In 227 BC, in order to achieve the purpose of assassinating the King of Qin, King of Qin, Ying Zheng, took the city of Yan State and a person's head to the Qin State to meet the King of Qin. The person he was carrying was the King of Qin who ordered the man to get his head and reward him with a thousand gold medals, and even slaughtered all of his clans. He was once the Qin general Fan (fán) in the period (wū) period (qí). What did he do to make the King of Qin hate so much?
The generals of Qin State appeared in the "Records of the Grand Historian" record Qin Shihuang , but they did not have the name Fan Yuqi . However, there was a man named Huan (huán) and this person was probably Fan Yuqi. Let’s first take a look at what stories are there in Huanqi .
occupy the nine cities of Zhao State, King Zhao In a fit of anger, he died of death
After Qin King Ying Zheng took power, he took the power firmly in his own hands. Huan Qi was the general appointed after he took power. I hope Huan Qi could help him fulfill his ambition to unify the six countries. It can be said that Huan Qiong began to make great achievements from then on, and his future prospects were bright. At this time, Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao, hopes to obtain cooperation with Qin and achieve win-win results. So Ying Zheng warmly treated Zhao Yan in the capital Xianyang .
King Zhao was planning to annex the city of Yan State, but was worried that Qin State would take this opportunity to attack him. So he discussed with the King of Qin, hoping that when he attacked Yan State, Qin State agreed and would not attack him.
At first, the King of Qin agreed to his request, but then Yan State came to envoy and successfully persuaded the King of Qin to attack Zhao State. As a result, when Zhao State attacked Yan, Qin State directly annexed the nine cities of Zhao State. In this battle, Wang Jian was the main general of the Qin army, and Huan Qi was the second general who cooperated with Wang Jian. In addition, Huan Qie successfully won the most difficult and most important Yecheng in this conquest.
After this operation, King Zhao did not obtain the land of Yan State as expected, and even lost nine cities himself. After a blow, he died of depression.
The last person who recorded the beheading of Qin
When Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao Yan died, his son Zhao Qian ascended the throne. In order to unify the world, the King of Qin first had to go east to attack Zhao State. So Huan Qi was sent to attack Zhao again. The result was that Pingyang City to the east of Ye City and Wu City to the west were captured, and even in this battle, he beheaded 100,000 enemy troops.
This beheading record was the last record in the process of Qin unifying the six countries. In the past, the Qin State Council often had such records, and the purpose of doing this was to not let the tiger go back to the mountain and weaken the opponent's strength bit by bit. For example, Bai Qi and once killed 400,000 Zhao troops, which also made him the title of "Killing God".
Then why didn’t Qin weaken the six countries so much later? The main reason is that the six countries at this time no longer had the strength to compete with Qin, so there was no need to be such a weakening, and they also had to prepare for the unification of the world in the future, so that the Qin army would maintain its reputation as a "righteous soldier". This is also the original claim of Lu Buwei in " Lu Family Chunqiu ".
was defeated by Zhao army general Li Mu
From the previous deeds, it can be seen that Huan Qi almost became the first person to attack Zhao State. Later, the King of Qin sent Huan Qi to attack Zhao State. But this time it was not as smooth as before. He met Li Mu, a general from the Warring States Period, in Li Mu.
result, not only was Li Mu defeated, but the Zhao army even took advantage of the situation to retake the large area of land occupied by Qin. By this time, since King Ying Zheng took power, he not only failed to annex any of the six countries, but was even defeated by the enemy. This has a huge impact on the overall situation.
Huan Qi also knew the consequences of his failure in this battle, so he ran away. After saying so much, what does it have to do with Fan Yuqi?
Fan Yuqi escaped to Yan State, and this time was almost the time when Huan Qi was defeated. Moreover, the second year after he was defeated and fled, the prince Dan , who was still hostage in Qin, secretly fled back to Yan State.Next is Jing Ke took Fan Yuqi's head to meet the King of Qin and assassinated the King of Qin.
can be inferred from here that Fan Yuqi is actually Huan Qi.
After all, Fan Yuqi did not appear in "Records of the Grand Historian: The Annals of Qin Shihuang", but it appeared again in "Records of the Grand Historian" about Jing Ke. Moreover, Jing Ke’s story is all folk legends and was later sorted out. By word of mouth, it is very likely that Huan Qi was pronounced as Fan Yuqi, and the name Fan Yuqi was found in the story of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin . Therefore, the reason why the King of Qin hated Fan Yuqi was that he not only led his army to be defeated, which had a great impact, but also defected to other countries, which would definitely make Ying Zheng, who was determined to unify the world.
