Qin State In the process of unifying the six countries, there is a country that is the biggest obstacle to the Qin State’s unification path, and it is also the most regrettable of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, that is, the Zhao State that Qin State must face when it goes east.
During the Warring States Period, Zhao State once became the most powerful country. Even for a long time, it was the strongest in the Central Plains, and Qin State could only surrender. Moreover, the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Lianpo and Li Mu were both generals of Zhao State, but they did not let the two really help Zhao State dominate. As a result, these two famous generals fled and the other were unjustly killed. From then on, Zhao was no longer able to compete with Qin, and even in the last eight years before Zhao destroyed the country, it made people feel extremely sad.
The ancestors of Zhao and Qin are both surnamed Ying, and the ancestors of the two countries are Fei Lian, the general of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. The ancestors of Qin were brothers, while the elders of Zhao were younger brothers. Because their ancestors were under King Zhou, after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the family did not receive the reuse of Zhou Dynasty . During the Zhou Dynasty, an ancestor named Ying named Zaofu was awarded the fief of Zhao Cheng because he was successful in helping to combat the rebellion. He then used the fief as his surname, and the Zhao family of Zhao State was born.
The ancestors of Qin were at the time of King Xiao of Zhou. There was a man named Feizi in the Ying clan. Because he made great contributions in raising war horses, he obtained the fief of Qin . Moreover, because this branch is the main branch of the Ying surname, the Zhao family, which already has a fief, also went to Qin where Fei Zi was located to worship his ancestors.
This is the origin of the ancestors of Qin and Zhao. However, Qin established its own vassal states, while Zhao established its own country after the division of Jin through the three families of . However, after the division of Jin, because Zhao State rejected the Xiongnu in the north, resisted the Qin State in the west, and defended the Wei State in the south, and always paid attention to the Yan and Qi countries in the east, so that it became the famous "land of four wars". Because of this, the people of Zhao State were strong, and during the King Wuling of Zhao, they vigorously developed cavalry and became a powerful country in the Central Plains.
When King Huiwen of Zhao , Qin State gradually became stronger after Shang Yang's reform , and then he always wanted to advance eastward, but the one who stood in front of Qin was Zhao State. Subsequently, a series of tentative historical events occurred in the two countries. When it came to , the battle between Changping was completely determined. Due to the demise of Zhao's 400,000 troops, the national strength was greatly reduced and he could no longer compete with the powerful Qin.
Finally, during the King Zhao moved to , Qin finally captured the capital of Zhao, and the king was also captured by the Qin army. Zhao was actually destroyed, but it did not disappear completely. The minister of Zhao at that time supported the prince Jia as the king of Zhao . After continuing to resist Qin for six years, it was completely destroyed by the Qin army, which really made Zhao completely disappear.
The demise of Zhao State also began in the second year after the death of the four famous generals Li Mu, and until the death of Gongzi Jia in the end, it existed in name only for 8 years. Therefore, there is a saying that "Li Mu will not die, Zhao will not perish." In just the past few years, it can be said that Zhao State is sad and lamentable, and there are the following aspects.
1, The fall of the four famous generals Li Mu,
As the last four remaining generals of Zhao State, it has always helped Zhao State resist the Qin army, making it impossible for the Qin army to capture Zhao State. Subsequently, Qin generals Wang Jian used a counter-espionage strategy to get rid of Li Mu, and a famous general died from then on. No one in Zhao State was Wang Jian's opponent, and he then broke through the capital of Zhao State with great momentum.
Although Li Mu's undead may not guarantee that Zhao can resist Qin, Li Mu's death will definitely accelerate the speed of Qin's destruction of Zhao, which is the result of Zhao's own retribution.
2. Natural disasters continue to occur
In the last two years of Zhao State, a severe drought first occurred, which caused a large number of refugees to travel to Qin State and lost a large number of people. To make matters worse, Zhao State then experienced another major earthquake, which made many people no longer hesitate and fled to Zhao State. This made Zhao State even less powerful and its population drastically reduced.
3. The capital was destroyed and the monarch was captured
. Wang Jian Without Li Mu, the powerful opponent, the remaining generals of Zhao State were simply giving him a head. Soon, Wang Jian captured the capital of Zhao. Wang Qian of Zhao was also captured by the Qin army, and Zhao State died in name only.
4. In the final resistance, Prince Jia died with his eyes closed
0 After King Zhao became a prisoner, Zhao State had already died in name only, and his brother Prince Jia was supported to become the new King Zhao. However, when Qin State attacked Yan, Prince Jia asked the remaining soldiers of Zhao State to help Yan's army resist Qin State, but was destroyed by Wang Jian's army.
Yanzhao Since ancient times, there have been many sad songs. Faced with the powerful Qin army, the two countries can still compete with Wang Jian at this time. In the end, Yan State was destroyed and Gongzi Jia ran away. After a few years, Gongzi Jia was still unable to resist the Qin army's attack and eventually committed suicide. The last flame of Zhao State was extinguished.
The demise of Zhao, in addition to the strength of Qin, also had many problems within itself. For example, the subsequent kings did not improve their national strength at all, and the treacherous ministers in the court made the loyal ministers and generals such as Li Mu end up miserably, and in the end they encountered an unbeatable natural disaster. Although Zhao's final resistance is sad, behind this, it is actually caused by more of its own reasons. Once Zhao is destroyed, Qin is unification.
