Leyi

Leyi

Yueyi (Yu è y ì), whose birth and death year is unknown, has a son's surname and a surname of Yue. His name is Yi and his name is YONGBA. Zhongshan Lingshou was an outstanding strategist and strategist in the late Warring States period. He was a descendant of general LeYang of Wei. He worshipped Yan as a general and was granted the title of King Chang to assist King Zhao of Yan in revitalizing the state of Yan.

In 284 B.C., he took command of the Allied forces of the state of Yan and other five countries to attack the state of Qi, even more than 70 cities. He created a famous example in the history of ancient Chinese war in which the weak defeated the strong, and avenged the strong Qi for cutting down Yan. Later, because of the suspicion of King Yanhui, he had no choice but to go to the state of Zhao and was granted the title of wangzhujun in guanjin.

Life of the characters

Early experience

LeYang, the forefather of Leyi, was the general of Wei Wenhou (Weisi, the founding monarch of Wei state). He led his troops to capture Zhongshan (see the battle of Wei to destroy Zhongshan). He was granted Lingshou because of his merit. After the death of LeYang, he was buried in Lingshou. Since then, the descendants of LeYang have settled here for generations. After the restoration of Zhongshan, he was defeated by King Wuling of Zhao (see Zhao's attack on Zhongshan), and Leyi became a member of Zhao. Yue Yi is a smart young man who likes the art of war. Someone in the state of Zhao once recommended him to be an official. When King Wuling was besieged and starved to death in the sand dune palace, he left the state of Zhao and went to the state of Wei. Later, he heard that King Yanzhao was defeated by the state of Qi because of his son's ruling and the chaos of the state of Yan. Therefore, King Yanzhao hated the state of Qi very much and never forgot to avenge it one day. The state of Yan is a small and weak country, which is located in a remote area. Its national strength can not defeat the enemy. Therefore, King Zhao of Yan suppressed his status and courted the virtuous corporal. He first courted Guo Kai to attract the world's virtuous people. At this time, Yue Yi sent an envoy to the state of Yan for the king of Wei Zhao. The king of Yan received him as a guest. Yue Yi refused to be modest. Later, he finally presented a gift to King Yanzhao and expressed his willingness to be a minister. King Yanzhao appointed him as Yaqing. He held this position for a long time.

Joint attack

At that time, King min of Qi was very powerful. In the south, he defeated Tang Yu, the Prime Minister of Chu, in Chongqiu. In the west, he defeated Wei and Zhao in guanjin. Then he united with Han, Zhao and Wei to attack Qin. He also helped Zhao destroy Zhongshan and song, and expanded the territory of more than 1000 Li. He and King Zhao of Qin jointly fought for the title of emperor. Soon after, he cancelled the title of East emperor and became king. All the vassal states intended to deviate from Qin and return to Qi. But king Qi Min was arrogant and arrogant, and the people could not stand his tyranny. King Yanzhao thought that the opportunity to attack the state of Qi had come, so he asked Yue Yi about the attack on the state of Qi. Le Yi replied: "Qi was a hegemonic state. Now it still has the foundation of hegemony. It has a vast land and a large population. It can't be attacked alone easily. If the king wants to attack it, it's better to unite with the state of Zhao, the state of Chu and the state of Wei to attack it. " So King Yan Zhao sent Yue Yi to make an alliance with King Zhao Huiwen, and sent others to unite Chu and Wei, and let Zhao persuade Qin by attacking Qi. Because the princes thought that the tyranny of Qi Min Wang Jiao was also a disaster to all countries, they all fought with the United Kingdom of Yan to attack Qi. Le Yi came back to report the situation of his mission. King Yan Zhao mobilized the troops of the whole country and sent Le Yi as the general. King Zhao Huiwen granted the prime minister's seal to le Yi. Yue Yi then unified command of Zhao, Chu, Han, Wei, Yan five countries army to attack Qi. Qi Min Wang Wen reported that he personally led the Qi army to the west of Jishui (in the northwest of Jinan, Shandong Province). When the two armies met, Leyi personally came to the former enemy and led the five countries to launch a fierce attack on the Qi army. King min of Qi was defeated and led the remnant army to flee back to Linzi, the capital of Qi (see the battle of Jixi). Yue Yi sent all the warlords' troops to fight in Linzi and planned to lead Yan's troops to destroy Qi. Ju Xin, a counsellor, thought that Yan army could not destroy Qi independently, and opposed long-distance driving. Le Yi thinks that the elite of Qi army has been lost, the country is in chaos, the situation of weak Yan and strong Qi has been reversed, and he insists on leading Yan army to pursue after victory. Leading the army to pursue, the state of Qi was in great disorder, and King min of Qi was defeated and fled.

LianZhan Lianke

Under the command of Yue Yi, the army of Yan pursued the defeated and fleeing enemy alone until Linzi, the capital of Qi. When King min of Qi saw that it was difficult to defend Linzi, he fled to Juyi and defended it. Qi Yi led his own patrol troops to the occupied cities and refused to surrender. Yue Yi concentrated his strength on attacking Linzi. After taking Linzi, he seized all the treasures of the state of Qi and the sacrificial utensils from the ancestral temples and transported them to the state of Yan. King Yanzhao was overjoyed and went to Jishui bank to comfort the army, reward and reward the soldiers with wine and meat. He granted the state of Chang to Leyi and named it king of Chang. It was king Yanzhao who brought back the spoils seized in the state of Qi to the state of Yan, and let Leyi continue to lead the troops to attack the cities of Qi that had not yet been won. le Yi stayed in Qi for five years, and conquered more than 70 Qi cities, all of which were classified as counties and belonged to the state of Yan. Only Ju and Jimo didn't accept it. Yan was stronger than ever before. Yue Yi believes that only relying on force to break the city can't satisfy the people's will. Even if the people don't accept it, they can't consolidate even if they completely occupy the state of Qi. Therefore, he adopted the policy of encircling but not attacking Jucheng and Jimo, and implemented the policies of reducing taxes, abolishing harsh government, respecting local customs, protecting the inherent culture of Qi, and giving preferential treatment to local celebrities, in order to collapse Qi fundamentally.

fail on the verge of success

In 279 BC, King Yanzhao died, and the crown prince Lezi ascended the throne, known as king Yanhui. King Yan Hui was dissatisfied with Yue Yi when he was the crown prince. After he ascended the throne, Tian Dan of the state of Qi realized that he was in conflict with Yue Yi, so he carried out a countervailing plan against the state of Yan, spreading a rumor that "only two cities were not captured by the cities of the state of Qi. It is said that Yue Yi has a grudge against the newly ascended monarch of the state of Yan. Yue Yi uses his troops intermittently and deliberately delays his time to stay in the state of Qi and prepare to become king in the state of Qi. What Qi was worried about was that other generals would come. " At that time, King Yan Hui had already suspected Yue Yi, and was provoked by the Anti Japanese tactics of the state of Qi, so he sent Qijie to replace Yue Yi as general, and recalled Yue Yi. Yue Yi knew in his heart that it was ill intentioned for King Yanhui to send someone to replace him. He was afraid that he would be killed after returning home, so he went west to surrender to the state of Zhao. The state of Zhao granted the place guanjin to Leyi, named wangzhujun. Zhao has great respect for Leyi, and you pet is used to shock and deter the states of Yan and Qi. Later, Tiandan of Qi Kingdom fought with Qijie. He set up a trick to confuse the Yan army. As a result, he defeated the Qijie army under Jimo City. Then he chased the Yan army and went north to catch up with the Yellow River. He recovered all the cities of Qi Kingdom and welcomed the king of Qi Xiang back to Linzi, the capital city. King Hui of Yan regretted that he sent a cavalry to replace Yue Yi, which resulted in Yan's army's disastrous defeat and the loss of Qi's land. However, he resented Yue Yi's surrender to the state of Zhao. I'm afraid that the state of Zhao would appoint Yue Yi to attack Yan on the occasion of Yan's defeat. King Yanhui sent people to Zhao to blame Yue Yi, and apologized to him: "the former king entrusted the whole Yan state to the general. The general avenged the former king for the defeat of the state of Qi in the war of Yan. People all over the world are shocked. How can I forget the contribution of the general one day! Just when the late king passed away, I ascended the throne at the beginning. It was the left and right people who delayed me. The reason why I sent the cavalry robber to replace the general is that the general has been away for many years and has been living in the open air. Therefore, I recalled the general to take a rest for a while, so as to discuss the grand plan of the imperial government. I didn't want the general to listen to the rumors and think that he didn't get along with me, so he abandoned the state of Yan and returned to the state of Zhao. It's OK for the general to plan for himself, but how can he live up to the kindness of the former king to the general? " for this reason, Le Yi generously wrote the famous book "report to King Hui of Yan" (there is a dispute here, and some people think that the book is based on the exaggeration of the tourists, and Le Yi's sole conspiracy to break through Qi and false pretense), which shows his loyalty to the former king, and refutes all kinds of censure from the former king He also expressed his indignation that he was on the verge of success and failure, and declared his fighting spirit of not being a fool, loyal to a fool, and dying of a wronged ghost. Therefore, King Hui of Yan granted Yue Jian, the son of Yue Yi, the king of Chang, and Yue Yi went back and forth between the states of Zhao and Yan to make friends with them again, and both of them appointed him as guest minister. Yue Yi died in the state of Zhao.

Historical evaluation

Sima Qian: "when Kuai Tong and his father Yan read Yueyi's report to the king of Yan, they did not abandon the book and wept. Lechen public school Huangdi, Laozi, the teacher's name is the father-in-law of the river, I do not know its origin. He's father-in-law teaches an Qisheng, an Qisheng teaches Mao Xigong, Mao Xigong, Le Xiagong, Le Xiangong, Le CHENGONG, Le CHENGONG, gaigong. Gai Gongjiao was the national teacher of Cao Xiang in Gaomi and Jiaoxi of Qi Dynasty Jia Yi: "Qi Ming, Zhou Zui, Chen Fu, Zhao Hua, Lou Huan, Zhai Jing, Su Li and Le Yi all have their own ideas." Liu Xiang: "King Zhao of Yan used Yue Yi to weaken Yan's troops, break through the rivalry between the strong and the Qi, and slaughtered seventy cities, while King Hui Fei Yue Yi replaced him with riding and robbing, and the soldiers broke through and killed seventy cities." Xia houxuan: "most people talk about it by Yue Yi's setting up camp in Jimo from time to time. If a man wants to be virtuous in ancient times, he should be great and far away first. He must be circuitous and difficult to get through, and then he can't be. Today's taste of Yue family is not enough, but much inferior. This is to make the former sages regret their loss in the future. The book of King Hui of Yan, which was left by Yuesheng, is not what Yuesheng wanted Zhang Fu: "I will defeat Yan with perseverance. I will unite the five countries to defeat Qi. I will be ashamed of the Snow King. I will besiege the city but not rush to attack. I will make the three generals poor and serve them with righteousness. This is the division of benevolent people. I will fight against Jixi with the rest of the five countries. I will fight against Jixi with blood
