The situation in the main hall was reversed in vain, so that everyone was a little unable to react, how could they have expected that Zhao Fan, who was already close to defeat, would suddenly burst out with such a great force and kill the Wu Hei with one blow.

The changes on the field were too fast, even Xu Ying, Xu Xiong, Lian Po and other masters were a little stunned, with their eyesight, they didn't see what happened just now, but they had already guessed that Zhao Fan's decline just now was completely his own deliberate weakness, in order to relax the vigilance of the black people, and achieve the goal of suddenly breaking out and defeating the enemy with one blow.

Immediately, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po and others also showed appreciation in their eyes, Zhao Fan could think of this strategy, which was enough to prove that he was not a reckless man who only knew how to use force, because, if he was so hard-hitting, Zhao Fan would lose sooner or later.

After all, after so many years, how can it be compared to Zhao Fan.

Wu Hei looked at a bloody hole in his chest in disbelief, his pupils gradually turned gray, and he didn't expect that one by one Zhao Guozi would be able to defeat him!

Not only him, but everyone didn't expect it, Zhang Hong's face was trembling, and he pointed at Zhao Fan on the field with both hands, and he couldn't speak for a long time, the Wu Hei was actually in the Qin State, but he was not just a pawn commander of the Iron Eagle Guard, he was the coach of the entire Iron Eagle Guard, responsible for the training of the Iron Eagle Guard, teaching swordsmanship, and the way of fighting.

It is precisely because of this that King Qin deliberately sent him here, the purpose was to challenge the swordsmanship master of Handan and promote the prestige of the Qin State, and everyone had strong confidence in his swordsmanship, but they did not expect that such a swordsman would be defeated by Zhao Fan.

"Boom!"

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and finally, all the ministers and even the guards and maidservants broke out into thunderous cheers, Zhao Fan represented the entire Zhao State, defeated its martial blacks, and indirectly defeated the Qin State.

This is a microcosm of the confrontation between Qin and Zhao, and Zhao Fan's victory over the Wu Negro is undoubtedly a rather important honor for all Zhao people.

The black man groaned and fell to his knees.

At this time, Zhao Fan also turned around, knelt down on one knee and said to King Huiwen: "Brother Fortunately, he did not disgrace his life and defeated the black men of Qin Guowu. ”

He deliberately said these words to the Wu Hei people, and immediately, when the Wu Hei people heard the words, they were also furious, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and threw themselves on the ground, as if they were kowtowing to Zhao Guo, and they were killed on the spot.

Zhang Hong's face turned pale, this time he sent an envoy to Zhao State, not only did he not take the slightest advantage, but his repeated schemes were all seen through by Zhao Fan, for him, after returning to Qin State, there must be no good fruit to eat.

That Wu Hei was King Qin's favorite swordsman, and when he got this news, he would be furious.

Immediately, he was also full of ashes, and left the hall amid the laughter of everyone and the sound of dark disdain. This is the end of the banquet, everyone actually understands the intention of Qin Guo this time, so they are not the slightest polite to them.

The people who came were not good, so why did they save so much face.

Besides, didn't that Wu Hei originally want to kill Yang Ran? Although Yang Ran is only one of the bearded sword knights of the Zhao State, and his identity is not very noble, but after all, he is a Zhao person, and if he wants to get the support of his subjects, he must at least ensure their safety, and he cannot let the people of other vassal states slaughter him.

King Huiwen personally poured a glass of wine, left the table and walked towards Zhao Fan, and exclaimed: "Such a spear skill is really unprecedented, Brother Wang is able to thwart the conspiracy of the Qin State today, and raise the prestige of my Great Zhao, Brother Wang will give you a glass of wine." ”

Xiang Shaolong put down the short gun, kowtowed to thank him, and knelt to take the wine and drank it all.

The cheers rang out from the sky.

No one was interested in casting a glance at the corpse of the black man.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Hong said goodbye and left, and King Huiwen, Zhao Fan and others did not stay, allowing him to return to Qin with his guards. Now that Wu Hei is dead, and his small actions have been seen through by Zhao Fan and others, there is no point in staying, so he has to leave.

In this regard, Zhao Fan and the others naturally knew that watching him leave Handan in a gloomy manner, there was also a trace of happiness in their hearts.

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting", Mao Taizu in the previous life was in Qinyuan Spring. In the snow, we describe an extraordinarily enchanting northern snow scene, and a few simple finishing touches describe the winter in the north so descentingly.

Now Handan City, is such a snowy scene, it is now December, to the coldest season of the year, this time, is the quietest time in the entire Warring States, there is generally no war in winter, whether it is a commoner noble, all at home in peace, waiting for the next year's erection.

Zhao Fan and his two wives in the plain monarch's mansion, lived a chic and comfortable life, during this time, no other changes occurred, every day he was the morning dynasty, and then discussed state affairs with Lin Xiangru and others, and had time to learn martial arts with Xu Ying Xu Xiong and others.

Li Mu often went to the general's mansion during this time, and now the general is naturally Lian Po, he is highly respected, and the command ability is extremely strong, the position of the general is well deserved, and no one has the slightest objection.

At this time, Li Mu has shown the potential of a generation of famous generals, and during this time, he has continued to discuss the art of war with Lian Po and other generals of Zhao State, and related matters such as marching and fighting, showing a strong military talent, and even Lian Po is appreciative.

Originally, Li Mu should not have come out so early, of course, all of this has something to do with Zhao Fan's crossing, so Li Mu will come to Handan so early now, according to the original historical trajectory, Li Mu should still be Yunzhong County now, fighting against the Hu people.

However, the historical trajectory has changed, but the military talent in it will not change because of Zhao Fan's arrival, but will become stronger, after all, if it was original, it would be impossible for him to contact famous generals such as Lian Po and Le Yi so quickly.

Talking to these people is naturally of great help to his knowledge of military affairs, Li Mu, as the Wu Anjun of the Zhao State, is the same title as the Wu Anjun of the Qin State, from this point on, it can be seen how high Li Mu's attainments in military affairs are.

Li Mu, like Bai Qi, has never tasted a defeat in his life, and in the last years of the Warring States Period, the most outstanding general of the Six Eastern Kingdoms against the Qin State, there is no one, otherwise it would not be possible to be called Wu Anjun with the god of war Bai Qi.

Seeing that Li Mu continued to ask Lian Po and others for advice, Zhao Fan was also quite happy, Zhao Guo had Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Li Mu and other good generals, so why not be able to compete with Qin Guo, thinking of this, Zhao Fan suddenly thought of Zhao Hao.

It's a pity that the former is now in Yan State, although Zhao Hao is not as famous as Li Mu and Lian Po, but he is also an extremely outstanding general in the Warring States Period, and even Zhao Fan believes that Zhao Hao's commanding ability and military attainments may not necessarily be worse than Lian Po.

After all, there is very little information about the pre-Qin, and there is only one battle with the Qin State to break the Qin army.

At that time, the state of Qin attacked Korea, and the army was stationed in Yanhe. King Zhao summoned Lian Po and asked, "Can I go to the rescue?" He replied, "The road is long, and it is difficult and narrow to rescue." He summoned Lecheng again to ask about it, and Lecheng's answer was the same as Lian Po's words. He summoned Zhao Hao to ask, and Zhao Hao replied: "The road is far away and the road is narrow, for example, two rats fighting in a hole, which one is brave and which one wins." King Zhao sent Zhao Hao to lead the troops to rescue Yan You, and finally broke the Qin army and was named Ma Fujun.

From here, it can be seen that Zhao Hao's unique thoughts, even Lian Po and others feel that there is no play, but Zhao Hao thinks that he can fight and win, it can be seen from this battle that Zhao Hao should not be worse than Lian Po.

"It seems that I want to find an opportunity to go to Yan Country and bring Zhao Hao back." Zhao Fan said secretly.

For Zhao now, it is undoubtedly a thirst for talent, and a person with outstanding talent will also have a great impact on a vassal state, and the original Shang Yang is a typical example.

At the beginning, the king of Wei did not pay attention to Shang Ying, which caused the former to run to the Qin State and implemented the Shang Yang reform, which played an extremely crucial role in the strength of the Qin State.

Confucius put forward the idea of "talent is difficult", believing that talent is related to the success or failure of the country. However, talent is very rare, but it is very important to the country. Therefore, he sighed: "It's difficult, isn't it? On the occasion of Tang Yu, Yu Si wins. ”

Feeling this, Zhao Fan immediately found King Huiwen and Lin Xiangru and others, and discussed how to attract talents from all over the world, and finally reached an agreement to issue a talent seeking order in Handan City and Jinyang and other big cities to gather talents from all over the world.

The promulgation of the order to seek merit, immediately attracted a great influence, because of the generous conditions given by King Huiwen, as well as the concept of meritocracy, immediately attracted a lot of people, during this time, Zhao Fan and others were also the palace and the plain monarch's mansion, and met a lot of great powers.

This merit-seeking order, for Zhao Guo, in fact, attracted a lot of talents, in Zhao Fan saw these interviewers, also found a lot of people with ability, after this period of recruitment, Zhao Guo's court and bureaucracy suddenly took on a new look, supplemented by a lot of real ability of talents.

This said, Zhao Fan and Lin Xiangru came to the palace, the fire was burning in the hall, several people sat on the collapse, while drinking, chatting, at this time, Zhao Fan suddenly said: "Brother Wang, Lord Fake Appearance, you know that when the first king was reincarnated, he did a great thing, that is, Yi Hufu and Xi Cavalry Shooting, which had a great impact on my Da Zhao's military, and it was precisely because of this that he jumped to the point where he is now competing with the Qin State. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Zhao Fan to suddenly mention this, but King Huiwen was not too surprised, after all, everyone knew about this matter, he just thought that Zhao Fan suddenly thought of this, and said casually, and immediately said it

"That's right, that's true, why did Brother Wang mention this?"

Everyone also looked at Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, you should know that the Qin State can be strong and prosperous now because of the Shang Dynasty back then, who implemented the new law in the Qin State and carried it out twice. Our Great Zhao's Hufu cavalry archery, since the first implementation of the Wuling King, has not continued to implement the second time, so the younger brother suggested that in order to be able to compete with the Qin State, the second Hufu cavalry archery was implemented. ”

Hufu cavalry archery had a great impact on Zhao, making Zhao quickly become one of the most powerful countries in the world in terms of military affairs, for this, King Huiwen and others undoubtedly knew very well, but they never thought of the second implementation of Hufu cavalry archery.

After all, the implementation of the new law will have an extremely great impact on a country, and it also represents a strong obstacle.

King Huiwen's courage is completely incomparable to that of King Wuling, so he never thought of carrying out the second Hufu cavalry shooting.

Hearing him say this, King Huiwen was also a little stunned, while Lin Xiangru and others were bright-eyed and seemed to be moved, at this time, King Huiwen said: "The implementation of the new law is not a trivial matter, has Brother Wang thought about how to implement it?" ”

Zhao Fan said: "That's right, the younger brother did think of some measures, but this still needs to be discussed with Brother Wang and the ministers before making a decision, after all, the implementation of the new law has an extremely huge impact on a country." ”

For these, he had already thought of it, so he immediately said some of his thoughts, but he didn't expect that after listening to his thoughts, Lin Xiangru was immediately praised, and even King Huiwen was a little moved, but when he thought of the resistance to this matter, he hesitated a little.

"Brother Wang, why worry, this matter is completely beneficial to my Da Zhao, we can first try to show some meaning to the ministers to implement the new law, and then slowly obtain everyone's consent, and then the implementation of the new law will naturally come to fruition."

After all, for ordinary people, it still takes a certain amount of time to accept new things, not to mention that the implementation of the new law is not a trivial matter, which undoubtedly has a huge impact on every big Zhao Zimin.

At that time, King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu cavalry archery because Zhao was geographically connected to Donghu in the northeast, adjacent to the Xiongnu in the north, and bounded by Linhu and Loufu in the northwest. These tribes were nomadic herders, skilled in horseback archery, and they often invaded the Zhao border with cavalry. King Wuling, who has great ambitions to make Zhao strong, has a real understanding of the superior surname of the Hu cavalry. He believed that the modification of the army with cavalry and archery was the way to strengthen the army, so he said to the general building: Our country is surrounded by a strong enemy, what should we do? 'I want to be subdued'. The implementation of Hu Fu is convenient for riding and shooting.

Hufu is to adopt the clothing of the Hu people, that is, to wear short clothes, tie belts, use belt hooks, and wear leather boots. This is very different from the wide clothes and long sleeves of the Chinese people in the Central Plains. King Zhao Wuling's Hufu reform was very thorough, he not only had to make the army soldiers change it, but also the whole country subjects changed it, so this change of clothing innovation touched a wide range of levels.

Now Zhao Fan and others want to re-implement Hufu cavalry and shooting, and the reforms they have made are more far-reaching, so it is undoubtedly quite difficult for everyone to accept them.

"For the specific measures just now, the widow quite agrees, but there are some of them, but they don't understand what they mean......" For Zhao Fan's advanced concepts, although King Huiwen is talented, there are still some things that are still difficult to understand, and immediately, he also asked.

Immediately, Zhao Fan also introduced them as popularly as possible.

The reform made by Zhao Fan this time was mainly focused on improving the national strength, and the first reform implemented by King Wuling of Zhao had already had a profound impact on the military of Zhao, and the only weaker thing in Zhao was the national strength.

Therefore, Zhao Fan also mainly attaches importance to the content of this part.

Under Zhao Fan's detailed explanation, King Huiwen and the others also figured out most of the meaning, and immediately, they couldn't help but nod in admiration, these measures done by Zhao Fan really made them unbelievable.

They never imagined that there would be such a perfect concept and statecraft in the world.

Immediately, King Huiwen also agreed, but this matter still needs to be discussed with the ministers of Zhao State, after all, it is a major matter involving multiple levels, and it needs the support of most people.

Zhao Fan knew the impact of Hufu cavalry on Zhao State, so he was eager to implement the second reform, so that Zhao's national strength was greatly improved.

At the beginning, King Wuling promoted the Hufu cavalry shooting, not only to the Zhao State in fact, but also to the whole of China, has an important impact, he implemented a comprehensive military innovation of changing clothes, changing the military system, and innovating tactics, and finally made the cavalry, a flexible new type of troops, replace the cumbersome chariot soldiers, and the style of ancient Chinese warfare has since changed fundamentally.

In the past, many historical books praised the Shang Dynasty reform, but in fact, the significance of King Zhao Wuling's promotion of Hufu cavalry archery in military history is more important. Liang Qichao, a historian in the past life, once commented: "Among the seven heroes, the militarists are the only ones who are Qin and Zhao. …… Shang Ying, Bismarck of Qin; And the king of martial arts, Zhao Zhida Peter also. He even praised King Zhao Wuling, who was comparable to Peter the Great of Russia, as "the first great man after the Yellow Emperor".

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States period, the traditional Chinese clothing was a long robe with wide sleeves, which was not convenient for riding horses and archery. For this reason, in 307 BC, King Wuling of Zhao issued an order to change the obedience, allowing men to wear Huren-style tight-sleeved short clothes and trousers. This move has had a major impact on the traditional concept of emphasizing clothing etiquette and righteousness, and many subordinates exclaimed that this is "the teaching of the ancients, the way of the ancients, and the heart of the people".

However, King Wuling of Zhao proceeded from the needs of warfare, opposed the unchanged Fagu, and promoted the clothing reform with a strong administrative order. He also personally rode horses and bent bows and slept in the grasslands, hired Hu people who were good at riding and archery as instructors, and promoted a complete system of horse breeding, tanning, veterinarians, and forage, and soon trained 10,000 well-equipped and skilled cavalry, and the infantry and chariot soldiers of other countries and the scattered tribes in the north were no match for a while under their furious attacks.

Zhao was the first to open the trend of military reform among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and after just a dozen years, it rose from a weak state that even a small Zhongshan State dared to invade to the only powerful country that could compete with Qin. After the Zhao army destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, it suppressed Wei Qi in the south, opened up thousands of miles in the north by Sanhu, and also occupied the area of present-day northern Shaanxi, posing a direct threat to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
