The discussion on the strategy of Hengshan comes from the eighty fourth chapter of Guan Qingzhong Wu.
Duke Huan of Qi asked Guan how to subdue Hengshan State.Guan replied: "If you ask people to buy weapons from Hengshan State at a high price and then sell them, Yan State will buy them with you.",the Qin stateandJin state during Spring and Autumn periodI will buy it when I know it.As the world strives to buy weapons, the price of weapons is bound to rise tenfold.Duke Huan of Qi promised this and immediately sent someone to Hengshan State to buy weapons at a high price. Yan, Qin and Jin did follow suit.Seeing this situation, the King of Hengshan said to his prime minister, "We will raise the price of weapons ten times as soon as possible." All the people of the country have devoted their financial resources to the production of weapons.The State of Qi sent Xipeng to the State of Jin to buy grain. Xipeng bought grain in the State of Jin at a price of 15, that is, sold it at a price of 50.People from all countries learned that they went to Qi to sell food.After spending some time buying weapons and grain, Qi broke off diplomacy with Hengshan.In this way, countries have also broken off their relations with them.The State of Lu occupied the south of Hengshan, and the State of Qi occupied the north of Hengshan. Seeing that Hengshan did not have enough weapons to fight against the two countries, it had to raise its hand and surrender.
