Life of the characters

Two times for quality

Xiong Heng was the son of King Huai of Chu. During the reign of King Huai of Chu, Xiong Heng was the crown prince. In the 26th year of King Huai of Chu (303 BC), Qi, Han and Wei united with Qin because of Chu's betrayal of the alliance, so they jointly attacked Chu. King Huai of Chu sent Prince Xiong Heng to the state of Qin as a hostage to ask for rescue. Qin sent Ke Qing Tong (surname unknown, name Tong) to lead the army to save Chu, and the Three Kingdoms left.

In the 27th year of King Huai of Chu (302 BC), Xiong Heng had a private fight with a doctor in the state of Qin. Xiong Heng killed him and fled back to the state of Chu.

In the 29th year of King Huai of Chu (300 BC), the state of Qin attacked the state of Chu and defeated the Chu army. The Chu army killed 20000 soldiers, and the Qin army killed general Jing que of Chu. King Huai of Chu was afraid, so he sent Xiong Heng as a hostage to the state of Qi to seek peace.

Return to China and succeed to the throne

In the thirtieth year of King Huai of Chu (299 BC), the state of Qin attacked Chu again and occupied eight cities of Chu. King Zhao of Qin sent a letter to King Huai of Chu, saying, "at the beginning, I made an appointment with you to become a brother, and made an alliance in Huangji. You took the prince as a hostage. The relationship is very harmonious. The prince insulted and killed my important minister, but he fled back without apology. I am really very angry. I sent troops to occupy your border. Now I hear that you sent the prince to the state of Qi as a hostage for peace. The border between Qin and Chu had been related by marriage for a long time. But now that Qin and Chu were at odds, they could not command the princes. I'd like to meet with you in Wuguan, make an agreement face to face, and make an alliance. This is my wish. I'll be bold to tell you. "

When King Huai of Chu saw the letter from King Zhao of Qin, he was very worried about it. King Huai of Chu wanted to go to Wuguan, but he was afraid of being cheated. If he didn't go, he was afraid that King Zhao of Qin would be angry. Zhaoju said, "don't go, king. Just mobilize the army to guard the city. The state of Qin, like a tiger and a wolf, can not be believed to have the ambition of annexing the princes. " Zilan, the son of King Huai of Chu and Xiong Heng's younger brother, advised King Huai of Chu to go and said, "how can you refuse the kindness of King Qin?" So King Huai of Chu went to meet with King Zhao of Qin. King Zhao ordered a general to ambush in Wuguan, pretending to be king Qin. As soon as king Huai of Chu arrived, he closed the military pass, so he hijacked King Huai of Chu and went to Xianyang to meet King Zhao of Qin in zhangtai. King Zhao of Qin treated him like a vassal and did not have to meet each other equally. King Huai of Chu was so angry that he regretted not listening to Zhaoju. So the state of Qin detained King Huai of Chu and coerced him into ceding Wu and the counties in Central Guizhou. King Huai of Chu wanted to make a treaty, but the state of Qin had to get land first. King Huai of Chu said angrily, "the state of Qin deceived me and forced me to cede my land!" He no longer promised him, so he detained him.

The ministers of the state of Chu were worried about this, so they discussed with each other and said, "our king can't come back in the state of Qin. He is threatening to secede the land, and the prince is hostage in the state of Qi. If Qi and Qin conspire, we will perish." So he wanted to make king Huai's son king in China. Zhao Ju said, "the king and the prince are both detained by the princes, but it is not appropriate for us to support his concubines against the king's orders." So he pretended that King Huai of Chu had passed away and sent an obituary to the state of Qi. King min of Qi said to the prime minister, "it's better to detain the crown prince of Chu and ask for the land of Huaibei of Chu." The prime minister said, "no, if there is a new king in the state of Chu, then we will guard a useless hostage and do injustice in front of the world." Someone said, "No. If the state of Chu establishes a king, it happens to make a deal with the new king and say, "give us the Lower East Kingdom, and I will kill the prince for you. Otherwise, we will support and establish the prince with Qin, Han and Wei." In this way, the eastern countries will get it. " King min of Qi finally adopted the state minister's plan to release Xiong Heng. Xiong Heng returned to the state of Chu and inherited the throne as king Qingxiang of Chu. So he told the state of Qin, "relying on the blessing of the state, the state of Chu has a new king."

My father died and broke up with me

In the first year of King Qingxiang of Chu (298 BC), the state of Qin threatened King Huai of Chu with no land. The state of Chu established a new king to deal with the state of Qin. King Zhao of Qin was so angry that he sent troops out of Wuguan to attack the state of Chu, defeated the army of Chu, killed 50000 people of the army of Chu, and captured sixteen cities such as Jieyi of Chu.

In the second year of King Qingxiang of Chu (297 BC), King Huai of Chu absconded to return home. The state of Qin found that the road leading to Chu was blocked. King Huai of Chu was afraid, so he fled from the path to the state of Zhao to escape. At this time, King Wuling of Zhao had retired to Daidi, and his son, King Huiwen of Zhao, had just succeeded to the throne. He was afraid to accept King Huai of Chu. King Huai of Chu wanted to flee to the state of Wei, but the soldiers of the state of Qin arrived and had to go back to the state of Qin with the envoys of the state of Qin. Therefore, King Huai of Chu fell ill.

In the third year of King Qingxiang of Chu (296 BC), King Huai of Chu died in the state of Qin. King Zhao of Qin sent his coffin back to the state of Chu. The people of the state of Chu pitied King Huai of Chu and were as sad as the loss of their parents and brothers. Therefore, the princes of all countries thought that the state of Qin was inhumane. Qin and Chu severed diplomatic relations.

Make friends again

In the sixth year of King Qingxiang of Chu Dynasty (293 BC), Bai Qi, a general of King Zhao of Qin Dynasty, attacked Korea in yique and won a complete victory, killing 240000 Korean soldiers. King Zhao of Qin sent a letter to King Qingxiang of Chu, saying: "the state of Chu betrayed the state of Qin, and the state of Qin will lead the princes to attack the state of Chu. I hope you'll straighten up the army and we'll have a good fight. " King Qingxiang of Chu was worried about this, so he tried to make peace with Qin again.

In the seventh year of King Qingxiang of Chu (292 BC), King Qingxiang of Chu married a bride from the state of Qin, and the two countries reconciled.

In the 14th year of King Qingxiang of Chu (285 BC), King Qingxiang of Chu and King Zhao of Qin met in Wanyi to discuss peace and marriage.

In the 15th year of King Qingxiang of Chu (284 BC), King Qingxiang of Chu, Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan and other countries jointly attacked Qi and captured Huaibei.

In 283 BC, King Qingxiang of Chu and King Zhao of Qin met in Yanyi. In the autumn of the same year, King Qingxiang of Chu and King Zhaozhao of Qin met again in the town.

The plan was suspended

In the 18th year of King Qingxiang of Chu (281 BC), there was a man in the state of Chu who used to shoot geese returning to the north with a micro bow and string. After hearing this, King Qingxiang of Chu called to ask the man. The man replied, "I like shooting some geese and birds. This is to play the role of small bow and arrow, which is worth telling the king? Besides, according to the strength of the state of Chu, with the wisdom of the king, what he shot was far more than that. In the past, the three kings were honored by morality, and the five tyrants were supported by the princes of all countries. So Qin, Wei, Yan, Zhao and other countries are like little geese; Qi, Lu, Han, Wei and other countries are like little wild ducks; Fu, Fei, Tan, PI and other countries are like birds. Besides, the rest is not worth shooting. At present, there are six pairs of birds. How can the king shoot them? Why don't the king use the sage as the bow and the warrior as the arrow to shoot at the right time? These six pairs of birds can be shot down and put back in bags. This kind of happiness is not only the joy of one day and one night, but also the harvest is not just the small things such as geese. In the morning, he was forced to shoot at the eastern part of the kingdom of Wei without breaking his right arm. Moreover, if the state of Wei loses its two arms, it will overturn; if it attacks the state of tan from the front, it will seize the occupation of Daliang. So the king put away his bow and arrow in Lantai, drank the West River of horse, and settled the state of Wei. This was the joy of shooting the first arrow. If the king is really interested in archery and is not tired of it, he should take out his bow, fasten a good arrow with stones and new ropes, go to the East China Sea to shoot the big bird with a beak, and trim the Great Wall as a defense line. If you shoot Dongju in the morning, Wuqiu in the evening, Jimo in the night, and turn around to occupy Wudao, you can reach the east of the great wall and the north of Mount Tai. Connecting Zhao to the West and Yan to the north, Chu, Zhao and Yan were like birds with open wings, and the situation of vertical cooperation was naturally formed without alliance. To the north, the king can visit Liaodong of Yan state, and to the south, he can climb mountains and overlook Kuaiji of Yue State. This is the joy of shooting the second arrow.

As for the twelve vassal states along the coast of Surabaya, the left hand pulling and the right hand beating can occupy them all in one morning. Now the defeat of South Korea by the state of Qin has become a long-term worry, occupying many cities but not daring to defend them; there is no progress in attacking the state of Wei, but suffering from attacking the state of Zhao, so the courage and strength of the two countries are almost exhausted, and the old lands of the state of Chu, Hanzhong, Xi and Li, can be recovered. Then the king took out his bow, put on his new arrow, set foot in the desert, and waited for the time when the state of Qin was tired. The vast areas of Shandong and Hanoi could be connected. Comfort the people, recuperate the soldiers, you can be king in the south. Therefore, Qin state is a big bird. It lives on the mainland with its back. It looks to the East, covers the southwest of Zhao state with its left hand, and covers Yanying of Chu state with its right arm. It faces Han and Wei directly and overlooks the Central Plains. It is in a convenient and favorable terrain. It soars for three thousand miles with its wings. It can be seen that the state of Qin can not be lured alone and shot at night. " The man wanted to inspire King Qingxiang of Chu with these words, so he answered King Qingxiang of Chu with these words. As expected, King Qingxiang of Chu came to discuss with him again, and the man said, "there is no greater resentment than our former king's deceiving and dying for Qin. Nowadays, an ordinary person has resentment and can even retaliate against the king of a big country, such as Bai Gongsheng and Wu Zixu. Now Chu is a native place
