History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 206 Battle of Changping
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said, "So, the more people know about history, the less willing they are to argue with those people, because they don't want to listen and can't understand."

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Yes, unless you really like them, who would have nothing to do with them?

I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed! And there are always people who regard that piece of historical material as a classic and publish it everywhere. However, history books still have subjective initiative, but they regard it as a golden rule.
Wuduyi: Alas, I can only say that this kind of person is a fool, and he is also a stubborn person!

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Yes, there is no historical data similar to his, so the credibility is average!
Su Yue also sighed and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the next battle now! This time it's the famous battle of the Killing God Bai Qi - the Battle of Changping!"

Capture Shangdang
At the beginning of the 261th year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty ( BC), King Zhao of Qin sent troops to capture the Fengshi (south of today's Yanshi City, Henan Province) and Lunshi (southwest of Dengfeng City, HEN Province today) in South Korea to intimidate South Korea.

At the beginning of the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), King Zhao of Qin ordered Wang Lu, the chief of Zuo Shu, to lead an army to attack and occupy Shangdang.

The people of Shangdang fled to the territory of Zhao State, and the army of Zhao State met the people of Shangdang in Changping (today's Gaoping City, Jincheng, SX Province).

The Battle of Shangdang before the Battle of Changping ended.

Lian Po retreated
In the fourth lunar month of the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (260 BC), the Battle of Changping broke out. Qin general Wang Lu launched an attack on the Zhao army in Changping. King Zhao Xiaocheng ordered Lian Po to fight, and Lian Po led his army to attack Qin. The army launched an attack.

The Zhao army wounded the Qin army's scouts, and the Qin army's scouts beheaded the Zhao army's general Qie (pronounced: Ji, the name of the general).

In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), Qin general Wang Lu led his army to attack, broke through the Zhao army's position, defeated Zhao general Lian Po, and beheaded four Zhao army captains, two important Zhao army commanders. The strongholds Erzhang City and Guanglang City were both captured by the Qin army.

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar in the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), the Zhao army built a wall and huddled in the camp, not daring to fight.

Therefore, the Qin army launched a strong attack, captured Zhao Jun's western camp, and killed two Zhao Jun captains.

The Zhao army was defeated in a row. Zhao general Lian Po led his army to retreat to the east bank of the Dan River and built barriers. The Zhao army has been timid and has not fought since then.

Therefore, King Zhao Xiaocheng was quite dissatisfied with Lian Po's fear of the Qin army and his long delay in making a decision, and sent people to blame Lian Po several times.

Zhao Guo negotiates peace
When the Zhao army failed in the first battle, King Zhao Xiaocheng discussed with Lou Chang, Yu Qing and others and wanted to personally lead the troops to fight the Qin army.

Lou Chang believed that doing so would not help, so it was better to send high-status envoys to Qin to negotiate peace.

Yu Qing believed that if Qin was determined to attack Zhao, peace talks would be difficult to achieve. It would be better to send envoys with treasures to Chu and Wei to make Qin fear that all countries would join forces to resist Qin, so that peace talks would have a chance of success.

But King Zhao Xiaocheng adopted Lou Chang's suggestion and sent Zheng Zhu to Qin to negotiate peace. Yu Qing repeatedly advised him, saying, "When Zheng and Zhu enter the Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin and Fan Sui will give him a grand reception as a sign to the world.

Chu and Wei thought that Zhao had negotiated peace and would not send troops to rescue Zhao.

The Qin State knew that if the world did not save the Zhao State, the peace talks would not succeed. If the peace talks failed, the Zhao army would be defeated. "

King Zhao Xiaocheng ultimately did not adopt Yu Qing's advice, and Zheng Zhu went to Qin to seek peace.

In order to paralyze the Zhao State, prevent all countries from collaborating, and buy time to strengthen military preparations in order to deal a serious blow to the Zhao army, the Qin State took advantage of the opportunity of the Zhao State to sue for peace, and enthusiastically received the Zhao State envoy Zheng Zhu, intending to promote Qin to all countries. , Zhao have reconciled to prevent other countries from sending troops to rescue Zhao. As a result, Zhao's situation became even more isolated.

The two armies change their commanders
King Zhao Xiaocheng was already angry that Lian Po's army had been defeated several times, and was disgusted with Lian Po's cowardice and refusal to fight. Qin's Prime Minister Fan Ju sent people to Zhao with a thousand pieces of gold to carry out internal intrigues, and spread rumors: "Lian Po is easy to deal with." , What Qin is most afraid of is Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She, the king of Ma Fu."

赵括
King Zhao decided to change generals. At that time, Li Mu was still young and had not yet made his debut.

Not long after the famous general Le Yi abandoned Yan and went to Zhao, he was granted the title of Guanjin, but his heart was not attached. The King of Zhao believed Qin's internal plot to be true and immediately called Zhao Kuo and asked him if he could defeat the Qin army.

Zhao Kuo said: "If the Qin faction becomes white, I have to consider dealing with it. Now it's Wang Lu who is here, and he is just Lian Po's opponent. If I were to replace him, defeating him would be a piece of cake."

So despite the dissuasion of Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo's mother, Zhao Kuo was sent to replace Lian Po as general.

In the seventh lunar month of the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), Zhao Kuo led reinforcements to Changping to replace Lian Po as general.

After Zhao Kuo took office, he changed the army generals according to the actual situation, changed the military system, and changed Lian Po's combat policy, and took the initiative to send troops to attack the Qin army.

After King Zhao of Qin learned that Zhao Kuo had replaced Lian Po as the commander-in-chief, in order to completely defeat Zhao and determine the outcome in one battle, he secretly appointed Wu'an Jun Bai Qi as the general, and appointed Wang Lu as the lieutenant and deputy general. At the same time, he ordered the army to strictly guard and change Shuai has a secret, and anyone who leaks the information will be shot without mercy.

Bai Qiyongji
When Zhao Kuo sent troops to attack the Qin army, Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to pretend to be defeated and retreat. Zhao Kuo didn't know that Qin had secretly replaced Wang Lu with the famous general Bai Qi, so he ordered Zhao Kuo's army to pursue the victory and pursue them all the way to Qin. Zhao's army was unable to break through the Qin army's fortress.

Bai Qi ordered a force of 2 men to raid the rear of Zhao's attacking troops and cut off Zhao's retreat. Bai Qi also ordered a cavalry force of 5 to insert between Zhao's army and the camp, killing the main force of Zhao's army. Divided into two isolated troops, and cut off Zhao Jun's food road at the same time.

Bai Qi sent out lightly-armed elite troops to launch multiple attacks on Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun was unsuccessful in several battles. Zhao Kuo found out that he had fallen into a trap and was surrounded. He was forced to order the entire army to stop attacking, build barriers on the spot, switch to defense, and choose an opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

King Zhao of Qin learned that the food route for the main force of the Zhao army had been cut off, so he personally went to Hanoi County (today's Qinyang and nearby areas in Henan Province), granted the local people a first-level title, and recruited young men over the age of 15 from Hanoi County to Changping. On the battlefield, intercept reinforcements and food shipments from various countries.

The Qin army won
In the ninth month of the lunar calendar in the fifty-fifth year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), the main force of the Zhao army had been without food for forty-six days. A large number of Zhao soldiers either starved to death or died due to failure to break through. The soldiers began to kill each other for food. Zhao Kuo organized the remaining Zhao troops into four breakout troops, and after four or five attacks in turn, they still could not break through.

Zhao Kuo breaks through
Therefore, Zhao Kuo personally led his elite troops to break through the encirclement, but failed and was shot to death by random arrows from the Qin army.

The Zhao army was unable to fight anymore because it had no general under its command and suffered heavy casualties. The remaining soldiers surrendered to Qin General Bai Qi.

Bai Qi said: "Zhao soldiers are capricious. If we don't kill them all, there may be another trouble."

So Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to bury all Zhao's surrendered troops alive, leaving only 240 young soldiers to return to Zhao.

In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army killed 45 Zhao soldiers and Zhao Shangdang people one after another. The whole Zhao country was shocked.

The Battle of Changping ended with Qin's victory.
