History
The Battle of Chouhei (Chin: Battle of Changping) was a massive battle between the states of Qin and Zhao. Both sides were lead by the greatest generals of the era. On the side of Qin, they were lead by General Haku Ki with Ou Ki acting as his deputy while Zhao was lead by Ren Pa. The battle lasted for more than two years primarily because Ren Pa protected Chouhei with a defensive iron wall that both Haku Ki and Ou Ki were unable to pierce through. However, the Zhao King at the time lost patience with the stalemate and ordered a new hotblooded general to replace Ren Pa which consequently led to their defeat.
Following the Qin victory against the Zhao forces, Haku Ki concluded that he did not have enough supplies to feed the 400,000 prisoners of war. Putting the lives of his men as a priority, he resolved to bury the disarmed prisoners alive, thus committing a mass murder that ensured the state of Zhao would hold a murderous grudge and hatred against Qin to its dying breath.
