楼烦 / Loufan

楼烦 / Loufan appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》65丨我穿越去给浪漫的楚王念首诗 when 赵武灵王 inspects Zhao’s northern frontier and meets a Loufan chieftain in the West River region. The episode says Zhao Wuling Wang recruits Loufan fighters after earlier recruiting Linhu troops in the 胡服骑射 reform sequence.

Loufan matters here as manpower and frontier expertise. The source treats the recruitment as another step in Zhao’s military strengthening: cavalry reform is not only clothing and technique, but also the incorporation of northern fighters into 赵国’s war capacity.
