Chapter 27: The Chance of the Fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Prelude to the Fifth Merge! (Please read on!)
"This is the preface to the fall of Qin. I stole it for my brother!"
Zhang Liang's words were very passionate and inspiring, making people feel that I am really so talented that even Lord Xinling can replace me.
But this time, Zhang Ji was really not moved at all.
How mentally ill does he have to be to be this piece of shit?
There is a lot of bad blood among the six kingdoms in Shandong. How many times have they joined forces to attack Qin over the years? In fact, starting from King Hui of Qin, during his reign, if the kingdoms of Shandong did not join forces to attack Qin even once, the Qin kings of that generation would be suspicious.
Do the Six Kingdoms of Shandong look down on him?
If it can be combined four times, what will be the result?
Either they suffered a disastrous defeat because of their different intentions, or they retreated hastily even if they won and were unwilling to work for others, or they retreated halfway.
Zhang Ji's great-grandfather Zhang Yi entered the Qin Dynasty and was reused by King Qin Huiwen, and began his vigorous march eastwards!
The Qin State sent troops to attack Wei Hanei and occupied Wei State's Quwo and Heping Zhou. Soon after, they captured Han's Yanling and Yiqu's Yuzhi.
The rapid expansion of the Qin State prompted all countries to unite. In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang's reign (318 BC), Wei Prime Minister Gongsun Yan paired up with the five kingdoms to attack Qin. He united the five kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu to attack Qin, and at the same time persuaded Yiqu.
Attack Qin's flank and back.
As a result, the Chu army and the Yan army fought passively and waited and waited. In fact, only Wei, Zhao, and Han sent troops. The coalition attacked Hangu Pass and was repelled by the Qin army. The following year, the Qin army's general "think tank" Ying
Ji Zai Xiuyu defeated the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and beheaded 82,000 people!
Since then, the first joint attack on Qin failed.
In the first year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (314 BC), Qin State avenged the raid on Qin State's rear four years ago. In order to consolidate the rear area, it mobilized heavy troops to attack Yiqu from the east, south and west, and captured the 25 cities of Yiqu and suffered heavy losses.
Yiqu!
In the next few years, the Qin army annexed Ba, Shu, Ju and other countries to the south, achieving the strategic goals of "riching the country", "widening the territory" and "strengthening the army". It also formed a flank encirclement of Chu State, and then continued to attack Wei.
Han, Chu, Zhao and other countries attacked and captured Wusui, Rangcheng, Puban, Jinyang, Fenling, Xiangcheng and other cities.
In the seventeenth year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (298 BC), Qin attacked Chu and fought at Yu Xi, annihilating 50,000 Chu troops and capturing more than ten cities.
Qi, Han, and Wei were afraid that Qin would continue to expand, so they took advantage of the fact that the Qin army was exhausted from long battles and the main army had not returned from the Bashu land, so they jointly attacked Qin.
After three years of hard fighting, the Qin army finally defeated the Qin army and invaded Hangu Pass. However, the coalition forces got into trouble again and had internal discord over the competition for territory. In the end, they forced Qin to return Wu Sui of South Korea and Fengling of Wei and other places.
Withdrawing the army and hastily ending this second alliance gave Qin the opportunity to restore its national power by using the land of Bashu Tianfu.
In the 21st year of King Nan of Zhou (294 BC), when Qin took advantage of Chu and had no time to care about the Central Plains, it launched a massive attack on Han and Wei. The following year, Bai Qi annihilated 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces in Yique.
King Zhao of Qin claimed to be the "Western Emperor" in Yiyang and respected King Min of Qi as the "Eastern Emperor". The countries in the Central Plains were afraid that the two powers would unite and fall into a situation of being flanked. Su Qin went to Qi to lobby and persuaded King Min to cancel the imperial title and surrendered to King Nan of Zhou
In the twenty-eighth year (287 BC), Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan agreed to unite, with Lord Mengchang as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, and led the five-nation coalition to attack Qin.
However, the five kingdoms had different purposes and each had their own plans. When they entered Xingyang, Cheng Gao began to watch and blame each other and refused to contribute. In order to destroy the alliance of the five kingdoms, Qin took the initiative to cancel the imperial title and returned Wen, Zhi, and Gaoping to Wei.
State, return the prince and Fu Yu to the State of Zhao.
As a result, Zhao, Wei, and Han immediately broke away from the coalition and withdrew their troops back home. Qi and Yan also had to retreat, and the third alliance collapsed before a battle.
Later, the six Shandong kingdoms fought against each other for many years, and Bai Qi took on a large order totaling 1.6 million. The six Shandong kingdoms really did not have the national strength to join forces to fight against Qin.
However, in the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (247 BC), Qin State lost two kings (King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Qin Xiaowen) in three consecutive years. Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu, and Yan seized the opportunity of Qin's internal instability and formed a coalition.
, Lord Xinling commanded the five-nation coalition to attack Qin, and defeated the Qin army outside the river. After chasing it to Hangu Pass, he suddenly led a surprise attack on South Korea, Zhao and Wei, which were allies of the coalition at that time, and the Chu and Han armies.
After a fierce battle, the armies retreated, and Lord Xinling completely lost his credibility. The six kingdoms of Shandong were wary of each other and did not dare to form a coalition.
This is also the reason why Zhang Liang wants to ask Zhang Ji to serve as the joint commander, because the Six Kingdoms of Shandong need a trustworthy person to be the joint commander.
Although Zhang Ji is unknown, he can be recognized by Zhan Lu Jian, the sword of benevolence. Even if he is a descendant of Zhang Yi, the six countries of Shandong will trust him, just like Zhao Wenjun, the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty many years ago, has become the leader of the world.
Respect it.
But, so what if he can gain the trust of all countries in Shandong?
He Zongchang not only needs to be recognized by all countries in Shandong, but also has enough strength to support it.
As the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Yan has the full support of the Wei State; Mengchang Jun is the official and prime minister of the Qi State, and also has the support of the Qi State; Su Qin has the support of Zhao Suhou, so that he can command the coalition forces like an arm; Xinling Lord is benevolent to the Zhao State
, can rely on the support of Zhao and Wei.
These four co-commanders all have the support of their respective countries, so they can command the coalition forces, but they are still unavoidable from the turmoil between the countries, which leads to all kinds of troubles. Who is behind Zhang Ji?
Should we replace him with Lord Xinling?
Zhang Liang just wants him to be the mascot and scapegoat of the United Vertical Alliance, and use him recognized by the Sword of Humanity to attract other countries to join the United Vertical Alliance. If he loses, he will take the blame. If he wins, he can only
Give him some credit.
Zhang Liang put Zhang Ji into the mentality of most scholars during the Warring States Period. In order to become famous, they would go to any lengths, thinking that Zhang Ji would not hesitate to seize this opportunity to leave his name in history and take a gamble.
But Zhang Ji was not a traditional scholar during the Warring States Period. Did he do such a thankless thing just for some fame because his brain was caught?
For a moment, Zhang Ji's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze gradually became deeper when he looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang thought Zhang Ji was hesitating and wanted to continue persuading him, but was interrupted by Zhang Ji's wave of his hand.
"Zifang, there is no need to come here in the future."
Zhang Ji's words made Zhang Liang look ugly. Zhang Ji did not refuse explicitly, but these words of expelling guests were not only disrespectful, but also completely cut off the possibility of continued negotiations between the two parties.
Zhang Ji asked someone to send Zhang Liang, who looked unhappy, out, but he sat in the hall silently for a long time.
He suddenly figured out a lot of things. Maybe he underestimated Zhang Liang, a resourceful man like Han Fei, and also underestimated the mediocre and conservative Prime Minister Han Kaikai.
Yes, how could a conservative man like Zhang Kaidi, who was obsessed with stability, agree with Zhang Liang and Han Fei's risky plan to weaken the Qin Dynasty?
This is not a simple plan to weaken Qin at all, but a serial plan!
He couldn't remember the specific year, but there was still the fifth and last time in history for a merger!
The fifth alliance occurred approximately in the first ten years of Ying Zheng's reign. Before he came to power, Zhao general Pang Nuan led the five-nation coalition of Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Wei to attack Qin!
At that time, the Qin State was trying its best to build the Zheng Guo Canal. The Zheng Guo Canal was about to be repaired, but it was also the period when the Qin State was at its weakest. Zhao led Pang Nuan's coalition forces to attack the final area seventy miles outside Xianyang City.
If Lu Buwei hadn't led his troops back in time to help, and if the five kingdoms were at odds with each other and refused to contribute, Qin would have been almost destroyed in one battle!
