The Five Classics

It's well written. Come on, you've brought me, who doesn't know much about history, into this.

"I am different from Mencius." It seems that people in the Warring States Period didn't like Meng Ke very much, so they probably wouldn't call him "Mencius", right? After all, it wasn't until the Song Dynasty that Meng Ke's status was elevated to "Less Sage". Author's reply: Thank you. That makes sense and should be changed.

Hehe. . . Good writing, good writing

And later Chen Yu was also Wu Anjun. Since ancient times, all those named Wu Anjun are famous people~~Looking from afar~ Really good article! Bai Dian has always written very few articles, and even less so well written~~I admire the author~~Save it for your collection

Bai Qi pushed and blocked, probably because he didn't want to fight a fruitless battle and let the Qin people bleed in vain. Because of Fan Sui's slander, he had lost his best opportunity to attack Handan. Handan was united, but Qin attacked Zhao and the front was stretched. After the Changping War, Qin's national power could no longer withstand such consumption. It's a pity that a famous general from Bai Qi fell into the mouth of politicians... Although 450,000 people were killed in the Battle of Changping, I always feel that there may not have been that many. Looking at the productivity at that time, the total population of Zhao State fluctuated around 200 million. Even with all the efforts of the whole country, the old, weak, women and children would still not be sent. In addition, before Bai Qi, Wang Lu and Lian Po had been fighting a war of attrition for a long time, and both sides suffered losses. After Zhao Kuo came, he also commanded several small-scale battles. After being surrounded by Bai Qi, and his final breakout battle, Zhao Guo must have suffered a lot of casualties. I personally think that the number of people who could survive being trapped and killed was only around 200,000. However, the issue of the number of people trapped and killed is still being debated, and there is still no conclusion. Before Bai Qi died, with his usual style of acting, he may not have said the words "I shall die". It is also unclear whether Tai Shigong understood it himself...

Bai Dian... You are so cute History books always say that Bai Qi is easy to kill, but in his current situation, is there any better option besides killing and surrendering? Not to mention the manpower and food and grass spent on suppressing the prisoners on the way back to Qin, King Shan Zhaoxiang would never allow hundreds of thousands of unstable factors in his country. He also killed so many Zhao people and completely dealt a blow to the Zhao State. From then on, the Qin State stood on the top of the Seven Kingdoms and overlooked the Six Kingdoms. Ps I personally think that Aeneas' journey to Italy is different from the Battle of Changping. At least after the defeat of Troy, he had no other choice but to follow Venus' instructions and go to Italy. It was a journey of survival... Qin's was unification~~ (it could also be seen as an invasion...)

I would like to make a small comment. Wu Qi, Shang Yang and others above are from the Wei State, not the Wei State. They just serve in the Wei State.

Zhang Yi actually had such a brand new explanation

It's a really good article

Great article! After reading it, I feel a sense of vicissitudes of life
