During the Warring States period, the seven heroes competed for hegemony, and for their own interests, they rose up one after another with the trend of destruction and decay, and the Zhao state also greatly enhanced its national strength after the riding and shooting of King Zhao Wuling.
After repeated training, the first cavalry unit in Chinese history was born, and later, with the decline of Qi and Chu, the Zhao state could be said to be the only country that could fight against the Qin state.
As a general of the Zhao State, from beginning to end, Zhao Hao only won a battle for the Zhao State, but he was named Ma Fujun, as we all know, the official position of Ma Fujun is equivalent to a national lieutenant, in charge of military and political affairs.
There were thousands of soldiers under his command, which was a very large official position in the Warring States period, so why was this? How capable is Zhao Hao?
Zhao Luxury
At that time, the State of Qin was also very clear in its heart about the strong national strength of the State of Zhao, and it could even be said that it had become a stumbling block on the way forward for the State of Qin, so the top priority of the State of Qin was to eliminate the State of Zhao, so as to achieve its goal of unifying the Six Kingdoms.
Therefore, in 270 BC, the State of Qin sent Hu Yang to lead an army to attack the State of Zhao, and As a general of the State of Qin, Hu Yang was immediately ordered to lead an army of 100,000 people to march towards the State of Zhao, however, at this time, the State of Zhao did not have any defensive heart at all, and in desperation, his strategic position was occupied by the Qin army.
As we all know, Fu And for the Zhao State, the significance is far-reaching, once lost, the territory of the Zhao State will be divided into east and west.
In addition, Fuhe was also an important passage between Jinyang, the former capital of the Zhao State, and the current capital city of Handan, which meant that once this area was lost, the entire Jinzhong region would fall into the hands of the Qin State.
At this critical juncture, King Huiwen of Zhao was so anxious that he hurried to find all the ministers to discuss the matter, but after some heated discussion, Lian Po, the first general of the Zhao Kingdom, and others unanimously agreed that they should not send troops to rescue the area.
Ma FuJun Zhao luxury
The main reasons are as follows:
First, Fu And at this time had been lost, the Qin army occupied this place, and could use sufficient energy to fight against the rushing Zhao army, and the Zhao army had little chance of winning.
Second, after the Qin army occupied Fuhe, it also quickly occupied Wu'an in the north of Handan, and at the same time, it was extremely familiar with the situation in Handan at this time, so at this time, the Zhao army sent troops to rescue, it was very likely that it would be discovered by the Qin army, and an ambush was set up in Wu'an and other places.
At that time, the entire Zhao Army will be completely annihilated, and from these two aspects, the views of Lian Po and others are not completely unreasonable, so they will stand idly by and watch in order to brake quietly? Obviously impossible, so what to do?
At this time, Zhao Hao bravely stood up and said loudly: Our army belongs to the local operation this time, whether it is the terrain or the people's hearts, it has certain advantages, moreover, the two armies fight, the strength is comparable, naturally the side that dares to fight will definitely win the victory, so it can send troops to rescue.
When King Zhao Huiwen heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and despite the objections of others, he dispatched Zhao Hao, who was not yet famous at this time, to lead troops to fight on the spot.
Of course, Zhao Hao did not disappoint King Huiwen of Zhao, and was extremely cautious tactically, and after the army drove out of Handan, Zhao Hao ordered the soldiers to camp and secretly pay attention to the movements of the Wu'an Qin army.
On the other hand, the Qin army saw that the Zhao army did not send troops to Wu'an, and at the same time led the army was an unknown general Zhao Hao, so it immediately relaxed its vigilance.
Zhao Hao also knew this in his heart, so after 28 days, he suddenly ordered the soldiers to attack Xiangfu and the soldiers all night long, and the soldiers traveled a long distance and crossed the mountains and mountains for more than a hundred kilometers.
Finally, two days later, successfully arrived here, at the same time, with the momentum of breaking bamboo, successfully recovered this place, the Qin army reacted at this time, greatly shocked, repeatedly defeated, helpless, had to withdraw troops, just like this, Fu and this strategic place was successfully recovered.

Early the next morning, the news of the victory reached the ears of King Huiwen of Zhao, who was so excited that he could not help but repeatedly praise: General Zhao Hao was brave and named him Ma Fujun!
In the face of the powerful Qin State, Zhao Hao did not have the slightest timidity, bravely led the army to go out, and created a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak in history, you know, the Qin State has never suffered such a great humiliation after the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, and the appearance of Zhao Hao can be said to extinguish the arrogance of the Qin army, so that the Qin army suffered a big loss, and for a long time, it could not be calmed.
Zhao Hao in combat
After that, Zhao Hao became a household name in the Zhao state, was well-known, was called a famous general of the Zhao state, and was deeply admired by the generals of the imperial court, so it was not inappropriate for Zhao Hao to be crowned as a horse fujun with this battle.
Because the opponent is a powerful Qin army, coupled with the fact that when all the generals are timid, he bravely stepped forward, this spirit is worth learning from everyone, which is also the reason why he showed off for a lifetime, which can be said to be well-deserved!
