The Battle of the Six Kingdoms was not only the last war of annexation of princes at the end of the Warring States period, but also the earliest feudal unification war in Chinese history. In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin became increasingly powerful among the Seven Heroes. Under the leadership of The King of Qin, from 230 BC to 221 BC, the State of Qin spent ten years to destroy the Six Kingdoms one after another, ending the war and chaos that had lasted for more than 500 years since the Spring and Autumn Warring States. It also established the first unified monarchy in Chinese history. The Prince of Qin changed his title to Emperor, that is, the famous Qin Shi Huang.
A new page has since opened in China's history. In 221 BC, Qin swept away the Six Kingdoms, unified the world, and Ascended to the Emperor's throne. What about the princes of the Six Kingdoms who were wiped out? What happened to their national army? First, let's talk about South Korea. The State of Qin first attacked Korea, the weakest of the Three Jin Dynasties. Han Wang An saw that the situation was not good, and immediately sacrificed Nanyang to seek peace. In 230 BC, the State of Qin sent an army of 100,000 to attack Korea, and with little resistance along the way, the Qin army captured Han Wang An and imprisoned him in Chen County. Four years later, South Korea will launch a rebellion to destroy Qin in Korea.
The King of Qin was furious and put down the rebellion and beheaded King An of Han. The demise of Korea marked the beginning of the largest war of annihilation since the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. The second is Zhao Guo. In 228 BC, when the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao on a large scale, the State of Zhao was in the midst of a famine. King Qian of Zhao sent his generals Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead an army to defend against the Qin army. The Qin general Wang Qi (王翦) used a counter-tactic, having King Zhao kill Li Mi, and Li Mu deposing Sima Shang, causing the army to be distracted. The Qin army took the opportunity to capture Zhao Wangqian and exiled him to a deep mountain in Fangling, where he was starved to death. The third is the State of Wei. The State of Wei and the State of Qin can be described as old enemies, and the State of Wei has been hanged and beaten by the State of Qin many times. In 225 BC, the State of Qin launched a major attack on the State of Wei and besieged the capital of the State of Wei, Daliang. King Jia of Wei swore an ominous death and insisted on leading troops to resist the Qin army. Therefore, in order to attack the capital of the State of Wei as soon as possible, the State of Qin flooded the capital of the State of Wei by diverting the water of the Yellow River, and King Jia of Wei had no choice but to surrender. Whether he was killed or not is not recorded in the history books, it is estimated that he was killed. Since then, the Three Jin Dynasties have all been destroyed by the Qin army. The fourth is the Chu state. The State of Chu was the hardest bone to gnaw on among the Six Kingdoms. The State of Qin sent an army of 600,000 to the State of Chu. The Chu state army was defeated and captured, and was reduced to a commoner. The Chu general Xiang Yan and others supported Li Changping as king and fought against the Qin army in Huainan. In the end, the Chu state was defeated and Xiang Yan committed suicide. The fifth is the Yan Kingdom. After the fall of the Zhao state, Dan, the crown prince of the State of Yan, commanded him
"Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin", did not expect to fail. The King of Qin was furious and sent a large army to attack the Yan state. In order to protect the Yan kingdom from being destroyed, the King of Yan provoked him to sacrifice the head of Prince Dan to ask for peace with the Qin state. Six years later, after destroying the State of Chu, the State of Qin immediately sent troops to attack the State of Yan, and King Xi of Yan was captured alive by the Qin army, and later the King of Yan was also missing. The last one is the State of Qi. When the other five kingdoms were attacked, the King of Qi ignored the military reports from other countries for help, in order to make peace with the King of Qin. After the fall of the Yan state, the Qin army attacked south, that is, the king of Qi surrendered without a fight. Subsequently, King Qi was exiled to his land by the King of Qin, without giving food, resulting in starvation alive. Some of the kings of the six kingdoms were killed, some were starved to death, and some were lost. It all varies from person to person. The monarchs of weak countries such as Korea and Wei were killed. And the great powers such as the Zhao and Qi states did not dare to kill them directly, but starved them to death through exile. In short, their fate is very tragic, after all, they are the kings of the country, and death is a certain thing.
