The Battle of Changping: How Zhao Kuo, who talked on paper, ruined the Zhao state

In the Battle of Changping, the State of Qin defeated the State of Zhao, killing 450,000 soldiers and releasing only 240 teenagers. Zhao Guoyuan was seriously injured and fell sharply from then on.

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo could be said to have been calculated to death. The most crucial step was to replace Lianpo with Zhao Kuo, and although Zhao Kuo was a famous general, but a general who even his mother hated, King Zhao was still sent to the battlefield, replaced by hiding in the barrier, watching the land being eaten piece by piece. The situation was stronger than the people, and the honest defensive strategy made King Zhao lose patience.

The State of Qin began a strategy of long-distance and close-range attacks, and began to encroach on from Korea. Korea could not defend the party, so it gave it to Zhao Guo. One of the reasons is that the people do not want to be Qin people, which is a bit of a contempt for the barbarians of Qin. When Shangdang fell, many people ran to Zhao Guo. Changping was just a place where Shangdang was on the border with the former Zhao State. After Lian Po was defeated and retreated, he stayed here to receive the people. This reaction of the ordinary people of the Shangdang also pushed the back to kill 450,000 Zhao jun in the white pit.

The Qin army fought away, and the logistics supply was definitely more difficult than the Zhao army. Therefore, in fact, lianpo cannot be beaten for a while, and it is possible to reverse the situation by delaying time. This is this kind of suffering, not so good, especially for King Zhao, the face is even more unbearable. At this time, Fan Sui spent money to buy off the dissension, so rumors spread around, saying that the Qin state was afraid of Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo, Lian Po was not a thing at all, and the turtle with shrunken head was easy to crush. King Zhao knew how to get off the donkey and asked Zhao Kuo to send him to the front line to direct the battle.

Lian Po objected, believing that Zhao Kuo was talking on paper and rhetoric, but did not understand the situation.

Zhao Haodu once said that he was a self-sufficient son and regarded war too casually. Fighting a war is a matter of life and death, but Zhao Kuo downplays it lightly and is very easy. It is not suitable for command, otherwise the soldiers will die on the battlefield.

Even his old mother had to come to oppose it, saying that when Zhao Hao became a general, there were rewards for those around him, and as soon as Zhao Kuo became a general, many people began to come to him, and the rewards he received were also placed at home. The old mother's reaction to this matter actually corresponds to what Zhao Hao said, and Zhao Kuo saw the war too easily. When debating, everyone can argue, it is very powerful, but the debate is won, and the battle is won without a hand. When debating, there are no real casualties and the burden is different. You go out to play mahjong, and the easy coping of wumao? What about five pieces? 50 pieces? I think the higher I go, the more different my mentality will be.

In any case, Zhao Kuo came on the scene, which was exactly in the arms of Qin Guo. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Bai Qi was secretly sent to the battlefield, and Wang Gong was demoted to a deputy. However, on the surface, it remained unchanged, not letting Zhao Guo know about the arrival of Bai Qi. Bai Qi attacked a must, and at the beginning PingYuan Jun thought that if he attacked, Lian Po could not fight, but defensively, Bai Qi could not eat Lian Po. This can be seen that the Qin State also feels the same way. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the defensive type of incorruptibility with an adventurous Zhao Kuo. Not letting them know that they are white is not wanting them to be vigilant.

As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived at the front, he immediately changed his strategy and sent troops to attack the Qin army. Bai Qi lured the enemy to go deeper, and this had to let Zhao Kuo know that it was Bai Qi who was fighting, otherwise he really wouldn't necessarily go deeper. However, Zhao Kuo's new official took office with three fires, and as soon as the war began, the Qin army was defeated and retreated, and it was still necessary, and it soared all the way. This is a bad thing. It was meant to be a trap.

Running fast, the soldiers were loose, and the Qin soldiers were already waiting in ambush, and as soon as they came out, they cut short from the middle. The front troops encountered the Qin army entering their own camp and did not fight. As a result, Zhao Jun was cut in half and could not respond to each other. The grain was finished. Bai Qi came to harass from time to time, and Zhao Kuo became a hungry trapped beast.

When the King of Qin heard that the Zhao army had no food, he even recruited troops nearby to intercept the Zhao army's rescue troops and grain delivery. Zhao Jun's head suddenly grew bigger. Zhao Qi Guo rescued the grain, but Qi Guo did not agree. This is the role of the long-range and close-range attack strategy. Of course, the State of Qi is also sad, waiting for the other five countries to be annexed, and it can only raise the white flag. Will people fight it down and give it to you? When people grow stronger, will they divide the world equally with you?

The Zhao army was trapped for 46 days, and the soldiers killed each other and ate their colleagues. It's tragic. The Zhao army did the battle of trapped beasts, the soldiers were divided into four roads, and the breakthrough was panicked. Repeat it four or five times without success. Zhao Kuo fought with his elite soldiers and was shot to death. The Zhao army was defeated and surrendered.

Because of the fact that the shangdang people fell to the Zhao state, Bai Qi was afraid that the captives would rebel, so he killed 450,000 soldiers and left only 240 children to be released back to the Zhao country.
