Desperate, Lü committed suicide by poison in 235 b.c.
The Conquest Of Six Kingdoms
After the removal of Lü Bu Wei, King Zheng used the scholar Li Si as his major adviser in planning the conquest of China's six other kingdoms. Han, Zhao, and Wei were the three kingdoms directly to the east of Qin; beyond these were Yan in the north, Chu in the south, and Qi in between. King Zheng accepted Li Si's proposal to first launch frontal attacks upon Han, Zhao, and Wei, and then attack Yan and Chu, before finally taking over Qi for the final unification. Han, the weakest kingdom, was conquered in 230 b.c. In 228 b.c., Qin besieged Han Dan, the capital of the Zhao kingdom, and captured the king of Zhao. After Zhao's fall, Qin presented a great threat to the kingdom of Yan. In the hope of preventing Qin's attack, in 227 b.c. the crown prince of Yan sent an assassin to kill King Zheng. After the attempt failed, the king of Yan killed the crown prince to make peace with Qin.
