The Spring and Autumn Warring States period was a period of great division in history, and this chaotic era lasted for hundreds of years, which caused the displacement of the people in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. Under such circumstances, the final Spring and Autumn Warring States were greatly unified, but this was hundreds of years later. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various princely states continued to fight.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various princely states continued to fight wars, and many people from other princely states also appeared to go to another princely state. For example, the famous general Wu Zixu is one of them, Wu Zixu fled the Chu state and came to the Wu kingdom because his father and brother were killed. Like Wu Zixu, there was another person who also escaped at that time.
He was the royal family of the Chu state and one of the princes of the Chu state, Bai Gongsheng. In history, Bai Gongsheng's name is certainly not as good as Wu Zixu's, but in Bai Gongsheng's body, there is a surprising thing. This is that Bai Gongsheng was the son of the Chu State, but he made meritorious contributions to the Qin State and even killed hundreds of thousands of troops.
Bai Gongsheng was the grandson of King Chuping, and his father was the poor Prince Jian. At that time, King Chuping listened to Fei Wuji's rumors and persecuted Prince Jian and Wu Hao's family. As a result, Wu Zixu fled to the State of Wu, while Prince Jian first fled to the State of Song and then to the State of Zheng, where he was later killed by the State of Zheng. Although Prince Jian was killed, his son escaped.
As a result, Bai Gongsheng fled to the State of Wu. After the end of the Wu-Chu War, the political situation in the Chu State gradually stabilized, and the Chu State at this time gradually moved toward stability, but there was a dispute over whether Bai Gongsheng could return to China, and most of the ministers in the DPRK and China did not approve of Bai Gongsheng's return to the Chu State. However, in the end, Bai Gongsheng still returned to the Chu State, and Bai Gongsheng was appointed as the Doctor of Chao, "Known as Bai Gong".
Bai Gongsheng trained the army and then recharged his strength, just to avenge his father. However, when Bai Gongsheng asked Ling Yin Zixi to attack Zheng Guo, he was refused. Later, the State of Jin attacked the State of Zheng, and the State of Chu actually sent troops to rescue it. Such an approach undoubtedly angered Bai Gongsheng. At the same time, Bai Gongsheng was the eldest grandson of King Chuping, and it was reasonable to say that the throne should be his.
In July 479 BC, when the State of Wu invaded the border of the State of Chu, Bai Gongsheng led an army to defeat the Wu army. Immediately afterward, Bai Gongsheng launched a mutiny, and at this time, Bai Gongsheng launched a military coup "under the pretext of preparing for war", "killing Zi Xi, Zi Zhi Yu Dynasty, and robbing The King of Hui". What Bai Gongsheng did not expect was that a month later, Ye Gong led an army to serve the king, "the disciples of King Hui of Chu attacked Bai Gong together and killed him."
After Bai Gongsheng was killed, his son ran to the Qin state. According to historical records, Bai Gongsheng had five sons, four of whom fled to the Qin state. After Bai Gongsheng's son arrived in the Qin State, he began to serve as a general in the Qin State, and in the middle and late period of the Warring States, Bai Gongsheng's descendants appeared an invincible general, who was the "Warring States Killing God" Bai Qi!
Bai Qi was a well-deserved warring states killing god, and at the same time established outstanding merits for the Qin state. Cai Ze, the chancellor of the State of Qin, once said: "Thousands of miles in Chu province, holding millions of halberds, Bai Qi led tens of thousands of divisions to fight against Chu, in the first battle, Yan Yin was raised to burn Yiling, and then fought in the south and Shu Han." Bai Qi led the Qin army to attack the State of Chu, won the Victory in the Battle of Yan Yin, and attacked the capital of the State of Chu in one fell swoop, killing hundreds of thousands of Chu troops.
Because of this, the Chu kingdom was in a slump and did not have the glory of the past. When Bai Qi attacked the capital of Ying, he also deliberately went to Bai Gongsheng's grave to worship, and the history books recorded that "the ninth grandson of Gong Qi raised up and worshiped his ancestors here". Bai Qi made the Chu state go to ruin through the Battle of Yan Yin, and at this time, the Chu state could never have imagined that it was his former royal descendants who defeated him!
