《秦谜》 / Qin Mi

《秦谜》 / Qin Mi enters the wiki through 《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! as the 李开元 work the host cites when moving beyond the compact 《资治通鉴》 account of Qin’s final Chu campaign.

In the episode’s summary of the book, 昌平君 is reconstructed as Xiong Qi, a Chu royal son with a Qin maternal connection. The source uses that reconstruction to explain why Changping Jun’s rebellion at Chenying could have been decisive for 李信’s earlier failed campaign and why the late Chu record may be more complex than the chronicle’s outline suggests.

The wiki treats Qin Mi here as a cited reconstruction, not as settled baseline chronology. Its useful role is to mark a source-critical path for later ingests that may supply the missing argument in more detail.
