When fighting, Bai Qi strictly forbids soldiers to eat mutton, and if the soldiers are not satisfied

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-05

It is very famous for Sun Wu, who is good at using the art of war, that is, Sun Tzu, the "Art of War" compiled by him has a very special status in China, and until now there are many military experts who study his theoretical knowledge, and even our great leaders often study "The Art of War".

It can be said that Sun Tzu is a military strategist who preaches the Tao with the art of war, but there is another military strategist in the history of our country, and his way of preaching is not the same as Sun Tzu.

Bai Qi believes that many of us have more or less heard of his name, that is, "God of Killing", he commanded troops to kill millions of people in his life, and even killed 450,000 in one battle, it can be said that he has been killing all his life.

But he is not a monster without brains and only knows how to kill, he is also an outstanding military strategist, the most representative is the battle when he killed 400,000 Zhao troops, this war is the very famous Battle of Changping.

In this battle, Bai Qi gave full play to his military talents, and the commander at the beginning of this battle was not Bai Qi, but Wang Qi.

However, although under the leadership of Wang Di, the Qin army has been victorious, and in the end even beat the Zhao army out of the city, but it is precisely because Zhao General Lian Po stuck to the city that Wang Di was unable to capture the city for a long time.

Lian Po just thought that the Qin State had a long front, and it was very difficult for them to transport grain and grass, but it was much faster to transport it from Zhao State than Qin State, so he wanted to drag down the Qin army, and then launch ** in one fell swoop.

However, the monarch of Zhao did not agree with his idea, and asked him to fight back many times, but for the sake of the overall situation, Lian Po did not agree, and then coupled with the provocation of Qin, the monarch of Zhao was very angry and replaced Lian Po and let Zhao Kuo play.

It is taboo to change generals in battle, not to mention that the morale of the Zhao army is very low now, and changing generals means that the previous generals cannot be compared with the generals of the enemy army, so they have to change generals.

But changing generals is not all bad at times, if it is a general with a very popular person, then it will definitely boost morale, but obviously Zhao Guo did not change a famous general, but replaced Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper.

However, the Qin State also made a corresponding change of generals, and the Qin State was much smarter, and they replaced Bai Qi, a very popular general in the Qin State, who was like a star in the Qin army, so the Qin army did not cause low morale because of the change of generals, but because of the arrival of the "big star", the morale was high.

Bai Qi arrived in the army and quickly made a plan based on the current situation, he quietly sent out a force, remembering this force, and he played a miraculous role on the battlefield later.

Bai Qi knew that the change of generals of Zhao State would not be able to sit still, and they were unwilling to stick to the city, so it would not be long before Zhao State would send troops to fight them again.

In order to completely annihilate Zhao's army, Bai Qi issued an order to the troops, making them look tired and declining in combat effectiveness, and when they encountered the symbolic blow of Zhao's army, they quickly retreated backwards until they reached the Qin army's camp.

Bai Qi's prophecy is really right, Zhao Guo is really going to send troops, this time it is the general Zhao Kuo who personally leads the troops, there are more than 400,000 troops, and from a distance, they are densely packed with people.

According to Bai Qi's predetermined plan, the Qin army fought and retreated with the Zhao army, and retreated to the Qin army's camp, such a victory made Zhao Kuo very surprised, the short victory had already overwhelmed Zhao Kuo's mind, he even thought that the Qin army was nothing, and thought that Lian Po's strength was also in vain.

Zhao Kuo's smile in the barracks never stopped, and the smile on his face was as if they had defeated the Qin army, but he couldn't smile after a while.

He Zeng was still the camp of the Qin army attacking the Zhao army, but now it is the camp of the Zhao army attacking the Qin army, and the change is so fast that the Zhao ** team is also very embarrassed, but this is a good thing after all, and they don't realize that the catastrophe will come soon.

When the Zhao army concentrated on attacking the Qin army's camp, Bai Qi in the Qin army's camp lightly ordered his subordinates: "The time is almost up, the whole army is ready to attack!" ”

Hearing the order to attack, the soldiers of the Qin army were all gearing up and eager to try one by one, after all, they could have beaten the Zhao army, but because they had to take the initiative to show weakness, they were able to completely annihilate the Zhao army, and they were chased by the Zhao army, which also gave them anger.

When he got the order to attack, none of the soldiers was not excited, Zhao Kuo was also beaten, combined with the previous battle experience with the Qin army, in his heart, the Qin army was actually not so strong, so now the Qin army's counterattack is very fierce is something he didn't expect.

Only then did he react, it turned out that he had fallen into the trap of the Qin army, and he just wanted to run at this time, but a Qin army of tens of thousands of people appeared in the rear of the Zhao army, and they stopped the retreat of the Zhao army.

This Qin army was also the one sent out by Bai Qi before, and he had already planned everything, just waiting for Zhao Jun to fall into this big pocket he had made.

Not surprisingly, the Zhao army was annihilated by 450,000, and the Zhao army no longer had the strength to resist the attack of the Qin army, and they could only cede the land and sue for peace.

Bai Qi's talent in military affairs can be said to be unprecedented, especially during the Warring States Period, a total of two million people died in various wars, and the number of deaths caused by Bai Qi's command alone was one million, accounting for half of the deaths in the Warring States Period, and he also won the title of "God of Killing".

His ability to have such a high military level has a lot to do with his usual hard study, and it is no accident that he can become the highest-ranking general of the Qin State, but to pay attention to all kinds of small things to minimize the accidents of the war.

Bai Qi once issued a strange rule, he stipulated that mutton is not allowed to be eaten in the army, this rule made many soldiers very puzzled, they like to eat mutton very much, and now the general does not explain why they are not allowed to eat mutton, naturally they are very dissatisfied.

But the military order was like a mountain, and even if they didn't want to, they couldn't do it, but they didn't obey obediently, but secretly ate in the camp tent at night when they were hungry.

But when they did this, they were soon discovered by Bai Qi, who angrily reprimanded them for not abiding by the rules, and severely criticized them, and wanted to give them military punishment.

But these soldiers were not convinced, and they asked Bai Qi why they couldn't eat mutton, Bai Qi sneered, and said, "Get up, walk fifty steps this way, and you will know." ”

The soldier was puzzled, but still according to Bai Qi's words, he got up and walked fifty steps to the side, and after fifty steps, he didn't feel anything wrong, but the general they had become smaller, and the smell of mutton they made.

After the soldier came back, he probably knew why Bai Qi was not allowed to eat mutton, and Bai Qi saw that the soldier knew, and he was also very relieved, he said"I love to eat mutton myself, but the smell of mutton is so great that you can smell it from a distance, and if we eat mutton during a hidden mission, it will expose us because of the taste, which is why I don't let you eat mutton. ”

After hearing this, the soldiers sighed that General Bai Qi was really careful, and he could notice such a small detail, and he was worthy of being a representative of the soldiers.
