The god of war, Bai Qi, has a very different evaluation in the eyes of different people, he is both a demon and a hero

By chance this year, I arrived in Gaoping County, Shanxi. After arriving, it was found that this place was the famous Changping in the Warring States period, and it was the place where the Battle of Changping occurred in history.

I went to visit the Changping Battle Memorial Hall, according to the director of the memorial hall, the discovery of this site was accidentally discovered by the local villagers in 1995 when they were building a house, and this memorial was built directly in the place where the villagers planned to build a house. The pit of bones was covered with a large piece of glass, and from top to bottom, you could clearly see the accumulated white bones lying horizontally and vertically in the pit.

The curator gave a detailed account of the Battle of Changping, and I became interested in this historical event. After I came back, I collected some information on the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, which Wang Liqun also talked about in the Hundred Forum Programs when he read the "History" and Qin Shi Huang.

In the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the overall national strength of the State of Zhao can compete with the State of Qin, if the State of Qin wants to unify the six kingdoms, Qin zhao must have a war, the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao, and at the beginning the commander of the State of Zhao, Lian Po, faced the fierce Qin army, occupied all the geographical advantages to build barriers, held firm and did not fight, and formed a confrontation that lasted for more than two years.

In order to break the deadlock, the King of Qin secretly replaced the commander with the god of war, Bai Qi, and sent someone to the Zhao Kingdom to use the divisive tactic to remove Lian Po and replace him with Zhao Kuo, who was talking on paper. Zhao Kuo turned from defense to attack, fell into the trap of whiteness, was killed, saw that the commander was dead, and the whole army had to surrender, and the number of surrendered was more than 400,000.

There were too many prisoners, and Bai Qi had a murderous heart, first captured the weapons of the Zhao Army, and was killed in the middle of the night without the Zhao Army being defenseless.

At that time, many of the soldiers who went to the battlefield were teenagers, and the more than 400,000 people who died caused Zhao Guo's living forces to retreat for twenty years to be exhausted, which involved hundreds of thousands of families, including their own fathers, brothers, and sons. The whole country of Zhao guo hated the brutality to the bone.

At dinner in the evening, the locals recommended a dish, which is high-flat roasted tofu.

It is said that this dish was invented by the Zhao people in order to vent their anger.

White tofu represents the flesh of white, people will compare tofu to "white meat", boiled and eaten in boiled water to vent their anger. First, cut the tofu into small pieces that are 3 cm thick and 6 cm square, and cut it into small pieces, which means a thousand knives.

Wanghuo is roasted on the iron grate with charcoal fire until both sides are burned, which means that he will be burned first, heated with boiled water when eating and then cooked, and when he eats, he will use chopsticks to open it, which means that he will have to divide the body after the torture, so he will not be hated, and the white brain pulp (cooked soybean residue) will be sprinkled with ginger juice, garlic paste, hot sauce and salt and stirred evenly, used as a dipping sauce. When eating, use chopsticks to pinch the tofu cubes open and mix them with the dipping sauce.

This is the thing in the world, Bai Qi is in the Qin Kingdom, he is a god-like being, an invincible hero. But in the eyes of Zhao Guoren, he was a murderous demon. The same person from a different position to evaluate, he is a completely different person, people are really emotional.

I was not too impressed by this history, even if I had read it before, but this time when I came to this place, I had a profound understanding of this history, so the ancients often said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is really very reasonable. Only those who have personally experienced things will be deeply impressed and have many feelings.

While we are still young and can still walk, we should really travel more to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and feel the long history of our history.
