Qin Shihuang's biggest war in the unification of the six countries was the elimination of Chu. In this war, Qin Wang Yingzheng and the entire Qin Dynasty court made major decision-making errors. The original reason for this major decision-making error was that a young general named Li Xin proposed that the state of Chu could be destroyed with 200,000 troops. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this plan itself, and it has also been unanimously approved by the entire Qin Dynasty except Wang Jian. Do you know why?
Because for the state of Chu at the time, a poor and weak big country, it was completely okay for 200,000 to occupy the political and economic center of Chu, and people at that time did not realize that Chu, a country that was capable of short-term At that time, Wang Jian did not oppose Li Xin's 200,000 troops to attack the Chu State, but Wang Jian recognized that these 200,000 troops could occupy the political and economic center of Chu State. But for the conquest of the entire country of Chu, including the vast South China region, 200,000 troops are far from enough.
However, the young general thought that 200,000 was enough, because he did not take into account the astonishing power that the nobles in various parts of Chu had burst out when the country broke down. Wang Jian had this prediction. Apart from Wang Jian, no one actually realized this problem, including his own son. Wang Ben didn’t think that his father’s strategic considerations were appropriate, or even considered redundant. Qin Wang Yingzheng was also the case at that time. Even though more than 70 episodes of Daqin Fu were broadcast, many people thought it was too sticky. Everyone I want to see the wonderful war of the Great Qin Empire to unify the six countries. In fact, what I have to say is that Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries is a destructive force. The only war that can be described in the war to destroy the six countries is the battle to destroy Chu.
Others, the national wars of extermination are very poor, and there is nothing to deduce, and in the early battles to exterminate the Three Jins, it is very simple for the leader of the strategic thinking of Qin Wang Yingzheng. When the South Korea was wiped out, the main force was not dispatched. When the State of Wei was wiped out, it was an infrastructure project that flooded the main beam. Although there were some twists and turns during the eradication of Zhao, the chaos in Zhao’s court and the famine, locust plagues and earthquakes in Zhao’s territory did not abolish much effort.
Qin King Yingzheng at that time was a bit erratic, and after Jing Ke assassinated Qin, King Qin ordered Qin Jun to advance quickly to the Kingdom of Yan, and did not encounter effective resistance. King Yan fled in a hurry, so the King of Qin at that time From the view of the Manchu civil and military forces, it was impossible for Chu to have any amazing performance, so everyone agreed that 200,000 Qin troops could destroy the basic strategic plan of Chu, and despised Wang Jian's old age. In this battle, Li Xin made no mistakes in strategy or tactics, but in the specific execution process, there were some greedy advances.
Of course, this did not directly lead to the Qin army’s disastrous defeat. What directly led to the Qin army’s disastrous defeat was the problem of the rear supply of grain and grass. The Qin army’s treason to the enemy caused Li Xin to suffer from the enemy and was forced to retreat strategically. During the retreat, Li Xian still showed the courage of a young general. Not only did he personally break the post, but also ensured that the main part of the Qin army would return to the territory of Qin when the enemy pursued it, and Li Xin was not caught afterwards. Qin Shihuang shares punishment.
Because there were no major mistakes in strategy or tactics, Qin Shihuang’s focus was mainly on allowing the military power of Wang Jian’s 600,000 troops during the winter season to further destroy the state of Chu. This is a test of Qin. Li Xin later became a high-ranking official, and also fought against the Rongdi tribe in the Longxi area, and achieved a series of military exploits.
