Warring States When, Qin State and Zhao State fight decisively in Changping, Qin general Bai Qi defeated the Zhao army and buried 400,000 prisoners alive, Zhao State weakened from then on. Bai Qi was later sentenced to death for angering King Zhao of Qin and was innocent. Before my death, I deeply regretted that I was too vicious in the battle of Changping in .
Bai Qi, the Bai family of Qin, was famous, a famous general in the Warring States Period, an outstanding military strategist, and a representative figure of the "military genius".
Bai Qi is from Ye (pronounced mei) (now the north bank of the East Wei River in Mei County, Shaanxi Province). He was known for his military use throughout his life. In 294 BC, he was named Zuo Shuchang (name of military officer, 20th grade Qin rank tenth), led his troops to attack South Korea and captured two cities.
The second year, he attacked the Han and Wei countries, beheaded 240,000, captured the enemy general Gongsun Xi, and captured five cities, thus being promoted to Guowei (the chief in charge of national military and political affairs). Afterwards, Bai Qi attacked Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and other countries for many years, and was invincible. He captured nearly a hundred cities and made great achievements.
In 278 BC, Bai Qi attacked Chu State , captured the capital of Chu State, forcing Chu Qingxiang King to escape and moved the capital to Chen (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province). Bai Qi was promoted to Wu'an Jun . Bai Qi made countless military achievements in his life, and the battle of Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province) that made him famous the most was the battle of Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shanxi).
In 264 BC, Bai Qi attacked Han, and Ye Wang (now Qinyang County, Henan Province) surrendered to Qin, causing the traffic between Shangdang County and South Korea to be completely closed. The county magistrate of Shangdang Feng Ting refused to surrender to Qin and returned to Zhao with land, so that when Qin attacked Shangdang, he could join forces with Han and Zhao to fight against Qin together. Although the ministers of Zhao State had controversy, they believed that they had gained land for no reason and took advantage of Shangdang County, which led to the Battle of Changping.
In 260 BC, Qin Zuo Shuchang Wang Yan (pronunciation hehe) conquered Shangdang, and the people of Shangdang defected to Zhao State, and Zhao State stationed troops to Changping to support Shangdang people. Wang Wei attacked Zhao again, and Zhao ordered the general Lian Po to lead the army to resist. The Zhao army was defeated several times, and Lian Po was firm in his own way and did not fight with the Qin army.
wang He, also known as Wang Qiong, was named Xinliang, a famous general of Qin State in the late Warring States Period. Wang He went through three generations of Qin Kings and was the long-time general of Qin State. The picture shows a screenshot of the film and television work
Lian Po did not go to war, and the Qin State could not attack, so he implemented the counter-espionage plan and sent people to Zhao State to spread rumors, saying that Qin people were afraid of Zhao Kuo , and Lian Po was about to surrender. King Zhao was already angry about Lian Po's defeat several times and was determined not to fight. He believed the rumors and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po as a general.
After Qin State learned that Zhao Kuo was a general, he secretly sent Bai Qi as the general (the commander of the general in charge of the military commander's operations) and ordered those who leaked the matter to behead him. Zhao Kuo is the son of famous general Zhao She . He likes to talk about formation planning, but has no practical experience at all. The idiom "talking about war on paper" means his, how can he compare with the veteran Bai Qi?
As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived in the army, he led his army to fight. The Qin army pretended to be defeated and sent a surprise soldier to cut off his retreat and cut off the Zhao army's food and supplies. The Zhao army had nowhere to go, so they set up camp to wait for reinforcements. After King Zhao of Qin learned about the situation of the war, he mobilized men over fifteen years old across the country to join the war in Changping.
The Zhao army could not get food and grass for 46 days, and had already killed each other. The Qin army was unable to win four or five times. In desperation, Zhao Kuo went to fight in person and was shot to death by the Qin army. The Zhao army surrendered for 400,000. Bai Qi was afraid that Zhao Bing would rebel again, so he used a trick to bury the 400,000 people alive. The Battle of Changping ended with the loss of 450,000 troops in Zhao State, and Qin State also lost more than half.
In 259 BC, the Qin State divided its troops into two groups to attack Han and Zhao, and captured Pilao, Taiyuan and other places. The two countries did not dare to fight again and sent Su Dai to Qin State to persuade Prime Minister Qin to stop the army.In order to make Fan Sui stop his troops, Su Dai picked him and fought against Bai Qi. He first asked, "Have you captured Zhao Kuo?"
Changping Battle lasted for 5 months. The Zhao army was finally defeated. Qin State won and occupied Changping. In this battle, a total of about 450,000 Zhao troops were beheaded and killed.
Fan Sui said yes, and he asked again, "Are you going to surround Handan (Zhao Capital)?" Fan Sui said yes, and Su Dai said, "If Zhao falls, the King of Qin will be the king of the world, and Wu'an will be the Three Dukes." Then he used the merits made by Bai Qi to prove that what he said was not false, and solicited, "Can you be under him? Although you don't want to be under him, it won't work."
Su Dai's trip was not to harm Bai Qi, but to achieve the purpose of Qin's withdrawal of the army that attacked Han and Zhao. So after impressing Fan Sui, he said, "Qin once attacked Han Shangdang, and the people of Shangdang all surrendered to Zhao, which means that the people in the world are unwilling to be the Qin people. Now that Zhao has destroyed Zhao, the people of Zhao will go north to Yan State , east to Qi State , and south to Han and Wei, so Qin will not get a few people. So it is better to cut off the land of Han and Zhao according to the situation and prevent Bai Qi from making any contribution." For his own status, Fan Sui advised King Zhao of Qin to say, "The Qin army is already working hard. Please allow Han and Zhao to cede land to rest and rest the soldiers." King Zhao of Qin agreed and stopped the army after cedes the seven cities of Han and Zhao. From then on, Bai Qi had a grudge with Prime Minister Fan Sui.
In September of the central calendar in 258 BC, after resting, the Qin State sent five doctors to attack the capital of Zhao State Handan. At this time, Bai Qi was ill and could not go to the expedition. Wang Ling was subjected to fierce resistance from Zhao State and was unfavorable to send troops. Qin State increased its troops and went there again, losing again.
Bai Qi's illness has been cured. King Zhao of Qin wanted him to replace Wang Ling. Bai Qi saw that it was not easy to achieve success in his army this time, and said to King Zhao of Qin: "Handan is not easy to capture. The princes have been resentful of Qin for a long time, and their reinforcements arrived soon. Although Qin recently defeated Zhao's army in Changping, more than half of the Qin soldiers died, and the country was empty. The Qin army crossed the mountains and rivers to attack other people's capitals. If Zhao was in the inner and the princes' army attacked outside, they would definitely defeat the Qin army. This is not possible."
Qin Zhaoxiang, Yingji, Ying surname, Zhao clan, and his name was Ze, and he was Ji (325 BC to 251 BC), also known as King Zhao of Qin. The picture shows a screenshot of the film and television work
King Zhao of Qin refused to listen and formally ordered Bai Qi to be a general, but he couldn't even disobey. King Zhao asked Fan Sui to ask Bai Qi to go to war again, but he refused and refused on the pretext of being sick.
King Zhao of Qin did not have Bai Qi's vision. He was determined to destroy Zhao. In the second year, he sent Wang Wei to replace Wang Ling, and he still could not break through two consecutive months of attack on Handan. Just as Bai Qi foresaw, Chu, Wei and other countries sent their most important generals to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to aid Zhao, and besieged the Qin army outside. The Qin army was defeated and many people were injured.
After hearing the news, Bai Qi said, "Qin State does not listen to my plan, how are you doing now!" His words made King Zhao of Qin hear him. King Zhao was furious and forced him to go to war, so he claimed that he was seriously ill and could not lead his troops to war. Fan Sui also went to invite Bai Qi, and Bai Qi was bedridden, which angered King Zhao of Qin, removed him from his official position and title, demoted him to the same position as the soldiers, and sent him to Yinmi County (now southwest of Lingtai County, Gansu).
If Bai Qi set out at this time, he might be exempted from death, but he didn't know whether he was pretending to be sick or really sick, so he didn't leave and lived for three months. During this period, the Qin army retreated repeatedly and there were envoys asking for help every day. King Zhao of Qin hated Bai Qi very much and sent someone to drive him away, not allowing him to stay in Xianyang (Qin Capital). Bai Qi left the west gate of Weiyang City and came to Duyou (now northeast of Xianyang City ), and he never left again.
After Bai Qi left, King Zhao of Qin and Fan Sui and other ministers discussed:
"When Bai Qi moved, his intention was still quick and dissatisfied, and he had other words." ("Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Bai Qi")
Fan Ju's birth and death year was unknown. He was a famous politician, traitor, military strategist, strategist, diplomat, and prime minister of Qin during the Warring States Period. The picture shows a screenshot of the film and television work
, so he sent an envoy to chase Bai Qi with a sword and asked him to commit suicide.Bai Qi held the sword and sighed, "Why did I blame the sky for this?" After a while, he said, "I really deserve to die. In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered, I cheated them all, which is enough to die!" So he led the sword to commit suicide, which was already November of the central calendar in 256 BC.
Bai Qi found that the enemy was like him, and he won unexpectedly, and his reputation was shaking the world, but he was sentenced to death just because he offended Fan Sui and advised King Zhao of Qin.
"Death is not his crime, the Qin people pity it" ("Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Bai Qi")
All parts of the Qin State built temples and sacrifices for him, which shows how important he is in the minds of the Qin people.
The reason why Bai Qi would rather offend King Zhao of Qin than fight again, some people pointed out that in addition to the two reasons why the Qin soldiers were exhausted and the princes were going to send reinforcements, there was another reason why he himself refused to say, that is, the killing of prisoners in the Battle of Changping.
He Yan. He is from Wan County, Nanyang County (now Nanyang City, Henan Province). During the Three Kingdoms period, a minister of Cao Wei, a metaphysicist, and grandson of He Jin, the grandson of He Jin, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty,
During the Three Kingdoms period, He Yan once said that Bai Qi buried 400,000 prisoners alive, and was famous all over the world. Who dared to surrender again? Even if the dead are resurrected, they will die in a fight and will never surrender. Therefore, Bai Qi would rather resist the imperial edict than attack Handan than attack him, which would eventually lead to a murderous disaster.
A piece of mystic article, my writing style is immature. I hope you all will forgive or give me advice. Thanks!
