According to the "Chronicle of The Chronicle of Bai qi Wang Qi Lie", when the world was full of anti-Qin smoke, Qin II sent Wang Qi's grandson Wang Qi to attack the Zhao state and besiege Zhao Xie and Zhang Er in Julu City. At that time, someone said: "Wang Li was a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. Now he led a powerful Qin army to attack the newly established Zhao state, and victory was inevitable. One passerby said, "Not so. The family of generals is bound to fail in the third generation. What is the reason for saying that he is bound to fail? It must be that his family has killed too many people, and the descendants of his family will be punished by evil. Now Wang Li is a third-generation general. Soon after, Xiang Yu rescued the Zhao state, attacked the Qin army, and sure enough, Wang Li captured Wang Li, and Wang Li's army surrendered to the princes' army.

This passage says that when the general family is still a general in the third generation, the war will definitely fail. The reason is that killing people is punishable. In fact, the reason may also be that the wealth and qi on the body are too heavy, and it is too far away from the way of the general. Wang Li was like this, and the same was true of the three generations of Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers.

According to the "History of Meng Tian Lie", Meng Tian and Meng Yi are brothers. They are three generations of the generals.

Their ancestors were qi people, their grandfather Meng Xiao, from the state of Qi to the state of Qin to serve The King of Qin Zhao, the first year of the Xiang King of Qin Zhuang, Meng Xiao served as a general of the State of Qin, attacked Korea, occupied Chenggao, Xingyang, and set up Sanchuan County. In the second year of King Zhuangxiang's reign, Meng Xiao attacked the State of Zhao and captured thirty-seven cities. In the third year of Qin Shi Huang, Meng Xiao attacked Korea and captured thirteen cities. In the fifth year of the First Emperor, Meng Xiao attacked the State of Wei, captured twenty cities, and set up Dong Commandery. In the seventh year of the First Emperor, Meng Xiao died.

Meng Xiao's son was named Meng Wu, and Meng Wu once attacked the Chu state with Wang Qi, defeated the Chu army, and killed Xiang Yan. Twenty-four years after the First Emperor, Mengwu attacked the State of Chu again and captured the King of Chu.

In the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang, Meng Tian, as a general of the Qin state, led an army to attack the state of Qi and defeated the Qi army. After the State of Qin annexed the world, it sent Meng Tian to lead a huge army of 300,000 people to expel Rong Di to the north and recover the land south of the Yellow River. The Great Wall was built, taking advantage of the geographical situation, setting up fortresses, from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east, stretching for more than 10,000 miles. So it crossed the Yellow River, occupied Yangshan, and zigzagged and extended northward. Scorching sun and frost, wind and rain, outside for more than ten years, stationed in Shangxian County. At this time, the sound of The Silence shook the Xiongnu.

Qin Shi Huang especially respected and admired the Montessori, trusting and appreciating their talents. Meng Yiguan is the supreme secretary. He was the first favorite of Qin Shi Huang. When he went out, he accompanied the First Emperor in a car, and when he returned to the imperial court, he served in front of Qin Shi Huang. Meng Tian commanded a heavy army outside, and the ministers and generals of the entire Qin State did not dare to compete with them for favors.

As the most favored general and minister of Qin Shi Huang, the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi can be said to bear the heaviest responsibility of the Qin State. However, the coping strategies shown by the brothers at the extreme moment when Qin Shi Huang died and the Qin state changed the world and changed the earth were astonishing.

When Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai forged an edict given to Fu Su by Qin Shi Huang, causing him and Meng Tian to commit suicide together and hand over the army to the deputy general Wang Li, Fu Su immediately began to cry, and then without saying a word, he entered the inner chamber and committed suicide. Meng Tian advised him: "The emperor is outside, he has not made a prince, he sent me to lead 300,000 troops to guard the frontier, and let you serve as a supervisor, this is the heavy responsibility of the world." Now that only one messenger has come, and you have committed suicide at once, how can you know that there is no falsehood in it? I hope you ask for more instructions, and it is not too late to die after you have an answer. Kefu Su said, "The father ordered his son to die, what else do you want to show!" "Kill yourself immediately." When the emissary went back to report, Hu Hai, Li Si, and Zhao Gao were all very happy.

Fu Su's hasty suicide certainly exposed Fu Su's weakness and willfulness. However, as a great general entrusted by Qin Shi Huang with a great responsibility, Meng Tian should of course have more plans and countermeasures, rather than simply persuading two sentences, and then allowing Fu Su to commit suicide. Then I just froze and waited to die.

If Meng Tian had foreseen it a little, of course he should have realized the mystery behind the sudden edict, and of course he should have immediately taken care of Fu Su from the point of being responsible for the country and the king, immediately raised the alert level of the army, and immediately returned to Qin Shi Huang to explore the truth. With such a disposition, things may take a new turn for the better. After all, if Fu Su did not die, with Fu Su's prestige and legitimacy, and resisted the false edict, Zhao Gao's plot could not succeed.

But Monty did nothing. After Fu Su's death, Meng Tian was imprisoned in Yang zhou. Qin II sent emissaries to order him to commit suicide. Meng Tian said: "From my ancestors to future generations, it has been three generations since I accumulated great merits and established prestige for the Qin kingdom. Now I have more than 300,000 troops, even if I am imprisoned, but my power is enough to rebel. However, I knew that I would undoubtedly die, but I insisted on righteousness, and I did not dare to insult the teachings of my ancestors and to forget the grace of my ancestors. He also said, "What crime have I committed against Heaven that I was put to death without fault?" After a long time, he slowly said, "My sin should have been a capital offense." From Lintao to Liaodong, building the Great Wall and digging trenches for more than 10,000 miles, can there be no place in the middle of the earth vein? That's my sin. So he swallowed the poison and committed suicide. It's ridiculous to say that, what's the use?

Let's talk about Meng Tianna's younger brother Meng Yi, who is inseparable from Qin Shi Huang. At the moment when Qin Shi Huang was critically ill, he was ordered to go to the famous mountain Dachuan to pray for Qin Shi Huang. He knew best about the seriousness of Qin Shi Huang's illness, and he knew best whether Qin Shi Huang wanted Hu Hai to succeed to the throne or Fu Su to succeed to the throne. He also knew that he had a vendetta against Hu Hai's teacher, Zhao Gao. But the first favorite of Qin Shi Huang's side went on the road without any plan or arrangement. By the time he returned, Zhao Gao had completed all the procedures for the new emperor to ascend to the throne. Meng Yi was directly imprisoned in Dai County.

If Meng Yi was a wise general and a wise minister, then the successor determined by Qin Shi Huang was Fu Su, and Meng Yi should have a careful plan to ensure that Fu Su could get the throne. Qin Shi Huang's chosen successor was Hu Hai, and Meng Yi should have a careful plan to ensure that he would have a close relationship with Hu Hai before Qin Shi Huang's death. However, Meng Yi, like his brother, just waited for Zhao Gao to calmly detain them one by one.

Like Meng Tian, Meng Yi also had a word of mourning and resentment before dying. He said to the emissaries sent by Hu Hai to accuse him of obstructing Qin Shi Huang from making Hu Hai the crown prince: "If I think that I cannot win the will of the ancestor lord, then when I was young as an official and a eunuch, I can be favored by my will, until the death of the first lord immortal, it can be said that I can conform to the will of the first lord." If I think that I don't understand the talent of the prince, then only the prince can accompany the lord and travel the world, compared with other princes, the difference is too far, I still have any doubts. The use of the prince by the lord is a deep consideration for many years, what other words do I dare to advise, and what strategy do I dare to plan! It was not my excuse to escape the death penalty, but only to implicate and humiliate the honor of the ancestors, and I hoped that the doctor would seriously consider this and let me die from the crime i deserved. ”

But as effective as Meng Tian's words had no effect, Meng Yi's appeal still did not delay his fate of being killed.

Looking back at the configuration of the Mongol Huns— the 300,000 most powerful army; more than a decade. Looking at the achievements that are completely worthless, we cannot but express doubts about the fame and ability of General Meng Tian. The Qin army, which brought 300,000 at the peak of its combat strength, spent more than ten years without attacking the city and plundering the land, without killing the army and killing the general. Only some static defense infrastructure was done. The project of the Great Wall was done by migrant workers recruited from all over the country, and the 300,000 troops were used to drive out the Xiongnu, prevent the Xiongnu from harassing, and manage the migrant workers. This cost is not too high.

The more than ten years that Meng Tian shocked the Xiongnu were during the reign of Mu Dundan Yu's father. Judging from the "Chronicle of the Xiongnu", Shan Yu's life was very comfortable, and the development of the Xiongnu was very smooth. It was a state of peace with the Qin Army. At about the same time that Meng Tian was killed, Mo Dun Shan Yu killed his father and became the new Shan Yu. Subsequently, the Xiongnu ushered in the most powerful period in history, which caused considerable trouble to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu for many years with the strength of the whole country, and the results of the siege and plunder of the land were fruitful. But until the last year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were able to inflict 100,000 casualties on the Han army at one time.

Tai Shi Gong said in the "Biography of Meng Tian Lie": When the Qin state had just destroyed other princes, the people's hearts in the world had not yet been stabilized, and the wounds had not yet healed, and Meng Tian, as a famous general, did not do his best to advise at this time, to rescue the people's emergencies, to provide for the elderly, to raise orphans, and to devote themselves to the work of settling the people's lives, but instead catered to the wishes of the first emperor and built the Great Wall on a large scale, and it was not only natural that their brothers were killed? Where is the sin of digging up the veins of the earth?

Tai Shi Gong accused Meng Tian from the perspective of benevolence and righteousness. I am dissecting the Montessori brothers in terms of their battle achievements and the way of the generals. No matter how you look at it, these two brothers are famous and difficult to match.
