Qin general Li Xin and Han general Li Guang are grandparents. Comparing the fate of Li Xin and Li Guang, you know how open-minded Qin Shihuang is and how lucky it is to be Qin Shihuang's general.
Li Xin was born at the end of the Warring States Period. He was a native of Qin. Because he was very brave when he was young, he was trusted by Qin Shihuang Yingzheng and became one of the youngest generals in Qin.
At the end of the Warring States period, Qin was the dominant family, and his ambition to unify the six kingdoms was also inflated. At the time of such employment, a large number of outstanding generals emerged in Qin, and Li Xin was one of them. However, compared with the contemporary Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son, they are still slightly inferior, so Li Xin's reputation has been concealed by Wang Jian. Wang Jian became one of the four famous generals, and Li Xin remained unknown in the end.
Li Xin came to the fore when the Qin attacked Zhao. General Wang Jian led the main forces to attack Zhang and Ye, while Li Xin led the troops to attack Taiyuan and Yunzhong as a flanker. At this time, the State of Zhao, having experienced the previous defeat in the Battle of Changping, quickly fell to the ground under Qin's attack. After that was a familiar scene: "Qin Jiang Wang Jian breaks Zhao and advances to the north." Qin's soldiers pointed directly at the country of Yan. Yan Taizi Dan was very frightened and sent the assassin Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin. Unfortunately, he failed in the end.
King Qin was furious and launched a war of annihilation against Yan. At this time, Li Xin did the most comfortable thing for the King of Qin: "With thousands of soldiers to fight the prince's pill in Yanshui, the pill broke the pill. "He won the great trust of Qin Wangzheng through this incident. "The first emperor thought it was wise and brave."
The Qin State swept across the six countries, like a broken bamboo, and successively destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei. Defeat Chu Jun several times. After Yan Wangxi flees and is destroyed, Qin Wangzheng intends to attack the Kingdom of Chu and complete the unification hegemony. Qin Wangzheng knew that Li Xin was very brave and decisive, so he asked Li Xin one day: "I plan to attack Chu Kingdom. The general estimates how many sergeants need to be called?" Li Xin replied, "No more than 200,000 soldiers." Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian again, and Wang Jian replied: "It must be 600,000 people." Ying Zheng said, "Old General Wang! How timid! General Li is really bold and decisive, and Li Xin's words are right." Li Xin and Meng Tian led an army of 200,000 to advance south to attack the Kingdom of Chu. Because Qin Shihuang did not accept his opinions, Wang Jian dodged his illness and returned to his hometown of Pinyang to provide for the elderly.
In the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng (225 years ago), Li Xin led his army to attack Pingyu (now Henan Pingyu North), Meng Tian led his army to attack Sleep Hill (now Anhui Linquan), Defeat the Chu army. Li Xin then took advantage of the victory to conquer Yanying, and then led his troops to march westward to join forces with Meng Tian in Chengfu (now north of Pingdingshan City, Henan). At that time, the general of the Chu State, Xiang Yan, led the Chu army to accumulate strength, followed and pursued Li Xin’s army. He did not stop for three consecutive days and three nights. As a result, he defeated Li Xin’s army and broke into two military camps, killing seven captains, Li Xinjun Fleeing in defeat.
Zhuge Liang's beheading of horses with tears is a well-known story, so I won't say more. Qin Shihuang wanted to kill Li Xin for a hundred times more than Zhuge Liang's reason than Han Wudi.
However, Qin Shihuang did not do this. Instead, he personally confessed his mistake to Wang Jian, dispatched 600,000 troops according to the old general's request, and ordered Wang Jian as a general to attack Chu again. Regarding Li Xin, Qin Shihuang did not slap to death, but admitted that he made a mistake in his decision-making and improper use of people. In the subsequent battle against Qi, Li Xin was re-established as a general, giving him a chance to reshape his fame.
