Chapter 35 Blocking the Road and Delivering Food

"Dare to ask if it's Ma Fuzi ahead?" , Li Yu brought another person to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo hurriedly turned over and dismounted, the person who came was dressed luxuriously, with his head held high, Zhao Kuo hurriedly met with him, and said: "I am, I don't know what you command?" ”

The man pointed to the four carriages not far away, and said, "I heard that you need food, so I borrowed 800,000 stone of grain from Pingyuanjun, and Pingyuanjun scattered all his family property, and only raised 300,000 stones, and I still have 20,000 stone corn here, please take it away!" Zhao Kuo looked at this fat-headed and big-eared guy with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he said: "Thank you for your help, Pingyuanjun's friends, they are really all people of faith and righteousness like him!" ”

"I don't know your name yet?" , Zhao Kuo asked respectfully.

The fat man waved his hand and said, "I'm just a friend of Pingyuan-kun, don't ask more, you guys come here!" Bring the wagon over! Zhao Kuo saw that there were still a few sheep leading behind the carriage, and the fat man commanded them: "You must respect Ma Fuzi as you respect me, and you must obey Ma Fuzi's orders!" When Mafuko lets you come back, you come back! ”

"Got it! Dong Chengzi!! They almost shouted out the name, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be the son of General Uncle Dong." Zhao once had a general called Uncle Dong, he helped Wei to conquer the Song State, and got Wei's Heyang as a reward, so he got Chengzicheng as a reward, fortunately, Zhao Kuo read enough books, otherwise he really couldn't remember these.

Knowing that he told him about his family background, the fat man was also very happy, but he pretended to be displeased to reprimand the riders, "Didn't you ask you not to mention my surname?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, please don't blame them." , Zhao Kuo hurriedly found a step for him, and the fat man went down the steps, and then said with a smile: "If you come to visit Pingyuanjun again in the future, please rest in my house for a few days, I really want to set up a banquet to entertain you." ”

"It will be like this."

Saying goodbye to the fat man, Zhao Kuo continued to hurry, this is already the sixth, that Pingyuanjun is really a person who is greedy for fame, he funded Zhao Kuo's matter, in a short period of time, it actually spread, followed by his friends, blocking the road to send food, saying that he wanted to raise enough food for Pingyuanjun, of course Zhao Kuo did not refuse, SLR is such a person, he is very polite to meet them, and then accept their food, remember their names.

Zhao Kuo rode a horse, looking at the endless carriage procession, his face was full of smiles, Li Yu was on the other side, he had never seen Zhao Kuo so happy since he joined Zhao Kuo, all the time, he frowned, as if something was pressing him, making him breathless, but now, he was smiling like a child who got a toy, but his own young gentleman laughed, but he was even more handsome.

The matter of Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun spread quickly, on various roads, not only will someone come to deliver grain, but also the officials along the road will also send people to escort grain and grass, but this speed is very slow, because of the terrain, in many places, the carriage is not very easy to use, often need someone to push behind the carriage, but also to prevent the grain from falling, Zhao Kuo personally went to push the cart, but was begged by Li Yu to get on the horse.

According to Li Yu's words, let the head of the family do this kind of thing, then those of them who are guests can commit suicide in shame.

Seeing these carriages driving extremely slowly on these paths, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhao Kuo's mind, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the front, where Ge was reprimanding a few young people pushing carts behind him, "Today's young people can't even push a carriage!" Will you live to my age? Why don't you just drive and I'll push it?! The young men sent by Zhao Sheng were red with shame, gritting their teeth and pushing the carriage.

Zhao Kuo came to his side and asked, "I want to ask you something." ”

Ge raised his head and stared at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo asked; "I wonder if you've ever seen a car with only one wheel?"

"A car on one wheel?? I wonder if you've ever seen a three-legged horse? ”

"This...", Zhao Kuo already understood what he meant, but he immediately became excited, because he thought of the kind of small cart on the construction site, and remembered that when he was decorating his home, he had seen workers use this kind of wheelbarrow, which can be pushed at will on various terrains, and it will not be like a horse-drawn carriage, which looks heavy and clumsy in the complex mountain road, although Zhao Kuo can't do it, but it should be no problem to let the craftsmen make a wheeled car... Right?

Although he can't make it in a short time, but since he has this idea, maybe he can solve the problem of transporting grain in Shangdang County in the future, Zhao Kuo thought happily in his heart.

In this journey, Zhao Kuo is a little redundant, he doesn't have to command anything, these carriages know where they are going, Zhao Kuo's original idea was to let them send the grain to the horse service, and then transport it from the horse service to Shangdang, but he found that if there were no people, he would not have so many carriages and manpower to transport grain and grass, so he hurriedly sent someone to ride back to Dongwu and talk to Zhao Sheng, and borrowed these guests and carriages for himself for a while longer.

Zhao Sheng did not object, let him use it, afraid that he would not be able to control these guests, and wrote another letter to a knight who took the lead, this knight was silent all the way, and he never talked to anyone, even in the face of Zhao Kuo, he did not speak, but Zhao Kuo had seen him talk to Ge, it seemed that he and Ge knew each other, although Zhao Kuo was curious, he did not go to Ge to inquire about the identity of this person.

The road of Zhao is very difficult to walk, Zhao Guo did not go all out to build traffic like Qin State, which led to the fact that there is not only no post on the road of Zhao State that can let passers-by rest, and even many roads need to pass through the mountains and forests, in these places, there is no road at all, which can see that Zhao Guo is better than Qin State, the road of Zhao State, you can go however you want, I Zhao State is so free, will not restrict you to what kind of road you take, do not need to be as restrained as the Qin people.

The people of Handan often joked, saying that the Qin people would never be able to destroy the Zhao State, because there were no roads in many parts of the Zhao State that could allow them to march, and this was the wisdom of the Shangjun, in order to prevent the attack of other countries, he directly cut off their way forward, leaving them with no way out.

It is worth mentioning that there are such people in Handan who specialize in creating jokes, telling jokes to nobles, and making them happy, but the person who created this joke back then was killed by the angry King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo and his party stopped again to rest, Zhao Kuo sat with those riders, at first when he did this, everyone was still a little frightened, and now they are all familiar, these riders are very fond of this approachable horse suit, and the relationship with him is quite good, that is, those knights sent by Zhao Sheng, except for the one who is the leader, the rest of the people have a very good relationship with Zhao Kuo.

They sat on the mats and talked happily.

On a hillside in the distance, two men dressed as farmers were lying in the dirt, quietly surveying the convoy.

"Didn't you say that you were going to assassinate Tobu Castle? Why is it becoming a matter of burning grain and grass again? ”

"Plains-kun can't assassinate at all."

"And now? We just gathered all the people in the vicinity, and it was only two or three hundred people, and we didn't have the right weapons, and we didn't have chariots and horses, how could we burn all this grain and grass? Look at the Zhao man who is the leader, he arranges people to patrol the surroundings at any time, and the officials of the Zhao State are also escorting, what should we do? ”

"Then go find a helper, the most important thing in Zhao Guo is outlaws, these scum can still play some role at this time."

..........

In King Zhao's palace, Yu Qing broke in angrily, and sat in front of King Zhao, he looked very angry. King Zhao looked at him suspiciously, Yu Qing rarely got so angry, who angered him? King Zhao smiled gently and asked, "I don't know why you came to find the widow?" ”

Yu Qing said angrily: "I came this time to ask you to kill someone." ”

"Oh? Kill whom? ”

"Please kill Zhao Kuo!"

"Huh?! Why? ”

Yu Qing said indignantly: "I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't want to, he made such a villainous move, he actually went to harm the Zhao royal family...", he went to Zhao Kuo to find Zhao Sheng, and forced him with Zhao Sheng's reputation, so that Zhao Sheng had to swallow his anger, and said that the matter of handing over the grain was added to the vinegar, and he wantonly accused Zhao Kuo of bullying Pingyuanjun, King Zhao listened carefully, the more Yu Qing said, the more smiles on his face.

"He bullied the clan so much, please kill him!"

"Hahaha, how much of a sin can this be, to kill him? The widow knows that you have a good relationship with Pingyuanjun, but you can't kill Zhao Kuo because he is also willing? ”

"But Pingyuan-kun is not reluctant!" , Yu Qing argued.

"Okay, please don't say any more, if Pingyuanjun comes to complain to the widow, the widow will definitely help him, you go back." , King Zhao waved his hand and asked Yu Qing to leave, Yu Qing walked out of the palace with an unwilling face, he just walked out, he heard the bold laughter of King Zhao from the rear, Yu Qing smiled indifferently.

Zhao Sheng, I can only help you so much.
