Chapter Twenty-Four: The Brave Win When They Meet on a Narrow Road
Zhao Kuo has never ignored anyone, probably the Chinese have engraved the awe of their ancestors in their bones, whether it is the Qin people, or the Zhao people, whether it is the nobles, or the head of the Qian, they are the beginning of the Chinese nation, originally, they just live in the bloodline, and now, they stand in front of Zhao Kuo. As a enjoyer of the splendid civilization that has grown in them, how can you not have some respect in your heart?
What's more, among these millions of people, there is one, perhaps many, who are all ancestors of Zhao Kuo several generations ago, and they have the same blood and bones as Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo originally wanted to find Le Yi to ask him for advice on how to protect the Zhao people, but when he saw this old man who was flickering in Chinese history, lying on the sickbed in the twilight, he didn't dare to use these things to bother him anymore, unlike Tian Dan, Le Yi is a Zhao person, if he learns about the danger of Zhao Guo, he will definitely be worried, at his age, he really shouldn't continue to be bothered by these things.
When he walked out of Le Yi's courtyard, Zhao Kuo's mood was very heavy, no wonder the generals were willing to shroud the body in horse leather, willing to die on the battlefield, thinking about it, they were not willing to be like Le Yi, Zhao Kuo was about to get into the carriage, but saw Li Mu on the side with his head down, extremely depressed, Zhao Kuo comforted: "Anyone will get old, General Le Yi can live to this age, it is not his blessing, you don't have to be depressed." ”
The young man raised his head, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "I am not a horseman. ”
"Hahaha~~", Zhao Kuo laughed, patted Li Mu's shoulder, and said: "I heard that people who can be generals and ministers of state have a heart as broad as the sky, why do you care so much about this little thing?" Being so mocked by his idol made the young man feel really uncomfortable, but when he heard Zhao Kuo's words, he still nodded and didn't continue to think about it.
"By the way, I have a very important matter to entrust to you."
"I'm not a horseman!"
When he went to Le Yi's mansion, he was still very angry, and on the way back, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, probably this is a young man, he will never keep heavy things in his heart, Zhao Kuo did not go to Ying Yiren's mansion to make an appointment, he also has a very important thing, the carriage drove directly towards the horse clothes, on the way, Zhao Kuo seriously explained to Li Mu what to do next.
"What Tian Gong said is good, the most important thing to do now is to improve morale, just according to what I said, let the soldiers know the military merit system of the Qin people, and stimulate their will to fight, this is the most important thing at present, I have heard that the soldiers who can experience three defeats without breaking up can be called elite, and now we have experienced three defeats, four lieutenants were captured, and retreated for more than ten miles, and the soldiers of Zhao State can still follow General Lian Po to defend, they are already elite."
"Shangjun did not cut off their food and grass, and General Lian Po did not abuse them, the reason why they were not defeated by the Qin State was largely because they did not have the will to continue fighting, as long as they had the idea of defending their homes and the country, and understood the tyranny of the Qin people, they may not be able to follow General Lian Po to repel the enemy." , Zhao Kuo said, Li Mu nodded, and said: "I will definitely do what you ask, but I don't know how to let the soldiers know." ”
What Zhao Kuo told him was to ask him to find Lian Po and motivate the soldiers of Zhao Guo there.
Zhao Kuo didn't care, he said with a smile: "I heard that those with big positions don't have to do everything themselves, putting the right people in the right position is the style of the general, you don't have to worry, there is a talent under my command, you take him to go, let him stay in the Zhao army for a while, he will definitely let this matter spread out, let everyone know the tyranny of the Qin people." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Di who was not far away.
Li Mu was shocked, followed his gaze and saw Di, and then asked, "There is still such a talent?" ”
"Whoever he is, put him in the most suitable position, he will surely shine like the sun."
"What about you, and what's your best location?" , Li Mu asked curiously.
"I, I don't know anything about military affairs, I don't know agriculture, I can't be of much use, but I know a little bit of arithmetic, and as a tax collector in the township, I may be able to fulfill my duties."
"You are too modest, I think that at home you can be a minister of state, and abroad you can be a general."
.......
The sky gradually darkened, just when the carriage was about to arrive at Mafu Township, the sharp-eyed Zhao Kuo saw a person, he fell on the side of the road, life and death unknown, Zhao Kuo asked Ge to stop the car, to see if this person was still alive, Ge got out of the car, squatted down, pulled up the person on the ground, he was still alive, look at the cracked lips, it seems that it was because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, he fell here.
This is a little strange, obviously there are many towns around here, when you are thirsty, you go to ask for water, and no one will not pour water for the guests on the journey, some of the more welcoming places, will also entertain passers-by, give meals, how did he fall to this point? Without Zhao Kuo's instructions, Ge found a water bag, he seemed to be very experienced in these things, he carefully dripped some water into the man's mouth, and wiped his face with water.
Only a moment later, the man's eyes opened weakly.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Ge couldn't understand his words, turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo didn't understand either, he was struggling, fortunately he stepped forward and talked with the man for a while, before he looked at Zhao Kuo, and he said: "Shaojun, he is from Yan, and he originally went to Handan to join his relatives." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then ordered: "Show him the way, and leave him some food." ”
Xing nodded, talked with the man for a while, the man's face gradually became solemn, walked in front of Zhao Kuo, leaned over, looked at him deeply, and then got out of the way, Zhao Kuo continued to hurry, Xing walked on the side and said: "He has to know your identity, I told him, and he got out of the way." ”
"How can you speak the words of the Yan people? Also, is there such a big gap between Yan Ren's words and Zhao Ren's words? Zhao Kuo asked.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything, but Di couldn't help but speak, he said: "Shaojun doesn't know, fortunately, he committed an accident back then, fled from Zhao State, wandered abroad, and went to a lot of places, he was a notorious generation of Handan back then..."
"Ahem...", Yuki hurriedly coughed.
Di was stunned for a moment, then smiled, didn't speak again, just looked at the Yan man who was far away, and said: "I guess, that person may also be the same outlaw as Xing, but he is much worse than Xing, I heard that Xing killed someone back then, and he was still living very well outside, and he almost got mixed with an official position." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough...", Xing coughed again, and then looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "Yan Guo also has a lot of languages, and he is probably from the northernmost part, so the language gap is relatively large." ”
Zhao Kuo didn't ask anything more.
When the carriage entered the Mafu Township, more than a dozen of Zhao Kuo's guests were already waiting outside the courtyard, everyone met Zhao Kuo, and then hugged him into the courtyard, Zhao Kuo first went to meet his mother, and then called Li Mu and Di indoors, the three of them sat on the seat, Zhao Kuo was very serious.
He looked at Di and said seriously, "I have something to ask you to do." ”
When Di heard this, he immediately straightened his face, "Please give your orders, Shaojun, I can die for you." ”
"I think you can go to Shangdang County with Li Mu, Li Mu is going to meet General Lian Po, but the rest of the things need you to complete, the Qin people have a military merit system, the reason why they are not disgusted with fighting is not to seize more land for the country, but to get more heads to get rewards, if they defeat the soldiers of Zhao State, they will definitely kill all the soldiers, because they need heads."
"After this, they may also slaughter Zhao Guolai to get more heads."
"Now Shangjun is afraid that such a thing will happen, so he is ready to reward all the soldiers after the war, as long as he can defeat the Qin people, money and land can be rewarded to everyone, I hope you can bring these news to the soldiers of Zhao State, let them know these things, protect the women and children who remain in Zhao State, and at the same time protect themselves, in this current situation, Zhao State is to retreat to Handan, Qin people do not get the head, and they will not give up."
"My father once said that the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, and only by bravely fighting the Qin people can they protect themselves, the Qin people, and the country."
"I see."
