Years of civil war and merging of warring states in the Spring and Autumn period resulted in an era when 7 warring states dominated China, and eventually the unification of the country.
With amibiton to attain dominating power and to unify the country, all of the 7 warring states embarked on reform programmes and strengthening of military power. Some major reformers were Li Li of Wei, Wu Qi of Chu, and King Wuling of Zhao. But Shang Yang of Qin emerged as the most successful of all. In 359 BC, King Xiao of Qin appointed Shang Yang to take charge of the reform, resulting in the rise in strength of Qin above other states in the following 100 years after the reign of King Xiao. Its army, reinforced by consription system, was known for formidable fighting power and spirit.
Qin also refromed its diplomatic policy. Learning the lesson that waging wars on distant soil might be costly, the Qin diplomat Fan Sui advocated the policy to build diplomatic ties with distant states but wage wars on the neighbouring ones. The sphere of influence of Qin expanded, as the area under its firm control gradually extended into the land of other warring states.
Qin ended the reign of Zhou Dynasty, before it occupied the area to the east and south of the Yellow River, area that used to be the sphere of influence of Han, and set up 3 administrative authorities there, namely Taiyuan, Shangdang and Sanchuan. With such expedition, Qin had occupied a vast territory including most of the present-day Shaanxi province, part of Shanxi province, the western part of the provinces of Henan, Hubei and Hunan, and northeastern part of Sichuan province. It gave Qin the stategic advantages in its miliary advancement, and even in case of retreat. The military power of Qin had clearly dominated other warring states.
With such advantages, Qin laid down a solid foundation for its future attempt to unify the country. Meanwhile, the 6 other warring states were plagued by instability from political rivalry.
