This is Changping, and this is Zhao Kuo’s nightmare.
Danshui is like a jade belt tied around the waist of Shangdang County. This jade belt is not big, and the water flow is not fast. When Zhao Kuo and Li Mu arrived here, a bridge had been built on the river, and the bridge was not very fast.
It was so wide that carriages could not pass. Li Mu gave instructions, and the soldiers began to transport grain and grass from the carriages. They carried them on their backs and were about to cross the river. On the other side of the river, there was already a carriage waiting.
Zhao Kuo stood aside, looking a little uneasy.
The controllers also helped these soldiers transport food. When the food arrived, their mission was completed. Several people found Zhao Kuo and said, "I don't dare to keep the master waiting for a long time. Please allow us to leave."
Zhao Kuo looked at them and said: "The second and third sons have been very tired on the journey. Please let me host a banquet for you all. Let's talk about separation again. What do the second and third sons think?"
They looked solemn, shook their heads, and said: "These are our missions and must be completed. If we are rewarded for the missions we are supposed to complete, we will be ridiculed. Please let us leave."
", Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Since the second and third sons are not willing to stay for a long time, then wait for a while and return alone. I am worried that the second and third sons will be ambushed by the Qin people, so it is better to return with everyone."
These drivers had also experienced an ambush. After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, they also felt that this was the truth, so they were no longer in a hurry to leave. Li Mu wanted to take Zhao Kuo to see Lian Po, but Zhao Kuo wanted to be here.
Seeing that all the food had been transported, Li Mu had no choice but to stay with him here. Although there was a lot of food, there were also a lot of soldiers. Another group of people appeared in the distance. They were different from Li Mu. Li Mu was here.
Those who welcomed Zhao Kuo were here to receive food.
When all the grain and grass were transported to the other side, the carriages were also empty. In this era, not everyone could ride in a carriage. The carriage was the exclusive property of the nobles, and ordinary people rode ox-carts. In other countries, if you want to get together like this
It is quite difficult to build a carriage team, but that is not the case in Zhao State. Zhao State has been exporting horses for many years. In this northern country, cattle are more precious than horses.
The charioteers and knights who followed along the way felt relieved when they looked at their empty carriage. Then, they all looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo stepped forward and everyone gathered around him.
Next to him, Zhao Kuo said loudly: "I heard that in difficult times, even if you receive a small favor from others, you should repay it twice as much. Now that I have received a huge favor from you, I really don't know how to repay the two or three sons!"
"
"Please don't say that, we can't help you."
"If I didn't have two or three sons to escort me, I wouldn't be able to get here alive. How can this not be regarded as a favor?" Zhao Kuo took the hand of Zhao Fu beside him and said seriously: "Before you leave, I have to give instructions.
A few things for you." Fu Zhao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Please give me your instructions."
"This time you are escorting these charioteers back. When you pass by the horse suit on the way, please pray for my countrymen's safety. In addition, please tell my mother that these charioteers and knights are all kind to me.
"The meritorious people who killed the enemy should be rewarded. Please use her family's money to reward these people."
Zhao Fu said hurriedly: "We can't ask for your reward."
Zhao Kuo frowned and asked displeasedly: "Do you look down on my reward from Zhao Kuo?"
Zhao Fu lowered his head helplessly and said: "I will obey your order." Zhao Kuo then looked at everyone, bowed and said: "Originally, I wanted to hold a banquet to entertain the second and third sons, but Kuo is also away from home. I am a person who can understand how the second and third sons miss their family. I can only say goodbye like this. Please take care of yourself along the way!"
Zhao Fu hurriedly helped him up, refusing to accept his great gift. Everyone immediately bowed and bid farewell to Zhao Kuo in tears. Li Mu looked on with dumbfounded eyes. The people's cries even alarmed the soldiers across the river. They also Looking here in surprise, Zhao Fu led the people and left reluctantly. Before leaving, Zhao Kuo told him many times to be careful on the road and be careful of Qin attacks.
After seeing these people off, the sky became a little gloomy. Zhao Kuo and Li Mu walked to the other side of the river, followed by Ge and Xing.
"Mafuzi!!"
"Mafuzi!!"
Just after crossing the bridge, there was this deafening shout. Tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers gathered on the other side of the river, raising their arms and shouting. They stared at the savior in the distance with fanatical expressions, just like those who saw it in later generations. The girl he idolized, Zhao Kuo, smiled at them. Suddenly, the shouts became even louder. They were extremely excited, their faces turned red, and many of them even shed tears.
Li Mu whispered to the side: "Brother, your reputation here is already high. Later, Di has been promoting your deeds here, and now they have sent so much food. I think if you were a general, they would sacrifice their lives." Fight to the death for you.”
Zhao Kuo was speechless, just paused, and then continued to move forward. Li Mu just looked at the excited soldiers around him and shook his head. General Lian Po has done so much to boost morale these days, but he is not as good as his elder brother. Smile, brother is really a god.
A young captain came from the front. He walked up to Zhao Kuo, his face was red, and he was speechless. He looked at Zhao Kuo with eyes full of reverence. Li Mu snorted coldly and looked away. That man Then he said: "Sima Shang pays homage to Ma Fuzi! Is Ma Fuzi okay?" Zhao Kuo helped him up, and then said: "I am okay." This Sima Shang was obviously Zhao Kuo's child. Confused brother said hurriedly: "General Lian Po asked me to take you to see him."
On the way to Changping City, Zhao Kuo rode his horse and passed several camps. Without exception, after hearing the news of Ma Fuzi's arrival, the soldiers in all these camps gathered at the door and leaned out. They looked at each other, and their generals seemed to hate this behavior very much. They could only come to Zhao Kuo one by one and apologize to him in person, saying that they had not been able to control the soldiers well, which shocked them to the core.
Even though he did nothing, Zhao Kuo was treated like an idol, and those reverent glances were like needles piercing his heart.
Changping City is a small city. Zhao Kuo was brought to the city guard's house. Sima Shang left with Xing and Ge. He wanted to arrange accommodation for the two of them. When he left, he was very reluctant to leave. He turned back every three steps. He and Li Mu After walking into the city guard's mansion, there was a doorman standing in the courtyard. The doorman saw Zhao Kuo and hurriedly bowed to see him. Then he respectfully led him to the house on the left and stood guard at the door.
"How can there be any reason in the world for juniors to make their elders wait?" General Lian Po said loudly. He knelt down on the banquet and stared at Zhao Kuo who had just entered. Zhao Kuo hurriedly saluted him. Lian Po
He was tall and tall, with a big square face and a long beard. Zhao Kuo said hurriedly: "It's my fault for keeping the general waiting for so long. Please forgive me." Lian Po suddenly laughed and stood up suddenly.
Walked up to Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo is also considered tall. Following his father, ordinary people would raise their heads to look at him, but Lian Po is different. He is about the same height as Zhao Kuo, but in terms of stature, he is a bit thicker than him.
It was impossible to tell that this was an old general who was over sixty years old. He was also looking at Zhao Kuo in front of him. This boy had become more handsome, but he was far from what I looked like when I was young!
"Why do people grow up so fast nowadays? Li Mu is like this, and so are you. After not seeing each other for a few years, you have already grown up..." Lian Po sighed with emotion, pulling Zhao Kuo and letting him sit on the table.
, I just sat in front of him and said cheerfully: "If Mr. Ma Fu can see you doing something like this, he will definitely feel gratified."
Zhao Kuo was speechless, and Lian Po continued: "The person he has been most worried about is you. He said that he has been away fighting for a long time and has not been able to spare the time to teach you, so you have become arrogant and arrogant. Now it seems
Come on, you are even more of a gentleman than him! If it had been him, I would have drawn my sword long ago when I questioned him like that!" Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "My father is an elegant man...
.”
"Elegance???" Lian Po looked a little strange, then nodded and said, "Just say so."
Lian Po's face suddenly became solemn. He looked at Zhao Kuo seriously and said, "I have been waiting for Ma Fuzi these days and want to ask Ma Fuzi for some advice."
Zhao Kuo subconsciously sensed something was wrong and said hurriedly: "I don't dare. If you have any orders, just tell me."
Lian Po then said angrily: "That retainer of yours, Di, he went around telling people that I was a useless old man. If Ma Fuzi had been the general, he would have killed Bai Qi long ago, breached Hangu Pass, and returned
He said that Ma Fuzi had ten strategies to capture the King of Qin and overthrow the Qin State. I wonder if Ma Fuzi could tell me in detail about these ten strategies to overthrow the Qin State? How are you planning to overthrow the Qin State??"
