· Early achievements

Qin The country was originally a small country located in the western border. Qin Xiaogong used Shang Yang's Reform to lay the foundation for the country's prosperity. Then, it continued to develop its power outwards and became strong and powerful. During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, Bai Qi was appointed as general.

Bai Qi was known for his profound knowledge of Tao strategy. In the 13th year of King Zhao of Qin (294 BC), Bai Qi served as Zuo Shuchang and led troops to attack Han's Xincheng (in the west of today's Yichuan County, Henan).

The following year, he moved from Zuo Shu to Zuo Geng and sent troops to attack Han and Wei. He used the tactics of avoiding the real and attacking the weak and defeating them one by one to completely annihilate the Korean and Wei coalition forces in Yique (today's Longmen, Luoyang, Henan). He captured 240,000 heads, captured the general Gongsun Xi, and captured five cities (see the Battle of Yique). He was promoted to the rank of National Lieutenant due to his meritorious service. He also crossed the Yellow River and captured the land east of Han'anyi to Qianhe.

In the fifteenth year, he was promoted to Daliang Zao again, led the troops to capture Wei State, and occupied 61 cities, large and small.

In the 16th year, Bai Qi and the guest minister Sima Cuo jointly captured Yuancheng.

In the 21st year, Bai Qi attacked Zhao and captured Guanglang City (today's west of Gaoping City, Shanxi).

· Received the title of Wu'an

In the 28th year, he attacked Chu and defeated five cities including Yan and Deng. The following year, he captured Ying, the capital of Chu (now northwest of Jiangling, Hubei), burned Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei), and marched eastward to Jingling. The king of Chu fled the capital and took refuge in Chen (see the Battle of Yanying). The Qin State took the capital of Ying as its southern county. Bai Qi was granted the title of Lord Wu'an (he was said to be able to raise soldiers, conquer battles, and secure the people, so he was named Wu'an). He also captured the Chu State and pacified the two counties of Wu and Qianzhong (today's Sichuan and Guizhou areas) (see the Battle of Central Guizhou). (In the 27th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, General Sima Cuo sent troops to attack the central areas of Guizhou, but in the 30th year he started to attack in vain. Chu regained control of Wu and Qianzhong, and initially established Qianzhong County. During this period, Qianzhong was supposed to be recaptured by the Chu State, so there are records of Sima Cuo and Bai Qi attacking Qianzhong twice in historical records)

In the thirty-fourth year, Bai Qi led his army to attack the coalition forces of Zhao and Wei to save Han, and defeated the coalition forces in Huayang (now north of Xinzheng, Henan). Wei general Mangmao fled and captured Han, Zhao, and Wei (Han, Zhao, and Wei are also known as the Three Jin Dynasties). The generals of the Three Kingdoms beheaded 130,000 people (see the Battle of Huayang). He also fought with Zhao general Jia Yan and drowned 20,000 Zhao soldiers.

In the forty-third year, Bai Qi attacked Han Zhixing City, captured five cities, and beheaded 50,000 people (see the Battle of Xingcheng).

In the forty-fourth year, Bai Qi attacked Han Nanyang Taihang Road again and cut off the Taihang Road in South Korea.
