Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Suhou, Zhao Wuling Wang, three ancestors and grandsons

In the early and middle Warring States period, during this period, the countries that ended the chaos and unified the mountains and rivers included five countries: Wei, Qi, Chu, Zhao, and Qin. Of course? If you want to pacify the princes and dominate the world, you must naturally have famous ministers and generals.

The Wei State had military generals such as Li Kui, Ximen Leopard, Le Yang, Wu Qi, Pang Juan, Gongsun Yan and others; Qi also has Tian Ji, Sun Bin, Tian Pan, Kuang Zhang, Tian Dan and others; The Qin State had Yingji, Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Sima Cuo, Ren Contempt, and later Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others, one of the four famous generals in the late Warring States period; The state of Chu also had Zhaoyang, Qu Yuan, Zhaoju and others; Will the generals of Zhao be only after King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, Lian Po and Li Mu in the late Warring States period.

So, in the early and middle Warring States period, did Zhao have no famous generals? Or is it that the Zhao family only has Jian Xiangzhi.

The answer is no.

The Zhao clan is different from other vassal states. That is the king of the Zhao clan, who is not only the lord of a country, but also a person who can fight well. As the saying goes, the Zhao family, Wen can be Anbang, and Wu can set the country. The leader of the Zhao clan has always personally put on armor and established meritorious deeds.

Whether it is Zhao Jianzi, or Zhao Xiangzi, and later the monarchs of the Zhao State, they have inherited the Zhao family's heavy military and warlike style.

Han, Zhao, and Wei were divided into Jin, and they were made princes by Zhou Tianzi, and the founding of the Zhao family began. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States also kicked off. Of course? At this time, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period referred to Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan, Chu, Qin, and Qi (Jiang Qi).

Han, Zhao, and Wei divided the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Wei received the most densely populated and economically developed region of the Jin state; Korea obtained the iron ore of the Jin Kingdom, which was rich in good bows and crossbows; The state of Zhao received the northernmost vast territory of the Jin state.

At the beginning of the division of the three families, Zhao was the strongest and the territory was the most vast.

Although Han, Zhao, and Wei inherited the mantle of the Jin Kingdom, they were also divided by Zhou Tianzi. However, the princes of the world regard them as rebels. In order to save the picture and be strong, stand firm. Han, Zhao, and Wei united to deal with the princes.

The Wei State was deeply trapped in the land of four wars, with the princely states of Qi and Song in the east, the Chu State in the south, and the Qin State in the west. In order to change the unfavorable situation, Wei Wenhou selected talents in an eclectic manner, opened a precedent for changing the law, and tempered a phalanx of Wei Wushu who was proud of the princes. The Wei State suddenly rose up, attacked Qi and Song in the east, attacked Chu in the south, attacked Qin in the north, crossed the expedition, and leveled Zhongshan.

South Korea took advantage of the good bow and crossbow to wipe out Zheng Guo, who was known as the little overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as some achievements.

Both Wei and Korea were annexing territories and expanding their power. After the martyrdom of Jian Xiang, did the Zhao State not achieve a proud record. Why is that? This is because of the Zhao family, the monarch changes too frequently. There is also a tradition, that is, internal friction.

As the states of Qi and Qin gradually became stronger, the state of Zhao did not go to a high place, but had a tendency to decline. Therefore, Jian Xiangzhilie also became the most glorious period of the Zhao family.

And today? Let's briefly talk about the great achievements of the three generations of Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Suhou, Zhao Wuling Wang, and the three generations of grandchildren.

In 375 B.C., after the founding of the Zhao State, there was a monarch, Zhao Jinghou Yong, who died. His son, the son of the son succeeded to the throne, this is Zhao Chenghou.

Marquis Zhao succeeded to the throne and inherited his father's warlike character.

Throughout the career of Marquis Zhao Cheng, he succeeded to the throne to quell the rebellion--- fought with the princes--- divided the land to meet the alliance--- Handan catastrophe.

When Zhao Chenghou succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to quell the rebellion. Then, it was a battle with the princes. During this period, the Marquis of Zhao Cheng was at war with the vassal states of Wei, Wei, Qi, and Qin, and also divided the state of Zhou into two. Taking advantage of the death of Marquis Wu of Wei, Marquis Zhao joined forces with Korea to attack Wei and almost split Wei in two.

However, the Handan catastrophe was the biggest defeat in his later years. After the Handan disaster, he died depressed.

In 350 BC, the Marquis of Zhao Cheng died, and Gongzi Yu succeeded to the throne, which was the Marquis of Zhao Su.

When Marquis Su of Zhao succeeded to the throne, the disaster in Handan had already caused the national strength of Zhao to decline.

When Marquis Zhao Suhou succeeded to the throne, he naturally had to take the path of his father... Counterinsurgency.

Because the heirs left by Zhao Chenghou are all ambitious people who can fight well, no one will obey anyone. Although Marquis Zhao Suhou inherited the throne, many of his brothers were dissatisfied. In just three years, he put down the rebellion twice.

After the Handan catastrophe, the state of Zhao has declined greatly. Coupled with the two counterinsurgency counterinsurgency, the military power was spent, and the Zhao State was even weaker.

However, Marquis Su of Zhao was not incompetent, not only seizing land (the fief of the Jin monarch) to quell the rebellion, but also competing with the princes. Zhao Suhou's life was mainly at war with the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Wei. Since the Handan catastrophe was a national humiliation imposed by the Wei people on the Zhao state, Zhao Suhou competed with the Wei state all his life.

Of course? After all, Wei is a person with a hegemonic foundation, and coupled with the art of combining and longitudinal, Zhao Chenghou suffered a lot of losses. It was defeated by the combined forces of Wei and Qi in the east, and Qin in the west. However, Zhao Suhou was also the lord who did not admit defeat, and before he died, he also united with Korea to besiege Xiangling of Wei.

Although Zhao Suhou failed to make a fuss, he revitalized the national strength. However, the Marquis of Zhao Su seized the land to quell the rebellion, conquered the princes without falling behind, and kept the foundation of the Zhao family, and he was also a generation of heroes.

In 326 BC, Zhao Suhou failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish and walked towards the end of his life. In the same year, Prince Yong succeeded to the throne, which was the most famous king of Zhao... King Zhao Wuling.

King Wuling of Zhao succeeded to the throne, so that there were no brothers to fight with him, although Zhao did not put down the rebellion again and again. However, when the princes saw that the Marquis of Zhao Su, the lord of a generation, was gone, and the Wei State invited Qi, Yan, Chu, and Qin to be buried, this was when King Zhao Wuling succeeded to the throne and faced the first test... Five National Funerals.

Of course? Marquis Cheng of Zhao and Marquis Su of Zhao, the pride of the princes who fought were also inherited to King Wuling of Zhao. King Zhao Wuling succeeded to the throne and chose to break the net, and with a tough attitude, he broke the plan of the funeral of the Five Kingdoms.

Subsequently, King Zhao Wuling gave full play to the Zhao clan's heavy martial and belligerent personality.

King Wuling of Zhao first resolved the hatred between Han and Wei. Go north to attack Yan and defend Daijun in northern Xinjiang.

King Wuling of Zhao adhered to the national policy left by the ancestors to go south to compete for hegemony among the princes.

Whether it is Zhao, Han, Wei, Yan, Zhongshan, the prime minister of the five kingdoms; or Zhao, Han, Wei, Yan, Chu, the Five Kingdoms invaded Qin; Zhao, Han, and Wei attacked Qi in the east and reached Qin in the west; Qin, Zhao, Zhongdu, Xiyang, Lishi, Lin Cheng battles; Zhao was defeated.

Although King Zhao Wuling was defeated repeatedly, he was also tenacious and competitive, and he did not admit defeat. King Zhao Wuling came to his senses in the lesson of the fiasco, that is... Without Wang Shi, dare to be called the king?

So, King Zhao Wuling made an unprecedented decision to go to the king and depreciate himself to the king.

King Wuling of Zhao took advantage of the destruction of Yan in the State of Qi, decisively interfered in the internal affairs of Yan, and supported Yan Proton to return to the country under the slogan of counterinsurgency and expulsion of Qi, which was the famous King Yan Zhao of the later Yan Kingdom.

After failing to fight against the princes, King Wuling of Zhao also realized that the national policy was wrong, and no longer insisted on going south, but chose to inherit the martyrdom of Jian Xiang, was plundered of Hu land, and expanded his territory.

King Zhao Wuling made another decision that was not in line with etiquette... Promote Hufu riding and shooting.

King Zhao Wuling's move was unprecedented. Learn to ride and shoot from the Hu people and change customs, which is unprecedented. King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, and the difficulties encountered are difficult to describe in words.

Fortunately, King Zhao Wuling has strategy, courage, and personality charm, and unswervingly promotes Hufu cavalry shooting.

belongs, the era of King Zhao Wuling is also gradually coming.

First, he cut down Zhongshan several times, but did not fall into defeat; crossed the river to the west, recovered the lost land, and attacked Linhu in the north; Sending five envoys to the princes, what a beautiful scenery; intervened in Qin's internal affairs and supported Qin's proton son Ji as the king, which was the later King Zhaoxiang of Qin;

and, attack Sanhu in the north and clear the border troubles; Thousands of miles of Hujiang were opened up and thousands of miles of the Great Wall were built; Alone in Qin, the princes of the world are discussed; formulate a strategy for cutting down Qin in the clouds and Yanmen; Surrender Lou Fu, wipe out Zhongshan, and add meritorious service. It's a pity that the sand dunes died, and the Zhao family was wise and never again.

King Wuling of Zhao not only inherited the Zhao clan's heavy martial and belligerent style, but also carried it forward. In the territory of Zhao State, martial arts prevailed.

Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Suhou, and Zhao Wuling King all personally put on armor to go into battle, meet the princes, open up the territory, and the famous male lords, ancestors and grandchildren, and compete for hegemony for more than 70 years. In particular, King Zhao Wuling was the most regrettable monarch in the Warring States Period. If King Wuling of Zhao does not die and dominates the world, it is not yet known whether it is the Qin State.

Being able to fight with martial arts, governing the country with civil energy, going into battle in armor, and facing the princes are all the warlike style of the Zhao family.

During the Warring States Period, Zhao State, except for Lian Po and Li Mu in the late Warring States period, these two were not world-famous generals. The monarch of the Zhao family is also a famous general. Wu can determine the country, Wen can govern the country, the princes of the world, only the martial style of the Zhao family.

By the way, King Zhao Hui chased the Central Plains, showed off his strength, and faced the princes. The state of Zhao had a bad relationship with the princes, and since then it has also embarked on the old road of the Wei state, and the predicament of being embattled on all sides.

King Zhao Xiaocheng did not need to be Lianpo, and in the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State was in a slump from then on.

Although King Zhao Mourning Xiang wanted to revive the Zhao State and become the lord of Zhongxing, Nai's luck was not good.

King Zhao Youmiao killed Li Mu, and finally Handan was broken and his family and country were destroyed.

However, although Handan was broken, Zhao was also resisting Qin. Dai Wang Jia was in Daijun, united with the Yan army, resisted the Qin State, and tried in vain to recover the mountains and rivers, but the general trend had gone and there was nothing he could do.
