In 260 BC, the Zhao army cut off the grain route and was trapped in Changping for forty-six days. The Zhao army's warhorses had evolved into a state of cannibalism, and in the face of a desperate situation, the Zhao army forcibly broke through without success. In the end, the Zhao army lost more than 200,000 people.
Zhao Jun
Zhao Kuo was shot by the Qin army's ambush crossbow during the breakthrough, and dozens of arrows were shot in his body.
The Zhao army was wounded, sick and starved and could no longer fight, the remaining 200,000 Zhao soldiers were forced to surrender, and Bai Qi killed all the Zhao soldiers due to lack of food and other reasons.

Zhao Kuo's father was the famous general Ma Fujun Zhao Hao. In the battle of Fuhe, Zhao Hao faced the brave Qin army and said: "Its path is far and dangerous, for example, the two rats fight in the cave, and the brave will win." ”
This sentence has evolved to the present, that is, "the narrow road meets the brave to win.". People with such ambition and courage can often burst out with amazing strength. Sure enough, the Zhao army led by Zhao Hao was more courageous, and the Qin army was defeated and returned.
Zhao Luxury
With such a father, Zhao Kuo naturally studied the art of war with his father from an early age, and often discussed military affairs with his father Zhao Hao. Not long after, Zhao Kuo was familiar with military books and talked about the military.
Once, when father and son were arguing about military affairs, Zhao Kuo actually outnumbered his father. This made Zhao Kuo feel that his military ability was invincible in the world.
Paper
Zhao Hao was not satisfied with his son's outstanding performance, the war was cruel, complex, and changeable, and it was not too prudent to be cautious, but Zhao Kuo did not realize this. In his mind, the war was nothing more than that, which made Zhao Hao more and more worried.
There is always a barrier between theory and practice. Familiarizing ourselves with the art of war and studying military cases can really help us grasp theoretical knowledge faster.
However, the most important thing in war is actual combat, and if actual combat training is proper, any military art and military cases are only floating clouds.
Li Yunlong is an excellent representative of the actual combat faction, with no culture and no military academy. Some, there is only the constant licking of blood at the knife edge, looking for a chance to survive and win in the rain of bullets. Because he knew that every time he failed, it meant the sacrifice of many soldiers.
Li Yunlong
This is exactly what Zhao Hao hopes his son can learn. Good commanders always grow in constant combat.

History did not give Zhao Kuo a chance to grow, because he was about to face his first commander-in-chief, leading himself, 400,000 Zhao troops, and Zhao Guo.
In 260 BC, in the face of Lian Po's unsupportable strategy, the Qin army was helpless. Therefore, Qin Xiang Fan Ju implemented a counter-plan and spread rumors: Lian Po was timid in the battle, and was about to surrender, and what the Qin army feared most was Zhao Kuo, and if Zhao Kuo was a marshal, he would definitely be able to win the battle.
King Zhao knew the abilities of Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao Hao, and also knew that Zhao Kuo was familiar with military books and had a great understanding of the military, so he decided to let Zhao Kuo succeed Lian Assy.
Lin Xiangru, who was seriously ill, heard the news and dragged his seriously ill body to the palace to see King Zhao. He explained to King Zhao: "It is really inappropriate for the Great King to decide to reuse Zhao Kuo based on his false name. Zhao Kuo could only recite the soldier's book left by his father, and he had no ability to respond to actual combat. ”
Guilty of The Thorn (Lian Po, Lin Xiangru)
Zhizi Moruo's mother, Zhao Kuo's mother, also wrote to disapprove of this matter. He also explained: "When Zhao Kuo's father was a general, he had a harmonious relationship with his subordinates and soldiers, and often shared the rewards. However, when Zhao Kuocai became a general, he made his subordinates kneel, and the reward was also hidden. ”
In the face of everyone's persuasion, King Zhao did not change his decision. King Zhao knew that in the face of the current situation, Lian Po could not stick to it and was waiting for an opportunity. King Zhao didn't want to wait, and took the initiative to look for an opportunity, in case he won.
Warring States situation
In this regard, Zhao Kuo's mother wrote again: "If the king has to do this, in case Zhao Kuo loses the battle, please do not sit with our family members." ”
After the State of Qin learned of the news, he secretly sent Bai Qi to command the Qin army as a general, and Wang Gong was changed to a deputy general, and ordered "Those who dare to leak Wu Anjun are beheaded!" ”

Zhao Kuo finally greeted his first commander, and his hard reading in the cold window for more than decades finally had the opportunity to be displayed. Perhaps in Zhao Kuo's mind, this is an opportunity that will wash away Lin Xiang's prejudices against themselves. It will also change the distrust of fathers and mothers.
Zhao Kuo, who came to Changping, immediately changed his generals and took the initiative to attack. According to Bai Qi's orders, the Qin army was defeated shortly after the engagement and fled along the road leading directly to Changping, and the Zhao army recklessly led the main force to pursue.
Seeing Zhao Kuo's plan, the Qin army quickly encircled and isolated the main force and rear army of the Zhao army. Zhao Kuo did not know the plan and commanded the whole army to attack the Qin army's position, but the Qin army stubbornly resisted and could not break through. The main force of the Zhao army had to build a fort on the spot and wait for rescue.
King Zhao's request for help from Qi and Chu was refused.
After forty-six days of siege, the Zhao army was already hungry to the point of eating people, and several breakthroughs failed. Knowing that he had fallen into the Jedi, Zhao Kuo made a desperate bet and led the most elite troops to break through.
The Qin army had already ambushed the archers, and Zhao Kuo was hit by several arrows. Perhaps at this moment, he finally realized that his father's evaluation of himself was correct. Leading soldiers to fight is not drinking and eating, the battlefield is changing rapidly, there is only one sentence on the soldier's book that reads "improvisation," and without rich experience in actual combat, how can we master these four words.
war
If he gave Zhao Kuo a while, maybe he could also become a famous general like his father. However, history has no ifs, just like the battlefield, and if it fails, there is nothing.
