With the support of foreign ministers such as Feiyi and Lou Slow, there is also the support of Gongzi who has become a representative of the clan. In addition, Fei Youtong, Que Guanzi and others designed the reform blueprint. and the stimulation of national humiliation such as Zhongshan's attack on Shancheng and Lou's annoying cavalry and defeat of Zhao State. As a result, Zhao Yong officially issued a decree that the entire territory of Zhao State should implement Hufu cavalry shooting.

Zhao Yong also took the opportunity of promoting Hufu cavalry shooting, forming cavalry, and selecting cavalry, and carried out a major rectification of Zhao's infantry and chariots from top to bottom. The infantry and chariots are also completely new and full of combat effectiveness.

In order to temper a fearsome iron cavalry, Zhao Yong personally selected generals and conducted strict training and assessment of the officers of the iron cavalry. At the same time, a large number of Hu people were recruited into the Iron Cavalry. Due to the addition of the Hu people, a fresh blood was injected into the Zhao State. Zhao and Beihu further integrated and exchanged, and the two influenced each other.

All soldiers who have been selected to become iron cavalry, whether they are Zhao people or Hu people, enjoy the same treatment. This iron cavalry has the title of a hundred gold men. The people of Zhao saw that the cavalry was well paid and had a good future. Whether you are from a humble background or have a Rongdi background, you can get room for promotion. Cavalry is also a way for poor children to seek fame and reform their destiny. Therefore, the people of Zhao State hoped that they could produce a cavalry in their own family, preferably a cavalry general.

For a time, martial arts prevailed in Zhao State, and horse breeding was also a common practice.

Zhao Yong's Hufu cavalry changed the power structure of Zhao and had a huge impact on Zhao's economic structure. At the same time, it also dealt a heavy blow to and weakened the system of clan nobility. After Zhao Yong's reintegration of human and material resources, Zhao State's domestic style was completely renewed, and its military strength was also greatly increased.

At the same time that Zhao was carrying out Hufu cavalry shooting, the situation of the melee between Qi, Chu and Yue also came to an end.

The state of Chu defeated the king of Yue without borders with a momentum like a bamboo. The king of Chu took advantage of the situation to destroy the Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop, and set up Jiangdong County in the land of Wu Yue. Since then, the state of Chu has become a huge country in the middle and lower reaches of the Great River. On the great river, no country can threaten the security of the Chu State. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, because of the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, obtained thousands of miles of land in Wu Yue. The lost dream of a great power in the state of Chu, as well as the self-confidence of the Chu people, have been regained. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was also praised by the Chu people, and he also became the pride of the Chu people.

The news of Chu's attack on Yue reached the Central Plains, causing a violent tsunami.

When Qi Wang Tian Biqi heard the news, his whole person fell silent, and then he broke out strongly and said in shock: "The State of Chu has actually attacked the State of Yue. ”

Although the great Sima Tianhe knew that the King of Qi did not believe the news that the Chu State had destroyed Yue, the destruction of Chu Yue had become a fact, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Yue died in battle. The Yue royal family does not think about the national shame and strives for power and profit. The state of Chu provoked the contradictions of the people of Wu and Yue, and among the members of the Yue royal family, fanned the flames and sow discord. The Yue royal family was defeated by the Chu State. The Yue royal family did not compete with the state of Chu and were scattered everywhere. The land of Wu Yue was incorporated into the territory of the Chu State. The king of Chu set up the newly opened territory as Jiangdong County. ”

"The defeat of the Vietnamese National Assembly is something that the widow expected." Tian Biyi's face stiffened, and he gritted his teeth, "However, the destruction of the Yue Kingdom is beyond the expectations of the widow." The widow thinks he is in control of the situation. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the State of Chu would destroy the State of Yue. ”

Tian He replied: "The destruction of Yue by the Chu State is something that has been planned for a long time. Otherwise, Yue Guo would not have been defeated so quickly. ”

Tian Biqi stabilized his heart and said: "The widow is confident that it will take several years to destroy the Yue Kingdom. The state of Chu actually broke through the Yue state in less than a year and occupied the land of Wu Yue. The country of Yue is even more fragile than the widow imagined. Knowing this, the widow should have taken the opportunity to break through the Yue Kingdom. ”

Tian He said: "Think about how good King Goujian was back then, and how strong Wu Yue's children were. More than a hundred years have passed, and no one expected that the combat effectiveness of the Yue Kingdom would be so poor. Not only did we not expect the Vietnam Congress to be destroyed. I'm afraid that the King of Chu didn't expect that the destruction of Yue would be so smooth. ”

Tian Bibi asked, "What did King Yue see before he died?" ”

Tian He saw that King Qi accepted this fact and sighed: "The original intention of King Yue Wujiang is that the territory of Yue is vast and arrogant. Who would have thought that Wujiang really made Yue country have no territory. King Yue Wujiang was very sad in his heart before he died! ”

"Before King Yue Wujiang died, he must hate the widow. If it weren't for the fact that the widow said that he attacked Chu, how could he have ended up with the destruction of the country and died. Before he died, King Wujiang of Yue may be cursing the widow. Tian Bibi said: "The widow should not focus on the Zhao State and ignore the Yue State. In this way, the Yue Kingdom will not be destroyed by the Chu State, and the King of Yue Wujiang will not die without turning a blind eye. The demise of the Yue Kingdom also has the responsibility of the widows. The widow overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Yue State and underestimated the Chu State. ”

"In order to strengthen the country, Zhao Jun rushed to the doctor when he was sick. What is not good to learn, what to learn is to ride and shoot. Zhao Guo! It is not destined to be the climate. Tian He changed his tone and said, "We don't have to focus on Zhao Guo. Instead, attention should be paid to the state of Chu. The state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue and further bordered the territory of our country. The great power of Chu woke up in a dream, and the Chu people also shouted wildly. The king of Chu will also be sensed by this power and swell sharply. The minister estimated that the Chu State would send troops to attack our country in order to fight for the world. Your Majesty, we must prepare early. ”

Tian Bibi sneered: "The State of Chu is a big country, but it is not a strong country. If the state of Chu wants to attack our country, it will only bring humiliation on itself. Even if the state of Chu does not attack our country, the widows will find trouble with the state of Chu. It's time to re-establish the status of the eastern hegemon of the Qi State. It's also time to find the state of Chu to calculate the revenge of the trouble. ”

Tian He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the State of Chu has destroyed the State of Yue, and the national strength is strong. We should not take this lightly. ”

Tian Biqi didn't take the state of Chu in his eyes at all, and asked everyone: "You tell the widow, what is a strong country, what is a big country." ”

Tian He pondered for a little and replied: "A strong country can be attacked, and retreat can be defended." The enemy does not dare to come, although he comes, he will come; If you raise an army and fight it, you will take it; If you don't fight the soldiers, you will get rich. A great power refers to a huge country with a huge military reserve and a vast territory. The state of Chu is a strong country and a great power. ”

"You're half right. The state of Chu is a big country, but it is not a strong country. Tian Biqi continued: "A strong country is a strong country. The powerful country has enormous political influence, huge military power and abundant resources. A strong country must be a great power, and a great power is not necessarily a strong country. The country is strong, and the enemy country does not dare to attack. Nor do they dare to covet the territory of a powerful country, let alone occupy the territory of a powerful country. The big countries are just a little bigger, and they look intimidating, but in fact they are vulnerable. Hanzhong County of Chu was occupied by Qin, and did not dare to attack Qin Xuesha. Just ask, how can the territory of a strong country be occupied by other countries? Although the state of Chu is large, the princes of the Central Plains never put him in their eyes. The state of Chu can be called a big country at best, but it cannot be called a strong country. ”

Tian He was a little confused when he heard it, "Your Majesty, the Chu State is big but not strong, how can you destroy the Yue Kingdom." ”

"Chu State is just lucky. The state of Chu is like the state of Yue, although the territory is large, the national strength is not strong. Tian Bibi snorted coldly, and said: "The state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue, and the national strength reached its peak. According to the law of the development of things, after the peak of prosperity, it is the beginning of decay. ”

Tian He asked, "What does the king mean?" ”

"The state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue and became a great power on the river. It will definitely threaten the princes of the Central Plains. The princes of the Central Plains saw that the threat of Chu was huge, and in order to save and protect themselves, you can tell me what they would do. ”

"In order to survive and protect themselves, the princes of the Central Plains will unite against the Chu State."

"Not bad. The destruction of the Yue State by the Chu State was the end of luck. It is also the beginning of a catastrophe. Chu is big, but not strong. The state of Chu was destined to begin to decline. Tian Bibi smiled and said: "The princes of the Central Plains will definitely take the Qi State as the core, support the widow as the leader of the alliance, and crusade against the Chu State." belongs to the era of the Qi country, and the era of widows will come. ”

Tian Yang said: "Your Majesty, the land of Chu is thousands of miles, and you are not afraid at all. ”

"It's not the widow who is afraid, but the king of Chu." Tian Bibi said confidently: "In a few days, the princes of the Central Plains will gather in Linzi to support the widows. The widows can unite them to attack the state of Chu with the orders of the overlord. Although the state of Chu is big, how can it fight against the princes of the world. ”

"The king of Chu's luck is running out, and the state of Chu is going to be unlucky." Tian He said: "The king's soldiers are bloodless, and he has become the overlord of the Central Plains, commanding the heroes to attack Chu. Long live the king, long live the Qi country. ”

Everyone also said in unison: "Long live the king, long live the Qi country." ”

Sure enough, the destruction of the Chu State caused extreme panic in the vassal states. The state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue, and went north to win the Central Plains, and it will definitely attack Han and Wei. In addition, a few years ago, when Chu and Qin were in a big war, Han and Wei chose to help Qin and attack Chu in the south. The king of Chu is a person who will take revenge. When the situation is stable, the king of Chu will definitely send troops north to attack Han and Wei.

Han and Wei joined forces, but they could not win against Chu. And Qin was in the midst of civil strife and had no time to take care of the rise of the Chu state. The only force that Han and Wei could rely on was the Qi State. Han and Wei could only put aside their grievances with Qi and unite with Qi to attack Chu. The envoys of Han and Wei came to Linzi, the capital of Qi.

Tian Biyi, the king of Qi, also put aside his past grievances and entertained the envoys of Han and Wei with grand courtesy. After three days of negotiations, the three parties reached an agreement. Han and Wei elected the king of Qi as the leader of the alliance and sent troops together to attack the state of Chu. The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei united and went to war against the state of Chu. The king of Chu destroyed the Yue Kingdom, which greatly increased his confidence. The king of Chu was not afraid of the princes of the Central Plains and went to war against the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei. The king of Chu wants to lead the state of Chu to stand above the princes, and he wants to become the overlord of the new era.

The news of the war of Qi, Han, and Wei against the state of Chu reached Handan, the state of Zhao.

Zhao Yong asked: "Qi Han Wei and Chu are at war, will the Third Central Plains War come?" ”

Fei Yi replied: "Han and Wei united with Qi to attack Chu because Chu became the largest country on the Great River. The state of Chu brought great fear to the princes of the Central Plains. In order to cope with this fear, the princes of the Central Plains sent troops to attack the state of Chu. The princes of the Central Plains were afraid of the power of the Chu State, and they would not fight with all their might. The state of Chu has just gained the land of Yue, and has not yet subjugated the people of Yue. The state of Chu faced the princes in order to show its attitude. The state of Chu and the princes went to war, and the battle line was too long for thousands of miles, and the Chu army would take care of itself. The state of Chu will not devote its strength to attack the princes. The Third Central Plains War will not come. ”

Tian Buli also replied: "The Central Plains will be chaotic, but the pattern will not be broken." The third war in the Central Plains will not come. ”

Li Dui said: "If the Qin State does not participate in the war, the princes of the Central Plains will not rest assured that they will fight against the Chu State. This time it was a war waged by Qi Han Wei in response to the fears brought by the Chu State. The minister also believed that the third war would not come. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Han, Wei, and Qi invited the widow to attack Chu. Whether the widow interfered in the affairs of the Central Plains. ”

"We should not meddle in the chaos in the Central Plains." Fei Yi said: "The more chaotic the Central Plains, the more we will not be able to interfere in our country's internal affairs. We can also take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to promote Hufu cavalry shooting. ”

Everyone also said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

"In the Central Plains war, it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. Since the implementation of Hufu cavalry shooting, there has been an improvement. The Iron Rider is also gradually taking shape. Zhao Yong paused for a while and said: "The Central Plains is in turmoil, and the widow has an idea." ”

Fei Yi asked, "Is the king planning to do something to Zhongshan?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Yongzheng said: "The best way to temper the iron horse is to fight. We attacked Zhongshan not only for the sake of shame, but also to hone the iron horseman. ”

Li Dui said: "There is no chaos in Zhongshan, at this moment, it is not the best time for us to attack Zhongshan. Your Majesty, please think again. ”

Attacking Zhongshan and winning can boost the fighting spirit of the people and unite the people. Once defeated, Hufu cavalry shooting will be ruined. It is really not easy for Hufu to ride and shoot to this day. Everyone didn't want to see the results ruined like this, so they said in unison: "For the sake of the overall situation, please think twice." ”

"The Central Plains cannot interfere in China's internal affairs, and this is the best time." Zhao Yong pointed to a letter on the desk, "The widow got the news that Zhongshan Wang Cuo Yong has passed away." Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Zhongshan is dead, and the new king succeeds to the throne, should we give a big gift? At this moment, it is time to take revenge and recover the city. The widow should also take the first step on the road to a strong country. Hu Di Zhongshan, the widow is going to be decided. ”
