Why was the state of Lu not wiped out by the state of Qi on the border, but by the state of Chu?

In 261 BC, the army of Chu attacked Lu and captured the land of Xuzhou. In 256 B.C., King Chu Kaolie sent a large army to destroy the state of Lu, moved Lu Qing to Xiayi, and sealed the king of Lu in Judi. Therefore, for Lu Qinggong, he naturally became the last monarch of the Lu State.

Because Qi Lu was originally a family and had a deep relationship with each other, the Chu State had long been eyeing this piece of fat, so the Lu State was wiped out by the Chu State.

Because the State of Qi had no plan to invade the State of Lu, and the State of Chu had always coveted the State of Lu, the State of Lu was not wiped out by the State of Qi on the side but by the State of Chu.

<> "Why did the State of Chu eliminate the State of Lu?"

The state of Lu was a very famous one among the many vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. said that he was famous, not because of how strong his national strength was, and what he had done believed in lead. Although the state of Lu had followed the order of King Mu of Zhou in the era of Lu Gongbo, he united with the state of Chu to eliminate the state of Xu, which was the king.

But since then, the state of Lu has never left famous deeds in the military in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Since the Lu State was not a powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not one of the Seven Heroes in the late Warring States Period.

Why was the country of Lu so famous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? This should be attributed to Zhou Gong, the founder of the Lu State, and Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, who became the ancestor of the sages of later generations. These two legendary figures were born in the country of Lu, and they inadvertently raised the fame of the country of Lu.

Moreover, Lu is the most trusted vassal state of Zhou Tianzi, and it is in the Zhou royal family. Zhou Tianzi also favored him, and various reasons were superimposed, which created a country like Lu State, which was not strong in national strength, but had a high status and reputation among the vassal states. In such a country, other vassal states will more or less give him some face.

For example, although the state of Qi is close to the state of Lu, it is far stronger than the state of Lu. Being able to destroy the Lu State and eat the land of the Lu State is of great strategic importance to the Qi State. The state of Lu is located in the hilly area of southwest Shandong, and for the state of Qi, which is located in the northeast and north of Shandong, the land of the state of Lu means that there is at least a barrier in the south of the core area of the state of Jixiao.

Qi no longer needs to concentrate its forces in Wudu to protect Qi territory, which is a huge change in the military situation for Qi State.

However, even though the territory of the Lu State is of such important strategic importance to the Qi State, the Qi State still shows mercy to the Lu State and does not eliminate the Lu State, which shows how revered the status of the Lu State is. However, if the Qi State did not destroy the Lu State, the other vassal states may not be the same. The state of Lu finally died at the hands of the state of Chu, so why did the state of Chu destroy the state of Lu?

Because of the collapse of etiquette and music in the late Warring States period, international status and bloodline were insignificant in the face of strength. The state of Chu just ate the state of Lu, and there was nothing special about it. Moreover, judging from the situation, eating the Lu State can play a role in containing the rise of the Qi State.

The state of Chu borders the state of Qin to the west, the state of Qi to the east, and the Sanjin in the middle. In other words, the state of Chu is actually facing all-out military pressure from the other five countries except for the state of Yan. Yan Guo itself is the weakest of the Seven Heroes, which is insignificant.

The five powerful vassal states threatened the security of Chu State, which meant that Chu State had to think of some way to deal with it. Eating the state of Lu can counterbalance the state of Qi, and the three Jin can be consolidated by jointly opposing the alliance between the state of Qi and the state of Qin. All of Chu's military strength and military focus were actually placed on confronting Qin, the most powerful state in the western part of the country, and he was incapable of dealing with Qin and Qi at the same time.

Therefore, the land of Lu has actually become a buffer zone between Qi and Chu, and if Qi really wants to fight Chu, it is a big deal to give up the land of Lu, so that Qi should always be satisfied, right?

The general situation in the late Warring States period is already very clear, the Qin State is dominant, and its comprehensive military strength is no longer something that any other vassal state can contend with. Subsequently, the vassal states were destroyed one after another, why was Qi the last vassal state to be destroyed? I think there are a few reasons for this:

First of all, the geographical location of Qi was special, and Qi was located on the present-day Shandong Peninsula at that time, with the sea in the east. In terms of geographical location, Qin Guojiang is far away in the southwest, far away from Qi State. How could the Qin State leave its neighbors around it and attack the Qi State at the expense of the near and far?

Therefore, under the strategy of Qin's distant and close attack, division and disintegration, Qi was taken as the last target of attack. This is one of the reasons. <>

Secondly, during the period of King Min of Qi, the State of Yan colluded with various countries to attack Qi, and the State of Qi was almost destroyed because of this, and King Min of Qi was still killing the State of Chu in the process of fleeing south. Therefore, when the Qin State launched a unification war, the Qi State could not let go of the grievances with other countries, and always maintained a neutral posture, and even made friends with the Qin State. With such an "ally", how could the Qin State destroy it first?

Even when the Qin State broke Zhao and destroyed the Yan State, the Qi State was still unmoved. The lips were cold and the teeth were cold, and in the end, when the Qin State destroyed the Chu State, and then opened its mouth to the former "ally" Qi State, it was too late to regret it!

Su Shi said in the Theory of the Six Kingdoms:"The Six Kingdoms were shattered, the non-soldiers were disadvantaged, the war was not good, and the disadvantage was to bribe Qin. "Although the State of Qi is the last to perish, but it is inevitable that the fate of destruction, if the six countries put aside their grievances and work together to contain the Qin State, which is stronger and which is weaker is not known.

The state of Qi was destroyed by the state of Qin, and in 221 BC, Wang Jian of Qi surrendered to the king of Qin, and the state of Qin unified the six kingdoms, and the state of Qi was destroyed. In 265 B.C., after the death of King Xiang of Qi, his son Tian Jian ascended the throne, and the queen's brother Hou Sheng was in power.

The State of Qi was a vassal state in the history of the State from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was named a marquis by Zhou Tianzi, and was divided into two eras, namely the Jiang surname Lu Qi and Tian Qi. It was jointly evaluated by Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Chuan Xianggong 27 Years", "Chinese Zheng Yu" and Sima Qian's "Shiji Twelve Princes Repentance Chronology" as one of the four powerful countries of Spring and Autumn.

The state of Qi has suffered many devastations in its history.

The first time was that the Jiang Qi State was replaced by the Tian Qi State, that is, the Qi State, which was originally Jiang Ziya's fief, and the orthodox monarchs were all surnamed Jiang, and later in the early Spring and Autumn Period, the doctor Tian of the Qi State took advantage of the young monarch's youth and established himself as the king of Qi after the coup d'état. But this is not a real demise, because the country name is still Qi State.

The second time was when Le Yi, the general of Yan State, led the 5-nation coalition army to attack Qi and almost wiped out the entire territory of Qi State. King Qi fled to the state of Wei. Later, Tian Dan, the doctor of Qi, defeated the 5-nation alliance with the fire ox array, and the Qi country was able to restore the country.

The third time was when King Qi Ai pursued a policy of compromise and sat idly by in the process of Qin Shi Huang's annexation of the Five Kingdoms, and later became the sorrow of history as the last country to be destroyed, with 300,000 troops surrendering without a fight.

The fourth time was the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu divided the old nobleman Tian Heng of Qi as the king of Qi, and later Xiang Yu was defeated, Liu Bang recruited Tian Heng into Xianyang, Tian Heng felt like the first king, and led five hundred heroes to commit suicide and martyrdom in Penglai.

Please give it points, my hands are tired of typing].

The state of Qi was one of the first few vassal states to be divided in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It lasted until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In the end, it was replaced by Tian's Vaqi.

In the end, it was destroyed by the Qin state.

Qin State Did Qin finally unify the Seven Kingdoms.
