During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the gradual weakening of Zhou Tianzi's influence, many princely states began to fight each other, which lasted for hundreds of years, until finally, seven large princely states appeared, namely the State of Chu, the State of Qin, the State of Korea, the State of Wei, the State of Zhao, the State of Yan, and the State of Qi. Because the State of Qin took the lead in changing the law, the state gradually became stronger and became the most powerful of the Seven Heroes.
The rise of the Qin state made the other six shandong kingdoms feel afraid, by the time of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the rest of the countries have been difficult to compete with the Qin state, but the Zhao state through the Hu costume riding and shooting, the strength of the two countries has the strength to dominate the world, the two sides in 262 BC a war, historically called the Battle of Changping, when the Qin state originally attacked Korea, South Korea knew that its strength was very weak, unable to resist the strong Qin, he gave the domestic Shangdang to the Qin state, but the Shangdang guards did not do it, he dedicated the city to the Zhao state.
The State of Zhao, Korea, and the State of Wei were originally all one family, so there were three branches of Jin, and the King of Zhao was very happy to hear the news, thinking that he had picked up more than a dozen cities in vain, but Zhao Bao, the King of the Plains, thought that this was a conspiracy of Korea, and if he accepted the party, it would be equivalent to fighting head-on with the State of Qin, because the State of Zhao was also a strong country, so the State of Qin began to confront in the Changping area, the lord of the State of Qin would be Wang Gong, and the lord of the State of Zhao would be Lian Po, one of the four famous generals, and the two sides confronted each other for three years.
Because the national strength of the two sides was very different, the Zhao state could not support it at first, not only could not raise domestic grain, but the military heart was gradually unstable, but the king of Zhao was not willing to give up, and finally replaced Lian Po, using the young general Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo was the son of Zhao Kuo, a famous general of the Zhao state, who was familiar with military books from childhood, and he began to take the initiative to attack after he went to the front, but he did not expect that the qin state would also turn the main general into white, because this matter was very hidden, and the Zhao state did not know.
Bai Qi lured the enemy deeper, divided the encirclement, used 550,000 troops to surround the 450,000 large army of the Zhao State, and finally the result of the Battle of Changping was that the Zhao State was completely destroyed, Bai Qi also killed a lot of soldiers, and finally only released more than 300 baby soldiers of the Zhao State, many people said that Bai Qi used soldiers like gods, but according to historical records, the losses caused by the Siege of the Zhao Army by Bai Qi exceeded 250,000, so Zhao Kuo was not an incompetent person, if he knew in advance that the lord would be Bai Qi, then the number of victories and defeats would be difficult to say.
Although the Battle of Changping did have something inappropriate about Zhao Kuo, he was definitely not an incompetent person, first of all, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was slightly higher than that of the Zhao State, and no one in Bai Qi's life could make him lose more than 250,000. And this was done in Zhao Kuo's first command. Therefore, it can be seen from this that Zhao Kuo is definitely a talented person.
