drove the Qin people to storm their own queues, and disrupted the deployment of the Qin army.
In this battle, Meng Xiao lost nearly 100,000 horses, Wang Gong lost more than 50,000 people, the grain ships were lost, and the Qin army suffered a major defeat.
The Five Kingdoms Combined Column pursued all the way until the remnants of the Qin army all retreated into Hangu Pass and closed the door. The combined column army pursued to Hangu Pass, and after a month of glory before the pass, the Xinling Junfang was only a class teacher.
The key to Xin Lingjun's art of war is night warfare, mountain warfare, and mobile warfare, and he never cares about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but constantly mobilizes the enemy's movements through mobile warfare, leads the enemy's nose, and lures the enemy to a suitable battlefield for a decisive battle.
Unfortunately, the prosperity of the pole will decline, and when the Xinling Emperor rises to power and become famous in the world, he immediately encounters a sudden blockade.
The King of Qin spent a lot of money in the State of Wei to spread rumors that Emperor Xinling was going to rebel, and at the same time sent people to the territory of the State of Wei to pretend to congratulate Wei Wuji on his ascension to the throne.
Therefore, King An was even more suspicious of Wei Wujie, so he sent others to take charge of the Wei state in his place, and the Five Kingdoms plan to attack Qin failed.
Wei Wuji was discouraged from then on, and after returning to the Wei kingdom, he no longer went to the court and indulged in wine every day. Four years later, Wei Wuji died. From then on, the State of Wei lost the last pillar of support. Eighteen years later, the State of Wei was destroyed.
In fact, the prosperity and strength of the Qin state and the general situation of annexing the princes are a situation formed by the long-term efforts of many people, and cannot be changed by the cohesion of one person and one country for a while.
However, Xin Lingjun's act of going against the heavens that he knew could not do added a touch of tragic feelings to him.
