蒙敖 / Meng Ao
蒙敖 / Meng Ao enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》69丨必看！古代帝王奇葩死法大盘点 as the Qin commander whom the host identifies behind the 285 BCE attack on 齐国. The episode says 《资治通鉴》 names Meng Wu, but corrects the notice through 《史记》: the commander should be Meng Ao, Meng Wu’s father.
The source uses him less as a full biography than as a source-critical hinge. Under 秦昭襄王, Qin attacks Qi after Qi’s destruction of 宋国 has made Qi look too powerful. Meng Ao’s campaign captures nine cities, and the episode says Qin then establishes them as counties governed by Qin-appointed officials.
