For more than a thousand years, wars broke out between the major princes of Kyushu.

However, no matter what, Kyushu is still in the same vein, and if you hear that the rest of the countries are being bullied by foreign races, you will naturally feel resentful.

Three hundred years ago, the Jin State was powerful and was the strongest country in the world.

However, because of that war, Duke Wen of Jin had to divide the Jin State into three, and although he retained some national strength, the once powerful Jin State finally disappeared.

Zhao was in the northernmost part of the Jin State at that time, and when the Jin State was just beginning to split, the Zhao State was not strong.

Even, after the split, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han all believed that they were the orthodox Jin states, and the three kingdoms were hostile to each other, and wars broke out over this.

Not only that, the Huns, who were dominating the grassland, saw that Kyushu began to have civil strife and the once extremely powerful Jin Kingdom was divided, so they naturally would not give up the great opportunity to go south.

During that time, it can be said that Zhao Guo was the most difficult time.

If it weren't for the peak master of Drifting Snow Peak back then, who walked in the northern grassland with his injuries, I'm afraid that the Zhao State would have perished.

Rao is like this, Zhao still can't raise his head when facing the Xiongnu, not only cut a lot of land, but also offer a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Even, the king of Zhao at that time also learned the culture and customs of the Xiongnu people, and ordered the people to do the same.

After this incident spread, the monarchs of the rest of the countries in Kyushu were naturally furious, thinking that King Zhao had insulted the dignity of the people of Kyushu.

At that time, the king of Chu even scolded the king of Zhao in public, and claimed that if Chu was not too far away from Zhao, he would definitely go north to destroy Zhao first, and then slaughter the Xiongnu.

In the face of the abuse of the princes and scholars, as well as the doubts and incomprehension of the people, King Zhao just gritted his teeth and developed silently.

More than 100 years later, King Wuling of Zhao inherited the throne of Zhao, and he was even more brother to the Xiongnu Khan.

Even if the Huns plundered south every winter, King Wuling of Zhao turned a blind eye and deliberately transported a lot of grain to the north so that the Huns could plunder enough wealth.

Seeing that King Zhao Wuling was so knowledgeable, the Xiongnu Khan not only sold the grassland horses to King Zhao Wuling, but also specially ordered them to go down when they plundered, only to rob property and not to hurt people.

At that time, the people of Zhao dared not speak out against King Zhao, and many hot-blooded young people even went to assassinate King Zhao.

But the people who assassinated King Zhao all disappeared, but King Zhao was still alive and well.

Just when everyone thought that sooner or later the Zhao State would be destroyed at the hands of King Zhao Wuling, and even the Yan State was preparing to attack the Zhao State.

King Zhao Wuling did something that shocked the world.

In the winter of that year, the weather in the northern grasslands was very cold, and the Huns were also very short of food, so they prepared to go south to plunder Zhao as they had done in the previous year.

The Huns all knew that the monarch of Zhao did not have the slightest backbone, and the Xiongnu warriors who went south to plunder not only did not have any danger, but would return with a full load.

In addition, the Huns were really short of food in the winter of that year, so the Xiongnu Khan directly sent 150,000 elite horsemen to the south to plunder, and almost all the troops of the Xiongnu were dispatched.

As for the Xiongnu headquarters, only some old, weak, sick and disabled remained.

At that time, the Xiongnu were too powerful, and the nomads on the steppe did not dare to compete with them at all, and the neighbor Zhao was also a weak sheep.

Therefore, the Xiongnu Khan was not worried about the safety of the royal court at all.

However, when 150,000 Xiongnu elite horsemen entered the country of Zhao to prepare for plunder, they found that there was no inexhaustible grain here.

The entire northern part of Zhao was almost empty, and the people all disappeared without a trace, leaving only empty houses.

The Huns were not reconciled, and once again went south to plunder the hinterland of Zhao.

However, this time the Xiongnu were greeted not by inexhaustible wealth, but by 30,000 well-armed foot soldiers and incomparably strong fortifications.

It was only at this time that the commander of the Huns was convinced that he and the others had been tricked by King Zhao Wuling, and he was naturally furious.

If it were normal, the Huns would have been running long distances and did not carry excess grain and grass, and they would definitely withdraw their troops first when they encountered such a strong fortification.

However, King Wuling of Zhao stood under the banner and pointed to the nose of the commander of the Huns and shouted: "From now on, if I want to remind the Huns of the word Zhao, I will feel fear from my heart." ”

"And this is the place where your bones are buried!"

When the Xiongnu commander heard this, he was immediately furious, and the 150,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry were also furious, shouting to slaughter the 30,000 Zhao troops.

The commander of the Xiongnu remembered that King Wuling of Zhao was weak and bullying before, and compared the strength of the two sides, and felt that it should not be a problem to overcome the defense of Zhao.

Then, a tragic offensive and defensive battle broke out.

The Huns abandoned their own good cavalry warfare, dismounted and began to attack the fortifications of Zhao, and fought for seven consecutive days, and the fortifications of Zhao's were already crumbling.

Of the 30,000 well-equipped Zhao State foot soldiers, there are less than 3,000 left.

As for the Huns, they also paid a heavy price, and the Huns even slaughtered war horses as rations because of lack of food.

Because the commander of the Xiongnu felt that with the remnants of less than 3,000 remnants of the Zhao State, he would not be able to support it for long.

As long as this line of defense can be captured, the Huns of the entire Zhao State can arbitrarily claim the property of the Huns.

However, just when the Zhao defense line was about to collapse, the Xiongnu commander got the news that 20,000 Zhao cavalry rushed to the outside of the fortress and directly entered the Xiongnu royal court.

Xiongnu Khan, beheaded by the general of Zhao.

After the news spread, more than 100,000 Hun cavalry immediately panicked, and many people thought of retreating.

Even the commander of the Huns had no way to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, 30,000 Zhao cavalry suddenly appeared and rushed into the formation of the Huns.

The Huns had been short of food for a long time, and many Hun cavalry had lost their horses, coupled with the instability of the army, the Huns were immediately defeated.

In the battle, the Xiongnu commander was killed, more than 50,000 Huns were killed in the battle, and more than 70,000 people were captured and surrendered, and more than 70,000 Hun soldiers were killed.

King Wuling of Zhao still did not give up, and personally led his troops to the north, not only regaining the land occupied by the Xiongnu that year, but also slaughtering many Xiongnu tribes.

For months on end, the grasslands were filled with shouts of slaughter, and smoke billowed from the ruined tribes.

After this battle, the world was shocked.

Yan, who was about to attack the territory of Zhao, hurriedly summoned his army back and sent an envoy to Zhao, asking for an alliance between the two sides forever.

As for the king of Chu in the south, after hearing the news, he laughed in front of the military generals of Wenchen, wrote a letter of state with his own hands, and then sent someone to send it to Zhao.

There are only eight words on the national letter: The Heavenly Empire is not allowed to be bullied!

As for the 30,000 cavalry who defeated the 100,000 Xiongnu army, and the 20,000 elite cavalry who attacked the Xiongnu royal court, they have been given the title of 'wolf cavalry' since then.

There is a rumor in the world: if the wolf rider is there, then the Zhao country will not be destroyed, and foreign races will not dare to attack!
