As we all know, the "Jinyang Battle" was a famous battle in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was recorded in ancient documents such as the Warring States Policy and Historical Records. So why did the "Jinyang War" break out? What was the result?
According to records, the apparent reason for the outbreak of this war is that Zhi Bo claimed land unreasonably, and both Han and Wei were afraid of the strength of the Zhi Bo family and gave it to Zhi Bo as a "city of ten thousand families". After winning two "Wanjiacheng", Zhi Bo once again asked Zhao for Cai and Gao Lang, but refused to give them, so Zhi Bo joined forces with Han and Wei to attack Zhao, and the "Jinyang War" was imminent.
By consulting historical materials, the author believes that the outbreak of the "Jinyang War" is not only a superficial reason, but also the following three reasons are hidden behind it. The struggle between Zhao and Zhao is inevitable;
After a series of economic reforms, Zhao's strength is growing, straight and green, and he always regards it as a threat and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. The contradiction between the two families has a long history. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhishi wrote to demand that Zhao, BOC and Fan be caught in the net. Yu Xun said to the marquis of Jin, "Your Majesty, minister, the culprit is dead and took the book to the river. Today, the three ministers made a disaster, but the punishment is no longer embarrassing. Please go one by one. " -"Zuo Zhuan Ding Gong Thirteen Years"
1. Han and Zhao jointly pleaded with 8 jin j, but failed. Later, when Zhao was in danger, Zhishi forced Dong Anyu, Zhao's counselor, to kill him and took the opportunity to weaken Zhao's family power. After the Zhi family became the leader of all the ministers, all the political affairs of the State of Jin were decided by Zhi Bo. Zhibo intended to replace Jin, and listed Korea, Zhao and Wei as the key targets, with Zhao, the strongest of the three, bearing the brunt.
2. The development direction and strategic goals of Zhao and Zhi conflict with each other; Zhao's strategy is to push north and explore the land of Dijon. Zhao Xiangzi sent troops to attack and bring it into the territory of Zhao, with the intention of annexing Zhongshan State. However, Zhishi also has the intention of going north, and he is also drooling over Zhongshan. Under such a competitive relationship, the contradiction between Zhishi and Zhao is more prominent.
3. Zhi Bo advocates land with the intention of provoking a war, which is intentional; Zhi Bo's claim to each land is carried out step by step, from weak to strong. If the land claim is successful, the territory can be successfully expanded. If one family doesn't give it, the other two will take the opportunity to attack one. This is a foolproof move. Both the Han and Wei Dynasties made concessions to Shi Zhi, and Shi Zhi was more emboldened to attack Zhao Shi. Therefore, when you give Zhao an important position, you should name Cai He Gao Lang. The geographical location of the two places is special, both on the west side of Jinyang, which can block Zhao Beijin's strategic goal. Gaolang is also the first place sealed by the Zhou royal family to Zhao's ancestors, which is the root of Zhao, which is of great significance to Zhao's family. Zhi Bo chose these two cities because he expected that Scott wouldn't give them to him, so he had every reason to unite Korea and Wei to wipe out Scott completely.
From the above reasons, we can know that Zhishi didn't just make unreasonable demands, but deliberately did it after Zhishi became strong. As the situation became more and more favorable to him, he tried to take this opportunity to destroy Zhao. After the strongest opponent is solved, it will be easy to destroy Han and Wei.
