In the next year (295 B.C.) when Mr. Mihuai, king of Chuhuai, the king of the Chu Kingdom, Mr. Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, was besieged by the rebels in his palace in Shaqiu (Ping Township, Hebei Province) and died of starvation. Mr. Zhao Yong and Mr. Mi Huai are contemporaries, and their end is also a tragedy.But Mr. Mi Huai has been useless all his life.But Mr. Zhao Yong is a hero of a generation admired by thousands of people. This goes back to the past in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Spring and Autumn Period ended in 481 BC, and the Warring States Period began the following year.In the division of time in Chinese history, the "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States" have the least epochal and social basis, let alone political basis.At the beginning, only a few intellectuals of the Confucian school talked about it, and later generations continued to use it without thinking.Mr. Kong Qiu, the founder of the Confucian school, once sorted out the chronicles of the State of Lu. The period of three hundred years is called the "Spring and Autumn Period", that is, the period when the Zhou Dynasty declined and became the Zhou Kingdom, and independent feudal states were established.The end of the Spring and Autumn Period, followed by the Warring States Period.As for which year the Warring States Period should start, historians say different things and set dates, and they all hold things and make sense.One of the most authoritative statements is that it should start from 403 BC.In that year, the state of Jin split into Korea, Zhao, and Wei.And Mr. Sima Guang's famous historical works started from that year.However, the seventy-seven years from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period (480 BC) to 404 BC were worse than the Spring and Autumn Period. They could neither be regarded as an independent era nor the revival of the Zhou Kingdom.It is neither fair nor possible to throw it away with artificial force.Logically, the Spring and Autumn Period should be extended. However, Mr. Kong Qiu’s power is too great. We have no power to extend it, so we have to make the Warring States Period connect with it, which should be reasonable.

——Although Mr. Sima Guang is not desirable, he edited one of the best history books in China.It was supposed to be connected to "Spring and Autumn", but he claimed that he did not dare to connect Mr. Kong Qiu's ass.The chronicle that came down from a whip was then hollowed out for seventy-seven years (480-404 BC).Mr. Bo Yang, with the heart of a villain, judged the belly of a gentleman, guessing that he might not be able to collect the historical materials of the seventy-seven years, so he pretended to be humble.If my old guess is wrong, then one thing must be right, that is, saints can do a lot of harm.

Closer to home.In 403 B.C., the government of Jin State, which had once been the overlord of China, was already very weak.The Zhao, Wei, and Han surnamed families began to divide.In that year, the dying Zhou Kingdom government exerted its surplus value.King Ji Wu (King Weilie of Zhou), after accepting the valuable bribes from the three families, named the patriarchs of the three families as monarchs respectively, and established three feudal states of Han, Zhao, and Wei.The King of Jin has only one city left, but he is like a slave. Looking at the colors of the three families, more than 30 years later, in the first 369 years, the three families simply took the last poor king of Jin, Mr. Ji Jujiu (Jin Huan Gong), one by one. After leaving the castle, he was demoted to a commoner, and the state of Jin perished.

After the Three Kingdoms were divided into Jin Dynasty, Zhao State (the capital of Handan, Hebei Province) was the strongest. Mr. Zhao Yong, the protagonist of this article, is the sixth king of the Zhao Kingdom. In 326 BC, he inherited the throne of his father, Mr. Zhao Yu (Suhou), and then rebuilt the kingdom.Therefore, although he is the sixth king of the Zhao Kingdom, he is the first king of the Zhao Kingdom. He is full of heroism and great ambition. He understands the geographical position of the Zhao Kingdom. Become a modern army.Traditional strategies and tactics as well as traditional weapons must be eliminated.
