Qin State's fierce general Wang Jian destroyed the five kingdoms by himself, and his merits were high, and the torrent retreated bravely and could die well
Wang Qian, a famous general at the end of the Warring States Period, destroyed the Five Kingdoms, built the Central Plains, and lived in seclusion. He led his army across the Central Plains and brought the Six Kingdoms under his command.
After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Wang Jian withdrew his military power because he did not want to be in power and did not want to have a good country. His high style and bright festival are admired by future generations. Wang Jian is a great person. When I first met him, he was a great man, but why did he retire?
Wang Zhongqin's generation: Serve the four dynasties and seize the opportunity.
Wang Jian is not an ordinary person. His ancestor Ji Jin died young, and the descendants are called"Wang", generations of loyal service to the Zhou family. Wang Jian inherited his family education and learned the art of war since he was a child.
Wang Jian studied under him when he was young"The god of killing"The white rise of the name. Although Wang Jian and Bai Qi disagreed, he was still able to take charge of himself and won Bai Qi's respect. After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi and Prime Minister Fan Ju disagreed, and the King of Qin sowed discord, resulting in Bai Qi being demoted to death.
Wang Jian was good at thinking and knew the thoughts of King Qin, so he took the initiative to defect to Fan Ju. In 257, after Bai Qi's death, Fan Ju recommended Wang Jian to the King of Qin, and Wang Jian began his career as an official. In the following ten years, Wang Jian went through three generations of Qin kings, and his official position became bigger and bigger. He managed to assert his royal power and eventually became the right-hand man of the King of Qin.
Help the King of Qin seize power, kill the rebels, and clear the tribute: suppress civil strife and stabilize the regime.
In 239, King Qin's half-brother Chang An Jun and his favorite concubine Chang Yu rebelled in an attempt to seize the throne of King Qin. The king of Qin was furious and ordered Wang Jian to quell the rebellion, and Wang Jian put down the rebellion without much effort and captured the rebels.
Wang Qian's great achievements strengthened the confidence of the Qin king, and he once again used his political talents to eliminate Lü Buwei's followers and help the Qin king seize power.
After this battle, Wang Jian became the most powerful general in the Qin army. He is well versed in the way of monarchs and ministers, and helps Yingzheng to stabilize his position in the palace.
Capture and kill the famous general Chao Gai: Winning consecutive battles, swallowing the Central Plains in one battle.
In 236 BCE, a war to destroy the Six Kingdoms began. The king of Qin ordered Wang Jian to lead an army to attack Zhao in order to test the strength of Zhao. Wang Jian led a small group of elite soldiers to attack, defeated the Zhao army, and captured nine cities.
Three years later, the King of Qin appointed Jian as the commander of the Zhao army, and killed the great scourge of the East. At the same time, Zhao fell into civil strife and its national power was declining. Wang Jian led his army to the border of Zhao and went straight to Handan. King Zhao immediately sent Li Mu to intercept the Qin army.
Li Mu, known as the god of military formations, once defeated 100,000 Hun cavalry. Wang Jian fought with the enemy for more than a year, and both armies suffered heavy losses. When Wang Jian realized that he could not win, he decided to implement a plan. He secretly bribed a minister of Zhao to slander Li Mu in front of King Zhao. Li Mu was an upright man, and he wrote a letter to the king of Zhao, but he was killed for it.
Wang Jian finally found the right time to take advantage of the dispute between the generals of Zhao State and launched a fierce attack. In March, Wang Jian captured King Zhao. The state of Zhao perished.
In 227, Yan Assassins attacked Qin and were captured by Wang Jiansheng. The king of Qin was furious and ordered Wang Jian to lead an army of 400,000 to retaliate. Wang Jian captured the king of Yan, who was later released, but the kingdom of Yan was destroyed and the royal family perished. Wang Jian also ordered his son Wang Ben to destroy Wei, and the Three Jin Dynasty perished. Wang Jian and his son fought in the Central Plains, and no one could match.
He led an army of 600,000 to capture King Hu: a generation of heroes, the cornerstone of China's unification.
After Zheng Wang Yingzheng secured the Central Plains, he turned his attention to the state of Chu and ordered Wang Jian to attack the state of Chu. Wang Jian said at the meeting that he needed 600,000 troops to win. The other generals disagreed, but Li Xin volunteered that 200,000 troops would be enough.
Li Xin was captured by the Chu general Xiang Yan, and the 200,000-strong Qin army was forced to retreat. The king of Qin had no choice but to go to Pingyang to apologize to Wang Jian and invite him out of the mountain.
In 224, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 south. This campaign used almost all of Qin's strength. Wang Jian knew that the king of Qin was afraid of him, so he asked the king of Qin to reward him with his house and beauty. King Qin understood, rewarded him with a large sum of money, and an unspoken agreement was reached between the two men.
Wang Jian changed his tactics from brute force combat to protracted warfare, and it took more than a year to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Chu army. He used his excellent logistics skills to ensure a steady stream of supplies and high morale.
The Chu army found itself mired in war, with a shortage of food and grass and low morale. Wang Jian seized the opportunity to attack the Chu army and captured the king of Chu alive. Wang Jian spent more than a year purging the remnants of the Chu army and completed the great cause of Qin's extermination of Chu. It was the largest battle in ancient history, 600,000 against 400,000. The state of Qin annexed the state of Chu and laid the foundation of the Chinese Empire.
He had his son destroy the Qi and Yan kingdoms, thus completing the unification of the Six Kingdoms: the unification of China's virtuous ministers.
In 222 BC, Wang Ben succeeded his father and destroyed the Yan kingdom in Liaodong. The following year, the state of Qi also fell under the iron hooves of Wang Ben. At this point, the Qin State completed the annexation of the Six Heroes of the Warring States.
In Qin's decade-long war to destroy the Six Kingdoms, Wang Jian and his son were the most successful. Wang Jian also led a large army south, annexed the Baiyue region, and continued to expand the territory of the unified Chinese Empire. The name of the second king is a household name in China.
After Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, Wang Jian realized that the general trend had gone. Instead of handing over his power and wealth, he gave up all military and political positions and returned to his hometown to save his life.
Wang Jian's"Lone high"It can be called"The cheapest in the world"of the model. Later historian Su Bingqi praised Wang Jianshi"Hidden Heroes"。
After completing his mission, Wang Jian returned to his hometown. He lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, reproduced offspring, and established the Langya Wang clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan. Although Wang Jian has passed away, his spirit has been passed down from generation to generation.
