After the battle of Changping, Zhao lost hundreds of thousands of young and strong soldiers, but he still struggled for 38 years. Then why did Zhao live with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people for 38 years after losing all the active combat forces in the country on the base? I think this is mainly because there were many famous soldiers in Zhao's later period. Under the correct command of these famous soldiers, Zhao was able to survive for 38 years.

In fact, if Zhao didn't listen to Qin's rumors and Zhao Kuo didn't replace Lian Po in the battle of Changping, it is still unknown whether more than 400,000 troops will be lost and whether Qin can finally unify the seven countries. After the defeat of Zhao in the battle of Changping, Yan attacked Handan. In the Battle of Handan, Zhao Wang re-appointed Lian Po, and Lian Po also led a group of old, weak and sick people in Zhao to resist the Yan army who came to steal peaches and even reached the capital of Yan State. Later, Lian Po fled to Wei for committing crimes, and Zhao was still replaced by a general. Later generations led the army to continue to resist the invading Yan Army and Qin Jun.

In addition to Zhao, there was a more powerful person in the same period, and that was Li Mu. In addition, fortunately, Tian Lei, a famous soldier of Qin State, was executed by Qin State for opposing the orders of the King of Qin. In this short period of time, there is no famous player of Qin State to defeat Li Mu of Zhao State, so Zhao State has also got a chance to continue to exist.

However, the Prince of Zhao had the precedent that Lian Po dismissed Lian Po because of listening to rumors, which led to the fiasco of the battle of Changping. The prince of Zhao still does not repent. Later, Li Mu was removed from his post because the prince of Zhao no longer trusted him. In this way, Zhao lost the greatest reliance against Qin, and was soon destroyed by Qin. Therefore, the decline of Zhao from a powerful country is not without reason.
