The famous Qin general Gan Mao, who was introduced by Zhang Yili

Gan Mao (甘茂), surnamed Ji (姬), of the Gan clan (甘氏), was a native of Xia Cai (present-day Ganluo Township, Yingshang, Anhui), and a famous general of the Qin state in the middle of the Warring States period. The State of Qin left the Chancellor. He studied in Shiju and learned the sayings of the Hundred Schools, and was introduced by Zhang Yi and Li Li to King Huiwen of Qin. It was also reused during the reign of King Wu of Qin, who was destroyed by Xiang Shou and Gongsun Yi during the reign of King Zhao of Qin, and defected to the State of Qi during the attack on the State of Pusaka of Wei, where he served as a secretary of state. In the tenth year of the Zhou Dynasty (305 BC), he sent an envoy to the State of Chu. The King of Qin wanted the State of Chu to return Ganmao, but Chu refused. He died in the State of Wei.

Gan Mao was a military talent that the Qin state relied heavily on during the transitional period of the Qin state, and he was helplessly suspected by the King of Qin.

During the reign of King Wu of Qin, he did not like Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi took the opportunity to flee to the Chu State, at this time the civil officials of the Qin State had always had a disease, and the military officer was Gan Mao, who was Zuo Chengxiang at that time.

When King Qin Wu was king, there was a good legend, that is, the oath of alliance, so that king Qin Wu could trust Gan Mao unconditionally.

The King of Qin sent Gan Mao as a general and Xiang Shou as his deputy general, allied with the State of Wei to fight against Korea. Gan Mao sent a report to Shou back, saying, "The King of Wei has agreed to send troops, but I request a boycott and not to fight." The King of Qin felt incomprehensible, and personally went to see Gan Mao and asked him what kind of fame he was doing. Gan Mao said: "Yiyang is a large county, which is actually equivalent to a county. Now I have led a large army over the dangers of Hangu Pass and Kunshan Mountain, and have attacked the stronghold thousands of miles away, which cannot be taken down in one day or two days. In the meantime, if the news is cut off, it is inevitable that someone will enter me and slander you! At the beginning, Lu Guo had a person with the same name as Zeng Shan, and killed someone. Someone ran to Zeng's mother and said, "Your son has killed someone!" The great-mother was calm, never believed, and continued to weave. But when the third man ran to tell her that her son had killed someone, she also believed it, panicked, and threw down the weaving shuttle and ran over the wall. Now my virtue is not as good as Zengsan's, and your trust in me is not as good as the trust of Zengsan's mother in her son, and there are far more than three people in the DPRK who doubt me. I'm afraid you'll have to throw the shuttle when the time comes. At first, Wei Wenhou sent Le Yang to attack Zhongshan and besieged it for three years before taking it down. Happy sheep won the victory and returned to the dynasty, and they were self-satisfied. Wei Wenhou showed him a basket of music that slandered him. Le Yang bowed his head again and said, 'It is not my credit, but your merit to the king!' Now I, a foreigner who holds military power in the Qin Kingdom and has been leading his troops abroad for a long time, if Li Lizi and Gongsun Yi talk about Korea, say that I am self-respecting, and have collusion with Korea, you will definitely listen to them, call me back, and not fight." That is equivalent to I deceived the King of Wei, offended Han Xianggong Zhongnan, and did another job in vain, and the Qin State did not get any benefits. ”

King Qin said, "I understand, I absolutely trust you!" So the two of them swore an oath in the land. In the autumn of that year, Gan Mao and Shu Changfeng led the division to Cut Yiyang.

Gan Mao had been besieging Yiyang for five months, and before he could take it down, the rumors in the dprk and China began to sprang up, and the two of them, Li Lizi and Gongsun Yi, were really vying to say bad things about Gan Mao to the King of Qin. The King of Qin was not at ease in his heart, and sent someone to recall Ganmao and prepare to strike. Gan Mao only replied with one sentence: "The words of the land are still there!" The King of Qin said, "Still there!" So he sent another large army to reinforce GanMao, beheaded 60,000 people, and captured Yiyang.

After the death of King Wu of Qin, during the reign of King Zhao of Qin, Gan Mao was destroyed by Xiang Shou and Gongsun Yi, and when he attacked the State of Pusaka of Wei, he threw himself into the State of Qi and served as the Secretary of State of Qi. In the tenth year of the Zhou Dynasty (305 BC), he sent an envoy to the State of Chu. The King of Qin wanted the State of Chu to return Ganmao, but Chu refused. He died in the State of Wei.
