When King Wuling of Zhao was in power, he promoted "Hufu riding and shooting" militarily, constantly pushing Zhao's military strength to grow stronger and stronger, becoming a powerful country in the middle and late Warring States period, and even competing with Qin. Later, Sun Yat-sen was swallowed up, Lin Hu and Lou Fan were defeated, three counties in Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun were opened up, and the "Zhao Great Wall" was built.
In the twenty-seventh year of King Wuling of Zhao (299 BC), King Wuling of Zhao abdicated the throne to his son, King Huiwen of Zhao, in order to concentrate on military affairs at the height of Zhao's prosperity, and he was honored as the "Father".
In the fourth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (the first 295 years), King Wuling of Zhao suffered from the chaos of sand dunes. He was besieged for three months and could not get food in the palace. He finally starved to death in the sand dune palace at the age of 45. After his death, the minister pursued "Wu Ling", and later generations honored him as King Zhao Wuling. After he established the prosperity of Zhao, the monarch of Zhao officially became king.
