Qin Mugong is a very talented and stubborn person in history. He is brave and good at fighting, respects the virtuous and the wise and the brave to admit his mistakes. Today we will talk about the counter-espionage plan he used to defeat the Xirong Kingdom.
Xirong Kingdom is located in today's Longdong and Longxi. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the country's troops were also very powerful. After Qin State lost the Battle of Wushan, Qin Mu Duke realized that in order to fight for hegemony of the Central Plains, he needed a stable and powerful rear. Therefore, he looked at the Xirong Kingdom, which often harassed the Qin border, and wanted to conquer it.
Just at this time, the Western Rong State also had ideas about Qin State and wanted to see if Qin State was a paper tiger, so he assigned a minister named and Yu to come to Qin State to inquire about the truth. After Yu Yu came to Qin, Duke Mu of Qin first showed off the palaces and the gathered property of Qin, and then talked to Yu Yu about governing the country. After the conversation, Duke Mu of Qin felt that this person was very talented. He believed that the Western Rong State had such an outstanding talent, which was a threat from Qin, so he asked him what to do.
The subordinates gave him an idea. First, I gave some beauties to the King of Xirong, so that he could indulge in beauty, and second, I used counter-espionage to make conflicts between Yu Yu and Xirong. How to do it specifically? Duke Mu of Qin first tried to make Youyu stay in Qin for a while. During this period, he often chatted with Youyu. Of course, the King of Xirong must have known such frequent chats. After Youyu returned, he saw that the King of Xirong was addicted to beauty, so he advised him. However, the King of Xirong kept and suspected Yuyu. Yuyu was indifferent to the atmosphere, so he defected to Qin. Finally, with Youyu's help, Xirong was also destroyed, and Qin had a stable rear at this time.
