What kind of existence was the state of Zhao during the Warring States period?

Zhao has been strong since then, but "Zhao tasted five battles against Qin, two defeats and three victories." Later Qin attacked Zhao again, but Li Mulian did it; The herd is slandered, Handan is the county, and it is a pity that it uses force but does not end. (Theory of the Six Kingdoms), so the country is strong on the one hand, or to fight wisely, although Qin is a treacherous plan, but Zhao Guozhong has no choice.

Zhao Guowen is similar to Lin Xiang, and Wu is incorruptible. Just look for it on the Internet.

Zhao Wuling, King Zhao Yong, was a pity, starving to death.

Starting from King Wuling of Zhao, the State of Zhao has been expanding dramatically, until Changping is the same, the upward momentum is more fierce than that of the State of Qin, it can be said that it is invincible all around, which is why there is the confidence to dare to snatch food from the mouth of the State of Qin, in the face of this rise, it is only a matter of time before the State of Qin finds an excuse to start a war, and it is not easy to cripple Qi Chuwei You have another one? Some people say that Zhao's acceptance of Shangdang is short-sighted, I don't think so, if you just recapture Shangdang, Qin Zhao will almost occupy Shangdang as soon as the war starts, and the two sides can basically negotiate an agreement, but Qin State didn't want to negotiate an agreement at all, but transferred all the troops of the whole country, and a dozen is three years, so it is obvious that it is not a lesson to teach you, but to cripple you if you are not destroyed, he will not give Zhao a chance to rise, so Zhao did not annex Shangdang, and Qin will continue to attack Zhao after occupying it, Do you think that all the attacks in the late Warring States period should be famous? No, you don't!

If you want to fight, you can fight, so Qin Guo's argument that the party is an excuse is not tenable at all.

In the early Warring States period, the state of Zhao had always been very weak. He was often bullied by the Wei State. Once, it was almost broken through Handan by the Wei army, but fortunately, the army of Qi led by Sun Bin attacked Daliang, the capital of Wei, to resolve the crisis of the capture of the capital of Zhao.

This is the famous "encircling Wei to save Zhao" in history.

But later, Zhao Guoren worked hard and actively learned from the advanced places of other countries. A series of reform measures were adopted, especially after the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, Zhao's national strength flourished.

In addition, the geographical location of Zhao is relatively good, so it can avoid confrontation with other countries in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States and expand its territory to the north. In the process of increasing in size, the state of Zhao became stronger and stronger.

It became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, second only to the existence of the Qin State. However, the surrounding countries of Yan, Wei, Han, and Qi gradually went into decline. It has created a situation in which Zhao is the dominant family among the six eastern countries.

He even defeated the Qin State in head-to-head confrontations several times, which made the Qin State experience an unprecedented crisis.

However, due to the irrational attack and wrong command of the Battle of Changping, the main force of Zhao disappeared. The state of Zhao went from being extremely prosperous to weakening.

So I think that Zhao is definitely the most shining existence among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States except for Qin.

1. During the Warring States Period, the capital of Zhao was Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), and then moved the capital to Zhongmuyi (now Hebi), and then moved to Handan (now Handan, Hebei Province), and established Xing as the capital (Xingtai) during the Chenghou period.

2. The first capital of Zhao was Jinyang, which was located in the southwest of Taiyuan and the northern end of the Taiyuan Basin, with superior agricultural conditions. In 425 BC, after the death of Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Huan, the son of his brother, was Zhao Xianzi, and Zhao Hengzi, the son of Zhao Xiangzi, expelled Zhao Xianzi and moved the capital to Zhongmu. After the death of Zhao Hengzi in 424 BC, the people of the country welcomed back Zhao Xianzi, and still took Zhongmu as the national capital.

3. Zhongmu, now located in the western Shancheng District of Hebi City, Henan Province, has only been the capital of Zhao for less than 40 years, the time is relatively short, and the impact is very small, many people do not know that Henan Hebi was once the capital of Zhao, but during the period when Zhongmu was the capital of Zhao, Zhao was officially recognized by the Zhou royal family and became a prince. In 403 B.C., King Weilie of Zhou named Zhao Liehou Zhao as a prince, and the state of Zhao was officially established.

4. The direct cause of Zhao Guo's move to Handan may be civil strife, in 387 BC, Zhao Jinghou ascended the throne, and in 386 BC, Zhao Wugong's son Gongzi Chao made a rebellion, so Zhao Jinghou moved the capital to Handan, of course, the deeper reason may be that Zhongmu was too remote compared to the territory of Zhao at that time, and it was too close to the border of Qi and Wei. From 386 BC to 222 BC when it was destroyed by Qin, Handan served as the capital of Zhao for a century and a half. During the period when Handan was the capital of Zhao, Zhao grew into a powerful country that could compete with the powerful Qin after the military reform of Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry and archery, and Handan also became the political, economic, and cultural center of northern China at that time.

5. The state of Zhao also set up the capital of Xindu, located in present-day Xingtai City, in the period of Zhao Chenghou (355 BC). Xindu is an important city of Zhao State, in the battle of Zhao Xuanpin, Handan fell, and Zhao State took Xindu as the base for three years to hold on to Handan. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, after the restoration of the Zhao State, Xindu was the national capital.

In 229 BC, Qin attacked Zhao, and King Youmiao of Zhao sent Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead an army to resist. Qin will use a counter-plot to make King Youmiao kill Li Mu and Sima Shang. The Qin general Wang Jian then led a large army to attack Zhao, broke through the Jingchengkou, captured Handan, and captured the king of Zhao Youmiao.

Zhao Jia fled to Daicheng to claim the title of Daiwang, and in 226 BC he joined forces with the Yan army to fight the Qin army in the west of Yishui, and after the defeat, he forced the Yan king to hand over the crown prince Dan. In 222 BC, the Qin army was destroyed, Zhao Jia was captured, and Zhao Guo died.

Since the queen of Zhao Wuling, although the Zhao State has established a strong army through Hufu cavalry shooting, it has not developed its own economy very quickly, and has not carried out strong social reforms. The king of Zhao was also very stupid at this time, the famous general Lian Po fled, and Zhao Hao and Li Mu were not trusted by King Zhao as generals. With the spies that Qin bought with a lot of money, King Zhao was replaced by a famous general in a hundred battles, and replaced with a Zhao Kuo who could only talk about it, so that Zhao State was defeated by Qin Wu'an Jun Baiqi, and killed 300,000 soldiers!

This greatly weakened the resistance of the Zhao State, and the Zhao State was no longer able to organize a military force capable of confronting the strong Qin in the future. The state of Qin also dismembered the six eastern countries through a series of diplomacy, making them suspicious of each other and not aiding each other, and the state of Zhao did not receive any decent foreign aid except for the aid of the Wei state Xin Lingjun who disobeyed and killed the general Jin Contempt to save Zhao. The state of Zhao was constantly weakened by the state of Qin, and was eventually destroyed by the state of Qin.

In the middle of the Zhao Kingdom, there was Lin Xiang, Lian Po. It won't work in the later period, and it will still be destroyed by the Qin State.
