蒙武 / Meng Wu
蒙武 / Meng Wu enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》117-1｜啪啪打脸！历史上“爽文”的开山鼻祖 as the Qin general moving south with 李信 against 楚国 while 王贲 attacks 魏国. The source uses him mainly as part of Qin’s multi-front pressure rather than as the center of a separate episode.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》117-2｜学着点！秦朝武将竟然如此高情商？ gives him a clearer command role after Li Xin and 蒙恬 are defeated by 项燕. When 嬴政 / 秦始皇 asks 王翦 to return for the Chu campaign, Wang Jian requires 600,000 troops and asks that Meng Wu serve as deputy. In this source, Meng Wu therefore marks Wang Jian’s preferred command structure for the corrected campaign.
The page keeps a source-critical boundary: an earlier Zhouji 69 source says the chronicle’s 285 BCE “Meng Wu” notice should be corrected to 蒙敖, Meng Wu’s father. That correction does not erase Meng Wu’s later Qinji 117 role in the Chu campaign branch.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》118-1｜王翦率六十万大军 对战项燕！好戏开场了！ keeps Meng Wu as Wang Jian’s deputy during the successful second Chu campaign. He shares in the refusal to answer Xiang Yan’s challenges, the fortified waiting phase, and the later 223 BCE capture of 熊负刍 / 楚王负刍 with Wang Jian.
Qinji 118-2 keeps Meng Wu in the last cleanup of Chu resistance. After Wang Jian takes Chenying and Shouchun, Meng Wu remains paired with him in the final attack where 昌平君 dies and 项燕 commits suicide. His page therefore records both the captured-ruler endpoint and the extinction of the last royal-resistance branch.
