In order to alleviate the pressure of the Qin-Zhao coalition army, Lian Po was ordered by Zhao Xing to retreat into the eldest son of Taihang again, and with the dangerous terrain, the Qin-Zhao coalition army was blocked in the Changping area, and the three parties formed a confrontation situation.

In the face of the Tang army's obstruction, followed by the arrival of the first heavy snow of the cold winter, the war of the Three Kingdoms temporarily subsided.

Datang no longer attacked Zhao State, and also allowed Zhao State to fully operate the Shangdang region.

Zhao Bao, the new commander of the Zhao army, made a request to Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin state, asking the Qin army to withdraw from Shangdang.

King Qin and Bai Qi are both eloquent and strategic, of course they know that Shangdang is the hub of the north, and if they want to occupy it in normal times, they don't know how much blood they have to pay, but now that they occupy it, how can they give up easily?

Of course, Bai Qi resolutely rejected this request - unloading the mill and killing the donkey? Don't even think about it.

Zhao Bao also knew that Qin Jun would never give up this party easily, but he had full confidence to let Qin Jun get out.

When the envoys were negotiating, Zhao Bao began to mobilize an army of 250,000 in his hands and began to prepare for an attack on the Qin army.

In Zhao Bao's opinion, his army of 250,000 against the 70,000 Qin army was three times their number, and he was victorious.

Bai Qi had already mastered the movements of Zhao Jun, and for the aggressive Zhao Jun, Bai Qi just smiled slightly: "It's good to give people a head for military merit." It's just a pity that I destroyed the 250,000 Zhao army, but now it's just cheaper Datang, Zhao Xing, you should thank me. ”

Faced with the situation of the Qin and Zhao families, Zhao Xing was ready to relieve them again, so in the face of the Zhao army on the opposite side, Zhao Xing once again shrank his forces and put on a posture that I didn't plan to fight again, so that Zhao He and Li Dui could rest assured that they would let go of their hands and feet and do it.

Sure enough, Li Dui saw that Zhao Xing was no longer moving, and immediately ordered Zhao Bao to act, and he must deal with the Qin army of Shangdang before the beginning of spring, so as to prepare for the Tang army to be attacked from Handan in the south and Shangdang in the west.

Zhao Bao's mind was to delay for two or three months in order to consume the logistics supplies of the Qin army, and when the Qin army was cut off from food and grass because of the heavy snow in winter, the victory or defeat of the battle was decided at that time.

Unfortunately, Zhao Bao's plan soon fell through, in fact, Zhao Bao was ready to first thwart the sharp momentum of the Qin army in a way that was ready to work, and then wait for a favorable opportunity to attack. However, he didn't expect that the Qin State would summon millions of young people and dredge the channels, so that the Qin State could directly transport grain from the waterway, and its grain transportation was even faster and smoother than that of the Zhao State.

On the contrary, Zhao Guo has exhausted its storage due to the fierce war with the Tang Dynasty. Soon after the start of the war, there was a shortage of food and grass, and Zhao Bao dragged on for two months, causing Zhao to fall into a situation where there was no food to eat. At the same time, the Zhao army, which was originally good at field warfare, was used for confrontation, so that the Qin army could successfully outflank the rear of Zhao State, and constantly harassed Zhao State's grain routes, which made Zhao State even worse and completely lost the initiative. At the same time, due to the failure of Zhao's diplomacy (Wei, Han, and Chu were all afraid of Qin, Qi hated Zhao for participating in the war against Qi, and Yan was friendly with Qin), Zhao fell into a Jedi with no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside.

Li Dui exhausted all the methods in the back, and he really couldn't supply the consumption of the army in front, so he could only keep urging Zhao Bao to use troops as soon as possible. Zhao Bao was resolutely firm in his strategic ideas, his goal was to fight against the Qin army, and then at the beginning of spring, he would go all out to defeat the Qin army.

On this day, Zhao Bao was holding a bowl of porridge, and it seemed that he had to write a letter to him.

The letter said that this time, Li Dui tried his best again, and finally raised half a month's food for the army for Zhao Bao's front army, but it was also the last food, and if he wanted it again, there was no more.

In the face of Li Dui's resolute attitude, Zhao Bao complained angrily: "What is the use of half a month's food? In this big winter, how can we start a war within half a month, no, we must immediately help each other, we must raise another month's food, as long as there is another month, we can hold out until the beginning of spring, and when the time comes, we will be able to attack Qin. ”

As a result, his subordinates were drafting the draft, and there was a terrible report outside the account: "Report - the general is not good." ”

With the shout, a bloody man staggered in, saw Zhao Bao, and fell to the ground at that time: "The general is not good, the grain transported by Handan to the front of our army has been intercepted by the Qin army, the general, our back road has been cut off by the Qin army."

When Zhao Bao heard this, the porridge bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he stood there in a daze, his head full of the words grain and grass.

While he was in a daze, another soldier rushed in and shouted, "General, enemy, enemy is rushing in." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, he rushed out directly, standing on a high place, he saw a black torrent, rushing into his own military camp, and his own Zhao army, in the face of such a torrent, is like ice and snow meeting the sun, there is no ability to block it at all, in the blink of an eye, his camp was broken by the enemy, and then occupied a mountain beam in the middle of the Baili joint camp, and stubbornly guarded, the Zhao army's joint camp was isolated into two halves.

Zhao Bao organized the army at that time and stormed the nail in the middle of the joint camp, but Bai Qi sent many cavalry, according to a team of 5,000 people, to constantly attack the Zhao army everywhere, so that the Zhao army could not care about each other, and the war was difficult to solve.

At this time, King Qin Zhao learned that the grain route of the main force of the Zhao army had been cut off, so he personally went to Hanoi County, crowned the local people with the title of first-class, and recruited young and middle-aged people over the age of 15 from all over the country to gather on the Changping battlefield to intercept the reinforcements and grain transportation of the Zhao State.

Half a month later, Zhao Jun was completely out of food, and Zhao Jun began to cannibalize.

Zhao Bao organized several breakouts and was beaten back, and in the end, Zhao Bao was killed in battle, and the remaining 150,000 Zhao troops surrendered to Baiqi.

The Battle of Changping ended with a complete victory for Bai Qi.

But at this time, the entire Qin State was almost consumed. It was already spring, and the king of Qin dismissed the people urgently recruited and went home to farm, and on the battlefield, there were only 50,000 less men and horses left who had lost several battles in vain.

Faced with three times the size of his captives, the first thing Bai Qi faced was the problem of their food.

In order to go to the party, his Qin State has almost exhausted the stored grain, and Datang will never give up the party, Lian Po squatted at the door of the party, watching the big war between himself and Zhao Guo, the war has just begun, the real competition has just begun, then more need food, where is there still the right food for them?

And once they starve this group of captives, they will inevitably rebel desperately. Let them go according to the weekly rites? Is it to find your own death?

And to let these captives go back is to strengthen the enemy for yourself.

So, under the pretext of waiting for food and grass for three days as an excuse to appease, the Zhao army starved for three days, and then suddenly the whole army marched in, and slaughtered the Zhao army prisoners who were hungry and couldn't even lift their fingers. A day later, all the 150,000 Zhao prisoners were beheaded and then buried on the battlefield of Changping.

The news that Changping was destroyed by 250,000 Zhao and the last elite of Zhao State was transmitted back to Zhao State, and Zhao State was in mourning and crying.

Just when the spring flowers were blooming, Zhao He of Zhao State was captured by the people of Zhao State, and then, Zhao Xing was invited to Handan, Zhao State, and the whole country surrendered.
