What's the reason for Princess Huayang's marriage to a general older than herself?

Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was going to attack the state of Chu. He asked Wang Jian, a famous general, how many soldiers do you think it would take to attack the state of Chu?

Wang Jian said for a long time: no less than 600000 troops, otherwise it is difficult to succeed.

King Ying Zheng of Qin asked General Li Xin again: General Li, how many troops do you think are suitable?

Without thinking about it, Li Xin blurted out: I think 200000 troops are enough. The state of Chu is strong outside but strong in the middle. It can't compete with the division of tiger and Wolf of Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng, king of Qin, looked at Wang Jian and Li Xin, and laughed: General Wang, you are old, your ambition is no longer heroic, and you are not suitable to lead soldiers to fight in your old age. Then he left with a laugh.

In 225 B.C., Li Xin led 200000 troops to attack Chu. After that, Ying Zheng, king of Qin, no longer looked down upon Wang Jian. Wang Jian, who was bored, resigned and went home to provide for the aged on the grounds of old age and illness.

Li Xin was young and frivolous. He was disadvantageous at the beginning of his career and lost his general at the expense of his troops. The king of Qin had to leave Xianyang and went to Wang Jian's home in person to make an apology and ask him to fight against Chu.

It seems that the emperor of all ages is also a man who can bend and stretch, otherwise it is impossible to achieve the great cause of reunification.

Wang Jian is also a man, regardless of the past, but I still have to say that I can send troops, not less than 600000 troops, otherwise I dare not guarantee victory. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, thought twice and nodded his head. And on the spot, he handed the talisman to Wang Jian, and the Qin army obeyed the general's transfer.

After returning to Xianyang, the first emperor of Qin murmured again. It was not that he didn't believe Wang Jian's ability to fight, but that he worried that Li Xingang would lose a lot of troops and give Wang Jian another 600000 troops. Most of the military power of the state of Qin would fall into Wang Jian's hands. If he launched a coup, I would play it out completely. The more he thought about it, the more scared he was. Finally, he decided to marry his eldest daughter, Princess Huayang The general, who was older than himself, became a relative and tied Wang Jian's heart.

Wang Jian led 600000 troops to Chu. Just 50 miles away, a colorful Phoenix chariot came to the opposite. All the women were dressed in gorgeous clothes, blocking the way of Wang Jian's army. Wang Jian was wondering. One of them came out of the team, announced the imperial edict of the king of Qin. General nianwang worked hard to leave the army. The king of Qin gave general Wang to marry the eldest princess on the spot Smart, like a mirror in my heart. Immediately ordered the army to camp on the spot, the whole army celebrated and held a wedding ceremony with Princess Huayang.

The next day, the 60 year old general took his teenage wife to Xianyang to meet his father-in-law. The next day, Wang Jian and the princess returned to the camp on the same horse. Then they went to the front line.
