Since Meng Changjun was removed, Qi Min and Chu Weiwang destroyed the Song State and became more arrogant. He was bent on annexing the nations and came to heaven himself. Gal, governors of all countries are not satisfied with him; Yan, especially the northern part of Qi, was bullied by Qi and wanted revenge.

Yan is a big country. Later, it spread to kuài, and after listening to the bad guys' ideas, he actually learned the legendary method of Yao Shun's abdication and gave the throne to Xiangguozi. General Yan and Prince Ping attacked the son, and the state of Yan was in chaos. In the name of pacifying the civil strife in Yan State, Qi State entered Yan State, and Yan State almost perished. Later, the soldiers and civilians of Yan made the prince the monarch, rose up and drove the army of Qi out.

Prince Ping acceded to the throne, that is. He made up his mind to make Yan strong. He made up his mind to find talents to govern the country, but he didn't find the right person. He was reminded that Guo Kun, an old minister, was quite knowledgeable, so it was better to ask him.

Yan Zhaowang personally went to see Guo Kun and said to him, "I will never forget the humiliation of Qi invading us during the civil strife in our country. But now Yan's national strength is weak, and it is not yet possible to avenge it. If a wise man comes to avenge me, I would rather wait on him. Can you recommend such talents? "

Guo Kun touched his beard and said thoughtfully, "I don't know whether to recommend ready-made talents." Please allow me to tell a story first. " Then, he told a story:

In ancient times, there was a monarch who liked swift horses. He sent people everywhere to look for it, but he couldn't find it for three years. A courtier found a precious swift horse somewhere far away and told the monarch that he could buy it back by giving him 1200 gold. The monarch was very happy and sent his courtiers to buy it with 1200 gold. Unexpectedly, when the courtiers arrived, Maxima had died of illness. The courtiers thought it was not good to go back empty-handed, so they took out half the gold they brought and bought the horse bones back.

The courtiers presented the horse bones to the monarch, who was furious and said, "I want you to buy a live horse." Who asked you to spend money to buy back the useless horse bones? " The courtier said unhurriedly, "People have heard that you are willing to spend money to buy a dead horse, and you are afraid that no one will send a live horse?"

You presided over the skepticism and no longer blamed the courtiers. As soon as the news spread, everyone thought that the monarch really loved swift horses. Within a year, several swift horses were sent from all directions.

After telling this story, Guo Kun said, "Your Majesty must be thirsty for talents. It is better to try me as a horse bone."

Yan Zhaowang was greatly encouraged. After he came back, he immediately sent someone to build a very exquisite house for Guo Kun to live in and worshipped Guo Kun as his teacher. When the world's talents heard that they were sincerely recruiting talents, they ran to Yan to inquire. One of the most famous is Zhao. Yan Zhaowang worshipped Le Yi as Yaqing and asked him to rectify national politics and train the army. Yan is really getting stronger every day.

At this time, Yan Zhaowang saw his arrogance and unpopularity, and said to him, "Now the King of Qi has no choice, and it is time for us to avenge ourselves. I plan to mobilize the people of the whole country against Qi. What do you think? "

Le Yi said: "Qi has a vast territory and a large population. I'm afraid we can't fight alone. If the king wants to attack Qi, he must unite with other countries. "

Yan Zhaowang sent Zhao to contact King Zhao Huiwen, sent someone to contact Han and Wei, and asked Zhao to contact Qin. These countries do not like the hegemony of Qi, but are willing to send troops with Yan.

In 284 BC, he became a general, commanding the armies of five countries and defeating Qi.

When King Qi Min heard that the five-nation allied forces were calling, he also panicked. He gathered all the military forces in the country to resist the allied forces and fought a battle west of Jishui. Because Le Yi was good at commanding, the morale of the five horses was high, and the Qi army was defeated. King Ji Min fled back to Linzi.

Soldiers from Zhao, Han, Qin and Wei won the battle and occupied several cities in Qi, so they didn't want to fight any more. Only Le Yi refused to give up. He personally led the army of the Yan State, and marched into the country, laying a solid foundation for the capital of Qi State. King Qi Min had to escape and was finally killed in Cheng Ju.

He thought that he had made great contributions and personally went to the water's edge to enjoy the merits, and was named King Chang.
