"Oh, it's really interesting that there is such a secret of the past...... Please keep going, both of you. While Ling Hao sent someone to write it down, he continued to urge Xu Jian and Cheng Xia to continue to go down.

Although the monarch of Zhao Guoguo is surnamed Zhao, he cannot go further because of his impure bloodline, and so far only Zhao Li, the great master, continues to be in charge.

The ancestor of Zhao was the father, and after Ji Sheng, the second son of Fei Lian (蜚Lian), a famous minister of the Shang Dynasty, was enshrined in Zhao Cheng because of his meritorious service to the conquest of Xu State, and thus became the Zhao family. After more than 20 generations, the Zhao family passed to Zhao Jianzi, Zhao Ying, Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Wuxian.

Zhao Ying broke the pattern of the six secretaries of the Jin State, and Zhao Wuxian fought the siege of Zhi, Han, and Wei, and Jian Xiang Zhilie established the territory of the Zhao State.

In 403 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei were officially divided into three families, and King Weilie of Zhou appointed Zhao Liehou Zhao as the marquis.

The national capital was successively in Jinyang (now Taiyuan), Zhongmu (now Hebi), Handan (now Handan), and in 372 BC it was established as the capital of Zhao.

When the king of Zhao Wuling, Zhao was called the king, carried out Hufu cavalry shooting, built the Great Wall of Zhao along the Yin Mountain, and destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom in 296 BC.

The territory included most of Hebei Province, most of Shanxi Province, and the part south of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia.

After the monarch of Zhao Guoguo was the fifth grandson of the Yellow Emperor Boyi (Da Fei), he was originally the same ancestor as the Qin royal family. Boyi was given the surname Ying by Emperor Shun for assisting Dayu to control the water, and his clan was the surname Ying.

At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Fei Chang, the great-great-grandson of Ruomu, the second son of Boyi, abandoned Xia to invest in Shang, drove for Shang Tang, assisted Shang Tang to destroy Xia Lishang, and became a hero of the Shang Dynasty. The Ying clan became the nobles of the Shang Dynasty and assisted the Shang Dynasty for generations.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou fell, and the evil of the Ying clan worked for the king of Zhou together with his father Lian, and was killed by King Wu of Zhou after the evil came.

After the death of King Wu of Zhou, the young King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne, and Wu Geng, the son of King Shang, took the opportunity to instigate the rebellion of the three eunuchs, and the tribe surnamed Ying was involved.

Lian also has a son named Ji Sheng. Ji Shengsheng Meng Zeng. Meng Zeng is favored by King Zhou Cheng, he is the wolf of the house.

The wolf in the back house gave birth to a father, and the father gave birth to a father.

The father drove for King Mu of Zhou, and made great contributions when King Mu of Zhou pacified the rebellion of King Xu Yan of Xu State, and was rewarded by King Mu of Zhou to Zhaocheng (now Hongdong, Shanxi).

Since then, the Father Clan has called itself the Zhao clan and is the first clan of the Zhao State.

There is the Qin State in the west, the Wei State in the south, the Qi State in the east, the Yan State in the northeast, and the nomadic people such as Linhu, Loufu, and Donghu in the north.

In addition, there is a country similar to the "country within a country" near Zhao, Zhongshan Kingdom.

In ancient times, there were surnames and surnames, and surnames were divided into two. A surname is the coat of arms of a large clan tribal group, and a clan is the symbol of the clan branch from which a surname is divided. The combination of surnames into one only began during the Qin and Han dynasties. "Hanshu Geographical Chronicle Notes" and "Wen Jie Zi" record Shaohao's surname as Ying. Ying is a different word of Yan, and it is the same sound, so Ying is Yan. At the beginning of the Shaohao family, the swallow (Xuanniao) was used as the totem, so it became the ancestor of the surname Ying. The ancestor of Zhao Rao is the surname Ying (after Shaohao), the Zhao family (after Zhao Chengshu), and has assisted Yin Shang for generations.

King Wu fell, and all the concubines rose together. The Ying surname, which belonged to the close branch of Yin Shang, went into decline, especially the Ying tribe of Xulian, which was rejected by the Zhou royal family because of its foolish loyalty to the king of Zhou. Evil came to die in battle, lost the position of suzerain, and under the arrangement of the Zhou royal family, Ji Sheng, the brother of evil came, served as the suzerain of the Xulian clan. Ji Sheng's great-grandson made his father good at Yu Rong, according to legend, the father was the king of Zhou Mu, because he helped Zhou pacify the rebellion of King Xu Yan, sealed in Zhao City, and then took Zhao as his clan. The father is good at royal Rong, and his nephew Da Luo (after the evil comes) is good at breeding horses. Recommended by the founding father, the Zhou royal family ignored the previous suspicions, and enabled the criminal ministers to come after the evil came, and sealed the management of horses between the Qiān River and the Wei River. Qin Zhongfeng, the grandson of Da Luo, and Zhao Qi, the son of Qin Zhong, is the Duke of Qin Zhuang, so Qin and Zhao are the same sect. After the sixth grandson of the father saved King Xuan of Zhou in the battle of a thousand acres, his son and uncle took the secretary of the Zhou Dynasty, because he was dissatisfied with the mediocrity of King Zhou You, left the king of Zhou, and served the Marquis of Jin Wen. Since then, the Zhao family has settled in the Jin Kingdom and gradually become a prestigious family.

In 403 BC, after the uncle belt, Zhao Liehou and Han Wei divided the Jin dynasty and established the Zhao state.

The state of Zhao was established in 403 BC for more than 700 years, and its territory was roughly the northern and central parts of Shanxi and the western and southern parts of Hebei.

There is a very interesting bridge in the middle, that is, during the period of King Wuling of Zhao, due to the humiliation of the defeat in the battle with Zhongshan, the Xingong (now Xingtai) Dynasty on the fifth day, issued the national policy of Hufu cavalry archery, and began a far-reaching "Hufu cavalry shooting" in the country, the national soldiers changed the traditional wide war uniform to the Hufu characterized by tightness, and changed the traditional infantry as the main body of the army structure to the cavalry and crossbow soldiers as the main body of the army composition.

The so-called "Hufu cavalry and shooting" policy refers to the abandonment of the original wide clothes and chariot tactics of the Central Plains, and replaced them with short clothes and tight sleeves, belt binding, and leather boots Hufu and single cavalry tactics.

Zhao finally defeated Zhongshan in the northeast, and defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu in the northwest.

In the newly opened area in the north, three counties were set up: Yunzhong (now Tuoketuo County, Hohhot), Yanmen (now Dai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi), and Dai (now Wei County, Hebei).

And from Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia to the prototype of the "Great Wall of Zhao".

In 284 BC, after the annexation of the Song State by the Qi State, it was opposed by the other countries, and the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Wei, and Han worshiped Le Yi as their generals and broke the Qi State.

Qi was hit hard by the five kingdoms of Qi, although it was barely restored, but its strength declined greatly, and since then it has been in a slump, and Zhao has defeated its biggest rival Qi in the east, and at the same time, the Hufu cavalry and archery reform carried out by King Wuling of Zhao has enabled Zhao to establish China's first standard cavalry army, making Zhao the first of the six Kwantung states.

King Wuling of Zhao personally disguised himself as an envoy to enter Qin, inspected the terrain of Qin, and intended to attack in Jiuyuan to bypass Hangu Pass to destroy Qin.

After the change of the Dune Palace, King Zhao Wuling and King Zhao Huiwen succeeded to the throne. During this period, the famous generals of Zhao State were famous and defeated the Qin army several times. After meeting with the Qin League in Michi, he took advantage of the opportunity of Qin's attack on Chu to attack the Kanto region, capture the Gaotang of Qi, and attack the Guandong countries all over the country to seize the land.

For a while, Zhao was incomparable in the Kanto region, until the Battle of Changping caused by the ownership of Shangdang County......

And the dividing line of the problem also comes from this war.

The Battle of Changping was a war between the Qin army and the Zhao army in the area of Changping (northwest of Gaoping City, Jincheng, Shanxi Province) of the Zhao State. The Zhao army was finally defeated, and the Qin state won the victory and occupied Changping, and a total of about 450,000 Zhao troops were beheaded and killed in this battle.

This battle was a strategic decisive battle between Qin and Zhao.

The Qin State won several battles in a row, resulting in heavy losses for the Zhao army, and the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable to the Zhao State. Due to the successive defeats in the war, the king of Zhao sued for peace with the Qin state, but was not played, and the defeat of Lian Po's army and the destruction of the city humiliated the Zhao state, so the king of Zhao replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo; Zhao Kuo followed the intention of the king of Zhao, changed the defensive deployment and military regulations of Lian Po, changed the generals, and organized the attack.

In view of Zhao Kuo's weakness of eagerness to win, Bai Qi adopted the operational policy of feint defeat and retreat, lure the enemy from his position, and then divide and encircle and annihilate him, and finally won the war.

The Battle of Changping was the final turning point in the history of the Warring States period, and the unification of the Qin state was only a matter of time (see Periodization of Warring States History).

This battle can be regarded as the earliest, largest, and most thorough large-scale annihilation battle in the ancient military history of Shenzhou...... Could it be that there are still hidden secrets in it?

Next, Xu Jue Chengxia's words really shocked Ling Hao.

It turned out that the world only knew that although Zhao was defeated, Bai Qi followed the will of King Zhaoxiang and killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, but what is not known is that almost all of these 400,000 people were soldiers who were eliminated by Zhao because of impure blood.

That is, Qin spent a lot of effort to fight a battle without suspense, according to the white incident had been secretly reported to King Zhaoxiang, King Zhaoxiang was furious, and then sent troops to invade the territory of Zhao again, but this time the defeat returned, just because the other party has eliminated all the domestic "inferior products", and all those left are veterans and people with good qualifications, and although Qin's military strength is strong, it can not withstand the consumption of Zhao's elite "white wolf horse" full of 80,000 people constantly impacting the Qin army's military array, and finally had to retreat.

According to this, this matter is not recorded in the documents of the Qin State, and it is estimated that it is too embarrassing.

King Zhaoxiang was even more angry with Bai Qi because of this incident, believing that Bai Qi was ineffective and did not report it as soon as possible, resulting in the Qin State being unable to obtain the information of the first stage, and finally cut his military lord and gave him death......

After listening to Xu Jue and Cheng Xia's two rao's narration, Ling Hao couldn't help but sigh a little, a generation of famous generals, the martial arts everyone under the shock actually died under such a calculation.

"But that's not the main reason...... Childe, listen to us and keep coming. Xu Jian and Cheng Xia actually sold Guan Zi at this time.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly!" Ling Hao urged.
