The ultimate commanders of this war were the King of Qin and the King of Zhao, and there was no doubt that the level of the King of Zhao was far behind that of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, so defeat was inevitable, and the generals at the front could not reverse the overall situation. Just like Yue Fei was no matter how strong he was, he couldn't escape the twelve gold medals to be transferred back. In the case of Qin being strong and Zhao weak, if King Zhao wanted to win, he had to unite with other princely states to jointly attack the State of Qin, and as a result, King Zhao refused to cooperate with the other princes. As for what happened later, the State of Qin did not destroy the State of Zhao with a single blow. What happened next was that Mao Sui volunteered himself and Xin Lingjun to steal Zhao, and borrowed troops from the Chu and Wei states to send the Qin army back from Handan. Secondly, Lian Po's style of playing without going to war is not good, even without the divisive plan of the Qin State, the Zhao State cannot persist, the daily consumption of grain zhao Guo has no family foundation, and then the Soldiers of the Zhao State will have to mutiny, Han Xin should know this.
Therefore, I think That Han Xin will take the initiative to attack, but instead of sending all of them out to fight a decisive battle, he will send a small group of mobile troops to find ways to rob the Qin army's grain routes, because the Qin state belongs to the expedition, grain transportation is very important, this is the seven inches of the Qin state, and Han Xin's ability to make shady moves is too strong, deceiving the heavens and deceiving the ghosts and gods, and sending a few spies to the Qin army to create a rumor. Moreover, Han Xin was originally also a war plotter, and the late stage of the Battle of Changping was almost a clear card, and it was impossible for you to turn things around even if you plotted through the heavens, and at most, the loss would not be so miserable. The Battle of Changping is to turn things around, and only by relying on hardness can we win more with less. I think throughout history, only one person can do it. Xiang Yu, the giant deer one stop, 50,000 people hard to force the king away from 200,000 people, and completely crushed the king away.
Don't pull any princely alliances, the princely alliance forces are at least Xiang Yugan lying on the Qin army, rushing out to pick up cheap. The number of two sides in the Battle of Changping was about 450,000 to 600,000, but considering that Bai Qi was also a god killer, even if Xiang Yu was close, the victory and defeat were estimated to be 55 kai. Some people say that Xiang Yu can't do it, but you must know that at that time, he was already out of food. The giant deer only used three days of grain, and the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping could not have sprinkled grain for three days. In addition, more than a decade ago, it was said that the conservative tactics of honesty were just as clumsy, and they were draining Zhao Guo's own blood. This is not a lot of statements, and it is a bit of a novelty. But gradually, this statement has become more and more recognized.
However, those who agree with this statement do not seem to be able to come up with a better method of warfare that can absolutely defeat bai qi. They just said that it was not undesirable for Zhao Kuo to rush out to fight a decisive battle. However, there are several problems... During the forty-six days of encirclement, the Zhao army actually only broke through four or five times, and most of the Zhao army did not die in battle, but starved to death or died in the pit, could it be that in these forty-six days, the encircled Zhao army could not find the opportunity to fight with the white blade of the Qin army? Even if Han Xin went, Zhao Guo had no chance to win, zhao guo's national strength was too much worse than that of qin, why did Zhao guo fight a decisive battle? Because they couldn't afford to spend it, they couldn't afford to fight at their own doors, and the Qin Kingdom could still maintain the supply line from afar.
At that time, such a long distance could maintain supplies, which was enough to show how much the national strength of the Qin State had reached, and I think the gap in national strength was more than doubled, right? Han Xinlai is the same, you don't give you grain and grass, you don't give you logistics, you can't take these people with you. Admit, of course, that the white resume is bright. Starting from a small soldier, people started to fight and win hundreds of battles, step by step to achieve the great good manufacturing of the Qin Kingdom, the highest official position that the military general dreamed of, and he could also be regarded as a winner in life. Some people have done statistics, white life to kill the enemy can reach 200w, do not know the true or false. However, the four famous generals of the warring states period, why are Bai Qi and Wang Qi good at attacking, while Li Mulian is quite good at defense? Behind the war is the economy, and fighting a war is also a test of logistics, and grain, grass, soldiers, and horses are indispensable.
It can be said that Bai Qi's achievements are closely related to the strength of the Qin State. Just like why would King Zhao agree to Zhao Kuo's attack, or was it because Zhao Guo was short of food? If Zhao Guo's grain and grass were abundant, those who wanted to fight a decisive battle would be white. There are always people who think that the Zhao state had run out of grain at the time of the Battle of Changping, in fact, there is no historical data to prove that the Zhao state was short of grain in Changping, and the Zhao state borrowed grain to defend Handan after Changping, saying that the Zhao state Changping had no grain was misled by the literature of the land stall and the Great Qin Empire. On the contrary, it was the State of Qin, which had just experienced a great famine, and the supply line was long, and it could not be consumed at all, so it was only because of the anti-plot to replace Lian Po to avoid further consumption with the Zhao State.
In the end, Han Xin would not drag on to this situation and fight an unwinnable battle. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that victory is won first and then battle is sought, which refers to the situation and conditions of victory before going to battle. Referring to Han Xin's fight against Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu led an elite Chu army, with frontal combat capabilities exploding, and relying on impact force could crush Liu Bang's 560,000 troops. Han Xin proposed a roundabout battle, first eating Wei Zhao Qi and other countries, forming an absolute advantage and then seeking a frontal decisive battle. Therefore, Han Xin is there, there is a high probability that there will be no decisive battle in the Battle of Changping, and the strategy is very likely to be Lian Po to resist the Qin army head-on, Han Xin on the one hand to unite the six kingdoms to cut down Qin, on the other hand, to lead a partial division to maneuver around, to fight other parts of the Qin state, to mobilize the Qin army, to seek opportunities to annihilate the qin army's living forces, and then to lead the combined forces of the various countries to fight a decisive battle after forming an advantage. Of course, the big premise is that King Zhao should not help him.
