Sengoku Seven Heroes: A Contest of Life and Death in a Troubled World

In 770 BC, king Ping of Zhou moved the capital to Luoyi, the territory shrank significantly, the royal family declined, the princes gradually began not to take the "co-lord of the world" Zhou Tianzi seriously, and even the incident of Zheng Zhuanggong "shooting the king's shoulder" was blatantly committed (Qiu, the king was the prince of Zheng, Zheng Bo Yuzhi ... Battle in The Jungle.... Wang Zhao was defeated, and Zhu Shot Wang Zhong shoulder "Spring and Autumn Zuo Clan Biography").

Since then, Zhou Tianzi's last fig leaf has been torn off. The authority above falls to the ground and cannot control the situation, then the people below will not be able to resist, and the capable people will naturally take advantage of the situation, compete to become the boss, and re-establish authority and order, thus opening the era of the great struggle between the princes and the struggle for hegemony. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States, through the cruel audition of the survival of the fittest, the players of the princely states who entered the competition point were: Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei.

In the early Warring States period, the most likely to dominate the world was the State of Wei. The State of Wei is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the country that attracts the most talents, Zhai Huang, Wu Qi, Ximen Leopard, Li Wu, Le Yang, Wei Martingale (Shang Martin), Sun Zhen, Pang Juan, Fan Ju, Xin Lingjun (Zong Room) ... Each single screw out is a Haojie who is a person who stands alone, but although Wei Guo has a good hand, it is mediocre (it is Yong, not dim), and it is a mess. In addition to Wei Wenhou, the remaining generations of monarchs have been doing the "enemy" behavior of "holding the gang and giving people a handle", pushing talents outward alive, making the Wei state a veritable talent transportation base. Moreover, every brain drain brought indelible damage to the State of Wei, the loss of Sun Zhi, the battle of Guiling, and Maling, which caused the State of Wei to be seriously injured and fell from the altar of hegemony; the loss of Wei Martingale (Shang Martingale), which made Wu Qi open up the West River, so that the State of Wei had been strategically suppressing the strategic advantage of the State of Qin was lost; the loss of Fan Ju, a "long-distance and close attack", so that the State of Wei bore the brunt of it and was madly trampled by the State of Qin, and eventually led to the disaster of the fall of the country; the only Xinling Jun in the later period was also depressed because of the suspicion between brothers. In the end, when the State of Qin destroyed Wei, even a decent figure could not be supported, unlike the State of Chu that had Xiang Yan and the State of Zhao had Li Mu.

At the beginning of the Warring States of Zhao, due to the strength of the State of Wei, it was suppressed by the State of Wei, and the Battle of Guiling of Sun Zhi was to "encircle Wei and save Zhao". Because the geographical location is in the land of four wars, there is the Qin state in the west, the Wei state in the south, the qi state in the east, the yan country in the northeast, and the fierce nomadic peoples such as Lin Hu, Lou Fu, Dong Hu and Xiongnu in the north, in order to survive and strengthen themselves, King Wuling of Zhao wuling learned the military strengths of the Nomadic people and combined with the advanced military technology in the Central Plains, carried out a large-scale comprehensive military reform, "Hufu Riding and Shooting". The effect of the reform was very obvious, and in the third year after the implementation of Hufu riding and shooting, Zhongshan, Lin Hu, and Lou Fu were all subdued, which greatly increased the strength of the Zhao state ("Shi Zhao Zhiqiang, Jia Yu Sanjin"), and directly had the confidence and courage to challenge the super hegemony Qin State at that time (the main father (King Wuling of Zhao)........ The hu-clad general Dafu was slightly hudi in the northwest and wanted to attack Qin from the clouds and Jiuyuan directly south. Unfortunately, because of the later abolition of Chang Li, it led to civil unrest and missed the opportunity. After that, in the Battle of Changping, 400,000 elites were brutally killed, and Zhao Guo completely lost the opportunity and possibility of unifying the world.

As for South Korea, throughout the entire history of the Warring States, there has basically been no rise, and the only commendable thing is that during the Han Zhaohou period, he destroyed the small bully Zheng Guo, who "shot the king in the shoulder" in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and appointed Shen Buhao to carry out reforms, so that "the body of the final Shen Zi, the country ruled the army strongly, and there was no invader of Korea." Unfortunately, among the three branches of jin, The Korean foundation is the weakest, and even after the Reform of Shen Bu harm, it can only protect itself from "no invaders of Korea", and in the end, in the process of Qin unification of the world, it was the first to be destroyed.

The Seven Xiongs of Wei, Zhao, and Han were newly founded princely states after the three branches of the Jin Dynasty, while Qin, Chu, Yan, and Qi continued from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States to the old princely states (of which the State of Qi changed from 'Jiang Qi' to 'Tian Qi', changing the surname without changing the national name). Among the old princely states, the state of Qi due to the superior geographical environment, located on the coast of the East China Sea, the land is fertile, in the Spring and Autumn Period under the administration of Guan Zhong, it was already the first hegemonic state, and then it has maintained the status and strength of a big country, and in the early years of the Warring States, the powerful State of Wei also took a look at the State of Qi, in 334 BC, King Hui of Wei and King Wei of Qi met in Xuzhou, jointly called king, historical name: "King Xiang of Xuzhou". After that, the selection of talents and abilities, political reforms, the revision of the legal system, the selection of talents and the appointment of talents, the distinction between rewards and punishments, and the strengthening of national strength. After the two battles of Guiling and Maling, the Wei army was defeated, and then the combined princes destroyed the Song state, taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Yan, attacking the Yan capital, and began to dominate the princes, at that time, the newly rising Qin state was also quite jealous of the state of Qi, and even sent emissaries to the state of Qi to propose that the east and west be established as emperors (in the winter of October, the king of Qin was called the western emperor, and the king of Liqi was sent to the eastern emperor), which vaguely also had the ability to unify the world. In the face of the excellent situation, the State of Qi repeatedly made a faint move, cutting the Huaibei of Chu in the south, invading the Three Jins in the west, offending allies and igniting fires everywhere, and as a result, the Yan general Le Yi united with the Five Kingdoms Alliance, and almost destroyed the State of Qi, zongmutian relied on the two cities of Ju and Jimo, counterattacked successfully, defeated the State of Yan, and restored the State of Qi, but after this battle, the national strength was no longer able to return to the past, and then it has always adopted a conservative ostrich policy, sitting and watching the other countries being annexed by the State of Qin one by one until it perished.

The State of Yan has always been unknown during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was even once almost destroyed by the northern ethnic minority Shanrong, and when it came to the Warring States, the "Rebellion of the Sons" broke out, and the State of Qi took the opportunity to enter and send a large army to destroy Yan. Later, with the support of King Wuling of Zhao, the country was restored. After the restoration, King Yan Zhao, in order to avenge the qi state by taking advantage of the fire and robbery, became angry and strong, recruited sages, exerted great efforts to govern, and appointed Le Yi to attack Qi and Qin to break through Eastern Hu Korea, which was extremely prosperous. However, this strong endurance was too weak, and the State of Yan, after the death of the wise King Of Yan Zhao, quickly declined, and fought with neighboring countries and was almost defeated, and even the Zhao State, which was seriously injured after the Battle of Changping, could easily defeat the State of Yan. Therefore, in the face of the aggressive situation of the later Qin state, unable to resist militarily, he chose to make a desperate bet, sending the assassin Jing Ke to risk assassination to block the Qin state from attacking Yan, and the result failed, and the Yan state also received a box lunch.

The State of Chu, the largest princely state in the territory of the Seven Heroes, the only country in the State of Qin to pour troops into the whole country, and the country that fell out of the nest before it perished, was already a first-class power in the Spring and Autumn Period, ranking among the five hegemons, and was also the first of all the princely states to claim the title of king. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was briefly destroyed by the newly rising State of Wu, and then quickly restored its national strength with the help of the State of Qin. At the beginning of the Warring States period, Wu Qi was appointed to reform, for a time the army was strong and strong, and frequently conquered various princely states and tribes in the southeast and south, during the period of King Xuan of Chu and King Wei of Chu, the territory stretched from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain, and Wuling Mountain in the west to the sea in the east, from Nanling in the south, to central Henan, Anhui and northern Jiangsu, southeastern Shaanxi, and southeastern Shanxi, covering a vast territory, and in the early days of King Huai of Chu, he attacked the last hegemonic state of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yueguo, and achieved the land of Wuyue, reaching its peak, and also possessing the strength to unify the world. Unfortunately, due to the excessive territory, the lack of governance ability in the central part of the Chu State, and the slow digestion of the annexed territory, the division of the clans into the imperial halls led to the chaos of the dynasty and the darkness of the government, coupled with the fact that the King of Chu Huai was relatively faint, and the Qin State was played on the palm of the hand, so that the power of the Chu State was constantly weakened, and finally he himself died in the Qin State. In addition, under the crazy blow of the famous Qin general Bai Qi, the Chu state inevitably slowly declined.

The victorious Qin State at the beginning of the game had no obvious advantage over the other six countries in terms of status and strength, and even some were inferior. The state of Qin was founded in the Zhou Ping King moved east, before this the State of Qin has not had a title, just a vassal of Zhou, not among the princes, and then inu Rong destroyed Western Zhou, the State of Qin led troops to escort the King of Zhou Ping, knighted as an uncle, after moving east, the fallen area around the Fenghe River in the Qishan Mountains of Western Zhou was sealed to Qin, that piece of land is basically the area occupied by Inuyasha, the King of Zhou Ping could not recover, so he made a shunshui favor, threw the burden to the Qin state, and helped himself to block the knife. After several generations of efforts, the State of Qin gradually recovered the lost land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, split the land for thousands of miles, and became a big country, which formed the first big advantage of the Qin State, that is, geographical advantages. Obtaining the area around Guanzhong, Hangu Natural Danger can not only be closed to self-preservation and development, but also can be encroached on by the east. Therefore, with geographical advantages, during the Qin Mugong period, he once defeated the Jin state, annexed more than thirty countries in Xirong, and became a regional hegemon. However, the State of Qin was located in the western region, mixed with Rong Di, cultural backwardness, barbaric life, Kong Meng lectured, traveled around the world, and stopped at Qin alone and did not enter. The country is weak, culturally backward, often bullied, powerless to fight back, and domestic turmoil, endless fighting. As a result, the princes were humbled. At the beginning of the Warring States, due to the rise of the State of Wei, the backward State of Qin bordered the State of Wei, and has been surviving the suppression of the State of Wei, and the Battle of Yin and Jin was almost destroyed, and later because of the internal struggle for power and profit within the State of Wei, Wu Qi was forced to take away, which gave the State of Qin a chance to breathe. In order to reverse this situation, Qin Xiaogong, the twenty-fifth monarch of the State of Qin, issued an edict to seek meritocracy, appointed Shang Martin, a talent lost from the State of Wei, to carry out a thorough reform of the law, and opened the road of counterattack in the State of Qin. Since then, successive monarchs have adhered to the political line of Shang Martin and Qin Xiaogong, and recruited a large number of talents from all over the world, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Fan Ju, Li Si, Wei Jizi. After that, "the south took Hanzhong, the west lifted Ba and Shu, the east cut the land of anointing, and the north received the key counties." Officially transformed into the "Qin of the Tiger and Wolf", to qin shi huang, and finally "Yu Lie of the Sixth Dynasty, Zhen Chang Ce and Yu Yunei, swallowed the princes of the second week and died, performed the supreme and made the Liuhe, and lashed out and whipped the world, and vied the world." "Accomplished a task that seemed otherwise impossible.
