Qin Huiwen annihilated Shu, and Qin annihilated the battle of Bashu

Shu was a big country in the south of Qin, just like Sima Cuo said, it was still the leader of Rong and Di, and at that time there were Ba, Dan, Li, Tho, Dian and other countries in the southwest region, among which Shu was the largest. The Tang Dynasty's "Righteous Collection of Explanations" and "Chronicles of the Kuodi" were all influenced by the local chronicles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "Huayang Guozhi", and stories such as "The Golden Ox Cutting Shu" were recorded as history. However, "Huayang National Chronicles" also recorded some credible historical materials, such as "The King of Shu sealed his younger brother in Hanzhong, called Hou Hou".

At that time, Hanzhong of Qin was indeed occupied by Shu, and the book recorded that the Hou Hou united with Ba and was defeated by the King of Shu and fled to Ba State, asking for help from Qin, which cannot be determined.

The "Historical Records" only records that Shu and Tho attacked each other, and they all came to the Qin State to complain, and then there was a famous debate in the history of the Qin State, Zhang Yi advocated attacking South Korea and opposing the dispatch of troops to Shu, and Sima Cuo advocated attacking Shu, and explained: "Shu is in turmoil, we occupy the world, and people will not think that we are cruel, and people will not think that it is greed, it is a name and a reality, and there is a reputation for pacifying the brutality, which is more favorable than attacking Korea and robbing the Son of Heaven." ”

In the end, King Qin Hui agreed with Sima Cuo's opinion and used troops against Shu. Sima Cuo's command of the pacification of Shu is not recorded in detail in the history books, Zhang Shoujie's "Justice Collection" selected the "Huayang National Chronicles" Zhang Yi commanded and commanded the historical materials of the war to destroy Shu, but only said that the king of Shu was chased and killed by Zhang Yi in Wuyang, and did not say that Sima Cuo cut down Shu at all, these are not credible, and the attack on Shu should be commanded by Sima Cuo.

The Historical Records record that Sima Cuo pacified Shu in October 316 before the ninth year of King Hui of Qin, and the King of Shu was not killed by Zhang Yi as stated in the "Huayang National Chronicles", but was demoted to Hou by Qin, and it was not until two years later, eleven years, that the original King of Shu was replaced by Qin Gongzitong and served as the Marquis of Shu. There is no record in the "Historical Records" that Zhang Yi's role in the war against Shu. As a Xiangguo, Zhang Yi is a famous columnist, outstanding diplomatic talents, not a military strategist, and opposed to the attack on Shu, King Qin Hui will not let him be the commander, but it is not ruled out that Zhang Yi presided over the surrender ceremony after the war.

<> "The Battle of Qin's Annihilation of Bashu (316 BC - 316 BC)The Battle of Qin's Annihilation of Bashu took place in 316 BC and was a war in which Qin conquered Shu and Ba during the Warring States Period.

The Qin State destroyed the Ba State and the Shu State, expanded its territory to the southwest, and achieved the three goals of Sima Cuo's initial crusade against the Shu State: "Wide Land", "Rich Country", and "Strong Army".

In addition, the Qin State also removed the troubles of the Six Kingdoms from the Guanguan, and the Ba and Shu became the bases for the crusade against the Chu State from the southwest, and the Chu State could be led from the waterway to the Chu State, which had a great impact on the subsequent Battle of Guizhou and the Battle of Yanying.

Because of the beautiful environment of Bashu, there are many fertile fields and mineral resources that can bring a lot of benefits to the country.

The agricultural value of the Bashu region is very high, and the annexation of Bashu represents the expansion of their territory and the economic and political development of a level.

Both Ba and Shu participated in the war of King Wu of Zhou. Ba people have the famous "Bayu Dance" and "Song and Dance to Ling Yin People". After King Wu Keyin, he was named the son of the Emperor Yu Bajue, and probably founded the country in the upper reaches of the Han River.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ba had contacts with neighboring countries such as Lu, Deng, Shen, and Chu, and also had marriage relations with Chu. However, it was later merged by Chu as Chu Hanzhong County. In the Fuling area in the east of present-day Chongqing, there was also a citrus at that time, which was destroyed in Chu in the late Warring States period.

After Qin destroyed Shu, he also destroyed Ba, which established the capital Jiangzhou (now Chongqing). Later, he seized a large area of Ba land from Chu and established Ba County.

The battle of Qin to destroy Bashu. In the fifth year of King Shenliang of Zhou (316 BC), Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo of Qin led an army to defeat Ba (now eastern Sichuan) and Shu (now western Sichuan).
