Zhao Guo occupies two of the four famous generals. Why is the country destroyed and the family destroyed? Sasha Q&A Episode 151
There are too many famous generals in a country, which may not be a good thing.
What does this mean?
shows that this country often fights wars.
Ancient wars are different from today, and they are all face-to-face progress and hand-to-hand combat.
The so-called killing one thousand people will hurt you by yourself. Even if you win every battle, you will not die in a few people. The strength of your country will be greatly consumed. Among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period , Zhao did account for two, namely Li Mu and Lian Po .
But this is not something to be proud of, but a tragedy.
Zhao State is not a weak chicken, but is the fourth strong country in the Warring States Period, second only to Qin, Chu and Qi.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, Zhao State is even stronger than Qi State , and at most ranks third behind Qin and Chu. Why is this happening to
? The main reason is that Zhao State is in a bad position and is surrounded by strong enemies on all sides.
To the north of Zhao State are powerful ethnic minorities such as Xiongnu , Linhu , and Yan , Qi Qin and other neighboring countries that are difficult to mess with. Since its founding, wars have continued.
The Zhao State was very difficult to deal with the nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu and Linhu, and they almost destroyed the country and the race.
, Zhao State has always lost more than win less.
The reason why Li Mu of Zhao State is so famous is that he lured the enemy into the depths and annihilated the 100,000 Huns army at one time.
Even so, the Huns continued to harass Yan, Zhao and Qin, and this kind of war would not stop.
Look at Lian Po again. He defeated Qi, Wei, and Qin many times, and maintained the situation in the early stages of the Battle of Changping in .
Whether it is Lian Po or Li Mu, their military achievements are inseparable from the fact that Zhao State's military strength is constantly weakening.
For example, during the War of Unity, the Qin army defeated Zhao and killed 100,000 troops, and Li Mu rushed to the front line to command.
Although Li Mu defeated the Qin army many times, he resisted the attacks of Korea and Wei, completely stabilizing the situation.
After the continuous wars, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in Zhao State.
Although Zhao State did not perish, the national military power was consumed hugely.
Except for the capital Handan , the other country of Zhao State is still complete, nine out of ten households are empty, and the countryside is sparsely populated, so there are almost no males.
When Qin launched the final general attack, Zhao's strength was almost gone. Even if Li Mu is not killed by , Zhao Wang , it will be difficult to do anything.
On the contrary, although Qin State also suffered some losses, its national strength is strong and has a large population, which is much stronger than Zhao State.
You should know that the population of Qin is twice that of Zhao, and the grain output is even several times.
