Last time we talked about Jin Wengong 's dominance. This time we will learn about the story of another big country - Qin's struggle for hegemony.
After Duke Mu of Qin came to power, he appointed Uncle Jian as the chief of the right concubine, and Baili Xi as the chief of the left concubine, known as the "two prime ministers". As well as their two sons, they were named generals together with Xiqishu and were called the "Three Generals of Qin". At this time, Duke Mu of Qin supported Yi Wu, mentioned above, to ascend the throne, but Yi Wu did not act in an honest manner. 1. He promised to give Qin five cities if he came to power, but he didn’t. 2. There was a drought in Jin State , and Qin State provided food to Jin. When there was a famine in Qin, Jin refused to provide food and took the opportunity to send troops to attack. Duke Mu of Qin did not tolerate him, so he directly sent troops to attack and captured Yiwu. Then he proposed an exchange to the Jin Kingdom, successfully took back five cities, and directly expanded the territory to the west of the Yellow River .
Since then, the Jin State has been at odds with the Qin State. Qin Mu Gong supported Chong'er, married his daughter, and supported him to return to the country and become the king. After that, the Jin State lived in harmony with the Qin State and had many marriages. They were called by later generations: the good relationship between Qin and Jin. But Duke Mu of Qin has always been worried about the state of Jin, because the state of Jin developed rapidly in the hands of Duke Wen of Jin and became the overlord of the east.
After that, Duke Wen of Jin and several important ministers passed away, which gave Qin an opportunity. Duke Mu of Qin sent three generals of the state of Qin to attack the younger brother of the state of Jin - the state of Zheng . Uncle Jian dissuaded him: "The journey is too far and the troops are exhausted, so there is no way to attack secretly." Duke Mu of Qin refused to listen and insisted on attacking. The army of Qin State had just entered Hua State and happened to meet the merchants of Zheng State. When the merchants saw the army approaching, they thought that the country of Zheng was about to suffer a great disaster. He pretended that Zheng Guo had known for a long time that Qin was going to attack and sent envoys specially to reward the army. The army was seen through by the Zheng people, The Qin army had no choice but to destroy the country and return. Jin Xianggong In order to curb the Qin people's eastward advance, he ambushed and completely annihilated the Qin army, captured three generals alive. Duke Xiang of Jin listened to 's mother's advice not to make the relationship too bad, so he let them go by mistake. One mistake led to eternal hatred. Later, after the rigorous training of the three generals, the Qin army succeeded in revenge, regained the lost territory and destroyed the prestige of the Jin state . But it is a big country after all. With the suppression of Jin, it is difficult for Qin to develop eastward.
So Qin Mugong developed westward and wiped out more than a dozen Rong people countries. became the overlord of the Xirong region. Therefore, Qin Mugong became another overlord after Jin Wengong.
