"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? So much so that starting from King Hui of Qin, during his reign, if the Shandong countries did not join forces to attack Qin once, the Qin kings of that generation would wonder, did the six Shandong countries look down on him?
But if you combine it 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, was reused by King Qin Huiwen, and began his vigorous march eastward!
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.
Qin's rapid expansion prompted all countries to unite. In the third year of King Zhou Shenliang's reign (318 BC), Wei Prime Minister Gongsun Yan teamed up with the five kingdoms to unite Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu to attack Qin. At the same time, he persuaded Yi Qu. Attack Qin's flank and back.
As a result, the Chu and Yan armies fought passively and waited and waited. In fact, only Wei, Zhao, and Han sent troops. The coalition forces attacked Hangu Pass and were repulsed by the Qin army. The following year, the Qin Army's general "think tank" Ying Ji defeated the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces in Xiuyu 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 "rich country", "wide territory" and "strong 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 (298 BC), Qin attacked Chu and fought at Yu Xi, annihilating 50,000 Chu troops and capturing more than ten cities.
Fearing that Qin would continue to expand, Qi, Han, and Wei took advantage of the fact that the Qin army was exhausted from long battles and the main force had not returned from Bashu, 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 through the land of Bashu Tianfu.
In the 21st year of King Nan of Zhou (294 BC), when Qin took advantage of the fact that Chu was powerless and Qi 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 Korean and Wei coalition forces in Yique.
King Qin Zhao called himself the "Western Emperor" in Yiyang, and respected Qi King Min as the "Eastern Emperor". The countries in the Central Plains are afraid that the two powers will unite and be trapped in a situation of being flanked. Su Qin went to Qi to lobby and persuaded King Min to cancel the imperial title. In the 28th year of King Nan of Zhou (287 BC), Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan agreed to join forces, with Lord Mengchang as the commander-in-chief of the coalition, and led the five-nation coalition to attack Qin.
However, the five countries had different purposes and each had their own plans. When they entered Xingyang and Chenggao, they 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, returned the previously occupied Wen, Zhi, and Gaoping to Wei, and returned Wang Gong and Fu Yu to 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 no choice but to retreat. The third alliance collapsed before a battle.
Later, the six Shandong kingdoms fought with each other for many years, and Bai Qi took another large order totaling 1.6 million. The six Shandong kingdoms really did not have the national strength to join forces to resist Qin.
However, in the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (247 BC), Qin lost two kings (King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Xiaowen of Qin) for 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, which was still an ally of the coalition at that time. The armies of Zhao and Wei and Chu and Han 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 Humanity. Even if he is a descendant of Zhang Yi, the six kingdoms of Shandong will trust him, just like Zhao Wenjun, the king of the Duke of Eastern Zhou 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 support behind 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 kind 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 that they can command the coalition forces. However, they are still inevitably involved in the turmoil between the countries, which leads to all kinds of troubles. Who is behind Zhang Ji?
And 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, who would do anything to become famous, 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, you don't have 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, and he sat in the hall silently for a long time.
He suddenly figured out a lot of things. Maybe he underestimated wise men like Zhang Liang and Han Fei, and also underestimated the mediocre and conservative Prime Minister Han Kaikai.
Yes, how could a conservative man like Zhang Kaidi, who wanted 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 that there was 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 there was bad blood among the five countries and they refused to contribute, Qin would have almost been destroyed in one battle!

PS: The fifth alliance is not an exaggeration by the author. It is true that the Qin State was almost destroyed... It can only be said that the Qin State has a prosperous national fortune and the protection of successive Qin kings. Lu Buwei then hurriedly led his army back to Xianyang to aid Xianyang with a bunch of tired people. The commander of the army attacked the Chu army with a posture that even if the Qin Kingdom was about to perish, I would pull you and the Chu Kingdom to perish together. The Chu army was so frightened that the Chu army quickly retreated back to the country. Otherwise, if the five kingdoms continued to advance, Xianyang would really be captured. Qin might really be destroyed...
