What happened to Tian Ji in "Tian Ji Horse Racing"?

During the Warring States Period, in Qi State, in addition to Tian Dan who recovered his homeland, there was also a senior general named Tian Ji. Tian Ji's name has always appeared with Sun Bin. It can be said that they are very good friends and partners. Tian Ji's most brilliant allusion in this life is undoubtedly his horse race with King Qi Wei. Originally, Tian Ji’s horses at the upper, middle and lower levels were weaker than King Qi Wei, but Tian Ji followed the advice of his friend Sun Bin and changed the order of horses. As a result, he confirmed that sentence. The order of appearance is very important. . Tian Ji, who was bound to lose, defeated King Qi in a counterattack. And this horse race not only made Tian Ji famous, but even the nominal loser Qi Wang also gained a lot. For King Qi Wei, although he lost his daughter, he won a master of the art of war that is hard to find. This person is Sun Bin, who is well-known in military history.

Through this game, Tian Ji introduced Sun Bin to the monarch, and Qi Wei saw it After Sun Bin, he was especially valued, so Tian and Sun were entrusted with important tasks. Because of his physical disability, Sun Bin voluntarily retreated behind the scenes to serve as Tian Ji's adviser. Tian Ji's most important record in his life, and also the most brilliant record, was in the battle against Wei Guo. At that time, the Wei State was enjoying the dividends brought about by the reform, and it could be said to be a strong one for a while, and Qi State and Wei State had no direct war entanglement, but Zhao Zhuhan was aided out of the long-term national interests. In terms of Zhao Guo, it is sad enough. In less than a hundred years, Guodu has been besieged twice. Fortunately, there is no danger. After Handan was besieged, the State of Zhao asked Qi Chu for help. In the end, the State of Qi sent the famous general Tian Ji and his partner Sun Bin, such a luxurious lineup, to stop Wei's attack on Zhao Du.

And in this battle to save Zhao, the Qi army created a thousand years of reputation and was honored by later generations. The classic tactic of worship. The popularity of this tactic has exceeded the military field. Even people who don't know how to march and fight are very familiar with it. Almost no one does not know how to encircle Wei and save Zhao. And this time the Qi army won a complete victory, Tian Ji's reputation also increased, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction of another person, this person is the then Xiangguo Zou Ji. Zou Ji is a well-known figure in the political arena of Qi. Many people have read his articles to advise the king of Qi to accept advice, so his image has always been quite positive. However, in the face of Tian Ji, who has made great contributions, Zou Ji has become the number one villain. One of them is a general outside and the other is a relative at home. However, they did not stage a scene of harmony between the generals, just like Fan Juji and Zou Ji. Ji Tian Ji.

When I think that Tian Ji's merits are too high, it may threaten his status in Qi, the beautiful man with a righteous body becomes less upright. After successfully rescuing South Korea, Tian Ji was supposed to return to the court to discuss his merits and rewards, but Zou Ji instructed his subordinates to spread rumors and frame Tian Ji that he had two intentions because of his swelling of merit. King Qi Wei had already trusted Zou Ji, and Tian Ji had done too much. King Qi Wei was a little uneasy, so he took a more believable attitude, and as a result, Zou Ji's conspiracy succeeded. After Tian Ji heard about it outside, he knew it was difficult to argue, so he fled to Chu State in the south. Although Tian Ji left Qi, Zou Ji was still uneasy, afraid that he would find Zou Ji to settle accounts with the power of Chu. At this time, a lobbyist named Du He came on stage, threatening that he could help Zou Ji so that Tian Ji would never return to Qi.

So Zou Ji sent Duch to lobby the King of Chu, and this lobbyist was somewhat capable. He first stood from the standpoint of Chu State and pointed out that Zou Ji, the ruler of Qiangqi, was unfriendly to Chu State because of Tian Ji. He suggested that the King of Chu grant Tian Ji a fief in order to retain Tian Ji. And Tian Ji's refusal to return to Qi State is equivalent to Chu State selling favor to Zou Ji. In this way, Qi's two taboos will all be grateful to Chu, so that Chu can kill two birds with one stone. Du He’s very clever trick made King Chu feel that he was helping Chu State with an idea, and he completed it.Zou Ji's task, while not guilty of Tian Ji, can be said to please three people at one stroke. And Tian Ji's life in Chu State was fairly comfortable. As for Zou Ji, without the threat of strong political enemies, his position in Qi has become more and more stable.

Later King Qi Wei died and King Qi Xuan became a new generation of monarchs. After learning about the grievances between Qi and Ji, King Qi Xuan learned that General Tian Ji was framed, so he called Tian Ji back from Chu. Let him resume his original position. Tian Ji was originally a family member of the Qi State. This time he was able to wash away his grievances and return to the Qi State. In fact, before Zou Ji had time to make a layout, Sun Bin used his foresight to persuade Tian Ji to reinvigorate Linzi, control the overall situation of the capital, and protect himself by offense. With Sun Bin's intellect, he must have guessed Zou Ji's mind long ago, knowing that Zou Xiangguo would not let the thriving General Tian Ji start his hands. It is a pity that Tian Ji, a famous general, did not listen to his opinions, so it took many years for him to return to Qi.
