Wang Jian, a famous Qin player who laid the foundation for Daqin to unify the whole country, almost lost his life and his family's future because of a seemingly indifferent dialogue between the monarch and the minister.
In 230 BC, General Qin defeated South Korea.
Around 228 BC, Wang Jian completely annexed Zhao, captured more than half of the cities in Yan State, and forced it to linger in Liaodong, and there was no power to enter the Central Plains.
In 225 BC, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, flooded the girder of Wei, and Wei surrendered.
Three of the six countries in the East were destroyed by Wang Jian or his sons, and stood at the top of the exploits of Qin State. They were worshipped by the old Qin people and Qin Jun soldiers, and the Wangs had both morale and popular support.
However, for Ying Zheng, the monarch of Qin, who has been a "disobedient minister" since ancient times, it was on pins and needles. So Ying Zheng urgently needs to balance the Wangs. How? Ying Zheng chose to support new people.
Ying Zheng was reading a newspaper in Wang Jiajun when a young general named Li Xin caught his attention.
"Historical Records, Biography of Tian Lei, Wang Jian" Li Xin was young and brave, and tried to chase Yan Taizi Dan with thousands of soldiers. As for Yanshui, it was defeated by Dan.
As a subordinate of the Wangs, Li Xin once defeated the main force of the Yan Army with fewer troops and won the Yan King in the anti-Yan campaign. He is a brave and resourceful military star. Being capable and young is undoubtedly a good pawn for Ying Zheng to balance the Wangs.
In order to take it for granted, Ying Zheng first created public opinion and publicly evaluated Li Xin's "bravery" as a talent! Then he was brought into the highest military decision-making circle, attended the highest military conference of Qin State, and competed with Wang Jian on the same stage.
Since then, Ying Zheng has also selectively ignored Wang Jian at the Chu War Conference, and can't let his family make military contributions again. At the battle meeting, Ying Zheng made it clear that the next strategic goal was to win the State of Chu, and began to let the generals budget the number of troops. Xin Li blurted out that he only needed 200,000 yuan, while Wang Jian insisted on 600,000 yuan.
At the beginning of Records of the Historian Biography of Tian Lei's Wang Jian, the emperor said, "General Wang is old, why should he be afraid?"! General Li is strong and brave, and his words are also. "
Faced with the choice of 200,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan, Ying Zheng was secretly pleased. Li Xin did not bear the cultivation, and the limelight overshadowed Wang Jian. Finally, Ying Zheng proudly satirized "General Wang is old", and the Wangs naturally ruled out the plan to attack Chu.
Biography of Wang Jian in Historical Records of Tian Lei says that Wang Jian can't, because of illness, he returned to frequent Yang in his later years.
Ying Zheng's satire not only stung Wang Jian's heart, but also made Wang Jian clearly realize that he had done a great thing, so he consciously chose to retire and quit the military with old age and illness, so as to avoid Ying Zheng's suspicion and protect the family interests. Ying Zheng achieved his goal.
What Ying Zheng never expected, however, was that Li Xin, whom he trusted, had a moth, so that he could persuade the Wangs to return to before liberation. Li Xin underestimates his enemy, and 200,000 troops are led into the encirclement by the Chu army, not to mention the demise of Chu, and Qin Jun has almost no bones left.
Ying Zheng heard the bad news, deep down, can be said to be Wan Ma Benteng. But as a leader, he must be quiet, he must solve the problem, not worry about how things happen, no!
Wake up Ying Zheng, he realized that he was too hasty. Although the young generals are enthusiastic, they are not deeply involved and have a high probability of problems. Destroying Chu, as a national war, should be safe. So Ying Zheng decided to use Wang Jian again.
Considering that he really hurt Wang Jian's heart, Ying Zheng invited Wang Jian to come out of the mountain, and took out the corporal's highest etiquette "self-discipline" and personally invited him. At first, Wang Jian was a little grumpy. Xie said, "Don't be too sick and chaotic, my king prefers wise generals."
But when Ying Zheng said, "It's over, General!" Wang Jian's back began to get cold. Ying Zheng's words, seemingly telling Wang Jian to stop shirking, actually imply that you should be conscious, General. I'm not discussing with you again, but giving orders.
At this time, if Wang Jian shirks again, it means fishing in troubled waters. Ying Zheng, as the boss, will definitely not stay. After all, loyalty is a big problem for a person who bargains when the boss is in danger. At that time, when he was in danger, he was defeated like a mountain and was sentenced to death by Qin.
With Tian Lei's lesson, Wang Jian was keenly aware of the hidden danger behind Ying Zheng's seemingly relaxed words. So I immediately promised to go out! At the same time, in order to dispel Ying Zheng's worry about his ulterior motives, Wang Jian begged for money several times after sending troops to appease Ying Zheng's heart.
Wang Jian can die a fair death, and we have to admire his observation, which has the characteristics of an official operator.
