Wang Jian: Qin Shihuang destroyed the first hero of the Six Nations, the only general among the four great generals in the Warring States period who was able to end well

In the ancient imperial power society, the most feared thing of the courtiers is to gain the master. For example, , , , , Li Mu, , Lianpo, etc. have made great achievements. They had won the battle, but they also caused the monarch’s suspicion. They ended up very miserable. They were either given to death or exiled to a foreign country. Then helped Qin Shihuang calm down the six kingdoms’ greatest hero Wang Jian, why can they become the four big names of _ What about the only general who died well in span2span?

Laocheng is prudent, not greedy for power

In 223 BC, Qin king After Ying Zheng successively attacked South Korea, Zhao and other small countries, Qin finally made up his mind to eradicate small countries such as South Korea and Zhao. The strong enemy Chu State, but Chu is still armed with a vast territory and rich resources. Its national strength is by no means comparable to that of small nations such as Han and Zhao. To attack such an enemy, you must be fully prepared. .

At that time, because Qin had conquered many small countries one after another, the young and strong generals who were eager to make achievements were all excited when they heard the news that King Qin wanted to attack Chu, and only on the battlefield can they get that dreamy dream Military merits. Ying Zheng asked the thriving young general Li Xin, how many troops would be sent to attack Chu to win. Although Li Xin is capable, he also underestimated the strength of Chu and said to Ying Zheng 20 Wan Dajun was enough to destroy the Kingdom of Chu.

After Ying Zheng listened to Li Xin’s statement,He was also very excited, but he still had some doubts about the 200,000 army capable of destroying the Kingdom of Chu, so he decided to consult the veteran Wang Jian. Wang Jian is known as the existence of "the country-destroying madman". He is naturally very experienced in this kind of thing. After careful and full consideration, Wang Jian believes that although the strength of Chu State has declined to a certain extent, it is "thin and thin." Camels are bigger than horses." If you want to attack such a powerful country, you must go all out. Therefore, it is necessary to dispatch an army of 600,000.

Wang Jian’s statement made Ying Zheng scorn, and even young generals like Li Xin dare to beat the chest to ensure that the 200,000 army is enough to destroy the state of Chu. Unexpectedly, the battle-tested veteran is not as courageous as a junior. So Ying Zheng ordered Li Xin and Mengwu as commanders to lead a 200,000 army against Chu. At this time, Wang Jian was free, and he took this opportunity to write a letter requesting retirement, and went to take care of his life.

Knows how to "self-contaminate" and eliminate the suspicion of the monarch

Facts have proved that Li Xin is still too despised of Chu, and it didn't take long for Li Xin to be beaten by the main force of Chu and returned. Qin Wang Yingzheng was furious after receiving the report of Li Xin's defeat. At the same time, he regretted not listening to Wang Jian's suggestion. In desperation, Yingzheng had to go personally to ask Wang Jian to go out of the mountain and re-command Da Qin Xiongbing.

Wang Jian only gave a slight excuse and agreed. He knew that he had to "step down" the monarch, otherwise he might be liquidated. Bai Qi's end is a living example. Back then, King Qin condescended to invite Bai Qi, but Bai Qi actually resisted his orders, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of King Qin at that time, and was finally eliminated. Wang Jian knew Yingzheng's temper very well, so he didn't dare to refuse, but he also discussed with Yingzheng that he would take 600,000 Qin army sharp soldiers to the country of Chu.

Before the expedition, Wang Jian also performed an incomprehensible operation, which was to ask Yingzheng for various rewards.This is not a big deal. What is even more amazing is that every time Wang Jian wins a little on the front line, he will write a letter to Yingzheng for a reward. Many people don't understand Wang Jian's behavior. Wang Jian explained that he did so to "self-defile" and to show Yingzheng that he only wants to be prosperous and wealthy, and has no ambitions.

At that time, the power of the entire nation of Qin was able to gather these 600,000 troops. It can be said that these great Qin elites are the confidence of the State of Qin. Once Wang Jian has any intention of disobedience, Ying Zheng has no way to deal with it, so Ying Zheng dare to fight. So many officers and soldiers handed over to Wang Jian is enough to prove his great courage. Whether trust or courage, Ying Zheng could not be completely at ease with Wang Jian, and Wang Jian's method of asking for rewards to calm Ying Zheng's heart was indeed miraculous, and finally he was able to lead his army to pacify Chu.

was able to die well, the kings, fathers and sons are all famous

After the defeat of Chu, Wang Jian pursued the victory and attacked the land of and Baiyue. After the class teacher returned to the imperial court, Wang Jian was very worried that his high merits would cause the master to defeat the government. Because of his suspicion, he submitted his resignation to Yingzheng, requesting that he return home. However, the reason why Ying Zheng was able to become a generation of emperors later on was naturally not so narrow-minded. He never killed heroes indiscriminately. After learning about Wang Jian’s thoughts, Ying Zheng comforted Wang Jian and said: You are a great hero of Qin. I won't be jealous of you. Finally, Wang Jian was able to die well.

In fact, all the kings are famous generals. Except for Wang Jian, Wang Ben and Wangli are the most outstanding generals of the Qin Dynasty, and his son is the most outstanding general in the defeat of the three kingdoms. Then annihilated the two countries. Then the question is coming, Wang Jian and his sons have made such a feat, what should Yingzheng reward them? There is no good end to meritorious deeds, Wang Jian and his son naturally know this truth, so the "retirement" and "self-defilement" methods adopted by Wang Jian are all to eliminate credit.Leave a way to survive for future generations.

Wang Jian is better than the other four big names in terms of merit and wisdom. Other generals only know how to conduct military affairs and do not know how to behave. Therefore, they will be liquidated. The reputation is as great as Bai Qi, and Lian Po cannot escape this fate. . Wang Jian escaped the monarch’s suspicion by self-contaminated strategy, and it was a wise move to successfully save his family’s life. His case also provided ideas for many celebrities later to avoid the high-definition masters who followed Wang Jian’s self-defilement to protect themselves and their lives. Family life.
