Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Then Zhao Dan will find a way to solve these problems, so that the Zhao State cavalry becomes stronger, so that the cavalry, a unit that crosses the ages, can truly lead the Zhao State to the final victory.

In addition, Zhao Dan also hopes to get to know the Xiongnu through this northern tour, or to get to know the nomads in the desert in northern China.

As a traveler, Zhao Dan is very aware of how much suffering the nomads in this desert will bring to the Central Plains dynasty in the next few thousand years.

The darkest page in Chinese history, "Five Husbands in China", was caused by these ethnic groups from the desert who went south and took advantage of the troubled times of the Western Jin Dynasty.

If possible, Zhao Dan hopes to find a method, a method that can effectively solve the nomadic people in the desert and completely bring this desert into the territory of Zhao State.

As a time traveler, Zhao Dan, of course it does not mean that there are no examples to follow, but there is a good saying that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Sitting in the palace city of Handan, he slapped his head and issued an order, Of course, it has nothing to do with practice. On the contrary, it is very likely to become a joke like "why not eat minced meat".

So Zhao Dan had to go and see for himself, to get in touch with these nomads, maybe it would be helpful for Zhao Dan to figure out a way.

In order to guard against possible dangers, Zhao Dan specially brought five thousand cavalry from the Habayashi Army by his side.

With these [-] Habayashi Army cavalry by his side, Zhao Dan felt that unless he was suddenly surrounded by an army of [-] in an inescapable place like a canyon or mountain range, otherwise there should be no one in the world. able to take his own life.

Not to mention that among the [-] Royal Forest Army, there are a full [-] armored cavalry accompanying them.

Of course, Zhao Dan is not the kind of person who just walks away and then completely abandons government affairs.

According to Zhao Dan's order, after he leaves, Xiangbang Zhao Sheng will be in charge of political affairs, and Lian Po will be in charge of military affairs. If there is something that cannot be resolved, then temporarily suppress it and wait for Zhao Dan to come back to make a decision. If the matter is urgent, it cannot be resolved. If you wait, notify Zhao Dan immediately.

In addition, Zhao Dan also asked Miao Xian, who was staying in Miyagi, to send a report on the situation in Handan every three days, and asked Zheng Zhu, who is currently in a neutral state, to send a report every seven days.

Since the situation where the Gongzu faction and the commoner faction coexisted in Zhao Guo's political arena has basically been achieved, Zhao Dan feels that the measures he left behind should be enough.

As for the war with Qin, Qi and Wei, it will be at least next spring, and Zhao Dan will be able to return to Handan by autumn at most, so there is plenty of time.

So Zhao Dan was very relieved when he left.

Speaking of which, when Zhao Dan left Handan this time, besides [-] soldiers from the Habayashi Army, he only brought one more person with him.

This person is none other than the present Prince Zhao Heng.

Zhao Dan turned his head and said with a smile to Zhao Heng who was following him on horseback and looking around curiously: "Heng'er, do you know why I brought you with me on this northern tour?"

Today's Zhao Heng is just a ten-year-old boy who has not yet reached the age of crown ceremony. He has just reached the puberty stage, the fluff at the corner of his mouth is still very conspicuous, and his face is also very childish. He is wearing a light suit Hu Fu seemed very energetic.

Zhao Guo started his career with riding and shooting in Hufu, so he was very concerned about the riding training of the royal children, so even though Zhao Heng was only a young man, his riding skills were also very proficient.

After Zhao Heng heard Zhao Dan's question, he thought for a while, and then replied to Zhao Dan very honestly: "Back to the father, Heng'er really doesn't know why the father brought Heng'er to the north, but in Heng'er's eyes Come, father should want to show Heng'er the customs of the five northern counties."

Zhao Dan nodded, and said to Zhao Heng: "I really mean that."

After a pause, Zhao Dan turned his gaze to the north, and said to Zhao Heng, "Heng'er, you should know where is the north side of the Great Wall of Zhao Kingdom?"

Zhao Heng thought about it, and replied with some uncertainty: "Father, it should be a nomadic land for the Xiongnu, Donghu and other tribes."

Zhao Dan asked again: "So in your opinion, how should the Xiongnu and Donghu deal with it?"

Zhao Heng thought for a while, and then said: "Father, between the sons and ministers, the Xiongnu, Donghu and other tribes should be completely wiped out, and their territories should be merged into Zhao's territory.

Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the elder son beside him in astonishment, obviously never expecting that his usually gentle and humble elder son would say such aggressive words.

However, Zhao Dan quickly came to his senses. You must know that this was the Warring States period after all, and the mergers and wars between the princes were almost engraved in his bones.

The word expansion seems to be an innate gene for the princes of the Warring States Period.

In such a historical environment, it is not surprising that Zhao Heng can say such a thing.

Is this a good thing or not?I always feel that this kind of Zhao Heng is a bit different from the Zhao Heng that Zhao Dan wanted before.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and finally burst into hearty laughter.

"Heng'er, in the Book of Songs, it is said that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king. I hope you will remember this sentence and pass this sentence down from generation to generation until the true realization of this sentence." That day!"

Chapter 471 The Dune Palace Secret Meeting (First Update)

A few days later, Zhao Dan and his party came to the Dune Palace.

Dune Palace, this is a place that is famous even in history.

The terrain here is flat, the soil is mostly sandy, and hills are piled up everywhere, hence the name sand dunes.

Although the line of sight was cut off by the incomparably tall palace walls, anyone who saw this palace built on top of the sand dunes would still feel a sense of shock.

When this palace was built, at least Zhao Dan didn't know the answer in his heart, but the history of this palace is definitely very long, even dating back to the Shang Dynasty.

According to the records of Yin Benji in the Historical Records, during the period of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, the subjugated king of the Shang Dynasty once "Yiguang sand dune garden platform, took more wild animals and birds and put them in it. Slower than ghosts and gods. Great music in the sand dunes, with wine It is a pool, and the county meat is a forest, so that men and women will chase each other naked, and it will be the drink of the long night."

This is also the origin of the idiom "Jiuchi Meat Forest", which shows that the Dune Palace was already one of the palaces of King Zhou of Shang at that time.

Nearly a thousand years later, a change in the Dune Palace caused the son of Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan’s uncle Zhao Zhang to be killed. Zhao Dan’s grandfather, King Zhao Wuling, was trapped in the Dune Palace by his son Cheng and Li Dui and died of starvation. Zhao Guo, who was in its heyday after Hu Fu rode and shot, suffered a major setback.

If it weren't for this change in the Dune Palace, then the State of Zhao might even have launched an attack on the State of Qin in advance three or forty years ago.

At that time, Qin Wangji had just succeeded to the throne, so it was obviously impossible to be the opponent of the seasoned Zhao Wuling King in terms of experience and ability.

If this is the case, it is very likely that the Qin Qichu struggle for hegemony in the middle and late Warring States period will become Zhao Qichu's struggle for hegemony.

In fact, Zhao Dan also knew that the demise of the Qin Dynasty in history was actually closely related to the Dune Palace.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he also died in this dune palace during his fifth east tour. It was also in this dune palace that Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai Qin II directed a conspiracy that led to The deaths of Fusu and Mengtian also opened the prelude to the chaos in the late Qin Dynasty.

This is a magical place, so Zhao Dan felt that it was necessary for him to take a look at this place.

There is a nostalgic poem in the Dune Palace that says:

When I am free, I will pay tribute to the spring and autumn, and read the vicissitudes of life in a cup.

The native soldiers won a hundred battles, but they collapsed for a while.

Ancestor Long's domineering car expresses hatred, and his father's ambition is worrying in the palace.

Only the hazy sand is on the moon, and it still shines on the barren hills!

But what is in front of Zhao Dan at this moment is not a barren hill, but a serious palace.

Although it is said that the Dune Palace has undergone changes, the palace was not actually abandoned by Zhao Dan's father Zhao Huiwang. There are still many servants in the palace city, cleaning the palace city from time to time.

It was at dusk, the setting sun reflected the sky in the west into a golden red, and countless clouds were mischievously changing shapes in the sky. It brings a bit of strange and gorgeous color to this palace, which is extremely eye-catching at first glance, and it is extremely unforgettable.

Since it wasn't a private visit by Weibo, someone had already set up an outpost along the way to make a good announcement. Most of the [-] cavalry camped outside the palace for protection. Only Zhao Dan brought his son Zhao Heng and his bodyguard this time. The chief general Li Mu, deputy general Zhao Kuo and a few others rode their horses into the palace.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the lights were lit in the Dune Palace. Zhao Dan was walking all the way under the light of countless torches, and occasionally he could hear the howling of some animals, which did not come from the wild. It is an animal imprisoned in a cage in the garden of the Dune Palace.

After a while, Zhao Dan finally came to the main hall located in the center of the Dune Palace.
