So what are the major contributions of Wang Jian before attacking Zhao? These are all clearly recorded in the history books of later generations!

The first credit: Kill Wei Qi. Fan Ju was a famous strategist during the reign of King Zhao of Qin, who laid a solid foundation for Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms with the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack", and was an enemy of Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei. Fan Ju, who became the prime minister of Qin, once threatened to ask Wei to hand over Wei Qi, otherwise he would raise troops to attack Wei. The situation forced Wei Qi to abandon Xiangyin and flee to Zhao, where he surrendered to Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. After the Battle of Changping, Wang Jian proposed to King Zhao of Qin, and King Zhao repaired a letter and asked Pingyuan Jun to send a letter to Guguan for a banquet. King Zhao followed the plan and lured Pingyuan Jun to take the bait. When Pingyuanjun came, he took the opportunity to detain him and escort him to Xianyang. If you send a message to Handan again, if you can't say Wei Qi, you won't release Pingyuan Jun. Just after the Battle of Changping, King Zhao Xiaocheng was in shock, and hurriedly sent troops to surround the Pingyuan Junfu and capture Wei Qi. Wei Qi fled to Wei Xinlingjun, who did not dare to take him in. Wei Qi was cornered and drew his sword to kill himself. Zhao Xiaocheng became the head of Wei Qi, and the starry night sent people to Xianyang, and the king of Qin released the plain king to return to Zhao. Wang Jian won the head of Wei Qi without spending a single soldier of the Qin State, and relieved the hatred in the heart of Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju for many years.

The second merit: to quell the rebellion of the Chengjiao. In the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, that is, in 239 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin ordered his younger brother Chang'an Jun Cheng Cheng to be the main general, and Fan Yuzhi was the deputy general to lead the army to attack Zhao. King Yingzheng of Qin sent Wang Jian to quell the rebellion. Wang Jian sent lobbyists to infiltrate the rebels, met Chang'anjun, and delivered a letter of persuasion to surrender. Chang'an Jun surrendered, and the rebellion was quelled. Fan Yu fled to the Yan Kingdom. But unfortunately, Chang'anjun did not save his life later.

The third merit: the eradication of the powerful minister Lü Buwei. At the beginning of King Yingzheng's reign, due to his young age, the state affairs were controlled by Xiangbang Lü Buwei. Seeing that Qin Wang Yingzheng was getting older, he was afraid that he wanted to leave the Queen Mother, and he was afraid that the Queen Mother would be resentful, so he offered a fake eunuch to the Queen Mother. Chang Yu and the Empress Dowager gave birth to two illegitimate sons in Yongcheng, the former capital of Qin (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi), and regarded themselves as the fake father of the King of Qin. With the help of the Queen Mother, Chang Yu sealed the Marquis of Changxin, led Shanyang, Taiyuan and other places, collected his own henchmen, operated in Yongcheng for many years, and established a huge force. In the ninth year of the reign of King Qin, that is, in 238 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin went to Yongcheng, where the Queen Mother was located, to pay a crown ceremony. Wang Jian led his troops to suppress Xianyang and sent 30,000 elites to protect the king of Qin as he traveled westward. After Qin Wang Yingzheng left, Lü Buwei controlled the state affairs in Xianyang, the national capital, and Wang Jian remained quiet, dispatched troops, and stood by to prevent Lü Buwei from waiting for an opportunity to change. Chang Yu was exposed for misbehaving, and launched a mutiny to attack the Qi Nian Palace where King Yingzheng of Qin was located, which is known as the "Qi Nian Palace Change" in history. King Yingzheng of Qin was aware of this conspiracy in time, and preemptively sent troops to quell the rebellion, pursued and beheaded Chang Yu, and purged hundreds of Chang Yu clique in Xianyang, so the matter involved Lü Buwei, and he was soon removed from his post as minister. Soon, at the suggestion of Wang Qian, he was given to death, and King Yingzheng of Qin fully grasped the power of the state.

In fact, there is another merit that is not recorded in detail in the history books: the crown prince and the prince, that is, the art of war and strategy that taught King Yingzheng of Qin. Moreover, his son Wang Ben, together with Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others, is the companion of Prince Yingzheng!

This is put in the future generations from the dragon hero!

When Meng Yi was thinking about Wang Jian and Huan Qi, he suddenly remembered his grandfather Meng Yi.

There are two records in the history books of later generations, one is that Meng Fu died of illness after living for more than 70 years, and the other is that Meng Fu was ambushed by Pang Xuan, a veteran of Zhao State, and died of serious injuries.

Thinking about it carefully, Meng Yi was relieved: how could King Yingzheng of Qin allow "Meng Yi to die in battle" to affect the morale of the army.

So both accounts are true! The death of a "serious injury" is also a death of illness!

Most of the records of pre-Qin history were influenced by princes and generals, and it was difficult to record them openly, justly, and truthfully. After all, not everyone is as upright and upright as Sima Qian, the Taishi of the Western Han Dynasty, and the historians after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were influenced by Confucianism and tried their best to record some more real events, which can be regarded as a kind of progress.

China has established a system of historians since the Xia Dynasty, the first recorded dynasty, and has continued to do so. In the pre-Qin era of China, there were many historians who adhered to a fair attitude and only wrote down the facts, even the princes and generals could not revise the history they wrote, they were a group of lovely people, who could not be afraid of power and adhered to the principles of the direct historical facts.

The source of these historians' fearlessness of power comes from two historical events in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, the famous "Cui Shu kills his king" and "Zhao Dun kills his king".

The first story is called "Cui Shu kills his king".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Cui Zhu in the Qi Kingdom. In 548 B.C., because Zhuang Qi Gong and his wife Tang Jiang had an affair and gave the hat given to him, he felt insulted, so he united Tang Wujiao to kill Qi Zhuang Gong, and established Zhuang Gong's younger brother Pestle (Jing Gong) as the king, and he was the right minister.

And the Taishi Gong of Qi recorded this incident truthfully: "Cui Shu killed his king." When Cui Zhu heard about it, he was furious and killed Taishi. Tai Shi's younger brother Tai Shi Zhong continued to write "Cui Shu killed his king", and Cui Shu killed him again. Later, Taishi's other younger brother, Uncle Taishi, also recorded truthfully that they were all killed by Cui Shu.

Taishi also has a third brother, Taishi Ji, Cui Shu said to him, "Your three elder brothers are dead, aren't you afraid of death?" You still do what I asked: write the death of Zhuang Gong as he died of a violent illness."

Taishi Ji Zhengse replied, "It is the duty of a historian to write directly according to the facts, and it is better to die if you are derelict in your duty to survive." Sooner or later, this thing you have done will be known to everyone, and even if I don't write it, I can't cover up your guilt, but will become a laughing stock for the ages." So he continued to write "Cui Shu killed his king".

Cui Shu had nothing to say, so he had to let him go. Tai Shi Ji came out and met Nan Shi's Zhijian, who thought that he had also been killed and came to continue writing about it.

The second story is called "Zhao Dun kills his king".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named Zhao Dun in the Jin Kingdom, that is, the grandfather of Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao family, and the ancestor of the Warring States Zhao State.

Zhao Dun was the first powerful minister of the Jin State after the Duke of Wen of the Jin Dynasty, integrating military and political power, serving as the ruling party, known as the Zhengqing, and the rule of law in the Jin State, which conflicted with the monarchy. During the reign of Zhao Dun, Jin Linggong gathered people's wealth and brutalized his subjects, Zhao Dun advised him many times, but Linggong not only did not change, but wanted to kill him. Zhao Dun had no choice but to flee. When he fled to the border of the Jin Kingdom, his brother Zhao Chuan led his troops to kill Linggong, so he returned to continue to rule.

The historian Dong Hu recorded: "Zhao Dun killed his king". Zhao Dun defended that it was killed by Zhao Chuan, not his crime. Dong Hu said: "The son is Zhengqing, he will not cross the border when he dies, but he will not please the thief, who is not the son?" ”

Of course, the incident of "Zhao Dun killing his king" also laid the groundwork for the later difficulty of going to the palace (that is, the Zhao orphan incident).

From these two stories, we can see the fortitude and integrity of the historians of the pre-Qin period, who could go forward and succeed regardless of their own life and death for the sake of a straightforward person.

Now Meng Yi not only predicts the current situation based on the history of later generations, but also deeply feels the complexity of history, and is often confused!

"Hey, I'm in history now, and I still can't know the causes and consequences of history, so the speculation and hypothesis of future generations are even less worth mentioning!" Meng Yi was very distressed.

Meng Yi suddenly compared the military careers of Meng Fu and Bai Qi again.

is also a master of high merit, why did King Qin Zhaoxiang only kill Bai Qi and favor Meng Qi?

People say that the most important thing in the Qin State is military talents, this sentence is really reasonable, not to mention anything else, only during the period of Qin Zhaoxiang, the grandfather of Qin Shi Huang, he shocked the world and terrified the six countries, so that the kings of all dynasties only dared to think in their dreams There are two genius military strategists, which two?

The man slaughtered Baiqi and the god of war was defeated. In terms of military literacy, both of them are experienced in a hundred battles, rare achievements, Bai Qi is especially good at sports warfare, it is said that under a thousand years, Taizu also learned a lot of experience from his battle examples; As for Meng Fu, on the surface, he doesn't seem to have particularly outstanding skills, but it can be seen from his battle examples that this person seems to be good at attacking, moving, ambushing, etc., and is an all-round general.

Let's compare the exploits of the two:

Bai Qi's main achievement was to subdue Zhao Chu and make them dare not attack Qin, laying a solid foundation for Qin's future achievements in the imperial industry.

As for Meng Fu, he seized more than ten cities in Korea, more than 30 cities in Zhao and more than 50 cities in Wei in his lifetime, so that Qin was able to set up Sanchuan County and Dong County, and let Qin's territory connect with Qi State, forming a three-sided encirclement of Korea and Wei.

Although it is relatively simple, it can probably be seen that both of them have made immortal contributions to the Qin State, and they are both suspected of being high-ranking masters, and they are also high-ranking masters, but why did King Qin Zhaoxiang kill Bai Qi in the end, and always trusted Meng Qi, and sealed it to Shangqing.

There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, in fact, judging from the origins of the two, Bai Qi should be more favored, why?

The three armies of the Qin army were merged into one army, which was commanded by the general Huan Qi. But Huan Qi didn't like the two Meng Yi brothers, so he found a reason, and sent the Meng Yi brothers to Nanyang to be responsible for the grain and grass of the 300,000 army. To fight a war, it is necessary to have food and grass, but it is the most important military affairs.

The battle on the front line is currently going very well, and Meng Yi rarely steals a moment of leisure.

Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, came to Nanyang at some point, and the heroine Dong Rou's mother and daughter naturally walked together.

"Dong Lao, why did you suddenly visit?" Meng Yi felt very surprised, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Have you ever heard of the Mo family?" Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The world is strife, and a hundred schools of thought are contending. If it is not Confucianism, it is not an exaggeration to divide the world. Momen was founded by Mo Zhai, the patriarch of the Mo family, with the mission of "love", "non-attack" and "helping the world", and was a disciplined academic society, whose leader was called "Juzi", and its members must implement the Mohist ideas when they went to various countries as officials, and the income must also be dedicated to the group. Later, with the continuous growth of the Mo family, the influence spread all over the country, and then it was divided into Qi Mo, Chu Mo, Han Mo, Wei Mo, Zhao Mo, and Yan Mo according to the region. Meng Yi pondered for a while and said slowly.
