Li Xin

Raised an army to attack Chu:

The Qin State swept across the six kingdoms, destroying Han, Zhao, and Wei successively, and defeated the Chu army several times . After Yan Wangxi fled and was destroyed, Qin Wangzheng planned to attack and destroy Chu State to complete its unification and hegemony. Qin Wangzheng knew that Li Xin was very brave and decisive, so one day he asked Li Xin: "I plan to attack Chu. General, please estimate how many soldiers will be needed?" Li Xin replied: "No more than 200,000 soldiers." Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian again, and Wang Jian replied: "We must have 600,000 people." Ying Zheng said: "General Wang! How cowardly! General Li is really decisive and brave. Li Xin's words are right." So he He sent Li Xin and Meng Tian with an army of 200,000 to march south to attack Chu. Because Qin Shihuang did not accept his opinion, Wang Jian excused himself from illness and returned to his hometown Pinyang to retire.
