Zhao Kuo on paper

During the Warring States Period, Zhao She, a general of the State of Zhao, defeated the invading Qin Jun and was promoted to Qing Dynasty by King Huiwen of Zhao.

He has a son named Zhao Kuo, who has been familiar with the art of war since childhood and loves to talk about military affairs. People often say that he is not. So he is arrogant and thinks he is invincible in the world. But Zhao She was very worried about him, thinking that he was just an armchair strategist, saying, "Zhao doesn't need him as a general in the future." If you use him as a general, Zhao Jun will surely lose the battle. "

Sure enough, in 259 BC, Zhao insisted on resisting the enemy in Changping. At that time, Zhao She had died, and General Lian Po was in charge of commanding the whole army. Although he is old, he still has a good fighting method, which makes Qin Jun unable to win.

Qin knew that it was not good for him to drag on, so he took a double-hazard approach and sent someone to Zhao to spread the news, saying that he was most afraid of General Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao She.

The prince of Zhao was deceived and sent Zhao Kuo instead of Lian Po, while Zhao Kuo thought he was good at fighting, so he moved the articles in Sun Tzu's Art of War to rote. After Changping, Lian Po's battle plan changed completely. As a result, more than 400,000 troops of Zhao were wiped out, and he himself was shot dead with an arrow, which caused Zhao to be too weakened to fight Qin again.
