Qin Shi Huang's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms was the most splendid drama in history, Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi were originally not inferior to the Qin State, and among these six kingdoms, the most powerful and difficult to break was the Chu State. The State of Qin almost collapsed in the State of Chu, and the last person to lead the Qin army to attack the State of Chu was Wang Qi, one of the four famous generals in the Warring States period.
Before attacking the State of Chu, The King of Qin was like a broken bamboo, he felt that victory was already in sight, and sooner or later the world would be his own. But he knew that chu was a hard bone, so he didn't take it lightly.
Before attacking Chu, in 224 BC, the Qin king Yingzheng summoned his ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Chu, and Li Xin, who had originally made great contributions in the battle to destroy the Yan state, was very confident, and he told Qin Shi Huang that I only needed 200,000 soldiers to take the Chu state.
Yin Zheng was a cautious person, and he turned his head to look at Wang Qi again, but Wang Qi said, "It must be six hundred thousand."
These 600,000 are all the wealth of the Qin Kingdom, what if the group is accidentally destroyed? Naturally, Yingzheng would not gamble without gambling, so Yingzheng appointed Li Xin as the general to lead 200,000 southern expeditions against Chu.
As a result, it didn't take long for the news of Li Xinbing's defeat to come, and Yin Zheng remembered Wang Qilai. However, at this time, Wang Qi asked to resign and return to his hometown of Pinyang, and Yingzheng was anxious and personally went to Pinyang to invite Wang Qi back.
Yin Zheng very bluntly told Wang Qi about the situation facing the Qin state, and asked Wang Qi in a low voice to go back and lead the troops to save the Qin state from danger. After several pushbacks, Wang Qi said, "That still requires 600,000 soldiers," and Yin Zheng promised with a full mouth: They all listen to your old.
Before the army set out, Yingzheng personally sent off Yu Bashang. At this time, Wang Qi looked thoughtfully at Yingzheng, who thought that Wang Zheng would say something touching at the time of parting, but he did not expect that Wang Qi would open his mouth to fief the land, and also wanted Yin Zheng to give more officials to his descendants, and even asked for Mei Ji for the old disrespectful Ying Zheng.
Yin Zheng was immediately confused, but then he laughed and accepted all the conditions set by Wang Qi. At this time, Wang Ben, who was on the side, was in a cold sweat, since ancient times, the companion of the king was like a companion of the tiger, and the ministers who did things around the king were all respectful and cautious, do you dare to pluck the hair on the tiger, and are not afraid of being retaliated against after the battle?
Wang Qi told his son Wang Ben, I am doing this precisely to protect your life, and also to protect the life of our whole family. When the King of Qin handed over 600,000 troops to me, he must have been worried. If I stand on my own, how will he react? When attacking Chu, if chu makes a slight counter-plan, I am afraid that you and I will be killed. Even if the battle was won, the Gong Gao Zhen Lord was only afraid that he would inevitably be suspected by the King of Qin. Therefore, it is better to tell the King of Qin directly, I only need to reward.
When Wang Qi attacked Chu, every time he captured a city, he would ask the politicians for various rewards. Therefore, many of the schemes and means used by Wang Qi in attacking Chu looked suspicious to outsiders, but Yingzheng never thought about "plotting rebellion". In the end, Wang Qi attacked the Chu state in 223 BC, eliminating a major problem in The heart of Yin Zheng.
After the victory and return to the dynasty, Wang Qi received the reward, and from then on he retired in a hurry, resigned from the post of general, and was able to die well. The "Records of History" records: "Wang's and Montessori's merits are many, and their names are given to future generations." "Wang Qi is a Qin general, Yi Liuguo, when it is, Zhai is a general, the first emperor is a master, but he cannot assist Qin Jiande, consolidate his roots, secretly cooperate and take tolerance, and even the body."
