Chapter 471 Bai Qi’s Life

In the past few decades, Qin Yu used the Heart of All Realms to create dozens of worlds.

If the total population is added up, there are tens of billions of people.

This shows the horror of mythical items.

Qin Yu's current combat power is ridiculously strong, having exceeded tens of billions.

There are only three days left until the merger.

Over the past few decades, he has also accumulated a lot of civilization gold coins.

With a flash of consciousness, Qin Yu planned to extract some more characters.

Looking around the scene, in a daze, he appeared again on the lush cliff shore.

Qin Yu slowly scattered a handful of civilized gold coins, and soon each gold coin fell down at a high speed, and there were bursts of plopping sounds falling into the water.

Soon streams of light shot straight into the sky.

One red...two gold...two purple.

Qin Yu began to check them one by one.

The first is that red light.

[Introduction: Bai Qi is familiar with the art of war, is good at using troops, and has good relations with Ranghou Wei Ran. He assisted King Zhaoxiang of Qin and made many military exploits. In the fourteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Zuo Geng led the troops and defeated the Wei and Han coalition forces in the Battle of Yique, beheading 240,000 people and clearing the way for the Qin army to advance eastward.

He was successively promoted to Guowei and Daliangzao. From the 28th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang to the 29th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang's, he launched a large-scale attack on Chu, conquered Yingcheng, the capital of Chu, and occupied a large area of ​​Chu state. He was named Lord Wu'an for his merits.

Later, he repeatedly defeated the three Jin Dynasties and continuously captured the territories of Han and Wei. In the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the main force of Zhao was severely damaged in the Battle of Changping, and 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed. After the war, he advocated taking advantage of the victory to march forward and defeat the State of Zhao. However, because Hou Fanju was jealous of his great achievements, he finally agreed to cede territory to Han and Zhao to seek peace and stopped the army. Later, King Zhaoxiang of Qin launched another army to attack Handan, but could not capture it for a long time. He proposed to send Bai Qi as commander, but he repeatedly rejected it. This angered King Zhaoxiang of Qin and offended Fan Ju at the same time. He was finally deposed as a soldier and died in Duyou.

Bai Qi served as the commander-in-chief of the Qin army for more than 30 years and attacked more than 70 cities. He predicted the enemy like a god in battle, won surprising victories, and shocked the six countries. He made great contributions to the process of Qin's unification of the six countries. As another outstanding military commander in Chinese history after Sun Wu and Wu Qi, he, Lian Po, Li Mu, and Wang Jian were called the four famous generals of the Warring States Period; together with Han Xin, he was also called "Han Bai", and later generations often referred to him as Han Xin. , Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others are collectively called "Han Bai Wei Huo".

During the Tang Dynasty, he was ranked among the top ten sages in the martial arts temple. His military thoughts had a great influence on the military science of later generations.

After the Six Dynasties, Bai Qi was included in the genealogy of gods and ghosts by Taoism, and was gradually promoted and deified. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he entered the Immortal Class and became a divine general.

It is said that Bai Qi wrote military books such as "Array Map" and "Wonderful Marching Method".

Bai Qi, also known as Gongsun Qi, was a native of Yiyi and a direct descendant of Mi Jian, the crown prince of Chu Ping.

The time when Bai Qi was born was when the Qin State was becoming increasingly powerful.

In the twelfth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the State of Qin formulated a strategy of marching eastward to defeat the Three Jin Dynasties and plotting to conquer the world. Strong generals became the most urgently needed talents for the State of Qin.

King Qin Zhaoxiang was ambitious. After taking the throne, he continued to implement Shang Yang's policy of reforming France, thoroughly implemented the military merit system, and promoted talents from civilian backgrounds.

Against this historical background, Bai Qi was known for his "good use of soldiers" and was recommended by the new Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran, and was gradually appointed by King Zhaoxiang.

In the thirteenth year of King Qin Zhaoxiang's reign, King Qin Zhaoxiang launched an attack on South Korea. He first sent Xiang Shou to lead the army to attack South Korea, and then sent Zuo Shu Changbai Qi to replace Xiang Shou to attack South Korea and attack the new city of South Korea.

In the fourteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the allied forces of Han, Wei and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty guarded Weihan to prevent Qin from advancing eastward. Bai Qi, who was promoted to Zuogeng, led his army to defeat the Eastern Zhou army first, and then fought with the allied forces of Han and Wei at Yique.

He adopted the tactics of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, first weak and then strong. In view of the weakness of the Korean and Wei armies who were waiting to see each other and unwilling to take the lead in attacking, he first set up suspicious troops to confront the Korean army, and used a small number of troops to suppress the main force of the coalition forces, the Korean army; Concentrate the elite and use the main force to attack the weaker Wei army.

The Wei army was unprepared and rushed into battle, and was quickly defeated.

The Korean army was frightened and its flanks were exposed. They were attacked by the Qin army and collapsed without a fight.

Taking advantage of the victory, Bai Qi sent his troops to pursue and expand the results. With less than half the strength of the Korean and Wei coalition forces, he annihilated the 240,000 Korean and Wei coalition forces, captured Yique, captured Wei general Xiwu, and captured five cities.

Bai Qi became famous in one battle and was promoted to the rank of national captain due to his meritorious service.

After the war, both Korea and Wei lost their elites and were forced to offer their land for peace.

Later, Bai Qi crossed the Yellow River and captured the land east of Anyi in South Korea to Wanhe.

After the Battle of Yique, Korea and Wei opened their doors to each other.

In the fifteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi, who was promoted to Daliangzao, sent troops to attack Wei and captured sixty-one cities of Wei in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for Qin's eastward march to Weihan.

In the 16th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and the 15th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he and the guest Qing Sima Cuo jointly captured the walls of Wei State and then returned them to Wei State.

After that, they marched to capture Wan, a handicraft industry district in South Korea.

In the eighteenth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Wei Ran and Bai Qi led their troops to capture the 61 cities in Wei Hanei.

After that, Han and Wei became even weaker and were no longer able to effectively resist Qin's attack. In the twenty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin's reign, Bai Qi attacked Zhao State, beheaded 30,000 people, and captured Guanglang City in Daidi.

After the Battle of Yique, the Qin State intended to launch a southern offensive to continue to weaken the declining Chu State.

In the twenty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Sima Cuo led the Qin army from Longxi and followed the Fu River in Ba. After replenishing troops, food and ships in Bashu, they captured Qianzhong County of Chu State in one fell swoop.

Chu was forced to cede Shangyong and Hanbei to Qin.

In the twenty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin attacked Chu again. Bai Qi led tens of thousands of Qin troops to attack Chu from the direction of Wuguan.

At that time, King Qingxiang of Chu "relyed on the greatness of his country and did not care about his administration." The people in the country were disengaged and the defense was weak.

Determined to fight to the death, Bai Qi quickly penetrated deep into the hinterland of Chu State, captured Deng first, and approached Yan, a strategic location north of the Chu capital of Ying.

Yan is the other capital of Chu and the gateway to Ying, so it must be defended.

King Qingxiang of Chu sent the main force of the Chu army to defend the city to the death.

Bai Qi adopted the method of diverting water to irrigate the city, building a water-blocking dam in the west of Yan City, diverting water from the long valleys of the Western Mountains into long canals, and pouring water from the west of the city to the east of the city.

Hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and civilians drowned, the main force of the Chu army suffered heavy losses, and Yancheng fell.

Bai Qi led his army to the southwest and captured Xiling, which was located upstream of Yingdu, cutting off the connection between Yingdu and Wu County.

In the 29th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin army penetrated behind the Chu army, defeated the Chu army, captured the capital of Chu State Ying, and ordered the tombs of the Chu kings in Xiling to be set on fire to damage the morale of Chu's army.

Then taking advantage of the victory, they marched eastward to Jingling and Anlu, and attacked south to Dongting Lake and the areas south of it. The Chu army was defeated and retreated to Chengyang and Chen one after another.

The State of Qin made Ying the southern commandery, and named Bai Qi the Lord of Wu'an. He was able to raise soldiers, conquer battles, and gather the people in peace, so he was named "Wu'an". Bai Qi became famous all over the world.

In the 30th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi and Zhang Ruo, the governor of Shuzhong County, led their troops to capture Wu County and the Jiangnan area, and established Qianzhong County here.

In the thirty-fourth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Zhao and Wei jointly attacked Huayang, an important town in the north of South Korea. South Korea asked Qin for help, and King Zhaoxiang sent Bai Qi, Wei Ran and guest Qing Hu Yang to lead an army to rescue South Korea.

The Qin army adopted the tactic of taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared, and carried out long-distance attacks at an average marching speed of hundreds of miles per day. They suddenly appeared on the battlefield in Huayang. The coalition forces of Zhao and Wei were caught off guard and suffered a major defeat. They captured the generals of Zhao, Wei and other countries. , beheaded 130,000 people, and Wei general Mang Mao was defeated and fled.

He also fought with Jia Yan, the Zhao general who came for reinforcements, and drowned 20,000 Zhao soldiers.

In the end, Wei was forced to sacrifice Nanyang to Qin for peace.

In the forty-third year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi attacked Xingcheng on the bank of Fen River in South Korea, captured five cities, and beheaded 50,000 people.

In the forty-fourth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi captured South Korea's Nanyang land in the south of the Taihang Mountains. The purpose was to cut off the connection between Han Shangdang County and its southern half and seize Shangdang.

In the forty-fifth year of King Qin Zhaoxiang's reign, Bai Qi captured Han Yewang, and Shangdang's road to the capital was cut off.

King Huanhui of Han ordered Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County, to dedicate Shangdang County to Qin in order to ask Qin to stop its troops. Feng Ting was unwilling to surrender to Qin, so he sent an envoy to surrender to Zhao.

According to the plan of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and others, King Zhao Xiaocheng named Feng Ting Lord of Huayang and sent Pingyuan Lord to Shangdang to take over the land. At the same time, he sent General Lian Po to lead his army to garrison Changping to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

The State of Zhao accepted the Shangdang, which lit the fuse for the Changping War between Qin and Zhao.

In the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin general Wang Lu attacked Han, captured Shangdang, and then attacked Zhao.

At this time, Lian Po deployed three lines of defense in Changping: the first was the Kongcangling line of defense, the second was the Danhe line of defense, and the third line of defense was the Bailishi Great Wall.

The three lines of defense span tens of miles from east to west, are dotted and connected to each other. The first encounter between the Qin Army and the Zhao Army took place in the valley west of the first line of defense.

In the melee, the Qin army killed Zhao's forwards, broke through Kongcang Ridge, and captured Guanglang City, the important frontline town of Zhao.

After the fall of Kongcang Ridge, the Zhao army seemed to have made efforts to reinforce the north and south wings to contain the enemy who was advancing in. However, they failed. Finally, the west barrier wall (known as the West Long Barrier) of the dozens of miles north and south of Kongcang Ridge fell completely.

The Qin army's offensive was unstoppable, and the Zhao army suffered heavy losses in consecutive battles.

Lian Po re-analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves. After seeing that the terrain was not conducive to Zhao's army, and that Qin's supply line was much longer than Zhao's, and its logistical support was more difficult than Zhao's, he decided to abandon the position on the west bank of the Dan River, which was difficult to defend, and shrink the entire army to the Dan River. The second line of defense to the east was to build a barrier, determined to wait for work at leisure, in order to frustrate the Qin army's vigor and hold on to wait for changes.

Judging from the tactical purpose of holding on, Lian Po was successful. No matter how hard the Qin army attacked, they could not break through the Danhe defense line, and the Qin and Zhao armies formed a confrontation.

The war lasted for three years, and the Qin army lost troops and generals. "Warring States Policy·Qi Ce II" contains: "Qin attacked Zhao Changping, Zhao had no food, and asked Qi to send grain to Qi, but Qi refused to listen."

The Zhao State could no longer sustain the strategic stalemate. Zhao State's grain output was only one-third of Qin State's. The war lasted for three years. The huge consumption of 200,000 troops completely exposed the weakness of Zhao State's economic weakness, making it even more eager to end the war. .

In addition, Zhao She defeated the Qin army in a battle with Yan, which made Zhao Guo feel lucky. If he concentrated his forces to fight to the death, Qin might not be invincible, so he changed his strategy and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo.

When Zhao State changed its generals to fight against the Qin army, King Qin Zhaoxiang also secretly sent Bai Qi as general to lead the army on the front line.

Faced with an opponent who underestimated the enemy, Bai Qi decided to retreat to lure the enemy, divide and encircle him.

He ordered the frontline troops to be responsible for the task of luring the enemy. When the Zhao army attacked, he feigned defeat and retreated, attracting the Zhao army into the bag-shaped ambush built by the main force of the Qin army. Then he sent two surprise troops from the flanks, one with 20,000 light troops. Five thousand people traveled a long distance, went around behind Zhao Jun, and attacked Zhao Jun's last line of defense, the Hundred Miles of Stone Great Wall.

The mountain range where the Bailishi Great Wall is located stretches abruptly across the plains, with one side leading to the front line of Changping and the other side leading to the rear of Zhao State.

Because Zhao Jun blindly attacked and concentrated heavy troops on the front line, the rear was empty. The Qin army took advantage of Zhao Jun's unpreparedness and captured it, cutting off Zhao Jun in Changping from the rear. This was the beginning of Zhao Jun's crisis.

The Qin army unexpectedly penetrated behind the Zhao army and attacked the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall. This reflected Bai Qi's consistent tactical style of hiding deep and avoiding the real to attack the weak.

While the Qin army made a surprise attack on the Bailishi Great Wall, the Qin army on the front battlefield in Changping looked like it was retreating steadily.

In August, Zhao Kuo, who was bent on seeking a decisive battle, rashly launched an offensive without knowing the truth. The Qin army pretended to be defeated, and secretly spread out two wings to set up surprise troops to threaten the Zhao army. They wedged themselves between the Zhao army's vanguard and the main force, waiting for opportunities. Split.

Zhao Kuo was completely unaware that there was a huge pocket-shaped Qin army's preset position in front of him. At this time, Bai Qi sent another surprise force, which suddenly appeared behind Zhao Jun and used the terrain to block the entire bag-shaped ambush circle. , the entire Zhao army was surrounded.

Zhao Kuo killed eight captains in a row to stabilize the morale of the army, and ordered hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to attack the Qin army's barriers from all directions, but they were never able to break through.

Bai Qi ordered his troops on both sides to attack quickly and cut the Zhao army into three sections. The Zhao army was separated head and tail, and the food route was cut off. The Qin army sent light cavalry to constantly harass the Zhao army.

Zhao Jun's battle situation was critical, so he had to build a barrier to wait for reinforcements.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard that Zhao's food routes had been cut off, and went to Hanoi County to supervise the war in person. He recruited all men over the age of fifteen to participate in the battle, and awarded the applicants a first-class title, so that he could devote all his country's efforts to fighting Zhao.

In September, Zhao soldiers had been without food for forty-six days. They were hungry, their morale was shaken, and they even killed each other.

Zhao Kuo was desperate and regrouped his troops. He divided his troops into four groups and took turns to break out. However, they were unable to escape. Zhao Kuo personally led his elite troops to fight, but was shot dead by the Qin army.

The Zhao army was defeated and 400,000 Zhao soldiers surrendered. Bai Qi discussed with his subordinates and said: "Qin had already captured Shangdang, and the people of Shangdang did not want to surrender to Qin but surrendered to Zhao. Zhao's soldiers are capricious. If we don't kill them all, I'm afraid it will cause disaster in the future."

So he deceived and killed all the 400,000 soldiers of Zhao Jiang, leaving only 240 young soldiers to return to Zhao to report the news.

In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army killed and captured a total of 450,000 Zhao soldiers, creating the largest annihilation battle in the history of pre-Qin warfare in China.

After the war, the whole Zhao country was shocked, and their vitality was severely damaged, and they were unable to recover.
