In 326 BC, in the middle of Handan City, the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, the noisy street market was empty on weekdays, and even if there were occasionally a few people walking on the streets, they were in a hurry. In the middle of Handan City, in the tall and majestic Zhao Palace, a childish teenager dressed in the costume symbolizing the king sat on the top of the main hall, and His Highness's courtiers were silent, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this young man and his courtiers are terrified.
Why?
This is because not long ago, King Hui of Wei, together with the four kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan, dispatched elite troops and marched towards the Zhao State in a menacing manner under the banner of "burying" the ancestors of the Zhao State.
Then, who is this Zhao Guoxianjun, and why can he enjoy the treatment of "burying" the troops of the Five Kingdoms?
This Zhao Guo Xianjun is the Zhao Su Marquis Zhao Yu, that is, the Zhao Guojun who is like a "flat-headed brother" mentioned by the author in the previous article.
Zhao Yu, the Marquis of Zhao Su, took over the power of the Zhao state from his father Zhao Chenghou in 350 BC, and after he ascended the throne, it was at the time when the Three Jin Alliance collapsed and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Chu counterattacked the suppression of the previous Three Jins.
During this period, the world was full of smoke and flames, and there was a "churning stick" like King Hui of Wei between the Three Jin Dynasties, and there was also a threat from the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Chu. In the face of this situation, Zhao Suhou took a approach that was very similar to the famous saying of the famous angel investor Lei Junlei Boss - life and death are indifferent, and if you don't obey, you will do it!
During Zhao Suhou's lifetime, he organized alliances many times to attack the then hegemonic state of Wei, which greatly weakened the hegemony of the state of Wei, and then the state of Wei collapsed under the blows of Qin, Qi, Chu and other states, and Zhao Suhou led the state of Zhao to fight viciously with Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries for many years, and did not fall behind.
Just think, such a "big guy" who "looks down on life and death, and does not obey" is not very hated by people? In addition, when Marquis Su of Zhao died, although the crown prince Zhao Yong later became the King of Zhao Wuling, he was only fourteen years old at this time and had no ability to control the entire Zhao kingdom.
In this way, there was the scene where the five kingdoms sent troops to "bury" Zhao Suhou.
Speaking of this, there will not be brothers who feel that the "five national burials" are the affirmation of Zhao Suhou by various countries, the special honor of zhao states, and the five countries send troops to "bury", is it to go to Zhao country to eat a few more bowls of rice, to make a scene, right?
This is obviously one of the biggest crises that Zhao Guoguo has encountered since the beginning!
So, how did King Zhao Wuling resolve this crisis?
This has to mention a Zhao Guoxian chen, Fei Yi.
Fei Yi, a native of the State of Zhao, was appreciated by Marquis Zhao Su in his early years and was able to hold important positions, and was once honored as a "noble minister" by Marquis Zhao Su. He assisted Marquis Suhou of Zhao in the war for hegemony, and then assisted the young lord twice.
After the death of Marquis Zhao Suhou, Fei Yi became the trusted minister of Zhao Suhou, first assisting King Wuling of Zhao and teaching King Wuling of Zhao to become an outstanding king, and then when King Wuling of Zhao entered the bottleneck of "Riding and Shooting in Hufu", he urged King Wuling of Zhao to carry out in-depth reforms, which led to the later powerful State of Zhao.
After King Wuling of Zhao was in his prime, he was ordered to assist the young King Huiwen of Zhao, Zhao He, and carefully taught King Zhao Huiwen, but was killed in the "Dune Palace Change" for protecting King Zhao Huiwen.
This crisis in the Zhao State was resolved, also thanks to Fei Yi.
After learning the news of the "burial of the five countries", Zhao Guojun was helpless, in this case, Fei Yi stood up and proposed that Zhao Guo should hold the attitude of breaking the net of fish death and deal with this matter strongly. With the assistance of Fei Yi, King Wuling of Zhao first gathered a large domestic army and ordered the border guards to strengthen their guard and be ready to carry out at any time. Subsequently, King Wuling of Zhao, at the suggestion of Fei Yi, sent envoys to bribe the King of Yue and the King of Lou with heavy gold, so that the State of Yue sent troops to attack the State of Chu, and lou Fu sent troops to attack the State of Yan, which participated in the "funeral", and the State of Zhongshan, which was watching from the sidelines.
In this case, the Chu army and the Yan army were forced to return to the division, and king Wuling of Zhao then united Korea and the Song kingdom, and the three kingdoms formed a character structure, which made the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Qi suffer from the enemy, and in desperation, they could only dispel the idea of taking advantage of the Zhao state and even destroying the Zhao state.
Then, King Wuling of Zhao ordered the border guards to only bring the envoys of various countries into the Zhao kingdom, and the large army could only stay outside the borders of the country, and the envoys of all countries saw that the Zhao state had long been prepared for war, and the main army was also assembled in Handan, so after participating in the funeral of Marquis Zhao Su, they left in a hurry, and the crisis of the Zhao state was lifted...
