Assassins have existed since ancient times, and today I would like to talk about two famous assassins in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, namely Jing Ke and Zhuan Zhu. Among these two assassins, although Jing Ke's fame was relatively large.
However, he was a loser, and although his fame was not as good as jingke's, he was successful in assassination and rewrote history. It is not difficult for us to find out about the assassination process of Zhuan zhu and Jing Ke.
Jing Ke killed the defenseless Qin King Yingzheng, while the single-minded Wu King was killed. So he was able to kill the defenseful Wu Wang, and wei he and Jing Ke could not kill the unsuspecting King of Qin? There are three main reasons for this.
Before explaining the reason, let's briefly introduce the assassination process of Zhuanzhu and Jingke. Regarding Jing Ke, it was mainly for the life of Prince Dan of Yan, who had been a hostage in the Qin State for several years, and he knew that the King of Qin had the intention of destroying the Six Kingdoms to unify the world, so as soon as he returned to the Yan Kingdom, he began to plan assassinations, and finally selected Jing Ke.
Prince Yan was not thin to Jing Ke, eating and drinking well, rewarding a magnificent residence and a large number of beautiful women, it can be said that Jing Ke lived a period of leisure and happiness before dying.
And Zhuan Zhu himself was a pig killer, and finally was appreciated by Wu Wangguang. According to the order of succession of the State of Wu, it should be orderly, but the Wu King's staff seized the throne that should have belonged to Wu Wangguang, so Wu Wangguang had a murderous heart, and finally killed the Wu King's staff to become a famous monarch of the Wu state, and history was rewritten.
Before the assassination, both sides made full preparations, Jing Ke first killed the wanted general Fan Yuqi of the Qin State, and at the same time brought a city pool as a treasure contribution, while Prince Dan spent a lot of money to buy a sharp dagger and poisoned it.
In the whole process, because Fan Yuqi's head, the King of Qin, had no worries, and was happy because of the city, he then let Jing Ke open the map and say that everything was very smooth, as long as Jing Ke could stab the King of Qin with the dagger hidden in the map, he could complete the task.
The assassination was that Wu Wangguang prepared a Hongmen feast for Wu Wangfu, who loved to eat fish, so Wu Wangguang told Wu Wangguang that there was a good cook who could make fish at home, and the taste of the fish was extremely delicious, so he asked Wu Wangguan to come and taste it.
Before that, the only mother who could not be relieved hanged herself, and the only one who could not be relieved had no worries. After King Wu agreed, he only waited for the arrival of the day of the Hongmen Feast, and the person who dedicated himself to the fish was the one who offered the fish, and the weapon was hidden in the belly of the fish.
The endings of the two are not the same, Jing Ke stabbed Qin with a missed blow, giving the King of Qin the opportunity to run around the pillar, while the courtiers in the court had a doctor who smashed the medicine bag at Jing Ke to distract him, giving the King of Qin the opportunity to draw out his sword and cut off one of Jing Ke's legs, and then Jing Ke threw the dagger in his hand at the King of Qin.
However, the dagger was inserted into the pillar, and Jing Ke, who had no weapon in his hand, was subsequently killed. When he was offering fish, he took a weapon and stabbed Wu Wangzhi to death, and then was slashed and killed by Wu Wangzhi's soldiers, but the task was completed.
Similar beginnings are completely different endings, and there are three main reasons for failure, which are worth learning.
The first, Jing Ke and Zhuan Zhu as assassins, the quality is not the same, Jing Ke lost his hand twice, the first time let the King of Qin escape, the second time the dagger came out but lost his head, and The knife was killed, fast and accurate.
Second, the ability of the people assassinated is different, the King of Qin has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and has a certain strength, not to mention that when escaping, he chose the ring pillar and did not run in a straight line, so the King of Qin was very intelligent, and Jing Ke's opponent was very strong. And King Wu had little combat experience and no high wisdom, but was just a greedy king with no power to tie up chickens, and it was not difficult to kill him.
Third, the King of Qin was lucky, there was a Tai Doctor throwing medicine bags to distract Jing Ke's energy, and the guards of the Wu King's staff were relatively far away, and no one was as witty as the Tai Doctor, so no one could help the Wu King.
