Speaking of Qin and Zhao, they actually share the same ancestry - the royal family of Qin and the royal family of Zhao are both "Ying surnamed Zhao" and have a common ancestor.
The so-called "Ying surname" has a long history and can be traced back to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors - Boyi, also known as Da Fei, the son of the grandson (Daye) of the Yellow Emperor's grandson (Zhuan Xu)... He was given the surname by Emperor Shun for his contribution to assisting Yu in controlling floods. To win.
Over thousands of years, the Ying tribe has gradually grown and grown!
The so-called 'Zhao family' is a branch developed from the large family surnamed Ying.
To briefly explain the relationship, it is "Ying Villager, Lao Zhao's family".
The so-called "Ying surname Zhao" began in the Western Zhou Dynasty when there was a coachman named "Zeofu". This guy was a person with the surname Ying, and he was the fifteenth generation grandson of Boyi, the ancestor of the above-mentioned surname Ying.
"Historical Records" says that this father drove King Mu of Zhou to see the Queen Mother of the West. King Mu of Zhou was so dazzled that he forgot to return... As a result, some evil princes in the country took advantage of this opportunity to stage a rebellion.
Cepheus then drove King Mu of Zhou in his chariot, showing his superb driving skills and hurried back at a rapid pace.
King Mu of Zhou put down the rebellion, and then felt that he, the driver, had also contributed to the country, so he gave Zaofu the "Zhao City", thus becoming the Zhao family.
This is the origin of "Ying surname Zhao".
The royal family of Qin State and the royal family of Zhao State both have the surname Zhao - the driver, Comrade Zaofu, is their common ancestor.
But there is no 'brotherhood' between the two countries.
Needless to say, the expansion ambitions of the Qin State go without saying, and the Zhao State is also wary of its powerful neighbor.
Several times when the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, Zhao was one of the first countries to respond.
In real history, Zhao State, which became stronger after Zhao Yong's "Hufu Cavalry and Shooting" reforms, was the only worthy opponent of Qin State. It faced off against Qin State for decades and fought the "Changping War" Such an epic battle.
He is considered a hardcore anti-Qin pioneer.
…
Not to mention these remarks - at this moment, Zhao Yong's 200,000 elite troops have completed the final procedures to attack Qin.
Fei Yi raised his hand to Zhao Yong and said, "My king can go to war with peace of mind! There are veterans here in Handan!"
Zhao Yong laughed loudly and patted Fei Yi's shoulder affectionately, without any hint of kingly pretense: "Old man, Zhao Yong is totally at ease as long as you are here!"
At this moment, Zhao Yong was in high spirits!
As the sixth child, Zhao Yong will not easily expose the great strength of Zhao State to the world unless there is a good opportunity... He is waiting for a perfect opportunity. When the opportunity comes, he will reveal Zhao State's strength to the world in a manner that shocks the world. The country’s ambition to dominate!
No one could have imagined that the opportunity that Zhao Yong had been waiting for to attack Qin would come so quickly!
Sima mistakenly led the main force of the Qin army to attack Chu, and fell into the quagmire of attacking Chu...
Qin State, the country is empty.
It was a great time for Zhao to send troops to attack Qin!
Then, Zhao Yong on horseback raised his whip and pointed from a distance to the west: "The army is marching westward! Attack Qin!"
The Zhao army in red clothes and armor shouted "Long live" in unison with extraordinary momentum. Even if they were to fight against the notorious Qin army, they had no fear.
If Marquis Quyang is the military god of the Chu State... then Zhao Yong is the military god of the Zhao State!
Following Zhao Yong, they can't fail!
The eldest son Zhao Zhang personally led Zhao's chariot troops as the vanguard of the army.
General Lou Huan led the recruited Lin Hu, Lou Fan and a large number of cavalry trained by the Zhao State to form two wings.
The king of Zhao, Zhao Yong, personally led the Chinese army.
Attack Qin in a big way!
The army marched for three days and already saw the border between Qin and Zhao in the distance... Generals Lou Sui and Zhao Zhang came on flying horses and fell in front of Zhao Yong: "Your Majesty! The border of Qin is ahead!"
Zhao Yong raised his head and saw that it was getting late, so he waved his hand and ordered: "The three armies rest for the night and attack Qin tomorrow!"
The characteristics of Zhao's army are that they are light and agile, and come and go like the wind... When fighting against the Zhongshan Kingdom, they always invade like fire and fight when they come.
When we came to the border of Qin today, we had to rest for a night first. This was really not in line with Zhao Yong's usual military style.
Although Lou Huan was confused, he still accepted the order without hesitation and strode away.
Zhao Zhang frowned and tilted his head to look at King Zhao.
Zhao Yong looked around and saw no one around, so his voice softened and he said in a teaching tone: "Zhang'er, you should not stick to one pattern in your military skills."
"Usually when attacking Zhongshan Kingdom, there are always constraints from neighboring countries, so the opportunity is fleeting... If you want to achieve real results, you must do everything possible to seize the time!"
"This attack on Qin is different!" Zhao Yong laughed and stared at Zhao Zhang with questioning eyes: "Can you tell me?"
Zhao Zhang seemed to have understood clearly: "Father, what you mean is... the Qin people are empty in the country, while the two neighboring countries Wei and Han are also fighting abroad and are unable to intervene..."
Zhao Yong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."
This battle is really a great opportunity for Zhao Guo!
The three neighboring countries of Qin, Wei and Han all came out in force. Yan State's vitality has not recovered, and it is confronting Qi State again... Zhao Yong has enough time to free up his hands and feet to attack the empty Qin State.
The only worry...
I just hope that Xiong Wuliang can hold on for a little longer and try to survive Sima Cuo's fierce offensive for a little longer.
If the Chu Kingdom dies quickly, then Sima Cuo will be able to return reinforcements as soon as possible.
Zhao Yong looked towards the south: "Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang, if you wait a little longer, I will avenge you..."
Thinking of that young man's figure... Zhao Yong couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Such a great talent, if born in the State of Zhao, would definitely help the State of Zhao to rise to the top.
It's a pity...such a talented person will be destroyed in the hands of Sima Cuo!
Zhao Yong finally let out a long sigh and lamented: "Xiong Liang, if there is an afterlife, you might as well come and join our Zhao country in your next life..."
…
At this moment, I heard horse hooves galloping outside the camp!
Zhao Zhang's expression changed and he immediately drew his sword.
Zhao Yong was happy and not afraid: "Why are you panicking?"
With his excellent hearing honed over many years of fighting, Zhao Yong was able to tell that the people coming were just a pony team.
A moment later, a Pegasus galloped over. Before it could slow down, the knight on the horse tightened the reins, and the handsome horse stood upright!
The knight loosened the reins, slid down from behind the horse's butt, and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty! There is an urgent military report!"
Zhao Yong stretched out his hand to help the knight up and couldn't help but cheered: "Good work!"
Zhao Zhang on the side smiled - King Zhao Yong had been fighting for many years, and he was the most outstanding knight, so he naturally had a special preference for these warriors in the army.
Everyone in the Zhao army knows the preferences of King Zhao, so whenever there is an opportunity, there are always people who are willing to show their skills as much as possible in front of King Zhao in order to gain the king's attention and praise.
Zhao Zhang asked: "What urgent military report?"
The knight respectfully wrote: "Greetings to the king! Greetings to the eldest son! What I said to the eldest son is the news from the Chu Kingdom!"
oh?
Could it be that Xiong Wuliang has been defeated?
