In the past feudal society, "crowning the king and knighthood" can already be regarded as the greatest glory of being a courtier, but in Chinese history, there is a title that can be said to be the most cursed, and the people who have been knighted are famous generals throughout the ages, but none of them have received a good death. The name of this title is "Wu An Jun". Regarding the origin of Wu'an Jun, it can be traced back to the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and those who have been able to defeat the enemy in the past dynasties are called "Wu'an", originally given this title, only Zhou Tianzi had the power, but in the Warring States period, the Lile collapsed, so all the princes of all countries could be given the title.
What is the concept of "Jun"? The "Ceremonial And Funeral Dress" says: "The king, the supreme also", "the son of heaven, the princes and the secretaries, and the doctors who have land are all known as kings." The Tang Dynasty Confucian scholar Jia Gongyan wrote: "If a king has land, he has a subject." From these words we can deduce that a person who can be called a king has two important conditions, the first is to have land, and the second is to belong to a vassal. Therefore, those who can be called Wu Anjun have reached the peak of their meritorious status.
Who is the first celebrity to obtain Wu Anjun, this is Su Qin who traveled through the Six Kingdoms, if it is familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, people will know the story of Su Qin's travels to the Six Kingdoms, after 350 BC, the Qin State through the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, the national strength is increasingly strengthened, gradually surpassing the other six kingdoms, and Su Qin on this basis, actively lobbying the four sides, persuading the kings of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, after gaining the appreciation of the Yan State and the Zhao State and other countries, and finally gradually merging with the alliance, and Su Qin himself served as the commander of the longitudinal.
He was also enfeoffed as Wu'an Jun, the fifth monarch of the State of Zhao, marquis zhao su, but with the change of time, the state of Qin showed a weak attitude, the six kingdoms because of the unequal strength, there was also a rift between the internal, Su Qin although serving the six kingdoms, in fact he was still loyal to the state of Yan, the state of Yan because the eastern state of Qi was gradually growing in power and felt afraid, so Su Qin took the initiative to ask for help, pretended to offend the king of Yan, went to the state of Qi, persuaded the king of Qi to build a lot of civil engineering, to destroy the strength of the state of Qi, Su Qin soon became a favored guest under the king of Qi, However, this was also jealous of the nobles of the State of Qi, and eventually Su Qin was seriously injured by many assassins sent by the nobles of the State of Qi.
When he was dying, Su Qin asked the King of Qi to "help the Yan kingdom engage in anti-inter-parliamentary activities in the state of Qi" to split his car in the city, and rewarded the assassins for the appearance of thieves, and the king of Qi agreed to this request, and the king acted accordingly and killed the murderer. However, after Su Qin's death, the King of Qi found that Su Qin had been serving in the Yan kingdom, and he was furious, but at this time, Su Qin had already been tortured and died, and the matter was put to an end.
The second person was Bai Qi, who was known as the "God of Killing", Bai Qi was not worthy of the title of the first fierce general of the Qin State, he assisted King Qin Zhao, repeatedly made battle achievements, and greatly broke the Wei and Han alliances; the Battle of Chu and the battle of Chu, captured the Chu capital Yingcheng. The Battle of Changping severely damaged the main force of the State of Zhao, and in more than 30 years as the lord of the State of Qin, Bai Qi laid down more than seventy cities, so he was awarded the title of Wu Anjun. Bai Qi's army in the Qin State also became the person with the highest military prestige, but on the side of the bed, how could others sleep soundly? After the Battle of Changping, Bai, who was ranked as the Third Duke, first had a conflict with the chancellor Fan Sui, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin began to gradually suspect him, and after the Battle of Changping, the State of Qin launched the Battle of Handan.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin originally wanted to use Bai Qi, he could not travel because of illness, and Bai Qi was not optimistic about this war, and sure enough, in the Battle of Handan, the Qin army was defeated by the Army of the State of Chu and wei that rushed to the rescue, but Bai Qi said: "When the King of Qin did not listen to my plan, what was the result?" King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who had no place to vent his temper, became even more angry when he heard this, and finally in November 257, on the grounds of "his intentions were not convinced, and there were more words", he sent emissaries to force Bai Qi to kill himself.
The third is Li Mu of the Zhao State, the main battlefield of the Warring States period, or qin and Zhao as the mainstay, so the birth of "Bai Qi, Wang Qi, Lian Po, Zhao Mu" composed of the four famous generals of the Warring States, Li Mu's career can be divided into two parts, he fought against the Xiongnu on the northern border of the Zhao State, and was later arranged to resist the Qin State, after the Battle of Changping, the strength of the Zhao State was greatly damaged, and Li Mu became the mainstay of the Zhao State, known as "Li Mu died, Zhao State died". In the Battle of Yi'an, Li Mu even more severely damaged the Qin army and obtained the title of Wu'an Jun, Li Mu's existence undoubtedly made the Qin state like a fish in the throat, in 229 BC, the King of Zhao moved to the Qin state's divisive plan, listened to rumors to seize Li Mu's military power, and brutally killed him.
During the Warring States period, the last person to be named Wu Anjun was xiang Yu's grandfather, xiang Yan, the last general of the Chu state. After the fall of the State of Zhao, the State of Chu became one of the few major countries with decent resistance to the Qin army, the Xiang Liang family had been a general of the State of Chu for generations, and Xiang Liang, who was born in a famous family, was even more brave and powerful, and at a young age, he defeated the Qin general Li Xin, invaded two camps of the Qin army, and killed seven lieutenants of the Qin army, so he also received the title of Wu Anjun. However, in 224 AD, The King of Qin, Yingzheng, drove 600,000 troops across the country to engage in a life-and-death battle with the State of Chu, and Xiang Liang was ultimately inferior to the experienced Wang Qi, and the Chu army was defeated, and Xiang Liang was forced to kill himself.
