Zhao Kuo never ignored anyone. Probably the Chinese people have awe for their ancestors engraved in their bones. Whether they are Qin people, Zhao people, nobles or Guizhou people, they are the beginning of the Chinese nation. Originally, they were just
Living in the blood, now, they are standing in front of Zhao Kuo. As enjoyers of the splendid civilization that grew up in them, why shouldn't they have some respect in their hearts?
What's more, among these millions of people, there is one, or perhaps many, who are Zhao Kuo's ancestors several generations ago. They share the same blood and stand with the same bones as Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo originally wanted to find Le Yi to ask him for advice on how to protect the Zhao people, but when he saw this old man who was shining in Chinese history, lying on the bed late in his life, he did not dare to come again.
These things are bothering him. Unlike Tian Dan, Le Yi is a Zhao. If he learns about the danger of Zhao, he will definitely be worried. At his age, he really shouldn't continue to be bothered by these things.
When he walked out of Leyi's courtyard, Zhao Kuo felt very heavy. No wonder the generals were willing to wrap their bodies in horse leather and die on the battlefield. Come to think of it, they all didn't want to be like Leyi. Zhao Kuo was about to get on the carriage when he saw Li Mu beside him.
Zhao Kuo lowered his head, feeling extremely depressed, and consoled him: "Everyone will grow old. It is not his blessing that General Le Yi can live to this age. You don't have to be depressed."
The young man raised his head, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. He said aggrievedly: "I am not robbing anyone."
"Hahaha~~" Zhao Kuo laughed, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and then said: "I heard that people who can be generals and prime ministers have a mind as broad as the sky. How could you be so
Do you care about such a trivial matter?" Being ridiculed by his idol made the young man feel really uncomfortable, but after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, he still nodded and did not think about it any more.
"By the way, Qi Jie, I have a very important thing to entrust to you."
"I'm not a robber!"
When he went to Le Yi's mansion, he was still very solemn, but on the way back, there was endless laughter and laughter. Probably these are young people who never keep heavy things in their hearts. Zhao Kuo did not go to Ying Yi.
He had a very important matter to attend to the person's mansion. The carriage drove directly towards Mafu. On the way, Zhao Kuo seriously explained to Li Mu what to do next.
"What Mr. Tian said is right. What needs to be done most now is to improve morale. Just as I said, let the soldiers know the Qin people's military merit system and inspire their will to fight. This is the most important thing at the moment.
I heard that soldiers who can survive three defeats without being disbanded can be called elites. Now we have experienced three defeats. Four lieutenants were captured and retreated for more than ten miles. However, the soldiers of Zhao State can still follow Lian Po.
The general holds the position, they are already elite."
"Your Majesty did not cut off their food and grass, and General Lian Po did not abuse them. The reason why they lost to Qin was largely because they had no will to continue fighting. As long as they have the ability to defend their country,
If they understand the tyranny of the Qin people, they may not be able to follow General Lian Po to repel the enemy." Zhao Kuo said, Li Mu nodded and said: "I will definitely act according to your instructions, but I don't know.
How should we let the soldiers know?"
What Zhao Kuo had just asked him to do was to ask him to find Lian Po and encourage the Zhao soldiers there.
Zhao Kuo didn't care, he said with a smile: "I heard that people with high positions don't have to do everything themselves. Only by putting the right people in the right positions can they do it. Don't worry,
I have a talented person under my command. If you take him there and let him stay among the Zhao army for a while, he will surely spread this incident and let everyone know about the tyranny of the Qin people."
As he spoke, he glanced at Di, who was not far away.
Li Mu was shocked. He followed his gaze and saw Di, and then asked: "There is such a talent?"
"No matter who is placed in the most suitable position, he will definitely shine like the sun."
"What about you? What is your most suitable position?" Li Mu asked curiously.
"Me, I don't know anything about military affairs or farming, so I can't be of much use. But I know a little bit about mathematics. I might be able to fulfill my duties as a village tax collector."
"You are too humble. I think that at home, you can serve as the prime minister of the country, and abroad, you can serve as the general."
.......
The sky was getting dark. Just when the carriage was about to arrive at Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo, who had sharp eyes, saw a man. He fell on the side of the road. His life or death was unknown. Zhao Kuo asked Ge to stop the car and go see if this man was alive.
Still alive, Ge got out of the car, squatted down, and pulled up the man on the ground. He was still alive. Judging from the split lips, it seemed that he had fallen here because he had not drank water for a long time.
This is a bit strange. There are obviously many villages around here. If you are thirsty, you will go to ask for water. There is no one who will not pour water for the guests on the journey. Some of the more hospitable places will entertain the passers-by and give them money.
Food, how could he end up in this situation? Without Zhao Kuo's instructions, Ge found a water bag. He seemed to be very experienced in these things. He carefully dropped some water on the man's mouth and wiped it with water.
Wiped his face.
Just a moment later, the man weakly opened his eyes.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Ge couldn't understand what he said. He turned around and looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo didn't understand either and was struggling. Fortunately, he stepped forward and talked with the man for a moment before looking at him.
Looking at Zhao Kuo, he said: "Young Master, he is from Yan, and he originally went to Handan to visit his relatives." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then ordered: "Show him the way and leave him some food.
"
Xing nodded and talked with the man for a while. The man's face gradually became solemn. He walked in front of Zhao Kuo, leaned down and bowed, took a deep look at him, and then got out of the way. Zhao Kuo continued on his way.
Xing walked aside and said, "He insisted on knowing your identity. I told him, and he got out of the way."
"Why do you speak the words of the Yan people? Also, is there such a big difference between the Yan people's words and the Zhao people's words?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Xing didn't say anything, but Di couldn't help but speak, he said: "Young Master, you don't know something. Xing committed a crime and escaped from Zhao State. He wandered around and visited many places. Back then, he was a
The notorious reputation of Handan generation..."
"Ahem..." Xing coughed hurriedly.
Di was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said no more. He just looked at the Yan man who was walking away and said: "I guess that person may be a desperado like Xing, but he is much worse than Xing."
Yes, I heard that I was lucky enough to kill someone back then, and I was living a pretty good life outside, and almost got an official position."
"Cough cough cough..." Xing coughed again, and then looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "Yan State also has many languages. He probably came from the far north, so the language gap is relatively large."
Zhao Kuo didn't ask any more questions.
When the carriage entered Mafu Township, more than a dozen of Zhao Kuo's retainers were already waiting outside the courtyard. They all paid homage to Zhao Kuo and then embraced him into the courtyard. Zhao Kuo first went to visit his mother, and then
Then he called Li Mu and Di into the room. The three of them sat at the banquet. Zhao Kuo was very serious.
He looked at Di and said seriously: "I have something to ask you to do."
When Di heard this, he immediately became serious and said, "Please give me your orders, young master. I will die for you."
"I think you can go to Shangdang County with Li Mu. Li Mu is going to see General Lianpo, but you need to complete the rest. The Qin people have a military merit system. The reason why they don't hate fighting is not because they want to fight.
The country seizes more land, but wants to get more heads to get rewards. If they defeat Zhao's soldiers, they will definitely kill all the soldiers because they need the heads."
"After that, they may massacre Zhao Guolai to get more heads."
"Now the Lord is afraid that something like this will happen, so he plans to reward all the soldiers after the war. As long as they can defeat the Qin people, money and land can be awarded to everyone. I hope you can bring this news to
The soldiers of the State of Zhao, let them know these things, protect the women and children who stayed in the State of Zhao, and at the same time protect themselves. In the current situation, the State of Zhao will retreat to Handan, and the Qin people will not get the heads.
I won’t let it go.”
"My father once said that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Only by bravely fighting the people of Qin can we protect ourselves, the people of Qin, and the country."
