During the Spring and Autumn Period, the masses attacked each other, and the farce of the annexation of small countries by large countries was constantly staged. By the time of the Warring States period, the eight hundred princes personally divided by King Wu of Zhou were left with only the seven kingdoms of Chu, Qi, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Han, and Wei, standing on the land of Shenzhou. In the late Warring States period, the changed Qin state became the strongest princely state in the world, and the Yan state gradually became the weakest of the Seven Kingdoms.
When The Qin Emperor Yingzheng inherited the throne, he began to sweep away the grand blueprint of the Six Kingdoms to unify the world. Although the strength of the Yan state was relatively weak, Prince Dan made a final struggle, and "Jing Ke Thorn Qin" became an immortal good story in history. At that time, the Yan warrior Tian Guang played a very important role in the whole incident, but when you look for Tian Guang's heroic deeds, you will find that this Yan warrior did not have a separate biography, and the records about him can only be seen from the combined biographies or deeds of others, and it is still his activities in his old age. However, both the "Records of History" and the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" have a four-word evaluation of Tian Guang, "wisdom and courage are sufficient", which means "wisdom and courage are complete".
According to the Chronicle of the Assassins, Jing Ke's friend Tian Guang was "wise and courageous", but when Prince Dan discovered this warrior, it was too late, and At this time, Tian Guang's hair was gray and his back was hunched. According to historical records, in 228 BC, the State of Qin destroyed the State of Zhao, and placed hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers on the edge of yishui on the border of the State of Yan, with the potential to cross the Water of Yishui at any time to attack the State of Yan. Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom was concerned about the fate of the country, so he was very worried. Doctor Ju Wu recommended the warrior Tian Guang to Yan Dan, and Tian Guang was treated and valued by Prince Dan.
Both the "Records of History" and the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" have descriptions of Prince Dan treating Tian Guang with great courtesy: instead of sitting in the same car, personally going out of the palace to greet him, he got out of the car and waited, and he knelt down to pay homage to him... Prince Dan was a virtuous ruler of the corporals, who would be reused whenever he saw a talented warrior or a wise man, and would also treat him with courtesy. Tian Guang was able to receive such a heavy courtesy from Prince Dan, and it was not difficult to imagine how strong his ability was. In the "Chronicle of History", it was said that Tian Guangzhi was brave and prepared, and he was also compared to a good Maxima when he was young. It can be seen that Tian Guang, who has wisdom and courage, is really a rare talent.
So what kind of person was Tian Guang when he was young, and why didn't anyone ask about it? Let's look first at the age of Shimoda Hikari, prince Dan reused him in 228 BC, and Tian Guang was already white and hunchbacked. The physical quality of the warrior is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary people, so the age of the aging warrior Tian Guang should be over 65 years old. Tian Guang, who was at his peak, should be between 25 and 45 years old, that is to say, Tian Guang's bravest time was between 268 BC and 248 BC.
From 268 BC to 248 BC, the Yan state during this period began to decline. After the Battle of Changping, zhao guoyuan was seriously injured, in 251 BC, the yan king Xi sent li belly to lead 600,000 troops to attack the zhao state to try to pick up some cheap, the result was to steal chickens and not to eat rice, the Yan army was killed by Zhao Guolian, the capital of the Yan state was also surrounded, and later it was difficult to return to normal. It can be seen that when Tian Guang was young, he basically lived in the Yan kingdom where the monarch was faint and the political situation was unstable. Tian Guang, who has courage and wisdom, will certainly not assist the faint ruler, so among the hermits, he became a ranger who defended the grievances of the common people, and used his wisdom and courage to eliminate violence and peace for the people, and the history books called him "Yi Zhidong Contemptuous People", which probably refers to the above speculation.
Tian Guang, who has courage and wisdom and has a very good character, naturally became a hero of the Yan people, and his fame naturally spread throughout the Yan country. Those nobles with problematic character must have hated such a chivalrous guest, so they deliberately ignored his existence, and only a person with lofty ideals like Ju Wu would make friends with Tian Guang, who must be Tian Guang's confidant, which is why Ju Wu recommended Tian Guang to Prince Dan. Tian Guang is not only brave and wise, but also knowledgeable, which can be seen from the fact that he will meet. He once said to Prince Dan: "Your warrior Xia Fuyong is in blood, and his face is red when he is angry; Song Yiyong is in the pulse, and his face is blue when he is angry; Qin Wuyang Yong is in his bones, and his face is white when he is angry." Later, Qin Wuyang was really scared to see Qin Shi Huang's face turn white. If Qin Wuyang had been able to calm down at that time, he would have entered the Great Hall and Attacked Yingzheng with Jing Ke, perhaps the result would have been different.
After Tian Guang was discovered by Prince Dan, he was already over 65 years old, and he did not have the courage of his youth, so it was difficult to come in handy. Fortunately, he also had a good friend Jing Ke, who finally recommended it to Prince Dan, which almost changed the history of the entire Warring States period. When Tian Guang went to ask Jing Ke, before leaving, Prince Dan told him not to leak this plan. In order to motivate Jing Ke, Tian Guang drew his sword and killed himself. According to another ancient book, "Yan Danzi", Tian Guang committed suicide after being treated favorably by Prince Dan after only 3 months. Tian Guang was a tragic warrior of the Yan Kingdom, and although zhi yong was complete, he was left unattended for decades, and committed suicide only three months after being reused.
