The relationship between Yiqu and Qin

The grudge between Qin and Yiqu could be traced back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago. The Righteous Canal was already very powerful at the end of King Ping of Eastern Zhou. It had built a city for decades and became a powerful country in the northwest region. Due to the border with Qin, the relationship between the two countries had always been tense. In 331 B.C., King Huiwen of Qin took advantage of the civil strife in Yiqu to send an army to attack Yiqu, forcing it to submit to Qin. However, the Yiqu Kingdom still secretly disobeyed and often attacked the Qin Kingdom. In 327 B.C., the Qin State attacked the Yiqu State again and seized Yuzhi City. After the Yiqu Kingdom failed, they once again submitted to the Qin Kingdom. In 272 B.C., the King of Yiqu was trapped and killed by Empress Dowager Xuan in Ganquan Palace. Qin sent troops to destroy Yiqu and finally destroyed this Rong country. Qin had set up Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun in Yiqu. Thus, the grudge between Qin and Righteous Canal ended with Qin's victory and Righteous Canal's destruction.

The Yiqu crusade against Qin referred to the year 318 B.C., when the Yiqu Kingdom took advantage of the chaotic war between the Central Plains countries to break away from the control of the Qin Kingdom and join forces with the five eastern countries to attack the Qin Kingdom. In order to eliminate their worries, the Qin Kingdom tried to bribe the Yiqu Kingdom. However, the Yiqu Kingdom did not fall for it and still attacked the Qin Kingdom. In the end, they defeated the Qin army and recovered part of their lost land.

In 272 B.C., King Zhao of Qin launched an attack on the Yiqu Kingdom and finally destroyed it. The reason why the Qin State wanted to destroy the Righteous Canal was because the Righteous Canal was one of the more powerful branches of the Xirong, and they often had conflicts with the Qin State. Before this, Qin had adopted a policy of appeasement to make friends with the Righteous Canal. However, in order to remove their worries, Qin had decided to destroy the Righteous Canal. Before the war, the Empress Dowager of Qin, Mi Yue, had an affair with the King of Yiqu and trapped him. This war allowed Qin to advance eastward without any worries. After destroying Yiqu, Qin set up Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun. At the same time, they built the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of the Hu tribe.

There was a 500-year-long conflict and struggle between the Qin Dynasty and the Yiqu Kingdom. Yiqu State was a powerful vassal state located in the area of Gansu, Shaanxi, and Ningxia. It originated from a tribe in the ancient Xirong. During the Warring States Period, Yiqu and Qin often had conflicts. Qin had invaded Yiqu many times and finally destroyed Yiqu in 314 B.C., seizing 25 cities. The Qin Kingdom had treated the Yiqu Kingdom through plundering and conquering, but they had also tried to control the Yiqu Kingdom through coaxing and appeasing. However, the Yiqu monarch saw through Qin's methods and did not accept Qin's rule. Qin finally destroyed the Yiqu Country through a large-scale attack and set up Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun. The destruction of the Yiqu Kingdom had allowed the Qin Kingdom to expand its influence in the northwest region. As for the exact location of the tomb of the Qin Dynasty's Yiqu Jun, there was no exact information at the moment.

Qin's destruction of Yiqu was a war during the Warring States Period when Qin expanded to the northwest. Yiqu was a relatively powerful branch of Xirong, located in the northwest of Ning County, Gansu Province. Before Duke Xiao of Qin, Yiqu sometimes rebelled and sometimes surrendered. King Huiwen of Qin planned to destroy Yiqu to expand its northwest territory. In 331 B.C., civil strife broke out in Yiqu, and Qin sent Shu Chang Cao to lead troops to pacify it. In 327 B.C., King Yiqu surrendered to Qin, and Qin established a county there. In 318 years ago, Yiqu took advantage of the opportunity when Qin defeated Sanjin in the east to attack Qin on a large scale and occupied Li Bo. Qin attacked Yiqu and obtained 25 cities. Qin's power in the northwest had developed greatly. In the forty-third year of King Nan of Zhou (272 years ago), Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin trapped and killed King Yiqu in Ganquan Palace, and launched an army to destroy Yiqu, setting its land as Longxi, Beidi and Shangjun.

There was a complicated relationship between Qin and Yiqu. One could understand that the Yiqu Kingdom was the most powerful of the Xirong tribes during the Warring States Period. They had once shown their ambitions towards the Central Plains and posed a threat to the Qin Kingdom. In order to solve their worries, Qin destroyed Yiqu Country during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. Before the war, the Qin Kingdom used a strategy called the honey trap. Through the close relationship between Empress Dowager Xuan and the king of the Yiqu Kingdom, they successfully removed the guard of the Yiqu Kingdom. However, this kind of behavior was somewhat unacceptable in ancient China culture. The method used by the Qin State to destroy the Yiqu State was avoided by later generations of historians because the Qin State's sending troops was equivalent to an unannounced war, which was not recognized in ancient China culture. In general, the relationship between Qin and Yiqu was complicated and controversial.

There was a long period of conflict and communication between Qin and Yiqu. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the Yiqu Kingdom was a powerful Rong Kingdom and posed a threat to the Central Plains. In order to eliminate the vigilance of the Yiqu Kingdom, the Qin Kingdom adopted a policy of appeasement and established a close relationship with the Yiqu King through Empress Dowager Xuan, Mi Yue. Empress Dowager Xuan gave birth to two children for the Yiqu King, which made the Yiqu King trust the Qin country and let down his guard. However, the Qin State did not completely eliminate the threat of the Yiqu State. The war and conflict between the two sides continued for a long time. In the end, the Qin State destroyed the Yiqu State in a war and made it submit to the Qin State. However, the destruction of the Yiqu Kingdom did not completely eliminate the threat of the Qin Kingdom, because the Yiqu Kingdom still maintained a certain degree of resistance and resistance under the rule of the Qin Kingdom.

Yiqu had attacked Qin many times, the most famous of which was in 314 B.C. After defeating Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, Qi and other countries, Qin turned back and attacked Yiqu on a large scale, seizing 25 cities of Yiqu and expanding its influence to the northwest. This war had further consolidated Qin's power in the northwest region.

Qin destroyed Yiqu in 272 B.C. Prince Zhao of Qin immediately sent troops to attack Yiqu and finally destroyed the Yiqu Kingdom. The Yi Qu Kingdom had shown their bravery in the battle and provided a large number of soldiers and military resources to the Qin Kingdom. The reason why Qin destroyed Yiqu was to solve their worries and focus all their energy on the hegemony of the other vassal states. Destroying the Yiqu Kingdom was only the first step of King Zhao of Qin's attack on the eastern Central Plains. His ambition was to unify the world. After destroying the Yiqu Kingdom, the Qin Kingdom attacked the Central Plains in the east and proposed a strategy to conquer the world. In this battle, the famous general of Qin, Baiqi, played a crucial role.

There was a long-term grudge and war between the Yiqu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom. The Yiqu Kingdom was established at the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty. By continuously attacking the surrounding Xirong tribes, they built dozens of cities and sent soldiers to guard them. During the period of Duke Mu of Qin, Qin used the strategy of the Rong people to attack the Yiqu Country. They took down twelve cities in Yiqu and expanded their land by thousands of miles. However, the Yiqu Kingdom was not completely destroyed. It still existed and made peace with the Qin Kingdom. Later on, the Qin State adopted a policy of appeasement, roping in, and corruption. They had an affair with the King of Yiqu to limit the power of the Yiqu State. In 331 B.C., civil strife broke out in the Yiqu Kingdom. The Qin Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops to attack, and the Yiqu Rong surrendered to the Qin Kingdom. However, even if they surrendered on the surface, the king of Yiqu still caused trouble for Qin in the chaotic battle of the Central Plains. In 318 B.C., the Yiqu Kingdom betrayed the Qin Kingdom and paid tribute to the Wei Kingdom, which dealt a serious blow to the Qin Kingdom's plan to advance eastward. At this critical moment, Qin country adopted an ingenious method. In general, the relationship between the Yiqu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom was one of love and hate. The Qin Kingdom had adopted many strategies to limit the power of the Yiqu Kingdom.
