After the death of King Hui of Qin, Qin Wuwang acceded to the throne. At that time, Yi Cheung and Andy had left the State of Qin and ran to the State of Wei in the East. Soon, the son of Qin Dynasty, Hou Yi, rebelled with his assistant, Chen Zhuang, and appointed Gan Mao to pacify Shu. After returning to the State of Qin, Qin Wuwang appointed Gan Mao as the left prime minister and Gui Lizi as the right prime minister.
In the third year of Xirang (308 BC), he swore to Qin Wuwang. Qin Wuwang said to Gan Mao, "I have a wish, that is, to take a car with a curtain and cross Sanchuan to see the capital of Zhou Dynasty, even if I die." Gan Mao got the message and said, "Please allow me to go to Wei to meet Wei's attack on South Korea, and please ask Xiang Shou to help me go with me." Qin Wuwang agreed to Gan Mao's request. When he arrived in Wei, he said to Xiang Shou, "Go back and report the situation of this mission and say,' Wei has followed my advice, but I hope your majesty will not attack South Korea'. The success of this matter is all due to you. "
Xiang Shou returned to Qin and told Qin Wuwang what Gan Mao said, while Qin Wuwang went to other places to meet Gan Mao. When Gan Mao arrived in Xirang, Qin Wuwang asked him why he didn't attack South Korea first.
Gan Mao replied: "Yiyang is a big county. Shangdang and Nanyang have not accumulated wealth and taxes for a long time. It is called a county, but it is actually a county. Now the king has left several dangerous passes on which he relied and traveled thousands of miles to attack them. It's hard to win. Once upon a time, Zeng Shen lived in Fei Yi. In Lu, a man with the same surname as Zeng Shen killed someone. Someone told Zeng Shen's mother that' Zeng Shen killed someone', and his mother was weaving, with a calm face. After a while, a man came to tell his mother that he had killed someone, and his mother still felt the same way about Vega. After a while, another man told his mother that he had killed someone. His mother dropped the shuttle, got off the loom and ran over the wall. With Zeng Shen's virtue and his mother's trust in him, three people suspected him and made his mother really afraid that he had killed someone. Now my talent is not as good as Zeng Shen's, and your king's trust in me is not as good as Zeng Shen's mother. But it's not just three people who doubt me. I'm afraid your king will doubt me as much as his mother. At the beginning, Zhang Yixi annexed Bashu in the west, expanded beyond Xihe in the north, and took Shang Yong in the south. Instead of praising Zhang Yi for this, the whole world thinks that Wang is virtuous. Wei Wenhou asked Yang Le to attack Zhongshan, and it took three years to capture Zhongshan. He said that he would see Wei later, receive a reward, and show him a box of letters. I was so scared that Yang Le bowed twice and said,' This is not my credit, it depends on the strength of the Lord.' Now I am a courtier who lives here. Gui Li and Gong Sun will argue with me about the gains and losses of attacking Korea on the grounds that South Korea is powerful. The king will certainly listen to their opinions, which will lead the king to deceive Wang Wei, and I will be resented by the Korean Prime Minister. "
Qin Wuwang said, "I don't listen to them. Please let me swear with you. " Finally, let Gan Mao send troops to attack Yiyang. After playing for five months, Yiyang was not available, and Guifeizi and Gongsun really raised objections. King Wu recalled Gan Mao to China, intending to withdraw his troops. Gan Mao said: "The rest of the soil is there, don't forget." King Wu said, "There is an oath." So he mobilized all his troops, let Gan Mao attack Yiyang, beheaded sixty thousand people, and finally won Yiyang. Han Xiangwang sent an official to the State of Qin to apologize and make peace with the State of Qin.
Qin Wuwang finally passed the land of Sanchuan to Zhoudu, and went straight to Zhouzu Temple to view Jiuding. Later, Qin Wuwang and Meng Ben fought for the tripod and died. Qin Wuwang's younger brother acceded to the throne, namely Qin Zhaowang. Qin Zhaowang's mother Xuan Empress is a Chu woman. When Qin defeated Chu in Danyang, he was very dissatisfied with South Korea's inaction, so he led troops to besiege the Yong family in South Korea. In an emergency, the King of Korea sent Gong Zhong to the State of Qin for help. Just acceded to the throne at that time, queen Xuan was a native of Chu and refused to send troops to rescue her. On behalf of South Korea, Gong said, "Gong dared to resist Chu because he hoped Qin could save him. At this time, Yong's family was besieged and refused to go to Yaoshan for rescue. Will despise Qin for not coming to appear before the court with his head held high. Uncle Han will also let South Korea unite with Chu. Once Chu and Han United into a force, Wei would not dare not listen. Thus, the situation of attacking Qin was formed. Do you think it is better to wait for others to attack than to attack others actively? " Zhao Haoqi of Qin said, "Good." So he sent troops to Yaoshan to save South Korea. The Chu army immediately retreated.
The power struggle of Qin allowed Xiang Shou to pacify Yiyang, and at the same time sent Zi Lizi and Pi's family who attacked Wei. Xiang Shou, the maiden relative of Empress Xuan, had a close relationship with King Zhao of Qin since childhood, so she was appointed by King Zhao of Qin. When Xiang Shou first arrived in Chu, Chu Huaiwang heard that Zhao Haoqi of Qin respected Xiang Shou very much, so he was very polite to him.
Xiang Shou was stationed in Yiyang for Qin, and prepared to attack South Korea accordingly. Su Dai, a North Korean official, told Xiang Shou, "When a wild animal is besieged, it will knock down the hunter's car. Although your invasion of South Korea humiliated Yi, Yi can clean up the situation in South Korea before serving Qin, and he will think that he will definitely get the title of Qin. Now you give the confession to Chu and Du Yang to Xiao Lingyin, so that Qin and Chu can make friends. Qin Chu United is nothing more than attacking South Korea again, and South Korea is bound to perish. North Korea will perish, and Gong Zhong will personally lead his private slaves to stubbornly resist Qin. I want you to think it over. "
Xiang Shou said, "I am not uniting Qin and Chu against South Korea. Please declare this matter to me, and say that the relationship between Qin and South Korea can be cooperative. "
Su Dai replied, "I want to say a word to you. People say that only by respecting what others respect can we win others' respect for ourselves. The king of Qin is closer to you than to Sun. The King of Qin appreciates your wisdom and talent, so it is better to appreciate Gan Mao. But now these two people can't directly participate in the important events of Qin, and you can only make decisions on the important events of Qin with the king of Qin. What is the reason? Yes, they each have their own dishonesty. Sun favored South Korea and Wei, so the king of Qin didn't trust them. Now Qin is competing with Chu, but you are partial to Chu, which is the same as Sun and Zhu. What is the difference between you and them? People say that Chu is a country that is flexible, and you will stumble when you make friends with Chu. This is asking for trouble. You might as well plan a contingency plan against Chu with the king of Qin, be friendly with South Korea and guard against Chu, so you won't have worries. South Korea and Qin must first hand over state affairs to Sun, listen to his handling opinions, and then entrust the country to. North Korea is your enemy. Now you propose to be friendly with South Korea and guard against Chu. This is a diplomatic alliance and does not avoid the enemy. " Xiang Shou said, "Well, I really want to cooperate with South Korea. "
Su Dai replied: "Gan Mao promised Gong Zhong to return Wu Sui to South Korea and let Yiyang people return to Yiyang. Now it's hard for you to take back Wu Sui. " Xiang Shou said, "In that case, what should we do? Wu Sui won't get it after all? "
Su Dai replied, "Why didn't you rely on the prestige of Qin State to take Yingchuan back from Chu State for South Korea? Yingchuan is the resting place of Korea. If you ask for and get it, it means that your decree will be implemented in Chu, and South Korea will thank you for taking the territory of Chu. If you want something, you can't. If you hate Han Chu, you will please Qin. Qin Chu and China are both competitive. You blame Chu bit by bit for bringing Korea closer to you, which is of great benefit to Qin. " Upon hearing this, Xiang Shou weighed the pros and cons. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment and blurted out, "What should I do?"
Su Dai immediately replied, "This is a good thing. Want to attack Qi with Wei's strength, Sun wants to attack Qi with South Korea's strength. Now you take Yiyang as the credit, gain the trust of Chu and Han, settle them down, and then punish the sins of Qi and Wei. Therefore, Gongsun Sheng and Gan Mao's plans will all go up in smoke, and their power in Qin will be further weakened. "
Gan Mao finally suggested to Zhao Haoqi of Qin that Wu Sui should be returned to South Korea. Xiang Shou and Gong Sun strongly opposed this, but both failed. Xiang Shou and Gong Sun were very dissatisfied with this and often spoke ill of Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin. Gan Mao was afraid of something, so he stopped attacking Pu Songling of Wei and ran away. Gui pear reconciled with Wei and withdrew.
Gan Mao abandoned Qin, fled from Qin to Qi, and met him on the way. At that time, the Soviet Union was sending a special envoy to Qin for Qi. Gan Mao said, "I was convicted in the state of Qin and fled for fear of disaster. Now I have no place to live. I heard that a poor girl and a rich girl are rubbing twine together. The poor girl said,' I didn't have the money to buy candles, but fortunately your candlelight stayed. Please give me some residual light, which won't damage your lighting, but it will make me enjoy the convenience of candlelight like you.' Now I am in an awkward position. You are in the state of Qin, and you are in power. His wife and children are still in Qin. I hope you can spare some time to help them. "
Su Dai agreed, so he went to the State of Qin. After completing this task, he took the opportunity to persuade Qin Guo to say, "He is a rare scholar. He lived in the state of Qin for many years and was valued for three generations in a row. He knows the terrain like the back of his hand, from food jams to ghost valleys. If he relies on Qi to form an alliance with Korea and Wei, it will be bad for Qin in turn. "
Qin Zhaowang said, "What should we do in this case?" Su Dai said, "Your Majesty might as well give him a more expensive gift and a better salary, and welcome him back. If he comes back, he will be locked in the ghost valley and will not be allowed to come out for life. " The king of Qin said, "Good." Immediately, Gan Mao was appointed Shangqing, and sent someone to Qi to meet Xiangyin. Gan Mao insisted on not returning to Qin. Su Dai said to the King of Qi, "This Gan Mao is a saint. Now Qin has given Shang Qing an official position and given him a photo. Because Gan Mao appreciated the king's gift and liked to be his servant, he declined the invitation and didn't go to Qin. Now, your majesty, what will you do with him? " King Qi said, "Good." Immediately put him in the position of Shangqing and leave him in Qi. Qin also quickly exempted the family from taxes, in order to compete with Qi.
After his death, the State of Qi sent him to the State of Chu and just married the State of Qin, who had a good relationship with her. When Zhao Haoqi of Qin heard that Gan Mao was in Chu, he sent someone to Chu Huaiwang: "I hope to send Gan Mao to Qin." Asked fan, "I want to arrange a prime minister in Qin. Who do you think is suitable? " Fan replied, "I'm not competent enough to see who is suitable." Chu Huaiwang said: "Is it appropriate for me to let Gan Mao be the prime minister?" Fan replied: "Not appropriate. Shi Ju, the door god, is not for the monarch in major events, nor for the family in minor ones. He is famous for his poor personality and low moral integrity, but Gan Mao served him very humbly. Therefore, with Qin's wisdom, sensitivity and eloquence, it is difficult for ordinary literati to serve them one by one and get ten official positions without guilt. Gan Mao is indeed a talented person, but he can't be the prime minister of Qin. Qin has a virtuous prime minister, which is not good for Chu. Moreover, the king had previously recommended Zhao to sneak to work in the country, and he secretly encouraged Zhang Yi to attack, causing chaos in the country. Therefore, the State of Chu was able to expand its territory, with Li Men as its frontier and Jiangdong as its county. I think about the achievements of the king, so I can reach such a brilliant level. The reason is that the state of Yue was chaotic and the State of Chu ruled. Now the king only knows how to use this strategy in Yue, but forgets to use it in Qin. I think it's a big mistake for you to send Gan Mao to Qin as prime minister. On the other hand, if you plan to place the Prime Minister in the State of Qin, it is better to place people like Xiang Shou. Xiang Shou is a relative of the King of Qin. When I was a teenager, I wore the same clothes as the king of Qin. When I grew up, I rode the same car and could directly participate in state affairs. The king must arrange Xiang Shou to be the prime minister of Qin, which is good for Chu. " So Chu Huaiwang sent messengers to ask the king of Qin to let Xiang Shou stay in Qin. The State of Qin finally established the project as Prime Minister. Gan Mao finally failed to go to the State of Qin, and later died in the State of Wei.
Historical evaluation of Su Dai: "Gan Mao is an extraordinary scholar. It lives in Qin, and it has a heavy past. From food jams to ghost valleys, terrain risks are well known. "
Fan: "Fu Shiju, under the supervision of Cai, is not for the monarch, but for his family. He is famous for being cheap and not cheap, and Gan Mao did a good job. Therefore, Wang Hui's fame, Wang Wuzhi's search name, Yi Yi's defense name, and Gan Mao's affair were all acquitted. Mao Chengxian is also a sage, but he can't be in Qin. "
Sima Qian: "In Qin Dynasty, Li attached importance to his own flesh and blood and consolidated his own principles. Qin people called him a wise man, so he was quite talented. From Cai's rise, he became a famous vassal with equal strength. When Gan Luo was young, he came up with a strange trick, calling himself a descendant. Although he was not a filial gentleman, he was also a counselor in the Warring States period. When Qin Fang is strong, the world is particularly eager to deceive. " "Qin was so busy with Dongwu princes that it was a trick to bury Li."
Sima Zhen: "Gan Mao was originally merged with Andy. At first, I pushed longevity, but I attacked Yiyang. "
307 years ago, under the influence of characters, he died unexpectedly, and the political situation of Qin State changed greatly. Gan Mao, who was in power, was pushed down by illness. In the second year, he led an army to attack Wei Pi's house and fled. Gan Mao is the most important person in Qin State after Zhang Yi, and his escape has aroused strong repercussions in various countries. In addition, due to the instability of Qin's political power in the early years, Qin was temporarily on the defensive in foreign competitions, so many countries had the intention of interfering in Qin's internal affairs, among which Chu's intention was the strongest. Chu Ce I and Chu Ce II respectively recorded Chu Huaiwang's behavior of showing kindness to Qin and Wei Gan Mao.
Children and grandchildren do it.
