However, having said that, ambition is not a problem, ambition is not terrible, but what is afraid is the kind of hedonistic people who have no enterprising heart and are not even willing to do it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Zhang Jiao summoned King Zhao Wuling's group, but the meaning was a little mysterious.

Although it is said that Wang Qian, the executor of the destruction of Zhao, has not yet appeared, and when Meng Tian and the other soldiers did not confront Zhao Guo head-on, what is more, there are still similarities between what King Zhao Wuling and Meng Tian did in this place.

Fight against the Xiongnu, build the Great Wall, and so on.

However, all this cannot hide the absolute irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides.

After the Qin State annexed the world, Meng Tian was ordered to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Recovering Henan, from Yuzhong to Yinshan, 34 counties were set up. They crossed the Yellow River again, occupied Yangshan, and migrated people to enrich the border counties. Later, the Great Wall of Lintao from Longxi in the west was built to the Great Wall of Liaodong in the east, connecting the Great Wall of Yuanyan, Zhao and Qin as a whole. The Great Wall took advantage of the terrain and set up fortresses to effectively curb the southward advance of the Xiongnu. Later, he was sent to Qin Shi Huang to tour the world to open a straight road, from Jiuyuan County to Ganquan Palace, cut off the mountain range, fill the deep valley, the total length of 1,800 miles, but unfortunately not completed. Meng Tian was stationed in Shangjun for more than ten years, threatening the Huns.

Unlike Meng Tian, who fought under the advantage of internal unity, King Zhao Wuling can be said to have worked hard under the predicament of internal and external troubles, and the final results were not under Meng Tian at all, and it could even be said that he was still excessive.

When King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne, Zhao was not strong and was bullied by the Central Plains. Nomads such as Lin Hu and Lou Fu also harassed from time to time, and the neighboring Zhongshan Kingdom also invaded from time to time.

Zhao was a nomadic civilization in the north and an agrarian civilization in the south, and there was already a serious tendency of division, and the central government of Zhongshan made the central government of Zhao in Handan, which was located in the south, even weaker in its control over Zhao. Moreover, Zhongshan is a country established by nomadic people, which is inserted between Handan, an important town of agricultural civilization, and Daijun, an important town of nomadic civilization, which makes the centrifugal force of Daijun's deviation from Handan, the center of Zhao, stronger. It can be said that among the many enemies, Zhongshan is not the most powerful, but the most troublesome and deadly.

Although Zhongshan was not a first-class power, because it was located in the heart of Zhao, it brought great threats to Zhao's national security and unity. The neighboring states of Qi and Yan colluded with Zhongshan to deal with the state of Zhao. Qi and Yan regarded Zhongshan as the best partner to contain Zhao Guo, and provided a lot of funding to Zhongshan. Due to the obstruction of Qi and Yan, Zhao Guo has not been relieved of this great trouble of his henchmen. Although several generations of monarchs of Zhao wanted to do something, due to the containment of Zhongshan, Zhao's strong career was greatly restricted. Although the heroic and promising Marquis Zhao Suhou repeatedly defeated Qi, Wei, Yan and other powerful countries, he did not make substantial progress in resolving the Zhongshan issue. After King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne, he adhered to the will of the ancestors and launched an attack on Zhongshan with the help of Feiyi.

On the other hand, before the implementation of Hufu cavalry shooting nationwide, King Wuling of Zhao had already conducted a pilot project in the northern part of Zhao State. The all-round nomadic cavalry of the Zhao State took advantage of the strong mobility of the Hu people and discarded the shortcomings of their poor discipline, and won a series of victories in the military struggle against the Hu people in the north.

Therefore, under this premise, King Wuling of Zhao issued a decree to the whole country on the implementation of Hufu cavalry shooting. At the same time, a large-scale attack on Zhongshan was launched.

In addition to adapting to military competition with neighboring countries, the most important purpose of Hufu cavalry archery was to solve the split between the north and the south caused by the two cultures and two political forces represented by Daijun and Handan.

The use of cavalry in military affairs by the Zhao State and the adoption of Hufu adapted to cavalry and archery existed for a long time, but at that time it was only a spontaneous act of the soldiers. This is not the creation of a certain person, but the natural adoption of more winnable means of struggle in accordance with the actual needs of military struggle. It can be said that soon after the nomads came into contact with the Central Plains, the earliest cavalry appeared in China, but it was very primitive in terms of quantity, quality, and tactical use, and could not play a major role in determining the outcome of the war. Cavalry developed into an independent branch of the army in China, and then became a major branch of the army, after a long time. The nomadic life and military training of the Hu people were integrated, and in the battles against the agrarian civilization of the Central Plains, the cavalry was often able to win because of its strong mobility and impact.

After several defeats to the Hu people, the Zhao state, the Qin state, and the Yan state, which bordered the nomadic states, adopted the same combat methods as the Hu people, recruiting Hu cavalry as instructors or directly as soldiers to serve the Central Plains countries. But this kind of mercenary cavalry is very unreliable and difficult to command, and few Chinese generals are skilled in horsemanship, understand the Hu language, and have a deep understanding of Hu culture, and the Hu people who advocate heroism are unwilling to obey generals they do not admire. King Wuling of Zhao wanted to establish a national cavalry that could be firmly controlled by the monarch by combining the direct training of Zhao soldiers into cavalry and the recruitment of Hu cavalry.

After King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne, he reused Lou who was born in Lou Fu and relieved the Qiu Liquid who was born in the Xiongnu, coupled with his father's entrustment of the orphan and heavy minister Feiyi, the foreign ministers of Rong Di of Zhao became the most important group of assistants of King Wuling of Zhao. Although the Zhao State also adopted the system of non-local appointment of ministers that had been applied before, that is, ministers with Rongdi background went to Handan, the center of agricultural civilization, and the ministers of the Huaxia nationality went to the important town of nomadic civilization to serve as officials in the county, in order to achieve the goal of strengthening the exchange between the two cultures and controlling the ministers of the two factions by the monarch. But this method obviously had little effect, and Daijun and Handan became two strong strongholds of the Zhao coup d'état for more than a hundred years. Moreover, the power of Daijun continued to infiltrate Taiyuan County, another important town of nomadic civilization, and Handan controlled Shangdang County, which was close to the Central Plains, and the division between the north and south of Zhao was expanding. The two cultures and the two major political forces of the Zhao State were in a constant state of struggle, and they were getting farther and farther apart, which required the Zhao Wuling King to integrate with an iron fist, clarify their respective positions, and integrate them into a whole that was more dependent than excluded.

As we all know, after the implementation of the Hufu cavalry and archery policy, the effect is also very amazing.

King Wuling of Zhao led his small but very elite cavalry to the north to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom, defeated the main force of the Zhongshan Kingdom at the house, crossed the Zhongshan Kingdom from south to north, and arrived at the Daijun of the Zhao State, as if entering a no-man's land, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the people of the Zhao State. King Wuling of Zhao then reached the Infinity Gate, an important town on the border between Zhao and Loufu, and then passed through the spheres of influence of Loufu and Lin Hu, and turned west towards the Yellow River. King Wuling of Zhao crossed the Yellow River and ascended to the Huanghua area on the west side of the Yellow River, where the Linhu people had been active for a long time. During this trip, King Wuling of Zhao fought many battles with the nomadic cavalry, and none of them were defeated.

King Wuling of Zhao was the only monarch in the history of Zhao who traveled throughout the entire territory of Zhao. Throughout the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao was also one of the few monarchs who had traveled throughout his country. King Wuling of Zhao personally led the cavalry to run rampant between Zhongshan and the fierce rivals in the north, Lou Fu and Lin Hu, which was undoubtedly a very legendary political advertisement, and the strong military effect of Hufu cavalry archery did not need to be repeated, which greatly enhanced the confidence and yearning of the people of Zhao for Hufu cavalry and archery.

Zhao Yu attacked Zhongshan in the northeast, and defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu in the northwest. In the newly opened area in the north, three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai were set up, and the "Great Wall of Zhao" was built.

On the other hand, the relationship between Qin and Zhao at this time, for the descendants of the Qin State, the period of King Wuling of Zhao was not a brilliant thing for the Qin State, but it was a relatively sluggish state.

At that time, King Wu of Qin and the strong warrior Meng said that in the Taimiao of the Zhou royal family in Luoyang, they competed in the dragon Wen Chiding, and unfortunately their tibia was broken and died. King Wu died suddenly, and he had no children, and there was a dispute over the question of his successor. Gongziji was a hostage in Yan State at that time, and King Zhao Wuling used a plan to welcome him from Yan State to Zhao State by Zhao Gu, the prime minister of Dai County, and then sent him to Qin State.

Most of the ministers of the Qin State expressed their opposition to making him king, but with the support of Wei Ran and others, as the half-brother of King Wu, he inherited the throne of King Qin and was King Zhaoxiang of Qin, also known as King Zhao of Qin. At this time, King Zhao was young, and his mother Empress Dowager Xuan listened to the government, and Wei Ran (Empress Dowager Xuan's half-brother) was the general.

Although King Qin Zhao was established by King Zhao Wuling, in order to prevent Qin Wangji from being at the mercy of King Zhao Wuling, Empress Dowager Xuan put Qin Wangji in the air and ruled in person, and her request for King Zhao Wuling was also perfunctory, which made King Zhao Wuling very angry.

King Wuling of Zhao exerted pressure on the Qin state, forcing the Empress Dowager Xuan to appoint Lou Chuan as the Qin minister in order to seek more benefits for the Zhao state. When Lou Xuan entered Qin, King Zhao Wuling pretended to be an entourage and followed Lou Zhuan around. After entering the land of Qin, King Wuling of Zhao carefully investigated the customs and customs along the way, thinking that he would use it when attacking Qin.

After Lou slowly entered Xianyang, the capital of Qin, he met with many ministers of Qin, and King Wuling of Zhao was observing from the side, and had a deep understanding of the strength and weakness of the ministers of Qin. Lou slowly persuaded King Zhao Wuling not to stay in the Qin State for a long time, so as not to be recognized. King Wuling of Zhao proposed that before leaving, he should see King Qin Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan with his own eyes.

King Zhao Wuling rarely showed up in China, but people in the army were more familiar with him, except for meeting the kings of Han and Wei when he was a teenager, King Zhao Wuling rarely met with foreign heads of state. Even King Yan Zhao and King Qin Zhao, who were set up by King Zhao Wuling himself, did not specifically meet him because he was in the army. This time, it was not a whim for King Zhao Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan to meet King Qin Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan, he wanted to personally understand the behavior of the mother and son, so as to facilitate future decisions on Qin.

When the extremely sensitive King Qin Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan met Lou Zhuan, they found that Lou Huan, who had always been proud of his demeanor, was inadvertently submissive to the tall entourage behind him, and was quite curious. In the Q&A with this middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, I found that this person's mind and insight are even more remarkable. In addition to admiration, the mother and son also had great doubts. After Lou Zhuan said goodbye, King Zhao Wuling had already sensed that Empress Dowager Xuan and King Qin Zhao were aware of him, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Lou Chu and returned to Zhao. Before parting, King Zhao Wuling warned Lou Yan that the mother and son were both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they must be careful to deal with them.

Empress Dowager Xuan and King Qin Zhao felt that Lou Zhuan's entourage was by no means an idle person, and it must be an extremely noble person from Zhao State who came to peek at Qin's feelings. Therefore, the messenger was sent to invite Lou Yan and this extraordinary entourage to the palace in the evening. The messenger returned, and Lou slowly agreed. In the evening, Lou slowly went to the appointment without seeing the extraordinary entourage. Lou Xuan said that this entourage was rude and had been sent back to Zhao State. This strengthened the judgment of the Empress Dowager Xuan, who determined that this person was King Zhao Wuling, and quickly sent elite horsemen to chase after her. The elite rode all the way, and chased to the side and did not see King Zhao Wuling. The defenders told them that the envoy of Zhao had just left. Empress Dowager Xuan and King Qin Zhao were jealous of King Zhao Wuling's deep peeking on Qin Zheng.

Honestly, what is the concept of this thing?

Needless to say, King Zhao Wuling's courage and wisdom are self-evident. For the Qin State, a person of your status came over, did not send an envoy, did not submit the credentials, and just hid behind and came in to watch, the problem here is to say that it is a big matter related to the national body, and it can be said that it is normal to not die.

If the national strength is enough to allow, it is natural to go to war directly to take the other side.

Of course, having said that, King Qin Zhao did not live up to King Zhao Wuling's jealousy, and he really gave Zhao Guo a hard time.

At that time, the situation of Zhao Guojun was harmonious and peaceful. Feiyi, Lou Slow, Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hao, Lian Po, Li Mu and other famous generals have emerged. Zhao had many fierce styles, advocating strength, generosity and sadness, and was taught the art of war, so he quickly became a northern military power in the middle and late Warring States period. The speed of its rise was beyond the expectations of the world, and it was enough to make the six countries look sideways. In the middle and late Warring States period, the three great powers of the East (Wei, Qi, and Chu) declined one after another, and when the power of Qin was alone in the world, Zhao was the mainstay, and its role can be described as pivotal.

Zhao was the biggest obstacle to Qin's eastward exit, and the ruling circles of Qin and Zhao fought openly and secretly, deceitful and deceitful, and their diplomatic intrigues became more and more intense. The occurrence of major diplomatic events such as King Wuling's envoy to Qin, Wanbi to return to Zhao and Mianchi, is the true embodiment of Qin and Zhao's mutual temptation and secret competition. King Qin Zhaoxiang was powerful in the world, but he was humiliated by Lin Xiangru, the minister of Zhao State, not willingly, but because of the strength of Zhao State, he did not dare to make trouble and had no choice but to hear. In this round of political and diplomatic contests, Qin was fierce outside the country, Zhao was fighting against each other, and Qin did not get any bargains. In 269 BC, Hu Yang, a general of the Qin faction, led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack the Zhao State of Zhao, but was defeated by the elite cavalry of the Zhao army led by Zhao Hao. The tragic and tragic Qin-Zhao Changping War kicked off against the background of such an era.

That's right, the Battle of Changping took place in the late Qin Zhao Dynasty.

Appointed Fan Ju as the prime minister and Bai Qi as the general, defeated the Zhao army in Changping, captured the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Kingdom, captured the king of Zhou, moved Jiuding to Xianyang, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Qin Unification War.

For this matter, I don't know what the resurrected King Zhao Wuling will think.

But it's nothing, he didn't even toss his son clearly, and the King of Qin, who he supported, thought it was an easy to control condition, but he didn't want to have such a good color, and there was nothing to say. (To be continued.) )
