However, due to the lack of three cavalry treasures, namely the bilateral stirrup, the horseshoe fall, and the Takahashi saddle, the combat effectiveness of the light archers of the Great Qin Empire and other Central Plains countries could only rely on their own strength as a benchmark for performance. And there is no doubt that in many cases, whether it is the Zhao State, the Yan State, the Qin State or the Great Qin Empire, the combat effectiveness of these lightly armed archers is difficult to compare with the nomads in the north on the whole. Otherwise, Meng Tian would not have used infantry troops and crossbow formations as his own to resist the onslaught of the Huns like a sea tide in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, and finally won the final victory. There is no doubt that the lightly armed cavalry of the Qin army during the Mengtian period still lacked a type of force as a major shock force. The relevant records in the Battle of Changping are a bit nonsense, that is, the knight troops sent by Bai Qi were more likely to harass the transport troops of Zhao in turn, rather than really blocking the road. Of course, when Bai Qi recalled such a situation, he said something that surprised Zhang Jiashi. ...... One: This transport force of the Zhao army did not set off from Handan, but from a warehouse where Lian Po originally stored grain. Two: Although the escort force of these transport units seems to be quite numerous, their combat effectiveness or will to fight is relatively poor. Although some of the knights of the Qin army at that time were relatively proficient in cavalry and shooting skills, there was no doubt that if this Zhao army transport force could exert its corresponding strength, five thousand knights would not be enough to resist the passage of this Zhao army transport force to the besieged area of Zhao Kuo. Three: After the defeat of this convoy, it did not transport a large amount of grain, but a large amount of sand spread with a layer of wheat on the surface. It can be seen that the shortage of food in the Zhao army has become an indisputable fact. And Zhao Kuo's initiative was not brave or strategic, but whether it was Zhao Jun or Zhao Guo, they could no longer persist in the supply of grain. So. At that time, his five thousand knights' so-called severance of the Zhao army's food route became the decisive key, and it was more of a kind of nonsense. Because when the Zhao army had to fight without food, the defeat of the Zhao army had already been decided. Even if Zhao Kuo uses the power of heaven, I am afraid that he will not be able to reverse this extremely unfavorable situation. Zhang Jiashi, who heard these things, couldn't help but think of another situation, that is, did Zhao Hao have a bad evaluation of Zhao Kuo? After Bai Qi heard Zhang Jiashi's thoughts at that time, he was silent for a while before saying, "According to what I know about Zhao Hao. He is not such an arbitrary person. Zhao Kuo's ability was valued by Le Yi long ago when Zhao Hao visited Le Yi. "Speaking of which, it is white. After a pause, he continued: "Zhao Hao's character and character have a resolute side, and he is not the kind of vain person. However, in the other party's use of troops, there is a kind of thinking that does everything to the extreme. "On the battlefield, such an opponent is quite difficult to deal with. At that time, Hu was injured because of Zhao Hao's plan to die, and then the whole army was wiped out. Although Hu Shuqi is also quite capable among the guest secretaries, and his tactical ability is even above Wang Ling, his character is a little careless, and although he thinks about some things and is even cautious, it is easy to ignore some of the more useless. But it's actually very important information. Bai Qi said that the tone here was a little sad, because his relationship with Hu Xiang at that time was also good, after hearing the news of Hu Sheng's death, Bai Qi could only ask the then King Qin Zhaoxiang to spare one of his very young children. After all, in the Qin State, such a defeat of the entire army, even if Hu was injured and died, the fate of his family would not be good. At this time, Zhang Jiashi thought of the relevant records about Hu Injury. The main historical records of his people are the Battle of Huayang in 273 BC and the Battle of Yan in 270 BC: the relevant record of the Battle of Huayang is: in the 42nd year of the reign of King Zhou (273 BC), the Qin generals Bai Qi and Hu Yang jointly commanded a long-distance campaign to defeat the combined forces of Zhao and Wei in Huayang (present-day Xinzhengbei, Henan). In the past forty years, the Zhao army and the Wei army jointly attacked Korea and besieged Huayang, an important Korean city. Korea asked for help from Qin, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin ordered Wu Anjun Bai Qi and Keqing Hu Yang to lead an army to rescue Han. The coalition forces and the Korean army were stuck in Huayang, which was far away from Qin. Wei and Zhao estimated that the Qin army would not arrive in the short term, so they neglected to take precautions. Bai Qi adopted the policy of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. The army set out from Xianyang, marched an average of 100 miles a day to carry out a long-distance attack, and arrived at the city of Huayang in only 8 days. Immediately launched an attack on the Wei army, annihilating 130,000 Wei troops in one fell swoop, capturing 3 Wei generals, and Mang Mao, the prime minister of Wei, was defeated and fled; After a fierce battle, the Zhao army was defeated, and 20,000 Zhao soldiers were drowned, and then the victory went straight to the Wei capital Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan). Most of the main forces of the Wei army were annihilated, unable to fight again, and ceded Nanyang (the area south of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Yellow River) to sue for peace with Qin. When Qin heard that Yan and Zhao jointly raised troops to rescue Wei, they accepted the retreat of Wei in Nanyang. In the same year, also before the Battle of Huayang, Hu Yang himself led his army to capture the three cities of Juan, Caiyang, and Changzao of Wei. The relevant record of the battle of Yan and Yan is: in the forty-sixth year of King Qin Zhao (270 BC), King Qin Zhaoxiang used Zhao as the reason for not fulfilling the agreement. Sent more Hu Yang to lead a large army to attack Zhao Yanhe. King Zhao Huiwen urgently summoned the famous generals Lian Po and Le Cheng to ask if they could be saved. Both of them believed that it was far away from Handan, and the road was rugged and difficult, making it difficult to rescue. Only Zhao Hao believes that when the two armies meet, the brave wins. So, King Zhao Huiwen ordered Zhao Hao to lead the army to rescue Yan He. Zhao Hao's army built a fort and camped 30 miles out of Handan, and did not move. In order to conceal the battle attempt, the herald ordered the army: "Anyone who dares to talk about military affairs will be beheaded." The first part of the Qin army entered the west of Tun Wu'an, beating drums and shouting, trying to lure the Zhao army to rescue Wu'an and clamp down on the Zhao army. Zhao Haoli beheaded a soldier who asked for the rescue of Wu'an, but was unmoved by the Qin army. Stationed in Tuntun for 28 days, he continued to strengthen the defense of the camp, causing the Zhao army to be cowardly, only to protect the illusion of Handan. Qin sent spies to infiltrate the Zhao camp to find out what was true. Zhao Hao pretended not to know, and ordered his subordinates to let him move at will and release him to the Qin camp to paralyze the Qin army. The Qin spy reported the situation of Zhao Jun to Hu Yang. Hu Yang was overjoyed, thinking that he could be captured with Yan, and relaxed his vigilance against Zhao's reinforcements. Zhao Hao then led the whole army to die down and galloped for two days and one night. They rushed to a distance of 50 miles from the city and set up camp. The Qin army attacked and did not conquer, and suddenly heard that Zhao reinforcements had arrived. Hastily divided the troops to meet the attack. Zhao Hao adopted the suggestion of the sergeant Xu Li and sent 10,000 troops to seize the heights of Yan and Beishan. When the Qin army arrived, they could not attack the mountain. Zhao Hao took advantage of the situation, condescendingly, and slammed the Qin army. Yan and the defenders also went out of the city to cooperate. The Qin army was not supported, more than half of the dead and wounded escaped, and returned defeated, and the Yan surrounded and relieved. Zhao Hao was named Ma Fujun for his merits. ...... Thinking of these records, Zhang Jiashi suddenly remembered a question, that is, what kind of situation should the Qin army in the Wu'an area where Zhao Hao was originally stationed at that time. After all, Zhang Jiashi found a very serious problem. That is, from the Wu'an area to the departure of the Yanhe, it is indeed not a very long distance, two days and one night of cavalry and chariot troop transfer, can indeed mobilize these troops to rush to the Yanhe...... However, the place of Wu'an is a fortress less than fifty miles west of Handan, and the Zhao State has not lost control of this place, and it is recorded in the historical records. It is clear that something went wrong. Zhang Jiashi said his thoughts, and what he got was two corrections from Bai Qi: the first point was that Zhao Hao's death room was actually sent out early in the morning, and after completing this, Zhao Hao then led the army from the military camp in the Handan area to lead the army. Second, Wu'an was not under the control of the Qin army. His title of Wu Anjun is not based on the name of the place, but with an honorary title. Zhang Jiashi only remembered one thing at this time, that is, there are two main kinds of titles in ancient times, one is based on place names, and the other is based on more honorary titles similar to Wu'an, Wumu and so on. For example, Wu'an. The meaning of its title is: Wu'an, who rules the world with martial arts and has a reputation for prestige and security. The earliest came out of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the people who were able to defeat the enemy in all dynasties were called "Wu'an". "Jun" is a new title for Dr. Qing. The successive dynasties and dynasties were able to defeat the enemy with the name "Wu'an", and the same was true of Wu'anjun, and the feudal monarchy that prevailed during the Warring States Period was the continuation of the feudal doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Jun" is a new title for Dr. Qing. "Etiquette and Mourning Clothes" says: "Jun, the Supreme also. Zheng Xuan's note: "The Son of Heaven, the princes, the kings, and the doctors who have land are all called kings." Tang Jia Gongyan said again: "If you have land, you will have ministers." Here are two conditions for the title of king, one is the possession of land, and the other is the possession of courtiers. In some historical books, the description of Wu'an refers to Wu'an, which is obviously a mistake. At this time, Bai Qi said a question a little narrowly: "Do you think that Ma Fuzi was killed by King Zhao after the defeat?" Zhang Jiashi, who heard such a question, didn't pay attention to it at first, but hummed softly. And Bai Qi shook his head helplessly: "Zhao Guo did not punish the nine clans, Ma Fuzi's family is indeed dead, but only the three clans died." Hearing Bai Qi's words, Zhang Jiashi remembered that he was indeed wrong about such a question: ...... "Nine Clans" refers to relatives in general. However, the "nine tribes" refer to different theories. One says that it is from the great-grandfather to the great-great-grandson, that is, the great-grandson, great-grandson, grandson, son, body, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather; the other is the fourth father's family, the third mother's family, and the second wife's family, and the fourth father's family refers to the aunt's son (aunt's child), sister's son (nephew), daughter's son (grandson), and one's own kindred (parents, brothers, sisters, children); the third maternal family refers to the mother's father (maternal grandfather), mother's mother (maternal grandmother), and slave mother and son (maternal uncle); and the second wife's family refers to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. In ancient times, the extermination family was divided into several periods of evolution: in the period of the rise of the Lianzaita method, the three clans were mainly killed, and these three clans generally referred to parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, and other direct relatives who were related by blood. The five tribes that arose in the Sui Dynasty referred to parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters, and grandfathers and grandchildren. The nine clans are mainly the second expression: the son of the aunt (the child of the aunt), the son of the sister (nephew), the son of the daughter (the grandson), and the same clan (parents, brothers, sisters, children); the third maternal clan refers to the father of the mother (maternal grandfather), the mother of the mother (maternal grandmother), and the mother and son (maternal uncle), and the second maternal family refers to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. The punishment of the Ten Tribes was the most widely implicated punishment in ancient China, but only one person tried such a situation: Fang Xiaoru was known as the first great Confucian in the early Ming Dynasty, and was an important minister who assisted Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson Emperor Jianwen, and the Taoli Manchu court (in fact, it was a large faction). After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, defeated Jinling, the first person to be subdued was Fang Xiaoru, but this old master was arrogant, and the two times he saw the new emperor was wearing linen and wearing filial piety, howling and crying, Zhu Di asked him to draft an edict on his behalf (forcing him to express his position), he only wrote the four big words "Yan thief usurped the throne". Zhu Di asked him: "Aren't you afraid of death?" Fang Xiaoru replied: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and the edict cannot be grassed." Zhu Di: "Don't you take care of your nine clans?" Fang Xiaoru: "Don't talk about the nine clans, don't be afraid of the ten clans." This time, the emperor became angry, and in addition to Fang Xiaoru's nine clans, plus the "protégés" made up ten clans, and killed them all. It can be seen that after Zhao Kuo's defeat, King Zhao Xiaowen killed mainly Zhao Kuo's mother, brothers and sisters, as well as his wife and children. Otherwise, as the first Wu'an Hou (this is a place name title) Zhao Xing, as Zhao Kuo's nephew, would not have lived to the chaotic times at the end of Qin. Of course, the demarcation between Zhao Xing and Zhao Kuo is mainly because his father, that is, Zhao Kuo's younger brother Zhao Mu was implicated in the death: Zhao Mu, the son of Zhao Hao, the horse of Zhao during the Warring States Period, was also a Zhao general, and in 222 BC, Qin destroyed Zhao and moved Zhao Xing, the son of Zhao Mu, to Xianyang, Shaanxi. After Xiang Yu broke through Xianyang, in order to commemorate his grandfather's military exploits, he took Zhao Hao's title as the surname "Ma Fu", and later changed his surname to Ma. Wu'an Hou Ma Xing is also regarded as the ancestor of the Ma family. It can be seen that when Zhao Xing was still a weak crown, his father was implicated and executed, in this case, his resentment of Zhao Kuo in his heart is naturally not something out of nowhere. In this way, the people killed by King Zhao Xiaocheng were Zhao Kuo's three clans, but they did not include Zhao Xing's nephew. But for Ma Sikuo and Zhao Gao, two half-brothers, Zhao Xing's existence is just a relative. Ma Sikuo did not look for relatives he had never met, but for Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng's brothers, the arrangement of Zhao Xing being moved to Xianyang, if nothing else, was what they arranged. After all, after Zhao Kuo's death, the title of Ma Fujun was also withdrawn by King Zhao Xiaocheng.
