It is said that after the three families of Han Zhao and Wei divided the Jin state, the first superpower in the Spring and Autumn Period, they formed the Warring States Little Tiger Team, commonly known as the Central Plains f3, that is, the Three Jins. After a honeymoon period, the Little Tigers gradually drifted away, of which the Wei family was the only one, dominating the world for a hundred years. The powerful State of Wei has swelled, and once people have expanded, there will definitely be accidents, and the same will happen to the country. The State of Wei continued to bully the neighboring countries, and finally was jointly strangled by the surrounding countries, and the three major battles of the Battle of Guiling, the Battle of Maling, and the Battle of Hexi were completely hollowed out.
Just when the first brother of the Little Tiger Team hung up, Zhao Guo, the second elder of the Little Tiger Team, appeared on the scene, quite the momentum of Lao Tzu, a mess left by Wei Guo. Whoever said this was Comrade Zhao Yong, the famous King of Zhao Wuling, and personally believed that he was the first king of the Warring States (not Wang Ba). Comrade Zhao Yong is not an ordinary fierce, as soon as he appeared on the scene, he carried the aura of the protagonist, thinking that his father Zhao Suhou died young, leaving only 11-year-old Zhao Yong to succeed to the throne. At the beginning of the succession, the nations mobilized heavy troops to garrison the border of the Zhao state under the guise of condolence, which is where to mourn, it is simply to find fault. At this time, the domestic political situation in the Zhao state was unstable, and the border was almost restless. Just when everyone was opening their eyes and preparing to see Comrade Zhao Yong's jokes, the 11-year-old Zhao Yong showed his 31-year-old sophistication, first three times five divided by two to deal with the domestic opposition, and then personally led a large army to the border, saying to the famous words of the nations, it is okay to say that the army will not enter the territory of the Zhao country, and the countries will not enter the territory of the Zhao country when they see that there is no cheap to occupy, and they will return home in a gray and slippery way.
The border crisis was lifted, but bad news came from the north, and it turned out that the Zhongshan State had invaded again, and the Zhongshan State was a country established by a nomadic people in the northeast direction of the Zhao State, with a small population but everyone was a soldier, and the cavalry was the mainstay, and the combat effectiveness was extremely fierce, which was a big problem that had long plagued the Zhao State (similar to the relationship between the Yiqu State and the Qin State). In order to completely solve the zhongshan problem, King Wuling of Zhao was ready to move.
Comrade Zhao Yong announced that starting from today, all civil servants and public institution staff throughout the country will wear Hu costumes, and the army will not only wear Hu costumes but also learn to ride horses, train cavalry on a large scale, and hire high-paying equestrian instructors from the northern Xiongnu to improve the combat effectiveness of the Cavalry of the Zhao army. He was the first to take off his long coat and change to a bearded coat, and in the future, he rode a horse instead of driving, and since the boss did this, the people of the whole country could only follow suit. Not to mention, the clothes of the Hu people are indeed quite suitable for combat, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is also recognized as superior to that of the infantry. In just a few years, the State of Zhao established a cavalry legion with a famous name, becoming the only major country that could compete with the Qin State head-on in the late Warring States period, and also became the biggest obstacle to the unification of the Qin State.
The domineering Comrade Zhao Yong not only made great achievements in the military, but also engaged in diplomacy; after Comrade Yingdang, the king of Qin Wu (an old friend of our article), hung up his head, the Qin state was in chaos for three years, and finally Comrade Zhao Yong carried forward the international humanitarian spirit and sent troops to escort Yingji (later King Zhaoxiang of Qin) to the Qin state to claim the throne. After the rebellion of the Sons of Yan, it was also Comrade Zhao Yong who once again carried forward the spirit of international humanitarianism and sent troops to escort Ji Zhi (later King Zhao of Yan) to the State of Yan to claim the throne. It is not easy to manage such a high realm in a nosy way.
