An Analysis of the Reasons for Bai Qi Killing Zhao Jun

Introduction: As a famous generation, Bai Qi is a controversial figure. Before the battle of Changping, he was already a world-famous winning general. If he had known that he was a leader, the prince of Zhao would not have used a young man like Zhao Kuo. The author thinks that Bai Qi was already a great soldier at that time, which was valued not only by Qin but also by other countries in the Warring States. Otherwise, there would be no need to change generals in the battle of Changping. Zhao Kuo left the idiom "an armchair strategist", but in fact, his military accomplishment is good, otherwise the prince of Zhao would not like it, but he has an obvious shortcoming in fighting, that is, he has no actual combat experience and is headstrong. At that time, the only thing that could compete with the powerful Qin Dynasty in the Warring States period was the Zhao army with riding and shooting as the main force. Although he gained the upper hand, Zhao quickly recovered his strength after every war, which was a headache. The most direct cause of Tian Lei's cruel hand was Zhao Jun's capriciousness, and then he rebelled. During the centuries-long war history between the two countries, Zhao's subjects had a strong sense of national identity, so although they defeated Zhao many times, they could not fundamentally destroy Zhao's combat effectiveness and the imperial confidant. Therefore, Tian Lei, as a famous soldier in the Qin army, weighed the pros and cons and finally got the killer. From then on, Zhao was no longer a powerful army, and the military foundation for Qin to unify the whole country was established. However, he clearly realized that the consequences of doing so would cause strong resistance from the enemy, and it was bound to be difficult to fight to the death with Qin Jun again. So he refused the order of the King of Qin asking him to unite the army to destroy the war, and defended his invincible honor at the cost of his own life. The king of Qin killed Bai Qi, forcibly attacked Zhao, and Zhao broke the contract. Other countries also understand this situation. After the battle of Changping, countries quickly reinforced Zhao, forcing Qin to withdraw from the siege of Handan.

If only from the military point of view, Tian Lei's approach is correct, since then, Qin Jun has become an invincible division in the world. And through this killing, Qin Jun also played the role of bullying, because he killed himself, so he didn't fantasize about being favored by his opponent. Qin Jun fought bravely. Although there was a war and Li Xin defeated Chu, Qin Jun did not suffer serious losses. At best, we underestimated the enemy and used insufficient troops, which led to a temporary passivity and forced us to retreat.

Later generations often refer to these famous soldiers at the end of the Warring States Period as the Seven Women Mu. Tian Lei's first place is a full affirmation of their military talents, but when it comes to fame, they are despised by the world because of their defeat. But this is a famous soldier. Everything puts military interests first, and soldiers are in line with interests, even at the cost of eternal infamy. Compared with death, Li Mu of Zhao died, and they all died by the sword of their own monarch.
