This is another township, smaller than the horse clothes, surrounded by green trees, you can also hear the crisp sound of the stream, probably from the mountain down, here is also a name, called Gou Li, and why this name, it is said that here a long time ago, the mountains are full of grass, so it got this name, although it is much smaller than the horse clothes, but the environment is still very good.

Ge went to park, Zhao Kuo knocked on the gate of the courtyard, and soon, a maid came out to open the door.

In the Zhao State, the retainers are also divided into two kinds, the first is the private retainers of the family, these people are to be incorporated into the household registration, regarded as a family, living together, simply put, it is a private slave, and the other kind of retainers, that is, Ruge, Xing, Di, these three, are doormen, they will not be incorporated into the household registration of the main family, they are free people, have their own property, but will accept the salary of the main family, do some things that the guest will do.

For example, when eating, as a member of the aristocratic group, Zhao Kuo can not eat and drink at will when eating, he can eat three bites, and then he has to say that he is full, at this time, the doorman will persuade him to eat again, at this time, he can continue to eat, and the princes of heaven will be even more miserable, the son of heaven can only eat one bite, and then wait for others to persuade him to eat, such etiquette, in the Spring and Autumn Period is still very common, until now, only the three Jin regions are observed.

Of course, in the Sanjin region, not every nobleman is like this, but the correspondence between nobles, if they don't have these, they will be ridiculed, and in this era, being ridiculed is definitely a more serious thing than being killed.

The maidservant led Zhao Kuo into the house, and there were candles lit in the house, but the old mother's health was not very good, and her eyes were a little unclear, so she lit the candles. Zhao Kuo saw his mother, his heart trembled, and his mind was instantly occupied by the memories of more than 20 years, he bowed to the old man, and said: "Yan Jun is okay?" The old man opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudy, smiled, looked at his son in front of him, and replied, "I'm fine." ”

Zhao Kuo knelt down in front of his mother, took out those dates, and put them in front of his mother.

"I brought some dates for Yan Jun."

"Okay...", the old mother said, picked up a jujube with a smile, put it in her mouth and bit it, she asked about Zhao Kuo's food and clothing, fortunately, Zhao Kuo completely received all the memories of the predecessor, and the answer was like a stream, the old mother did not notice anything wrong, and then told them one by one, listening to these words, Zhao Kuo had a trace of warmth in his heart, and after living for so many years, he once again enjoyed the feeling of being cared for, with mixed feelings.

"Including... I heard that Zhao Yiren came to assassinate you? The old man looked a little worried.

"Yan Jun, don't worry, those are all rumors, and nothing like this happened."

"Alas... You don't tell lies from a young age. The old man shook his head helplessly, Zhao Kuo did not argue, he knew that his mother had always been very smart, when he was young, he remembered that his father often asked his mother about some things, hoping that his mother could solve his confusion, after his father left, his mother was also very strict with his own discipline, and cultivated him from many aspects, but he never forced it too quickly, making himself disgusted.

"Including, you have been learning the art of war since you were a child, arguing about war and strategy, and you think that no one in the world can compare to you, even when your father was alive, he talked to you about the way of battle formation, and he couldn't say that you... But your father once said that you can't be a general. Zhao Mu said seriously, if it was Zhao Kuo in the past, at this time, he would definitely jump up suddenly, talk endlessly about his views on the war and the world, and tell about the great ambition in his heart.

But at this moment, Zhao Kuo was extremely quiet, because he knew that what Zhao's mother said was very right, he really couldn't be a general, and the consequences of letting himself be a general were already written very clearly in the history books.

"I heard your father say that war is a major event related to the life and death of soldiers, and you can't help but observe it carefully, and it is so easy to say that the war is so easy, in the future, Zhao State will not need you as a general, if you are really used, it must be you who will destroy Zhao State." , Zhao's mother said, looked at Zhao Kuo again, and stopped talking, she was waiting for Zhao Kuo's rebuttal.

"Yan Jun, I know." , Zhao Kuo said seriously.

Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment, and prepared words for a long time, but she couldn't say any more, she said: "The Qin people are afraid of Lian Po, and want to use you to replace him, and then come to break the Zhao State, then the reason why Zhao Yiren wants to assassinate you is to make you arrogant, I heard Ge say, there are many people in Handan who are talking about you, and your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, why is this happening?" This is the strategy of the Qin people. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Yan Jun, such a simple strategy, can no one in Zhao Kingdom see it?" ”

"Qin and Zhao are at war, your affairs are as inconspicuous as a drop of water in a big river for Zhao Guo, it's not that Zhao Guo doesn't have Magi, it's just that the eyes of these Magi are not on you. When they gradually build your reputation, they will definitely buy off the villain and persuade the lord to use you as a general. At that time, if you are incompetent, I will also be affected. ”

"I know, Yan Jun, I won't be a general." , Zhao Kuo said.

Mother Zhao smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to caress Zhao Kuo's face, "Kuo, I have never heard of a general who is not yet established, you are familiar with the art of war, and there is no opponent among your peers, when you are older and more stable, I will let you be a lieutenant in Zhao State, so that what you have learned on weekdays has a place to show, so that in another ten years, you will definitely be a general who surpasses your father, and there will be no opponents in the world." ”

"That's what Yan Jun said." , Zhao Kuo smiled, but he didn't think so, there will never be an opponent in the world again?? Now there is Bai Qi, there will be Li Mu in a few years, and there will be Wang Jian in a few decades, competing with these monsters for the position of the first general at the end of the Warring States period? Hehe, Yan Jun, it's good if you're happy.

Mother Zhao is indeed very happy, she thought that it would be difficult for her to convince this son who inherited the stubborn nature of her beloved, it seems that her son has grown up after all. Then, she recalled Zhao Hao as in the past, this time, Zhao Kuo did not leave impatiently, just sat quietly and listened to the memories of his mother.

"I served your father, when he had just become the general of the Zhao State, he personally held the food and waited for dozens of people to eat and drink, hundreds of people who were recognized as friends, and all the property rewarded by the emperor and the sons were distributed to the military officials and subordinates, from the day he accepted the military order, he no longer asked about family affairs, this is what a general should do, including, if you will command the army in the future, don't forget."

Zhao's mother is old after all, just talk for a while, then tired, to lie down to rest, Zhao Kuo helped her to the couch, then goodbye left, Zhao's mother did not want him to stay, holding Zhao Kuo's advice and said: "Kuo, after going back, don't just think about reading, you must go out for a turn, look at the terrain of different places, think about how to arrange the army in these places, read so many books, it is better for you to go and see it yourself." ”

When he walked out of the courtyard, Ge was still preparing the carriage, Ge was standing beside the thin horse, stroking the neck of the thin horse, seeing Zhao Kuo, he didn't say anything, so he jumped directly on the driver's place, Zhao Kuo got into the carriage, the carriage just staggered away, Ge's driving skills are not good, in Zhao Kuo's opinion, this is not a qualified driver, his car experience is very poor, this way around, almost vomited the meal he ate earlier.

"That Ying Yiren is not a person who can be a friend, he came to Zhao State, he used the language of Zhao State, and wore Zhao State clothes, this is because he has great ambitions in his heart, and he wore Qin State clothes to assassinate Shaojun, there must be a plot, I know that Shaojun has always liked to make friends with some villains, but if he is too close to this person, it will definitely bring disaster to the head of the family! If he comes to visit Shaojun next time, I hope Shaojun will kill him. ”

Ge said unceremoniously, but Zhao Kuo remained silent about this.

Ge wanted to say something, but in the end he let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more.

When the carriage returned to the horse clothes, the prison door opened quickly as usual, Zhao Kuo nodded towards the prison door, and the prison door was suddenly overjoyed, revealing the jagged yellow teeth, and watched Zhao Kuo go to his own mansion. Before he arrived at the courtyard, Ge stopped the carriage, Zhao Kuo stumbled backwards, almost fell off the carriage, and was about to scold, but Zhao Kuo was suddenly stunned.

In front of the door of his courtyard, I don't know when, a large group of people gathered, there were more than a dozen people, many of whom were wearing short swords around their waists, which was extremely noisy.

"Zhao Jun!" Suddenly, someone pointed in the direction of the carriage and shouted. Suddenly, these dozen people exclaimed, and rushed in the direction of the carriage, Zhao Kuo was shocked, and before he could speak, Ge suddenly jumped down from the carriage, pulled out his short sword, and stood in front of the carriage.

"Death to those who take five steps!"

Ge roared, his long hair trembling.
