Why does "Soldier Immortal" Han Xin disdain "God of War" Bai Qi?

Han Xin looked down on Bai Qi in all aspects and believed that Bai Qi was not a good fighter.

From Han Xin's point of view, he thinks Bai Qi does not understand the art of war. The reason why he thinks Bai Qi is a person who does not understand the art of war is because during the Battle of Changping, although Bai Qi He killed 400,000 Zhao troops, but later statistics revealed that there were at least 250,000 casualties among his Qin troops. Han Xin believed that Bai Qi's fighting method was to kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred, and he had no ability to lead troops in battle.

According to different historical records, later generations also came to another conclusion. When the two armies fought, Qin's military strength was about 500,000, while Zhao's was about 450,000. In the early stages of the war, Zhao State had already consumed about 50,000 troops. So in the end, although more than 400,000 soldiers were killed by the Qin army, the casualties of the Qin army were also very high, at least half of the soldiers were killed. , there are countless wounded.

Han Xin believed that in a war, a small number should be used to win a large number, so he felt that Bai Qi's fighting method was not enough to be called a general. And because Bai Qi did not love the soldiers who were with him through life and death, he despised Bai Qi's character. According to later statistics, the number of soldiers Bai Qi killed during his lifetime was approximately more than 1.3 million. For someone like Han Xin who loved his subordinates so much, this approach was even more unacceptable to him.

At that time, Qin's national power was strong and the morale of the whole country was high. Han Xin himself was a very flamboyant person, so a calm and reserved character like Bai Qi seemed to him to be a gloomy character. , a self-enclosed person. Generally speaking, the auras of the two people are not compatible, so both parties dislike each other.
