In the first episode of "Great Qin Fu", Qin attacked the Zhao capital city of Handan, the two armies confronted Handan City, the long sword came out of its sheath under an order, the rocks flew all over the sky, the arrows flew like locusts, the siege soldiers followed in front of the servants, the defending soldiers preferred to die unyieldingly, for a time, flesh and blood flew, the soldiers died and were injured countless times, and it was unbearable to see... The Battle of Handan lasted three years, and under the mediation of Zhao Sheng, the king of the Zhao Plain, the State of Chu and the State of Wei helped each other, and the State of Zhao narrowly won, but the State of Zhao also went farther and farther downhill from then on.
In the middle and late period of the Warring States, the State of Qin and the State of Zhao were the protagonists of the Central Plains, and the other five kingdoms had been overwhelmed by Qin. There were many major battles between the qin and Zhao armies, such as the famous Battle of Fuhe (赵国胜, general Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo's father), the Battle of Changping (秦胜, Qin general Bai Qi, Zhao general Zhao Kuo, more than 400,000 Qin's fallen Zhao army, if they did not change generals, Lian Po could not win), and the Battle of Handan mentioned in the opening chapter.
The two princely states that had strangled each other for hundreds of years were the ancestors of their monarchs, but they were brothers and sisters at the time of Yin Shang. The ancestors of the Qin people were "Evil Lai", the ancestors of the Zhao people were "Ji Sheng", their common father was called "Gong Lian", and their brother Evil Lai also served the King of Shang, and was killed by the Zhou people who cut down the Shang Dynasty.
(2) Zhao Guo
His younger brother "Ji Sheng", his son Meng Zeng served King Cheng of Zhou, and his great-grandson "Father-making" waited for King Miao of Zhou to drive a carriage for him, and in the conquest of King Miao of Zhou, Zhou Tianzi gave him Zhao Cheng, and from then on there was a "Zhao clan". In the text related to surnames, we say that many nobles have no surname but have "clans", "clans" are for family inheritance, inheritance of fiefdoms, inheritance of titles, etc., so the father-made father had Zhao Cheng to give birth to the "Zhao clan", ordinary people even planted an acre and three points of land is divided by the imperial court, the house is thatched, what to do with a clan.
The father-made father passed down to the sixth generation, there was a capable person called "Father Xiang", King Xuan of Zhou conquered Xi Rong, Father Xiang made meritorious service, his son "Uncle Belt" caught up with the "King of Zhou You" of the "Princes of Beacon Theatre", Father Xiang found that there was no mixed head at the feet of Zhou Tianzi, so he went to the princely state of Jin to serve the Marquis Wen of Jin at that time. The State of Jin was a great princely state with the same surname as "Ji" (姬), and his ancestors were the sons of Ji Fa the King of Zhou Wu and the younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou. Father Xiang mixed well in the Jin Dynasty, built the Zhao family, and since then the Zhao family has become more and more prosperous, and the Zhao family has served the Jin chamber for several generations, such as Zhao Wan (cui) not only assisted the Jin Wen Gong Heavy Ear but also was connected with the Heavy Ear, and Zhao Wan's son Zhao Dun presided over the imperial government in the Jin Xiang Gong and jin Ling Gong dynasties. During the JinJing Gong, the Zhao clan was framed and exterminated by the doctor Tu Anjia, and only the pregnant wife of Zhao Shuo (the sister of Jin Chenggong) hid in the Jinjing Gonggong Palace to escape, and this child named Zhao Wu is the prototype of the film and television drama "Orphans of Zhao".
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the royal family's control became weaker and weaker, and the liuqing forces, including the Zhao clan, became more and more powerful. The fate of the princely states and Zhou Tianzi is the same, divided into seals, and finally they have emptied themselves, and they cannot get out of this dead cycle, mainly because of the system, and the implementation of the county system after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms changed the problem of the central government being hollowed out. Later, the six secretaries of the Jin Dynasty attacked each other and annexed each other's territories. In 401 BC, King Weilie of Zhou enfeoffed the state of Zhao, Korea, and Wei as princes, and the state of Zhao became a princely state. In 376 BC, Marquis Jing of Zhao, Marquis Of Han, and Marquis Wu of Wei destroyed the Jin state, and the three families of Han Zhao and Wei divided the Jin. The Zhao state became more powerful, and it became one of the later Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

Because the State of Qin is the predecessor of the Qin Dynasty, the traceability of the ancestors is more formal, and the history of the Qin State must be traced back to the Emperor of Zhao, but we will start with the brother of Ji Sheng, the ancestor of the Zhao State, "Evil Lai". The son of evil lai is called "female obstruction", the next generation is "Pangao", the next generation is "Taiji", the next generation is "Da Luo", the next generation is "non-son" and "cheng", and "cheng" is the half-brother of non-son. The descendants of the evil ones, all who were the same generation or junior as Ji Sheng's great-grandson, who had the blessing of the "father-making father" of the ancestors of the Zhao Kingdom, lived in Zhao Cheng.
Fei Zi was good at breeding, and the livestock, especially horses, were very much in line with the wishes of King Xiao of Zhou, who wanted Fei Zi to inherit Da Luo's fiefdom, but Da Luo's wife was the daughter of Shen Hou, and her son "Cheng" had already become the heir of Da Luo. And Da Luo's old father-in-law, Shen Hou, said: "Our ancestors had an in-law relationship with Xi Rong, so my grandson "Cheng" became the heir of Da Luo, which will help to improve the relationship with Xi Rong. Do you want to change heirs? Weigh it up! King Xiao of Zhou had no choice but to give "FeiZi" another piece of land as a fief, that is, "Qin Land", and let him take over the sacrifice of the "Win" clan, known as "Qin Win", so that qin Feizi, the ancestor of the princely states of Qin, had it, followed by Qin Hou, Qin Gongbo, Qin Zhongzi... Qin Yiren... Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi... Wait a minute. Later, the "Cheng" family was destroyed by Xi Rong, and "Qin Ying" assumed the role of confronting Xi Rong head-on in the Zhou Dynasty princely states, and qin and Xi Rong later strangled each other for hundreds of years.
Therefore, the two princely states of the Qin state and the Zhao state are actually the descendants of the two brothers of "Evil Lai" and "Ji Sheng", but after generation after generation, the blood relationship is getting weaker and weaker, and the two countries have become the main opponents of each other in the late Warring States period. What's so good about having more sons? The one who will destroy his own grandchildren in the future may be another of his own grandchildren. Just as Europeans went to colonize Africa to burn and loot, in fact, the ancestors of Europeans are said to be African apes who ran to Europe to establish a family and develop a business, so Europeans are colonizing their own tables... Brothers and sisters. Another example is the friendship between Europe and the United States, because the discovery and development of the New World in the Americas and the killing and arson on the American continent are the ancestors of the Europeans, but after thousands of years, it is difficult to say whether they can show friendship.
