Historical allusion 1 of making distant friends and attacking close friends
Making friends far and attacking close friends comes from the "Warring States Policy". Qin Ce: Fan Ju said: "It is better for the king to make friends from far away and attack at close range. If you get an inch, it will be the king's inch; if you get a ruler, it will be the king's ruler." This is a famous saying by Fan Ju to persuade the King of Qin.
At the same time, Fan Ju reminded King Zhao that Qin’s royal power was too weak and needed to be strengthened. King Zhao of Qin then deposed the Queen Mother (i.e. Empress Dowager Mi Bazi) in 266 BC, drove the four major nobles in the country out of Hangu Pass, and worshiped Fan Ju as his prime minister.
At the end of the Warring States Period, seven heroes competed for hegemony. After Qin's Shang Martingale Reform, its power developed the fastest. King Zhao of Qin began to plot to annex the six countries and dominate the Central Plains. In 270 BC, King Zhao of Qin prepared to attack Qi. At this time, Fan Ju proposed to King Zhao of Qin the strategy of "diplomating far away and attacking close by" to prevent Qin from attacking Qi. He said: Qi is powerful and far away from Qin. To attack Qi, the troops have to pass through Han and Wei. If you send too few troops, it will be difficult to win; if you send too many troops, you won't be able to occupy Qi's land. It is better to attack the neighboring countries Han and Wei first and gradually advance. In order to prevent Qi from forming an alliance with Han and Wei, King Qin Zhao sent envoys to actively form an alliance with Qi. For more than 40 years, Qin Shihuang continued to adhere to the policy of "diplomating far away and attacking close". He made friends with Qi and Chu from far away, first captured Guo and Wei, then advanced from both wings to defeat Zhao and Yan, unifying the north; conquered Chu and pacified the south; and finally conquered the state of Chu and pacified the south. Qi State also took care of it. Qin Shihuang fought for ten years. Finally, the desire to unify China was realized. Historical allusion 2 of distant friendship and close attack
Lin Xiangru and Lian Po worked together to defend Zhao, but Qin really did not dare to invade. But Qin got a lot of land from Chu and Wei. At that time, the real power of the Qin State was in the hands of the Queen Mother of Qin and her brother Ranghou Wei Ran. In 270 BC, Marquis Rang wanted to send troops to attack Qi.
At this time, King Qin Zhaoxiang received a letter from a man named Zhang Lu, saying that he had something important to see and asked to see him.
Zhang Lu was originally from the Wei state, and his original name was Fan Ju (雎音jū, 一为fanju, pronounced suī). He was originally a disciple of Xu Jia (sound gǔ), a senior official in the state of Wei. One time, Xu Jia took Fan Ju on a mission to Qi. King Qi Xiang heard that Fan Ju was quite talented, so he secretly sent someone to see Fan Ju and gave him a generous gift, but Fan Ju firmly refused.
Because of this incident, Xu Jia suspected that he had an affair with Qi. After returning to the state of Wei, he reported it to the prime minister Wei Qi. Wei Qi tortured Fan Ju so hard that he almost lost his breath, his ribs were broken, and two of his front teeth were knocked out. Finally, Wei Qi asked someone to wrap him in a ragged mat and throw him in the toilet.
When it got dark, Fan Ju woke up from his coma and saw a soldier guarding him. Fan Ju begged him for help. The guard secretly let him go, but reported to Wei Qi that Fan Ju was dead.
In order to avoid being pursued by Wei Qi, Fan Ju changed his name and called himself Zhang Lu.
At that time, an envoy from Qin State went to Wei State, and Fan Ju secretly went to see the envoy. The envoy took him to Qin.
Fan Ju arrived in Qin and gave a memorial to King Qin Zhaoxiang. King Qin Zhaoxiang agreed on a date to receive him in the palace.
On that day, Fan Ju went up to leave his official post. On the way to the palace, he met King Qin Zhaoxiang coming in a carriage. Fan Ju deliberately pretended not to know it was King Qin and did not avoid it.
The attendants of King Qin shouted loudly: "The king is here."
Fan Ju said coldly: "What, is there a king in Qin?"
Now During the quarrel, King Qin Zhaoxiang arrived, and Fan Ju was still there muttering: "I only heard that Qin has a queen mother and Ranghou, but where is the king?"
This sentence is exactly what King Qin is talking about. In my heart. He hurriedly invited Fan Ju to the palace, ordered the left and right to withdraw, and met Fan Ju alone.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin said: "I sincerely ask for your advice, Sir. No matter who is involved, from the Queen Mother to the officials of the court, Sir, just tell the truth."
Fan Ju discussed it It's open. He said: "The land of Qin is vast and the soldiers are brave. It is easy to rule the princes, but there has been no success in fifteen years. This cannot but be said that the prime minister (referring to Ranghou) is not loyal to Qin. The king also made mistakes."
King Qin Zhaoxiang said: "Where do you think I made mistakes?"
Fan Ju said: "Qi is far away from Qin, and there is a gap in between. With Korea and Wei.
The king wants to send troops to attack Qi. Even if everything goes smoothly and Qi is defeated, the king will not be able to connect Qi and Qin. For your Majesty's sake, the best way is to make friends from far away and attack close by. We need to temporarily stabilize Qi State, which is far away from us, and conquer some nearby countries first. In this way, Qin's territory can be expanded. Hitting an inch is an inch, hitting a foot is a foot. If Han and Wei were annexed first, Qi would not be able to survive. "
King Qin Zhaoxiang nodded in agreement and said: "If Qin State can really conquer the six countries and unify the Central Plains, it all depends on Sir's strategy of making contacts far away and attacking close quarters. ”
At that moment, King Qin Zhaoxiang paid Fan Ju a visit, and according to his plan, he made Korea and Wei the main targets of attack.
A few years later, King Qin Zhaoxiang The Prime Minister Ranghou was dismissed from his post, and the Queen Mother was not allowed to participate in the government affairs. He officially appointed Fan Ju as the Prime Minister.
The King of Wei was threatened by the Qin State and was very panicked. The Prime Minister Wei Qi heard that the Prime Minister of the Qin State was Wei. The people of the country sent Xu Jia to Qin to sue for peace.
Fan Ju heard that Xu Jia had arrived in Qin, so he changed into old clothes and went to the guest house to see him. When Xu Jia saw that Fan Ju was still alive, he was startled and said, "What are you doing now?"
Fan Ju said, "I am just here to serve as a servant. "
Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold, Xu Jia took out a cocoon silk coat and gave it to Fan Ju, and kept him to eat with him.
Xu Jia said: "I heard that the King of Qin attached great importance to Prime Minister Zhang Lu. I really want to meet him. Is there anyone who can introduce him to me?"
Fan Ju said, "My master is acquainted with the prime minister. The doctor wants to see the prime minister, so I will wait for you to see him. "
Fan Ju accompanied Xu Jia to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said to Xu Jia: "Doctor, wait a moment, I will go and report." "
Not long after Fan Ju entered, an order came from inside: The Prime Minister ascended the hall and asked Xu Jia to go in. Xu Jia asked the waiter guarding the door: "Uncle Fan, who came with me just now, why doesn't he come out? "
The gatekeeper said: "Uncle Fan, where did you come from? Isn't the person who just entered here our prime minister?"
Xu Jia then knew that Prime Minister Zhang Lu was Fan Ju, and was frightened. He was covered in cold sweat. After he entered, he knelt on the ground and crawled in front of Fan Ju, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I, Xu Jia, am blind and have offended the prime minister. Please punish me." "
Fan Ju scolded Xu Jia severely, and then said: "You met me today and gave me this silk robe, which finally made me feel a little bit human. For this reason, I will spare your life. "Then, he asked Xu Jia to send a message to King Wei, asking King Wei to kill Wei Qi before allowing Wei to cede territory and seek peace.
Xu Jia returned to Wei and reported Fan Ju's words to Wei. King Wei was willing to cede territory and seek peace. Wei Qi had no choice but to commit suicide.
