The interests of Qin officials were basically obtained from the battlefield. The Qin people themselves were bellicose and good at fighting, and the system of Shang Yang's political reform blessed the Qin people to be more invincible. So what generals did Qin Shihuang rely on to sweep the six countries?
White (surname)
When it comes to the first place in Qin and even the first place in the Warring States, we have to mention that a generation of gods will be leitian. Bai Qi: Also known as Gong Sunqi, a native of Qin during the Warring States Period, was a famous general and strategist in ancient China. Tian Lei claimed that he participated in more than 70 battles in his life and never failed, the most famous of which was the battle of Changping, which killed more than 400,000 Zhao troops. In fact, the military investment of Qin and Zhao was similar in the battle of Changping. The total number of troops in Zhao is 450,000, and the total number of troops is more than 500,000. Before Zhao surrendered, more than 200,000 troops of Zhao died, and more than 200,000 died, basically 1 to 1. Zhao's fighting capacity in the battle of trapped animals shocked Qin from monarch to subjects to people. Finally, he took the blame for this history and ordered the remaining 200,000 surrendered soldiers to be buried alive.
In addition to the battle of Changping, Leitian also fought several famous big battles with less to win more. Thousands of people marched into the vast hinterland of the country for the first time, entered other people's capitals and took the initiative at home. Leitian used his unique knowledge of astronomy and geography at that time to build a dam in the upper reaches of Du Yan and Du Ying, the capital of Chu at that time. He waited for the rainy season to push the water level up before pushing the dam down, and the river rolled straight to the two capitals of Chu. At this time, Qin Jun hit Reservoir Dogs again, beheaded 80,000 elite Chu troops, and forced Chu to move the capital to Shouchun. Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, committed suicide by jumping into the river after struggling to resist the failure of Qin State. At this time, Tian Lei had little backup and limited military strength, and was fearless in the face of Chu, a big country. He dismounted Chu, a big country on an equal footing with Qin, and annexed half of Chu with a small blog.
In addition to the last two wars, there was a less famous battle of Tian Leike. And tens of thousands of people went deep into the hinterland of Wei. Facing the 240,000-strong Wei-Han Allied Forces, Tian Lei used the disunity of the command system of Wei-Han Allied Forces to divide them one by one, and finally beheaded all Wei-Han Allied Forces, completely kicking Wei and South Korea out of the club of big countries with limited strength. In this battle, in order to enhance Qin Jun's combat effectiveness, Qin Jun was asked to turn his back to the water to stimulate Qin Jun to fight to the death.
People familiar with history can easily see from the above two stories that the flooded Seventh Army and the last stop were not first used by the later soldier Han Xin, and the patent right should be Tian Lei. Tian Lei and his army killed too many demons. According to statistics, there were1200,000 people killed in the Qin unification war, and Tian Lei alone arranged 900,000 of them. A butcher who killed nearly a million people, Sima Qian must not let him become people's idols and role models, so a generation of God of War became a penitent butcher in Tai Shigong's works. Apart from the massacre, Tian Lei's military capability is absolutely first-class.
Ousen Wang
Leitian played a great role in weakening the powerful country when Qin unified the world. But in the end, General Wang Jian did the best finishing work to unify the world.
In the process of Qin Shihuang's unification of the world, three wang xing were used most frequently, namely Wang Ben, Wang _ and Wang Jian. Wang Ben is young and dares to fight, and Wang _ is mature and steady, but only Wang Jian is more comprehensive. Wang Jian's greatest contribution was to destroy Chu. Wang Ben, Wang Jian's son, boasted to Qin Shihuang that it only needed 200,000 troops to destroy Chu, but Wang Jian disagreed that it needed at least 600,000 troops. At first, Qin Shihuang believed his son's extreme words, but Wang Ben did not have the ability to win the capital of a big country with only a few troops. The determination of the Chu people to defend their motherland is much stronger than that of Tian Lei. In the end, Wang Ben can only be attributed to nothing, which consumes Qin's great national strength.
Qin Shihuang had to bow his noble head and beg Wang Jian to come out and give him 600,000 troops and enough logistics. Wang Jian's method is also very simple, that is, leading 600,000 troops to wait near the capital of Chu. This class was rectified. He stayed in Chu with 600,000 troops for a long time, which made Qin Shihuang very uneasy. In order to reassure Qin Shihuang, Wang Jian kept asking for fertile land and beautiful houses, showing his greedy face, which made Qin Shihuang feel that he was only asking for credit and had no possibility of self-esteem.
Mengtian
After reunification, the Qin State was so powerful that governors from all over the world dared not invade easily, but the Xiongnu in the north invaded the frontier several times. Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Tian to lead the troops to attack the Huns, and it was at this time that Meng Tian stood on the stage of history.
Meng Tian was born in a noble family, and his grandfather Meng Ao was a famous soldier in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When he was young, Meng Tian did not hold the post of general, but studied canon prison with Reese, then became a prison officer, and finally found his own position. In 226 BC, 2 15 BC, Meng Tian began to show his military talents. Meng Tian, who grew up in a military commander's family, was deeply influenced by the family environment. When he was young, he was ambitious and determined to take the lead and serve the country.
He is brilliant, especially proficient in the art of war, familiar with the art of war, and influenced by the environment and himself. Meng Tian gradually cultivated a higher military accomplishment.
In 22 1 year BC, he was appointed as a general by Qin Shihuang. He is not only famous in Montessori family, but also superior in ability, and his brother Meng Yi is also the supreme of Qing Dynasty. The Montessori brothers won the respect and favor of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian served as foreign affairs, and Meng Yi often colluded. Two brothers, one is in charge of internal affairs and the other is fighting on the battlefield. It was called loyalty at that time. Other generals dare not compete with it. After Meng Tian was appointed as a general, he devoted himself to the battlefield, participated in the Six-nation War of Qin's reunification, and was promoted to Qin's literature and history.
At the end of the Warring States period, the situation in the world was very grim, and the relationship between countries was subtle. With the help of one country, the State of Qin rose rapidly, swept the six countries in the Central Plains, and soon established the first feudal empire in the history of China. Although Qin established a huge empire and a series of stable systems, it was always invaded by Xiongnu in northern China. Xiongnu has always been a hidden danger in the Central Plains. Although Qin is unified and powerful, we have to underestimate the strength of Xiongnu. Therefore, it is in Meng Tian's hands to relieve the Xiongnu crisis in the Central Plains.
After Meng Tian became a general, he defeated the Qi army and made great achievements. After the first emperor unified the world, he led a huge team of 300 thousand people to crusade against Xiongnu in the north, recovered the land south of the Yellow River from Xiongnu and built the Great Wall for more than 10 thousand miles. Later, he was stationed there for more than ten years. During these ten years, regardless of the scorching sun and ups and downs, he stuck to his post, which had a great influence on the Huns and won the high respect and trust of the first emperor.
Xin Li
Li Xin was strong and brave when he was young. He is an outstanding figure among the young people in the state of Qin and one of the young generals trusted by the king of Qin.
In the 19th year of Qin Dynasty, after Qin captured An and destroyed South Korea, he sent Wang Jian to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to approach Zhangshui and Yecheng, while Li Xin sent troops to Taiyuan and Yunzhong to encircle Zhao with Wang Jianjun and capture Zhao in one fell swoop.
In the twentieth year of the Qin Dynasty, the Yan Wang sent an assassin, Jing Ke, to Xianyang to assassinate the Qin Wang in the name of presenting a map of Du Kang and Fan's head. As a result, Jing Ke failed to assassinate and was killed by the king of Qin. The king of Qin was furious when he learned that Yan sent people to assassinate him, so he sent Wang Jian and others to attack Yan.
In the 21st year of Qin Dynasty, Li Xin led the advance troops to Yishui first, defeated Yan Taizidan with light cavalry, and forced Yan Taizidan to flee into Yan Dou and stick to it. Soon, Wang Jian arrived and conquered Ji Cheng with a great army. Prince Xi and Prince Dan surrendered to Liaodong, and Li Xin led the army to pursue them. On behalf of the king, Zeng Yan said: The reason why we are struggling to catch up is to get Taizi Dan. If the king can kill Taizi Dan and give it to the king of Qin, Yan can keep it. Yan Taizi Dan fled to Yanshui, when Li Xin led thousands of soldiers to pursue Yan Taizi Dan to Yanshui. At this time, the prince liked to send someone to slay the prince Dan and dedicate his head to the State of Qin, but Li Xin and Wang Ben did not stop attacking. After this campaign, Li Xin won the trust of the king of Qin. In the 25th year of Qin Dynasty, Qin Jun captured the State of Yan, and the State of Yan perished.
At that time, Yan Teng captured South Korea, Wang Jian joined forces with Zhao and Yan, and Wang Ben easily captured Wei. In this case, as long as Chu is captured, Qi may surrender without a fight. Except Wang Jian, everyone thought that destroying Chu would be a relatively easy battle. In an impetuous atmosphere, Qin Shihuang appointed the most radical Li Xin as commander in chief and sent 200,000 troops to attack Chu. Chu evaded Xiang Yan, lured the enemy in-depth, dispersed Li Xin's few troops, and then waited for an opportunity to fight back, capturing each stronghold, which eventually led to Li Xin's defeat.
Sima Cuo
Sima Cuo was a native of Xiayang in the Warring States Period and the ancestor of Sima Qian. Sima Cuo lived in the state of Qin and was loyal to the monarch for three generations. During the reign of King Huiwen, Bashu was at loggerheads, and both countries sent people to Qin for help. The king of Qin wanted to take this opportunity to attack Shu, but considering that the road to attack Shu was very difficult, he was afraid that the territory of Qin would be occupied by South Korea when he sent troops to Shu.
The king of Qin hesitated and decided to invite the courtiers to discuss with him. Zhang Yi thinks it is better to attack South Korea first, while Sima Cuo thinks that attacking Shu first is the best choice. First of all, the strength of Shu is not as good as that of Qin, and after Qin invaded Shu, it can occupy favorable terrain and then deal with Chu. More importantly, Shu is a remote and small country. Even if Shu perished, the vassals would not unite against Qin. Sima Cuo's words touched the king of Qin, who decided to send troops to Shu and sent Sima Cuo to fight the Shu army. Within a year, Qin Jun completely captured Shu, and Shu became a vassal state of Qin.
After Shu was captured, there were many rebellions all over the country. Sima Cuo was ordered by the king of Qin to lead an army against the Shu rebels. During the reign of King Xiang of Qin, Sima Cuo was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the country and held the highest military power. Sima Cuo was ordered to attack Wei and successfully occupied the land of Wei. In the same year, he went to North Korea and captured the land of Deng in South Korea. A few years later, Sima Cuo was ordered by the King of Qin to attack Chu. Sima Cuo led his troops to the rear of Chu, defeated the Chu army without any preparation, and hit the capital of Chu all the way, occupying a large territory of Chu.
Wang Ben
The son of Wang Jian, he was reused in the first emperor's period. In the twenty-first year of the first emperor, he attacked Chu and captured more than a dozen cities. In twenty-two years, Wei was attacked, the girder was flooded, surrendered, and Wei perished. Twenty-five years, together with Li Xin, attacked Liaodong, captured Yan and destroyed Yan. On the way back, he attacked and destroyed the last remnants of Zhao. In twenty-six years, together with Li Xin, he attacked Qi, and the king of Qi surrendered without fighting, and Qi perished. It can be said that the Wangs contributed a lot to the war of national subjugation of Qin, and the father and son basically harvested the major vassal States.
Meng Ao
Meng Ao was originally a native of Qi, but later he defected to Qin, and was highly valued by Xiang. In the first year of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, he led an army to attack South Korea, forcing South Korea to cede elevation and Gongcheng and set up Sanchuan County.
In the second year of King Xiang Zhuang, he led an army to attack Zhao and pacify Taiyuan. In the first year of the first emperor, Zhao Jinyang was broken.
In the third year of the first emperor, he attacked South Korea and captured thirteen cities. In the fifth year of the first emperor, he attacked Wei, captured 20 cities, such as jujube, Qiu Yong and Yang Shan, and set up Dongjun. Mongolian talents came forth in large numbers and became the backbone of the post-Qin countries.
When a great dynasty rises, there will always be many heroes who come forward and splash brilliant waves with their own flesh and blood in the solemn long river of history! However, the reason why the Daqin Empire was able to annex the six countries was basically that all the old Qin people worked hard and made it step by step with blood and life! Be strong! Daqin!
