When Qin was destroyed, Wang Jian had already passed away, so how could he come out to save Qin? If he could come out, I am afraid that the Qin army generals would be scared to death before he led his troops out!
"Historical Records • Biography of Wang Jian" contains: "At the time of Qin II, Wang Jian and his son Ben were all dead, and Mengshi was destroyed" . Although Sima Qian did not directly state the time of Wang Jian's death, it can be seen from the "and also destroying Mengshi" that Wang Jian died before Qin II destroyed Mengshi. "Mengshi" is the family of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi clearly record that they were executed by Qin II in 210 years ago.
From this, it can be seen that Wang Jian died 210 years ago at the latest, which is the first year Qin II became the throne. And we must know that the first large-scale peasant uprising in the Qin Dynasty, the "Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising", broke out in 209 years ago. In other words, when the Qin Dynasty really faced a ruling crisis, Wang Jian had passed away for at least a year.
So, a famous general of Qin who died before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, how could Wang Jian lead his troops to save the country when Qin was destroyed!
Of course, although Wang Jian did not come out to save the country, his grandson Wang Li stood up and led his troops to resist the anti-thief, intending to save this Yangyang Daqin.
"Historical Records • Biography of Wang Jian" contains: "Chen Shengzhi opposes Qin, Qin makes Wang Jian's grandson and king Li attack Zhao" .
Wang Li, after Wang Jian, the third generation of the helm of the Wang family, a famous general in the Qin Dynasty. In the first 210 years, Meng Tian, who was in charge of the Northern Great Wall Corps, was ordered to die by Emperor Qin II. Wang Li was ordered to take charge of more than 300,000 elite Qin troops in the north.
In 207 BC, due to Zhao Gao's arbitrariness, all the elites of the Qin Army in Guanzhong were banished by the peasant uprising army. Before that, six countries were destroyed by Qin, and five of them were restored. The Qin Ting in Guanzhong was attacked from his back. In desperation, Qin II had to recall the Great Wall Corps defending in the north and let Wang Li lead his troops to quell the Five Kingdoms.
Of course, although Wang Li is a famous general in Qin and the descendant of Wang Jian, the world famous general who killed the Three Kingdoms, his military capabilities do not seem to be that strong! Under the leadership of Wang Li, the Great Wall Legion, which was regarded as hope by Qin II, failed to turn the tide and rescue the precarious Da Qin Dynasty.
According to "Historical Records", Wang Li returned from the Great Wall and his first battle was to intercept Zhao Jun. "Li Liang has settled on the Changshan Mountain and reported it. Zhao Wangfu envoys to Taiyuan. To Shiyi, Qin Bingsaijing陉 failed to advance" , in the early second year of Qin II, Zhao General Li Liang wanted to lead his army to capture the original Zhao Land, Wang Li led his army to stop it at Jingxing. At this time, Wang Li fought against the uprising army in Hebei, and Zhang Han attacked the uprising army in Henan. The two armies cooperated with each other and became the two main pillars of the peasant uprising army, which is already in danger.
However, judging from his subsequent performance, Wang Li could not afford the word "pillar". When extinguishing the uprising of the end of Qin Dynasty, Wang Li did not show much dazzling performance. Compared with Zhang Han's brilliant record of defeating Wei, Qi, Chu and other countries and breaking Xiangliang, Wang Li's record really makes people feel that he is a famous general. In October of the third year of Qin II, Wang Li was defeated by Liu Bang in Chengyangnan, and then he defeated Liu Bang again in the Kong. You know, at that time, Liu Bang had only more than 10,000 troops, but conservative estimates put the number of Wang Li's troops at more than 100,000. Under such a disparity in power, Wang Li was defeated by Liu Bei twice, which is really puzzling.
Afterwards, after Wang Li was defeated by Liu Bang for the second time, he saw that he could not beat Liu Bang. He had to lead the remnants to join the Zhang Han army in Julu, intending to join Zhang Han to Zhao Guo and the allied forces supporting it in Julu. Annihilate.
However, in the Battle of Julu, Wang Li and Zhang Han's army were defeated by Xiang Yu's army, Xiang Yu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses defeated more than 300,000 Qin's army, Wang Li was killed, Zhang Hanjiang. After this battle, Qin's army was lost, and Qin Ting no longer had the strength to resist the heroes of the end of Qin. Soon after, Qin declared his ruin.
Wang Li, although he was inadequate, but at least he did not humiliate the reputation of the Wang family. After being captured, he swore to the death and maintained the reputation of the Wang family for generations loyalty with his own life and fulfilled the Wang family's promise of loyalty to Qin from generation to generation. In the battle of
Julu, the Qin army will lose, mainly because of the passive avoidance of Zhanghan. Because Zhang Han was afraid that Zhao Gao would liquidate him (when Zhang Han and Wang Li were besieging Julu, Zhao Gao was already in full control of the government, and then killed and forced to death Li Si, Feng Quji and other heroes), so to avoid being Zhao Qingqing counted, Zhang Han began to passively avoid the battle. And because of Zhang Han’s avoidance, he faced Xiang YuWang Li was in a dangerous situation of fighting alone.
Zhang Han's passive avoidance and observation from the sidelines finally put Wang Li and the Great Wall Corps, who had made great achievements for the Chinese nation, into a desperate situation. Soon, under Xiang Yu’s fierce attack, the isolated Great Wall Legion suffered a devastating blow. The general set himself on fire, Su Jiao was killed, and the main general Wang Li was captured. The Great Wall Legion that once had a reputation and defeated the Huns was defeated. completely annihilated.
