The contemporary King of Zhao is the famous Zhao Wuling King Zhao Yong in the history books of later generations!

This King Zhao is quite legendary!

Zhao was originally just a small country that was poor and weak, and it was only by raising the people's style and martial arts that it barely survived in the troubled times...... After the accession to the throne of King Wuling of Zhao, he vigorously promoted the military reform called 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting' to develop the national military strength.

Repeated foreign wars doubled the territory of Zhao; Internally, it integrated national strength and weakened the aristocracy, which greatly strengthened Zhao's organizational ability at the grassroots level and its overall war potential.

In the north, the Linhu, Lou Fu and other tribes were co-opted; In the south, it swallowed up the Zhongshan Kingdom.

The incorporated Hu army was a cavalry unit with strong combat strength - with this powerful servant army, Zhao State became a formidable existence in the middle and late Warring States period that was not inferior to Qin in terms of military strength.

Many historians recognize that Zhao Yongnai is the originator of the large-scale use of cavalry groups in Chinese history.

Before Zhao Yong, of course, Qin Yan and other countries also had formed cavalry units, but these cavalry units basically fought together with synchronized soldiers and chariots, and rarely carried out large-scale battles alone.

And Zhao Yong was the first to give full play to the cavalry's mobility and impact ability!

What's even more legendary is that this King Zhao went to the front line in every battle, and even personally led his troops to kill...... Whether it is to subdue the Hu tribe or to swallow up the Zhongshan Kingdom, this King Zhao is the commander himself!

The king of the horse for life!

In just one generation, Zhao Guo became amazingly powerful in the hands of Zhao Yong!

Don't look at the current Zhao Guo is still very low-key, inconspicuous...... But Xiong Wu's conscience knew that Zhao Guo was already a behemoth at this time. In terms of military strength alone, it is not inferior to the Chu State that is in a hurry to roar and hegemon, and even surpasses it!

Such a legendary king, how could Xiong Wuliang not yearn for it?

After a short period of thought, the red banner of Zhao State had already appeared in the distance...... Xiong Wuliang gasped - it came so fast!

From a distance, Zhao Guo's team was almost all riders...... When I got closer, I saw that quite a few of them were bearded riders with strange hairstyles.

Xiong Wuliang looked at it, but he couldn't tell which was King Zhao at the first time - it wasn't until a man on horseback greeted Xiong Wuliang that he reacted.

This didn't come by car, but by horse!

Xiong Wuliang bowed his hand and greeted: "Foreign Minister Mi Liang, on behalf of the King of Chu, greets the King of Zhao." ”

Zhao Yong was dressed in a narrow-sleeved bearded suit, his face was dark, and he looked quite thin at first glance, but if he looked closely, he could see that there were explosive muscles under the clothes. He had an iron scimitar at his waist, and sat on his horse with the same grace as all the Hu riders around him.

If ordinary people look at it, they will only think that this is a Hu rider, or a soldier who has been fighting for many years...... I didn't expect it to be the monarch of Zhao at all.

Zhao Yong smiled proudly, and his free and easy appearance was quite kind: "It's Quyang Hou...... Sure enough, it's a young hero! ”

"The prestige of the Marquis of Quyang, even I, a veteran of the Northland, have heard of it, ahahaha...... If he can come to Zhao Country as a guest in the future, Zhao Yong will definitely treat him wholeheartedly, and he will definitely make Quyang Hou feel at home! ”

Zhao Yong looks rough and arrogant, but he talks and laughs with a sincere and respectful look...... The iron-blooded temperament of the battlefield and the grace of noble birth are perfectly combined, and a strong personal charm comes to the face.

Xiong Wuliang sincerely admired: "King Zhao is really good...... demeanor"

Zhao Yong laughed: "They are all barbaric soldiers, what kind of demeanor do they have?" The world says that the Chu people are 'Southern Barbarians', so I, Zhao Yongke, am outright 'Northern Barbarians'...... Do you say yes or no? ”

A laughing conversation not only narrowed the distance between him and Xiong Wuliang, but also caused a group of Hu generals on Zhao Yong's side to laugh roughly: "The king is mighty grassland, and he is barbaric!" With 200,000 cavalry in hand, who would dare to disrespect the 'Northern Barbarians'? ”

Xiong Wuliang also smiled and made an invitation: "Please King Zhao enter the Cloud Palace first, and my king will arrive later." ”

Zhao Yong raised his head and laughed, arched his hand at Xiong Wuliang, and then also under the leadership of the Chu Army's honor guard forbidden army, he rode away in the direction of the Cloud Palace.

……

The monarchs of the five countries who came to the meeting have already reached four, but only the Yan country has not been there for a long time.

It wasn't until the sunset that the position of Yan Wang Ji was late.

This King of Yan Zhao is also a Ming monarch - the Yan Kingdom defeated the strong with the weak, and the whale swallowed the Qi Kingdom, and now it has developed to the extreme.

Xiong Wuliang had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and patiently greeted King Yan: "Foreign Minister Mi Liang, meet King Yan." ”

"Please ask King Yan to go to the Cloud Palace, and my king will arrive later."

Yan Wang Ji looked reserved, and sat on an old copper chariot - in terms of regulations, it was similar to the bronze chariot under Xiong Wuliang's buttocks.

You can see it at a glance - it is also a product of Zhou Tianzi's workshop.

Ji Zhi nodded very reservedly at Xiong Wuliang: "This is the Marquis of Quyang of Chu State, who has admired the name for a long time." ”

Xiong Wuliang frowned slightly-although Ji Zhi's attitude was very polite, Xiong Wuliang still keenly felt a trace of indifference and alienation in the latter's tone.

This estrangement made Xiong Wuliang very uncomfortable!

Yan Guo believes that he is a descendant of the surname Ji, and has always considered himself to be of noble blood...... And the state of Chu, of course, is a southern barbarian.

Yan and Chu have not bordered each other for a long time, and the diplomacy between the two countries is close to nothing - it has always been maintained in a state where well water does not interfere with river water. It was not until the Yan State swallowed the land of the Qi State and bordered the Chu State that the two countries began to strengthen their contact and ties.

Anyway, the Yan people's contempt for the Chu people is engraved in their bones.

The Yan King Ji Zhi in front of him is of course a generation of Ming Jun - when Ji Zhi ascended the throne, the Yan State had just experienced a civil war and had just been invaded by the Qi State...... At that time, Jicheng was full of devastation.

Ji Zhi worked hard and sincerely respected the virtuous, and contributed a series of allusions to Chinese history, such as "Golden Stage" and "Thousands of Gold Buying Bones", and received the assistance of Ju Xin, Le Yi and others. Finally, the monarch and ministers worked together to revitalize the Yan Kingdom, and a wave of five-nation coalition forces defeated the Foolish Qi State and successfully achieved revenge.

But even if he is Mingjun...... The contempt for the Chu State in his bones will not change in the slightest!

This guy may be very respectful to the cloth cloth...... But for the ministers and nobles of Chu State, although they don't say it, they are also disgusted in their hearts.

The reason for this is that in addition to the fact that the Yan State is proud of its noble blood, and the Chu State is a Southern Barbarian...... Several of the ancestors of the Chu State challenged the authority of the Zhou royal family one after another, which also disgusted the Yan State.

For example, Xiong Tong, the first king of Chu Wu who openly usurped the throne, and the overlord King Chu Zhuang who asked the Zhou people 'how much Jiuding weighs'...... They are all examples of rudeness.

The Yan royal family and the Zhou royal family are both descendants of the surname Ji, and they are naturally close to each other in their blood...... The state of Chu was extremely rude to the Zhou royal family, and the people of the Yan country certainly did not have a good impression of the people of Chu.

Of course, Xiong Wuliang didn't have a habit of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, and seeing that King Yan Zhao's attitude was lukewarm, he immediately became cold, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Please enter the Cloud Palace." ”

At this moment, a person stood behind King Yan......
