Sorry, i only was able to find 1 attempt, its also how you research all these ninja information!. What is this for!? Ancient History!?

Zhang Liang (張良, d!. 189 BC) (meaning Zhang who is of good conscience), courtesy name Zifang (子房), was a descendant from a noble family of State of Han during the Warring States Period!. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all officials of the State of Han (韩)!. Zhang Liang had once planned an assassination against Qin Shi Huang but the employed assassin mistakenly destroyed the decoy vehicle!. Zhang was then forced to flee!. The attempt was the origin of a famous Chinese four-character idiom, 誤中副車!. He later joined Liu Bang in 208 BC to rebel against the rule of Qin and helped him to establish Han Dynasty!. He soon retired and became a practitioner of Taoism!.

Zhang Liang - The assassination attempt against Qin Shi Huang

As forementioned, Zhang once planned to assassinate Qin Shi Huang -- to avenge the emperor's destruction of Hán in 230 BC -- and in planning so, he spent his entire family fortune hiring assassins!. In 217 BC, the plan was carried out, involving an assassin carrying heavy hammers, but it failed!. The surprised emperor made orders that the persons responsible be captured, but Zhang eluded the dragnet!. It was during this period of flight that Zhang, according to legend, met the old man who taught him military strategies!.
