-Sima Qian commented on Wang Jian.
0 1. General introduction Sima Guang, a historian of the Northern Song Dynasty, once listed the famous soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in Zi Tong Zhi Jian. They are: Wang Jian, Wang Ben, xin li, Yang Duanhe, Huan Kun, Nei Shiteng, Fan Qiang, Meng Tian, Xin Sheng, Wang Li and Zhang Han. Among these people, Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son destroyed Sanjin, breached the capitals of Korea and Yan, and destroyed Chu, which were regarded as outstanding achievements. And Li Xin and others, also eliminated the six neutral countries in this battle.
Of course, among the ten generals, Meng Tian is the most famous. He is called the first warrior in China. According to historical records, this man once conquered Qi, attacked Xiongnu in the north, recovered the land of Henan and developed Ningxia, and was the first hero of the Qin Dynasty. But none of these people have a good end. At the end of Qin Dynasty, when facing Xiang Yu, there was only one Zhang Han left. Next, let's talk about these famous players.
The third king of the Qin Dynasty was General A Qin, who killed Qin's children for several years. He killed countless people and tricked them into surrendering all the princes to Xin 'an. Three kings of Qin tricked Qin into dropping more than 200,000 soldiers, and Han, Xin and Yi had to be eliminated. Qin's father and brother hated these three people, and the pain entered the bone marrow.

02. Where did all the famous soldiers go when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms? Ladies and gentlemen, due to space reasons, it is impossible for us to introduce all the famous soldiers in the Qin Dynasty in detail. You can only choose a few representative ones to talk about. Let's start with Wang Jian. According to Records of the Historian, this man led 600,000 Qin Jun to attack Chu in 224 BC, killed Xiang Yan, captured the king of Chu alive, and destroyed Chu in one fell swoop. Then, he went south again and was named Wu Chenghou. But what he did next, Sima Qian did not record.
Wang Jian's last appearance was during the Lv Buwei Uprising. He was responsible for protecting the King of Qin and suggested killing Lv Buwei. Since then, there has been no other record in the history books, and it is likely to be a natural death. Rainbow Jian, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, Huan Kun and others, their endings are not recorded in the history books. There is another kind, like Meng Tian, which is recorded in the history books, saying that he committed suicide by swallowing medicine.
Zhang Han is a soldier, but it is not enough to attack, but it is more than enough to obey the rules. Zhou Wenchang led a million-strong army of Enemy at the Gates, struck three times and left, killing Zhou Wen. So that it can't fight the enemy, but sit in the pass and stick to being a teacher to save the defeat. Although the land of Kanto has been divided, the whole Qin Dynasty has not collapsed.

03. Why can Han have the last laugh? To sum up, after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, most of the famous soldiers were idle and then died. And the rest, like Montaigne, were killed in the process of Hu Hai seizing the throne of the emperor. Only Zhang Hanxiao had the last laugh, because according to Zi Zhi Tong Jian, he was not a big official in Qin Shihuang's time, but a general. It was only in Hu Hai's hands that he took the seat of Shaofu, and he made his first grand debut in the process of destroying Guangwu Uprising, Chen Sheng!
