Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh cold winter bleak
In the process of preparing for the war, something happened.
Zhao Kuo's driver, Ge, passed away.
The elderly Ge was paralyzed for a long time. In the cold winter of this year, he slept peacefully and never got up again. When the retainer responsible for taking care of him found out about this, he hurriedly notified Zhao who lived next door.
Zhao Kuo had already had a premonition in his heart that Ge's health was getting worse and worse. He couldn't eat anything in recent days and was so thin that he was out of shape. However, when this day really came, it was still so hard to accept.
.
Many years later, Zhao Kuo never forgot that morning.
It was a morning with light snowfall. He was eating when he learned a bad news. Zhao Kuo couldn't remember the rest. Only Yi could remember Zhao Kuo's desperate and painful look. Zhao Kuo sat in silence for a long time.
, Breathing deeply, Yi saw him struggling to get up, but his whole body seemed to be exhausted. Yi rushed up, she cried, grabbing Zhao Kuo's shoulders, and she didn't know where the strength came from, and she helped him.
The tall Zhao Kuo stood up.
"Kuo..." Yi cried and hugged the man in front of her tightly.
Zhao Kuo hugged her with both hands, his eyes were dull, and he could no longer hide the tears on his face.
Zhao Kuo saw Ge for the last time. The old Ge was curled up with his brows furrowed. He didn't look relaxed at the last moment of his life. When he came to this world, he hated Ge very much. Mr. Ge
He likes to ridicule everyone, he looks down on everyone, and he will target Zhao Kuo everywhere. He stares at Zhao Kuo with his eyes. As long as Zhao Kuo does something wrong, he will be the first to stand up and accuse him.
Some people say that he was not accepted by Lord Pingyuan because of his character... But that doesn't seem to be the case. Gongsun Long, who once followed Lord Pingyuan, told Zhao Kuo that he had never seen anyone as stubborn as Ge. When Zhao She let him
His followers went to follow Lord Pingyuan and left handwritten letters, which were proof of their allegiance to Lord Pingyuan. Almost all of them left. Only a stubborn old man tore the handwritten letters into pieces and killed the followers who were about to leave.
Scold them away one by one.
He chose to stay and take care of Ma Fujun's young son.
He always uses Ma Fujun as a benchmark to make demands on his young Ma Fuzi. He cannot let his best friend Ma Fujun down. He wants to take care of his son on behalf of Ma Fujun. However, as Ma Fujun gets older, he hates this situation more and more.
Targeting his old man... until Zhao Kuo arrived. Zhao Kuo did not hate him. Zhao Kuo always regarded him as his family in his heart. He was like an old father. He told Zhao Kuo what to do and what not to do.
This is what you should do, from childhood to adulthood.
Ge is an excellent driver. He is fearless. He can drive his chariot all the way to the enemy's flag. He can also rely on his driving skills to destroy enemy chariots one after another. Unfortunately, Ge still loses.
Time has passed, and the bravery in his youth made him unable to move anymore in his old age. Until his death, he could not board his favorite chariot again, the chariot Du built for him.
The old horse he was riding on had died of illness long ago, but no one told him.
Birth, old age, illness and death are a cycle, which is normal. Zhao Kuo comforted himself in this way, but for some reason, he just couldn't stop the tears... Zhao Kuo personally mourned Ge Fa, and it was particularly important in his life to send him off.
People and Zhao Kuo's former disciples also came to see him off. The first one to come was Di. Di and Ge had been quarreling for most of their lives. The words "old thief" and "barbarian" made them fight until now.
Zhao Kuo could barely control himself, but Di couldn't. He walked into the courtyard crying like a child. This is Di's character. He never hides any of his emotions. Even though Di is now
The same was true for the eldest father of several children. No one could persuade him. Di knelt down in front of Ge and burst into tears. Zhao Kuo stood beside him and shed tears again.
Fortunately, Wang Fan, Ming Dynasty, and even Li Yu, who served as the county guard, came to Xianyang. These former disciples of Zhao Kuo, these warriors, they have now adapted to the environment of the Qin State, and they have settled down and settled down happily. However,
They still miss Mafu Township very much, where they had no wealth, no children, no status, and no power, but they still miss it very much.
The carnival in Ma Fu Township, Ge and Di sword fighting, Li Mu and Xin Jiao Du, Ping Gong's singing, Dong Chengzi's funny dance steps... Ma Fuzi's carefree smile. Familiar wind, familiar
earth, familiar water.
Everyone gathered around, and the rest were kicked out. Sitting next to Ge's grave, Zhao Kuo looked at the guests on the left and right. Zhao Kuo's eyes were red. He asked about everyone's situation, and everyone answered one by one. Everyone talked about
They talked about family and career, but no one sang loudly, and no one wanted to dance. What is surprising is that they have never forgotten Zhao Guo’s Handan accent, and it was not just who started talking about Handan accent.
Immediately, everyone's accent also changed.
Di wiped away his tears and laughed. He was the one who cried the most sadly, and he was the first to recover. He said: "My friends from back then can only see each other at the funeral now, but not
Knowing my funeral, are there people crying for me?" Zhao Kuo glared at him and said, "No nonsense!" Xing looked at him seriously and said, "I will definitely cry."
"Haha, with your current body shape, you are several times fatter than Dong Chengzi back then. I don't know which one of us will cry and which one will cry!"
"Why, just after Ge left, you came to me?"
"I didn't like you that much either!"
"Hahaha, if Ge is still there, he will definitely make you speechless!"
He looks like he's crying, maybe he's smiling like that." Li Yu nodded and agreed: "Actually, this is not the first time for Di. Several times before, when Mr. Ge was seriously ill, Di came crying.
Meet him."
"That's not right, aren't you in the Party? How do you know this?" Di asked angrily.
Li Yu looked at Fu Zhao and then said, "Fu told me."
Zhao Fu was so betrayed that he naturally began to curse Li Yu for being untrustworthy... The atmosphere seemed to have returned to decades ago. Zhao Kuo looked at these people joking and teasing, shaking his head helplessly. He raised his head and looked again
I took a look at Ge Gong's grave. If he was still there... that would be great.
After saying goodbye reluctantly, everyone left, and Zhao Kuo saw them off personally. Back in the courtyard, the family was not feeling very well. Like Zhao Kuo, Yi regarded Ge Gong as his own.
She is also in great pain with her family, but she is much happier. She can cry loudly and vent her inner pain, and her children and husband will comfort her.
It can be seen that Kang is not in a good mood. Over the years, Ge has doted on him very much and always told him stories about the past. However, Zheng is even more sad than him. Zheng almost grew up in his hands.
After learning the news of Ge's death, the strong King Qin finally shed tears. His new wife kept comforting him. The new queen from Chu State saw King Qin's emotional fluctuations for the first time since marrying him.
Before that, King Qin was like an indifferent machine. It was difficult to see happiness or other expressions on his face. This made the queen a little scared for a period of time and did not dare to get close to him. But
, Facts have proved that even the most powerful king has a weak side. The queen seemed to see King Qin's heart all of a sudden, she was no longer afraid, she took the initiative to hug King Qin, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
The queen of Chu was called Ming. When King Qin was most sad, Ming also played a role as his wife.
Zhao Kuo did not tell Zhao's mother about Ge Gong. Her mother looked in a daze. Zhao Kuo did not want her to fall into grief. Shan has grown up now, and she will no longer secretly leak secrets like she did when she was young, but she
He would still coax his parents to make them happy. At the end of the cold winter, Qin State started farming again. After the farming, it was a large-scale military operation against Wei State.
At this moment, Wei Guo was feeling equally uncomfortable.
In the palace, King Wei sat dejectedly on the throne, looking at Lord Long Yang beside him, but he was speechless. The ambitious King of Wei at the time also became a little irritable after experiencing several years of setbacks.
He is becoming more and more like his deceased father, eager to make Wei Guo strong... But at present, King Wei can hardly see any hope. Wei Guo's enemies are too powerful, and Wei Guo has lost
All opportunities to become stronger.
Because of King Wei's behavior of buying and selling talents, no one was willing to serve Wei.
And because of Wei's defeats over the years, there was a serious shortage of officials in the country, and King Wei's orders could not reach places. King Wei tried all kinds of reforms, but they were all ineffective. Today's Wei has even caught up with South Korea back then.
, even weaker than Korea back then, and all they could rely on was the solid Daliang City. King Wei lived in such despair every day, unable to eat, unable to sleep at night, and he was going crazy.
Already.
But at this moment, Long Yangjun brought even worse news.
"Are you telling the truth? Meng Wu has arrived at Qi State? Are the two countries going to attack Wei State together?"
Longyang Jun looked at Wei Zeng in front of him and felt very unbearable, but he still said helplessly: "That's it. This is the information I bought from Qi State at a huge cost... None of the ministers in Qi State are helpless.
Those who take bribes...their original position was obtained through bribery, so it is not difficult to find out what is going on in Qi by spending some money..."
"Qin Qi Alliance... Qin Qi Alliance..." Wei Zeng murmured. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Can we ask for help from other countries? Where is Zhao State? Where is Chu State?" Long Yangjun said seriously.
He said: "I have sent envoys to various countries to ask for help. The State of Zhao promised to send troops, but the State of Chu did not agree. Li Yuan killed our envoys. I am afraid that the Qin people have already known that their plans have been leaked."
..”
Wei Zeng lowered his head and said nothing.
"Your Majesty... don't worry. Zhao and Wei can still organize a lot of armies. With Zhao's Wu Chengjun commanding the army, we can still fight even if we face Qin and Qi.
...As long as I am still alive, I will definitely stop them..." Lord Long Yang said solemnly.
Wei Zeng smiled bitterly. He raised his head, his eyes full of despair, "How to stop them? The richest country and the most powerful country... just blocked it this time, so what will you do next time? You
"How can I protect the Wei State?" The Qin State was approaching step by step. Wei Wangzeng tried all his methods. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Lord Long Yang in front of him, hoping that Lord Long Yang could tell him.
The road ahead of him, how should he go about it?
Just like the King of Chu, any king with some conscience will be tortured by such a situation.
Because they would not cover their eyes and pretend that they could not see the future, King Wei opened his eyes and saw a future without any chance. Long Yangjun said seriously: "The Wei people I know, no matter what they encounter,
No matter what setbacks you encounter, you will never bow your head. Your father is like this, your father-in-law is like this, your ancestors are like this, and every Wei person living in this land is like this."
"Wei will fight to the end. Even if there is only one Wei left in the end, he will definitely destroy our enemy. Even if he dies, he will die on the road of crusade!"
Long Yangjun said loudly: "Your Majesty, please give the order to prepare for war!"
The King of Wei did not become excited by Long Yangjun's encouragement. He just said calmly: "Then I invite you to take charge of the war." Long Yangjun solemnly accepted the tiger talisman and left the palace.
Sitting alone in the palace, King Wei was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but take out the books. These were all books given to him by his teacher when he left Xianyang.
Wei Zeng opened the book and recalled the scene when the teacher was lecturing them, but he couldn't help but shed tears on the bamboo slips, and even the handwriting became a little blurry...
After the State of Qin learned that its intelligence was leaked from the State of Chu, in order to prevent Zhao and Wei from making arrangements in advance, they quickly sent out troops, but with Wang Jian as general, they marched directly into Hanoi. If the State of Zhao wanted to go to the State of Wei, either from the direction of Shangdang
A detour, or a detour from Hanoi. Of course, Hanoi is closer to Wei, so Wang Jian is stationed here. If Li Mu wants to attack Shangdang, he can attack Handan directly from Hanoi.
Wang Jian brought out a total of 150,000 troops, which was considered the main force of the Qin State. Even Li Mu could not underestimate the Qin army of this size. And Wang Jian, the more troops he commanded, the more likely he would be.
The more capable they are of fighting... Qin's sudden dispatch of troops really shocked both Zhao and Wei. Long Yangjun of Wei hurriedly began to gather troops to deal with Wang Jian's possible attack.
King Zhao also hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss the response strategy.
