The State of Zhao

Name Zhao
Capital Kantan
Location(s) China

The State of Zhao, (趙 ,Zhào), is located on the northern border of China. Their capital city is Kantan.

History[]

The state of Zhao was created by the legendary king known as Wu following the partition of Jin once the latter had undergone a brutal civil war. Zhao has always been fighting against the other warring states and is a power to be reckoned with as their Three Great Heavens have fought the Six Great Generals of Qin on multiple occasions in the past.

Zhao gains the Wei region of Hanyou by conquest sometime close to Ren Pa's defection to Wei.

A large-scale battle occurred between Great General Ren Pa and Gaku Jou due to Ren Pa's refusal of the king's decree to strip him of his rank. Ren Pa's 8,000 men won against Gaku Jou's 50,000, the latter forced to yield to Ren Pa who spared his life. Ren Pa went to Wei to seek asylum and was welcomed by its king Kei Bin.

Zhao holds a grudge against Qin because of the horrors they suffered at Chouhei, 19 years before the story, where many of their surrendered soldiers were slaughtered by being buried alive by Qin forces. 400,000 Zhao men were buried alive by Haku Ki of Qin's Six Great Generals at Chouhei and their male relatives later formed into troops led by General Man Goku.

Story[]

The state of Zhao sent an army of 120,000 troops to invade Qin which was currently occupied with conquering cities in the weak state of Han. The army was led by Hou Ken and several notable generals, two of which, led the initial invasion force to conquer the Qin border cities of Baou and Bayou. The Zhao retreated after killing the last living member of the Six Great Generals of Qin as that was their main reason for invading Qin.

An incident brought about by Ryo Fui forced the Zhao king to send the newly appointed Prime Minister, Ri Boku to Qin which led to an alliance between the two states.

After the Qin took over the region of Sanyou, Zhao attacks the state of Yan with 100,000 troops. In 242 BC, General Geki Shin is defeated by Zhao General Hou Ken who captures 20,000 Yan soldiers as prisoners.

Culture[]

Not much is known about the culture of Zhao but given how they are surrounded by hostile states to the south, east, and west, they are a formidable martial oriented country with a decently large population to recruit from to hold their enemies at bay. In addition, due to constant raids from the Northern Horseman Tribes to the north, they were forced to develop advanced cavalry tactics to confront them.

Government[]

The state has a monarchy, and the current king of Zhao was Tou Jou, a deviant with a twisted personality. After being crowned king in his youth, one of his first orders was to strip the famous great general Ren Pa of his rank and title due to hating him for speaking out against him.

Trivia[]

  • Ei Sei, the 31st king of Qin, was born in Zhao and lived there until the age of 9 as a political hostage before escaping to Qin and becoming its crown prince at the age of 13. During his time in Zhao, he was hated by its people who would viciously abuse him due to their rage towards the massacre of Chouhei.
  • King Burei once snuck into the Qin capital of Kanyou to personally pay his respects to their King, Sho of Qin.
