Han Yu wrote in the first sentence of the opening chapter of "Sending Dong Shao Nan Preface": "Yan Zhao Gu is called a man who laments many sorrows." Yuanyuan believed that the land of Yan Zhao was not only a heroic warrior, but also a rich military general, especially the Zhao Kingdom. Among the many famous generals of the Zhao Kingdom, I especially admire Zhao Luxury. There are four reasons: First, Zhao Hao has courage and strategy; second, Zhao Hao has a very high military theoretical attainment; third, Zhao Hao is an upright official and is not afraid of the powerful; fourth, Zhao Hao can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and has a view of the overall situation. If you can have these four points, Zhao Guo's famous generals can't find the second one, even if it is Lian Po and Li Muye, yuanyuan will argue in detail later. However, Zhao Hao's military fate in the Zhao state was very strange, and it had been abandoned since the Battle of Fu and the Qin army was crowned as a horse servant by the King of Zhao. Even if later the King of Zhao preferred to cede fifty-seven cities to the State of Qi in exchange for Tian Dan to lead troops to fight the State of Yan for the State of Zhao, he did not give Zhao The opportunity to bring troops to cut down Yan. Zhao Hao bitterly advised PingYuanjun that he hoped to serve the country, but the result was still a nose of ash. What is the reason for the generation of famous generals Zhao Hao to die of old age, please listen to Yuanyuan's eloquent words.

Zhao Hao, although surnamed Zhao, was not a nobleman of the State of Zhao, and was initially only a petty official of the State of Zhao who levied land rent. However, Zhao Hao did not improperly treat the "Tianbu officials" as cadres, but worked diligently until he was on the shelf with the Noble King of the Zhao State, Wang Pingyuanjun. Why did it go to the shelves? Because the Pingyuan Jun's power did not pay taxes according to the regulations, Zhao Hao successively killed the nine responsible persons of the Pingyuan Jun's tax management. Pingyuan Jun was also ready to kill Zhao Hao to earn back face, and it depended on the owner to beat the dog, and you let Zhao Sheng put his face where to put it later. However, this matter was finally a happy ending, because Zhao Hao dayi made an impassioned speech to Ping Yuanjun, and PingYuanjun was not a person who was completely unreasonable, and he figured it out at once, and then the two shook hands and made peace, and did not fight or make a deal. Afterwards, PingYuanjun calmly thought about it, believing that Zhao Hao was an upright official in the handling of this matter, not afraid of the powerful, and must be a virtuous person, so he recommended it to King Huiwen of Zhao. King Huiwen of Zhao appointed Zhao Hao to manage the tax work of the whole country, and as a result, Zhao Hao did a very brilliant job, not only making the national tax fair and reasonable, but also making the people rich and the national treasury full. In terms of economic management work, Zhao Hao obviously has more comprehensive qualities than Lian Po and Li Mu.
The days of peace during the Warring States period were always short-lived, and the qin war against Korea broke out. The Qin garrison was in Fuhe, and the Koreans sent people to ask for help from the Zhao state, and King Huiwen of Zhao convened an emergency military meeting to ask the generals for their opinions on whether to send troops to rescue them. First ask Lian Po, Lian Po said that fu and not only the road is far away but also the place is narrow, can not use troops, so do not approve of rescue. King Zhao asked another famous general, Le Cheng, and Le Cheng's answer was the same as Lian Po's answer. Then King Zhao asked Zhao Hao again, wait, why did he let Zhao Hao participate in such a major military meeting, and King Zhao also asked for his opinion? Isn't Zhao Haozai able to manage tax economic work all the time? How can a major military and national affair be so dramatic! Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the land of death and life, the way of survival, how can you ask the layman! Don't worry, in fact, Zhao Hao has already changed careers to become a soldier. Although there is no description of Zhao Hao's change of career in the "History of Lian Po Lin Xiang Li Biography", it is clearly recorded in the "History of Zhao Shijia": "In the nineteenth year, Qin took my second city. Zhao and Wei Boyang. Zhao Hao will attack Qi MaiQiu and take it. It turned out that Zhao Hao had already served as a military commander to lead troops to fight against the State of Qi as early as the nineteenth year of King Huiwen of Zhao, and successfully took the city of Qi, Maiqiu. How Zhao Hao's military talents were discovered by King Zhao Huiwen ignored them for the time being, we just remembered one sentence: "It is gold, it will always shine!" "We still continue to go back to King Zhao and ask Zhao Hao if he can rescue South Korea." Zhao Hao said a sentence that Li Yunlong said in "Bright Sword": "The narrow road meets the brave and the victorious, but it can be saved!" King Zhao was very pleased and asked Zhao To lead a large army to rescue Korea. Don't think that Zhao Hao only has a heart of blood and courage, if this is the case, Zhao Hao will not quickly become the person in charge of the national taxation from a grass-roots "field official", let alone successfully transform from an economic talent to a military commander-in-chief who leads troops to fight. We can't underestimate Zhao Hao, but the Qin state despises it. Under Zhao Hao's strategy of coaxing and deceiving and deceiving, the Qin army was played around by Zhao Hao, and finally defeated by Zhao Hao at Fuhe, and saw the power of Zhao Guo's "Hufu Riding and Shooting"! Don't think that qin guo led the troops this time is not bai qi but Hu Wound, just think that Hu Wound is a mediocre talent. The "History of Qin Benji" clearly and unambiguously records the achievements of a Hu injury: "Thirty-three years, Keqing Hu attacked Wei Scroll, Cai Yang, and Changshe, and took it. Strike Man Wu Hua Yang, break it, and behead 150,000 people. Wei entered Nanyang to make peace. It can be seen that the commander of the Qin Army of the Tiger and Wolf Division that Zhao Hao faced was not a soft persimmon, let alone a good man and a good woman, but a meat grinder that would behead 150,000 people in a war. The victory in the battle between Fu and Fu was not easy, not Zhao Hao had courage and strategy, and it was especially unknown whose hand the deer died! Therefore, after this battle, Zhao Hao was crowned as Ma Fujun by king Zhao, and he was in the same position as Lian Po and Lin Xiang!
The description of Zhao Hao through different articles in the "History" seems to make us feel that Zhao Hao is a practical combat faction with military talent, but in fact, it is not. Zhao Hao should have been familiar with military books since childhood and proficient in military theory. In the article "Thirty Years of King Zhao Huiwen of the Warring States Policy", there is a debate between Zhao Hao and Tian Dan on military theory, and the debate theme is somewhat similar to "Han Xin leads the army, the more the merrier" is the performance of a good commander? Tian Shan insisted that a good commander should lead 30,000 troops to attack the city and pull out the land, while Zhao Hao insisted that the more the merrier. In the end, Tian Shan was said by Zhao Hao, and praised Zhao Hao: "Single is not to the same" My Tian Shan is not as good as you! Who is Tian Dan? It is the great hero who restores the entire country of Qi with a herd of cattle! Zhao Hao was able to convince Tian Shan that he could not do without a high-level military theory. Regarding this dispute over military theory, everyone is interested in reading the original text, and Yuanyuan is guaranteed to be very exciting!

Why did a military commander like Zhao Hao, who was upright as an official, who was not afraid of the powerful, who had courage and strategy, who had high-level military theories, and who had the experience of fighting big battles and winning battles, never appeared on the historical stage of the Warring States military after the war? There is no account in the "Records of History", because the deeds of Zhao Hao after the war between Fu and Zhao Hou never appeared in the "Records of History", until his son Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo was mentioned in passing. However, in the article "Warring States Policy, Yan Feng Song Ren Rong Li as Gao Yang Jun", zhao hao's fate was explained sideways. The main content of this article is to talk about the intensification of contradictions between Yan and Zhao, and the Zhao state is ready to go to war with the Yan state. King Xiaocheng of Zhao prepared to cede fifty-seven cities to the State of Qi in exchange for the Great Niu Tiandan of the State of Qi to command the army of the State of Yan on behalf of the State of Zhao. Please note that the King of Zhao here is King Xiaocheng of Zhao, and King Huiwen of Zhao, who had originally appointed Zhao Hao to command the battle against Fu, has already died, and his son has appeared in ink. Zhao Hao was still alive at the time, and after learning of King Zhao's decision to exchange the city for a single field, he went to the Pingyuan Jun's office for advice. Zhao Hao first made a wonderful analysis of the disadvantages of using Tian Dan, and at the same time volunteered to take on the responsibility of cutting Yan. In order to persuade Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Hao even said some things about his youth in the Yan Kingdom, indicating that he was very familiar with the terrain of the Yan Pass. But even when it comes to this, Pingyuan Jun only replied faintly: "The general is released, and the servant has said that the servant is the master." The servant is fortunate to listen to the servant. The general was speechless. "The gist is to let Zhao Hao die this heart, he has already made a suggestion to king Zhao to cut the city and change the land for a single order, and king Zhao has already adopted it." I really want to know how big the shadow area in the heart of the brave and loyal Old General Zhao when he heard Ping Yuanjun's reply! In the end, Zhao Guo used Tian Dan, and there is also a corresponding record in the "History of Zhao Shijia": "Qi'an Pingjun Tian Shan attacked Zhao Zhongyang and pulled him out." He also attacked the Han people and pulled them out. Two years later, Huiwen died. Tian Shan is a phase. However, the results of Tian Dan did not jump out of Zhao Hao's initial analysis, and it took several years, suffering the people and warriors, and finally capturing the three small cities of the Yan Kingdom at the cost of fifty-seven cities. This incident fully shows that the mathematical abilities of Zhao Xiaocheng Wang and Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, were taught by the physical education teachers of the Zhao court. I mentioned earlier that Zhao Hao can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, has a big picture view, and this is also fully reflected in this matter. After Zhao Hao was poured a basin of cold water by Pingyuan Jun, how uncomfortable Zhao Hao felt in his heart, I think everyone can stand in his position and feel it, it will definitely be uncomfortable. But Zhao Haogui was very calm, sensible, did not stalk and provoke fire, nor did he privately retaliate against others or carry out private fights to add chaos to the country and let other countries see jokes. Therefore, Zhao Hao spent his old age silently, quietly, and melancholy, bringing regret and blood into the coffin. However, Lian Po and Li Mu could not reach the ideological realm of Zhao Hao. After the death of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, his son King Xiang of Zhao succeeded to the throne. King Xiang listened to the rumors of the traitorous minister Guo Kai, dismissed Lianpo from his military post, and sent Le to replace Lianpo. Lian Po was enraged by the exclusion and attacked Le Cheng, who fled, and Lian Po could only flee the Zhao state and defect to the Wei state. Lian Po's anger caused Zhao Guo to lose two famous generals, and it also caused turmoil in the army, benefiting other countries and also letting other countries see the joke. After Li Mu was also separated, king Zhao sent Zhao Onion and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu. At that time, it was only a replacement, not to the point of killing Li Mu. If Li Mu understands the overall situation, understands humiliation, and preserves his useful body, he will not rule out a comeback. However, Li Mu disobeyed the order and did not surrender power, and as a result, he was secretly arrested and executed by king Zhao, and the last Great Wall of the Zhao Kingdom fell violently! Judging from the above points of courage and strategy, high military theoretical attainment, uprightness as an official, not afraid of the powerful, able to endure humiliation and burdens, and having a view of the overall situation, zhao guo's famous generals are all in line with Zhao Hao!
Four
Yuanyuan has always felt sorry and injustice for the old general Zhao, and carefully considers that the old general Fu of Zhao was abandoned after the war with him for the following two reasons: (1) Zhao Had the luxury of getting the time but not being able to master it. The Warring States period itself was a big stage that could show military talent, and Zhao Hao had a good historical opportunity. But from the "Tianbu official" to the national tax administration, to the transformation of the army to attack the State of Qi and finally to the most brilliant "Battle of Fuhe" in his life, it was all in the era of King Huiwen of Zhao. In the era of King Huiwen of Zhao, Wen had the similarity of Lin, the martial arts had incorruptible, there was the legend of returning to Zhao after the completion of the Bibi, and there was also the hardness of the meeting of the pond. But by the time of his son Zhao Xiaocheng, the son was not as good as his father, and the resources accumulated by his ancestors had become a yellow flower in his hands. The Zhao Kingdom from King Wuling of Zhao to King Huiwen of Zhao to King Xiaocheng of Zhao is not as good as one, and King Wuling of Zhao can create reforms and lead the State of Zhao to a small climax. King Huiwen of Zhao was not as enterprising as his father in terms of pioneering and enterprising, but he could use people to recognize people, and he could also be regarded as a mingjun. But in the era of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, in addition to fighting a long-term battle with the Qin State for the sake of greed for Shangdang County, which fell from the sky, you can't find him with those merits and cuteness. Therefore, When Zhao Luxury came into the hands of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, the tiger fell to Pingyang and could not be his master! (2) Chengye Plain Jun, defeat also Plain Jun. Zhao Hao was able to get ahead, and at first he really relied on pingyuan Jun's recommendation. However, Zhao Hao's snow hiding, Yuan Yuan believes that Ping Yuanjun is also the driving force behind the scenes. Why? You can go to see the original text of "Warring States Policy , Yan Feng Song Ren Rong Li for Gao Yang Jun", Zhao Hao's enthusiasm and wonderful analysis, as long as normal people will not give up their famous generals do not need to go far away to recruit Qi Guo's Tian Dan with high salaries. First, the cost of hiring is high, second, Tian Shan does not understand the Zhao Army, and third, Tian Shan's dedication is certainly not as good as Zhao Luxury! But even so, Pingyuan Jun had to urge King Zhao to hire Tian Dan. What was the reason for PingYuan Jun's insistence on Li Lingzhi? Yuanyuan believed that there was only one, that is, Zhao Hao, as a member of the Zhao family of different clans of the same clan, had threatened the status of Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan. The "Chronicle of History" wrote: "The Plains King Zhao Victor, Zhao Zhi's princes also." The wisest of the sons. Although Zhao Hao was not a royal nobleman, he entered the power center of the Zhao state step by step after starting from the bottom, and his right to speak became heavier and heavier, as can be seen from the fact that King Zhao Huiwen convened a military conference to ask Zhao Hao. Unlike Lian Po and Li Mu, Zhao Huo was only intoxicated and good at military affairs. Zhao Hao can engage in economics and fight wars, and his comprehensive quality is extremely high, and if Zhao Hao is allowed to continue to develop, the ruling position of the Plain King will definitely be affected. Fortunately, King Huiwen of Zhao died and the new king ascended the throne. King Xiaocheng of Zhao, who had newly ascended to the throne, relied heavily on the Prince of Pingyuan and regarded him as a humeral subject and a clan elder, and obeyed his words. Therefore, Pingyuan Jun took this opportunity to gradually hide Zhao Luxury and deprive him of his rights without affecting the fundamental interests of the country, which is the real reason why Zhao Luxury was abandoned.
The story behind is very familiar to everyone, Zhao Hao died, King Zhao accepted Shangdang County and the State of Qin to fight a long-term peace war under the advice of Pingyuan Jun, and King Zhao and Pingyuan Jun replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, and finally baiqi pit 400,000 people. History is such a paradox, and I can only be an afterthought. Finally, the article ends with cao cao's evaluation of Zhao Hao: "Zhao Hao and Dou Baozhi are generals, given thousands of gold, scattered in one dynasty, so they can achieve great achievements and eternal voices. ”
