I watched The Two Heroes of Chu and Han first. The author wrote a wonderful story, and the seemingly rigorous history was written into a humorous story by the author, which made people want to stop.

Like The Sword of Purple Tongzhi, the history of China, which I can't bear to finish, began with the division of Sanjin.

The history of China is the most complicated and difficult to tell, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is one of them. I remember when I was at school, when my teacher taught me the history of China, he said that Xia and Shang Dynasties were divided into two parts: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ...

The author of this book makes this history clear, taking war as the starting point and stripping the truth of history layer by layer.

For example, in the battle of Changping, why did Tian Lei kill 400,000 soldiers of Zhao for the following reasons:

1. Qin, with the strength of the whole country, finally defeated Zhao and sent these surrendered soldiers home. After they returned, Zhao immediately organized them, and Zhao was at war again. What is the purpose of this war? This is a life-and-death battle.

2. Can we collect them all? The key is that this team is too big and there are too many people. How can you absorb and digest them? You need to find them a place to live and train them. Besides, if they are from Zhao and have a country, will they want to go?

There are so many people, not thirty or fifty thousand. Even if you try to collect them, eating is still a big problem, and how much food you must consume. It was the Warring States period, and there was a war every year, and every country didn't have much food.

4. Besides, it is not necessarily the order given by Bai Qi, but it may be given by the top officials of Qin State, and Bai Qi just carries out the order.

It was precisely because the pit was less than 400,000 that Zhao surrendered to the army, and Bai Qi was reviled through the ages. I was angry when I was studying history. It was cruel. People surrendered and killed them all.

After Tian Lei, let's talk about Zhao Kuo, the commander-in-chief of Zhao at that time. When it comes to this person, everyone will swear. It was his "theory on paper" that ruined the lives of 400,000 soldiers of Zhao. But is this really the case?

Let's assume that if you were the King of Zhao, Zhao Kuo would only talk on paper and never have any record. Would you hire such a person? Obviously, you will not be appointed. This is the power to pour the whole country, and this is the battle for national survival.

Zhao Kuo's father once led an army to defeat Qin Jun, breaking the myth that Qin Jun was invincible. In this process, Zhao Kuo also played a very important role. He is smart and capable, and he is his father's right-hand man.

When the battle of Changping started, the two most popular generals were veterans Lian Po and Zhao Kuo. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Wang felt that it was safer to be a veteran, because Zhao could not afford to lose this battle.

Then why did you change your position later?

1. The country can't consume any more, and the soldiers and horses have not moved food and grass first.

I fell into the trap of Qin.

So Prince Zhao Can can only choose to change generals and let Zhao Kuo take the initiative.

Zhao Kuo's notoriety has a long history. He is not wronged, but it is a bit unfair to say that people are just "on paper."

Read more history books, try to understand from different angles, and find that the truth of history is not as simple as summarized in history books.
