China's Classical Historical Records: Translation of Biographies of Wang Jian in Tian Lei.

Tian Lei is a local. He was good at fighting and played for Zhao Haoqi of Qin. In the thirteenth year (294 BC), Bai Qi was appointed Chang and led troops to attack the new town in South Korea. This year, Anghou served as the Prime Minister of Qin. He used Ren Bi as the chief of Hanzhong. In the second year, Tian Lei made Zuo Geng, attacked the allied forces of Korea and Wei, killed Yi Que, killed 240,000 people, captured their general Gong Sunxi alive, and even captured five cities. Tian Lei was promoted to captain of the national team. He led his troops across the Yellow River and seized a large area of land east of Anyi, South Korea, up to the great river. In the third year, Tian Lei was named as a big beam seat. Defeated Wei Jun and occupied 6 1 town. In the fourth year, Tian Lei and Ke Qingshi mistakenly attacked Yucheng and immediately took it. In the fifth year, he attacked Zhao and occupied Guanglang City. In the seventh year, Tian Lei attacked Chu and occupied five cities, including Yan and Deng. In the second year, he attacked Chu again, occupied Ying, the capital of Chu, burned the cemetery of the former king of Chu, and went to Jingling in the east. The king of Chu fled Ying capital, fled eastward and moved the capital to Chen. Qin land is Nanjun. Tian Lei was named Wu Anjun. He took advantage of the situation to capture Chu State and pacify Wujun and Qianzhong County. In the thirty-fourth year of Zhao Haoqi (273 BC), Bai Qi attacked Wei, took Huayang, defeated Mangmao, captured General Zhao and Wei, and beheaded 130,000 people. At that time, Tian Lei fought Jia Yan, the general of Zhao, and sank 20,000 soldiers of Zhao into the Yellow River. In the 43rd year of Zhao Haoqi (264 BC), Leitian attacked Hongcheng in South Korea, captured five cities and cut 50,000 enemies. In 44 years (263 BC), Bai Qi attacked the Taihang Road in Nanyang, South Korea, and blocked this passage.

In the forty-five years of Zhao Haoqi (262 BC), Leitian sent troops to attack the wild king city of South Korea, and the wild king surrendered, cutting off the contact between Shangdang County and South Korea. Shangdang county guards discussed with the people: "The road leading to the capital city of Zheng has been cut off, so South Korea certainly can't take care of us. Qin Jun is advancing day by day, but South Korea can't help, so it's better to join Shangdang and go to Zhao. If Zhao accepts us, Qin will be very angry and will attack Zhao. When Zhao was attacked by force, he must have been close to South Korea. The combination of Korea and Zhao can resist Qin. " So he sent someone to inform Zhao. Zhao Haoqi studied this matter with Pingyang Jun and Ping Yuanjun. Pingyang Jun said, "It's better not to accept it. Accepting it will bring more disasters than benefits. " Ping Yuanjun objected: "Get a county for no reason, just accept it." So the prince of Zhao accepted Shangdang and named Feng Ting Hua Yangjun.

In the forty-sixth year of Zhao Haoqi (26 1 BC), the state of Qin captured Gouhe Linyi in South Korea.

In the forty-seventh year of Zhao Haoqi (260 BC), the State of Qin sent Wang Bi, the eldest son of Zuo Shu, to attack South Korea and seize Shangdang. Shangdang people fled to Zhao in succession. Zhao stationed troops in Changping to meet Shangdang people. In April, Wang Bi took this opportunity to attack Zhao. Zhao sent Lian Po to command the army. The armies of Qin and Zhao met from time to time. Zhao bing invaded the swimming water, and the swimming water cut Zhao's deputy commander. The war gradually expanded. In June, Zhao's position was breached, two castles were occupied and four junior officers were captured. In July, Zhao Jun built a high wall, and the wall could not get out. So he set out and captured two commanders alive, attacked Zhao Zhai and captured Xiying alive. Lian Po stuck to the camp and took the defensive against Qin Jun. Many challenges, but Zhao can't stick to it. The Prince of Zhao repeatedly accused Lian Po of not going to war with Qin Jun, and the Prime Minister of Qin, Won Hou, sent people to Zhao Guohua to fight against him, boasting, "The most nerve-racking thing in Qin is that Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, dare not be a general. Lian Po is easy to deal with and will surrender. " The prince of Zhao had long been angry at the numerous casualties of Lian Po's army, but he kept to the camp instead of fighting. In addition, he heard many rumors and believed them, so he sent Zhao Kuo instead of Lian Po to attack Qin Jun. When Qin learned that Ma Fujun's son was a general, he secretly sent him as a general and Wang Bi as a lieutenant, and ordered anyone who dared to reveal himself as the supreme commander in the army to be shot. As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived, he sent his troops to attack Qin Jun, pretended to be defeated and fled, and arranged two Indiana Jones to match Zhao. Zhao pursued the victory and went straight to the camp. However, Qin Jun's camp is very strong, so it cannot be invaded. A 25,000-strong assault force cut off Zhao's back road, and another 5,000-strong fast horse force wedged between Zhao's camps, cutting off their contact, dividing Zhao into two isolated parts, and blocking the grain transportation channel. At this time, Qin Jun sent light soldiers to carry out the attack. When Zhao's army was defeated, they built a barrier and stood firm, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. The king of Qin learned that Zhao's grain transportation channel was cut off. He went to Hanoi in person and conferred a title on the people. Recruit/kloc-young adults over 0/5 years old to Changping battlefield, intercept Zhao's reinforcements and cut off their food.

By September, the soldiers of Zhao had been without food for forty-six days, and the soldiers in the army secretly killed people to satisfy their hunger. Zhao was so anxious that he rushed to the camp, trying to escape. They formed four teams and attacked four or five times in turn, but they still failed to rush out. Their general, Zhao Kuo, sent elite soldiers to battle in person and led these people to fight against Qin Jun. As a result, Qin Jun shot and killed Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo's army was defeated and 400,000 soldiers surrendered to Wu Anjun. Wu Anjun discussed and said, "In the past, Qin Jun won Shangdang, but Shangdang people didn't want to be subjects of Qin and joined Zhao. Zhao Bing is fickle. If we don't kill them all, I'm afraid there will be trouble. " So he buried all Zhao's soldiers alive by deception. Only 240 young soldiers were put back to Zhao. Before and after World War I, Zhao was beheaded and killed 450,000 people. Zhao was shocked.

In October of the forty-eighth year of Zhao Haoqi (259 BC), Qin Jun pacified Shangdang County again. Later, the Qin army was divided into two ways. Wang Bi captured Picang and Sima Geng pacified Taiyuan. Han and Zhao were very afraid, so they sent to Qin State and presented a lot of gifts to persuade Prime Minister Yinghou to say, "Did you capture and kill Zhao Kuo?" Yinghou replied: "Yes." Su Dai asked again, "Is it necessary to besiege Handan?" Yinghou replied: "Yes." So Su Dai said, "When Zhao perishes, the king of Qin will rule the world, and Wu Anjun will become three princes. Wu Anjun captured more than 70 cities for the State of Qin, pacified Yan, Ying and Hanzhong areas of Chu in the south, and captured 400,000 troops of Zhao Kuo in the north. Even the famous Duke of Zhou, Zhao Gong and Lv Wang made greater contributions. If the state of Zhao perishes and the king of Qin dominates the world, Wu Anjun will definitely rank third. Could you fill in for him? Even if you don't want to feel inferior, you must be unyielding. Qin Jun once attacked South Korea, besieged the scaffold and trapped Shangdang to death. The people of Shangdang turned to Zhao, the people of the world, and were unwilling to be the subjects of Qin for a long time. If Zhao is destroyed, the land in the north will fall into Yan, the land in the east will be merged into Qi, and the land in the south will be merged into Han and Wei, so you won't get many people. Therefore, it is better to make Han and Zhao feel uneasy, let them cede land, and don't let them establish credit again. " After listening to Su Dai, he said to the king of Qin, "The soldiers in Qin are too tired. Please promise South Korea and Zhao to make peace and let the soldiers rest temporarily. " The king of Qin listened to the suggestion of the Emperor Won, cut down the walls of Korea and the six cities of Zhao, and made peace. In the first month, the two sides stopped fighting. When Wu Anjun learned of the truce, he had his own ideas. From then on, he had a bad feeling with Yinghou.

In September this year, the State of Qin sent troops again and ordered the tomb of Master Wudu to attack Handan, Zhao. At that time, Wu Anjun was ill and could not go to war. In the first month of the forty-ninth year of Zhao Haoqi (258 BC), the tomb attacked Handan, but with little effect and little progress, Qin sent more troops to help the tomb continue to attack. As a result, the tomb raiding troops lost five barracks. Wu Anjun was well, and the king of Qin planned to send Wu Anjun to command the army instead of the mausoleum. Wu Anjun urged, "Handan is really not easy to attack. Moreover, reinforcements from various vassal States arrived every day, and resentment against Qin accumulated over time. Now, although the state of Qin has wiped out the Zhao army in Changping, more than half of its soldiers have died, and the domestic forces are empty. Traveling thousands of miles to compete with other countries, Zhao fought in the city, and the vassal army besieged the city outside, and defeat was inevitable. This battle can't be played. " The king of Qin personally ordered that Wu Anjun refused to go to his post; So he sent Won Hou to invite him, but Wu Anjun refused to go to his post all the time. He could not admit his illness.

The king of Qin had to reassign Wang Bi to command the army instead of the tomb, and besieged Handan in August and September, but failed to capture it. Chu sent Chun and Wei Gongzi to lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack, which caused heavy losses and heavy casualties. I have something to say: "Qin didn't listen to my advice, what happened now!" " When the King of Qin heard this, he was furious and forced Wu Anjun to accept his post. Wu Anjun said he was seriously ill. When Hou invited him again, he resigned. So he cancelled Wu Anjun's rank, reduced him to a soldier, and told him to leave Xianyang and move to Yinmi. But Wu Anjun is ill and can't come. After three months, it was even more imminent for the Allies to attack Qin Jun. Qin Jun repeatedly retreated, and messengers came every day. The king of Qin sent someone to expel Tian Lei, so that he could not stay in Xianyang. Wu Anjun has been on the road, out of the Xianyang Ximen Shili Road, to Du You. Qin Zhaowang, Ma Hou and Qun Chat said: "I moved out of Xianyang on a white day, but I am still dissatisfied, unconvinced and complaining." The king of Qin sent a messenger to give him a sword and let him commit suicide. When Wu Anjun was about to commit suicide with his sword, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "What crime did I commit against heaven and ended up like this?" After a while, he said, "I should have died." In the battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Zhao surrendered, and I pretended to be buried alive, which was enough to die. "Then commit suicide. Wu Anjun died in November of the tenth year of Qin Zhao's Wu Wang (257 BC). Wu Anjun was innocent when he died. The people of Qin sympathized with him, and people in both urban and rural areas offered sacrifices to him.

Wang Jian is from Pingyang East. When I was a teenager, I liked the military and later worked for Qin Shihuang. In the eleventh year of the first emperor (236 BC), Wang Jian led an army to attack Sui and Zhao, which not only captured, but also captured nine cities. In the eighteenth year of the first emperor (229 BC), Wang Jianling led the troops to attack Zhao. After more than a year, Zhao was captured, the king of Zhao surrendered, and all parts of Zhao were settled and counties were set up. In the second year, Yan sent Jing Ke to Qin to murder the king of Qin, who sent Wang Jian to attack Yan. The prince fled to Liaodong, and Wang Jian finally pacified Ji, the capital of Yan State, and returned home in triumph. The king of Qin sent Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, to attack Chu, and Chu was defeated. He turned to attack Wei, and Wang Wei surrendered, finally pacifying all parts of Wei.

Qin Shihuang destroyed Korea, Zhao and Wei, drove Yan away and defeated the Chu army many times. Li Xin, the general of Qin State, was young and brave. He once pursued Yan Taizi Dan to Yanshui with thousands of soldiers, and finally defeated the Yan army to catch Taizi Dan. Qin Shihuang thought Li Xin was virtuous and brave. One day, Qin Shihuang asked Li Xin, "I want to capture Chu. How many talents can the general estimate? " Li Xin replied: "No more than 200,000 people." Qin Shihuang asked Wang Jian again, and Wang Jian replied, "There must be 600 thousand people." Qin Shihuang said, "General Wang is old, how timid he is! General Li is really decisive and brave, and it makes sense. " So Li Xin and Meng Tian were sent south to attack Chu with 200,000 troops. If Wang Jian's words were not adopted, he went back to Pingyang's hometown for the elderly on the pretext of being ill. Li Xin attacked Pinghe, Meng Tian attacked Diyi and defeated the Chu army. Li Xin then attacked Yan Ying and won it again, so he led his troops westward and joined forces with Meng Tian in the city. In fact, Chu Jun is following them for three days and nights without stopping. As a result, Li Xin was defeated, two barracks were captured, seven commanders were killed, and Qin Jun fled.

Qin Shihuang flew into a rage when he heard the news. He personally took the express train to Pingyang. When he saw Wang Jian, he apologized and said, "Because I didn't adopt your plan, Li Xin really humiliated Qin Jun. Now I hear that the Chu army is advancing westward day by day. Although the general is ill, can he have the heart to abandon me? " Wang Jian refused, saying, "The old minister is sickly, groggy and helpless. I hope the king will choose another good general. " Qin Shihuang apologized again and said, "All right, general, stop talking!" Wang Jian said, "Your Majesty must have used me as a last resort. He must have 600,000 people." Qin Shihuang readily promised: "I only listen to the general's plan." So Wang Jian set out with 600,000 troops, and Qin Shihuang personally went to Pakistan to see him off. When Wang Jian left, he asked for a lot of fertile land, beautiful houses and gardens. Qin Shihuang said, "Although the general is on the road, why should he worry about the hard life at home?" Wang Jian said: "Even if you have made great contributions to the King's army, it is difficult to get a title and title. Therefore, when the king attached great importance to me, I had to ask the king to buy a property for future generations in time. " Qin Shihuang burst out laughing. After Wang Jian set out, he went to Hanguguan and sent envoys back to the DPRK for fertile land five times in a row. Some people say, "The general is asking too much for the family business." Wang Jian said, "That's not true. The king of Qin is rude and suspicious of people. Now that the King has specially entrusted me to take charge of the dimming of the national samurai, I don't need to ask Tian Zhai to give products to future generations of buyers to show my firm will to go out, but let the King of Qin doubt me for no reason? "

Wang Jian eventually replaced Li Xin to attack Chu. When the King of Chu learned that Wang Jian had sent more troops, he tried his best to resist Qin Jun. Wang Jian arrived at the battlefield, built a strong camp, took the defensive and refused to send troops to fight. The Chu army has repeatedly challenged and never stood firm. Wang Jian gave the soldiers a rest and a bath every day, provided them with exquisite meals to comfort them, and personally shared drinks and meals with the soldiers. After a while, Wang Jian sent someone to ask the soldiers what game to play. When I came back, I reported, "I'm throwing stones to see who throws them far." So Wang Jian said, "Soldiers are available." Chu Jun challenged again and again, but Qin Jun refused to accept the challenge, so he led his troops eastward. Wang Jian took the opportunity to send troops to pursue, and sent strong fighters to strike hard and defeat the Chu army. Chasing Qin An and killing their general Xiang Yan, the Chu army finally escaped. Qin Jun pursued the victory and occupied and pacified the cities of Chu. A day later, the king of Chu was captured, and finally all parts of Chu were settled and counties were set up. He also took advantage of the situation to conquer Baiyue King in the south. At the same time, Wang Jian's sons Wang Ben and Li Xin conquered and pacified all parts of Yanqi.

In the 26th year of Qin Shihuang (22 1), the vassal states were annexed and the world was unified. General Wang and General Meng contributed the most, and their fame spread to future generations.

Qin Ershi, Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben all died, and Meng Tian died because of being framed. When Chen Sheng fought against the Qin Dynasty, II sent Wang Li, the grandson of Wang Jian, to attack Zhao, and besieged Zhao Xie in Julucheng. At this time, a man said, "Wang Li, this is a famous soldier in the Qin Dynasty. Now he is leading a powerful Qin Jun to attack the newly established Zhao State, which is bound to be defeated. A passer-by said, "That's not true. It is said that the general family will fail in the third generation. What is the reason for saying that he will fail? There must be too many people killed in his family, and his descendants will be punished by evil. Now Wang Li is the third generation general. "Soon, Xiang Yu saved Zhao and attacked Qin Jun. Sure enough, Wang Li was captured, and Wang Li's army surrendered to the vassal army.

Tai Shigong said: As the saying goes, "the ruler is short and the inch is long." Tian Lei's calculation of the enemy can be described as resourceful, endless, wonderful and changeable, and famous all over the world. However, he could not cope with the disaster that should have been created for him. As a general of Qin State, Wang Jian made outstanding achievements in pacifying the six countries. At that time, he was an old general, and Qin Shihuang respected him as a teacher. However, he could not help Qin Shihuang to establish a moral policy to consolidate the foundation of the country, but managed to cater to and please his master until his death. It is natural that his grandson Wang was captured alive by Xiang Yu! They each have their own shortcomings.
