Qin Shihuang Defeated the Six Kingdoms

The sword points at the six countries, and the nine states share the same wind In the thirteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the atmosphere in the Qin court was solemn. Ying Zheng sat high on the throne, gazing resolutely at the civil servants and generals below, "With the army of tigers and wolves, I will sweep across the six kingdoms and achieve great achievements for all generations. What do you think?" Wang Jian stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, today the Qin State has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. We should seize this opportunity and defeat them one by one. If Han and Wei are close to Qin, they can attack them first to shock the princes. "Li Si also sent out a report and said: "I second the proposal, and you can send counselors to bring a lot of money to lobby against their monarchs and their ministers, and break their alliance." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "Good!" The Qin army immediately marched eastward and attacked South Korea first. King An of Han was cowardly, and the Qin army was invincible. Soon, all the Han lands were returned to Qin. When Zhao heard this, he sent Li Mu to lead an elite army to resist. Li Mu was good at fighting, but the Qin army was hindered in the first battle. Ying Zheng came up with a plan and sent people to spread rumors that Li Mu was rebelling. King Qian of Zhao was so stupid that he believed it to be true and killed Li Mu. The Qin army attacked again, the Zhao army was defeated, the city of Handan was destroyed, and the Zhao state was destroyed. Prince Dan of Yan was frightened and sent Jing Ke to assassinate Qin in an attempt to turn the tide. Ying Zheng was assassinated in the main hall of Xianyang Palace. The assassination was extremely dangerous, but Jing Ke failed in the end. Ying Zheng was furious and increased his troops to attack Yan. King Yan fled to Liaodong, and the Yan Kingdom was destroyed in name only. The city of Daliang in Wei State was strong and the Qin army could not attack it for a long time. Wang Ben diverted water from the Yellow River to flood the city, causing the city wall of Daliang to collapse, and King Wei pretended to surrender. The Chu Kingdom in the south has a vast territory and a large number of people. Xiang Yan led the Chu army to prepare for it. Ying Zheng appointed Wang Jian, a veteran general, and sent 600,000 troops from across the country southward. Wang Jian established a strong wall and cleared the country, and held a stalemate with the Chu army for more than a year. When the Chu army slackened, he attacked in one fell swoop and defeated the Chu army. Xiang Yan committed suicide.
