"Never, my lord! Once Yunzhong and Yanmen are lost, how can they resist the invasion of the northern Xiongnu year after year? After listening to the bad idea of Guo Kai, the traitor of Zhao State, Zhao Jia, he was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet and scolded!

"King, if we don't send elite soldiers from the north, do you want to let our weak ministers go to the battlefield to fight? Or are the tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Handan City able to repel Qiang Qin? "Guo Kai, the traitor of Zhao State, continued to bewitch Zhao Qian, the king of Zhao.

Zhao Qian, the king of Zhao, thought for a long time, but still sighed, "The widow is sorry for the ancestors!" Immediately ordered Li Mu to move the people, and when the people migrated to the end, he sent elite troops to the south to defend Handan. ”

Zhao Guoyanmen City guarded the mansion.

"General, is the king really determined to give up Yunzhong and Yanmen?" The deputy general Sima Shang refused to believe that the land within a radius of hundreds of miles would give up when he said he would give up.

"The king's meaning is just to let us shrink our defense, and there is no intention of abandoning Yunzhong and Yanmen." Li Mu, the general of Zhao Guo, explained, in fact, this explanation is not to comfort himself.

"General, you don't have to deceive yourself, after the people are relocated, where will there be soldiers to guard Yunzhong and Yanmen?" The deputy general Sima Shang said angrily, "It's all Guo Kai, a selfish villain, who bewitches the king, without Yunzhong and Yanmen, the cavalry of Zhao State will have no war horses and soldiers!" ”

Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, couldn't help but recall the great King Wuling of Zhao. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, he implemented the policy of "Hufu Cavalry and Shooting", promoted the Zhao State to become stronger and stronger, swallowed up the Zhongshan Kingdom, defeated the Linhu and Loufu tribes, opened up the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun, and built the "Great Wall of Zhao".

The Five Nations Alliance is approaching, and the new Zhao King Zhao Yong, who has just succeeded to the throne, is only fifteen years old, and no one thought that he would be a legend! Dating back to 326 B.C., Zhao Suhou, the monarch of Zhao who reigned for 24 years, died of illness. It became a powerful country among the princes, and took the place of the declining Wei State to carry the banner of the expansion of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Central Plains. The death of the Marquis of Zhao Suhou made other vassal states see the opportunity to plot against Zhao, and the five great powers of Wei, Chu, Qin, Yan, and Qi each sent tens of thousands of elite troops to approach Zhao's borders in the name of attending the funeral, preparing to take the opportunity to encroach on Zhao's territory.

For the fifteen-year-old new monarch Zhao Yong, who had just succeeded to the throne, his father's funeral was definitely a huge test for him. If you are too weak in front of the enemy at this time, you will breed the wolf ambition of the aggressor. Therefore, under the planning of his father's loyal minister Feiyi, King Wuling of Zhao decided to take a tough attitude towards the condolence envoys who came from various countries first. At the same time, he ordered martial law throughout the country, and the armies in all parts of the country were put in the highest state of readiness, ready to fight the enemy to the end at any time.

King Wuling of Zhao also sent envoys with heavy money to the Han, Song, Yue and other countries bordering these five countries, as well as the Loufu tribe, and asked them to send troops to threaten the borders of the five countries. In the end, after the multi-faceted layout of King Zhao Wuling's monarchs and ministers, the five kingdoms saw that they could not take advantage of anything, so they withdrew one after another, and the young King Zhao Wuling withstood this severe test.

In order to enhance the military strength of the Zhao State, with the help of the minister Feiyi and others, he decided to implement the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" in the country, every reform will encounter strong resistance, accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, Zhao Wuling King in the implementation of the Hufu, coach riding and archery, the early stage of the reform was also strongly resisted by the clan nobles, and finally he knew it with emotion, moved by reason, and persuaded the uncle Gongzi Cheng, who had the highest prestige among the clan nobles, so that the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" could be carried out smoothly.

Through this reform of enriching the country and strengthening the army, Zhao established an unusually powerful cavalry force, and in order to improve the combat effectiveness of this team, King Wuling of Zhao selected strong warriors from the country to enter the cavalry unit, and greatly improved their treatment. The people of Zhao were proud to be able to join the cavalry troops. At the same time, King Wuling of Zhao selected a group of civilian officers from the army to fill the cavalry unit, which greatly strengthened the control of this army.

In the twenty-first year of King Wuling of Zhao (305 B.C.), in order to test the results of reform, Prince Wuling of Zhao led a large army to attack the old enemy Zhongshan Kingdom, and won successive battles, capturing more than a dozen cities of Zhongshan Kingdom, forcing Zhongshan Kingdom, which had good military strength, to the brink of extinction. In the following years, King Wuling of Zhao continued to lead his army to conquer, and continued to encroach on the territory of Zhongshan and the Loufu, Linhu and other tribes, greatly expanding the territory of Zhao.

In addition, Handan and Daijun, which were once isolated by the Zhongshan Kingdom, were connected, and through regional integration and the implementation of a series of policies, the estrangement and contradiction between the traditional Han ministers of the Zhao State represented by the two places and the foreign ministers with Rongdi background were eliminated. This also strengthened the cohesion within the ruling class of the Zhao State.

After the implementation of a series of political and military measures, Zhao State, under the leadership of King Zhao Wuling, has become one of the powerful countries in the world that can be compared with Qin. The more than 20 years of King Zhao Wuling's reign is completely a history of the struggle of Zhao from an ordinary vassal state to a powerful country in the world.

King Zhao Wuling also relied on his brilliant achievements in military martial arts to have incomparable influence and appeal throughout the country, if his life came to an abrupt end, then it can be said with great certainty that he had a much greater evaluation and fame in later generations than now. However, history has no ifs, only consequences and results.

King Wuling of Zhao relied on his strong national strength, and took advantage of the civil strife in Yan and Qin to support the establishment of Yan Wang Ji and Qin Wang Yingji respectively, and for a while Zhao became the most powerful existence among the Seven Kingdoms! It's a pity that the time is too short, King Zhao Wuling died too early and too suddenly, these two decisions have also evolved into wrong decisions, and they have become the nightmare of Zhao State, it is estimated that King Zhao Wuling would never have dreamed that his vision would be so good.

Because after the recruitment of talents by the king of Yan Zhao, the powerful Yan State has become a big problem next to Zhao Guo. And Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji reused the killing god Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping, which directly cut off Zhao's hope of hegemony and completely hurt Zhao's vitality.

cut off the remembrance, and Li Mu, the general of Zhao Guo, regained his radiant appearance.

"Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable! Who can guarantee that my Zhao Kingdom will not re-emerge? When the time comes, don't say that the two places in the clouds and Yanmen, even the whole world will surrender to my big Zhao's iron horse! Li Muhao said angrily, "Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries." Since the king decided to repel the Western Qin first and then deal with the Xiongnu in the north, we, as courtiers, can only obey orders. ”

"In that case, I'll go down and arrange it right away. I hope that it can be arranged properly before the Qin army advances eastward. The deputy general, Sima Shang, bowed down to the order and hurriedly went to arrange the specific matters.

"It's a pity, even if you win, you lose!" After Zhao Guo's general Li Mu and other deputy generals Sima Shang left, they couldn't help but cry!

Luoyang City Guard.

Meng Yi learned the news that Li Mu was about to go south from the black-clothed guard's secret report, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"With the current national strength of the Zhao State, it is simply impossible to fight against the powerful Qin State alone. If I am not mistaken, King Yingzheng of Qin will definitely force the surrendered Wei State and Korea to attack Zhao State together at this moment, trying to solve Zhao's fifty-year-old enemy in a short time. Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, sighed.

"Li Mu is worthy of being one of the famous generals of Zhao State, and he actually tried to turn the tide with his own strength! It's a pity that it's just a dream of Nanke! Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Nan Ke is a dream? What do you mean by that? Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, asked curiously.

"Well...... In ancient times, there was a man named Chun Yuzun. There is a big locust tree with deep roots and lush leaves in the courtyard of his house, in the middle of summer night, the moon and stars are scarce, the shadow of the tree is swaying, and the evening breeze is blowing, which is a good place to enjoy the shade. Once, because he was drunk, he couldn't help but rest under the locust tree in the courtyard, but he didn't expect to fall asleep because of it. In his dream, he saw that the king of Huai'an sent someone to take him to Huai'an, and then married his beloved princess to him, and sent him to serve as the governor of Nanke County. During this time, Chun Yudi managed Nanke in good order, and the king admired him very much. His five sons all have titles, and two daughters are also married to princes, so his status in Huai'an is very high. Later, when the Tanluo Kingdom attacked Nanke County, Chun Yudi's army was defeated, and then his wife died of a serious illness.

All this misfortune made Chun Yudi not want to continue to live in Nanke County, so he returned to the capital. However, in the capital, someone spoke ill of Chun Yudi in front of the king, and the king arrested his child and sent him back to his original hometown without verifying it. As soon as he left Huai'anguo, Chun Yudi woke up and realized that it was a dream. Soon, Chun Yudi found that there was an ant hole under the locust tree in the courtyard, and there was a palace made of mud in the hole, such as Hanseongchi, etc., and he suddenly realized that the Huai Anguo he saw in his dream should be this ant hole. And the tallest branch of the locust tree may be Nankejun, where he was the guard. Chun Yudi thought of everything in Nan Ke in his dream, and felt that the world was very impermanent, and the so-called wealth and fame could easily disappear. Meng Yi suddenly remembered that Nan Ke's dream was still a story in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and immediately recited nonsense, anyway, it was just to describe Li Muzhi being higher than the sky and rejoicing in the sky.

"It's an interesting story! However, if Zhao Wang Zhao reuses Li Mu, I'm afraid Huan Qi will suffer a big loss! Are you sure you don't advise King Yingzheng of Qin? Dong An, the master of the Guigu Gate, asked puzzledly.

"The king's reuse of Huan Qi and shelving Wang Jian are all a well-planned chess game, how can it be easily changed? Besides, I'm afraid the king didn't take Li Mu in his eyes. Meng Yi explained, and at the same time remembered that Li Mu had only defeated the Xiongnu tribe and the weak Yan State at this time.

The arrogant army will be defeated, and to underestimate the enemy is to underestimate yourself!
