Chapter Nine
Kill the god, kill the man, and Wu'an Jun.
The person described in these three titles is Bai Qi.
Bai Qi, also known as Gongsun Qi, was a native of the country. He was an outstanding military strategist and representative of military strategists in the late Warring States Period.
He was familiar with military tactics and was good at using troops. He assisted King Zhaoxiang of Qin to make many military achievements. As another outstanding military strategist in Chinese history, he was named one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and was also the leader of the four famous generals.
Carefully calculating Bai Qi's life record is really amazing and awe.
In the 14th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi was the main general under the recommendation of Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran. This was Bai Qi's first large-scale general led troops to fight. When he was just starting out, he defeated the coalition forces of Han and Wei in Yique, and at the same time annihilated 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces, becoming famous in one battle.
Not long after, Bai Qi was ordered to lead troops to attack Chu. The Chu army was defeated and could not defeat him. In desperation, he had to ced the land north of Shangyong, Hanshui and others, and tried to seek peace from Qin.
When he once again conquered the Chu State, he was invincible and captured five cities including Yan and Deng. Then he led his troops across the mountainous areas of Qin and Chu, cut off the enemy's support troops, and quickly advanced into the Chu State's territory in three directions, and surrounded the capital of Chu State, Yingdu.
During the Battle of Yanying, Bai Qi led the Qin army to march straight in, and was unstoppable. He directly led his troops to capture the capital of Chu, Ying, and the capital of Yan, burned down the ancestral temples and Yiling of Chu, causing major casualties to the Chu army, and at the same time, he killed hundreds of thousands of people in Yancheng, Chu.
When the Battle of Huayang, Bai Qi and Wei Ran jointly led the troops and led the Qin army to fight with the Wei State in Huayang, Han, and the Zhao State's army. The Wei and Zhao State also failed to stop the progress of the God of Killing. Qin State won a great victory and then occupied a large area of Wei State's cities, captured generals of Han, Zhao, and Wei State, as many as 130,000 beheaded, and more than 20,000 Zhao soldiers were drowned.
What really made him famous was the Battle of Changping, which shocked all the ages. This battle was the final decisive battle between Qin and Zhao, and it was also the origin of his name of killing gods and killing people.
The early stage of the Battle of Changping was a protracted war. Due to the years of war, the Qin State consumed severe domestic food and grass reserves, and the stalemate on the battlefield was not advantageous. Moreover, Lian Po used military veterans and was impeccable. After thinking about it, the King of Qin finally decided to use a counter-espionage strategy.
King Zhao was young and energetic and wanted to attack Qin, but Lian Po, who was proficient in military tactics, could not stick to it and did not obey King Zhao's orders. In addition, Qin's counter-espionage plan, King Zhao abandoned the famous general Lian Po and instead appointed Zhao Kuo, who was "talking about military affairs on paper", instead replaced Lian Po.
Zhao Kuo followed the intention of King Zhao and changed defense to offense. He changed the defensive deployment arranged by Lian Po and replaced the generals and officials to organize the attack. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Qin State secretly replaced Bai Qi with Bai Qi to the king who was originally in charge of the battlefield. So the killing feast began.
Bai Qi adopted the combat policy of pretending to be defeated and retreating to lure the enemy out of the position, and then divided the Qin army and siege it to annihilate it. He led the Qin army to fight with the Zhao army in the Changping area of Zhao State. The Zhao army participated in the battle more than 450,000 people, and the Qin army participated in the battle of up to one million. Bai Qi was unstoppable. The Zhao army was eventually defeated, and the Qin State won and then occupied Changping.
For some reason, Bai Qi, who was bloodthirsty, ordered all 450,000 surrendered soldiers to be killed, leaving only 240 young soldiers back to Zhao State to report the news.
After this battle, the Zhao State was greatly damaged. This battle accelerated the process of Qin's unification of the world, and was also the last turning point in the history of the Warring States Period. At this point, the unification of Qin State was only a matter of time. Bai Qi was also awarded the gods in this battle. Because of his cold order to kill all surrendered soldiers, because of this bloody method, he was respected and feared by people from later generations and called "killing gods" and "man slaughter".
Bai Qi served as the chief general of the Qin army for more than 30 years, siege more than 70 cities, and has never failed. He has made great contributions to the unification of the six countries of Qin. Therefore, he was named Wu'an Jun by King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
The Battle of Yique annihilated 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces, and completely wiped out the Qin army's way eastward advance.
The Chu army was defeated, and the battle of Yanying attacked Yingdu, and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Yancheng, the Chu State, forcing Chu State to move its capital. Chu State never recovered from then on.
The Battle of Changping killed 450,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop, and in a bloody way, laying the foundation for being the God of Killing by later generations.
According to later research, Bai Qi never lost his life. During the Warring States Period, more than two million people were killed in battle. In his hands alone, more than one million soldiers from various countries were buried. Such violent and terrifying achievements were like an envoy sent by God to end the troubled times, which made the world amazed and frightened.
But such a legendary figure ended with the final outcome of being so powerful that he offended Ying Hou and was demoted one after another. In the fifty years of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he was sentenced to death by Du You.
In the 19th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang specially set up a martial temple to commend and worship famous generals of all dynasties, with Jiang Taigong and Lu Shang, the founding military advisor of the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu of the Han Dynasty, as the tribute, and ten famous generals of all dynasties followed him. Bai Qi was the first in the left.
Shen Lang has been very interested in these so-called heroic deeds since he was a child. He thought for a long time and said to himself with emotion.
"This Bai Qi is really a foolish and loyal person. If he says he will die, he will die. If I have such ability as him, if King Zhaoxiang of Qin dares to let me die, I will dare to change the Qin Dynasty."
"absurd."
At this time, Chunting happened to return to the room, holding the newly brewed hot tea in his hand. He heard what Shen Lang said, and he said with a stern face.
"It's been so long, but when facing these secrets, I still take it for granted. Who told you that Bai Qi is dead?"
...
Chunting really unexpectedly every word we say. The end of this man who has been slaughtered for thousands of years does not sound like a death sentence by Du You like a history book?
Chunting did not pay attention to our dumb reaction, but blew the steaming tea cup, gently sipped the hot tea, sat down with satisfaction, and began to continue talking.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes died and injured countless times in battle. So the people in the water extracted resentment from the soldiers who died in battle, thus breaking through the barrier of China and leaving gaps in the barrier.
Although the leader clearly knew that the barrier of the Shenzhou was damaged by the Ruoshui because of the resentment of the people who died in battle, he had no choice. Since ancient times, there have been struggles in places where there are people, not to mention during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to compete for the common ruler of the world, the Central Plains will be in peace for one day.
In desperation, the leader had no choice but to think of another solution.
It is better to be distracted than to let the princes fight and fight each other endlessly, it is better to secretly support one side and help one side clear the obstacles so that no one in the world dares to compete with him, so as to resolve the emergence of resentment at the root. When a person with the emperor's order appears, the country will unify the world and rule the world.
After several considerations, the one he chose to help was the Qin State, which was successfully unified in the world in later generations. The leader hid behind the scenes and never came forward. He was the one who helped Qin State clear the obstacles on the surface, which was called the God of Killing in later generations!
