Wu Chenzi looked at Guo Kai and fell into deep thought. When King Xiaocheng of Zhao was in office, he was not only greedy for Shangdang, which led to the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, which made the accumulation of Zhao's decades burned. The rest were also a rare wise lord before the Battle of Changping. The civil officials and military generals of Zhao were not inferior to Qin and were a rare overlord among the six Shandong countries who could compete with Qin.

"I was still young during the Battle of Changping. I was just because the king is in power and I am one of the most beloved ministers of the king. Therefore, people inexplicably regard me as the culprit of the defeat of the Battle of Changping, and even the farmers removed me from the list." Guo Kai said helplessly. During the Battle of Changping, he had not grown all his hair, but he actually had to take such a big blame. Until now, he has not figured out what was going on. Why did the blame fall on him? As for why he complained to Wu Chenzi, he hoped to help him get rid of the blame through the Mo family's mouth.

Wu Chenzi looked at Guo Kai and suddenly felt that it was really sad that he had suffered a defeat in the Battle of Changping. The 450,000 troops were gone. How terrifying it would be to take such a big blame on him.

"What was going on back then? Why did Zhao suddenly change its generals at the last battle?" Wu Chenzi asked curiously. Changing generals at the last battle is a taboo in military strategists. There are so many civil and military officials in Zhao State who are extremely talented, how could they do such a thing?

"The Battle of Changping has been fought for too long, and the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops has made the State of Zhao unable to hold on." Guo Kai said silently, inexplicably taking the blame, he would definitely understand the whole story, and then he found that the State of Zhao had no food and had no food to be collected, so King Xiaocheng of Zhao had to find someone to replace Lian Po.

"The King of Zhao, who was the king of Zhao, knew that Lian Po's tactics could hold Qin and forced Qin to retreat. However, Lian Po ignored one problem, that is, the difference between the Zhao people and the Qin people." Guo Kai sighed.

"What's the difference?" Wu Chenzi also wanted to know Guo Kai's opinion. After all, he took such a big blame and must have a different view.

"The Zhao people in Zhao rarely experienced major wars and had no military merits. Therefore, the Zhao people in Zhao thought that they could stop the Qin army from being cut off and they would collapse without fighting. Therefore, Lian Po, the general, was the leader, dragged the Qin army. However, problems later, the Qin army fought to the death and refused to retreat, and the King of Qin also issued an order to collect grain. As a result, every household in the Qin State only left food to fill their stomachs, and all the rest were handed over to the grain collectors, making the Qin State's food and grass far better than the Zhao army fighting locally." Guo Kai sneered with a self-deprecating self-deprecating self-deprecating.

"Good old Qin, go to the national crisis together! This is not an empty talk. The Qin people's will is far superior to the six Shandong countries. King Zhao forgot, Lian Po forgot, and Zhao people forgot." Wu Chenzi could understand it. King Xiaocheng and Zhao State's initial plan were to use Lian Po to drag the Qin army until the Qin army was insufficient food and grass. Even the Zhao State's disciples also found out how long Qin could support the entire Qin army, so they chose to drag and drag down the Qin army.

Unfortunately, what is different from the other six countries is that the Qin people's bloodiness is that in order to support the frontline combat, the Qin people hollowed out their wealth and also had to support the frontline, which led to the Zhao Kingdom's miscalculation, so they could only change the tactics because Zhao Kingdom could not hold on.

"So when Changping defeated, no Zhao people in the entire Zhao State were innocent. The previous king also learned from Qin State and issued a grain collection order, but unfortunately the reply he received was that the people had no grain to be requisitioned. The royal family members also collectively opposed the grain collection, especially the royal family headed by the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, who collectively opposed the grain collection, so they pushed Zhao Kuo out, replaced Lian Po, and changed the tactics." Guo Kai continued.

"Zhao Sheng?" Wu Chenzi's eyes narrowed. Pingyuan Jun was good at raising his disciples, and the number of visitors reached 3,000. It was also very costly to raise so many visitors.

"You all think that Zhao Sheng's kindness and righteousness in the Battle of Handan, Zhao Sheng dispersed all his wealth and defended Handan. If Zhao Sheng did this during the Battle of Changping, the entire Zhao State would not be able to gather 400,000 troops. You should know that Zhao State is a local war, and the food and grass consumption is much smaller than that of the Qin army." Guo Kai continued. "The Battle of Handan is because the Qin army is already at the city, and he has to do that!"

Wu Chenzi thought about it and what Guo Kai said was not without reason. The food and grass consumed by local combat is indeed much smaller than that of the Qin army. No matter how rich Qin is, the food and grass consumed by expeditions is much larger than that of Zhao.

"After Bai Qi surrendered, he personally wrote a letter asking for the previous king to stop the war. His only request was that Zhao State transport the cut off food and grass to the Qin army camp. However, the former king refused. The Zhao family threatened the consumption of the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State to force the Qin army to retreat. The ending was that Bai Qi killed all the 400,000 soldiers of our Zhao State. The Qin army drove straight into Handan." Guo Kai said.

"Where are those foods?" Wu Chenzi frowned and asked. When the two armies were in war, although Wang Jian cut off the grain route transported to Changping by Zhao State, Zhao State must have enough foods if he could send such a large army. Wang Jian just cut off the grain route and did not burn the granary. So where did these foods go?

"It was seized by the Qin army!" Guo Kai said, "After Bai Qi killed our Zhao State's 400,000 troops, the Qin army began to attack again, seized the granary that should have been supplied to the army, so that the Qin army could advance to attack Handan again."

Wu Chenzi instantly understood that in the Battle of Changping, both Qin and Zhao had eliminated the accumulation of their own country, and the Qin army was unable to advance. However, after Bai Qi killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers, the Qin army seized the food and grass that originally supplied the Zhao army, which gave the Qin army sufficient food and grass to attack Handan.

"This is the game of the king. They will not care about the life and death of ordinary people, nor do they care about the lives of soldiers. Therefore, neither King Zhao nor King Qin have ever cared about the lives of these 400,000 soldiers." Guo Kai sighed. If King Xiaocheng of Zhao was willing to accept Bai Qi's armistice agreement and hand over the food and grass for the 400,000 troops, the Qin army would never dare to kill 400,000 soldiers. If the King of Qin did not insist on attacking Zhao State alone, Bai Qi would also find a way to seize these food and grass and then retreat.

"The King's Game!" Wu Chenzi also understood that in the Battle of Changping, the most important thing to take the blame was the King of Qin and Zhao Kuo, rather than Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo.

Han Cang was also silent. Although they were greedy for money, they could not abandon the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers as if they were grass. However, he did not expect that the real Battle of Changping would be like this.
