"Did Ma Fuzi negotiate with General Lian Po on how to retreat from the enemy?"
Sima Shang led Zhao Kuo to the place where Xing, Ge, Di and others lived temporarily. The courtyard they lived in was pretty good and large. It could accommodate ten more people, not to mention these people, but it was just too much.
It was messy, and it could be seen that after the wealthy families living here fled, someone probably came in and searched the house. As soon as Zhao Kuo entered the courtyard, Sima Shang couldn't help but ask.
He looked at Zhao Kuo passionately, and what he saw in his eyes was hope.
Zhao Kuo looked at the young captain seriously, but he thought of the city gate of Handan again. There, there was also a young man there who, with such hope, asked him, but he was already dead.
Zhao Kuo laughed. The smile was a little arrogant. He said proudly: "I rushed here from Handan. Bai Qi was afraid of me and sent the most elite Qin spies to assassinate me. Now I am alive in Changchun."
Ping, how come there is no way to retreat from the enemy?"
"Please rest assured. I heard that King Zhao wants to summon me to help General Lian Po and defeat the enemy together. The Qin people are definitely no match for me and General Lian Po!" Zhao Kuo said confidently. Sima
Shang laughed, he was very excited and ecstatic, while Di who was not far away also smiled and said: "I have told the second and third sons a long time ago that if my young master were in Changping, he would defeat the Qin people with a backhand!"
Di happily talked to Xing about his affairs in Changping, and asked Li Yuming about the situation of the Qin people's spies. Sima Shang left very happily. He still had his own responsibilities. Ge sat far away, talking with
Li Mu was arguing about something, and his face turned red. Li Mu was so angry that he flew into a rage. Zhao Kuo just looked at the scene quietly. He did not dare to show the despair in his heart. Only he knew that whether it was attacking or defending, this was a rule.
A dead end without a destination.
Zhao Kuo sat in the upper position, and his disciples sat on both sides. Li Mu also sat among them, not ashamed.
"Di, if you continue to stay in the army during this period, you will let more soldiers know the tyranny of the Qin people. I have made an agreement with General Lian Po. You can choose four hundred men and you can order them.
Let them help deliver good news at home and abroad to each camp." Zhao Kuo said. Fortunately, he thought for a moment and then asked: "Can I ask for another hundred people? There are too many camps, and I need a quick horse.
, otherwise it will take too much time to go back and forth.”
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Then please go find General Lian Po's retainer. He will take you to make a selection. I'll leave this matter to you.
Here you go." Di patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will complete what you asked!" He stood up and left, watching him leave. Zhao Kuo then looked at Xing and said
:
"Fortunately, I heard from General Lian Po that the Qin people placed many soldiers between the mountains and forests from Daliang Mountain to Tangshan. These soldiers usually hide in the mountains and forests and frequently attack the grain and grass transported to Daliang Mountain.
This makes the situation in Daliang Mountain very dangerous. I know that you are familiar with the mountains and forests. General Lian Po will send a captain. Please follow him and find these hidden thieves for him."
Xing nodded, and Ming on the side asked with some confusion: "Since we know that they are hiding in the mountains and forests, why don't we just send an army to conquer them?" Zhao Kuo replied: "The Qin people are surrounding the south of the two mountains.
If the army moves out, it is very likely that it will encounter the enemy's main force." Ming then nodded, and Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "I also have something to entrust you with."
Ming lowered his head in frustration and said, "I am not as brave as Di Xing, nor have I traveled around like Li Yu to study. How can I help you?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I heard that willow is not as hard as pine and can be made into furniture, but its branches can be woven into strong baskets. Mulberry is not as soft as willow, but it can be used to bless and drive away people."
Ghost. How can you underestimate yourself? Previously, when General Feng Ting left Shangdang, he brought a lot of wealth with him. He was willing to donate all this money. However, even if he had money in Zhao State, he would not buy it.
There isn’t much food left.”
"I heard that you went to Han, Wei, Qi and other places to do business with your family elders. I want you to form a business trip and go to various places to buy food and supplies."
Ming Ming's eyes lit up, he stood up, bowed to Zhao Kuo, and said: "I am willing to obey your instructions, and I will definitely accomplish this."
None of the people were allowed in, let alone the business travelers from Zhao State? But Wei State is different. You can reach Wei State directly from Handan, but the road will be longer. Now is the time of autumn harvest, although most other countries do not allow it.
They sell grain, but the nobles in various countries are still willing to make a small fortune.
Zhao Kuo finally looked at Li Yu. Li Yu had been waiting for Zhao Kuo's instructions. Zhao Kuo said: "I heard that you have traveled to various places and are proficient in the languages of various places. I would like to ask you to visit someone on my behalf.",
Li Yu squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Young Lord, do you want me to visit King Wei?" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I want to ask you to visit Lord Xinling. Zhao State is currently facing a huge crisis.
We are short of food and need his help. If Zhao is defeated, no one will be able to stop the Qin people."
"Please tell him that even if he can't send soldiers to help, please ask him to help Ming and help him get some food so that the hundreds of thousands of people will not be destroyed because of lack of food.", Zhao Kuo.
After giving the order, Li Yu nodded, with a solemn expression on his face, and said, "I will set off today and rush to the Kingdom of Wei."
Zhao Kuo nodded and looked at Li Mu again. Li Mu stood up hurriedly. Zhao Kuo said: "Today, when I was discussing with General Lian Po, you were also there. I won't say more. Please come during the inspection."
Please be careful during the process, the spies of the Qin people are very powerful, no matter who they are, whoever approaches Zhizicheng, please arrest them." Li Mu nodded, with a solemn look on his face.
Zhao Kuo then showed a smile, "The matter of Changping will trouble the second and third sons. Please be more careful..." "Bang!!" Before Zhao Kuo could finish speaking, Ge suddenly jumped up and kicked.
He kicked over the wooden case in front of him, looked at Zhao Kuo angrily, and asked: "Do you think I am no longer useful because of my old age? Even a brat like Li Mu can help you, can't I? If you
If you think I am useless, please give me a sword!!"
Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "I am about to rush to Handan to see the Lord. This time I don't have two or three sons to protect me, and I don't know what kind of dangers there will be on the way. You are the oldest, have rich experience, and have not lost your courage, so I invite you."
You drive for me and protect me as I rush to Handan." After hearing this, Ge's face improved a lot. He raised his head high and snorted coldly. Li Mu on the side was a little worried and asked:
"Brother, you are going without any followers. What should you do if you are attacked by the Qin people? Why don't you borrow some knights from General Lian Po and follow you to Handan?"
Ge was furious and said angrily: "Robbery! Are you saying that I am not capable enough to protect Shaojun?!"
Li Mu was speechless and his face turned red with anger.
Zhao Kuo stood up in a hurry to stop the conflict. He said: "Don't worry, the Qin people have lost so many spies. It is not easy to gather the manpower in a short time. What's more, I quietly left the city this time.
I don’t want too many people to know the news of my departure. With me here, the Zhao soldiers will feel more at ease. There are also officials from various places along the road who can seek shelter, so you don’t have to worry."
