In the middle of the night, there was no light on in a small room, and the only light source was a computer screen that emitted a faint light, and the silhouette of a teenager sat on a computer chair flickering on and off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the crackling sound of typing on the mechanical keyboard, two words appeared on Baidu's search box - Zhao Kuo!

Baidu Encyclopedia: Zhao Kuo (?-260 BC), Ying surname, Zhao family, name Kuo. During the Warring States Period, he was a native of Zhao and the son of Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo is familiar with military books, but he lacks battlefield experience and does not know how to be flexible. In the battle of Changping in the seventh year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Guozhong Qin State's counter-plot used Zhao Kuo to replace the veteran Lian Po. Zhao Kuoyi reversed Lian Po's strategy, changed defense to offense, and took the initiative to attack the Qin army on all fronts in Changping. The Qin general Bai Qi divided his troops into two routes: one was a feint and the Zhao army was attracted to the Qin army's ramparts, and the other road was cut off from the Zhao army's rear road and a counter-encirclement was carried out, so that the Zhao army's grain route was cut off and trapped in Changping.

In the end, the Zhao army did not eat for 46 days, and failed to break through five times in four ways, Zhao Kuo personally led the warriors to break through, killed the enemy bravely, was shot and killed by the Qin army, and more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers surrendered, and then were killed by the Qin army.

The young man stared at the computer screen, pulled the web page, and when he saw that 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed, his whole hand was shaking, and he continued to pull down, and there were many people on the web page who commented on Zhao Kuo.

Most of the opinions are that Zhao Kuo is an idiot, an idiot who entered the encirclement with an army of 400,000 in less than a month, and then there are quotations from various people.

This is the mainstream point of view, which comes from the conclusion of Zhao Kuo's coffin in the historical records, and it is on paper!

The boy did not continue the search, but sat down in his chair, staring at the screen, his eyes wandering, and his thoughts went back to more than 2,000 years ago, that war-torn era, and no one knew better than him what happened in that year.

The Battle of Changping originated from Qin's covetousness for the Shangdang. Shangdang is the place of South Korea, South Korea has always been relatively weak, and the persecution of Qiang Qin is intended to make Shangdang surrender without a fight. But Feng Ting, the county guard of Shangdang, felt aggrieved, anyway, he couldn't beat it, so it was better to surrender Zhao than to Qin, and pull Zhao into the water, so he dedicated the seventeen empty cities of Shangdang to King Zhao.

At that time, Zhao Guo and the court of Zhao argued endlessly, this temptation was too great, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao thought that this kind of pie in the sky was not a good omen, and strongly persuaded Zhao Wang not to have it;

King Zhao's meaning must be wanted, normal thinking, don't be in vain, among the entire Seven Kingdoms, only Zhao can compete with Qin militarily, so King Zhao accepted it happily, no one thought that this reason triggered the strategic decisive battle between Zhao and Qin.

(The evaluation of the historical records says that King Zhao is short-sighted, but the Shangdang is a strategic location, and Zhao originally had the Beishang Party, and now the Nanshang Party is sent to the door, if it is conceded to Qiang Qin, it is equivalent to increasing the chips of the opponent and making himself a shrinking turtle.) ）

Since the Hufu cavalry of King Wuling of Zhao, although the number of soldiers of Zhao is inferior to that of Qin, most of them are cavalry, and the quality is superior.

The Battle of Changping began, and the first to play was the famous general Lian Po, and there was also an allusion that Lian Po was old, and he could still eat?

The Battle of Changping lasted for three years, and the first two years were all confrontations, and the coach was Lian Po, and he also had contacts and dealings, which is why later people belittled Zhao Kuo? Because Zhao Guo later changed generals, the two were a fiasco in the hands of Zhao Kuo, and 400,000 elites were killed, which undoubtedly showed that Zhao Kuo was an idiot.

The boy stared at the computer screen and laughed miserably, and later generations thought that war was too simple, and there were always more ignorant people than those who saw clearly.

Thinking of General Lian Po, who had a violent temper and scolded people at every turn, the young man couldn't hate it a little, because it was General Lian Po who was the most depressed later.

The two countries are at war, the war is not only on the surface, General Lian Po made a strategic mistake, he wanted to preserve his strength, and he did not take this battle seriously, thinking that the Qin State could not be defeated, and it was an expedition of laborers, and he would leave if he could not attack for a long time, so he took the troops near Shangdang Danshui to confront the Qin State, and only fought a small-scale battle, so the battle became a war of attrition.

The army did not move, the grain and grass went first, the war of attrition was the economic war, in the military Zhao and Qin were evenly divided, but a dozen wars of attrition, Zhao lost steadily, in terms of comprehensive national strength, Zhao was far behind Qin.

The armies are facing each other, the people eat the horses and chew, and the grain and grass must be supplied. Although from the straight-line distance on the map, Zhao is close to Shangdang, and Qin is far away from Shangdang, but the grain road of the Zhao army to transport grain is extremely steep, and it has to cross the rugged and precipitous Taihang Mountains, while Qin is far away, but the terrain is a flat river, and the rivers are all over, it is not too convenient to transport grain by water, and there is almost no loss of grain and grass.

Diplomatically, other countries are happy to see the two military powers fighting each other and consuming each other, so Zhao can hardly borrow food.

During the two years of confrontation, the Zhao State was almost dragged down, and if it dragged on, the Zhao State collapsed without a fight. The change of Zhao State is not what the king of Zhao recorded in the historical records of later generations, but it is a last resort, and the high-level officials of Zhao are not stupid, who does not know that the temporary change will be a taboo.

However, although General Lian Po held on for two years, although there was no loss in military strength, the confrontation was already in the hands of Qin in the later stage, and it was no longer meaningful to hold on to this battle, and Shangdang had already been lost.

This is a mess, almost no generals are willing to take it, this is a decisive battle, it's good to win, but losing is a big crime to punish the nine clans!

The young man thought about it, his eyes moistened, he still remembered that he had great ambitions, he loved Zhao Guo deeply, and under the influence of his father since he was a child, he was also determined to become a generation of famous generals, and laid a big country for Zhao Guo.

Since the beginning of the battle for the upper party, he wanted to go to the battlefield, but was stopped by his father, saying that he was still too young and needed to be tempered, so don't rush it. Moreover, the Zhao family is already a big family, and it is impossible to go further, and my father has long judged that the battle for the party is not so easy to fight.

Later, when the war took a turn for the worse and Zhao was about to be dragged down, it happened that his father was critically ill, and he was the only son of the Zhao family, and he didn't want him to take risks, and even left his last words to tell King Zhao that he was not available.

In the end, he still had to fight, including his mother, Lin Xiangru, who had been respected since childhood, was sick and sternly stopped him......

When the eldest husband died on the battlefield, it was his duty, he was the strongest in the younger generation, full of sharpness, King Zhao gave him a water pattern green dragon pendant, and made a promise, no matter what the result is, he will not implicate the Zhao family, as long as he can win, he will marry Princess Wan'er to him, and give him the title of royal family.

The army went out, Princess Wan'er, tear-eyed and sent the army thousands of miles on foot, he carried too much, carrying the hope of the entire Zhao country, as well as the hope of Princess Wan'er.

As soon as I arrived at the front line, I saw that the once elite Zhao Guoerlang looked yellow and thin, not at all like the former tiger and wolf army, the shortage of food and grass was to a terrible extent, and most of the soldiers were hungry and fighting.

The cavalry of Zhao is invincible in the world, it is a sharp spear, and defense is equivalent to being beaten.

It's not that he doesn't want to defend, it's that he really can't defend, as soon as he came, he led the cavalry to charge, won several small victories, and his morale increased greatly. It's just that the Qin army is hateful, even if it is defeated, it will burn the grain and grass and not leave them a grain of grain.

The next few battles turned into bitter battles, every day and every night was torment, people were constantly dying, people were constantly fleeing, and even the horses were hungry and couldn't run.

is already red-eyed, Zhao and Qin will not take a step back, and the final decisive battle is in Changping, when Qin put out a pocket formation, he calculated, what he didn't calculate was that Qin Guo also changed generals on the spot, and secretly changed to Bai Qi.

Knowing that it was a pocket formation, why did he still drill it? Because this was a big gamble on his part, he wanted to settle the battle in one battle, and he believed that the sharpness of the cavalry of the Zhao State, as long as it penetrated the bottom of the pocket of the Qin army, the cavalry drove straight in, the Qin army would be greatly defeated, and the remaining grain and grass would not be enough to support him to consume.

So he took out the last grain and grass left in the army, let the soldiers eat enough, and then left enough rations for three days, and went into battle lightly.

No one expected that this assault and counter-encirclement would last for more than 40 days, which was more than 40 days and nights like a nightmare, and more than 40 days and nights when there was no good sleep, lack of food and clothing, daily killing, cannibalism, missing relatives, shrouded in the shadow of death, and gradually collapsed psychologically!

Constant assaults, constant surrounding, assaults, and surroundments, the tenacity of the Qin army exceeded his expectations, and later he learned that his opponent was Bai Qi, who had great achievements. (Zhao Kuo was in his early twenties that year, and Bai Qi was approaching fifty.) ）

He was uncomfortable, and Bai Qi was not comfortable, the casualties of the Qin soldiers were nearly two-thirds, and the number of people surrounded by him continued to decrease sharply, and Bai Qi was about to be unable to surround him.

He calculated early in the morning that there was a famine in Guanzhong at this time in the Qin State, and his own personnel were decreasing sharply, and it was not surprising that the Qin State had no troops to increase at this time, and he thought that he was going to win.

But I didn't expect King Qin Zhaoxiang to personally go to Hanoi, which had just been handed over, to recruit soldiers, and even children about fifteen years old were not spared, and they were directly pulled to the battlefield to be cannon fodder for the army......

In the battlefield, you can do whatever it takes to win, but every day you kill a child who is shaking with a weapon, and anyone will be shocked!!

In the last few days, the soldiers were almost desperate, the enemy could never be killed, and like the previous two years of the campaign, they were going to be consumed, they had been without food for more than forty days, they ate the flesh and blood of their comrades every day, and there was even an outbreak of plague in the army, many people began to feel homesick, and even many low sobs came from the night......

The soldiers can surrender lightly, but he can't, he can't even show a little bit of loss, the cavalry of Zhao is indeed powerful, but at this time, the war horse is already thin and can't charge, and he is in a desperate situation, he has nothing to do.

In the last charge, he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and died, as soon as he died, the entire army began to collapse, and he expected the surrender of 400,000 elites, but he never expected that 400,000 Zhao Guoerlang would all be killed by Bai Qi, so he was killed.

He clenched his fists, his heart throbbed incessantly, even though more than two thousand years had passed, even if he had come back to life, he still couldn't breathe.

The faces of countless sons and daughters seem to linger in front of them, and the words spoken seem to be in their ears, as if they were yesterday.

"General, we will win, General Zhao Hao led us to win a big victory here, the tiger father has no dog, the general can too, we will win, we will win!"

"The general is right, we are not afraid of the pocket array, as long as we break through as fast as possible before closing the siege, that group of Qin Wangba has no way to take us, have you ever seen a king babe surround the dragon? haha!"

"Our Zhao Guoerlang is not a turtle with a shrunken head, let those Qin troops know that the cavalry of Zhao State is sharp and unstoppable, invincible in the world, kill, kill, kill !!"

"General, the enemy, surrounded again, general, quickly break through, we will break off, for the sake of Zhao State, we will win!!"

"General, the sons have been out of food for many days, and they have already begun to kill their beloved war horses. ”

"General, a soldier who can't hold on, he gave himself the result, saying that his body without food is food, we can't lose, we must win!"

"General, Qin Wangba is so despicable, using children as cannon fodder, I'm sorry!"

"General, I can't finish killing, there are too many enemies, too many, do we still have reinforcements?"

"General, the soldiers said that they were a little homesick, but we will win, and Qin Wangba will not be able to hold on. ”

"General, I think we're going to lose, are we really defeated?"

"General, general............ You can't die, what are we going to do if you die!!"
