Why didn't Nie Gai, known as the Great Sword Master during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, enter the top five killers?
Tai Shigong (Sima Qian) said: "From Cao Mo to Jing Ke, the five people had successes and failures in benevolence and righteousness, but their intentions were quite natural. They don't deceive their ambitions, and their names will be remembered for generations to come. How ridiculous! " There are Cao Mo, Yurang, Zhuzhu, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke. Although Cao Mo has a feat of hijacking Qi Huangong, his identity is not a professional assassin after all, so he will not be included in the following assassins.

Similarly, Nie Gai, who was known as the first swordsman in the world at that time (a real person in history, and also the prototype of Nie Gai in the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty), was known as the "great swordsman" by Jianghu people because of his superb swordsmanship. When Jing Ke was traveling, he talked with Nie Gai about fencing, only to be glared at by Nie Gai, and Jing Ke left angrily, showing the cultivation of the blade master. But Nie Gai was a swordsman by profession, not an assassin. Even though fencing is the best in the world, he still can't be classified as an assassin. In fact, the real five assassins in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period also included the departure of a strong man with a broken arm.

The worst assassin-Yu Jean stabbed Zhao Xiangzi.

Yu Rang, a native of the State of Jin at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, was originally a vassal of the State of Jin and later a vassal of the Bank of China, but none of them were known. It was not until he became a vassal of Zhi Bo that he was reused, and the relationship between his subjects was very close. Even though Zhi Bo was the strongest among the four clean-ups in the state of Jin at that time, he could not hold a fight. Finally, Zhao, Han and Wei destroyed the Zhi Bo family, and because they hated Zhi Bo, they painted his skull as a wine vessel. After Yurang fled to the mountains, he missed Zhi Bo's kindness and resented Zhao Xiangzi for making his head into lacquer ware. He vowed to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi and avenge Zhi Bo. The lame assassin was discovered before his first strike. Zhao Xiangzi thought he was an honest man, so he let him go, but this second action was very funny, and he was caught before he could show his sword. Jade let know there is no hope of survival, so let Zhao Xiangzi take off his clothes, let him symbolically assassinate him, and indulge in it. Zhao Xiangzi also admired his dedication to his bosom friend and agreed to this request. Before his death, Jade Jean successfully turned Zhao Xiangzi's clothes into blinds, which is the famous "Jade Jean Beating Clothes". Although Yurang is an unsuccessful assassin, famous sayings such as "A scholar dies as a bosom friend, a woman tolerates herself" and "If you treat me as a national scholar, I will repay him" all come from his allusions.

Zhuan Xu, the most common assassin, stabbed Liao Wang.

Zhuan Xu, a native of the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, lived in the wilderness of Yangshan. He used to be a butcher, but it happened that Wu Zixu lived here in seclusion and his fate changed. Wu Gongzi just wanted to stab his younger brother Wu Wangliao, so he came to visit Wu Zixu and asked him to recommend a warrior. Wu Zixu didn't think much, and immediately recommended Zhuan. The opportunity will come soon. And his son, Gongzi and his mother's brother, Yan Yuhe, who held the relieving power, all led troops to Chu. Zhuan Xu hid the fish intestine sword in the fish's stomach and finally succeeded in assassination. Gongzi Guang acceded to the throne immediately. This is the famous prince He Lv in history.

The most loyal assassin-leave Qing Ji.

Leave, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Wu were honored as the warriors of the world. When he left, he was thin, only five feet long and had a waist, but he had the courage of ten thousand people. He is a famous swordsman and resourceful. After Wu Wangliao's death, He Lv was in charge, and his son Qing Ji fled to Ai City to recruit the dead, hoping to find He Lv for revenge. In the face of the stolen throne, He Lv is also worried day and night that his son Qing Ji will regain the throne. At this time, Wu Zixu suggested to He Lv to stay and assassinate Qing Ji, and offered suggestions for He Lv to destroy his family, in order to gain the trust of Qing Ji, and finally succeeded in assassinating Qing Ji. The historical allusion "the broken arm of a strong man" also comes from this. It can be said that Zhuan Xu and his separation made He Lv, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The most affectionate assassin-Nie Zheng stabbed Xia Lei to death.

Nie Zheng, a knight in the Warring States period, was a South Korean, and his ancestral home was Shenjing, Jidi. Because he offended the village, he took his mother and sister to live in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. At that time, Dr. Han Yan and Xia Lei of Han Guo Xiang became enemies. After hearing about Nie Zheng's chivalrous name, he knew that Nie Zheng was a dutiful son, so he took out a large sum of money to celebrate his mother's birthday and made friends with Nie Zheng. The purpose, of course, is to hope that Nie Zheng can get rid of Xia Lei for himself. After mourning for his mother's death for three years, Nie Zheng remembered Yan Sui's kindness and friendship and went to Hanyu Yangzhai (now Yuzhou) alone. With the help of Bai Hong, he assassinated Xia Lei under the steps, and then killed dozens of Xia Lei's guards. But it was such a chivalrous man with superb martial arts who cut his cheek with the tip of his sword, gouged out his eyes, and finally died of a broken abdomen.

The most tragic assassin-Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin.

Jing Ke, surnamed Jiang, was a patriot at the end of the Warring States Period. He was also a famous assassin in the Warring States period and a descendant of the doctor of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. Jing Ke loved reading and fencing since childhood, and he was generous and chivalrous. Then he was asked by Yan Taizi Dan to assassinate the king of Qin. Because he was hit by Xia's innocent medicine bag, he was killed by the sword of the king of Qin. Even if the assassination ended in failure, his story is a household name in China. When Prince Taizi Dan, Gao Jianli and other friends saw Jing Ke off in Yishui, Jing Ke sang a famous poem, "The wind blows and the water cools, and a strong man is gone forever". According to historical records, Jing Ke was waiting for something and wanted to keep pace with the world. He lives far away from the future, but he wants to stay. It hasn't arrived yet, but the prince is late. Doubting that he had regretted it, he asked, "The days are numbered. Does Jing Qing have no intention? " Dan, please ask Qin Wuyang to move forward! "From the point of this description before the departure of Jing Ke, it seems that Jing Ke is still waiting for someone. Rumor has it that Jing Ke is waiting for Nie Gai. He wants to kill the king of Qin with Nie Gai, but he can wait and wait. Before Nie Gai came, Taizi Dan was afraid that Jing Ke would go back on his word, so he urged him to set out to kill the king of Qin. Before Jing Ke from Nie Gai could enter Xianyang with Qin Wuyang, both of them were killed.

Here, by the way, I would also like to mention Jing Ke's good friend Gao Jianli. Gao Jianli was honored as a "sage of music" by later generations, and his teacher was Han E, who had been lingering for three days. After Qin swept Liuhe to unify China, the king of Qin knew that Gao Jianli's hammering level was world-class, so he recruited him into the palace. But the king of Qin knew about his relationship with Jing Ke and was afraid that he would murder himself, so he blindfolded himself. But it was such a seemingly useless blind man who secretly poured lead into the building and looked for an opportunity to attack the king of Qin. Unfortunately, he failed and died with Jing Ke after being assassinated.
