I Am Zhao Kuo, and I’m at Changping

Some of the people who washed up the Ten Philosophers in the White Net Temple are awesome Zhao Kuo and his own parents think he is not good. Lin Xiangru and other ministers of the Zhao Kingdom also think he is not good. Even the Qin State knows that he is not good. Some people who are separated by more than two thousand years think he is good

It was a foolish move to send Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po in the Changping War. Let's analyze it: I won't talk about the cause of the Changping War, everyone knows it. Strength: In the early stage, the Lianpo Corps of the Zhao Army was 200,000, and the Wanglu Corps of the Qin Army was about 250,000. Confrontation. The Zhao army is weak in military strength, but Lian Po is on the defensive side and has a geographical advantage, so it can be regarded as equal. Mid-term: Bai Qi of the Qin Army brought about 200,000 reinforcements to the front line. The total strength of the Qin Army reached 450,000 and took over the command. He used the strategy of luring the enemy to annihilate Lian Po's regiment. Lian Po fell into the trap, and about 50,000 soldiers on the front line were surrounded by Bai Qi. However, Lian Po made a prompt decision and abandoned the 50,000 surrounded soldiers and retreated to Changping, solidifying the wall and clearing the country. It can be said to be a very correct approach. The situation of the Qin Army in the mid-term: The Qin Army's 450,000-strong expedition was consumed by Lian Po's 15,000 men in the Shangdang area. The consumption was huge. The longer it took, it would be detrimental to the Qin State Treaty. Moreover, if Bai Qi's 45,000-strong army advanced, it would be blocked by Changping. If it retreated, it would definitely be followed by Lian Po and pursue it due to terrain reasons, and it would be in danger of defeat (you can look at the topographic map of the Changping area). Dilemma. The situation of the Zhao army in the mid-term: The Zhao army has shrunk by 150,000, but the comprehensive national strength of Zhao is not as good as that of Qin. Even if the consumption is only one-third of the Qin army, it is unbearable for Zhao. From here we can also see how strong Lian Po is. The reasons why Lian Po was replaced in the later period: 1. Lian Po saw through the Qin army's intention to fight quickly, and refused to fight, only waiting for the Qin army to retreat. 2. The several years of consumption of 150,000 troops by the Zhao State cannot bear the national strength. 3. Lian Po gave up the besieged 50,000 troops and retreated to Changping without mercy, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from officials and nobles to common people. 4. At that time, there was only a small road connecting the Shangdang area and the State of Zhao. Transportation was very difficult to supply as many as 150,000 Zhao troops. Other supply channels were cut off by the Qin army. This resulted in widespread domestic complaints about the military operations in the Shangdang area. 5. Qin's diplomacy was very good, and it united with Yan, Qi and other countries to increase military pressure on Zhao's border. After all, in the middle and late Warring States Period, Zhao State's military power was unprecedentedly powerful. No matter Wei, Han, Yan, Qi, Chu and other countries, they all faced Zhao State's powerful military. On the contrary, Qin State was not as threatening to these countries as Zhao State because it was separated by Zhao and Han. In addition, before the Battle of Changping, after the Zhao State became strong, it showed extremely strong aggression. Compared with the Qin State, these five countries hated and feared the Zhao State more. Therefore, except South Korea, the other four countries are very willing to defeat Zhao. So any countermeasures are not the main reason. To sum up, the vast majority of the ruling class in Zhao State require Lian Po to make a quick decision. However, Lian Po knew very well the importance of the Changping area to the Qin State (looking at the map, he knew that as long as the Zhao army occupied Shangdang, the Qin State could basically only defend passively, and would be killed by Zhao State sooner or later). He also knew that Zhao State's strength could not defeat the main force of the Qin Army head-on, so he firmly disagreed with a decisive battle. His purpose is to strengthen the wall and kill the 450,000 Qin army. But everyone in the Zhao Kingdom, including Lord Pingyuan, felt that the Zhao Kingdom could not withstand Lian Po's method of consumption. . . So I tightened my belt and raised another 300,000 troops, hoping to defeat the Qin army head-on in the decisive battle with a 450,000 army (this is not a fantasy, at this time, the Zhao State has a stronger combat effectiveness than the Qin Army with the same strength). And replaced the disobedient Lian Po with the obedient Zhao Kuo. The State of Zhao underestimated Qin's determination to capture the Shangdang area. The people of the State of Qin were happy when they heard that Zhao Kuo's 300,000 troops supported Changping. This was exactly the result Bai Qi needed. In Qin, almost all men over the age of 15 were armed and sent to the front line. Due to transportation problems between Handan and Shangdang, it took a long time for Zhao Kuo's reinforcements to arrive at the front line and take over Lian Po's command. What he didn't know was that the Qin army on the opposite side had already exceeded 65w at this time, and had already set up a formation waiting for him. As everyone knows, Zhao Kuo went to battle and was quickly divided and surrounded. . . . Zhao Kuo arrived at Changping and decided that a decisive battle must be fought immediately, because first, Zhao's national strength could no longer bear the consumption of a 450,000-strong army. Second, the transportation in Handan and Shangdang areas cannot transport the supplies and food of the 450,000 army. So Zhao Kuo went to the front line, and the outcome of the Battle of Changping was already determined: if you fight, you will be defeated, if you don't fight, you will be even more defeated. . . . Because there is no way to get back 45w without a fight. . That's right

To be honest, the Zhao State is bound to lose in the Battle of Changping. The Qin Dynasty can barely hold on. The Zhao State has indeed run out of gas. It just depends on how it retreats and how much strength it can retain.

The author is prepared to save some of his effective forces and cause Zhao to be defeated, so as to persuade other countries to come to aid!

And the person who rectified Zhao Kuo's name really made me laugh to death. Is he worthy? Let's not talk about not holding our ground, everyone has his own reasons. Logistics, we can't hold on any longer, the grain roads are constantly being attacked. It will be all right. But can any of you explain how it was possible to be cut off by 25,000 people and then divided by thousands of people? Standing on, you will laugh to death, all fools know that if you are surrounded, you have to break out and hold on for more than forty days? That's because Bai Qi thought it would be best to starve them to death. If I can get hundreds of thousands of wild dogs to escape, I can get away with a few thousand. This is not modern, and Bai Qi does not have hundreds of Maxim heavy machine guns blocking his hands. In that era, cold weapons were used. You tell me how it is possible to be surrounded so miserably. And based on the most circulated number of people (I think it's fake), 600,000 surround 400,000. I calculate that Changping is a valley, and the Qin army will block both sides. First of all, the place that can accommodate 400,000 people will definitely not be small, which means that any encirclement will have fewer people than the people being surrounded. Why not break out? Why hold on? Waiting for rescue? Who are you waiting for to save? Can't you understand this?

You really chose the wrong character to write about Zhao Kuo. Anyone who has read "Picked Up a Qin Shihuang" can't read other books. The protagonist of that book is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After seeing the system, I went home! What about you?

I just love to read system documents and make fun of them. But when I saw it, it was an interactive flow system. The system talked so much nonsense that I was shocked on the spot. . . . . . Maybe others can handle it, but people like me who love to read system texts definitely can't handle it.

It's really a pity for Zhao Kuo. Not everyone can go up casually. I really thought this was hundreds of thousands of people fighting each other. The strategic layout of the people is to stretch the Changping Front for hundreds of miles. There are many things to consider. To stabilize the morale of the army and spend so long in vain when there is a shortage of food is not an ordinary person. Putting aside other things, no matter how you talk on paper, Zhao Kuo's military theory can win his father. This is unquestionable. There is nothing to brag about. This is the fact.

This is a serious war article, but the military commanders express their feelings in a playful tone, giving people a strong sense of peacekeeping.
