Bai Qi, the god of war or the executioner


Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period is a period when a hundred schools of thought contend , a period of great talent and active academic atmosphere. It is a period of great division in Chinese history. A generation of war gods Bai Qi, he is another military strategist after Sun Wu and Wu Qi.

Bai Qi was from Yixian County, Shaanxi Province, and served King Zhao of Qin Ying Ji, the great-grandfather of Qin Shi Huang .

He is good at military use. From the thirteenth year of King Zhao to the thirty-one year of King Zhao, Bai Qi went from Zuo Shuchang, Zuo Geng, Guowei, Daliangzao to Wu'anjun , all the way to great success and infinite scenery. He fought for 37 years and was invincible.

However, Bai Qi's cruelty, I have to admit and affirm. Of course, people will die in war. On the battlefield, you will fight to the death and you will die. If you don’t call the gong to withdraw troops, there will always be people bleeding, falling, and dying. This is the cruelty and truth of war.


However, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the two countries are at war, and they will not kill them" and "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot". In the battle between two soldiers, there is always a situation where you are superior and inferior, and you win and I lose. Raising your hands and surrendering has already made the defeated party lose its dignity, feel ashamed, and have no face to see the fathers and the villagers. However, how does Bai Qi treat these captives who have no dignity?

"The Battle of Changping" ended, Bai Qi used deception to bury 400,000 Zhao Guo prisoners of war who had "returned to their beliefs", despite the fact that "Zhao soldiers are capricious and unreliable. Kill them all, I'm afraid there will be trouble" excuse,But if life is gone, it's gone, and it's just watching them being buried alive in vain. Is there anything more cruel than this? Amazed!

"The battle for the upper party", Bai Qi led his army to behead 130,000 enemy soldiers, which is understandable, but 20,000 captured soldiers were drowned in Yellow River , buried in the belly of fish, this is the fish Hope or the "arrogance" of ignoring life in vain? Nothing to say!

For history to move forward, wars, massacres, and the disappearance of countless lives are inevitable. However, few like Bai Qi, the butcher's knife pointed at the unarmed prisoners of war.

He is an undisputed military strategist, but at the same time, he is also an unblinking executioner.
