As a generation of killing gods, Bai Qi's record is indeed unmatched, and he has made great achievements for the Qin State. However, his end is indeed regrettable, and he was given to die at the age of 70. So, why did King Qin Zhaoxiang give him death?
First of all, after the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi did not continue to attack Zhao according to the orders of King Zhaoxiang, which made King Zhaoxiang dissatisfied with him. Later, when Zhao united with other countries to fight back against Qin, the generals sent by King Zhaoxiang suffered a defeat, which deepened his resentment against Bai Qi. At the same time, Bai Qi's prestige and prestige in the army also unnerved King Zhaoxiang, who feared that Bai Qi would threaten his throne.
Secondly, Fan Ju, as the prime minister of Qin, in order to maintain his power and status, also slandered King Zhaoxiang, saying that he was anti-voluntary. He fanned the flames in the ears of King Zhaoxiang, which intensified King Zhaoxiang's suspicion and dissatisfaction with Bai Qi.
In the end, King Zhaoxiang, at the instigation of Fan Ju, ordered Bai Qi to be killed. Although Bai Qi had heavy troops, he did not pose a threat to King Zhaoxiang, so he could not resist. After he was demoted to a concubine, he was forced to go to the front line, and was finally assassinated by an envoy sent by King Zhaoxiang at the further instigation of Fan Ju.
The cause of Bai Qi's death certainly had his own factors, such as his pride in his achievements and his unwillingness to obey the orders of King Zhaoxiang. But more importantly, he lived in an era of fierce power struggles, and his exploits and prestige made him a victim of political struggles. It also reminds us that while pursuing personal fulfillment, we should also focus on relationships and communication with others, so as to avoid getting into trouble because of too much egotism and stubbornness.
Bai Qi's death was also a great loss for the Qin State. He was an excellent general and strategist, and his death greatly affected the military strength of the Qin state. This also tells us that the strength of a country depends not only on the ability of individual people, but also on the unity and cooperation of the whole country.
In short, the cause of Bai Qi's death is multifaceted, both his own factors and the factors of the times. We should learn from this and focus on relationships and communication with others to avoid getting stuck in trouble for personal reasons. At the same time, we should also recognize that the strength of a country requires the unity and cooperation of the whole country, rather than relying solely on the ability of individual individuals.
