During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the various princely states were full of deceit. Even trust of an objective nature does not exist, it is war.
During the Warring States period, King Huai of Chu was deceived by Zhang Yi twice in a row, so at this point can we think that there is something wrong with his mind? In fact, it is not necessarily that if this is the case, then several other monarchs are also idiots.
After all, they had all been deceived by Zhang Yi's schemes.
The reason why Xiang Zhang Yi and their kind of Zongheng family have repeatedly succeeded is that they have seen a thing too thoroughly. In terms of making a bureau, they can be proficient in everything, can grasp the interests of the other party, the direction of the heart, coupled with superb speech skills, so that the other party is convinced of themselves, follow their own ideas involuntarily.
Any chaotic world can already have a batch of heroes, so let's first take a look at Zhang Yi's situation!
In Zhang Yi's time, the "art of vertical and horizontal" could become a hot spot in that era, and it was also the direction of history. Therefore, Zhang Yi was able to fool King Huai of Chu into reneging on the covenant with the State of Qi with six miles, in fact, the essence of this matter was to destroy the alliance with lianheng.
In the early Warring States period, after more than half a century of conquest between countries, about 340 BC, the pattern of the world is actually very similar to the pattern of today's society.
The state of Wei, the overlord of the early Warring States period, was driven off the altar at this moment, and the state of Qin in the west had gradually moved towards a powerful path after undergoing the Shang Martingale Transformation Method.
At this time, the State of Qi was still making a fortune among the nations
In the middle and late period of the Warring States, the Qin state developed most rapidly by virtue of its institutional advantages, coupled with the desire of the successive monarchs of the Qin state to compete with the Central Plains.
The Qin state's spying on the Central Plains gradually made the nations feel the danger, and at this time, the six kingdoms of Shandong were also secretly deploying some arrangements, hoping to contain the development of the Qin state.
In line with the needs of the world, Su Qin became a fragrant pot in this pot.
In 333 BC, he wandered among the various princely states, and when he was most proud, he was equipped with the seal of the Six Kingdoms, becoming the most dazzling figure of the time.
With attack, there was also defense, and in order to break the state of the six kingdoms, Lian Heng came into being in this era.
From the perspective of the six countries, in the final analysis, hezhong is only a means, and it cannot be called an "end" at all. The reason for this is that the purpose of the six countries is actually for their own national interests.
In the face of interests, everything is a small thing.
For the state, the purpose of the state is actually to be able to expand its territory, obtain enough population and wealth, and finally even be able to replace Zhou Tianzi.
That is to say, everyone in the six kingdoms of Shandong wants to become a Qin state, but they are not a Qin state. Therefore, they must unite to eliminate the Qin state in order to eliminate the threat to themselves.
However, there was not enough trust between the six kingdoms, which was the reason for their ultimate failure, as it was called: one monk had water to eat, two monks to carry water to eat, and three monks to eat without water. That's exactly what happened. In fact, it is said that during the Warring States period, the six kingdoms of Shandong were not in one place. As long as the Qin state takes the lead in breaking through the defense line of one or two countries, their loose alliance relationship, the final outcome waiting for them is actually to be destroyed by the Qin state.
