How high is the contribution of Wang Jian? Below is the time when the six nations were destroyed and their leading generals.
230 BC, Nei Shi Teng Mie Han,
229 BC, 王翦 Mie Zhao,
225 BC, 王贲 (王翦的Son) Miewei,
222 BC, 王翦 Miejingchu,
222 BC, 王翦灭燕,
221 BC, 王翦Qin Shihuang unified the whole country after destroying Qi.
Qin country destroyed six countries, Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben destroyed five. Especially when Chu was destroyed, King Qin first asked Li Xin how many people would be needed to destroy Chu. Li Xin wants two hundred thousand. Compared to Wang Jian, Li Xin is a younger general. In the war against Yan, he led thousands of Qingqi to the head of the Prince Dan and was trusted by King Qin. When King Qin asked Wang Jian again, the number given by Wang Jian was 600,000, which was almost the entire force of Qin. King Qin thought that Wang Jian was old and sent Li Xin to attack the Kingdom of Chu.
As a result, Li Xin is still too young. Because Changping Jun rebelled in the rear, Li Xin's back road was cut off, the Qin Army suffered a great loss, and Li Xin was defeated. King Qin could only lower his body, go to Wang Jian's hometown, apologize to Wang Jian, and ask Wang Jian to go out of the mountain and destroy Chu again.
But at this moment, the lion opened his mouth and asked King Qin for a large amount of fertile land and housing. On the way to dispatch troops, Wang Jian sent a messenger back to ask King Qin for fertile land. Wang Jian's lieutenants were all stunned, what is this operation? Wang Jian explained: King Qin was suspicious by nature. He attacked the Kingdom of Chu. Qin was all about the country. Almost all the troops were in his hands. In order to dispel King Qin's doubts, he chose to defile himself.
Ancient civil servants and military commanders who have made great achievements in ancient times, many "rabbit and dead dog cooking", most of them can use the method of "self-defilement".
In the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He, one of the three major heroes in the Han Dynasty, would almost have Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, cut down if he didn't "self-contaminate". When the Huainan Wang Yingbu rebelled, Liu Bang went to court himself. Send envoys many times to ask what Xiao He is doing? Xiao He's disciples saw the key: the emperor did not trust Xiao He. The more Xiao He was pure and self-conscious, the more the emperor worried and guarded. Xiao He suddenly realized that he immediately deceived others and conquered a lot of property. Thus, Liu Bang was relieved.
Wang Jian should be the first person to defile himself. Wang Jian’s credit is beyond reproach, but he can die well in the hands of King Qin, and his political intelligence is indeed high.
