Perhaps we can find several threads from the life trajectories of King Wuling of Zhao and Tuoba GUI. As for who is better, everyone has their own comparison.
Zhao Wuling's life
King Wuling of Zhao was an extraordinary monarch of Zhao in the Warring States Period, and what he did was also extraordinary. ? King Wu Lin? This title is praised by later generations. Wu Ling? Was it given to posthumous title after his death when he was alive? Jun? In proportion.
He did three great things when he was in office. Destroy Zhongshan, Khufu, ride and shoot, abolish the prince and establish a new king? The first two pieces were beautifully made, and the last one committed suicide.
King Wuling of Zhao is the son of Zhao Suhou. After the death of Su Hou, several neighboring countries coveted Zhao and wanted to carve it up at the funeral. This matter was skillfully solved through the careful defense of the new superior king Zhao Wuling. The young King Wuling of Zhao has shown the basic conditions of being a king of a country, such as fearlessness, perseverance and wisdom.
At that time, there was a Zhongshan State in Zhao. Zhongshan is a country founded by Bai Di. Except that there is a narrow passage in the north connected with Yan State, the rest are surrounded by Zhao State, like a wedge into Zhao State, and they often conspire with Qi State in the east to plot against Zhao State. More importantly, the existence of Sun Yat-sen makes the traffic in Handan and Hehe, the two major cities of Zhao, very inconvenient, and every trip has to go around a big circle, making it difficult for the Zhao regime to control, and separatist forces often move here.
Besides, Zhao is different from the other six countries. There are two large nomadic tribes in the northwest, Hulin and Loufan. They are really annoying and often harass Zhao Bian. Moreover, unlike the other six countries, the northern part of Zhao is mainly nomadic and centered, while the southern part is mainly agricultural and centered on Han.
This is very difficult. Two cultures and two modes of production will inevitably produce contradictions. At the same time, although the discipline of Hulin and Loufan tribes is loose, the cavalry fighting capacity is very strong, so King Wuling of Zhao has the idea of building a cavalry unit that can be controlled by himself. With the deepening of reform, cavalry has become the most important arms of Zhao because of its impact and motive power far higher than that of infantry, and unexpected benefits have emerged. Farming culture and nomadic culture gradually merged in Zhao, and Zhao became the only country with nomadic culture among the seven countries.
At that time, several great powers around Zhao were fighting endlessly, and Zhao became the most powerful country. Even Yan Zhaohou and Qin Dou were promoted to the throne by Zhao. The powerful Zhao cut off the passage between Zhongshan and Yan State and occupied Zhongshan in one fell swoop.
Let's talk about how King Wuling of Zhao committed suicide. His eldest son, Zhao Zhang, has been made a prince, but King Wuling of Zhao also has a son named Zhao He, who was born to him and his second queen, Wu Wa. King Wu Ling loved Wu Wa very much and felt particularly indebted after her death, so he abolished Zhao Zhang and gave the throne to Zhao He, who was in his prime. It was an accident.
Later, King Wuling of Zhao, unwilling to be lonely, wanted to take back the kingship. But at this time, King Wuling of Zhao was full-fledged, and he lost control of the country. He acquiesced in Zhao Zhang's regaining the throne from his brother. After the failed coup, Zhao Zhang was killed, and King Wuling of Zhao was trapped in Dune Palace for three months, without food and water, and starved to death. What a tragedy!
