The battle of 0 1 Yiyang was inevitable, and Qin was able to advance eastward. Going east has always been a national policy advocated by Qin, because only by going east can Qin people have hope and future. So Qin has been trying to get through the East Passage. During the Qin Xiaogong period, the economic strength and military strength of Qin State were enhanced through Shang Yang's political reform, and 500 miles of land in Hexi was finally seized from Wei State.
During the reign of Qin Huiwen, Shu was destroyed, which made Yi Qu surrender, and later defeated Chu and Wei, which made Wei cede 15 to Qin. It even occupied all the territory of Wei to the west of the Yellow River and established a military base on the east bank of the Yellow River. During the Qin Wuwang period, the failure of South Korea and the occupation of Yiyang made Qin Jun have the most important base in the East. It laid a solid foundation for Qin to unify the whole country later. Therefore, in the period of Qin Wuwang, the most important thing was to occupy Yiyang. So how important is Yiyang? Why is the status of this war so high?
In fact, Yiyang is a place that not only Qin wants, but also Chu and Wei. South Korea, which owns this place, desperately wants to keep it. Right? Pro-Wei Shanchu, sending troops to Sanchuan, blocking the mouth of Hegou's family, became the way to stay or stay. Wei never left Nanyang, Chu was near Nanzheng, and Qin attacked Yiyang, a new city, to punish Zhou Zhu's crime and invade the land of Chu and Wei. Zhou knows that if you don't save it, the treasure of Jiuding will come out.
Jiuding said that according to the picture book, the world is afraid to listen to the emperor. This Wang Ye also. Today's Fushun is a country colonized by the West, and Rong Di's strength is also harmful to the people, which is not enough to make a name for himself and make a profit. I heard: Those who compete for fame are in the DPRK, and those who compete for profit are in the city. ? Today, Sanchuan and Zhou are the cities of the world, but Wang does not dispute, fighting for Rongdi and going to Wang Yeyuan. ? -Warring States policy
Because this land belongs to the land of four wars, it is very convenient to attack any neighboring country from Yiyang. This is not only the west gate of South Korea, but also a strategic place that Qin Wei, including Chu, are worried about. Qin's occupation of Yiyang actually completely declared that it had the foundation of eastward advancement. Since then, Qin was completely involved in the Central Plains War, and it also had important military bases in the Central Plains.
I didn't get any real help from Wei. Han, Zhao and Wei are all vassal states split from Jin, and in a sense, they are actually allied. In other words, if either party is bullied by other vassal States, the other two countries will help each other. At this time, Wei and South Korea really formed an alliance. If Qin wants to attack South Korea and seize Yiyang, it must deal with two opponents at the same time.
At that time, Wei was very powerful, so it was not cost-effective, so we could only achieve our goal by provoking their alliance. So he sent Gan Mao to see Wei, made an alliance with him, and promised to share the benefits when it was done. Wei was overjoyed and expressed his willingness to send troops to help. So did Wei send troops after all? Actually, no, it's just that he didn't send troops to help South Korea. At that time, Wei took the practice of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, trying to reap the benefits of fishermen.
What really helped South Korea was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty. Yiyang is not only an important barrier for South Korea, but also a barrier for the Zhou royal family. They joined forces with South Korea to fight against the powerful Qin State through Yiyang, which is the only way to survive. Therefore, to persuade Yiyang is not only to split the weak South Korea, but also to put the Zhou royal family on the brink of life and death. The whole thing didn't hurt Wei.
When he invaded Yiyang, he had no idea that Wei would do it. As long as Wei didn't help South Korea, he was already satisfied. Qin Wuwang for three years, Gan Mao said. I want to let the car go through Sanchuan to see Zhoushi, but I can't die. ? Gan Mao said? Please Wei, about to cut Korea, so that it will be accepted. ? As soon as Gan Mao arrives, it's called:? Zi Gui, what did you say to Wang Yue? Wei listened to my words, but the original king didn't cut it? . When it's done, it's all done. ? Go back to Shougui and tell the king that the king welcomes Gan Mao to rest. -Historical records
So how should Qin Wuwang face Wei after winning Yiyang? In fact, there is no need for him to explain anything to Wei. After all, everyone knows him. If Wei really helped Qin, it was. Gan Mao himself is wei ren, so he can travel freely between the two countries, and he shoulders the expectations of the kings of the two countries. He is the best link to deal with the relations between the two countries.
How did Qin Wuwang win Yiyang? At that time, Wei had been stabilized and troops were allowed to attack Yiyang. However, because this is the gateway to South Korea, South Korea has sent heavy troops to guard here. Qin Wuwang has been besieged for more than five months, but it is impossible to capture Yiyang City. Seeing that Qin Jun's morale was already very low, Prime Minister Right's illness began to throw cold water on him at this time, hoping that Qin Wuwang could withdraw.
In desperation, Qin Wuwang intended to send Gan Mao back to the DPRK, but Gan Mao wrote a letter to Qin Wuwang, reminding Qin Wuwang of the alliance between Qin and Wei. At that time, Qin Wuwang agreed to unswervingly support Gan Mao. Thought of here, Qin Wuwang finally sent 50,000 troops to support Gan Mao. Knowing that Qin Jun had increased manpower, South Korea did not dare to underestimate, and immediately sent a general, uncle and baby to support Yiyang. When the war broke out again, Qin Jun finally defeated the Korean army this time, not only taking Yiyang City, but also killing more than 60,000 South Korean soldiers. Qin Wuwang established a military base here, and from then on, it had the geo-capital to compete for the Central Plains.
Yang Le bowed his head again and said? This is not the job of the minister, but also the power of the Lord. ? Today's minister is also a minister of travel. Gui and Gongsun Xuan talked under the threat of Korea, and Wang would listen to them. Because Wang bullied Wang Wei, I was wronged by the public. ? Wang Yue:? If I don't listen, please make an alliance with you. ? Prime Minister Gan Mao was ordered to attack Yiyang. If you don't pull out in May, Lizi and Gongsun Sheng will fight for it. King Wu called Gan Mao to stop. Gan Mao said? The rest of the land is there. ? Wang Yue:? Yes ? Being knowledgeable, Gan Mao attacked him. Decapitate 60 thousand, and then pull Yiyang. Thank you. -Historical records
South Korea at this time, in desperation, had to choose peace, sent countless gold and silver jewelry, in exchange for Qin Wuwang's satisfaction. But Yiyang is already the territory of Qin, which cannot be changed.
Summary: Under the strong military strength, weak countries have no blood at all. The monarchs of Qin are all people with strategic vision. In order to capture Yiyang, Qin Wuwang did not hesitate to send 50,000 more troops, which was a long journey. The purpose is simple. I only hope that Qin has its own territory in the Central Plains. In addition to this purpose, Qin Wuwang is still in the layout. In order to be able to go east, Qin must accumulate its own strength little by little. Yiyang may not be a big deal now, but it will be very important when Qin goes east in the future.
Qin Jun forced South Korea to admit losing control of Yiyang through its powerful military strength, and later released the wolf of Qin into the Central Plains. Once Qin entered the Central Plains, the situation in the world would be unpredictable. After all, this is only a small step for the world, and it is already a big step for Qin. If you don't accumulate steps, you will be thousands of miles. It is precisely because of the continuous accumulation from generation to generation that Qin finally has the ability to seize the world. The battle of Yiyang in Qin Wuwang may be neglected by us, but it will never be forgotten in the history of Qin.
