The occurrence of the Battle of Changping was definitely a major event in the Warring States period. The three important moments of the unification of the qin state were the Five Kingdoms of Qi, the Battle of Yanying, and the Battle of Changping. Among them, the Battle of Changping can be regarded as the most difficult one in the unification war of the Qin State.
The key to the battle of Changping affecting the outcome of the battle lies in the anti-strategy of the Qin state. Through the counter-plot, the State of Qin made the King of Zhao dissatisfied with Lianpo, so he replaced Lianpo with Zhao Kuo, who could only talk on paper, thus laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Changping.
So, if Zhao Kuo is replaced by Han Xin, what will be the end?
Han Xinbing, with less to win more, attack the heart first
1. The Battle of Jingxing
In the Battle of Han Xin to destroy Zhao, tens of thousands of soldiers attacked 200,000 soldiers of the Zhao State at Jingxing. Han Xin and others rushed thousands of miles, the supply of grain and grass was not timely, the soldiers were tired, and the number was still at a disadvantage. Logically, Han Xin has very few chances of winning.
However, Han Xin did not give up. Before the action, Han Xin heard that Cheng Anjun Chen Yu was a pedantic scholar, so he formulated a detailed attack opportunity, trying to take advantage of Cheng An Jun Chen Yu's contempt for himself to win the victory.
On the one hand, Han Xin sent a unit to carry out a decisive battle with his back to the river to attract the Zhao army to move out; on the other hand, Han Xin sent a cavalry to take advantage of the Zhao army's nest and change all the flags of the Zhao army camp to the banner of the Han army.
Because Han Xin and others fought a battle against the water, the combat effectiveness increased greatly, and the Zhao army attacked for a long time, so he remembered to retreat. Who would have thought that when the Zhao Army came to the camp, it would already be full of Han army flags. Therefore, they thought that the Han army had defeated the Zhao state, so they fled in defeat.
2. The Battle of Weishui
The Battle of Weishui is also Han Xin's Battle of Annihilation. In this battle, Han Xin still took advantage of Xiang Yu's characteristics of the general Long and the light enemy, set up an ambush, and spent a very small price to defeat the dragon and the army and destroy the State of Qi.
Judging from Han Xin's characteristics in the use of troops, he was very good at using the enemy's personality characteristics to carry out targeted platooning and deployment, and strived to reduce the wear and tear of war.
The addition of Han Xin was a timely rain for Zhao Guo
In fact, the discussion about whether Zhao Guo can win without changing Zhao Kuo has been going on for a long time. What is frustrating is that most people believe that even if Zhao Guo does not use Zhao Kuo, he still uses Lianpo, and the chances of Zhao Guo winning are still slim.
The reason is the gap in national strength.
It is true that on the eve of the Battle of Changping, after a long period of Taoguang cultivation, the State of Zhao had become a great power second only to the State of Qin at that time, and its reform of hufu riding and shooting made the combat effectiveness of the Cavalry of the State of Zhao very strong. Cavalry, on the other hand, has always been a formidable force in ancient times, and it has a clear advantage over infantry.
However, no matter how powerful the Zhao State was, it was still slightly weak in the face of a country like the Qin State, which had almost no regrets.
Zhao Guo's Hu costume riding archery is incomplete, its content is very simple, learn the costumes of the Hu people, learn the cavalry technology of the Hu people. In other respects, hufu riding and shooting has barely helped.
In contrast, the Qin State Shang Martingale Transformation Law, the military has a military merit system, and the economy has heavy agriculture and suppresses commerce. The change of the Qin state made the Qin state a country with only farming and war.
This is something that Zhao Guo cannot compare. Therefore, in the later stage of the Battle of Changping, to the stage of competing for national strength, the probability of Zhao Guo losing was very high.
The characteristics of Han Xin's use of troops, as already mentioned above, strive to minimize combat losses.
Therefore, Han Xin's joining can slightly make up for the gap in Zhao Guo's national strength, and the rest is the competition between Bai Qi and Han Xin.
For this, it is not easy to compare. After all, both were very powerful warriors in ancient times.
