"Historical Records Biography of Bai Qi and Wang Jian"

Qin Shihuang destroyed the Three Jin Dynasties, took away the King of Yan, and defeated Jing Shi several times.General Li Xin of the Qin Dynasty, young and brave, tried to chase the crown prince of Yan to Yanshui with thousands of soldiers, and broke the pill, which was considered brave by the first emperor.So the first emperor asked Li Xin: "If I want to attack Jing, how many people will the general use?" Li Xin said, "No more than 20 people." The first emperor asked Wang Jian, who said, "It must be 60 people. "The first emperor said: "General Wang is old, how cowardly! General Li is strong and brave, and his words are true." So Li Xin and Meng Tian sent 20 troops to attack Jing from the south.Wang Jian said no, because he was sick and retired to Pinyang.Li Xin attacked Pinghe, Meng Tian attacked the bedroom, and defeated the Jing army.Xin attacked Yanying again and broke it, so he led his troops to the west and met with Meng Tian to meet the father of the city.Because of this, the Jing people did not stop for three days and three nights, smashed Li Xin's army, entered the two walls, killed the seven captains, and the Qin army left.

When the first emperor heard about it, he was furious, and galloped like the sun. Seeing Xie Wangjian, he said: "I don't use the general's strategy, and Li Xinguo insulted the Qin army. Now I heard that Jing's soldiers are marching westward. Although the general is sick, he can't bear to abandon the widow!" Wang Jian thanked him and said: "Old ministers will get rid of illness and rebel against chaos, but the king will choose a good general." The first emperor thanked him and said: "It's over, the general should not speak again!" Wang Jian said: "The king must use ministers as a last resort, and there must be 60 people. "The first emperor said: "In order to listen to the general's advice." So Wang Jian sent 60 soldiers, and the first emperor sent him to Bashang.Wang Jianxing, there are many beautiful fields and gardens.The first emperor said: "The general is going, why worry about being poor?" Wang Jian said: "As a great king and general, he will not be named a marquis if he has meritorious service. Therefore, as for the king's townspeople, the ministers also promptly asked the garden for their children and grandchildren." Huang laughed.Since Wang Jian was very important, the envoy also invited five generations of good farmers.Or say: "The general's begging for money is too much." Wang Jian said: "No way. The husband Qin Wang is stingy and distrustful of people. Now that the army of the Qin State is empty, I have been entrusted to me. I will not ask more farms and houses for my descendants to strengthen myself. , Gu ordered the King of Qin to sit down and suspect me of evil?"

Wang Jianguo attacked the thorns on Li Xin's behalf.When Jing heard that Wang Jianyi's army had come, he learned that the soldiers in the country were trying to resist Qin.When Wang Jian arrived, he fortified the wall and defended it, refusing to fight.Jing Bing counted out the challenges, but finally did not come out.Wang Jian rested the soldiers every day to wash and bathe, but he was good at eating and drinking, and shared food with the soldiers.For a long time, Wang Jian asked people to ask if there was a drama in the army?Confrontation said: "Fang throws stones to exceed the distance." So Wang Jian said: "Soldiers are available."Jian raised his troops to pursue him, ordered the strong men to attack, and defeated the Jing army.As far as Qinan, he killed his general Xiang Yan, and the Jing soldiers were defeated.Qin Yin took advantage of the victory to decide the city of Jingdi.Over the years, the king of Jing, who was captive, took the bait, and Pingjing became a prefecture.

In the 23rd year of the first emperor, Meng Wu was the general of Qin Pi, and he attacked Chu with Wang Jian, defeated it, and killed Xiang Yan. In the 24th year, Meng Wu attacked Chu and captured the king of Chu.Meng Tian's younger brother Yi.

"Historical Records: Biography of Chun Shenjun"

Chun Shenjun, a native of Chu, was named Xie and surnamed Huang.Study abroad and learn a lot, and serve as King Qingxiang of Chu.King Qingxiang used rest as an argument and sent him to Qin.King Zhao of Qin sent Bai Qi to attack Han and Wei, but they were defeated by Huayang.King Zhao of Qin ordered Bai Qi to attack Chu together with Han and Wei, but failed, and Chu sent Huang Xieshi to Qin to hear Qin's plan.At that time, Qin sent Baiqi to attack Chu, took Wu and the counties in the middle of Guizhou, pulled Yanying, and reached Jingling in the east, and King Qingxiang of Chu moved east to Chen County.Huang Xie saw that King Huai of Chu was lured into the court by Qin, so he was deceived and stayed to die in Qin.King Qingxiang and his son, Qin Qingzhi, are afraid that they will destroy Chu with one army.

Xie Nai wrote a letter saying that King Qin Zhao said: "There is nothing in the world stronger than Qin and Chu. Now I heard that the king wants to attack Chu. This is like two tigers fighting each other. Two tigers fighting each other and dogs suffer from it. It is not as good as Chu. Please. I said it. I heard that when things come, they will be reversed. This is also true in winter and summer; Also. In the body of the first emperors Wenwang and Zhuangwang, the third generation did not arbitrarily connect to Qi, so as not to follow the requirements of relatives. Today, the king made Shengqiao guard the affairs of Han, and Shengqiao entered Qin with his land. And get a land of hundreds of miles. The king can be said to be capable. The king raised his armor and attacked Wei. The gate of Du Daliang was lifted in Hanoi, and he pulled out swallows, jujubes, virtual, and peaches and entered Xing. The soldiers of Wei flew in the clouds and did not dare to beat them. The king's achievements are also many. .Wang Xiujia rested the crowd, and returned after two years; he also merged Pu, Yan, Shou, and Yuan, and took Linren, Pingqiu, Huang, and Jiyang Yingcheng to be conquered by the Wei family; The most important thing is to cut off the backbone of Chu and Zhao, and the five and six of the world will not dare to save it. The king's prestige is also single."

"If a king is able to hold on to his prestige, defuse his will to attack and enrich the land of benevolence and righteousness, so that there will be no future troubles, three kings will not be enough for four, and five uncles will not be enough for six. If you want to be the master of the world with your strength, you are afraid that you will have future troubles. The poem says, "There is no beginning, but there is an end." The Yi said, "The fox fords the water, wets its tail." This statement is easy at the beginning, but difficult at the end. Also. How do you know it? In the past, the Zhi family saw the benefits of defeating Zhao but did not know the disaster of Yuci, and Wu saw the convenience of conquering Qi but did not know the defeat of Qiantun. The two countries are not without great achievements. In the future. Wu Zhi believed in Yue Ye, and thus defeated Qi. He not only defeated the people of Qi in Ai Ling, but also became the Pu of Yue King Qin Sanzhu. The Zhi family believed in Han and Wei Ye, so they defeated Zhao and attacked Jinyang City. In the coming days, Han and Wei rebelled against him and killed Zhi Boyao under the chiseled platform. Now the king is jealous of Chu for not destroying it, but forgets to destroy Chu to strengthen Han and Wei, and the ministers are worried about it and will not take it."

"The poem says, 'Great Wu is far away from the house but not involved'. From this point of view, the state of Chu is aided; the neighboring country is also the enemy. The poem says, 'If you avoid the scorpion, return it to the dog. Others have a heart, and I think about it'. Today Wang Zhongdao believed in the good kings of Han and Wei, just as Wu Zhi believed in Yue. The minister heard that the enemy must not be faked, and the time must not be lost. The minister feared that Han and Wei Bei would quit their troubles, but really wanted to deceive the big country. Why? Wang Wuzhong The virtues of the world are in Han and Wei, but there are grievances for generations. Husband Han, Wei, father and son brothers, who died in Qin one after another, will last for ten generations. The country is ruined, the society is destroyed, and the ancestral temple is destroyed. , the head and the body are separated, the bones are thrown in the grass, the head is stiff, and they look at each other. The father and son, the old and the weak, tie their hands and tie their hands. Those who are captives meet each other on the road. The ghosts and gods are alone, and there is no blood to eat. The sea is filled with exiled servants and concubines. Therefore, Han and Wei are not destroyed, and Qin Sheji is also worried. Today, Wang Zizhi and attacking Chu are not too much!"

"And the king attacked Chu and sent troops evilly? The king will borrow the road from the enemy's Han and Wei? The day when the soldiers leave, the king is worried that he will not return. It is the king who used his troops to the enemy's Han and Wei. If the king does not borrow the road Han and Wei, who are enemies, must attack the land on the right side of the water. The soil on the right side of the water, these are all Guangchuan, great water, mountains, forests and valleys, and land that does not eat. Although the king has it, he cannot gain it. The king has it. Destroy the name of Chu without gaining the land."

"And on the day when the king attacks Chu, the four countries will all raise troops to respond to the king. The Qin and Chu armies will never leave, and the Wei family will go out to attack Liu, Fang Yu, Qi, Huling, Dang, Xiao, and Xiang. Therefore, the Song Dynasty must be exhausted. The people of Qi attacked Chu from the south, and they must attack Si. These are all plains extending in all directions, and the land is rich, so they can attack alone. The king defeated Chu by fattening Han and Wei in China to strengthen Qi. Han and Wei are strong enough to be compared to Qin. The south of Qi is bordered by Surabaya, facing the sea in the east and the river in the north, without any future troubles. There is no country in the world stronger than Qi and Wei. , it is more than enough to be an emperor than a forbidden king."

"If the king's soil is rich, the crowd of people and disciples, and the military revolution are strong, he will blame Chu for one incident, and delay the return of Han and Wei to the emperors over Qi. This is the king's miscalculation. The minister is the king, and there is no one who is good at Chu. Qin and Chu merged into one to approach Han, and Han will hold back his hands. The king will take the danger of Dongshan and the benefits of Quhe, and Han will be the lord of the pass. If the king spends one hundred thousand in Zheng, Liang's heart will be chilled , Xu, Yanling Yingcheng, Shangcai, and Zhaoling do not communicate. In this way, Wei is also the Marquis of Guannei. Wang Yi is good at Chu, and the master of [-] vehicles in Guannei is in Qi. .The land of the king passes through two seas, and he wants to make an offer to the world. It is Yan, Zhao Wuqi, Chu, Qi, Chu Wuyan, and Zhao Ye. Then Yan and Zhao are threatened, and Qi and Chu are directly shaken. Those of the four countries will submit without waiting for pain."

King Zhao said: "Good." So he stopped Bai Qi and thanked Han and Wei.Send envoys to bribe Chu, and make an appointment with the country.

Huang Xie accepted an appointment to return to Chu, and Chu sent Xie and Prince Wan to Qin as hostages, and Qin stayed there for several years.King Qingxiang of Chu was ill, and the crown prince was not allowed to return.But the prince of Chu and Qin corresponded to Hou Shan, so Huang Xie said to Ying Hou: "Is Xiangguo sincerely good to the prince of Chu?" If the crown prince is established, the Qin will be important and the country will have infinite virtues. It is also the case of being close to the country and gaining ten thousand rides. If he does not return, Xianyang will be clothed with clothes; if the crown prince is established in Chu, he will not be involved in Qin. The sum of ten thousand times is not counted. Who cares about it in the original prime minister." Ying Hou heard about the King of Qin.The King of Qin said: "Let Fu, the crown prince of Chu, go to ask the king of Chu about his illness first, and then come back and find out about it." Huang Xie made a plan for the prince of Chu: "Qin also kept the crown prince for profit. The crown prince has not been able to benefit from it now. Qin Ye, rest worry is very serious. But if the two gentlemen of Yangwen are in the middle, if the king dies and the prince is not there, the gentleman of Yangwen will be established as the heir, and the prince will not be able to serve the ancestral temple. It is better to perish Qin and go out with the envoys; ministers Please stop, I will die." The prince of Chu changed his clothes to be the envoy of Chu to go out of the pass, and Huang Xie stayed at the house, often to thank him for his illness.Prince Du was far away, and Qin could not pursue him. Xie Nai said to King Qin Zhao, "Prince Chu has returned, and he has gone far away. Xie should die, and he was given death." King Zhao was furious, and wanted to let him commit suicide.Ying Hou said: "Xie is a minister. He was born to favor his master. When the prince is established, he must use Xie. Therefore, it is better to return without guilt and to be close to Chu." Qin Yin sent Huang Xie.

Resting until the third month of Chu, King Qingxiang of Chu died, and the crown prince was established as King Kaolie.In the first year of King Kaolie, with Huang Xie as his prime minister, he was granted the title of Lord Chunshen and bestowed twelve counties in Huaibei.At the age of 15 later, Huang Xieyan said to the king of Chu: "The land in Huaibei is in order, and the matter is urgent. Please consider it convenient for the county." Because he also dedicated the twelve counties of Huaibei.Please seal it in Jiangdong.King Kaolie Xu Zhi.Lord Chunshen thought of himself as his capital because of the old city of Wuxu.

Since Lord Chunshen was with Chu, at that time Qi had Lord Mengchang, Zhao had Lord Pingyuan, and Wei had Lord Xinling. Fang competed for corporals, attracted guests, and robbed each other to assist the state to maintain power.

Chunshen Jun was the prime minister of Chu for four years, and Qin defeated Zhao's Changping army with more than [-] troops.In five years, Handan was encircled.Handan was in a hurry to Chu, and Chu sent Chunshen Jun to rescue him, Qin Bing also went, and Chunshen returned.In the eighth year of Chunshen Jun's prime ministership to Chu, he conquered Lu for the northern part of Chu, and took Xunqing as the order of Lanling.At that time, Chu Fuqiang.

Lord Zhao Pingyuan envoys people to Lord Chunshen, and Lord Chunshen sends him to Shangshe.The envoy of Zhao wanted to praise Chu, and made it a tortoiseshell hairpin, and the sword room was decorated with pearls and jade, so he asked Chunshen Junke.There were more than [-] guests from Chunshen Jun, all of whom were on their way to see the envoy Zhao, and the envoy Zhao was ashamed.

In the 14th year of Chunshen Junxiang, King Qin Zhuangxiang was established, with Lu Buwei as his prime minister, and he was named Wenxinhou.Take the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

In the 22nd year of Chunshen Junxiang, when the princes were suffering from Qin's endless offensives, they joined forces to attack Qin in the west, and the king of Chu was the congchang, and Chunshen Jun used his affairs.As far as Hangu Pass, Qin sent troops to attack, and the princes and soldiers were all defeated.King Chu Kaolie blamed Lord Chunshen, and Lord Chunshen benefited from it.

There is Zhu Ying, a visitor from Tianjin, who said that Chunshen Jun said: "Everyone thinks that Chu is strong, but the king is weak, and Yu Ying is not the same. The first king was good at Qin for 20 years and did not attack Chu. Why? Qin Yue strider It is inconvenient to attack Chu in the fortress of the pass. It is inconvenient to attack Chu with the back of Han and Wei in two weeks. This is not the case today. Wei Dan died, and he could not love Xu and Yanling. Xu Wei cut off with Qin. Qin Bing Go to Chenbaliu for ten miles, and what I see is that Qin and Chu are fighting each other." Chu then went to Chen to move to Shouchun, and Qin moved to Weiye Wang to set up Dongjun.Chun Shenjun was sealed in Wu from this, and he acted as a minister.

King Kaolie of Chu had no sons, Lord Chunshen was troubled by it, and those who asked for a suitable son from his wife entered him.Zhao Ren Li Yuan held his younger brother, the King of Chu who wanted to enter, heard that he was not suitable for a child, and feared that he would not be favored for a long time.Li Yuan begged Chunshen Jun to be a sacrificial person, so he returned home, so he missed the date.Also, Lord Chunshen asked about it, and said to him: "The younger brother of the king of Qi sent an envoy to ask his minister to drink with his envoy, so I missed the date." Lord Chunshen said, "Have you entered?" Confronted: "Not yet. " Chunshen Jun said: "Can I see you?" He said: "Yes." So Li Yuan entered his younger brother, and he was lucky to Chunshen Jun.Knowing that he was pregnant, Li Yuan conspired with his younger brother.The younger brother of the garden girl Chengjian said to Chunshenjun: "The king of Chu is honored and fortunate, although his brother is not as good as him. The king has been with Chu for more than [-] years, but the king has no children. That is to say, after a hundred years of age, he will have more brothers, and Chu will have more queens. , each respects his old relatives, and the king is safe and favored? It is not in vain. The king is noble for a long time, and he is more disrespectful to the king's brother. The brothers are sincere, and the calamity affects the body. How can we keep the seal of Jiangdong? ?The concubine knows that she is pregnant, but people don’t know. The concubine has not been fortunate to the king for a long time, and sincerely considers the king’s importance to enter the concubine to the king of Chu, and the king will be happy with the concubine; The state of Chu is all available, so what is the crime of facing an unexpected event?" Lord Chunshen was shocked, and he was the king of Chu who came out of Li Yuan's younger brother.The king of Chu summoned Xingzhi, and gave birth to a son, who became the crown prince, and made Li Yuan's younger brother the queen.The king of Chu cherishes the Li garden, and the garden is used for business.

Since Li Yuan joined his younger brother, he made him the queen and his son the crown prince. He feared that Lord Chunshen's words would be arrogance, and he wanted to kill Lord Chunshen to silence the dead, but the people of the country knew it well.

In the 25th year of Chunshen Junxiang, King Chu Kaolie fell ill.Zhu Ying referred to Lord Chunshen and said: "In the world, there are blessings without hope and disasters without hope. Now that you live in a world without hope, and the master of things without hope, can you be without someone without hope?" Chun Shenjun Said: "What is the blessing of not looking forward?" Said: "The king has been with Chu for more than [-] years. Although he is named Xiangguo, he is actually the king of Chu. Today, the king of Chu is sick, and he is about to die. When a state, such as Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, and the king's elders rebelled against the government, wouldn't that mean that the south would be called an isolated country and there would be Chu? This is the so-called blessing without hope." Chunshen Lord said: "What is the disaster of hopelessness?" He said: "If Li Yuan does not rule the country, the king will be enmity. It will be a long time if he does not support the dead for soldiers. When the king of Chu dies, Li Yuan must first enter the power and kill the king to silence the mouth. This is the so-called disaster that cannot be expected." Chun Shen. The emperor said: "What is a person without hope?" Confrontation: "The king puts his ministers among the courtiers. When the king of Chu dies, Li Yuan must enter first, and the minister kills Li Yuan for the king. This is what is called a person without hope." Chunshen Lord said: "Leave it at your feet, Li Yuan, a weak man, and a good servant, and why did he come here!" Zhu Ying knew that he didn't want to say anything, but he died for fear of disaster.

On the next seventeen days, King Kaolie of Chu died, Li Yuanguo entered first, and buried the dead in the Thorny Gate.Chun Shenjun entered the thorny gate, and the garden dead man stabbed Chunshen Jun, beheaded his head, and threw him out of the thorny gate.So the officials were ordered to wipe out Chunshenjun's house.And Li Yuan's younger brother, who was born to the king who was fortunate that Chunshenjun was pregnant at the beginning, became the king of Chuyou.

It is the year, and the first emperor of Qin has been in office for nine years.Lai Ai was also in chaos with the Qin, Jue, and Yi clans, while Lu Buwei was abolished.

"Warring States Policy · Wei Policy · The King of Qin Makes People Call Anling Lord"

The king of Qin sent someone to call Anling Lord and said: "I want to change Anling with a land of five hundred miles, and Anling Lord will allow me." I accept the land from Mr., and I hope to keep it forever, and I dare not change it." Qin Wang didn't say anything.Lord Anling sent Tang to Qin.The King of Qin said to Tang Qie and said: "The widow is easy to Anling with a land of five hundred miles, and the Lord of Anling does not listen to the widow. That’s why I don’t mind. Now I’m asking you to spread ten times the land to the king, but if the king rebels against the widow, do you despise the widow?” Tang Qi said to him: “No, that’s not the case. Lord Anling received the land from Mr. and guarded it. Even if you don’t dare to change it for a thousand miles, how can you go straight for five hundred miles?” The King of Qin was furious, and said to Tang Qie, “Have you heard of the anger of the Son of Heaven, too?” Tang Qie said to him, “I have never heard of it.” The King of Qin said: "The wrath of the Son of Heaven lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles." Tang Qie said: "Have you ever heard of the wrath of the commoner?" Said: "The anger of a mediocre man is also the anger of a non-scholar. When Zhuanzhu stabs the king, the comet strikes the moon; when Nie Zheng stabs the puppet of Han, the white rainbow pierces the sun; when Li wants to stab Qingji, the goshawk strikes In the hall. The three sons are all commoner men. They have not yet expressed their anger. They rested in bed and fell to the sky. They will be four with the ministers. If the soldiers will be angry, the two corpses will bleed for five steps. The world is nothing, today That's right." He raised his sword.King Qin looked at him, knelt down and thanked him, saying: "Sir, sit down, why is this! The widow tells me. Hu Han and Wei are destroyed, and those who live in Anling for fifty miles are only Mr. Yiyou."
