Wu Anjun was white
Located about 10 miles north of the city of Gaoping in jincheng, Shanxi Province, it preserves an ancient battlefield dating back about 2,200 years ago, from Skull Mountain and Ma'an Valley in the west to Hongjiagou and Xingcun in the east; from Danzhuling in the north to Mishan Town in the south, with a width of about 10 kilometers and a length of about 30 kilometers. Although this narrow gully is not worth mentioning at all compared with the vast geographical area of our country, the historical significance behind it is extraordinary, and even in the history of China's war, it has left a strong mark, and has made great contributions to the great integration of our Chinese family.
A cry of 450,000 wronged spirits
Site of the Battle of Changping
May 12, 1995, destined to be an extraordinary day, this afternoon, a farmer named Li Youjun, living in Yonglu Village, Gaoping City, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, as usual, carried a hoe leisurely to his own pear orchard, ready to start leveling the land, who knew that he raised the hoe down hard, and actually cut open a dusty history of more than 2200 years, planed out a thrilling war more than 2200 years ago - the Battle of Changping, and led this big war pit to kill 450,000 Zhao Guo The general who surrendered was Bai Qi, the famous god of killing wu'an in the Qin state during the Warring States period.
赵国自周赧王九年（前306年）赵武灵王进行“胡服骑射”的军事改革以来，国事强盛，军力较强，常年对外征战，胜多败少。 With the help of strong military strength, King Wuling of Zhao started the idea of the state of Qin, which was also strong and powerful to the west of it, and King Wuling of Zhao even personally disguised himself as an emissary to enter the state of Qin, inspecting the terrain of the state of Qin, and wanted to attack the state of Qin from Jiuyuan to bypass Hangu Pass, but before King Zhao Wuling could send troops to the state of Zhao, there was a terrible "dune palace change", and King Wuling of Zhao was starved alive in his battle with his two sons.
战国晚期，齐、楚、燕、韩、赵、魏六国的实力相继衰弱，此时强大的秦国便开始了统一六国的计划，时间来到了周赧王四十五年（前270年），秦军发动了一次对赵国的远距离打击，秦昭王派大将胡阳越过其邻国韩国进攻赵国，很显然这次的战略规划是不完善的，在远距离打击赵国的过程中，被当时赵国名将也是当时战国八名将之一的赵奢大败于阏与。
After the Battle of Fu and the First World War, King Qin Zhao was somewhat frustrated, and at this time, under the discovery and planning of Wang Ji, an envoy to the State of Wei, an important figure came to the State of Qin and stepped onto the stage of history, this person was Fan Ju, who later became the prime minister of the State of Qin. Under the planning of Fan Ju, he put forward the strategic principle of "long-distance friendship and close attack" to King Qin Zhao, and from then on the Qin state truly embarked on the road of reunification.
King Zhao of Qin adopted Fan Ju's strategic approach and prepared to attack the State of Wei first, and then attack Korea. In the fifty-third year of the Zhou Dynasty (262 BC), after several battles, the famous Qin general Bai Qi successively captured the Korean city of Jingcheng, Nanyang and then occupied the Wild King of Korea, and completely cut off the connection between the Korean Shangdang County and its native region. In this form of crisis, the monarch of Korea at that time, King Huanhui of Korea, immediately ordered the then Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting to dedicate Shangdang County to the Qin State, so that the Qin State could return to China and korea would be relieved of the crisis. 但无奈冯亭是个顽固派分子，根本不愿意将上党郡献给秦国，就想出了一个“驱虎吞狼”之策，想要把上党郡献给赵国，以此之机，驱使秦国这头猛虎去咬赵国这头恶狼。
The monarch of the Zhao kingdom at that time was Zhao Xiaocheng, the grandson of King Wuling of Zhao, and when he learned that Feng Ting was going to dedicate the seventeen cities of Shangdang County to himself, Zhao Dan summoned three people to seek their opinions. The first person summoned was Zhao Bao, the Jun of Pingyang, who advocated not accepting Feng Ting's surrender, saying that "the saint is very unfortunate and unprovoked" means that "the saint regards unprovoked interests as the greatest scourge.", And King Zhao Xiaocheng summoned Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yu of Pingyuan to discuss, both of whom advocated taking over the seventeen cities in Feng Ting's Shangdang County, and they believed that only by fighting for many years could they get several cities, and now that someone had sent such a large piece of fat meat to his mouth, how could he not bite a bite, and the two of them made this remark in the heart of King Zhao Xiaocheng The three of them decided to take Feng Ting's Shangdang County, but their later history proved what a wrong decision it would be, and it can be said that it directly contributed to the great move of Qin to unify the Six Kingdoms.
At the same time that the three of them were plotting to take over Shangdang County, King Xiaocheng of Zhao asked Zhao Sheng, the prince of Pingyang, that if he took over Shangdang County, the State of Qin would definitely send Wu'an Junbai to attack our Zhao State, who could resist, Zhao Sheng said that looking at the Zhao State's military generals, I am afraid that only the old general Lian Po can compete with him, Lian Po is brave and good at fighting, cherishing the soldiers, although the field battle is not as good as Bai Qi, but the defense of the city is completely competent, so King Zhao Xiaocheng obeyed the plan of Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, sealed Feng Ting as Huayang Jun, sent Pingyuan Jun to receive the land, and sent Lian Po to garrison Changping. In order to prevent the Qin army from attacking.
As Feng Ting expected, King Qin Zhao, dissatisfied with the fact that the State of Zhao had taken over Shangdang County, occupied the Korean clans and the Lun clan in the fifty-fourth year of the Zhou Zhao King, and then sent Zuo Shu Chang Wang Gong to lead an army to attack Shangdang County in the early fifty-fifth year of the Zhou Zhao King, and Lian Po met the battle, but he could not defeat Wang Gong's army at all, so he chose the strategy of high main camp not to fight, and prepared to wait for the Qin army to be tired and then launch a fierce attack, and the Qin army could not provoke it. King Xiaocheng of Zhao was very dissatisfied with Lian Po's repeated defeats and hiding in the camp and holding out, and sent people to rebuke him several times.
At the same time that Lian Po could not hold out, the Qin state also took corresponding measures to open up waterways to transport grain and grass, which was very efficient. At first, the Zhao State did not expect to fight a protracted war, so it did not prepare too much grain and grass, and the Qin army continued to harass the Zhao army's grain routes, making the Zhao army worse, and at the same time, the Zhao state also failed in diplomacy, resulting in its fall into a Jedi with no reinforcements outside and no grain and grass inside.
At such a moment of crisis, King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not listen to dissuasion and wanted to make peace with the State of Qin, but he was caught in the scheme of the State of Qin, and in this situation of unsuccessful peace, Fan Ju, the minister of the State of Qin, sent people to carry heavy gold to the State of Zhao to carry out a counter-plan, which made the State of Zhao even worse, saying: "Lian Po is actually very easy to deal with, and what the State of Qin is most afraid of is Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun Zhao Hou." Unexpectedly, the counter-plan really worked, and in the case that several generals could not lead the troops, King Xiaocheng of Zhao chose Zhao Kuo, who would only talk about soldiers on paper. He asked Zhao Kuo if he could retreat from the Qin army, and Zhao Kuo said, "If I get white, I may not be able to do it, but now that it is Wang Gong, it is not a problem to defeat him at all." King Xiaocheng of Zhao really believed it to be true, so he sent Zhao Kuo to succeed the veteran general Lian Po and became the main general despite the persuasion of Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo's mother.
After Zhao Kuo took over the position of the main general, he changed his incorruptible operational policy, changed the generals of the troops, and took the initiative to attack the Qin army. However, King Zhaozhao of Qin heard that King Xiaocheng of Zhao really replaced Zhao Kuo as the main general, and in order to completely defeat the State of Zhao and be able to settle a battle, he secretly transferred Wu Anjun Baiqi as a general, changed Wang Gong to a deputy general, and ordered the army to keep secrets. Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to pretend to be defeated and retreated, Zhao Kuo did not know that the current commander of the Qin army was the famous general Bai Qi, seeing that the Qin army had retreated Zhao Kuo was overjoyed, ordered the Zhao army to take advantage of the victory to pursue and chase to the city, but the Zhao army could not break through the Qin army that had been reinforced for two years, just as the Zhao army attacked the Qin army camp, Bai Qi sent a force of more than 20,000 people to the rear of the Zhao army, cut off the retreat of the Zhao army, and ordered a cavalry of 5,000 people to insert into the middle of the Zhao army and divide the Zhao army into two parts. At the same time, it cut off the zhao army's grain route. Bai Qi repeatedly sent small units of troops to harass the Zhao army, and the Zhao army was unfavorable in several battles, and was forced to build a barrier on the spot and turn it into a defense to wait for rescue.
In the ninth month of the 55th lunar calendar of the 55th year of the Zhou Dynasty, the main force of the Zhao army had been starving for forty-six days, and the soldiers were so hungry that they could not stand it, so they killed each other for food, and to the point of cannibalism, they had no combat effectiveness at all. In this situation where there were no reinforcements for reinforcements and no food for food, Zhao Kuo could only organize the remaining troops into four breakthrough troops to carry out a breakthrough, but he did not expect that the breakthrough would not succeed, and he himself was also shot by the Qin army's random arrows, only to end up with a "paper soldier" laughing stock, laughing for a thousand years.
In the absence of the main force, the Zhao army all surrendered to Bai Qi, who said: "The soldiers of the State of Zhao are capricious, if you do not kill them all, I am afraid that there will be another incident" So Bai Qi used deceptive means to order the army of the State of Qin to bury all the 450,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao alive, and there are several other theories that killed them all and then threw them into the natural pit and then buried them. Regardless of that statement, in the end, the 450,000 soldiers were indeed killed by Bai Qi, leaving only 240 soldiers who were still young and released back to the Zhao Kingdom.

Bai Qi experienced more than 70 large and small battles in his lifetime, and there were no defeats, according to the research of the entire Warring States period, a total of two million people died in battle, and the people who died at the hands of Bai Qi accounted for one-half, so it is not too much to be respected as a god of killing. Among the more than 70 battles in his lifetime, four of the most famous are the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Huayang, the Battle of Yique, and the Battle of Yanyin.
The Battle of Changping is the most famous battle of Bai qi, as described above, the Battle of Huayang was in the thirty-fourth year of King Zhao of Qin (273 BC), when the Qin generals Bai Qi, Wei Ran, and Hu Yang led an army in Huayang, Korea, and fought against the armies of the Wei state of Mang and Jia Yan of the State of Zhao.
The Wei army and the Zhao army jointly attacked the Korean army's Huayang, Huayang belonged to the important city of Korea, South Korea with the national strength at that time had no way to stop the coalition army, it asked the Qin state for help, the Wei and Zhao combined forces thought that the Qin army was far away from Huayang, they relaxed their vigilance, but did not expect Bai Qi to take a surprise, attack it unprepared, starting from Xianyang, with a daily march of 100 miles at a long distance, it took only eight days to reach huayang city, this battle annihilated 150,000 people of the Wei and Zhao coalition forces in one fell swoop, And more than 20,000 of the captured Zhao army sank into the Yellow River.
