In the Warring States Period, the Battle of Changping was a key battle for Qin to unify the six countries. Since then, the Six Kingdoms have no power to fight back, and the Qin State is invincible. Bai Qi, the hero behind the Battle of Changping, became a god in a battle, but his methods were too ruthless, and he killed 400,000 soldiers in Zhao, so he was called the "God of War", and some people also called him "Butcher".
The Battle of Changping, a non-fictional historical event, recorded in historical records, the Zhao army died four or five hundred thousand. Legend has it that 400,000 of Zhao's pawns were buried alive, but there have been objections to this statement for a long time, how can all 400,000 people be buried alive? It was not until the nineties of the last century that the ruins of the ancient battlefield of Changping were discovered, and the truth was revealed. As recorded in the historical books, Zhao Jun was not buried alive, but was killed and buried.
In 1995, a farmer in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, accidentally found a skull while plowing the field. This place is the site of an ancient battlefield, human bones have been unearthed, and farmers have become accustomed to it. However, as the excavation deepened, more and more human bones appeared, and they became a piece, which was obviously a group killing scene. The peasants rushed to report to the officials, and the archaeological experts rushed to hear the news. After a comprehensive excavation, more than 130 corpses were found at the scene. According to the bone age identification, experts confirmed that this is the remains of the Battle of Changping.
Investigating the cause of death of these corpses, only one was buried alive and suffocated, and the rest were mostly slashed with bronze or killed by blunt objects. Obviously, Zhao was killed first and then buried. When the soil layer is explored, the soil is only more than 30 centimeters thick, which is not enough to suffocate the soil. It can be seen that Zhao Jun was not killed and buried alive, but was killed and buried.
For many years, the world has mistakenly believed in historical books, thinking that Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops. In fact, there is a difference between "pit killing" and "killing by stinging". The person who is framed should be interpreted as "framed by the person", that is, framed by dishonorable and shady means. Although the Zhao army was trapped for 46 days and was almost starving to death when he surrendered, how could he be tied up and buried alive? This statement is actually an insult to Zhao Jun. When the Qin army deceived him with lies, and then divided and killed.
Finding out the cause of the death of these 400,000 starving dead souls is also a tribute to that great war. After all, they were also brave warriors, fighting for their country and for their nation. Today, although it has turned into loess, its heroic deeds should still be remembered by the world.
