Su and Qin were also people in the Warring States period. Guiguzi apprentice. It is said that there are as many as 500 high disciples of Guiguzi, including Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Yang, Li Si, Mao Sui, Xu Fu, Gan Mao, Sima Cuo, fan Ju, Cai Ze, Zou Ji, Li Shiqi, Kuai Tong, Huang Shi, Li Mu, Wei Liao, etc. Among them, Su Qin is one of the most famous disciples. He wears the seal of the six kingdoms and fights against Qin. When Su Qin was alive, the powerful state of Qin did not dare to underestimate the six states. After his death, his younger martial brother Zhang Yi stepped onto the stage of history, displayed his talent, disintegrated the six powers, and finally unified China.
Su Qin
After hard work, in order to realize the ideal, the six countries' cooperation was finally completed
Su Qin and Zhang Yi were both excellent disciples of GUI GuZi, a famous political strategist in the Warring States period. In fact, it's not for the interests of the country and the people, but for Su Qin and Zhang Yi to make contributions. These "talents" returning from their studies urgently need a platform. As long as you give him a platform, you can also join hands or join hands to see which monarch he serves.
Su Qin shares
After su Qin graduated from Guiguzi, he was not immediately employed by the king of any country. He was so poor that his sister-in-law didn't look up to him, let alone other people in the society. This is a huge blow to Su Qin. For literati, money is not the most important, status is not the most important, dignity is the most important. In order to obtain the dignity of a literati, Su Qin studied military books and tactics at home. In history, there is a story of "head hanging beam, cone piercing bone". Head hanging beam refers to Sun Jing, while cone piercing bone refers to Su Qin. After su Qin consciously completed his studies, he went to visit King Xian of Zhou first. Although the Zhou Dynasty was in decline, he was the leader of the world in name. However, both King Zhou Xian and his ministers knew Su Qin well and thought he was a braggart, so they did not trust him. With Su Qin's talent, if King Xian of Zhou used him, it might not be said that the Zhou Dynasty realized "resurgence". The Zhou Dynasty deserved to perish, and missed the chance for the talented people to shine.
Su Qin left the Zhou Dynasty and went to the state of Qin. If King Hui of Qin used Su Qin, there might be no theory of "he Zong Yi", only Lian Heng. If so, maybe Qin Shihuang would unify the six countries ahead of time, and there would be nothing wrong with Zhang Yi. Unfortunately, King Hui of Qin also missed the opportunity. At that time, the state of Qin had just executed Shang Yang, the reformist. Su Qin's ability was probably Shang Yang's second. How could King Hui of Qin employ him? Other conservative ministers would not agree. Su Qin was politely sent out of the country by King Hui of Qin, and his ambition was useless in the state of Qin.
Seven heroes in the Warring States Period
So Su Qin turned his eyes to the six states. As early as GUI GuZi, Su Qin had known the general trend of the world. Qin didn't use his Lianheng skill, so he turned to sell his hezong skill to the six countries, but the progress was not smooth. Zhao Cheng, the Prime Minister of Fengyang in the state of Zhao, did not like Su Qin. Although the state of Yan was located in a partial state, he did not immediately employ Su Qin. He stayed in the state of Yan for a year before he was able to meet Yan Wenhou. At this time, Su Qin seized the last opportunity to persuade him. Then, he took the state of Yan as the "hezong" base, and successively convinced Zhao, South Korea, Wei, Qi and Chu. The six monarchs all said that they would take the lead of Su and Qin, and let him wear the seal of the six countries, and become the commander of the treaty. Su Qin's wish for life has finally come true.
Secretly helping younger martial brother, Qin and the six countries "peaceful" get along with "inside"
In the 15 years since Su and Qin wore the seal of the six states and became the six states, there was no large-scale war between Qin and the six states. What's the reason? Is Su Qin's technique successful?
Su Qin and Zhang Yi
From the perspective of Su Qin's personal career, Su Qin achieved temporary success. After the success, Su Qin did two things. First, he returned to his hometown with honor. According to the annals of the states of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, "the six kings jointly granted Su Qin the title of" commander in chief of the treaty "and carried the seal of the six countries, gold medals and swords, and had jurisdiction over the subjects of the six countries. Even the king of Zhou was afraid of Su Qin, let alone his family and neighbors. They all knelt down to greet each other, which was quite imperial. Second, he sent the treaty to the state of Qin, which scared the king of Qin. It can be said that the state of Qin is really a little afraid, because the ideal of several generations of kings of Qin is to unify China. If the six countries are really united, the road of Qin's unification will be long and difficult.
The way out of the state of Qin is to destroy the unity of the vertical and the horizontal. At this time another protagonist appeared, he is Su Qin's younger martial brother Zhang Yi. Su Qin was the first to graduate from Guiguzi. In order to ease the relationship with Qin, he Zong had time to consolidate. Su Qin came up with a way to ask Zhang Yi out of the mountain to help him preside over the joint column. After Zhang Yi defected to him, he deliberately ignored him and angered Zhang Yi to defection to the state of Qin. As expected, Zhang Yi fell into the elder martial brother's plan and went to the state of Qin. Su Qin secretly supported him, so that he got the trust and reuse of the king of Qin. It was not until Zhang Yi became the guest Minister of the state of Qin that the person who supported him told Zhang Yi that Su Qin had done this for the sake of better development of his career. Zhang Yi was grateful for Su Qin's help in his career, and also admitted that Su Qin was more clever than him in his stratagem, so she promised that when Su Qin was in power, she would persuade the king of Qin not to attack Zhao, where Su Qin was. The reason why the state of Qin didn't dare to go beyond Hangu pass in the 15th year was that the six states were united and Zhang Yi was in the state of Qin to repay Su Qin's kindness.
He Zong collapses, and Su Qin's younger martial brother "Lian Heng" finally wins
Su Qin's syncretism lasted for 15 years, but it finally disintegrated from the inside. The state of Qin used the stratagem of Lian Heng and deception to send the envoy Xi Shou to disintegrate the state of Qi and Wei and induce them to attack the state of Zhao. The king of Zhao blamed Su Qin for his failure to serve as the Secretary General of the United Nations. So Su Qin was afraid and left Zhao for Yan. Although Zhao Guo was the leader of the six countries, it was su Qin who maintained the relationship. After su Qin left, the six countries' Alliance existed in name only.

Su Qin's private life in the state of Yan was not simple. He had an affair with the mother of the king of Yan Yi. Strangely, the king of Yan Yi didn't blame Su Qin, but treated him well. Su Qin was guilty and afraid of being killed, so he left the state of Yan and went to the state of Qi. After the period of "hot love", the ministers of the state of Qi were not pleased with Su Qin and assassinated him. After su Qin's death, the six states' cooperation failed completely. After su Qin's death, Zhang Yi broke up the six states in a big way. The six states had their own selfish intentions. After Qin's instigation, coercion and inducement, the contradictions became public. So the state of Qin broke down one by one, and Lianheng won the final victory.
Su Qin's syncretism is similar to that of the United Nations today. His role as secretary-general of the United Nations is actually limited. He is a maintenance Council. On the surface, it is very powerful, but in fact, there are many internal contradictions, so it can not form a strong fist. Under the unified command of Su and Qin, they would not take the initiative to attack and destroy the state of Qin. In the past 15 years, the six countries did not make use of this short period of peace to reform, develop and enhance their national strength. Instead, they "enjoyed" peace and thought that there was nothing wrong in the world. As soon as Su and Qin died, the danger of the six states came back. They had to wait for the powerful Qin state to attack and destroy themselves.
