Bai Qi, known as the first of the four famous generals of the Warring States, has the title of killing god, if we follow the statistics in the history books, during the Warring States period, as many as a million people died directly at his hands. Most of them were hacked to death by the Qin army he commanded. Especially in the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi killed Zhao Guo's 400,000 pawns, and this time he didn't even use the knife, and he directly went to the hoe. Therefore, he is the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States, and he deserves it. Of course, things have an opposite, since the Warring States has the so-called four famous generals, naturally there will be a four major Yong in the future to echo it, these four major Yong talents we are indeed not very good at choosing, but the leader, must be made fun of zhao Kuo for more than two thousand years.
Zhao Kuo, the recipient of the term "talking on paper", was the first person in history to use theoretical knowledge to put his father who had experienced hundreds of battles to die, and the first warrior to be spurned by his parents. Zhao Kuo had not yet gone to the battlefield, and his father Zhao Hao said that this son would destroy the family in the future. And his own mother did not let much, and his son had just taken up his post as commander-in-chief and was about to take up his post, so he ran to Zhao Xiaocheng and said, "This boy has lost, so don't bother us, his family." It can be seen that Zhao Kuo's parents are not optimistic about their sons at all, and they are afraid of tiring themselves, if they are now, it is a person who has already published a statement in the newspaper and severed ties with the family.
And naturally, Zhao Kuo, who knew these things, must have also held his breath, wanting to prove himself, win the victory, and come back to punch his parents in the face. But in fact, Zhao Kuo played big, not only failed to earn his face back, but also put his life into it. In fact, there is no way to do it, the opponent is the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Qin Army, the commander is still Bai Qi, the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States, and if he loses, he will lose, and his ability is limited. Here we will first stop, as the saying goes, we cannot judge the size of ability by success or failure, war should be integrated to look at various elements, if we combine all the factors, we will find that in fact, Zhao Kuo's ability is still very good.
If he hadn't met the God of War Bai Qi as soon as he appeared, his ability would definitely be ranked first. Why? Here we first look at what Bai Qi said after the Battle of Changping: "Although Qin destroyed the Changping Army, and more than half of the Qin soldiers died, the meaning of this sentence is very clear, and the Qin army paid a very painful price in the Battle of Changping. And before Zhao Kuo was activated, because Zhao Guo's lianpo insisted that there was no big war between the two sides, there should be no casualties on both sides, and such a large casualty could only be caused by Zhao Kuo taking office and taking the initiative to attack.
In addition to the role of Zhao Kuo's counter-plot to replace Lian Po, there was also an important reason that Zhao Guo was really unable to consume it, and Zhao Kuo must have received a death order from King Xiaocheng of Zhao before taking office, so that he must make a quick decision. And Zhao Kuo as the manager, one is to have a mandatory task in the body, the second is to be looked down upon by his parents and wants to prove himself, and the third is that the ability is not bad, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, so he starts fighting without saying a word. Although Bai Qi was experienced, it was estimated that he had fought so many battles and had never encountered such a dangerous battle, so he tried his best to engage in various tactical actions, and as a result, he lost more than half of his own, and the Zhao army also lost less than a quarter.
According to the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army should be about 450,000 people, of which 400,000 people were killed in the pit and about 50,000 people were lost in battle. The number of Qin troops was not much different from that of Zhao Jun, and it was also more than half of the 450,000 people who died, that is, at least 200,000 people died, which was four times that of Zhao Jun. You said that if Zhao Kuo didn't have some ability, could he play such a result? Not only is it capable, but it is also quite capable, and in the local campaign of the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo must have won a good great victory in encircling and annihilating the Qin army, otherwise where would the losses of the Qin army come from? Moreover, if zhao kuo had not won the battle against the Qin army, he would not have fallen into the circle of white. If it is still Zhao Kuo too young to hold his breath, he will be named after a white name, and 200,000 people will surround and kill 400,000 people.
