After the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of vassal states was greatly reduced, and those who remained were basically large vassal states, or those with a certain military strength, basically formed the situation of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Qi, Qin, Korea, Wei, they restrained each other, until Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified them, which ended the chaotic situation of the Warring States, so in the Warring States period, if you want to gain a foothold, you must have excellent military strength, so what are the princes and kings who are good at military affairs, let's take a look at it today.
1. Wei Wuhou
The second monarch of Wei, during his reign, pushed Wei's century-old hegemony to the peak again, after he ascended the throne, after a short rest, he began a four-way campaign, and at the same time ordered troops to attack Zheng and Qin, appointed Wu Qi to lead the army to defeat the Qin army, and then united Korea and Zhao, and the three countries united to attack Chu. The army passed all the way to the hinterland of Chu, and the king of Chu mourned that he could not make peace with the coalition army, so he asked for help from Qin, and Qin sent troops to attack Korea, and the coalition army slowed down the offensive, which shows that Wei Wuhou's military strategy is not ordinary.
Before the war, Wei Wuhou personally went to the front line to reward the soldiers, the soldiers were all demoralized, Wu Qi led the five major armies, all of them fought bravely, full of combat effectiveness, the soldiers were like fighting chicken blood, the Qin army was defeated, the battle Wei Wuhou did not go to the front line, it may not be so smooth victory.
2. Zhao Wuhou
The monarch of Zhao State, the second generation monarch of Zhao State, after Zhao Wuhou ascended the throne, he immediately united Wei, Korea, and Zheng State to attack Chu State, in order to show his ability, as Wei State gradually encroached on the land of Zheng State and other neighboring countries, Zhao Wuhou did not sit still, and immediately started a war with Rong Di in the north, looking for a breakthrough point, while constantly building the Great Wall, constantly breaking through to the north, expanding the land, it can be seen that his vision is very far-reaching.
3. Zhao Chenghou
The monarch of Zhao, the fourth monarch of Zhao, after ascending the throne, Zhao Chenghou did not hide his ambitions, and immediately sent troops to attack Weiguo, seized 73 cities of Weiguo, and then continued to fight against several princes, first with the Qin army in Gao'an, defeated the Qin army, and then ordered the army to attack Qi until Juandi. Then he transferred the army to attack Zheng State, Zheng Army was defeated, occupied the territory of Zheng State, and the territory of Korea, and then sent troops to attack Wei State and besiege King Hui of Wei. Sending troops to attack Qi and occupy the Great Wall of Qi shows that his strategic thinking is still very unique, and since he came to power, he has never stopped waging wars against foreign countries, which shows his ambition to bring Zhao to a higher height.
4. King Chuwei
The king of Chu, the king of Chu, the king of Chu, King Qi Wei and King Wei Hui declared that they recognized each other's legitimacy of the throne, and the two conspired to attack the state of Chu, which made the king of Chu Wei very angry after knowing it, only a year later, the king of Chu Wei personally led a large army to attack the state of Qi, defeated the army of Qi in Xuzhou, and then expanded the power to the Jianghuai region, and built the city of Jinling.
5. King Zhao Wuling
The sixth generation of the monarch of the Zhao State, a king who was starved to death, Hu Fu cavalry shooting, laid the reform of the status of the Zhao State as a strong country, because the Zhao State in the hands of the previous monarchs, did not stand out among the princes, and the princes often treated the Zhao State as a soft persimmon pinch, Zhao Wuling King was determined to change this status quo, advocating Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting, he was the ancestor of the Chinese cavalry, taking advantage of the princes' chaotic war, to adopt the strategy of joining Qin to resist Qi, he attacked Zhongshan in one go, and received it from his own country.
The northeast of Zhao State is bordered by Donghu, the north is adjacent to the Xiongnu, and the northwest is bordered by Linhu and Loufu. These nomadic tribes often invaded the Zhao state with cavalry, and the king of Zhao Wuling was determined to recover them to improve the environment on the border, subdued the Linhu and Loufu tribes in the northern Xinjiang, built the Great Wall of Zhao, and expanded the land for thousands of miles, so that the Zhao state became a vassal state comparable to the Qin state. King Wuling of Zhao was very smart, and a series of strategies he implemented successfully pushed Zhao up and became the foundation of Zhao's strong country.
Liang Qichao once commented on him: "Since the Yellow Emperor, he has been the first male lord in China, and his martial spirit is the king!"
6. Qin Xiangong
The twenty-fourth monarch of Qin, exiled in the early years, returned to China to inherit the throne, moved the capital to Liyang after succeeding to the throne, Wei and Korea formed an alliance to attack Qin, Qin Xiangong immediately sent a large army to preemptively defeat the combined forces of Wei and South Korea, and then sent troops to Shimen of Wei and Wei to fight, this battle defeated the Wei army, killed the head of the Wei army 60,000, this battle made the vitality of Wei a big injury, only a year later, Qin Xiangong sent a large army again, in line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, at this time the army attacked Shaoliang, the Wei army was defeated again, and captured the prince of Wei, the general Gongsun Acne captured Pang Cheng.
It can be seen that Qin Xiangong's military thinking is also very bold, his military thinking is also very advanced, and he is also very familiar with marching and fighting.
The above six people are among the princes of the Warring States Period, they are considered to be the best, and they are considered to be relatively outstanding, unlike some princes who don't understand anything and can only talk on paper, and being good at military affairs is still very helpful for the development of the princes.
