King Zhao was really angry. He said angrily: "I heard that in Qin, anyone who speaks rudely and disrupts the determination of his army during the war will be executed!" Yu Qing shook his head and said: "What if?
If your Majesty had followed Qin's example early and implemented laws like Qin's, there would not have been a situation like this today." After saying that, he turned and left regardless of the shocked faces of several people present.
Faced with such rude behavior, King Zhao blushed with anger and shouted: "Where are the palace warriors?!"
But when the warriors guarding the palace came to King Zhao, King Zhao was still unable to give the order. His face changed, and after hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said, "The reason why Yu Qing said that is because of the State of Zhao." He said
Looking at Zhao Bao aside, he said: "Yu Qing's words are also reasonable. I want to send envoys to Qin, and I also want to send envoys to the surrounding countries in the same way."
Zhao Bao leaned over and said: "Among my retainers, there are many people who are good at talking and debating. They can convince others of their words. Please send some of them to various countries to ask for their help."
.......
Since the trip to Handan, for some reason, the guests all felt that their young master had changed. He actually started reading again. Since the assassination incident, Zhao Kuo had not touched a book for a long time. Everyone was surprised.
I was very surprised, because this Ma Fuzi's biggest hobby is reading. He can read any book, but his favorite is the art of war, most of which were left to him by Zhao She.
Sitting on his knees in the room, holding a bamboo slip, Zhao Kuo read these art of war seriously. His predecessor had probably read these books countless times. Zhao Kuo found that he could even recite these contents backwards and forwards, and there was no unfamiliarity at all.
One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, I will conquer the world." Before he read the next sentence, Zhao Kuo had already thought of what was written in the next column, and he put down the bamboo slips in his hand helplessly.
Zhao Kuo could never forget the young soldier in Handan City. Unknowingly, the Qin people praised him as the hope of the Zhao people. Zhao Kuo felt that the eyes of admiration and admiration were extremely dazzling.
Dare to look him in the eye, because he is the only one who knows that he is not Tian Dan of the Zhao Kingdom. He cannot be the savior. Instead, he will harm the hundreds of thousands of Zhao people who trust him. He does not deserve such respect and trust.
"Sorry, Kuo is just an ordinary person without ability."
Zhao Kuo walked out of the room and stood at the door, silently looking into the distance.
At some point, Di came in, looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Shaojun, the Duke Ping next door is here to visit." Zhao Kuo was stunned and said, "What are you doing to stop him? Just let him in directly."
." Zhao Kuo walked to the door in a few steps. In this era, the relationship between neighbors was still very good. The man next door, Ping Gong, was a good friend with his father Zhao She. Ping Gong's wife Yiyu would also come here occasionally.
Looking for Zhao's mother, they both got married here from a small town called Lie, and they have a very good relationship.
When he walked to the door, not only Ping Gong, but also his wife Yiyu were standing beside him. In Zhao Kuo's opinion, the two old men looked very much like a couple, they were equally kind, and they squinted their eyes when they smiled.
It is kind to be seen. Zhao Kuo hurriedly visited Ping Gong and met Yi Yu. Yi Yu was very happy when she heard Zhao Kuo's voice. She had been blind a few years ago and could not see.
"Ever since Yan Jun went to Mafu Mountain, Duke Ping has never been here. Is it because he is afraid that I am young and don't know how to entertain guests?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile. Duke Ping still leaned on his mulberry stick. Zhao Kuo said: "I'm just worried about disturbing your study." Zhao Kuo asked them to sit down. In this era, when guests came to visit, there were no cumbersome etiquette like later. You only need to ask the guest to sit down, and there is no need to prepare food or drink for him. .
"When will your mother come back?" Yiyu asked.
"I'll be back in seven or eight days."
"Please let me know when she comes." Yiyu ordered, and Zhao Kuo agreed. Speaking of which, the surnames during the Warring States Period were really weird. For example, this Yiyu, her last name was not Yi, and her surname was not Yi. , this is the surname of her husband, Ping Gong.
After Zhao Kuo agreed to Yiyu, Duke Ping told us the reason for his visit. Duke Ping said: "I am old and my eyesight is blurry, so I would like to ask you to help me tell us the contents of this book. "Ping Gong handed Zhao Kuo a bamboo slip with seals on it. Naturally, Zhao Kuo would not refuse this trivial matter. He picked up the family letter and read it for them both.
Their family has two sons, both of whom are now living in Danhe. Zhao Kuo and these two have been playing together since childhood, and they can be considered good friends. Nothing happened to them, and the family letter only asked the two old people to take care of them. Zhao Kuo was in good health and expressed his longing for them again. Zhao Kuo also breathed a sigh of relief. The two old men listened carefully. Ping Gong smiled happily, while Yi Yu kept wiping her tears.
After Zhao Kuo finished reading, Ping Gong carefully put away the bamboo slips. After thanking him again and again, he left. Ping Gong stretched out his hand and took his blind wife, and the two walked toward their courtyard talking and laughing. Zhao Kuo Watching them leave, for some reason, I felt a little envious. Even Di on the side showed a knowing smile. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Young Master, I also want to get married."
Even if you want to start a family, someone has to take a liking to you first, right?

"I heard that the Zhao people want to negotiate peace and want to send Zheng and Zhu to Qin. What does Uncle Fan think?" King Ze of Qin is probably the oldest of all the kings today. He is already sixty. Youliu doesn't look old at all. He has a burly physique. Even though he has lost some weight with old age, he still looks very strong. He has a long beard and looks very majestic.
Yinghou Fan Ju was sitting in front of him. Yinghou was probably King Qin's most trusted minister and his favorite confidant. After hearing King Qin's inquiry, Fan Ju said with a smile: "I think this is a good thing."
"Uncle Fan once taught me to contact distant countries and attack neighboring countries. Now is the time to defeat Zhao and acquire a large amount of land. How can we accept Zhao's peace proposal?" King Qin asked with some confusion.
Fan Ju shook his head and said: "What the king said is wrong. Now is not the time to defeat the Zhao State, but the time to destroy the Zhao State. Therefore, I ask the king to write a letter to General Wang Lu and ask him to stop attacking the Zhao people. I sent people to meet Zheng Zhu and escorted him all the way to the king. I asked the king to treat Zheng Zhu with the same attitude as a talented person, and ordered that no one should insult him or hurt him, so that the people of Qin would respect him."
King Qin was very surprised. He said solemnly: "I have also seen Zheng Zhu. He does not have the talent you mentioned, Uncle Fan, and he is not worthy of such a welcome." Fan Ju stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, don't say that. If your Majesty wants to defeat the Kingdom of Zhao, you must show your importance to Zheng Zhu and your desire to end the war."
"The State of Zhao is a big country, with cities thousands of feet long and towns with thousands of families everywhere. It is not an easy task to defeat the State of Zhao. And the defeat of the State of Zhao will all depend on Zheng Zhu."
, Fan Ju said, stood up again, and said: "Please follow my plan, let Wang Hao stop attacking, and send someone with a carriage to respectfully welcome Zheng Zhu to the palace."
King Qin said helplessly: "I can agree to Uncle Fan, but I also have requirements."
"I will order to stop attacking Zhao State, and I will treat Zheng Zhu respectfully. However, I don't want others to see this matter. I am afraid that such behavior will damage the soldiers' will to fight and shake the soldiers.
Determination to defeat the State of Zhao."
Fan Ju shook his head and said: "No, this is something that must be known to others. Please follow my plan."
"If the plan fails, please punish me."
King Qin did not hesitate anymore and said resolutely: "Just do what you want, Uncle Fan."
