Chapter 729: King Yingzheng of Qin ordered the complete destruction of Han

In 226 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin decided to attack the state of Chu under the decision of a think tank.

Wang Jian was still the trusted general of King Yingzheng of Qin, and led Qin's field army south.

Wang Jian sent his son Wang Ben to attack the state of Chu, won the first battle, and took more than ten cities.

But at this time! A rebellion broke out in the former Korean capital.

It's not a big deal, but! The impact of this incident is huge. So! After some discussion with the think tanks, the King of Qin decided: temporarily slow down the plan to attack the Chu State and quell the civil strife first.

The situation at that time was that although Korea had been destroyed by the Qin state. But! In order to win the hearts of the people, the Qin State did not kill the king of Korea, his family members, and nobles. Opposite! He also gave the former capital of Korea to the king of Han.

Korea was the first great vassal state to be destroyed by the Qin state, and if you kill them all, the political 'governance' influence will not be good, and the kings of other vassal states in the future will only swear to resist to the death. Forced by the need for this political strategy, the Qin State did not kill the king of Han after destroying Korea.

If there is no such consideration, when the Korean capital is breached, the king of Han will be killed.

Originally! This King Han just picked up a life. If he learns from Liu Chan, the last king of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chan Adou, "can't think of Shu"? You can live a little longer. Maybe? and be able to live to old age.

But! This King Han's head was broken, and seeing that King Qin's energy was not on him, he began to plot a rebellion.

Outcome! Qin Guo was worried that there was no reason to kill him. Therefore! Taking advantage of the opportunity of King Han's rebellion, Qin's field army was killed. Put down the rebellion and take the opportunity to kill him.

Killing Han Wangan at this time also has social influence, and it has the taste of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Meaning: Our Qin State is righteous and angry! As long as you obediently hear that you abide by the laws of the Qin State, our Qin Congress will make a special case and we will continue to give you the benefits promised to you. If you rebel, rebel, rebel, then! That's the end.

The current Qin State: It is inevitable! The world basically belongs to the Qin State.

The reason why Qin did not kill the king of Han was to win the hearts of the people and show it to the kings of other vassal states. Let the kings of other vassal states see hope: there is a way to live after the destruction of the country, not a dead end.

Although the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, it did not kill it all, and did not destroy the King of Zhao directly.

In fact! The same is for other princes and kings to see. Meaning: Do not resist! If you resist, then! We will destroy your family. If you don't resist, you can also consider giving you a status so that you can have descendants to pass on.

Otherwise! Not only to destroy your kingdom, but also to make you have no offspring, and to kill all your offspring.

Han Wangan became a victim like this.

In fact! When Han Wangan was dying, he didn't even understand: why did he die like this?

Just like the antecedents of the Battle of Changping in Zhao State, the whole Zhao State did not understand: why did it provoke the army of Qin to overwhelm the border?

Back then! After the Qin State adopted the method of encroachment and division, it isolated the Shangdang in Korea.

Outcome! Someone is tinkering behind the scenes: they don't want to return to Qin, they want to return to Zhao.

On the surface! The Shangdang people seem to be very interesting. In fact! That's a ghost that the spies of the Qin State are doing in secret.

This spy is none other than Peng Zhou.

Under Peng Zhou's instigation, he instigated the emotions of the Shangdang people, so that the Shangdang people did not surrender to the Qin State and surrendered to the Zhao State.

Outcome! Zhao Guo thought that he had picked up a bargain, so he took the party into the territory of Zhao State.

Originally! The Qin State did this because he wanted to isolate the land of the Shangdang and then subjugate the Qin State. Otherwise! Haven't you attacked directly? Seeing that Zhao Guo was so ignorant, Qin Guo included Shangdang in their territory without hard work, so he naturally wanted to send troops.

Originally! The Qin State was worried that there was no reason to attack the Zhao State. Outcome! Zhao Guo sent this reason to him.

Therefore! There is the cause of the Battle of Changping. No! There is a reason for Qin to send troops to Zhao.

What does it mean to be famous? This is the teacher is famous!

It's not that our Qin State is powerful and hegemonic, it's that your Zhao State is too uninteresting.

And Zhao Guo! Until the army of the Qin State was overwhelmed, he still looked innocent and aggrieved, and felt that the Qin State was too domineering.

It is not that I, Zhao Guo, forcibly occupy the Shangdang, but that the people of Shangdang voluntarily submit to our Zhao State. Your Qin State is too bad, and the people of Shangdang are unwilling to submit. They want to submit to my Zhao country, can our Zhao country either?

At this time, Han Wangan also had the helplessness and innocence of Zhao Guo at the beginning!

Everything was not arranged by him, but the result was: he was killed and his family was punished.

But! He couldn't tell why: what was wrong?

It wasn't until he was cut that he understood: it turned out! Taken advantage of.

Others gathered the remnants of his subordinates behind his back and deliberately rebelled. And! Everything is going well, and there is a momentum to restore the country in one fell swoop.

Outcome! Not long after the rebellion, it was controlled by the Qin state.

The facts are in front of him, so that he cannot argue, in the end! Only confessions.

"See! So it was you? You hurt me! ......" Han Wangan was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and he fainted without catching it in one breath.

Before he could wake up, his head was cut like a melon.

All his descendants were killed, and not a single one was left alive.

The reason why King Yingzheng of Qin wanted to do this was to use Han Wang'an as an example and make an example for other princes to see.

So! Only then did the Qin side slow down its plan to attack the Chu State, and temporarily withdrew its troops to come back to clean up Han Wang'an.

Other than that! There is also a layer of strategic meaning and purpose. That is! Warning the State of Chu.

After the previous war, the Qin side had already tested the strength of the Chu State.

After the more than 400,000 field regiments of the Qin State came to the Chu State, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Chu State could not stop it at all.

The reason why the Qin State slowed down was not to increase the time for the Chu State to defend. But! In the hint to the state of Chu: it is useless to increase defenses! Defeat is inevitable! It is also a historical necessity!

That means: you better give up resistance! lest it be in vain, and in the end the whole clan will be killed.

Another reason for slowing down the attack on Chu: after the previous war against Chu, the line of contact between Chu and Qi had been completely cut off.

Other words! Even if the state of Chu and the state of Qi reached an alliance, the armies of the two countries would not be able to form a unified mode of operation. More importantly, the armies of the two countries could not join forces and pose a mortal threat to the Qin state.

Therefore! Under the decision of the think tank, temporarily slow down the speed of attacking the Chu State. But! Concentrate your forces to destroy the Wei state.

Right now! The field legions of the Qin State were all collectively on the territory of the former Korea, very close to the capital of the Wei State. So! It was decided to destroy the Wei State first.

After the destruction of Wei, the state of Qi and the state of Chu were divided into two places. The state of Qi is in the northeast, and the state of Chu is in the south of the Central Plains. And Wu Yue! It has always been independent. Although it is the territory of the Chu State, the Chu State cannot control here.

So! Wu Yue did not have much influence on the Qin State.
