First of all, Bai Qi in history is definitely not as handsome as Xing Jiadong in TV series. Leitian's true appearance is not very prominent, even worse than the public face. Specifically, it's a little ugly. Let's use the original words of ancient books to restore what the real Tian Lei looks like. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a wonderful book called Shi Shuo Xin Yu. Most people think that this book is just a record of the romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. In fact, he also has records of people from other dynasties, such as Bai Qi. How does this book describe leitian's appearance? The original words are: Wu Anjun has a small head, a pointed face, black and white pupils and can't move his eyes.
Bai Qi in Bai Qi stills is still very handsome.
Wu Anjun refers to Tian Lei. What is a "small head"? In fact, one explanation is that the head is pointed and flat, but there is another saying that it is not tall. So what does "pointed face" mean? Sharp-eared monkey's cheeks mean. Supposedly, a general like Tian Lei should be an eight-foot man with a strong and vicious character, but Tian Lei in history is not terrible, even obscene.
Although Tian Leiren is not good-looking, his brain is definitely enough. He was born in a poor mountain village in Shaanxi Province. Unlike Sun Bin, who was born in a military family, and Wuqi, who was born in a superior family, he was a self-taught military genius who started from a humble soldier step by step. Moreover, many historical records record that when he was a child, Bai Qi often told others that he had a dream of becoming a general. It can be seen that a great man is different from ordinary people, at least he has a strong heart for success.
Battle of Changping
Then let's talk about why Tian Lei committed suicide. There is an old saying that is particularly good, that is, "if you want to die, you must be crazy first." In fact, besides his arrogance, Tian Lei's death was also a double agent of Zhao. After the battle of Changping, Qin could have destroyed Zhao once and for all. Unfortunately, Su Dai's lobbying made Zhao Haoqi of Qin have no intention of attacking. Because Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, did not listen to Leitian's advice, he attacked Zhao twice, but both ended in failure. Leitian is very proud. In private, what should I do if I don't listen to my advice now? This word reached the ears of the king of Qin, who was very angry. In 258 BC, Bai Qi was demoted to a soldier, and later the King of Qin ordered him to leave the capital Xianyang. With the failure to Zhao again and again, Qin Wang Yue came to hate leitian more and more. Later, the king of Qin thought that Leitian was resentful and had better be executed. On the way out of Xianyang, Tian Lei committed suicide. At first, Tian Lei felt very wronged, but after a long time, he figured it out. He said, I should be dead. In the battle of Changping, 400,000 people of Zhao surrendered. I lied to them and buried them alive, which is enough to die. "So he drew his sword and committed suicide.
A generation of God of War ended his brilliant and bloody life. His outstanding military talent deserves to be remembered by future generations, and the dead soul killed by his sword really made him blame himself all his life.
