History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
In 260 BC, the Qin army attacked the Zhao state for a long time, and if it dragged on, all aspects of grain and grass materials would be greatly depleted. Even if the Qin soldiers at that time were strong and strong, and the momentum was like a fierce tiger, they also wanted to fight a quick battle, quickly solve the Zhao state, and then go to annex other countries, seize the time to unify the six kingdoms, ascend to the emperor's throne, and move towards the peak of life.
For the State of Qin, at this moment, Zhao Guo was a piece of meat on the board, about to be killed, but found that there was still a hard bone, and this hard bone was Lian Po. At this time, the Qin King's thoughts were, of course: Is there anything that cannot be solved by a fight, and it is necessary to be a shrunken-headed turtle?
If there is, then fight a few more battles, no matter how provocative the King of Qin, Lian Po has never forgotten his original intention and avoided war, but the honest gold lord Zhao Wang, seeing that the treasury is about to be empty, and then sits on the mountain and goes down, the company will face bankruptcy, but Lian Po, this stubborn guy, in addition to building the city wall, guarding the city wall, does not know how to fight back, let people slaughter, insult the face of my Zhao Country, how is this good?
In a certain sense, the ideas of the King of Qin and the King of Zhao coincided. Maybe you have to say, since King Zhao also wanted to fight in groups, didn't Zhao Guo still have Li Mu, Tian Dan, Le Yi, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hao and many other good generals at that time who could take up the heavy burden?
So here I would like to say a but. Zhao Hao liked to attack, but he had sacrificed his life for the country in this battle of Changping, which lasted for more than 3 years; Zhao Sheng was mainly responsible for logistics, and Li Mu guarded the distant frontier, even if there was no protection, advancing forward for decades, and after the same attack task was issued, it was rejected by Li Mu.
Thinking about it, Le Yi is not bad, but people have already said that they are sick and nursing their bodies at home; Tian Dan, although he is very talented, although he is highly powerful, is after all a foreigner, sitting in front of King Zhao's eyes. But just at this moment, King Zhao heard the wind: the rabble-rousers who said that the Qin state were afraid of Zhao Kuo, and if Zhao Kuo came with a weapon steel pipe, the Qin army guaranteed that they would be frightened, let alone fight again. Let you tell me, King Zhao is anxious to become an ant on the hot pot, he heard this news, is it not very surprised, is not very unexpected, simply grasped the straw of life-
Do you think any one person can be called a lifesaver? Zhao Kuo was a superstar at that time, he was a second-generation general, his old son Zhao Hao and Lian Po were equally famous, and Xiao Yong was good at war, the son of a mouse would punch holes, Zhao Kuo was already familiar with military books when he was a child, and he had gone out with his father and had work experience. Just like many celebrity children now are good at singing and dancing since they were young, and occasionally come back to a reality show. With this circle of aura, not only colleagues are assured, the boss Zhao Wang is assured, his subordinates are also assured, tiger father has no dogs, Xiao Zhao, you have a big thing, you must be able to do it!
In fact, after Zhao Kuo himself arrived at the front line, he also understood that it was not suitable to attack immediately, after all, the Qin army brought 650,000 people, while I only had 400,000 people, and the Qin army, whether strategically or logistically, had sufficient preparations, look at their command lineup: Bai Qi, Meng Yi, Meng Yi, are all international superstars, not to mention, behind the boss Qin Wang is also rich.
But King Zhao can't wait, he has to fight now, fight fiercely, fight to the death, the end can be imagined, Zhao Kuo has no choice, can only lead the troops to attack, and then was surrounded by the Qin army front and back, grain and grass cut off for more than 40 days, even if the environment is so bad, Zhao Kuo is still well-trained, many surprise attacks, and the Qin army to fight, until the whole army is destroyed, sacrificing his life for the country!
In fact, we usually only know about Zhao Kuo from the history books, so that he can enjoy the great achievements, but from another point of view, he is a patriotic, brave, and responsible person, when the King of Zhao has no one to use, Zhao Kuo stepped forward, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, biased towards the tiger mountain line, and other people are avoiding things, Zhao Kuo has the courage to take responsibility. In the absence of grain and grass, he remained calm, trying to lead the brothers out of the siege and meet the Son of Heaven with a body of glory.
Can you say that the Battle of Changping was a defeat for Zhao Kuo alone? For him, how unfair, at that time, the Zhao State was already a troublemaker at home and abroad, full of sores and holes, the people's hearts were uneven, and in the face of the strong Qin of heaven and place, the victory and defeat had long been doomed! King Zhao gave orders, whether right or wrong, as a courtier, Zhao Kuo was just a helpless executor!
