Obtaining the title was a privilege that many people dreamed of in the feudal era, especially in the Warring States period, when the annexation war was very fierce.
However, according to past practice, those who are eligible to obtain titles, except for the relatives and foreign relatives of the monarch and the favored subjects of the monarch and the empress, can only be meritorious ministers and generals. Like Su Qin, who wears the seal of the Five Kingdoms, the invincible Qin general Bai Qi, the Strange Zhao general Li Mu, and the loyal Chu general Xiang Yan who serve the country.
Unfortunately, none of these four people ended up dying well.
However, they did have one thing in common: they had obtained the same title - Wu Anjun.
(1) Su Qin
Sima Qian clearly recorded in the "Records of History" that Su Qin became famous because he first proposed the strategic idea of "combining" the six kingdoms to resist Qin.
In fact, the combination of resistance to Qin was only a flash in the pan, and Su Qin's greatest achievement was to direct the great drama of Le Yi and Qi.
Previously, when the "Rebellion of the Sons" occurred in the State of Yan, the State of Qi sent troops to quell the rebellion, but in fact took advantage of the fire to loot and swept away all the jewels and jade that the monarchs of the Yan Kingdom had painstakingly accumulated.
In order to avenge this, the new king Yan Zhao did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit the world's talents, and Su Qin defected at this time.
Later, Su Qin took the initiative to ask to enter Qi as a spy, and successfully gained the trust of the King of Qi.
Su Qin
At that time, the situation in the Warring States was that the qin and qi powers were opposed to each other, and the wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, Lu, Song and other states in the middle were like grass on the wall.
Seeing that the State of Qin had repeatedly launched eastward invasions to invade and annex the lands of Wei, Zhao, Han, and Chu, the State of Qi also had the idea of annexing the State of Song.
Su Qin spied the thoughts of king Qi, so he tried his best to encourage king Qi to send troops to attack Song.
In order to divert the attention of the princes, Su Qin resolutely organized the Five Kingdoms to join forces to cut down Qin.
In 286 BC, the State of Qi successfully destroyed the State of Song.
For a time, the state of Qi expanded its land for more than a thousand miles and obtained a large area of fertile and rich land and cities.
Territory after the Qi dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty
The destruction of the Song dynasty by the State of Qi caused great uneasiness among the princely states, and Shi Zai said, "If there is a danger in the Yang City of Song and Wei, there is a danger in the eastern state of Huaibei and Chu, there is a danger in the east of the Zhao River in the west of Jixi, and there is a danger in the yin and pinglu, and there is a danger in the liangmen."
As a result, the princely states that had originally participated in the joint attack on Qin invariably ceased the war and sent emissaries to each other to reach an agreement on joint attack.
At this time, King Yan Zhao, who had been secretly manipulating for several years, revealed his true face, and the general he appointed, Le Yi, actually led all the armies of the Yan state to meet the alliance.
At this time, the King of Qi suddenly realized that the good of Yan Qi, which Su Qin had maintained for many years, was actually a trick to deceive his eyes, and he also threw up the State of Qi and destroyed the Song Dynasty in order to exhaust the strength of the State of Qi.
What is even more infuriating is that because of the deception of the Yan state, the state of Qi almost drew the army of the northern border defense of the state of Qi in the Battle of the Song Dynasty.
At this point, Su Qin's true face as a spy of the Yan Kingdom was completely leaked.
Enraged, King Qi executed Su Qin with the torture of chakra.
(2) White
Of the four famous generals of the Warring States, Bai Qi ranked first.
He fought for 37 years in his life, never tasted defeat, and fought in six countries that no one dared to take command and fight with.
Shi Zai, "the combination of material and enemy changes, surprisingly infinite, and the sound shocks the world."
It can be said that the reason why the Qin state was able to unify the world was extremely closely related to the outstanding military achievements achieved by Bai Qi in the past few decades.
White up like
Even though Bai Qi was undefeated in his lifetime, the 400,000 Zhao Guo descendants he killed in changping pits became the biggest stain on his life.
Of course, this victory also promoted the process of the unification of the Qin state.
However, the white qi of the Gong Gao Zhen Lord was still suspected by the King of Qin.
Subsequently, Bai Qi was repeatedly disobeyed by the Qin King's orders and was stripped of his official position, stripped of his knighthood, demoted to a soldier, and moved to another country.
In 257 BC, the King of Qin simply gave him death under the pretext of having a grudge against Bai Qi.
(3) Li Mu
Like Bai Qi, Li Mu was also a victorious general who used military machines to change into a hundred.
Relying on his reputation for defeating the Xiongnu earlier, Li Mu served as a military barrier at the end of the Zhao state.
More graphically, Li Mu was completely the firefighting captain of Zhao Guo.

In 234 BC, the Qin army launched the First Battle of Zhao.
The general Wang Qi attacked Fu He through the Shangdang Heights, and Huan Gong crossed the Zhangshui River to attack Handan.
The Zhao general Huan Was unable to stop Huan Gong, and the 100,000 Zhao army was slaughtered by the Qin army.
In order to protect Handan Zhouquan, Li Mu broke away from Wang Qi's entanglement and returned to his division to defeat Huan Gong.
As soon as Huan Gong was defeated, Wang Qi immediately withdrew.
In 232 BC, the Qin army again attacked Zhao.
This time, Wang Qi learned the lessons of the last time and led his army out of the north of Handan through Jingxing Pass.
Li Mu judged correctly, and he stationed Sima Shang as the main general at the Zhanghe River to monitor Huan Gong, and led the main force to deploy the jingjing mouth.
Wang Qi was once again blocked by Li Mu and could not enter or leave the mountain pass, so he called off his troops and returned to China.
Li Mu defeated Wang Qi twice
Qin Shi Huang attacked Zhao twice, but was blocked by Li Mu, so he spent a lot of money to alienate the Zhao king's subjects.
In 229 BC, King Youmiao of Zhao deposed Li Mu after listening to Guo Kai's rumors.
Li Mu refused to be killed, so he was arrested and killed.
(4) Xiang Yan
By 225 BC, the State of Qin had destroyed Zhao, Broken Yan, and Ping Wei, and then transferred its troops to march south to Attack Chu.
At this time, although the State of Chu had been destroyed by Bai Qi, it still had a vast territory stretching from the Huai River in the north to the Yangtze River in the south.
According to Wang Qi, it was not enough to calm him with 600,000 people.
However, Li Xin, who had pursued the Yan army very bravely, proposed that only 200,000 people would be enough.
Xiang Yan broke Li Xin
According to Li Xin's judgment, when the Qin army attacked, the Chu army would gather at Rushui to Chendi to keep the Qin army outside the gate of the country.
At that time, the Qin army will pretend to attack head-on along the two banks of the Rushui River, and encircle the left wing of the Chu army with the main force.
Who knew that Chu would make Xiang Yan more skilled, and he adopted a strategy of luring the enemy to go deeper, in addition to placing the necessary sentries on the border to inform the Qin army of its movements at any time, the main force was concentrated on random standby north of Shouchun.
It was the spring of that year, and Li Xin went deep alone without waiting for the partial division to meet.
Unexpectedly, when the Qin army crossed the river, it was suddenly surrounded by the Chu army, and the Qin army could not form a battle between the emperors.
After the fierce battle, Li Xin led the remnants out of the siege, and the Chu army followed the Qin army for three days and three nights, and Shi Zai "broke the Qin Wall and two bases, killing the seven lieutenants."
Li Xinjun was defeated miserably, and Qin Shi Huang was naturally unwilling.
In the spring of the following year, Qin Shi Huang invited the veteran general Wang Qi and ordered him to lead 600,000 troops to attack Chu.
Xiang Yan repeated the old technique, still gathering the main force to garrison the north of Shouchun.
However, the long confrontation between the two armies greatly annoyed the King of Chu. He thought that Xiang Yan was timid, so he forced him to send troops to attack the Qin army.
However, the Qin army's barrier was strong, and Xiang Yan could not break through repeatedly and had to lead the army east.
Seeing that the Chu army was exhausted, Wang Qi ordered the whole army to pursue.
Not long after, the Qin army overtook the Chu army south of the Vortex River.
After a fierce battle, the Chu army was defeated and scattered, and Xiang Yan also died in the rebellion.
