King Wu of Qin

King Wu of Qin (Chinese: 秦武王; 329–307 BC), personal name Ying Dang, was the king of the Qin state from 310 to 307 BC. Despite his short time as ruler, King Wu played a part in Qin's wars of unification, mainly through his efforts against the Han state. He also invaded some of the other major powers of the Warring States period, notably the Wei state. In the fourth year of King Wu's reign, his minister Gan Mao (甘茂), suggested an attack on the Han fortress of Yiyang to open up a path to invade the eastern powers. Read more on Wikipedia
