Idiom story

This idiom originated from the exposition of Su Qin, a famous political strategist and Luoyang man in the Warring States period. Jizi, a native of Xuanli in Luoyang of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (today's Taipingzhuang area in the eastern suburb of Luoyang), was born in a farming family and had always been ambitious. He had learned how to maneuver with Guiguzi for many years. At that time, Su Qin and Qin Yang Jun of Zhao state conspired to launch the alliance of Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei and Qi States, forcing Qin state to abolish the emperor and retreat. After persuading the monarchs of Han, Yan and Wei, Su Qin came to the state of Qi to lobby King Xuan of Qi. How did Su Qin persuade King Xuan of Qi? He boasted about the state of Qi, saying: "there are Mount Tai in the south, Langxie in the East, Qinghe in the West and Bohai in the north. This is the so-called state of four fortresses. Over two thousand li of Qi, with hundreds of thousands of carapace, millet like hills. The good of the three armies, the good of the five families, advance like a sharp arrow, fight like thunder, and solve like wind and rain. Even if there is military service, there is no Beitai mountain, there is no Qinghe River, and there is no Bohai. " In Su Qin's view, the state of Qi is not only advantageous in location, but also harmonious in people. "There are 70000 families in Linzi, the capital of the state of Qi. There are no less than three men, 37210000, waiting to be sent to Yuanxian county. The death of Linzi is already 210000!" Qi was still very rich and powerful. On the road to Linzi, the car hubs were hitting each other, the shoulders were rubbing each other, the lapels were hanging, the sleeves were raised, the sweat was pouring, the family was rich and the people were full, and the ambition was high. Su Qin said, "I feel sorry for you, king, because of your wisdom and the power of Qi, and now you have to be subordinate to Qin." What are the advantages of Qi? The state of Qi is far away from the state of Qin. You see, Han and Wei are so afraid of Qin because they border on Qin. Once there's a war, it's life and death. Even if Han and Wei win the war with Qin, their forces will suffer great losses, even if they win, they will still die. As for the war, if they lose, they will lose their country. Therefore, Han and Wei will certainly fight to death when they meet the strong Qin. The state of Qi is different. If the state of Qin wants to attack the state of Qi, it has to pass by Han and Wei and March for thousands of miles. It's not sure how risky it is. So the state of Qin is now "hypocritical, arrogant and dare not enter", the state of Qin can not threaten the state of Qi, this situation is more obvious! now, the state of Qin has nothing to do with the state of Qi, and the state of Qi has to rush to serve it. It's all because your ministers didn't give you a good plan. Su Qin's words made king Xuan of Qi very excited, and immediately said, "thanks to your teaching today, I will follow you with my country!" Su Qin's trip to the six countries contributed to the unity of the six countries.
