In 269 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent the Qin general Hu Yang (胡阳) to lead an army of 80,000 to attack the Zhao state's key position of Fuhe (present-day Heshun, Shanxi) on the grounds that the State of Zhao did not fulfill its agreement to exchange cities. Although Hu Yang was not as good as Bai Qi, the 80,000 Qin troops behind him were not paper paste, and as soon as the Qin army arrived at Fu he, he launched an attack on the Zhao defenders of Fu He, surrounded Fu and the city, and looked like it was about to fall. When the news of Fu and the siege reached Handan, King Huiwen of Zhao immediately summoned the important ministers of the State of Zhao to convene an emergency military conference to discuss the next step. Unexpectedly, most of the people, both civilian and military generals, advocated abandoning the rescue of Fu He, and even Lian Po, the head of the military generals, believed that Fu He was far away from Handan, the road was narrow, and it was easy to be ambushed by the Qin army if it was rushed to rescue, and advocated another battlefield to fight with the Qin army. Since even Lian Po thought so, King Zhao Huiwen was ready to give up Fu He, and just as the meeting was about to end, a sentence "The narrow road meets the brave wins" broke the silence of the venue.
Everyone looked at Zhao Hao, who said this sentence, Zhao Hao was just an ordinary general at this time, before he was just a tax collector, and later he was appreciated by Pingyuan Jun to enter the Zhao State Army, and made some military achievements in the Yan-Zhao War and the "Five Kingdoms Attack" War, but mainly existed in supporting roles, and has not been noticed by King Huiwen of Zhao. In full view of everyone, Zhao Hao delivered a passionate speech, he analyzed the terrain of Fuhe, and believed that although the terrain was narrow and the roads were rough, as long as a little use could turn passivity into dominance, more importantly, the Qin army was more of a tentative attack, if the Zhao state retreated, it would make the Qin state think that the Zhao state was weak, and it would increase the frequency of invasion in the future, which would be more passive. Only by taking the initiative to attack and resisting the enemy outside the gate of the country can we deter the ambitions of other wolves in the Qin state and protect the national interests of the Zhao state.
Zhao Hao's speech impressed King Huiwen of Zhao, who immediately issued an edict with Zhao Hao as the main general and commanded the elite Zhao army of 100,000 people to rescue Fu He. Zhao Hao led the mighty Zhao army from Handan City, which was a winning army that had shined in the war to destroy Zhongshan, the Yan-Zhao War, and the Five Kingdoms Offensive War, and this was a "Hufu Riding and Shooting" corps that had been trained by a generation of male masters. Now they are going to compete with the world's strongest army, the Qin State Ruishi. However, unexpectedly, Zhao Hao stopped less than 30 miles after leaving Handan City, and then marched less than 20 miles a day, grinding and rubbing for half a month, not even half of the distance. Zhao Hao's subordinates repeatedly advised that Fu and Fu were in danger and needed to be rescued immediately, but they were ruthlessly killed by Zhao Hao, and threatened to "cut those who dare to speak into the army", and Zhao Jun thought that Zhao Hao was a pawn, and his heart was full of strength.
When the news reached the Qin army camp, the Qin army commander Hu Yang jumped up with joy, and it turned out that Zhao Hao was no more than that. Therefore, he transferred the Qin army originally used to defend Zhao Hao to Fu and chengxia and stepped up the attack on Fu and cheng. At this critical moment, Zhao Hao immediately seized the fighter plane and ordered the Zhao army to advance at full speed, day and night, and only then did the Zhao army suddenly realize that General Zhao was "loaded". The Zhao army soon advanced to the vicinity of Fuhe, and just when the Qin army was attacking Fuhe with all its might, it launched a surprise attack on the Qin army from the flank, because Hu Yang transferred the Qin army on the flank to attack the city, causing the Qin army's flank to collapse rapidly, and the Qin army formation was in chaos, Zhao Hao took advantage of the situation to cover up, drove the Qin army to the middle army, and killed the Qin army's main general Hu Yang in one fell swoop. As soon as Hu Yang died, the Qin army was leaderless and collapsed, and the battle fell into a "one-sided" state, and in just one day, Hu Yang's Qin army was completely destroyed, and 80,000 people were killed.
The Battle of Fuhe was the most serious defeat of the Qin state since the Shang martingale reform, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly weakened, and it suffered from "Zhao phobia" for a long time, and did not dare to use troops against the Zhao state for the next ten years. Zhao Hao also went through this battle, and became the top famous general of the Zhao Kingdom, juxtapotic with Lian Po, the First World War fought a 10-year peace in the Zhao Kingdom, after the war Zhao Hou was named Ma Fujun, the international status of the Zhao State was also greatly improved, and since then the Six Kingdoms of the Kwantung Have been headed by the Zhao State.
