Why was Yiqu able to defeat the Qin State

The Yiqu Kingdom was located in the area of present-day Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia.

In the year of the Western Weekend, after the defeat of the dog, who fled to Shuofang, rebelled against Zhou, led his troops south, and killed the king of You, Yu Lishan. King Zhou Ping was afraid of Dirong and moved his capital to Luoyi. Prior to this, Yiqu Rong took advantage of the turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty to declare his independence from the rule of the Zhou Dynasty and formally establish the kingdom (the capital is in Xigou Village, Jiaocun Township, 50 miles northwest of Jinning County).

Since then, the name of Yiqu State has appeared in Chinese history.

Soon after the founding of Yiqu, he immediately sent troops and annexed Peng Lurong (in present-day Zhenyuan Pengyang and Qingyang Pengyuan), Yuzhirong (in present-day Qingyang, Huanxian, Heshui), Quyanrong (in present-day Yanchi), and Bird's Rong (in present-day Jingchuan and Lingtai), expanding the territory.

Its national boundary is the Xihaigu grassland in the west, Qiaoshan in the east, the Ningxia Hetao in the north, and Jingshui in the south, with an area of about 100,000 square kilometers. After many years of retirement, Yiqu Rong has been strong and strong, and his strength has grown unprecedentedly.

During the Warring States period, the Yiqu Kingdom was the area of present-day Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia.

The Yiqu Kingdom refers to the area of present-day Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia, where many nomadic people with different names have been active since ancient times. According to the "Later Han Shu Xiqiang Liebiography" overview:"At the end of King Ping, Zhou Sui Ling was late, and Rong forced Zhu Xia.

From the east of Longshan, and Yiluo, there is often Rong. Therefore, there is the Rong of Di Fang Guiji in Weishou, the Rong of Yiqu in Jingbei, the Rong of Dali in Luochuan, the Lirong in Weinan, and the Rong of Yang Zhu and Quangao in Yi and Luojian. "In the Spring and Autumn Period, these numerous Rong and Di ethnic groups were still in the transition period from primitive society to feudal society, and their culture lagged behind that of the Central Plains, and they often lived nomadically.

Look**, north of Qin, in the area of present-day Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia, there have been many nomadic people with different names since ancient times.

West Nanning County, Qingyang, Gansu Province. Please refer to it.

Answer: During the Qin Dynasty, the Yiqu was in the Gansu area. The capital of Guyiqu country.

In the southwest of present-day Qingyang, Gansu, that is, Ning County. To the west of Yiqu is the country of ancient Xirong, or the Rong of Yiqu. Shang Shi existed, and at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Yiqu Jun had entered the Zhou Dynasty.

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties for more than 1,000 years, Qingyang was inhabited by the Yiqu people. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they established a powerful county state here, competing with Qin and Wei, and participated in the battle for the Central Plains, becoming a dominant minority power at that time. Later, it was destroyed by Qin and integrated into the Huaxia clan.

Southwest of Qingyang, Gansu Province, that is, Ning County.

Since Empress Dowager Xuan is widowed in her prime and now controls the government, she will definitely not be alone. Although as the queen mother, it is impossible for her to officially marry someone, so she has many lovers.

In fact, speaking of which, the first lover of the Empress Dowager Xuan in the history books is not small, and the Empress Dowager Xuan's good relationship with her is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people.

This person is Rong Di in the border of Qin, the Yiqu King of the Xiongnu. When King Huiwen was alive, Yiqu was attached to and obeyed the Qin State, but King Qin Zhao succeeded to the throne, young and ignorant, and the King of Yiqu who came to congratulate him was young and strong, unruly and unruly, and had contempt for the new King of Qin, and he could rebel again every minute.

Under such circumstances, the Empress Dowager Xuan, as the empress dowager of a country, secretly communicated to the king of Yiqu, making him her lover, so naturally her anger was greatly reduced, and her rebellion was less.

Rong Di's location, outside the Great Wall of Qin, is the important rear of Qin. It is precisely because of the sacrifice of the Empress Dowager Xuan that she has enveloped the King of Yiqu for 30 years, so that the Qin State can have no worries, free up his hands to enhance the national power, and fight endlessly among the vassal states, and have won many victories.

Thirty years later, Qin had become the boss of the vassal states, and the country was so powerful that it no longer had to fear the threat of Rong Di. So Empress Dowager Xuan chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, lured her lover to Ganquan Palace to "vacation", and then suddenly made a mistake in the gentle township, killed the king of Yiqu, and immediately sent troops to destroy Rong Di, and pocketed all the territories that originally belonged to the king of Yiqu in Ningxia, Gansu. ——From then on, the Qin State no longer had the worries of the western frontier, and then laid an important foundation for the great-grandson of the Empress Dowager Xuan, Yingzheng, to give it a go and become the first emperor.

According to Ma Qian of Taishi Company, Empress Dowager Xuan also gave birth to two sons for King Yiqu in the thirty years she had been with King Yiqu. But what happened to these two sons is not seen. If it was killed by the Qin State headed by the Empress Dowager Xuan, it would definitely be seen in the historical books, which further proved that "Qin is the country of tigers and wolves".

However, there is no record, it is possible that the two children died in the thirty years that their parents had been in contact with each other, which is more likely given the medical living conditions at the time - and the death of the son, of course, is also one of the factors that further prompted the Empress Dowager Xuan to kill her lover.

Why is it said that the early death of the son of the Empress Dowager Xuan and the King of Yiqu (if there was one) prompted the Empress Dowager Xuan to finally attack the King of Yiqu?

I just think that if the Empress Dowager Xuan doesn't want to have a child, she doesn't have to give birth at all, and she actually gave birth, her original intention was to use the son of the Empress Dowager Qin and the King of Yiqu to inherit the throne of Rong Di, so as to avoid the hidden dangers of the Qin State, and collect Rong Di to Qin without blood.

And the two sons were not able to raise, and it was impossible for them to have children again, and the policy of blood tenderness failed, so she finally killed King Yiqu.

Just guess, don't raise the bar. ）

In short, Empress Dowager Xuan made full use of all her advantages as a woman, and gave full play to them, even reaching a goal that thousands of troops could not achieve. King Yiqu is unlucky, and if he equates this delicate woman with a weakling, he can only end up like this
