桓齮 / Huan Yi (Qin)
桓齮 / Huan Yi (Qin) enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》111-1|偌大的赵国竟亡于一个妓女之手 as one of the Qin commanders sent against 赵国 in 236 BCE, while Zhao is campaigning against 燕国.
The episode names him alongside 王翦 and 杨端和. In the source’s campaign account, Huan Yi takes 邺城 and Anyang, making him part of the same Qin opportunistic strike that turns Yan-Zhao conflict into Qin advantage.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》112-2|秦始皇也是他的书迷? gives Huan Yi a later Zhao-front branch. In 234 BCE, the episode says he attacks Zhao, kills Zhao general Hu Zhe, and kills 100,000 people before 李牧 defeats him at Yi’an and Feixia. In 233 BCE, the same source says Huan Yi attacks again and takes Yi’an, Pingyang, and Wucheng, making him both a dangerous Qin attacker and the foil for Li Mu’s late Zhao resistance.
