Qiweiwang, surnamed Tian, first name Yinqi, son of Tianwu Huangong Tianwu, the fourth monarch of Qi during the Warring States Period, succeeded to the throne in 356 BC and reigned for 36 years. King Qi Wei is a politician who is talented and broad-minded, imaginative, good-natured, and knowledgeable. He belongs to the ranks of Mingjun and the protagonist of "a blockbuster" and other allusions. He has his own unique vision in selecting and appointing talents. He used Zou Ji as the prime minister, Tian Ji as the general, and Sun Bin as the military commander. He carried out political reforms, clarified the legal system, selected talents, and distinguished rewards and punishments.
Zou Ji, in "Zou Ji's Satire of Qi King Admonishment", it can be seen that King Qi Wei has a good mind. He is a person who can listen to the advice of his courtiers and is the first to form in all countries. The imperial court's righteousness of admonition and acceptance. Sun Bin, King Qi Wei respected him very much, often discussed military theory with him, and asked him humbly about strategy and tactics. In the famous "The Art of War by Sun Bin", there are many questions and answers between King Qi Wei and Sun Bin, such as: "I am strong and weak, and I have few enemies. How can I use it?" It is a great drama, such as the well-known classic idiom stories "Tian Ji Horse Racing" and "Weiwei Rescue Zhao" are masterpieces between monarchs and ministers. King Qi Wei looked at people with a simple and practical method.
Qin Jun borrowed from Han and Wei to attack Qi. King Qi Wei sent General Kuang Zhang to lead his troops to fight, and the two armies staggered to camp. Before the war, envoys from both sides came and went. Kuang Zhang took the opportunity to change some of the Qi army's clothing and military emblems, and mixed them into the Qin army to wait for Qi's main offensive force to break the enemy. The officials sent by King Qi Wei to the front line deliberately distorted Kuang Zhang's intentions and reported to King Wei: "Kuang Zhang may bring troops to Qin." King Qi Wei ignored them. Soon after, someone from the front line reported to King Qi Wei: "Kuang Zhang is very likely to fall to Qin." King Qi Wei still ignored it. So again and again. Seeing this scene, the court officials asked King Qi Wei: "The loser of Yanzhangzi is the same as the other people. Why doesn't the king send troops to attack?" King Qi Wei said with confidence: "This is not to betray the widow. To hit it!" Sure enough, after a short while, the victory of Qi Jun's victory came from the front. Left and right were surprised and asked why King Qi Wei had such a foresight. King Qi Wei told them that he could infer from Kuang Zhang's daily performance that he was loyal to Qi.
It turned out that when Kuang Zhang’s mother was alive, she offended Kuang Zhang’s father and was killed by his father and buried under the horse station. When King Qi Wei Ren Kuangzhang was a general, his father was dead. King Qi Wei gave him permission to rebury his mother after winning the battle, but Kuang Zhang declined it on the grounds that his father had not given this order. He said: "If you can't teach your father to bury your mother, you are deceiving your father." So he refused to follow orders. This enabled King Qi Wei to have a deeper understanding of Kuang Zhang’s behavior, and he firmly believed that he "be the son of man and not deceive his father, how can he be the minister and the king?" Only when there is "filial piety", there is "loyalty". King Qi Wei grasped this point. Therefore, even though the frontline sent intelligence three times that Kuang Zhang might descend to Qin, King Qi Wei did not believe it. He insisted on letting Kuang Zhang command the battle and finally guaranteed the victory of this anti-Qin struggle.
Kuang Zhang learned of this after returning to the court, was very touched, and determined to swear allegiance to King Qi Wei. Kuang Zhang, Chen surname, Tian Shi, Ming Zhang, a famous general in the Warring States Period, known as Zhang Zi or Kuang Zi. Beginning in Wei, a student of Mencius. In the last years of King Qi Wei, he became a general of the Qi army and led his army to repel the Qin attack. By the time of King Qi Xuan, in 314 BC, taking advantage of the Yan Guozi's civil strife, he led one hundred thousand soldiers and broke through Yandu. In 301 BC, he joined South Korea and the State of Wei to attack the State of Chu, defeated the Chu army in Chuisha, and killed the Chu general Tang Mei. In 298 BC, the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and Han broke through the Hangu Pass of Qin State, forcing Qin State to seek peace. It is called "Battle of Chuisha" and "Pohangu Pass" in history. Throughout his life, Kuang Zhang has repeatedly made military exploits for Qi. (Text/Cai Si image/Internet) (If there is any infringement of the text/image, thank you for contacting to delete it)
