Why did the Battle of Handan fail a year later?

The battle of Handan was not just enough, and the battle of Changping, where Qin defeated Zhao, was barely just. Qin Jun led Tian Lei to attack South Korea, split South Korea in two, Shangdang and Xinzheng split, and the backup could not keep up. Shangdang soon became a Chinese food for Qin.

At that time, Zhao intervened, accepted Shangdang area and picked peaches from Qin Jun, but naturally he didn't want to, so both sides began to dispatch troops. In three years of tug-of-war and under the leadership of the famous Tian Lei, they cut the enemy by 450,000. In order to defend his victory, Qin took a tough counterattack, which was also a just war.

The battle of Handan is different. After Zhao's defeat, he led an army to attack Han, and Zhao's national subjugation was imminent, and he promised to cede territory for compensation. After the retreat, Zhao broke his word and did not intend to provide land. The king of Qin felt cheated and sent troops to besiege Handan again. This is rogue logic. If you can't grab it, you are ready to use a knife and a gun.

2. Qin Jun's morale was low, and the morale of the State of Qin was slowly stimulated by the battle of Changping. Everything from the deployment of battlefield commanders to the cooperation between the monarch and the minister was impeccable. The battle of Handan is different. First, the king of Qin recalled Tian Lei, and the whole army fully realized the fatuity of the king of Qin; Secondly, after Qin Jun was blocked, Tian Lei refused to go out and predicted that the battle would fail. Tian Lei is a god in the army. Idol thinks he can't win. How can soldiers be energetic?

Finally, the king of Qin died, and the soldiers were chilling. Tian Lei worked hard for his country all his life and killed two million enemies in dozens of battles. What will happen to other soldiers if the king of Qin kills such an awesome figure? Calm down. If morale is insufficient, naturally you can't win.

3. Wei Chu saved Qi, and the battle of Changping, the princes were afraid of Qin and Zhao, and they all watched jokes, hoping to lose both sides. Only after Qin Jun killed more than 400,000 troops of Zhao did the vassals realize the horror of Qin Jun. If Zhao was destroyed this time, would other countries be far from subjugation? After seeing the situation clearly, some people of insight decided to help Zhao fight against the tiger and the wolf.

Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Sheng have played a great role. Under his lobbying, he led 654.38 million troops to Handan, and Chu also sent 654.38 million troops. As a result, Zhao's army was about 400,000, while Qin Jun's was only 200,000. The disparity in numbers was too great, and the failure was understandable.

Fourth, Zhao's counterattack emotions and strategies are different. The battle of Changping was fought at the border. Zhao faced little direct pressure and weak determination to kill the enemy bravely. Qin Jun besieged Handan. If Handan falls, Zhao will be finished, and the people of Zhao will become a conquered nation. The immediate pressure urged the people of Zhao to unite and never surrender. I shudder at the thought of the fate of Zhao Jun who surrendered before.

Wang Bi, the governor of Handan, and Lian Po, the governor of Handan. Although Wang Bi is also very powerful, he is much worse than Lian Po. The battle of Handan, lacking sense of justice and morale, coupled with the rescue and fierce resistance of Zhao, finally failed.
