Zhao Kuo left very simply. Fortunately and Li Yu were by his side and walked out of the courtyard. Ying Yiren did not stop him. He just watched Zhao Kuo leave quietly. After Zhao Kuo left the courtyard,
He took another sip of wine.
"Alas, I still underestimated him. With such a warrior in the Zhao Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy him."
However, the Qin people were eager for military success, so how could they let their enemies go? Ying Yiren shook his head, grabbed a leg of mutton, and ate it.
When he walked out of Ying Yiren's mansion, Zhao Kuo looked very angry. Li Yu had just arrived and he had never seen him so angry before. However, compared to the rough guys under Zhao Kuo's command, he still knew how to serve as a minister.
Li Yu was worried and escorted Zhao Kuo into the carriage and walked out of the city together. Li Yu asked: "What makes Shaojun so angry? If Zhao Yiren insults you, please let me kill him."
.”
"He didn't insult me."
"Please go back and tell my mother that I am going to Dongwu City and ask her not to worry. In addition, give instructions to the prison gate to be careful of Qin people's spies and carefully check the visitors coming in and out of Mafu Township.",
Zhao Kuo ordered, Li Yu was stunned, and then hurriedly stopped the carriage, bowed to Zhao Kuo and said: "After I surrendered to the young master, I did not make any achievements, but I enjoyed the hospitality of the young master."
"If you want to go to Tobu City, please take me with you. Even if I risk my life, I will solve your worries. Besides, Tobu City is not close. You will need food and a change of clothes during the journey. How can you not do enough, Shaojun?"
Are you ready to head to Tobu Castle?"
Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and then said: "Then do as you say." Ge then drove back to Mafu Township. Zhao Kuo's desire to go to Dongwu was not a whim. This was his original intention.
Just thinking about one thing, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, whose fiefdom is Dongwu City, he is going to visit Pingyuan Lord this time. Pingyuan Lord has a great reputation in Zhao State, although Zhao Kuo is now vaguely better than his predecessors.
His posture is famous in all directions, but in front of Lord Pingyuan, it is still a bit unsatisfactory.
Lord Pingyuan has a virtuous reputation, has thousands of followers, has a huge fortune, is as rich as any country, and has a wide network of contacts. He also has many friends in various countries. If there is someone who can save Zhao, then that person should not be
Zhao Kuo, it should be Zhao Sheng. Zhao Kuo has now noticed the most important problem. Lian Po is stationed near the Dan River and is facing a lot of troubles. The soldiers are not as elite as the Qin people, the food is not as abundant as the Qin people, and the soldiers have no war.
The heart will be incompetent.
Even in terms of information, the people of Qin are well aware of the situation in various countries, but the people of Zhao know nothing about the people of Qin. If Lian Po had not been reminded by himself, perhaps when Lian Po was replaced, he would not even have known that Bai Qi was going to replace Wang Lu.
General, Zhao Kuo does not want to watch hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers being killed. Even if this matter is beneficial to the unification of the world, Zhao Kuo is really unwilling to bear the trust and expectations of so many Zhao people.
Just sit back and do nothing.
Zhao Kuo thought for a long time. All he could do was to try his best to smooth the gap between the two sides so that Lian Po could resist with peace of mind. No matter how powerful the Qin State was, it would be impossible to put so many troops on the front line.
If we stay here for a few more years, I am afraid that Qin will not be able to hold it back. The gap in morale can be made up by other means, but the gap in food, Zhao Kuo has no way to conjure food out of thin air.
Already.
Therefore, the most important issue at present is the issue of food.
Although Zhao Kuo himself does not have food, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng does, and he knows many people. If Pingyuan Lord can be the main leader, he can mobilize the nobles of Zhao to support the Zhao soldiers on the front line with some food and grass.
Not only can it solve General Lian Po's urgent needs, but it can also reward the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone. However, the main problem lies with Lord Yu Pingyuan. Is he aware of Zhao's danger and is he willing to help?
According to rumors, Zhao Sheng has always been charitable and willing to help his friends. Zhao Kuo has only met him a few times and does not have a deep friendship with him. He dare not confirm this. After all, even him
Anyone can be said to be a general far superior to Lian Po. However, there is no doubt that Zhao Sheng has a very good relationship with his father, Zhao She.
When Zhao She was young, he was just a land official, responsible for collecting land rent. Zhao Sheng's family refused to pay taxes and used Zhao Sheng's name to threaten Zhao She. Zhao She was furious and killed the person in charge of Zhao Sheng's family.
Nine people, Zhao Sheng was very angry and sent someone to catch Zhao She and want to kill him. Zhao She said to him: "You are the son of Zhao State, but you want to condone your family members not to follow official duties, then the national law will be violated."
If it is weakened, Zhao will also be weakened."
"After the Zhao State becomes weak, the princes will definitely invade. In this case, the Zhao State will no longer exist. How can you continue to enjoy the wealth and honor you have today? With your dignity and reputation in the Zhao State, as long as you can abide by the law, everyone will follow suit."
, In this way, the State of Zhao will definitely become stronger, and the State of Zhao is so powerful, how dare others underestimate you, the young master of the State of Zhao?"
Zhao Sheng quickly released Zhao She. He felt that he was very talented and recommended him to King Zhao. King Zhao then made him responsible for the taxation of the entire country. Zhao She did a good job and had never been greedy.
This made the people of Zhao rich and the treasury abundant. From then on, the relationship between Zhao She and Zhao Sheng became very close. Before Zhao She passed away, he arranged for his retainers to join Zhao Sheng, which is enough to show the closeness between the two.
As Zhao She's son, Zhao Kuo felt that he should still have some status in Zhao Sheng's heart. Even for the sake of his father's face, he should listen to his ideas carefully.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo ordered Ge to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage, and came to the prison gate. The prison gate still looked a little dazed, as if he had not been able to get over the shock of his brother's death.
, Zhao Kuo held his hand and said seriously: "Zhao will win soon. When the time comes, I will personally find your brother for you and bury him."
The prison door was stunned, his eyes were red, and he grinned and said: "Is Ma Fuzi finally going to join the party? When you want to go there, please take me with you. I don't want to be an official anymore. I want to kill him."
Qin people."
Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment and then said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. I found that there are many Qin spies in Zhao State. I would like to ask you to be more vigilant and carefully check the people coming and going. Don't let Qin spies.
Sneak into Mafu Township."
The prisoner nodded heavily and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
After returning to the mansion, Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked Ge to prepare for going to Dongwu City, while he himself went to say goodbye to his mother.
"Are you going to meet Mr. Pingyuan?" Zhao's mother was a little surprised when she heard that. Then she said with a straight face: "Your father has a good relationship with Mr. Pingyuan. Your father is a person who pays great attention to face. If you bother Pingyuan with some trivial matters,
Jun, won't you lose your father's face? Even if Mr. Pingyuan helps you for your father's sake, it will disappoint your father. If he questions me in the future, how should I answer him?
"
"Jun Yan, this is not a trivial matter. This is a major matter related to the fate of the Zhao Kingdom. As the son of the Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Sheng, what will happen to him if the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed?"
Zhao's mother picked up her head, tapped Zhao Kuo's head gently, and said displeasedly: "Your father won't even call Lord Pingyuan by his first name!"
"So I am not the father, I am Zhao Kuo."
"Be careful on the road...I prepared some peaches for you. I originally thought...forget it, you can eat them on the road."
"I understand, Mr. Yan, please don't worry, I will be back soon."
............
A carriage appeared outside Handan. There was no one in the carriage. There was only a burly man driving the carriage. He looked dusty. His clothes were somewhat torn, his lips were cracked, his face was pale, his expression was dazed, and he kept talking.
He was muttering something. When passers-by saw him, they hurriedly avoided it, a little scared. If they could get closer, they could hear him repeating a sentence.
"The only thing Qin fears is Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, as his general..."
"The only thing Qin fears is Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, as his general..."
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw the city of Handan standing in front of him. Suddenly, big tears slid down his face. He waved his riding whip and shouted loudly to the empty car behind him: "
Master! Please sit tight! We are arriving in Handan!!"
