卷四十五·韩世家第十五
司马迁
韩之先与周同姓，姓姬氏。其后苗裔事晋，得封于韩原，曰韩武子。武子后三世有韩厥，从封姓为韩氏。
韩厥，晋景公之三年，晋司寇屠岸贾将作乱，诛灵公之贼赵盾。赵盾已死矣，欲诛其子赵朔。韩厥止贾，贾不听。厥告赵朔令亡。朔曰：“子必能不绝赵祀，死不恨矣。”韩厥许之。及贾诛赵氏，厥称疾不出。程婴、公孙杵臼之藏赵孤赵武也，厥知之。
景公十一年，厥与郤克将兵八百乘伐齐，败齐顷公于鞍，获逢丑父。于是晋作六卿，而韩厥在一卿之位，号为献子。
晋景公十七年，病，卜大业之不遂者为祟。韩厥称赵成季之功，今后无祀，以感景公。景公问曰：“尚有世乎？”厥于是言赵武，而复与故赵氏田邑，续赵氏祀。
晋悼公之七年，韩献子老。献子卒，子宣子代。宣子徙居州。
晋平公十四年，吴季札使晋，曰：“晋国之政卒归于韩、魏、赵矣。”晋顷公十二年，韩宣子与赵、魏共分祁氏、羊舌氏十县。晋定公十五年，宣子与赵简子侵伐范、中行氏。宣子卒，子贞子代立。贞子徙居平阳。
贞子卒，子简子代。简子卒，子庄子代。庄子卒，子康子代。康子与赵襄子、魏桓子共败知伯，分其地，地益大，大于诸侯。
康子卒，子武子代。武子二年，伐郑，杀其君幽公。十六年，武子卒，子景侯立。
景侯虔元年，伐郑，取雍丘。二年，郑败我负黍。
六年，与赵、魏俱得列为诸侯。
九年，郑围我阳翟。景侯卒，子列侯取立。
列侯三年，聂政杀韩相侠累。九年，秦伐我宜阳，取六邑。十三年，列侯卒，子文侯立。是岁魏文侯卒。
文侯二年，伐郑，取阳城。伐宋，到彭城，执宋君。七年，伐齐，至桑丘。郑反晋。九年，伐齐，至灵丘。十年，文侯卒，子哀侯立。
哀侯元年，与赵、魏分晋国。二年，灭郑，因徙都郑。
六年，韩严弑其君哀侯。而子懿侯立。
懿侯二年，魏败我马陵。五年，与魏惠王会宅阳。九年，魏败我浍。十二年，懿侯卒，子昭侯立。
昭侯元年，秦败我西山。二年，宋取我黄池。魏取朱。六年，伐东周，取陵观、邢丘。
八年，申不害相韩，脩术行道，国内以治，诸侯不来侵伐。
十年，韩姬弑其君悼公。十一年，昭侯如秦。二十二年，申不害死。二十四年，秦来拔我宜阳。
二十五年，旱，作高门。屈宜臼曰：“昭侯不出此门。何也？不时。吾所谓时者，非时日也，人固有利不利时。昭侯尝利矣，不作高门。往年秦拔宜阳，今年旱，昭侯不以此时卹民之急，而顾益奢，此谓‘时绌举赢’。”二十六年，高门成，昭侯卒，果不出此门。子宣惠王立。
宣惠王五年，张仪相秦。八年，魏败我将韩举。十一年，君号为王。与赵会区鼠。十四年，秦伐败我鄢。
十六年，秦败我脩鱼，虏得韩将<鱼叟>、申差于浊泽。韩氏急，公仲谓韩王曰：“与国非可恃也。今秦之欲伐楚久矣，王不如因张仪为和于秦，赂以一名都，具甲，与之南伐楚，此以一易二之计也。”韩王曰：“善。”乃警公仲之行，将西购于秦。楚王闻之大恐，召陈轸告之。陈轸曰：“秦之欲伐楚久矣，今又得韩之名都一而具甲，秦韩并兵而伐楚，此秦所祷祀而求也。今已得之矣，楚国必伐矣。王听臣为之警四境之内，起师言救韩，命战车满道路，发信臣，多其车，重其币，使信王之救己也。纵韩不能听我，韩必德王也，必不为雁行以来，是秦韩不和也，兵虽至，楚不大病也。为能听我绝和于秦，秦必大怒，以厚怨韩。韩之南交楚，必轻秦；轻秦，其应秦必不敬：是因秦、韩之兵而免楚国之患也。”楚王曰：“善。”乃警四境之内，兴师言救韩。命战车满道路，发信臣，多其车，重其币。谓韩王曰：“不谷国虽小，已悉发之矣。愿大国遂肆志于秦，不谷将以楚殉韩。”韩王闻之大说，乃止公仲之行。公仲曰：“不可。夫以实伐我者秦也，以虚名救我者楚也。王恃楚之虚名，而轻绝强秦之敌，王必为天下大笑。且楚韩非兄弟之国也，又非素约而谋伐秦也。已有伐形，因发兵言救韩，此必陈轸之谋也。且王已使人报于秦矣，今不行，是欺秦也。夫轻欺强秦而信楚之谋臣，恐王必悔之。”韩王不听，遂绝于秦。秦因大怒，益甲伐韩，大战，楚救不至韩。十九年，大破我岸门。太子仓质于秦以和。
二十一年，与秦共攻楚，败楚将屈丐，斩首八万于丹阳。是岁，宣惠王卒，太子仓立，是为襄王。
襄王四年，与秦武王会临晋。其秋，秦使甘茂攻我宜阳。五年，秦拔我宜阳，斩首六万。秦武王卒。六年，秦复与我武遂。九年，秦复取我武遂。十年，太子婴朝秦而归。十一年，秦伐我，取穰。与秦伐楚，败楚将唐眛。
十二年，太子婴死。公子咎、公子虮虱争为太子。时虮虱质于楚。苏代谓韩咎曰：“虮虱亡在楚，楚王欲内之甚。今楚兵十余万在方城之外，公何不令楚王筑万室之都雍氏之旁，韩必起兵以救之，公必将矣。公因以韩楚之兵奉虮虱而内之，其听公必矣，必以楚韩封公也。”韩咎从其计。
楚围雍氏，韩求救于秦。秦未为发，使公孙昧入韩。公仲曰：“子以秦为且救韩乎？”对曰：“秦王之言曰‘请道南郑、蓝田，出兵于楚以待公’，殆不合矣。”公仲曰：“子以为果乎？”对曰：“秦王必祖张仪之故智。楚威王攻梁也，张仪谓秦王曰：‘与楚攻魏，魏折而入于楚，韩固其与国也，是秦孤也。不如出兵以到之，魏楚大战，秦取西河之外以归。’今其状阳言与韩，其实阴善楚。公待秦而到，必轻与楚战。楚阴得秦之不用也，必易与公相支也。公战而胜楚，遂与公乘楚，施三川而归。公战不胜楚，楚塞三川守之，公不能救也。窃为公患之。司马庚三反于郢，甘茂与昭鱼遇于商于，其言收玺，实类有约也。”公仲恐，曰：“然则柰何？”曰：“公必先韩而后秦，先身而后张仪。公不如亟以国合于齐楚，齐楚必委国于公。公之所恶者张仪也，其实犹不无秦也。”于是楚解雍氏围。
苏代又谓秦太后弟芈戎曰：“公叔伯婴恐秦楚之内虮虱也，公何不为韩求质子于楚？楚王听入质子于韩，则公叔伯婴知秦楚之不以虮虱为事，必以韩合于秦楚。秦楚挟韩以窘魏，魏氏不敢合于齐，是齐孤也。公又为秦求质子于楚，楚不听，怨结于韩。韩挟齐魏以围楚，楚必重公。公挟秦楚之重以积德于韩，公叔伯婴必以国待公。”于是虮虱竟不得归韩。韩立咎为太子。齐、魏王来。
十四年，与齐、魏王共击秦，至函谷而军焉。十六年，秦与我河外及武遂。襄王卒，太子咎立，是为釐王。
釐王三年，使公孙喜率周、魏攻秦。秦败我二十四万，虏喜伊阙。五年，秦拔我宛。六年，与秦武遂地二百里。十年，秦败我师于夏山。十二年，与秦昭王会西周而佐秦攻齐。齐败，湣王出亡。十四年，与秦会两周间。二十一年，使暴□ 救魏，为秦所败，□ 走开封。
二十三年，赵、魏攻我华阳。韩告急于秦，秦不救。韩相国谓陈筮曰：“事急，愿公虽病，为一宿之行。”陈筮见穰侯。穰侯曰：“事急乎？故使公来。”陈筮曰：“未急也。”穰侯怒曰：“是可以为公之主使乎？夫冠盖相望，告敝邑甚急，公来言未急，何也？”陈筮曰：“彼韩急则将变而佗从，以未急，故复来耳。”穰侯曰：“公无见王，请今发兵救韩。”八日而至，败赵、魏于华阳之下。是岁，釐王卒，子桓惠王立。
桓惠王元年，伐燕。九年，秦拔我陉，城汾旁。十年，秦击我于太行，我上党郡守以上党郡降赵。十四年，秦拔赵上党，杀马服子卒四十余万于长平。十七年，秦拔我阳城、负黍。二十二年，秦昭王卒。二十四年，秦拔我城皋、荥阳。二十六年，秦悉拔我上党。二十九年，秦拔我十三城。
三十四年，桓惠王卒，子王安立。
王安五年，秦攻韩，韩急，使韩非使秦，秦留非，因杀之。
九年，秦虏王安，尽入其地，为颍州郡。韩遂亡。
太史公曰：韩厥之感晋景公，绍赵孤之子武，以成程婴、公孙杵臼之义，此天下之阴德也。韩氏之功，于晋未睹其大者也。然与赵、魏终为诸侯十余世，宜乎哉！
Volume 45 · The Hereditary House of Han, Fifteenth
司马迁
The ancestors of Han were of the same surname as Zhou, the Ji clan. A distant offshoot of theirs afterwards served Jin and got an enfeoffment at Hanyuan, and was called Wuzi of Han. Three generations after Wuzi there was Han Jue, who took his surname from the enfeoffment and was of the Han clan.
Han Jue: in Duke Jing of Jin's third year the Jin Minister of Justice Tu'an Gu was about to make trouble, and to put to death Zhao Dun as the culprit against Duke Ling. Zhao Dun was dead already, and he wished to put his son Zhao Shuo to death. Han Jue tried to stop Gu, and Gu would not listen. Jue told Zhao Shuo to flee. Shuo said: "If you can certainly keep the sacrifices of Zhao from being cut off, I shall die without regret." Han Jue promised him. And when Gu put the Zhao clan to death, Jue pleaded illness and did not go out. When Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu hid the Zhao orphan Zhao Wu, Jue knew of it.
In Duke Jing's eleventh year Jue with Xi Ke led troops, eight hundred chariots, and attacked Qi, and defeated Duke Qing of Qi at An and captured Feng Choufu. Thereupon Jin made six ministers, and Han Jue was in the place of one of them, styled Xianzi.
In Duke Jing of Jin's seventeenth year he was ill, and they divined: the posterity of Daye who had not prospered was the source of the curse. Han Jue spoke of the merits of Zhao Chengji and of his having now no posterity to sacrifice, and so moved Duke Jing. Duke Jing asked: "Is there still a line?" Jue thereupon spoke of Zhao Wu, and the old fields and towns of the Zhao clan were given back, and the sacrifices of the Zhao clan continued.
In Duke Dao of Jin's seventh year Xianzi of Han retired in old age. Xianzi died, and his son Xuanzi took his place. Xuanzi moved his dwelling to Zhou.
In Duke Ping of Jin's fourteenth year Jizha of Wu came on a mission to Jin and said: "The government of the state of Jin will in the end go to Han, Wei and Zhao." In Duke Qing of Jin's twelfth year Xuanzi of Han with Zhao and Wei divided the ten counties of the Qi clan and the Yangshe clan. In Duke Ding of Jin's fifteenth year Xuanzi with Zhao Jianzi encroached on and attacked the Fan and Zhonghang clans. Xuanzi died, and his son Zhenzi took his place. Zhenzi moved his dwelling to Pingyang.
Zhenzi died, and his son Jianzi took his place. Jianzi died, and his son Zhuangzi took his place. Zhuangzi died, and his son Kangzi took his place. Kangzi with Zhao Xiangzi and Wei Huanzi together defeated the Earl of Zhi and divided his lands, and their land grew greater, greater than the feudal lords'.
Kangzi died, and his son Wuzi took his place. In Wuzi's second year he attacked Zheng and killed its lord Duke You. In the sixteenth year Wuzi died, and his son Marquis Jing was set up.
In Marquis Jing Qian's first year he attacked Zheng and took Yongqiu. In the second year Zheng defeated us at Fushu.
In the sixth year with Zhao and Wei he was together ranked as a feudal lord.
In the ninth year Zheng besieged our Yangzhai. Marquis Jing died, and his son Marquis Lie, Qu, was set up.
In Marquis Lie's third year Nie Zheng killed the Han chancellor Xia Lei. In the ninth year Qin attacked our Yiyang and took six towns. In the thirteenth year Marquis Lie died, and his son Marquis Wen was set up. In that year Marquis Wen of Wei died.
In Marquis Wen's second year he attacked Zheng and took Yangcheng. He attacked Song, reached Pengcheng and seized the lord of Song. In the seventh year he attacked Qi and reached Sangqiu. Zheng turned against Jin. In the ninth year he attacked Qi and reached Lingqiu. In the tenth year Marquis Wen died, and his son Marquis Ai was set up.
In Marquis Ai's first year with Zhao and Wei he divided up the state of Jin. In the second year he destroyed Zheng, and accordingly moved his capital to Zheng.
In the sixth year Han Yan murdered his lord Marquis Ai. And his son Marquis Yi was set up.
In Marquis Yi's second year Wei defeated us at Maling. In the fifth year he met King Hui of Wei at Zhaiyang. In the ninth year Wei defeated us at the Hui. In the twelfth year Marquis Yi died, and his son Marquis Zhao was set up.
In Marquis Zhao's first year Qin defeated us at the Western Hills. In the second year Song took our Huangchi. Wei took Zhu. In the sixth year he attacked Eastern Zhou and took Lingguan and Xingqiu.
In the eighth year Shen Buhai was chancellor of Han; he cultivated method and practised the Way, the state within was thereby well governed, and the feudal lords did not come to encroach or attack.
In the tenth year Han Ji murdered his lord Duke Dao. In the eleventh year Marquis Zhao went to Qin. In the twenty-second year Shen Buhai died. In the twenty-fourth year Qin came and took our Yiyang.
In the twenty-fifth year there was drought, and he built a high gate. Qu Yijiu said: "Marquis Zhao will not go out by this gate. Why? It is out of season. What I call season is not the season of days; a man has seasons that favour him and seasons that do not. Marquis Zhao once had a favourable season, and he did not build a high gate. Last year Qin took Yiyang; this year there is drought; and Marquis Zhao does not take this season to relieve the people's urgent need but instead grows more extravagant. This is what is called 'in a lean season launching a lavish work.'" In the twenty-sixth year the high gate was finished, and Marquis Zhao died, and he did indeed not go out by that gate. His son King Xuanhui was set up.
In King Xuanhui's fifth year Zhang Yi was chancellor of Qin. In the eighth year Wei defeated our general Han Ju. In the eleventh year the lord took the style of king. He met Zhao at Qushu. In the fourteenth year Qin attacked and defeated us at Yan.
In the sixteenth year Qin defeated us at Xiuyu and took prisoner the Han generals <鱼叟> and Shen Cha at Zhuoze. The Han clan was hard pressed, and Gongzhong said to the King of Han: "Allies are not to be relied on. Now Qin has long wished to attack Chu; my lord had better use Zhang Yi to make peace with Qin, bribe them with one famous city, prepare our armour, and go south with them to attack Chu: this is a plan of exchanging one for two." The King of Han said: "Good." And he gave notice of Gongzhong's setting out, to go west and buy terms with Qin. The King of Chu heard of it and was greatly alarmed, and summoned Chen Zhen and told him. Chen Zhen said: "Qin has long wished to attack Chu, and now it gets besides one famous city of Han and has its armour prepared; for Qin and Han to join arms and attack Chu is what Qin has prayed and sacrificed to obtain. Now it has obtained it, and the state of Chu will surely be attacked. Let my lord hear his servant: give notice within the four borders and raise a host, saying it is to rescue Han; order the war chariots to fill the roads; send out a trusted minister, with many chariots and heavy gifts, so as to make Han believe that my lord is rescuing them. Even if Han cannot heed us, Han will surely be grateful to my lord, and will surely not come in the flying-goose line; and that means Qin and Han are not at one, and though their troops come, Chu will not be greatly hurt. And if Han can heed us and break off its peace with Qin, Qin will surely be greatly enraged and will bear a deep grudge against Han. Han, making friends with Chu to the south, will surely make light of Qin; making light of Qin, it will surely not answer Qin respectfully: this is to use the troops of Qin and Han to be quit of the state of Chu's trouble." The King of Chu said: "Good." And he gave notice within the four borders and raised a host, saying it was to rescue Han. He ordered the war chariots to fill the roads, and sent out a trusted minister with many chariots and heavy gifts. He said to the King of Han: "Though the unworthy one's state is small, it has already sent out all its forces. I should like the great state to carry out its will against Qin, and the unworthy one will follow Han to the death with Chu." The King of Han heard it and was greatly delighted, and so stopped Gongzhong's going. Gongzhong said: "It cannot be. The one who attacks us in substance is Qin; the one who rescues us with an empty name is Chu. If my lord relies on Chu's empty name and lightly breaks with a strong Qin for an enemy, my lord will surely be the laughing-stock of the empire. And Chu and Han are not brother states, nor did they beforehand agree and plan to attack Qin. There was already the shape of an attack, and thereupon they sent out troops saying it was to rescue Han: this must be Chen Zhen's scheme. And my lord has already sent men to report to Qin; not to go now is to cheat Qin. To make light of cheating a strong Qin and to trust Chu's schemer — I fear my lord will surely repent it." The King of Han would not listen, and thereupon broke with Qin. Qin accordingly was greatly enraged and increased its armour and attacked Han, and there was a great battle, and Chu's rescue did not reach Han. In the nineteenth year they greatly broke us at Anmen. The heir apparent Cang was made hostage in Qin for peace.
In the twenty-first year with Qin he attacked Chu together and defeated the Chu general Qu Gai, cutting off eighty thousand heads at Danyang. In that year King Xuanhui died, and the heir apparent Cang was set up: this was King Xiang.
In King Xiang's fourth year he met King Wu of Qin at Linjin. That autumn Qin sent Gan Mao to attack our Yiyang. In the fifth year Qin took our Yiyang, cutting off sixty thousand heads. King Wu of Qin died. In the sixth year Qin gave us Wusui back. In the ninth year Qin took our Wusui again. In the tenth year the heir apparent Ying paid court in Qin and came home. In the eleventh year Qin attacked us and took Rang. With Qin he attacked Chu and defeated the Chu general Tang Mo.
In the twelfth year the heir apparent Ying died. Prince Jiu and Prince Jishi contended to be heir apparent. At the time Jishi was hostage in Chu. Su Dai said to Han Jiu: "Jishi is a fugitive in Chu, and the King of Chu is most eager to bring him in. Now Chu's troops, ten thousand and more, are beyond Fangcheng; why do you not get the King of Chu to build a town of ten thousand houses beside Yongshi? Han will surely raise troops to rescue it, and you will surely be the general. You may then with the troops of Han and Chu take up Jishi and bring him in, and he will certainly heed you, and will certainly enfeoff you with Chu and Han." Han Jiu followed his plan.
Chu besieged Yongshi, and Han asked rescue of Qin. Qin had not yet sent it out, and sent Gongsun Mei into Han. Gongzhong said: "Do you take it that Qin will rescue Han?" He answered: "The King of Qin's words were, 'Let me go by way of Nanzheng and Lantian and send troops out into Chu to wait for you' — it is likely they will not join up." Gongzhong said: "Do you take that for certain?" He answered: "The King of Qin will surely take Zhang Yi's old cunning for his model. When King Wei of Chu attacked Liang, Zhang Yi said to the King of Qin: 'If we join Chu in attacking Wei, Wei will bend and go over to Chu, and Han is Chu's ally in any case, and then Qin stands alone. Better to send out troops to draw it out; let Wei and Chu fight a great battle, and Qin will take the lands beyond the Western He and go home.' Now the shape of it is that he openly speaks of siding with Han and in fact secretly favours Chu. If you wait for Qin and are drawn out, you will surely fight Chu lightly. Chu, secretly getting to know that Qin is not being used, will surely find it easy to hold out against you. If you fight and beat Chu, he will then ride upon Chu along with you, spread out over the Three Chuan and go home. If you fight and do not beat Chu, Chu will block the Three Chuan and hold them, and you will not be able to save it. I privately fear for you. Sima Geng has gone back and forth three times to Ying, and Gan Mao met with Zhao Yu at Shangyu, and their talk of taking back a seal in fact looks like there being an agreement." Gongzhong was afraid and said: "Then what is to be done?" He said: "You must put Han first and Qin second, put yourself first and Zhang Yi second. You had better quickly join your state with Qi and Chu, and Qi and Chu will surely entrust their states to you. The one you hate is Zhang Yi; in fact you would still not be without Qin." Thereupon Chu lifted the siege of Yongshi.
Su Dai also said to Mi Rong, the younger brother of the Queen Dowager of Qin: "Gongshu Boying fears that Qin and Chu will bring Jishi in; why do you not on Han's behalf ask Chu for a hostage son? If the King of Chu heeds you and sends a hostage son into Han, then Gongshu Boying will know that Qin and Chu do not make Jishi their business, and will surely join Han with Qin and Chu. Qin and Chu, holding Han, will press Wei hard, and the Wei clan will not dare join with Qi, and then Qi stands alone. And if you then on Qin's behalf ask Chu for a hostage son, and Chu does not heed it, the grudge is knotted with Han; and Han, holding Qi and Wei, will surround Chu, and Chu will surely give you weight. And you, holding the weight of Qin and Chu, will pile up merit with Han, and Gongshu Boying will surely wait upon you with his state." Thereupon Jishi in the end could not come home to Han. Han set up Jiu as heir apparent. The kings of Qi and Wei came.
In the fourteenth year with the kings of Qi and Wei he struck at Qin together, and reached Hangu and encamped there. In the sixteenth year Qin gave us the lands beyond the He and Wusui. King Xiang died, and the heir apparent Jiu was set up: this was King Xi.
In King Xi's third year he sent Gongsun Xi to lead Zhou and Wei in attacking Qin. Qin defeated us, two hundred and forty thousand, and took Xi prisoner at Yique. In the fifth year Qin took our Wan. In the sixth year he gave Qin the Wusui lands, two hundred li. In the tenth year Qin defeated our host at Mount Xia. In the twelfth year he met King Zhao of Qin at Western Zhou and aided Qin in attacking Qi. Qi was defeated, and King Min fled out. In the fourteenth year he met Qin between the two Zhous. In the twenty-first year he sent Bao □ to rescue Wei; they were defeated by Qin, and □ ran to Kaifeng.
In the twenty-third year Zhao and Wei attacked our Huayang. Han appealed urgently to Qin, and Qin did not rescue it. The chancellor of state of Han said to Chen Shi: "The matter is urgent; though you are ill, sir, I should like you to make a single night's journey." Chen Shi saw the Marquis of Rang. The Marquis of Rang said: "Is the matter urgent? That is why you have been sent." Chen Shi said: "It is not urgent yet." The Marquis of Rang was angry and said: "Is this how you can be your master's envoy? Cap and canopy have been within sight of one another, telling our poor town it was most urgent, and you come and say it is not urgent — why?" Chen Shi said: "If Han were hard pressed, it would change and follow another; it is because it is not yet pressed that I have come again." The Marquis of Rang said: "You need not see the king; let troops be sent out now to rescue Han." In eight days they arrived, and defeated Zhao and Wei below Huayang. In that year King Xi died, and his son King Huanhui was set up.
In King Huanhui's first year he attacked Yan. In the ninth year Qin took our Xing and walled the banks of the Fen. In the tenth year Qin struck at us at the Taihang, and our governor of Shangdang commandery surrendered Shangdang commandery to Zhao. In the fourteenth year Qin took Zhao's Shangdang and killed the son of the Lord of Mafu and forty thousand and more of his men at Changping. In the seventeenth year Qin took our Yangcheng and Fushu. In the twenty-second year King Zhao of Qin died. In the twenty-fourth year Qin took our Chenggao and Xingyang. In the twenty-sixth year Qin took the whole of our Shangdang. In the twenty-ninth year Qin took thirteen of our cities.
In the thirty-fourth year King Huanhui died, and his son King An was set up.
In King An's fifth year Qin attacked Han; Han was hard pressed and sent Han Fei as envoy to Qin, and Qin detained Fei and thereupon killed him.
In the ninth year Qin took King An prisoner and brought in the whole of his land, making it Yingzhou commandery. Han thereupon perished.
The Lord Grand Astrologer says: That Han Jue moved Duke Jing of Jin and carried on the Zhao orphan's son Wu, and so completed the righteousness of Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu, was a hidden virtue in the empire. As for the merits of the Han clan, one does not see anything great in them in Jin. Yet with Zhao and Wei they were in the end feudal lords for ten generations and more: was it not fitting!
