When the wheel of history entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Zhou Li, known for its faithfulness, gradually changed. The priority of interest led to the collapse of the princely states, and how to maintain the covenant between the two countries became a reality. The exchange of hostages between the two countries became a last resort to maintain the covenant, and the hostages of the two countries became the link between the two countries. It was very popular to exchange hostages during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. King Chu Kaolie, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Prince Dan of the State of Yan, and so on all achieved the work of being hostages, which are clearly recorded in historical books such as the "History of History" and "The Biography of Gu Liang". Therefore, it is not too much to say that even the seizure of the opposing monarch occurred during the alliance, mainly because the Chu state was not prepared to lead to such an outcome. As for the Chu state, it does not deserve sympathy, because the first thing to do by using the Hui alliance to detain and humiliate the monarchs of other countries is the Chu state.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Tianzi declined, princes xing, Qi Huan, Song Xianggong, Jin Wengong, Qin Mugong, and Chu Zhuang Wang successively completed the process of hegemony. The so-called hegemony is said to be the leader of the national organization (similar to the United States in NATO), who enjoys a high position in the name of honoring the king. After the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the minor overlord Song Xianggong also intended to become the next overlord, and even Qi Xiaogong returned to the State of Qi to succeed to the throne under the escort of Song Xianggong's army. At that time, both the State of Song and the State of Chu were relatively powerful, and Zheng Guo and other states planned to honor the State of Chu as the new hegemon. Huimeng generally did not bring an army, and Song Xianggong had to participate in huimeng's self-proclaimed hegemony, but was detained for half a year by the army that had been ambushed in advance by King Chu Cheng against morality; and Xu Guojun was asked to take off his shirt and expose his arms to plead guilt. Since then, the Chu state has made a very bad start, so the king of Chu Huai was deceived and detained by the qin state, which is also considered karma. It was false that the State of Zhao did not dare to kill the hostages of the State of Qin, and the State of Zhao finally won the Battle of Handan when it was besieged; moreover, since zhao Guo Zhongxing had defeated the State of Qin, how could it be afraid that the State of Qin would not dare to kill the hostages of the State of Qin?
The State of Zhao was different from the State of Wei, which was the first to rise, and belonged to the late rise of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Counting from the reform of The Zhao Wuling King Hufu Riding archery, the Zhao State attacked the Zhongshan Kingdom and became a pole that threatened the Six Kingdoms of the East. From the peak of the Zhao State to the fall of the country is only 70 years, so the later Zhao State is not a flat head brother of the general existence. Even in the later period, it became the only princely state that could directly confront the Qin state, even after losing 450,000 elites in the Battle of Changping. The badly wounded State of Zhao's failure to fulfill its promise to cut off land triggered the State of Qin to invade and besiege the capital city of Handan for several months, but the city of Handan still did not surrender; finally, the combined forces of the State of Wei and the State of Chu defeated the Qin army. Let's not comment on King Zhao's conduct after he fulfilled his promise, but there is absolutely no problem in terms of Zhao Guo's backbone. Therefore, Zhao Guo did not dare to kill the Yingzheng family, but could not find it: Yingzheng's father, Zichu, bribed the city gate official to escape from Handan, and Yingzheng's mother and son, as the local rich people of the Zhao Kingdom, also hid. "History, Volume 85, Lü Buwei Lie Biography 25": King Qin Zhao, for fifty years, made Wang Gong surround Handan, anxious, and Zhao wanted to kill Zi Chu. Zi Chu conspired with Lü Buwei to give six hundred pounds of gold to the defenders, and they were able to get rid of them, and they died in the Qin army, so they returned. Zhao wanted to kill Zi Chu's wife, and Zi Chu's wife Zhao Hao's daughter also had to hide, so that the mother and son had to live.
After the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, the State of Zhao gained a brief gain in the battle, defeating the attacks of the Yan, Wei, and Qin states several times. The three generals Lian Po, Li Mu, and Pang Yan made great achievements: Lian Po led the Zhao army to defeat the Yan army that had taken advantage of the fire and looted, and then besieged the capital of the State of Yan; then the State of Zhao captured the city of the State of Wei; when the State of Qin sent a large army to attack Zhao, it was defeated by Pang Yan and killed tens of thousands of Qin troops; Li Mu, the Emperor of Wu'an, completely ate the 100,000 troops of the Qin State's attack, forcing the Qin general Huan Gong to flee to the State of Yan. Such a flat-headed brother-like Zhao Congress was afraid that the Qin State would not dare to kill the Hostage Yingzheng family? What a joke.
