"I'll make you hurt again! I'll make you hurt again!"
As soon as Zhao Kuo walked out of the door, he saw Di crazily banging his head against the mulberry tree. Every time he hit it, the mulberry leaves flew up and piled up on the ground. Zhao Kuo was frightened. What was going on? Ah, just as he was about to step forward, Xing stopped him, and Xing said helplessly: "Don't panic, young gentleman, Di is such a person. He drank with friends yesterday, and today he has an unbearable headache. In a fit of rage, he took Hit your head against a tree."
Zhao Kuo's eyes widened and he asked: "Is he usually like this?"
Xing nodded, "He is a irritable man. He once punched his nose to bleed because he felt it was always itchy... Shaojun didn't know something. When he first came to Zhao State, many people He was invited to be a guest, but he talked too much and talked endlessly, so those people were unwilling and asked him to herd sheep and horses. He was good at these things, but if the sheep didn't listen to him, Or run around..."
"What will happen to him?"
"He just punched and kicked the sheep. I saw him wrestling with a donkey, holding down the old donkey and beating him. He would not let go of even horses and cows. If he annoyed him, he would definitely be beaten. After a fight, his fists were bleeding and he didn't care. Later, no matter whether they were sheep, cows, or horses, they were all afraid of him. The squealing sheep did not dare to say a word when they saw Di approaching, and they only dared to lower their heads. Eat grass.”
Zhao Kuo opened his mouth and wondered what kind of people these diners were.
"Later, not only those beasts, but also people were afraid of him. No one dared to use him anymore."
Good guy, Zhao Kuo has heard that Zhang Liao's reputation can make crying children afraid to speak out. He never thought that he has a fierce man under his command who is famous for making cattle and sheep silent. Isn't this a lunatic? Zhao Kuo is a lunatic. At this moment, they were all a little scared. They ignored Di, who was shouting and banging his head against a tree in the distance, and left the courtyard with Ge and another guest. He had been riding a horse these days, and although his life was pleasant, But he was still a little bored and wanted to go to Handan to have a look.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Ge tightening the reins. When he saw Zhao Kuo coming out, Ge bowed and said: "Shaojun, it seems that you have found a way to get up earlier. It turns out that you stayed up late to study, so I got up very late, and now I don’t even read in order to get up early. From this, it seems that Shaojun is still smart.” Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a headache, and he didn’t want to take this guy with him. However, he needed a car to travel. , and Ge would definitely not be willing to switch to someone else to drive.
Just as Zhao Kuo was about to speak, Di also came out with a scarf tied on his forehead, stood behind Zhao Kuo, looked at Ge angrily, and cursed: "If you dare to insult Shaojun again, I will definitely chop off your head. "
"You are just a foreign barbarian. When will it be your turn to scold me?" Ge was already at odds with Di. When he heard Di's insults, he naturally wanted to scold him back.
"You are just a mediocre person who is not qualified to go to Lord Pingyuan's house. Lord Pingyuan has accepted all of Ma Fujun's guests, but he doesn't want you. How can you have the dignity to drive for Ma Fuzi?"
"I did that to repay Mr. Ma Fu! That's why I didn't go to Mr. Pingyuan's mansion! I stayed to take care of Ma Fuzi!" When Ge heard this, he jumped up with anger and his long beard trembled. This thing made him the most angry. Yes, Di always used this incident to annoy him. Seeing that the two were about to fight, he was lucky enough to step in and stop the two from fighting in front of Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo ignored the fight between the two guys and looked aside. His neighbor walked out of the door. His neighbor was a kind old man. The old man was on crutches. He was very old and always smiled.
Zhao Kuo came forward to meet him, and the old man smiled and hit Zhao Kuo on the back with a mulberry stick. This was certainly not an attack. Zhao people believed that mulberry wood could drive away ghosts. The old man's behavior was considered a blessing to Zhao Kuo.
Drive away evil for him.
"Where are you going, Duke Ping?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I'm going to ask if there is any letter from my two children. I wonder where Ma Fuzi is going?"
"I'm going to Handan."
"Okay, I hope Ma Fuzi has a safe journey." The old man said, smiling and gently hitting the carriage with his mulberry stick before leaving.
After getting on the carriage, Ge waved the long whip in his hand and the carriage drove away quickly. Di, Xing and other people followed the carriage and ran. Looking at their appearance, Zhao Kuo thought that maybe he should buy some horses for them.
, but when he saw Di running and talking to Xing continuously, and seeing Xing's desperate expression, Zhao Kuo felt that it was good now, and it was better not to buy them horses, lest Di keep following them.
By one's own side.
The city wall of Handan was very tall. Zhao Kuo had to look up to see the soldiers guarding the city wall. When the carriage came to the city gate, the city gate seemed a bit empty. There were not many people, only seven or eight people.
An old man was standing aside, accepting the interrogation of the soldiers. Ge drove the car directly to the city gate, and some soldiers stopped them and stood in front of them.
"This is Ma Fuzi's car!" Ge said proudly.
"Mafuzi?!" the soldiers shouted, and suddenly a pot exploded at the city gate. The soldiers patrolling in the distance also ran over. The Guizhou chiefs at the city gate also poked their heads out, one after another eager and respectful.
Zhao Kuo stared at Zhao Kuo with almost fanatical eyes. Zhao Kuo felt very uncomfortable, "Ma Fuzi is here!" someone shouted. There were more and more people crowded around. Countless people called Zhao Kuo's name and shouted: "Ma Fuzi is here!"
Some people knelt down by the road and kowtowed to Zhao Kuo.
The soldier guarding the city gate excitedly walked to Zhao Kuo. Only then did Zhao Kuo see his face. This soldier was very young, no, he was very young. He just had stubble growing on his face.
, his eyes were very bright, and he asked cautiously: "Is Ma Fuzi here to follow you and ask for a fight?"
Zhao Kuo was silent and shook his head.
The young soldier was a little disappointed. He raised his head again and said, "I have two brothers who are both in Changping. If you become a general, I am willing to follow you on the battlefield."
Zhao Kuo was speechless for a moment, and the soldiers hurriedly cleared the way for him, and then the carriage entered Handan City.
Handan City was not as prosperous as he remembered. There were very few people on the roads. Even in some restaurants, you could only see one or two men eating meat. Handan looked very depressed and empty. Zhao Kuo's expression
He was in a daze. He didn't say a word until he left Handan. He couldn't even remember the situation in Handan City.
.........
In the palace, King Zhao and four Zhao ministers were sitting facing each other. Among these people, Tian Dan and Lin Xiangru were missing. The reason why he was not called Tian Dan was because he was not interested in the war, but the reason why he was not called Lin Xiangru was because he was not interested in the war.
Because he was seriously ill at home, King Zhao really didn't want to trouble the old man anymore. King Zhao looked at the four ministers in front of him and asked angrily: "The first battle was unfavorable. The captain died in the battle. I want to roll the armor myself."
What do you think about going to the enemy to fight the Qin army in a decisive battle?"
Minister Lou Chang said: "Zhao and Qin use all their national power to fight decisively. This is not a good thing for both countries. Two tigers are fighting. Isn't this something that makes the wolves around them happy? I think Your Majesty should send someone to negotiate peace with Qin." After saying this, he bowed and bowed. King Zhao did not answer, but looked at Yu Qing again. Yu Qing looked a little angry. He stood up and said:
"The State of Qin has tried its best and will no longer hold back. He wants to destroy our State of Zhao. How can we negotiate peace at this time?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Your Majesty should send people to Wei and Chu to seek their help. If this happens, Qin will doubt that all the princes in the world will unite to resist Qin, and will panic. Even if your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with the Qin people, you should send them first. People going to Wei and Chu will also be helpful for negotiating peace." Yu Qing said seriously.
King Zhao nodded and looked at his father, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao looked a little angry at the moment. He said rudely: "In the past, the Qin State attacked South Korea, and South Korea's Shangdang Governor Feng Ting was unwilling to surrender to the Qin people. When the seventeen cities were donated, I told the Lord that unwarranted gains are the greatest harm. Such a move will definitely offend the Qin people. It is better to give these places to the Qin people. You can do it without spending any troops. It is a good thing to get so many cities, but what about now?"
King Zhao angrily asked: "If I don't want this Shangdang County, the Qin people won't attack Zhao? Qin is a country like tigers. Shouldn't Qin accept the land and become stronger to deal with tigers? Are you going to feed the meat you get to the tiger and wait for the tiger to eat you? What's the use of talking about it now?"
Zhao Bao was speechless for a moment, and then said: "In that case, I ask your Majesty to send Zheng Zhu to Qin to discuss peace. In the past, when the Qin people attacked Yanyu, he was the one who went to Qin as an envoy. I think he is the most important person." "Appropriate." Of course, the fourth minister sitting next to Zhao Bao, Zheng Zhu, stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and said, "I am willing to go to Qin to negotiate peace."
After pondering for a long time, King Zhao nodded and said: "This matter is related to the survival of Zhao State, please don't neglect it."
Zheng Zhu immediately swore an oath, and King Zhao's expression softened a little. However, Yu Qing, who was sitting next to him, stood up with a sad smile and shouted: "I will become a slave of the Qin people!"
