Chu, Qi, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei each have their own advantages, but they were defeated by Qin one by one. Why were they defeated so miserably? Is there no good ministers and generals in these six countries? It seems that there may not be none. So what causes the failure?
Chu State is a relatively powerful kingdom compared to the other five countries, but Chu Huai King greed for the six hundred miles of land in neighboring countries and became fooled by Zhang Yi. As a result, he lost a large amount of troops and lost the capital. He was captured by Qin and was humiliated and died.
Qi is also a kingdom that is similar to Chu. After King Min of Qi ascended the throne, he has become increasingly ambitious since he destroyed Song . He also wants to invade Chu in the south and occupy Han, Zhao and Wei in the west. He was defeated by Yan and fell into Qin's layout and became a prisoner of Qin.
Yan State is a small country, but it is not easy to survive among strong countries. Qi State always wanted to annex Yan State, but as a result, the two countries were constantly wars, and no one took advantage of it after fighting. The two fought each other and the fisherman benefited, and the Qin State was naturally the one who benefited.
South Korea is not to mention it. It was originally a small country, swaying around neighboring countries, with a flickering attitude and a very unstable position. If there is any interest, it will be smooth sailing. How can such a small country establish its own powerful regime, and how can it not be destroyed by the powerful Qin State?
Zhao Guo should be a country with military strength, and there are many capable ministers and generals in the country. However, in order to take South Korea's Shangdang County as its own, it launched a fierce battle with the Qin army. As a result, 400,000 troops were captured and buried alive by Qin, and were eventually destroyed by Qin.
The last one is Wei , which should be a very powerful country, but he was not at ease. Wei Huiwang attacked Han and Zhao several times, but was defeated by the Qi army who aided Zhao, and was later attacked by the Qin army. Although he moved the capital to avoid chaos, he still could not escape the end of being destroyed by Qin.
Looking at the process of Qin unifying the six countries, it is all caused by greed. If the six countries can live in peace, share weal and woe, and do not attack and suspicion from each other, the Qin State will have no chance, and then there will be no Qin State to unify the six countries.
