The grudge between Qin State and Yiqu

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 Chinese 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 Chinese 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 State was located in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China, while the capital of Qin State was in Xianyang. According to the information provided, Yiqu and Qin were about 250 kilometers apart. The specific map information of the Yiqu and the Qin country was not provided.

The identity of Lord Yiqu of the State of Qin was not explicitly mentioned.

Qin State Yiqu was located in Ning County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province, China.

The relationship between Yiqu and Qin could be described as a love-hate relationship. During the Three Dynasties period, the Yiqu people were close neighbors to the Qin country, and there were frequent conflicts and wars between the two countries. In 772 B.C., Yiqu Rong took advantage of the internal strife of the Zhou Dynasty and announced that he would break away from the Zhou Dynasty's rule and officially establish the Yiqu Kingdom. The Qin State had raised horses for the people of the Zhou Dynasty in the beginning. Later, it was enfeoffed to the land of Xirong and had a conflict with the righteous canal. In 624 B.C., Duke Mu of Qin used the strategy of Minister You Yu, who was recruited from the Yiqu Kingdom, to attack the northern Yiqu Kingdom and dominate Xirong. In 444 B.C., Qin attacked Yiqu again and captured its ruler, thus dominating Xirong. In general, there was a long-term hostile relationship between the Yiqu and the Qin country, but there were also short periods of cooperation and submission.

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.

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.
