王离 / Wang Li (Qin)

王离 / Wang Li (Qin) enters the wiki through Qinji 129-2 as the Qin commander whose northern troops block 李良 from moving into Taiyuan. The episode places him at the Jingxing route, where he prevents Li Liang from advancing and forces the Zhao-side commander to reassess his position.

Wang Li’s most important source role is political recruitment. He sends a letter in 胡亥 / 秦二世’s name saying that Li Liang’s earlier surrender to Zhao will not be punished and that returning to Qin can still bring reward. Li Liang does not immediately accept, but the offer becomes the background condition that makes later defection possible.

The page keeps Wang Li source-scoped. In this episode, he is less a battlefield protagonist than a sign that Qin still has coercive and diplomatic reach even while 张楚政权 and restored 赵国 are expanding. His letter turns anti-Qin fragmentation into a recruitment opportunity for Qin.
