The so-called 400,000 are not prisoners of war, but Feng Ting and his party soldiers and civilians, Bai Qi said clearly in the "Historical Records", Wu Anjun said: "The former Qin has been pulled out of the party, and the people of the party are not happy to return to Zhao for Qin." Zhao repeatedly. If you don't kill them all, I'm afraid it will be chaos. "It is blackmail, and they kill them all.
In view of Zhao Kuo's weakness of eagerness to win, Bai Qi adopted the operational policy of feint defeat and retreat, lure the enemy from the position, and then divide and encircle and annihilate him, and finally won the war.
The Battle of Changping was the last turning point in the history of the Warring States Period, and the unification of Qin was only a matter of time. This battle was the earliest, largest, and most thorough large-scale war of annihilation in ancient Chinese military history.
In the face of 400,000 prisoners of war, if they are released, the Zhao army will be cultivated, and the unification of the Qin State will be greatly hindered; If it is collected, it will be fought for many years, and the national strength of the Qin State will be empty, and it will not be able to support so many people. At that time, for the Qin State, killing was the best solution.
However, the astonishing combat power of the Zhao soldiers before their death also gave the Qin army huge losses, and all the Zhao soldiers were killed, so that the Zhao people and the Qin army had a deep blood feud, and the people of the Qin army did not defend the king of Zhao again, but to take revenge and resist the Qin army to the death. Killing Zhao Jun is not the best choice, which is also the reason why Han Xin in later generations did not look down on Bai Qi.
Most of the wars in ancient China ordinary people do not care about who is the official, as long as the troops lose control, most of them are scattered in a hurry, this is often said that the defeat of the army is like a mountain, the army loses its organization and no longer has combat effectiveness, the purpose of fighting is to make the enemy lose combat effectiveness, not to kill the enemy, to defeat the enemy is the best choice, so the Chinese dynasties and dynasties still have very few things to kill prisoners, most of them are defeated, which is the reason why the enemy must be surrounded by an exit.

Almost all the men over the age of 15 in Zhao Guo died in battle, why was Zhao not destroyed by Bai Qi at that time? Instead of waiting for Wang Jian to destroy the Zhao State? With questions in mind, let's analyze why.
Although the Qin State was victorious, the Qin State also suffered more than 200,000 casualties. This is called killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself. Moreover, the war is attrition, Zhao lost if its national strength could not be consumed, and although Qin won, the loss of national strength was also very large.
Therefore, there will be people in the Qin State who want to withdraw their troops, after all, they can't afford to spend it after fighting for so long.
Before the Battle of Changping, Qin Zhao's strength was equal. Although the Qin State was victorious, the loss of national strength was very large. Although the strength of the five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Chu, Qi, and Yan was inferior to that of Qin, they were also frightened by Qin, and naturally hated Qin.
But if the five countries join forces to resist Qin at this time, Qin is afraid that it will not be able to bear it.
If Qin did not withdraw his troops after the Battle of Changping and continued to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, then the problem would come, Qin State had killed so many Zhao people, and for Zhao people, Qin people would be enemies who did not share the sky. If the Qin State came to attack Handan again at this time, the Zhao people would definitely resist desperately. is going to die in the country, what a pity to die!
For the Qin State, continuing to attack Zhao would only further damage the Qin State.
It is inevitable that the state of Zhao was not destroyed at that time. Just like when Qin led the Six Kingdoms to crusade against Qi, although Qi lost even the capital, it was still not destroyed.
Just because the time has not come, the gas is not exhausted!

There were not 400,000 captured, and the captured Zhao army had three solutions, one was to let go, the second was to join the Qin army, and the third was to kill. From the perspective of the Qin State, I chose to kill, although it was very cruel, there was no way, if I let it go, back to the Zhao State, they were called up, and they put on their armor again, it was another fight, and they still have a revenge mentality, then for the Qin State, there will be more soldiers killed in battle, and the harm to the people of the Qin State will be greater, so that the Battle of Changping will have no meaning. If you join the Qin army, the same can't, if it's just a few thousand people, it's okay, but this is more than 100,000 people, at that time, the people of Zhao still have backbone, without any assistance, in the environment of the main general died in the battle for more than ten days, it is not easy, after joining the Qin army, if you participate in the war of Qin against Zhao again, Zhao will definitely find a way to rebel against the Zhao people in the Qin army, which is fatal to the Qin army.
Choosing one and two is a potential safety hazard for the Qin State, so it can only be completely eradicated, even if it is infamous, there is nothing. As for history, as long as we descendants know, there is no need to comment too much on who is right and who is wrong, because history belongs to the victors, and only the victors have the right to change history, including writing the history of the past, and there is more than one person who has been killed in history because of writing history book 2. Nothing can be changed in the past, only the future can be changed.
-
It will have an impact on interests, and it will also lose the power to resist, which may promote the unification of the Qin State, and it will also affect the development of the situation at that time.
-
It has had an impact, resulting in a serious impact on the country's economic development, resulting in a particularly severe loss of the country, affecting the development and progress of the society, and the sedan chair of the shadow clan has sounded the lives of the people.
-
As a result, Zhao had no way to resist, which led to the destruction of the country, and laid the foundation for the unification of the six countries of Qin, which completed the unification faster and had more deterrent effect.
-
It affected the country's power and ranking, affected the country's development, economy, and people's lives, allowing the Qin Dynasty to quickly unify the six countries.

That's because they didn't have ** for the 400,000 Dazhong Dan, and on the other hand, the reason was that all of their 400,000 people were scattered, plus they didn't have ** in their hands, so they didn't have the ability to resist at all.
-
Because these armies simply do not have their own **, many have already betrayed.
-
The question of whether 400,000 can be buried alive is more likely. It can be when an army is demoralized to a certain extent. In the Battle of Qin's Shui River, the heart of the 800,000 army was shaken and was defeated by the 80,000 Jin army.
Although some facts are exaggerated, the impact of morale can be seen from this.
Moreover, Zhao Jun was deceived and buried many times, that is, in batches, and not digging a pit to bury a person. Moreover, Zhao Jun was besieged for 45 days, the food has been cut off for a long time, and he has long been weakened, he is insisting on it all by will, and he is defenseless in his hands (** has been paid) The combat effectiveness is almost 0, and it is not a unified siege, and people's desire to survive has not been fully stimulated.
As for whether there are 400,000 surrendered Zhao pawns in the end, it is not easy to say, and it is not impossible to have an imaginary number of 400,000, for example, there are still 360,000 and 370,000 surrendered troops. In fact, the three-year stalemate basically did not lose the Zhao army, because Lian Po ordered to stick to the military facilities and not fight at all. During the siege of Changping, the Qin army surrounded the Zhao army and made great use of military facilities, and the Zhao army was besieged in a very small area and could not fully attack.
The Zhao army broke through only a small force, and the large army was caught by the Qin army and could not move. The Qin army cut off its food routes and was not too eager to attack, mainly because they wanted to starve the Zhao army to death. Therefore, the Zhao army did not necessarily break through at the beginning, because after all, they had more than 400,000 troops, and the Qin army had to break a tooth if they wanted to eat it, but the Qin army surrounded but did not kill, and the Zhao army began to break through, and it is really hard to say how many troops were consumed in the process of breaking through.
Hope it helps!!

In the Battle of Changping, it is impossible for the Zhao army to die 450,000, and the total strength of the Zhao State may not be 450,000.
Soon after the Battle of Changping, Qin attacked Zhao again, and the Qin army was defeated, with tens of thousands of deaths, which shows that Zhao still has strong combat effectiveness after the Battle of Changping, and there may be 200,000 troops in the country.
Qin was defeated again and again, and more than 100,000 people died, please Bai Qi fought again, Bai Qi said that he would be defeated or not, which shows that Zhao's strength in the Battle of Changping is still there.
Therefore, in the Battle of Changping, the death of Zhao troops may be more than 100,000.
In the Battle of Changping, Qin was also more than half, so that the King of Qin agreed to rest for a period of time before attacking Zhao, which shows that Qin is also very big.
In short, the data of the Battle of Changping is obviously unreasonable and simply impossible!
There are also a lot of history books that are fake!
After Qin conquered most of China, the total number of troops was more than 600,000, and there was definitely not 600,000 before, which means that the total strength of Qin at the time of the Battle of Changping may not be 450,000, how could Zhao have so many troops? Obviously the numbers are fake!
During the Three Kingdoms period, the total strength of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu was only 700,000, how could a Zhao State have so many troops?
During the Battle of Changping, Zhao still had a lot of troops defending against the Huns! If the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping really had 450,000, then the total strength of the Zhao State would be six or seven hundred thousand, which is absolutely impossible?
The total population of the Warring States is more than 10 million, the total population of Zhao is at most 2 million, women account for half, the elderly and children account for two-thirds, and adult men are at most hundreds of thousands, so the total strength of Zhao may be 200,000 or 300,000, and it is impossible to be as much as 450,000!
-
Credible, according to the Book of the Later Han DynastyIt is recorded in the "General Guide to Governance" and so on.
-
It is credible that Bai Qi brought 600,000 people, which is enough to control.
3 to 4 months.
Don't dare to resist!

1. Qin soldiers also have hundreds of thousands, right? The situation at that time was that Zhao Bing knew that he couldn't fight, so he surrendered, and of course he had to let go of the surrender. Now that you have put down the **, the control is easy to do.
2. It's not about digging 400,000 pits, it's about digging a big hole. And let them dig it themselves. There is a lot of power in numbers, and I personally feel that it will not take much time.
3.If you are unwilling, you can't help it, what can you do without **, the other party's various weapons are organized in an orderly manner. Besides, Qin Bing would be so stupid to let 400,000 people gather in a heap, they must be divided and guarded in batches. When the pit is dug up, it is tied up in batches and rushed in.
It's good to have a skeptical spirit, but don't underestimate the "wisdom" of the ancients.
In, I just went to see it a week ago, got off at Gaoping Station, there is a ruins about 10 miles to the northwest, in fact, the ancient battlefield covers an area of dozens of miles, the Red River you said is probably the Dan River, and there are still there.
No, Lian Po's unstable tactics are successful, but due to the influence of Zhao's national strength, it will lead to the passivity of the Battle of Changping, but if it is fought head-on with the Qin army, it will be even more disastrous.
<> claim that the Qin army lost 300,000 men is somewhat exaggerated. >>>More
Because although the main force of the Zhao army was destroyed, there were still many small armies that resisted to the death, so the Zhao State was destroyed after 40 years.
Zhao Kuo was not wronged, because of Zhao Kuo's wrong command, the Zhao army was defeated, but even without Zhao Kuo, the Zhao army would be defeated, but it would not be like the ending of the Battle of Changping, where 400,000 people were killed, so Zhao Kuo couldn't get rid of responsibility.
