After the battle of Changping, how could Zhao, who was dying, hang the invading Yan State?

Yan is an old vassal state with a history of more than 800 years. It was the earliest vassal state named Ji when the vassal was enfeoffed. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Yan was always tepid and mediocre in the northeast of this territory.

Yan State is connected to the powerful Zhao State in the west and Qi State in the south, so these two countries have become the natural barriers of Yan State and have superior geographical positions. Therefore, Yan State can be said to be the most comfortable country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

However, such a seemingly uncontroversial Yan state, watching the surrounding Zhao State being beaten out of the water by Qin State, also wants to bully Zhao State and solve the evil spirit accumulated all the year round when he has not recovered. Having done so, Yan began to get tired of Zhao's business.

At that time, in the battle of Changping, Zhao was defeated and 450,000 troops lost. Handan people are stubborn, but Zhao's soldiers and civilians are stubborn, and they still have not compromised. In order to cope with the defending battle of Handan, the soldiers and civilians of Zhao are at the same enemy, and everyone is prepared to burn everything.

In 259 BC, the state of Qin made a comeback, sending 500,000 troops to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao. With the desperate resistance of Zhao soldiers and civilians and the help of Chu Wei Jun, it was defeated by Zhao. Zhao not only took the opportunity to recapture the land occupied by Qin, but also further lost 300,000 soldiers to Qin.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Zhao stubbornly won the battle of Handan, they also paid a painful price for it. Take out the spirit of Saburo desperately, and the energy that broke out really wasn't covered.

What Yan wants to do most at this time is such a seemingly overthrown Zhao, but it is such a country that is still alive. Yan is a country with very weak will to fight. Yan is in a corner, and has not fought many beautiful battles for hundreds of years. It is more famous that when the five countries cut Qi, Qi was beaten by three cities, but that's all. Was abruptly defeated by the fire bull array of Qi, and the Yan army was defeated like a mountain. Qi took the opportunity to recover the captured land and completed the great cause of rejuvenating the country.

Why did Yan fight hard? There were contradictions and entanglements between every two countries during the Warring States period. When Zhao was fully prepared to defend Handan, Yan did not forget to play tricks behind his back.

They used their own interests to attract others to lead troops from Zhao to vote. Worried about the threat of Qin, they took a cold attitude, but that doesn't mean they don't hate Yan. Later, Yan also gave Li's dantian to Zhao, showing his kindness to Zhao and spying on the military situation. Chestnut belly really lived up to expectations and returned all the things she saw and heard in Zhao.

He said to the prince: "Zhao is full of orphans and widows, all underage children, and there is no fighting capacity at all." . Hearing this, the present literati came up in high spirits. No one wanted to pinch this soft persimmon, but Le Yi's son objected. But the more he opposed it, the more vigorously the prince decided to lead 600 thousand troops to crush Zhao, a "soft persimmon."

Zhao Linglian Po and Lecheng led troops to resist. Zhao led 250,000 troops and divided them into two groups: Lian Po with 200,000 troops and Lecheng with 50,000 troops. At the beginning of the war, Zhao Jun hanged the State of Yan, even though the number was smaller than the other side. The Yan army was outnumbered and was defeated at once. Yan Jun ran ahead and Zhao Jun chased after him.

All the way to the territory of Yan, and surrounded the capital of Yan by the way. The prince suddenly fell into a tourist trap, ceded five cities to make peace with Zhao, and was beaten by the equally honest Zhao.

Why is Yan still hanging? The first point: this war began nine years after the battle of Changping. Obviously, Zhao suffered a loss in the battle of Changping, but the energy generated in the defense of Handan greatly enhanced the confidence of Zhao's soldiers and civilians. After several years of recovery, Zhao has accumulated some capital. Undoubtedly, these soldiers grew up in the war and their fighting capacity was extraordinary.

The second point: Yan is an unknown teacher, and Zhao belongs to the early stage, protecting the country and defending the country. Yan belongs to the aggressor. At any time, soldiers will devote endless energy to defending their country. Zhao Jun, who is brave and good at fighting, brought his advantages to the extreme in the face of the Yan Army who was on the expedition.

The third point: Zhao fought in Qin all the year round, and the soldiers who grew up had very high fighting quality. In the face of the pampered Yan army, although it is not dominant in number, it can still show strong combat effectiveness. Generally speaking, elite soldiers and generals meet a group of old, weak and sick people. Although there are many people, the combat effectiveness is too low.

The hour hand said that although Zhao hanged Yan and won some cities, he lost the opportunity to recuperate. Money is a thing outside the body, and rest is the most important thing. But it was Yan's harassment that made Zhao lose the opportunity to recuperate again.

If the six countries can help each other, it is impossible for Qin to divide and rule. It is precisely because of mutual restraint and attack that there are problems of one kind or another among the six countries that Ying Zheng finally unified the six countries. Six can't beat one. It really made everyone laugh, but it really happened.
