This is also the case. Why are the endings of Tian Lei and Wang Jian so different?

The Warring States Period (475 BC-22 BC1year) is the period after the Spring and Autumn Period in the history of China. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC-476 BC), the number of vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty was greatly reduced, that is, most of the weak vassal states were basically annexed by neighboring powers. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the three clans of Wei, Zhao and Han joined hands to destroy Zhi's clan. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Jin was divided into three vassal states of Wei, Han and Zhao. At the same time, the emergence of Qi in the Tian Dynasty promoted the formation of the situation of the Seven Heroes in the Warring States, that is, Qin, Qi, Han, Wei, Zhao, Chu and Yan were juxtaposed.

During the Warring States period, the fierce contest between the seven heroes of the Warring States provided a big stage for the emergence of famous men. However, for the future of the Warring States, many of them didn't get an ending because of Gao Zhen's works. For example, in the war between the Five Kingdoms and the Qi State, Le Yi was suspected by the Yan State because of his outstanding exploits, and was forced to leave the Yan State and go to Zhao State. After Le Yi, Tian Chan successfully restored Qi. Tian Chan, who has made outstanding achievements in military service, also left Qi for Zhao because of suspicion. As for Li Mu, the famous soldier of Zhao, he was also killed by Zhao because of the double spy of Qin. Then, the question is, Gao Zhen is also a master of merit. Why was Tian Lei forced to commit suicide, but Wang Jian was able to die well?

First of all, making contributions is an idiom in China, which means that the monarch's position is threatened and he has doubts. From Historical Records Biography of Huaiyin Hou. In this regard, Records of the Historian Biography of Huaiyin Hou recorded that Wen Yong, the minister, was a great shock to the master's health, but those who made contributions to the world did not enjoy it. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Gao Zhen's master Han Xin did not get a happy ending. However, before Han Xin, two military commanders, Tian Lei and Wang Jian, who were the masters of Gao Zhen, were forced to commit suicide, while the other retired. In this regard, in my opinion, as a famous military commander of Qin State, the reasons for the completely different endings of Bai Qi and Wang Jian are mainly divided into the following points. On the one hand, how to dispel the monarch's doubts is the key to the final outcome of the military commanders who have made great contributions to Gao Zhen. Among them, as far as Wang Jian is concerned, he clearly understands how to dispel the doubts of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin.

In the 22nd year of Qin Shihuang (225 BC), Ying Zheng, king of Qin, called his ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Chu. Wang Jian thinks that "it needs 600,000 people", while Li Xin thinks that "it only needs 200,000 people" to defeat Chu. The king of Qin was overjoyed and thought that Wang Jian was old and useless, so he sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to attack Chu with 200,000 troops, and Chu sent Xiang Yan to deal with 200,000 Qin Jun with 40 Wan Chu troops. Therefore, Wang Jian resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown. Soon after, the young Li Xin was defeated on the battlefield of Chu. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, took an express train to Fengyang, apologized to Wang Jian and promised to send more soldiers. Wang Jian set out with 600,000 troops.

In this regard, in my opinion, the reason why Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, did not agree to Wang Jian's request at first was because 600,000 troops were already all the elite troops of Qin. As a monarch, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, naturally felt uneasy about handing over these troops to a military commander. In other words, if the military commanders rebel, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, has no power to counter it. So although Li Xin lost the battle, Wang Jian knew that Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, still had doubts about himself. Therefore, when Wang Jian went to war, he asked the king of Qin to "invite Mei Tian's family to have a big pool" and "invite Tian Zhai to be his descendants"; Before I went through the customs, I asked Meitian five times in a row, and even my subordinates began to worry about whether it would be too much. However, Wang Jian's men are obviously not as superb as Wang Jian's emotional intelligence.

In this regard, Wang Jian finally showed his intention: the king of Qin was suspicious by nature, and now the soldiers of Qin are in his own hands. At this time, only by asking the king of Qin for a lot of things can he show that he has nothing but money, and can he dispel the doubts that the king of Qin is afraid of raising himself. In the 22nd year of Qin Shihuang (225 BC), Wang Jianling led the troops to attack Chu. The army has been on the border of Chu for a whole year, but it can't get out of the city wall. 600 thousand soldiers are hoarding and recovering. A year later, Wang Jian unexpectedly defeated the Chu army in World War I, and then successfully destroyed Chu. Before that, Wang Jian had led an army to destroy Zhao and Yan.

So obviously, after Chu was destroyed, Wang Jian's prestige and exploits were enough to shake Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. In this context, Wang Jian chose to abdicate, that is, he gave the relieving to Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, and abdicated himself. And this, nature is the answer that satisfies Ying Zheng and the king of Qin. In this regard, Ying Zheng, king of Qin, not only failed to embarrass Wang Jian, but continued to reuse his son Wang Ben. In this regard, in my opinion, if Wang Jian is greedy for power, not only will he not die, but Wang Jian's descendants are also likely to decline. However, now that Wang Jian has quickly retreated, the Wangs continue to gain the reuse of the Qin Dynasty. For example, after Wang Jian and Wang Ben, Wang Li continued to play for Qin and became a famous soldier at the end of Qin Dynasty.

On the other hand, there is no wisdom and emotional intelligence like Wang Jian. After the Battle of Changping, Tian Lei's prestige and exploits in Qin also threatened Zhao Xiang's position as the monarch of Qin. After the Battle of Changping, Zhao Haoqi decided to launch the Battle of Handan, ready to wipe out Zhao at one fell swoop. In this context, Zhao Haoqi is ready to let Bai Qi command Zhao Jun. However, he said to him, "Handan is really not easy to attack. If the vassals help, they will send troops within one day. The princes hated Qin for a long time. Today, although the Zhao army was defeated by Changping, more than half of the casualties were lost. Our army is far away from rivers and mountains to compete for other people's capitals. If Zhao fights from the inside and the princes coordinate from the outside, he will be defeated. Therefore, we cannot send troops to attack Zhao. "

Finally, in 257 BC, Qin was defeated in the Battle of Handan. When Bai Hou learned the news, he said, "At the beginning, the king of Qin didn't listen to my plan. What is the result? " Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, was furious and forced Tian Lei to send troops. Tian Lei claimed that he was seriously ill, but he still refused to accept the disease at Fan Ju's request. Due to illness, Tian Lei did not leave immediately. Three months later, Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, ordered him to leave immediately and not to stay. Tian Lei had to get sick and go to Duyou (now Renjiazui Village, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, discussed with Fan Ju that Tian Lei was too slow to obey orders. "His intention is discontented, and there is more to say." He sent an emissary to give him a sword to kill himself. Therefore, it is obvious that when Wang Jian also learned the news of the defeat, he did not gloat, but expressed the irony in his words, that is, Qin did not listen to his own strategy and lost himself. And this, naturally let the king of Qin would face.

At the same time, for the sake of arrogant Tian Lei, he also made enemies with Fan Ju, the prime minister of Qin, which prompted Fan Ju to fan the flames in front of Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin, and eventually led to Tian Lei being killed by Zhao Xiang, the king of Qin. To a certain extent, after Tian Lei made great achievements for the State of Qin, he obviously gradually became arrogant, that is, he thought that he had an irreplaceable position in the State of Qin, so he talked nonsense and eventually brought about his own destruction. It is worth noting that after Tian Lei, there were still many military commanders who contributed to Gao Zhen's work and made similar mistakes. For example, after the destruction of Shu Han, Wargo became proud. Because of his wild words, Zhong Hui and others caught him and finally paid the price of his life. What do you think of this?
