Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, why did he fail so closely? Jing Ke's words before his death told the truth!
The wind is cold and the water is cold, and the hero will not return once he is gone. The story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin has been passed down through the ages, and the allusion to the poor dagger is even more thrilling. As a generation of righteous soldiers, the image of Jing Ke has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and future generations are full of praise for Jing Ke's courage and pride.
However, jing ke was already close to the king of Qin at that time, but why did he still fail to do so, not only failed to assassinate the king of Qin, but instead spilled blood on the spot. Is it because the King of Qin is too powerful, or is it because there is another reason?
Jing Ke was originally a Wei guo, and after the fall of the Wei country, Jing Ke traveled all over the world, and finally became good friends with Tian Guang and Gao Guang, who was good at music. At that time, the general of the Qin state, Wang Qizheng, led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Zhao state. The Qin army was directly approaching the border area of the Yan kingdom, and the people of the Yan state were panicked, and the Yan prince Dan did not want to sit still, so he went to Ask Tian Guang for advice on how to crack it. So Tian Guang introduced Jing Ke to Prince Dan and offered Jing Ke to stab the King of Qin.
Jing Ke understood the great righteousness and immediately agreed to Prince Dan's request. However, after a long time, Jing Ke did not move, at this time the Qin army broke the Zhao army, and zhao Guo was in danger. Prince Dan heard the news like a needle felt, and he was afraid that he could not live forever, so he urged Jing Ke to leave quickly.
Jing Ke was embarrassed and said, "If I don't have faith in this trip, I am afraid that I will not be able to get close to the King of Qin." He proposed that the State of Qin was capturing the great general Fan Yuqi at this time, and if the head of General Fan Yuqi and the map of the State of Yan could be presented to the King of Qin together, there would be a chance. However, Prince Dan was very agreeable, but he was also very embarrassed, because he could not bear to kill Fan Yuqi.
In the end, Jing Ke found Fan Yu and told him about his plan, and Fan Yu knew the righteousness and killed himself. In addition, Jing Ke also specially purchased a sharp dagger, hid the dagger in the map, and painstakingly found a young warrior Qin Wuyang as a deputy, which can be described as everything, everything was meticulous and meticulous, and there was no mistake.
However, after painstakingly finally succeeding in approaching the King of Qin, in the face of the King of Qin who was close at hand, Jing Ke, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was lost, which surprised people... It is reasonable to say that this kind of mistake should not occur, and the success rate of the assassination can be said to be as high as 90%.
First, the distance between Jing Ke and the King of Qin is not exaggerated at all, and it is simply easy for Jing Ke to kill a person at such a distance as a generation of masters. Second, Jing Ke had already entered the great hall of the King of Qin, and according to the laws of the Qin State, ministers could not bring weapons in the great hall, and the guards were all in his highness, and they were not allowed to enter without summons. During the whole process, the King of Qin had been completely frightened and stupid, completely forgetting to shout at the Guards, and with Jing Ke's strength, he could completely kill the King of Qin. Third, the King of Qin saw the dagger and drew his sword in a hurry, but the sword was not pulled out, which gave Jing Ke another chance.
Three excellent opportunities in a row, with Jing Ke's strength, should not be unable to kill the King of Qin, but he still did not seize the opportunity, why in the end? Let's move on.
When the King of Qin discovered Jing Ke's intentions, he was so frightened that he tried to break free of the sleeve that Jing Ke had grabbed and wanted to pull out his sword. However, because the sword was too long, and his heart was panicked, he couldn't pull it out for a while. Jing Ke chased after him, and the King of Qin was so frightened that he quickly ran, all the way around the pillars of the great hall, dodging.
The ministers below were so frightened that they were completely out of their minds, and the samurai outside did not hear the summons and did not come in. Just when Jing Ke was about to pounce in front of the Qin King, someone suddenly shouted to remind the Qin King to push the sword scabbard onto his back so that he could pull the sword out from behind. The King of Qin did so in a hurry, only to listen to the smooth pulling out of his sword and slashing at Jing Ke, who pounced on him. Jing Ke was caught off guard, and his right leg was directly cut off.
Jing Ke fell to the ground, seeing that the general trend had gone, he helplessly made a final blow, throwing the dagger at the King of Qin, but did not hit the King of Qin. The King of Qin was enraged, swinging his sword indiscriminately, and Jing Ke was seriously injured, leaning on the pillar and scolding: "The reason why things did not work is because I wanted to catch you alive..."
Before dying, Jing Ke's words finally revealed the truth about the failure to assassinate the King of Qin: because he wanted to capture the King of Qin alive.
Jing Ke's idea was simply stupid, not only stupid but also very naïve. It can be speculated why Jing Ke wanted to capture the King of Qin alive, but he wanted to blackmail the King of Qin into ordering the retreat of the army and returning the encroached land. The King of Qin is He Xuren, and The Emperor Xiong is also. Even if it was promised to retire or return the land at that time, it would certainly be recalcitrant afterwards and would not fulfill the promise.
Therefore, Jing Ke's idea was not only stupid but also naïve, which directly led to the great opportunity being wasted, and the King of Qin also escaped the disaster. In fact, Jing Ke has reached this step and there is no way back, whether it is a failure of assassination or a success, he will have to die, in this desperate situation, he does not think about fighting a blow, and such a stupid and naïve idea, it is simply sighing!
