Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, attacked the city and plundered the land all his life, almost invincible. But he made few achievements in politics, so Tian Lei is a first-class figure among military commanders.
In fact, it is not easy to compare these two people together, just like comparing Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu together, and there is no fundamental significance.
0 1 Le Yi advocated reform, which gave Yan the strength to cut Qi.
Yan itself is a small border country. If it weren't for the freezing weather in the north, it would have been annexed by the central plains powers. If the weak Yan State wants not to be bullied, it can only start from self-reliance.
In the period, the reform adopted by Wei became a big country in the Central Plains, thus having the strength to compete for hegemony.
During the Qin Xiaogong period, the State of Qin made the State of Qin rich and strong through Shang Yang's political reform, thus starting the struggle for the world. Although Shang Yang died, the cause of Qin's political reform was not abandoned.
During the period of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao's foot soldiers became more and more brave through the reform of riding and shooting, thus gaining the strength to compete with Qin and Wei.
Therefore, if Yan wants to be strong, he must change. So Yan Zhaowang began to reuse Le Yi, who was both civil and military, and let Le Yi make bold reforms in Yan State.
Although the reform of Yan State has been much slower than that of other vassal states, fortunately, Le Yi is a talented person. He carried out a series of political and military reforms in Yan State, which greatly increased the military strength of Yan State and made it good at supporting financial resources.
I heard that Yan was beaten by his son, and I hated Qi, and I didn't report to Qi for a day. Yan was too small to be controlled by strength, so he bowed to his subordinates and gave gifts to Guo Kun, recruiting talents first. Le Yi made Yu Yan king of Zhao Wei, and the prince treated him with courtesy. Le Yi resigned and appointed him as a minister, while Yan Zhaowang thought that Yaqing had passed. -Historical records
Because the king of Qi was unpopular, he launched a crusade against Qi at the initiative of Yan State. Although the first world war did not completely destroy Qi, it drove the king of Qi to death, and Qi was almost completely annihilated.
The commander-in-chief of this war was Le Yi, and the five-nation allied forces captured more than 70 cities in Qi. Even Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period was deeply admired for his extraordinary courage. He often posed as Le Yi.
Le Yi's reform content is worth learning from every generation of monarchs.
In fact, the content of the reform is basically the same, but the level of the implementer is very important. Obviously, the reform of Li Kui and Shang Yang is very famous, because they carried out thoroughly, so they achieved the expected results.
So I asked about cutting Qi. Le Yi said to him? Qi, after the occupation of the territory, there are many people in the territory, so it is not easy to attack alone. The king will want to cut it, nothing like Zhao, Chu and Wei. ? So let Le Yi make an appointment with Zhao Haoqi Huiwen, not even Chu, not Wei, and let Zhao Yun say that Qin would benefit from cutting Qi. The princes harmed the king of Qi, who was arrogant and tyrannical, and all contended with Yan. -Historical records
While the reform in Le Yi, although the content of the reform is relatively clear, the implementation of the reform is somewhat unsatisfactory. Therefore, even if the reform is finally successful, it is difficult to turn Yan into a powerful vassal state. So what is the content of Le Yi's reform?
The first is to govern the country according to law. This is absolutely what reformers in any feudal era must advocate. The rule of man has been unable to achieve equality, and only the rule of law can achieve equality to the greatest extent. The second is elite management. Of course, this is a patent of Cao Cao, and Le Yi only proposed a part of it. He believes that the selection of officials should examine the ability of this person, not whether their family is noble.
The other is to reward good people and punish bad people. This is a sentence in the chivalrous line, which is still meaningful in Le Yi's reform. Le Yi believes that we should give appropriate rewards to law-abiding civilians and even slaves.
Finally, military reform. Le Yi advocated tactical training and discipline training for the army. War is a very important part of the battle, and discipline is the guarantee of the strength of the army, which is also the true story of Cao Cao's acquisition of Le Yi.
Through these four aspects of reform, Yan Zai did make great progress. However, after Le Yi stepped down, the State of Yan did not carry out the Le Yi Reform like the Shang Yang Reform of Qin, so the demise of the State of Yan was inevitable.
Tian Lei has made numerous achievements in his life and never failed.
Tian Lei is a completely different kind of talent. He belongs to the Han Xin class and is a first-class military general. During the reign of Zhao Haoqi of Qin, Leitian was named Wu Anjun to help Qin attack the city.
In the Battle of Yi Que, Tian Lei, as the main commander, led Qin Jun to fight against the allied forces of Korea and Wei. Defeated the 240,000 allied forces of Korea and Wei, opened the gap of Qin's southward movement, and conquered two neighboring countries.
In the process of fighting against Chu, it flooded the city in vain, defeated Chu three times in a row, and finally entered the hinterland of Chu, occupying the capital of Chu. Destroy the ancestral temple of Chu and annihilate the Chu army of 350 thousand.
The battle of Changping, and Zhao fought for three years.
Finally, because Zhao replaced veteran Lian Po with young Zhao Kuo, he finally seized the opportunity and defeated Zhao in one fell swoop, killing 400,000 Zhao, making him famous all over the world.
From these achievements, we can see that Tian Lei is indeed a first-class general. Because of the existence of Tian Lei, Zhao Xiang, king of Qin, gradually had the idea of unifying the whole country.
Qin Jun was defeated by the meticulous work, and Zhang Erqi grabbed it. Zhao swept the board, catching up with the Qin wall. He said that he led 25,000 troops to Zhao, and another 5,000 troops were caught between the two walls. Zhao split in two, providing foodstuff is impossible. The Qin dynasty lightly attacked it. Zhao's war situation is unfavorable, so he sticks to the city wall and waits for rescue. The king of Qin heard that Zhao's esophagus had fallen off and Wang Zhizhi was in Hanoi. He gave the people a rank, and after he was fifteen, he informed Changping, blocking Zhao's rescue and food. -Historical records
However, Tian Lei's political level has not yet reached home, so the great cause of Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, has not yet been completed. At that time, Fan Sui, the prime minister of Qin, thought that Tian Lei had done too much credit and would replace himself as prime minister sooner or later.
In order not to ruin Zhao's great achievements, he chose to spread rumors and slander. The item of Qin listened to rumors and replaced it. As a result, the State of Qin was defeated by reinforcements led by Wei Wuji and lost the power to unify the whole country.
Afterwards, I began to blame Qin, Wang and Wang. This foolish behavior finally cost him his life. Because of political stupidity, Tian Lei was executed by Qin.
Le Yi and Bai Qi are undoubtedly outstanding figures in the history of our country. Le Yi has both culture and skills. After years of reform and transformation, the weak Yan State gradually became stronger.
Bai Qi is an excellent general, and he is known as the four great generals in the Warring States Period. It helped Qin defeat almost all the warring States opponents and gave Qin a foundation for unifying the whole country.
But neither of them ended well. When Le Yi was in Yan Zhaowang, he was in charge of Yan State, but Yan Zhaowang could not live forever. After Yan Zhaowang's death, Yan came to power and began to fight.
King Hui of Yan thought that Le Yi might become the king of Qi, and Le Yi had to leave Yan to avoid disaster.
Since then, strict political reform has been put on hold. Without a strong executor, even if everyone is familiar with the contents of the reform, it will not help.
Although the situation in Tian Lei is different, it is similar. King Xiang of Qin listened to the slanderers and took it down. Tian Lei was so resentful that he really offended Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, and was finally sentenced to death, which was also a helpless move.
Their dabbling is not completely similar, and it is not good to put them together. Can only say that Le Yi dabbles in a wider range, and Tian Lei is superior in military affairs.
