Zhao Xiangzi of the Three Families Divided into the Jin Dynasty (Part 2)

Just as the Zhao family was at a critical juncture when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, Zhang Mengtan, a close aide of Zhao Xiangzi, broke out of the city to instigate Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi to rebel.

After Zhang Mengtan met Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi, he straight to the point told them the allusion of "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold".

Zhang Mengtan analyzed the current situation to Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi, "Now Zhi Boyao is leading the two leaders to attack the Zhao family. If the Zhao family is destroyed, Zhi Boyao will definitely cannibalize you next. Are the two leaders going to sit back and wait to die?

?If the Zhao family is destroyed, the Wei and Han families will also be in danger."

After Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi heard this, they felt that what Zhang Mengtan said was reasonable. They thought about Zhi Boyao's domineering appearance now, and then thought about the ending of Zhang Mengtan's words, and they were a little hesitant.

Wei Huanzi said to Zhi Boyao, "Zhi Boyao is a rough and tumble man. If our secret is leaked, everything will be over. What should we do?"

In order to dispel the concerns of Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi, Zhang Mengtan continued to lobby. "Two leaders, we are in the same situation now. One will be prosperous and one will suffer. Only the three of us know about this, so I still hope that you two will

The leader must make a decision as soon as possible!"

The Han family and the Wei family, who were originally dissatisfied, were moved by Zhang Mengtan's powerful statement, especially since they both suffered from the sequelae of "flooding" and were afraid that they would become the second Zhao family, so they immediately agreed to rebel.

, teamed up with the Zhao family to attack the Zhi family.

Because Han Wei had been threatened by Zhi Boyao for a long time, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi worked with Zhang Mengtan to formulate a plan to counterattack Zhi Boyao. They also agreed to the alliance conditions proposed by Zhang Mengtan and formally formed an alliance with Zhao Xiangzi.

Zhi Boyao, who was already so proud, never thought that on the eve of his victory, the three families of Zhao, Han and Wei would join forces to destroy him.

The next night, the three families of Zhao, Han, and Wei worked together to divert the river water and dig towards the Zhijia Army's camp.

Zhi Boyao was awakened from his sleep by the shouts of killing, and found that the barracks was full of water. Just as Zhi Boyao was panicking, war drums sounded again from all directions.

Soldiers from the Zhao, Han, and Wei families rushed over in small boats and rafts. Countless soldiers from the Zhi family were hacked to death and drowned in the water. Zhi Boyao's entire army was wiped out, and he took advantage of the panic.

He escaped on the raft, but when he was about to land, he was caught by Zhao Xiangzi's men who had ambushed him.

The three families of Zhao, Han, and Wei destroyed the Zhi family, and not only took back the land that Zhi Boyao had invaded from the two families, but even the land of the Zhi family was equally divided among the three families. After that, they also divided up other lands left by the Jin State.

.

After Zhao, Han, and Wei were divided into Jin, Zhao Xiangzi implemented a series of measures to promote the development and growth of Zhao State, and Zhao Xiangzi also became the founding king of Zhao State during the Warring States Period.

[The Sesame brothers and sisters have something to say]

Zhao Xiangzi, whose birth date is unknown and died in 425 BC, was named Wuxie and his posthumous title was "Xiangzi", so he was called "Zhao Xiangzi" in history. Zhao Zi died in 425 BC. During his reign, he was elected

He was virtuous and capable, put down civil strife, and was diligent in political affairs. Together with his father Zhao Jianzi, he was called "the martyr of Jian and Xiang".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State was one of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period". At the end of the Jin Dynasty, four ministers, Zhi Boyao, Zhao Xiangzi, Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi, controlled the power of the Jin State. Zhi Boyao's strength was that of the four ministers

He is the strongest among them and wants to be a real monarch. He tries every means to weaken the strength of the other three families.

Zhao Xiangzi, as a senior official of the Jin State in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the leader of the Zhao family of the Jin State, paid attention to the internal unity and outward expansion during the brutal struggle of the six ministers of the Jin State to seize power. He was also able to seize the opportunity, transform conflicts and defeat

The victory finally gave the Zhao family the power to rank among the princes and became one of the three families that divided the Jin Kingdom.

In 403 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei were granted the title of vassals by King Weilie of Zhou Dynasty. The three families were independent, and were known as the "three Jin families" in history.
