Historical allusions: Zhao Kuo/KLOC-0 on paper/In 262 BC, the Zhao Haoqi Xiangpai general of Qin attacked South Korea and occupied the Wild King (now Qinyang, Henan). It cut off the contact between Shangdang County (now governing Changzhi, Shanxi Province) and Handu, and Shangdang was in a critical situation. Unwilling to surrender to the state of Qin and seize Shangdang, the North Korean army generals sent messengers with maps to dedicate Shangdang to Zhao.
Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao (son of Zhao Haoqi Huiwen) sent troops to take over Shangdang. Two years later, Qin sent Wang Bi to surround the Party.
When Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao heard the news, he quickly sent Lian Po to lead more than 200,000 troops to save Shangdang. They arrived in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County), and Shangdang had been captured by Qin Jun.
Wang Bi still wants to attack Changping. Lian Po quickly held his ground and told the soldiers to build forts, dig trenches, confront Qin Jun at a distance and prepare for long-term resistance.
Wang Bi challenged Zhao many times, but Lian Po fought with them without saying anything. Wang Bi couldn't think of any way, so he had to send someone back to the king of Qin and said, "Lian Po is a veteran and doesn't go to war easily. Our army has come all the way here, and if this continues, I'm afraid there will be no food and grass. What can we do? "
Zhao Xiang, king of Qin, asked Fan Ju for advice. Fan Ju said: "To defeat Zhao, we must first ask Zhao to bring Lian Po back."
The item of the state of Qin said, "Where is this going?"
Fan Ju said, "Let me find a way."
A few days later, Cheng Xiao, Zhao Haoqi, heard a lot of comments and said, "The State of Qin is afraid of letting Zhao Kuo, who is young and strong, lead troops;" Lian Po is useless and will surrender soon! "
It is said that Zhao Kuo is the son of Zhao She, a famous soldier of Zhao. Zhao Kuo loved to learn the art of war when he was a child. When he talked about the principle of fighting, he was very clear-headed and thought he was invincible. Even his father is not in his eyes.
The prince of Zhao immediately called Zhao Kuo and asked him if he could beat back Qin Jun. Zhao Kuo said, "If the state of Qin turns white, I will also consider dealing with it. Now it's Wang Bi, just Lian Po's opponent. If it were me, I would beat him. "
The prince of Zhao was very happy, so he named Zhao Kuo as the general and succeeded Lian Po.
Lin Xiangru said to the prince of Zhao, "Zhao Kuo only knows how to read his father's art books, and he can't adapt to the situation. You can't send him as a general. " But the prince of Zhao didn't listen to Lin Xiangru's advice.
Zhao Kuo's mother also wrote a letter to the prince of Zhao, asking him not to send his son. The prince of Zhao stopped her and asked her why. Mother Zhao said, "When my father died, he repeatedly told me,' Zhao Kuo, a child, is arrogant when it comes to the art of war. It doesn't matter if the king doesn't need him in the future. If you use him as a general, I'm afraid Zhao Jun will be ruined by him. "So I ask your Majesty not to make him a general."
Wang Zhao said, "I've made up my mind, so leave it alone."
In 260 BC, Zhao Kuo led 200,000 troops to Changping, and asked Lian Po to check the military code. Lian Po surrendered and went back to Handan.
Zhao Kuo commanded 400,000 wagons, with great momentum. He abolished all the systems stipulated by Lian Po, and decreed: "If the State of Qin challenges again, it must be attacked head-on. If the enemy is defeated, it will be pursued, and it will not be finished. "
Fan Ju got the news that Zhao Kuo was replacing Lian Po over there, and knowing that his double spy had succeeded, he secretly sent Tian Lei to command Qin Jun as a general, and Tian Lei laid an ambush as soon as he arrived in Changping, deliberately making several defeats. Zhao Kuo didn't know it was a trick, so he chased it hard. Lead Zhao to the ambush place in advance, and send 25,000 soldiers to cut off Zhao's back road. Another 5,000 cavalry were sent to Zhao Daying, and 400,000 Zhao troops were split in two. Zhao Kuo didn't know Qin Jun's bravery, so he had to camp out and wait for reinforcements. Qin sent his troops again, cutting off Zhao's road of rescue and grain transportation.
Zhao Kuo's army, without food and reinforcements outside, kept for more than forty days, and the soldiers were complaining bitterly and had no intention of fighting. Zhao Kuo's troops tried to break out of the encirclement, Qin Jun fired an arrow, and Zhao Kuo was shot and killed. When Zhao heard that his master had been killed, he also threw down his weapon and surrendered. Zhao's 400,000 troops were thus wiped out in the hands of Zhao Kuo, an armchair coach.
Historical allusions: In 262 BC in Zhao Kuo,, hé, a general of Zhao Haoqi Xiangpai of Qin State, attacked South Korea, occupied Wild King City (now Qinyang, Henan Province), and cut off Shangdang (now Changzhi North, Shanxi Province) from the Korean capital. In this way, South Korea's Shangdang army became a lone army.
The leader of the solitary army said to the soldiers, "I would rather surrender to Zhao than to Qin." Zhao Dedang, Qin must contend. In this way, Zhao had to unite with South Korea to jointly fight against Qin. "
Everyone is in favor of this method. At that time, he sent an envoy to see Zhao with a map of Shangdang. At this time, Emperor Huiwen of Zhao Haoqi died, and his son Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao succeeded to the throne. Lin Xiangru has excused himself. Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Sheng are prime ministers. He returned to Korea after taking over Shangdang with 50,000 troops, and still appointed Feng Ting as Shangdang satrap. When he left, he said to him, "Shangdang belongs to Zhao, and Qin will attack." When my son comes back, please ask the prince of Zhao to send an army quickly to defeat Qin Jun. "
Ping Yuanjun went back and reported everything to Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao was very happy. He celebrated by drinking every day, putting aside the battle with Qin. The general king of Qin surrounded Shangdang. I stayed there for two months, but I didn't get Zhao's help. The soldiers and the people were so anxious that they had to open the city gate and desperately fled to Zhao. Defeated soldiers took Shangdang refugees all the way to Changping (now northwest of Gaoping, Shaanxi Province). When Zhao General Lian Po led 200,000 troops to save Shangdang, Shangdang was lost.
Lian Po and the soldiers were together, and they were about to fight back when Qin Jun arrived and defeated Zhao's outpost in one fell swoop. Lian Po quickly retreated to his position, held his ground, and told his soldiers to increase forts, deepen trenches and prepare for a long-term resistance with Qin Jun. Wang challenged Zhao Jun many times, but Zhao Jun said nothing.
The two trips took more than four months. Wang Can couldn't think of a way to attack. He also sent a message to the king of Qin, saying, "Lian Po has been through the battlefield for a long time, so he doesn't go to war easily. We have come a long way. If we continue to fight for so long, we will not be able to get food and grass. How can it be good? "
Fan Sui said to Xiang of Qin, "To defeat Zhao, let me try to get Zhao to bring Lian Po back."
A few days later, I heard a lot of comments, saying, "Lian Po is too old to confront Qin. If Zhao Kuo had been sent in his prime, Qin's military forces would have been scattered to him. "
Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao sent someone to urge Lian Po to wage war. Lian Po is still holding its ground. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao immediately called Zhao Kuo and asked him if he could beat Qin Jun. Zhao Kuo said, "If the State of Qin sends a white flag, I have to think about it. Now it is Wang, he is no match for me. " Hearing this, Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao was very happy. At that time, Zhao Kuo was worshipped as a general instead of Lian Po.
Before Zhao Kuo left, his mother wrote a letter asking Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao not to send her son away. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao called her and asked her to explain why. When Zhao Kuo's mother met Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao, she said, "His father Zhao She repeatedly told him on his deathbed,' How dangerous it is to fight, you should worry everywhere, and you are afraid of negligence. Zhao Kuo treats the military as a joke. He is arrogant when it comes to the art of war. If the king uses him as a general in the future, disaster will come to our home, and we are afraid that even the country will be destroyed by him. "I beg your majesty not to use him." Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao said, "I have made up my mind."
In 260 BC, Cheng Xiao, Zhao Haoqi asked Zhao Kuo to lead another 200,000 soldiers and horses to Changping Pass instead of Lian Po, and inspected the military symbol (two tiger-shaped tokens that can meet, so the military symbol is also called the tiger symbol), and Lian Po returned to Handan. Zhao Kuo commanded more than 400,000 troops, with a huge momentum. He gave an order and said, "When the State of Qin comes to challenge, it is necessary to fight back head-on; If the enemy is defeated, it will be pursued, and it will not be finished. " Feng Ting dissuaded him and explained that Lian Po's intention was to deliberately consume Qin's military power. Zhao Kuo said, "What do old people know?"
As soon as Fan Sui got the news that Zhao Kuo had replaced Lian Po, he sent Wu Anjun to Tian Lei to command the king. Tian Lei set an ambush, deliberately fought several defeats, led Zhao Kuo's army out, and cut off their rear road. Zhao Kuo's army will fight alone. They kept it for forty-six days, and there was no food or reinforcements outside. Zhao Kuo was shot dead by random arrows, Feng Ting committed suicide, and Zhao Junquan collapsed. Have Zhao Kuo's head off and order Zhao to surrender. Zhao is hungry and has no strength at all. As soon as they heard that the Lord had been killed, they all threw away their guys and surrendered.
There are more than 400,000 surrendered Zhao troops.
