Han An, the king of Han, turned pale, thought about it for a long time, and finally relentless, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." The old general will fight as hard as he can. ”

South Korean veteran Shin Ran said goodbye again and again and left in tears.

Han General Shen Qian gathered 50,000 new and veteran soldiers with all his might, and once again marched into the old camp on the south bank of Weishui to guard against the attack of the Qin army.

Twenty miles outside Xinzheng City, the Qin army camp.

Qin general Han Teng heard that the Korean veteran Shen Qian led 50,000 old and weak troops to build a barracks, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The general trend dictates, and the courage of non-puppets can be reversed." Qin General Han Teng sighed for a while, and then ordered, "The herald orders the whole army to be deployed, and General Ben will spend the night in Xinzheng tonight." ”

Before the Korean barrier was repaired, the 30,000 infantry troops of the Qin army overwhelmed the sea amid the sound of trumpets that resounded throughout the field. The long arrows sent out by the rows of strong crossbows poured down like a storm.

The Han army was still dodging in a panic in the trench, and the Qin army's trench cars rumbled on top of their heads, and the sword, shield, and spear phalanx immediately pressed against Hesse. The pace of the Qin army was like a burst of heavy thunder, three steps and one shout, and the sound of killing was like a mountain and a tsunami. The Qin army's fierce murderous spirit caused the Korean army to collapse on all fronts before they could jump out of the trench and set up the formation. South Korean veteran Shin Rin was also killed in the chaos.

The Qin army's countless trench trucks were paved into the river in rows, and three wide and strong pontoon bridges were erected in Weishui in an hour. All kinds of large-scale siege equipment rumbled over, and it could be spread out under Xinzheng City, and the infantry horse team roared over, and surrounded the four gates of Xinzheng in half a day.

After a poignant horn, Qin general Han Teng personally went out and shouted to the defenders of the arrow tower: "The general of the city head immediately reported to King Han: within half an hour, if King Han surrenders, everyone in Xinzheng can be saved!" If the king of Han does not surrender, the Qin army will immediately attack the city! At that time, the jade was burned, and King Han took the blame! ”

In the main hall of King Han's Palace, King Han An had already heard the shouts of killing outside the city.

A palace guard ran in in a panic and reported: Oh no! South Korean veteran Shin Rin died in the chaos of the army.

Pingshan Marquis Han Chuang took the opportunity to slander again: "King, the matter has come to this, it is better to return to Daqin." In this way, both the royal and royal temples can be preserved. ”

Han An, the king of Han, was very sad: "After the widow died, he had no face to go to see his ancestors and ancestors!" ”

At this time, another palace guard came to report: "Qin general Han Teng declared: Within half an hour, if King Han surrenders, he can protect the lives of everyone in Xinzheng!" If the king of Han does not surrender, the Qin army will immediately attack the city, and the jade will be burned at that time! ”

Pingshan Hou Han Chuang hurriedly added another fire: "King, you can't wait any longer!" Quickly return to Great Qin! ”

Han An, the king of Han, was also so frightened that he forgot to cry at this time: "The widow is willing to submit to Daqin!"

Just when the Qin general Han Teng's siege order flag was raised high and was about to be split, a white flag was raised at the head of the city, and the south gate of Xinzheng was rumbled open.

Han An, the king of Han, went out of the city in a car, stood under the umbrella cover and held a copper seal, and walked down helplessly.

After 174 years, Korea became one of the first Seven Heroes of the Six Eastern Kingdoms to come to an end after 174 years from the division of the three families in 403 BC to the destruction of the Qin State in 230 BC.

Surrender has been a profound science since ancient times. A proper form of surrender would not only show surrender to the victors, but also maintain basic dignity and corresponding treatment. In modern times, the surrender process is very casual, with your head in your hands, a foot of white cloth can be done, and the more serious ones are just a signing ceremony or something. However, more than 1,000 years ago, the ancients played the matter of surrender in a variety of ways, and it was very ritualistic.

The most famous surrender method in history was Zheng Bo's surrender to King Chuzhuang. So what does it mean to dress up as a sheep? Was it Zheng Bo's personal performance art, or was it the convention of the time? It all starts with ancient rituals.

Flesh, that is, the upper body without clothes, represents pleading guilt and punishment in ancient rites. "Historical Records: The Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru" recorded the story of Lian Po's "flesh and burden" asking Lin Xiangru for sin, and later generations also summed up an idiom of "bearing Jing and asking for sin". Zheng Bo said that he was guilty and should be beaten, aiming to apologize to King Chuzhuang. Let's talk about sheep pulling.

What is the meaning of taking a sheep? In the pre-Qin period, when people met with each other, they had to bring a meeting gift, which was called "Zhi", or "Zhen". The categories of the dear are different according to the identity and gender; From another point of view, what sincerity is used reflects the relationship between the two parties. "Zhou Li, Da Zongbo" said: "With jade as the six rui, with the other states, Wang Zhizhen Gui, Gong Zhihuan Gui, Hou Zhixin Gui, Bo Zhibow, Zi Zhigu Bi, and male Pu Bi." Take the poultry as the six hearts, wait for the ministers, the lonely leather silk, the secretary of the lamb, the doctor of the goose, the scholar of the pheasant, the people of the people, and the chicken of the industry and commerce. ”

Zheng Bo and the King of Chu are both kings of a country, and the two should hold a jade called Gui when they meet, but now that Zheng Guo is defeated and surrenders, Zheng Bo must express his position, from the point of view of his affection, that is, Zheng Bo is willing to surrender under certain conditions, simply put, he hopes to surrender and still have the qualifications equivalent to the doctor.

The system of Chu is different from that of the Central Plains, the doctor of the Central Plains is equivalent to the county prince of Chu, and Zheng Bo's attitude is to hope to still retain the country and act as the county prince of Chu. He didn't hold the goose, and the execution meant that he wanted to continue to be on an equal footing with the king of Chuzhuang, and he didn't hold the goose, so the executive goose belittled Zheng Guo too low. Moreover, when King Wu of Zhou attacked Yin, the eldest brother of the king of Shang, Wei Ziqi, not only saved his life but also became the monarch of the Song State. From this point of view, Zheng Bo's meat and sheep are well thought out. These examples illustrate that in the humiliating matter of surrender, sometimes a silent ceremonial gesture is worth a thousand words, and can also avoid or reduce the embarrassment of negotiations.

Therefore, the king of Chuzhuang accepted Zheng Bo's surrender and ordered the army to retreat 30 li and make peace with Zheng Guoyi;

Getting back to the point, the Qin general Han Tengang proudly took the bronze seal presented by Han An, the king of Han, and ordered in a loud voice: "Set up camp outside the Iron Horse City!" 20,000 infantry troops into the city! ”

Han An, the king of Han, and the Korean minister were all escorted to Xianyang.

Ten days later, Qin sent Han Teng to the king of Qin's special letter: seal the Korean treasury and palace room for disposal in the later book; Qin sent Han Teng's headquarters to Xinzheng temporarily, waiting for the arrival of the receiving office. A month later, the state of Qin announced to the world: Korea was incorporated into the state of Qin, and Yingchuan County was established.

In the spring of 230 BC, in the spring of the eighteenth year of King Yingzheng of Qin, Korea officially perished. Han An, the king of Han, surrendered, and Korea perished. The Qin State built Yingchuan County with Han Land, and established the county to govern Yangzhai. After the fall of Korea, Han An, the king of Han, was moved out of the old land of Korea and placed under house arrest in Chen County. In this way, Korea became the first of the six countries to be destroyed at that time.

Postscript: In 226 BC, the old Korean aristocracy launched a rebellion in the former capital of Xinzheng, and the Qin State sent troops to quell the rebellion. After the rebellion was put down, in order to eradicate the scourge, the Qin people put Han An, the king of Han under house arrest, to death.

The Qin State used its absolute superiority in forces to attack and destroy Korea in one fell swoop, occupying a strategic place located in the "pivot of the world", and taking the first successful step in the war to unify China.

South Korea is not easy, South Korea is very pitiful, and life is very difficult. It's really like the dew grass and cold insects in the autumn wind, the wind branches and dark magpies, never strong, never brilliant, bow to this today, bow to that tomorrow, and occasionally fight and kill with other countries, but when you suffer a loss, you take advantage of it more and less, and you barely support it with the perseverance to survive, knowing that sooner or later it will be someone else's meal, you have to be so low-voiced, and live with fear. Just like that, the butcher's knife fell on its head first.

South Korea, a pitiful and sympathetic country among the "Seven Heroes" of the Warring States. The three families did not snatch much land from the "boss", but they were in the gap between Qin and Wei, and the neighbors were all strong countries, and whoever had the gas looked for him, and they all looked for him to rub oil for profit, so Han was very prosperous economically, very mediocre politically, very weak diplomatically, and very helpless militarily, and was a typical angry bag in the "Seven Heroes".

One hundred and seventy-four years after the founding of the country, there was neither a famous monarch, nor a famous minister or general, except for Shen Buxiao's change of law and sending troops to destroy Zheng, he did not do anything decent. Ask for peace with this today, kowtow to that tomorrow, and if you want to make an envoy to a small country, you have to look at the face of the backer behind him.

It's not easy to make a living in the cracks, and the crocodile lives in its mouth!

Han, Zhao, and Wei were originally Jin ministers, and as a new landlord class, they continued to grow and develop, gradually replacing the monarchy of the Jin office, and eliminated the competing kinds, and in the fourth year of King Zhou Kao, that is, in 436 BC, they divided the land of the Jin monarch, and one Jin became three Jin. In this plundering partition, the land obtained was relatively small, roughly equivalent to the southeastern part of present-day Shanxi Province and parts of the central and western parts of Henan Province. It is bordered by Qin in the west, Wei in the north, and Chu and Zheng in the south.

At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the capital was built in Pingyang (now southwest of Linfen City, Shanxi Province), and Han Wuzi moved to Yiyang (now the ancient town in the southwest of Yiyang City, Henan Province), and the economy was very prosperous, but in order to avoid the strong Qin, he had to move the capital to Yangzhai (now Yu County, Henan Province). Yangzhai is an ancient city in the Central Plains, located in the main traffic artery, the world's famous county at that time, with the reputation of "rich crown in the sea". In 375 B.C., Korea finally destroyed the state of Zheng and moved its capital to Zheng (present-day Xinzheng City, Henan Province). It is not difficult to see that the capital has been moving eastward, and the reason is to avoid Qin's troops.

At that time, the famous capitals of Korea also included Xingyang (now Xingyang City, Henan Province), Tunliu (now Tunliu County, Shanxi Province), and Changzi (now southwest of Changzi County, Shanxi Province). Han Wangan, as the last generation of monarchs, didn't even get a nickname, and he was called Han Wangan in history.

In 233 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin was preparing to attack Korea with Wei Yizhi's strategy, and Han Wang'an heard about it and immediately sent an envoy to Qin, and his son Han Fei took the initiative to stand up as this envoy.

In fact, Han Fei's real intention was not to be an envoy or not, but to know that there was no hope for South Korea, and he wanted to impress King Yingzheng of Qin with his talents and find a way out for himself in Qin.

Of course, his wish was destined to be difficult to fulfill.
