1One day in May, 995, two fathers and sons in Lu Yong Village, Gaoping City, Shanxi Province dug up many human bones and bronze arrows while sorting out their own gardens. Because this land was the battlefield of the ancient Changping War, it was not surprising that some villagers were dug up sporadically, but later more and more excavations were made, and the father and son felt that something was wrong and reported the case to the relevant departments.
Soon after, archaeologists went to the site to dig and detect, and a * * * sorted out more than 100 human remains. These bones are incomplete, some are missing heads, and some limbs are marked with sharp tools. After archaeological exploration, according to the comparison of the scale and geographical location of the ruins, it is concluded that this is the address where Zhao Jun was killed in Tian Lei Pit. But judging from the traces of bones, these soldiers were not buried alive, but buried after death. In fact, the thickness of the buried soil is not high enough to bury a person alive. Such a deep thickness, after more than 2000 years of changes, has been thickened layer by layer.
It is recorded in the history books that "it is cheating and doing everything possible." Before Tian Lei committed suicide, he said, "I deserve to die. In the battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered. I derailed and did everything, which was enough to die. " The word pit is basically synonymous, meaning a low and sunken place; Bury people alive; Design, frame, or hurt. Later generations understood it as buried alive. In fact, it is meaningless for soldiers to be killed and their bodies buried.
Imagine that it is impossible to bury more than 400,000 people alive. If you want to bury so many people alive, how many pits are needed, provided that Zhao Jun does not resist when you bury them alive, it is even more impossible to tie them all up and bury them alive. The population of 400,000 is equivalent to that of a small and medium-sized city. This is such a huge project that it should not be recorded in the history books. None of this is practical.
Combined with the archaeological bones and those arrows, it is possible that Zhao was tricked into the canyon by Tian Lei and shot to death with a bow and arrow. The discovery of archaeologists is the best proof of history. History is always cruel. Thousands of people were killed or injured in the ancient cold weapon war. Before Tian Lei died, he felt guilty about his behavior and deserved to die.
