The final news of the Battle of Changping reached Handan, the capital of Zhao State. After hearing the news from the front line, Ji Kang's uncle, Wang Dan, shouted: "How could this be?"

He fainted in the hall on the spot.

On September 22, the King of Qin who had returned to Xianyang. After receiving the report from the head of Shangdang, Bai Qi, the head commander of the Qin army, was sent by someone who was urgently sent.

King Yingji of Qin stood up suddenly in the side hall of the Xianyang Palace. He couldn't help but cry with joy. He knelt on the ground and prayed to heaven: "The ancestors of Qin, have you seen the spirit of heaven? My Qin army is really blessed by God, and my Qin people are really mighty!"

Then he stood up, raised his hand, shouted to the prime minister Fan Sui in the hall, "The Battle of Shangdang has not been decided for three years. As soon as Wu'an Jun came out, he defeated the enemy and surrendered, and determined the world and strengthened our country's power!"

Speaking of this, Yingji, the King of Qin in his sixties, looked at Fan Sui and shouted to him: "Prime Minister, in this instant, I can destroy Handan, Zhao, and unify the world."

When Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui heard that Qin King Ying Ji praised Bai Qi like this, he frowned.

But seeing the King of Qin so excited, I knew I could not say much at this moment. I bowed to King of Qin Yingji and said, "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King!"

King Yingji of Qin was already excited and wanted to be crazy. He walked down the palace steps, took Prime Minister Fan Sui's hand, and hurried to the Central Plains map hanging on the wall, looked at the map and said to Fan Sui: "Prime, the world, my world, this is my world!"

Seeing this, the Prime Minister Fan Sui naturally knew what the King of Qin thoughts and said excitedly: "King, yes, this is my king's world. This Zhongyuan belongs to me, and this world belongs to me. From now on, our Qin State will be invincible. Unifying the world is right in front of us."

King Yingji of Qin nodded, then suppressed his excitement and said to Fan Sui: "This great victory in our army will also be due to the prime minister."

Fan Sui bowed again and said, "Thank you, my king, for the praise."

Then, the King of Qin didn't know what he thought of, frowned slightly, and after a while, he said to Fan Sui: "Prime Minister, how should we treat these 200,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao's army?"

Fan Sui was stunned and then understood Yingji's meaning. He said to the King of Qin: "King, this letter from Wu'an Jun said that Zhao's army surrendered 200,000 soldiers. The minister once told the king that we should not attack the land alone and attack the person. Now that our Qin State has also lost 250,000 in Shangdang, which is comparable to Zhao State."

"At present, the 200,000 Zhao army has surrendered. If he returns to Zhao, if he returns to Zhao, in less than three years, can the decisive battle of Changping be considered to be the winner of our Qin State? King, for the 200,000 Zhao army surrendered, he must not let him return home. Let Wu'an Jun deal with it according to the customs of our Qin army."

After hearing Fan Sui's words, King Yingji of Qin was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he said to Fan Sui: "Prime Minister, if we treat these 200,000 Zhao army surrendered soldiers this time, if all of them are killed according to the usual practice, how will the people in the world view me in the future?"

Fan Sui laughed, bowed to King Yingji of Qin, and said, "King, as long as my king is talking about the surrendered soldiers, he will not say anything. In Shangdang's Wu'anjun, he will deal with such things. What does this have to do with my king?"

The King of Qin laughed and said to Fan Sui: "Prime Minister, you are!... Haha, but I like it."

On September 26, Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army in Guanglang City, Shangdang area, and his deputy general Wang He was also discussing the issue of the more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army.

Bai Qi looked at Wang Feng and said, "General Wang, although our army killed 250,000 Zhao's army, he also lost 250,000 yuan, and his military strength was also greatly damaged!"

Deputy General Wang Heze said: "General, a general can't think so much now. In the past few days, the Zhao army who surrendered by 200,000 has already made the general dizzy. These surrendered Zhao army give them a meal of porridge every day, which is also a must-eat and drink! Our army has not much food and grass now!"

After hearing this, Bai Qi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said to Wang He: "General Wang, the Prime Minister has told us a long time ago that we should not just think about occupying the land without knowing to destroy the enemy. There are two ways for the countries in the Central Plains to treat surrendered soldiers: one is for my own use; the other is to let them unarm and let them return home."

Speaking of this, he paused and slowly said to Wang: "But according to the convention, there are two ways for our Qin State to treat surrendered soldiers: one is for my use, and the other is to kill."

Deputy General Wang He was shocked and advised Bai Qi: "General, in the past, our army killed the enemy, and the number of surrendered soldiers was not large, at most tens of thousands. However, the Zhao army surrendered this time was more than 200,000. If all of them were killed, it may be... it may harm the laws of nature and harmony! Can the young and strong soldiers be incorporated into our Qin army and the old and weak be released back?"

Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and said to Wang He: "General Wang, Yan and Zhao are so generous and tragic! Our Qin army and Zhao army have been confronting Shangdang for three years. Let's say how many of the captured Zhao army are willing to surrender to our Qin? No! Don't talk about the Zhao army, even the people of Shangdang, how many of them are willing to surrender to our Qin? No, right!"

"And our Qin State cannot let these 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army go back. If they are released, these 200,000 Zhao troops will become soldiers of the enemy country again. Even if they do not go to war for the enemy country, they will be relieved and return to the fields, marry and have children, and reproduce and survive, which will be a great problem for our Qin State in the future. In the view of our Qin State, this strategy of attacking the enemy is to destroy the enemy's body and weaken the enemy's national power. "

Speaking of this, Bai Qi stood up and slowly continued to the deputy general Wang He: "General Wang, if we kill these 200,000 surrendered soldiers, there will be no more males over 16 years old in the territory of Zhao State, and their national strength will be weak. General Wang He, don't hesitate about these surrendered soldiers in Zhao State, and kill them all tonight!"

Deputy General Wang He sighed, bowed with his fists and said, "General, there are 240 "baby" soldiers under the age of sixteen in the Zhao army. Let us put these people back?"

Bai Qi looked at the deputy general Wang Feng, nodded, and said to Wang Feng: "It's good to do this. In front of the Zhao army's surrendered soldiers, put these 240 "baby" soldiers back to Handan. It's also possible that these Zhao army's surrendered soldiers listen to our Qin army to calm their hearts."

In the afternoon, the Qin army released 240 Zhao troops under the age of sixteen in front of all the surrendered Zhao soldiers.

He also shouted to these surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army: "Brothers of the Zhao army, our general has an order. Now, 240 of the small ones are returned to Zhao, and then you young and strong men will be organized into our Qin army, and the old and weak soldiers will be released back."

The more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army, saw that the Qin army was like this, and he felt at ease and did not think about it.

Subsequently, the Qin army deceived the Zhao army and said that they wanted them to dig pits in several valleys to bury the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, and tricked the Zhao army into several valleys in advance.

Then the Qin army blocked the exits of these valleys. The Qin army, who were ambushing around the valley in advance, stood up together, fired with crossbows, and pushed all the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared on the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, the entire Zhao army surrendered soldiers realized that the Qin army wanted to kill them all, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with bare hands, trying to fight for the Qin army.

But when the 200,000 Zhao army surrendered to Qin, all of them were unarmed and disarmed. In addition, they had been hungry for so many days, so they were the opponents of the fully armed Qin army! As a result, all of the more than 200,000 Zhao army surrendered to the Qin army were killed and buried in a hurry.

After killing the 200,000 Zhao army surrendered, Qin general Bai Qi ordered that all the 250,000 Zhao army soldiers who died in battle with the Qin army were cut off.

Using the heads of the soldiers who died in battle in the Zhao army, mixed with loess, he built a "Jingguan" in Changping to report to other countries in the Central Plains. Let you see, this is the end of going against our Qin army. This "Jingguan" was named "Skull Mountain" by later generations.

At this point, all of the 450,000 soldiers sent to the Shangdang area to fight were killed, except for the 240 infant soldiers who were released by Bai Qi and who were under the age of 16.

The news came out and the world was terrifying.

After the Battle of Changping, the bodies of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the Zhao army were cleaned by people for more than two thousand years in Ji Kang's previous life. When Ji Kang left that world, it was still not cleaned up.

All the unearthed corpses are stacked and intertwined, with different shapes. None of the corpses is complete, and each corpse has trauma caused by blunt objects, blades, and stones. Each corpse has traces of being chopped or shot. The place where the corpses are buried is a day's pit, and the place where these corpses are buried is only a thin layer of loess on it.

(This is what the author saw with his own eyes when visiting the Changping ruins, and there was no falsehood. According to the people guarding the remains of the corpse pit, every night, there is always a strange sound, which is particularly chaotic and makes people unable to sleep.)

In the Battle of Changping, the Qin general Bai Qi led the Qin army to annihilate 450,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop, creating the earliest and largest case of encirclement and annihilation of the enemy in Chinese history. After the Battle of Changping, except for Liao, the six countries were frightened by the name of Bai Qi.

The Battle of Changping ended with the victory of Qin. After this battle, Zhao, who was regarded as the leader of the six Kanto countries, was severely damaged and could no longer fight against Qin alone in all directions. The entire Zhao State was in panic. Because Zhao Kuo's mother had previously stopped Zhao Kuo from going to war when she went to war, Ji Kang's uncle, Wang Dan, did not kill Zhao Kuo's mother.

As a result of the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army was indeed a large army of 450,000, and the entire army was wiped out. However, the Qin State also suffered nearly 250,000 casualties, that is, more than 650,000 casualties on both sides. The Qin State was also seriously injured in the Changping War that lasted for three years.

The Battle of Changping lasted for a long time, was large in scale, and the tragic battles, which exceeded people's imagination. Especially the degree of tragicness, which has been the rarest since Pangu Kaitian and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The Battle of Changping marks the end of an era with the numerous countries and frequent annexation wars as the characteristics of the times. An unprecedented centralized empire is about to surrender. The pace of unification of the world is moving forward faster and faster.

After the Battle of Changping, Qin finally saw hope of unifying the world. In this regard, Qin, including King Yingji of Qin, Prime Minister Fan Sui, General Bai Qi and others, and even many other Central Plains countries, had no doubts about this.

After the end of the Battle of Changping, the monarch and ministers of Qin thought that in the future, no country in the Central Plains would be the opponent of Qin. This world will eventually be the world of Qin, and the Qin Dynasty will establish itself in the Zhou Dynasty and unify the world.

But what many people in the Qin State and even the Central Plains did not expect was that in the distant Liao land, after Qin State was in Zhao State, a new powerful opponent of Qin State had quietly emerged and his wings were gradually gaining.

The monarch and ministers of Qin and many people in the Central Plains would never have expected that when Qin defeated Zhao and was about to unify the world, he would then face a powerful opponent with a stronger national strength than Zhao, a more advanced system than Qin, and a more advanced military weaponry and equipment than the Central Plains.

What made Qin's king and ministers and many people in the Central Plains unexpected was that in the near future, this powerful opponent of Qin would be about to march south to enter the Central Plains and compete for the world.

The helm of the new powerful opponent of Qin, a thirteen-year-old boy, was now looking at the map hanging on the wall, and had already turned his attention to Qin, the Central Plains, and the entire world.

When the Qin monarch and ministers were happy and complacent about the Battle of Changping, the helm of the powerful opponent of Qin, this young man who was only thirteen years old, only believed that the end of the Battle of Changping in Qin and Zhao was just the beginning of his own battle to dominate the world.
