Chapter 42 If the young gentleman of my family is here
This is Changping, and here is Zhao Kuo's nightmare.
Danshui is like a jade belt tied around the waist of Shangdang County, this jade belt is not big, the water flow is not fast, when Zhao Kuo and Li Mu arrived here, the bridge has been built on the river, the bridge is not wide, the carriage is not passable, Li Mu commanded, and there were soldiers began to transport grain and grass from the carriage, on their backs, they were about to cross the river, on the other side of the river, there was already a car waiting.
Zhao Kuo stood aside, looking a little uneasy.
The pilots also helped these soldiers to transport grain, and when the grain arrived here, their mission was completed, and several people found Zhao Kuo and said, "I don't dare to make the head of the family wait for a long time, please allow us to leave." Zhao Kuo looked at them and said: "The second and third sons are tired all the way, please let me set up a banquet to entertain you, and the second and third sons will talk about parting again, what do the second and third sons think?" ”
They shook their heads with solemn faces, and said, "These are our missions, and we cannot fail to complete them, and if we are rewarded for the mission we should have completed, we will be laughed at, so please let us go." Zhao Kuo nodded, and said: "Since the second and third sons are not willing to stay for a long time, then wait for a while and return alone, I am worried that the second and third sons will be ambushed by the Qin people, or return with everyone." ”
These pilots also experienced an ambush, heard Zhao Kuo's words, and felt that this was the truth, so they were no longer in a hurry to leave, Li Mu wanted to take Zhao Kuo to see Lian Po, but Zhao Kuo wanted to watch the grain be transported here, Li Mu had no choice, he could only accompany him here, although there was a lot of food, but the number of soldiers was also a lot, and a group of people appeared in the distance, they were different from Li Mu, Li Mu came to meet Zhao Kuo, and these people came to meet the grain.
When the grain and grass are transported to the other side, the carriages are empty, in this era, not everyone can ride the carriage, the carriage is the patent of the aristocracy, ordinary people are in the ox cart, in other countries, to get together such a carriage team, it is quite difficult, Zhao is not like that, Zhao exported horses year after year, in this northern country, the cattle are more precious than horses.
The riders who followed along the way, as well as those knights, looked at their empty carriage, they all felt relieved, and then, they all looked at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo stepped forward, everyone gathered around him, Zhao Kuo then said loudly: "I heard that in difficult times, even if I receive a little favor from others, I should repay it twice, and now I have received great favor from you, I really don't know how to repay the second and third sons!" ”
"Please don't say that, we can't help you."
"If I hadn't been escorted by my second and third sons, I wouldn't have been able to get here alive, how could this not be considered a favor?" , Zhao Kuo took Zhao Fu's hand on the side and said seriously: "Before you leave, I want to tell you a few things. Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please command." ”
"When you escort these riders back this time, and pass through Mafu on the way, please say goodbye to the safety of my countrymen for me. And tell my mother that these riders and knights are meritorious men who have done me a favor and slain the enemy, and that they should be rewarded, and that she should give them with all the money of her family. ”
Zhao Fu hurriedly said, "We can't ask for your reward. ”
Zhao Kuo frowned and asked unhappily, "Do you look down on my Zhao Kuo's reward?" ”
Zhao Fu lowered his head helplessly and said, "I obey your orders." Zhao Kuo looked at everyone at this time, leaned over and bowed, and said: "Originally, I wanted to set up a banquet to entertain the second and third sons, but Kuo is also a person who has left home, and can understand the feelings of the second and third sons missing their families, so I can only say goodbye like this, please take care of the second and third sons all the way!" ”
Zhao Fu hurriedly helped him up, refused to accept his big gift, everyone immediately bowed, crying and saying goodbye to Zhao Kuo, Li Mu was stunned when he watched from the side, everyone's cry even alarmed the soldiers on the other side of the river, they were also surprised to look at this side, Zhao Fu led the people to leave reluctantly, before leaving, Zhao Kuo instructed him many times, let him be more careful on the road, be careful of the attack of the Qin people.
Seeing off these people, the sky was a little gloomy, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu walked to the other side of the river, followed by Ge and Xing.
"Mafuko!!"
"Mafuko!!"
Just walked across the bridge, it was this deafening shout, tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers gathered on the other side of the river, raised their arms and shouted, they stared closely at the savior in the distance, looking fanatical, just like those girls who saw their idols in later generations, Zhao Kuo smiled at them, suddenly, the shouts were even worse, they were extremely excited, their faces were red, and even many people shed tears.
Li Mu whispered on the side: "Brother, your reputation here is already high, and then Di has been preaching your deeds here, and now you have sent so much food, I see, if you are a general, they will sacrifice their lives to fight for you." ”
Zhao Kuo didn't speak, just paused, and then continued to move forward, Li Mu just looked at the excited soldiers around him, and shook his head, these days, General Lian Po has done so much to encourage morale, it is not as good as the eldest brother with such a smile, the eldest brother is really a god.
A young lieutenant came in front of him, he walked in front of Zhao Kuo, his face was red, he was a little speechless, his eyes were full of reverence when he looked at Zhao Kuo, Li Mu snorted coldly, don't look around, and then the man spoke: "Sima Shang meets Ma Fuzi!" Is the horse in the house okay? Zhao Kuo helped him up, and then said, "I'm fine." This Sima Shang is obviously a little fan of Zhao Kuo, and hurriedly said: "General Lian Po asked me to take you to meet him." ”
On the road to Changping City, Zhao Kuo rode a horse, passed through several camps, without exception, when he heard the news of the arrival of Ma Fuzi, all these soldiers in the camp gathered at the door, poked their heads out to look, and their generals seemed to hate this kind of behavior very much, they could only come to Zhao Kuo one by one, personally apologize to him, saying that they were not able to manage the soldiers, so that they were shocked by Ma Fuzi.
Although he didn't do anything, Zhao Kuo enjoyed the treatment of an idol, and those reverent eyes were like needles piercing his heart.
Changping City is a small city, brought Zhao Kuo to the front of the city guard's mansion, Sima Shang left with Xing and Ge, he wanted to arrange accommodation for these two people, he was very reluctant when he left, three steps and one turn. He walked into the city guard mansion with Li Mu, and there was a doorman standing in the courtyard, and the doorman saw Zhao Kuo, hurriedly bowed and greeted, and then respectfully led him to the front of the house on the left and guarded the door.
"How can there be a reason in the world for younger generations to make elders wait?" , General Lian Po said loudly, he knelt on the seat, staring at Zhao Kuo who had just entered the door with bright eyes. Zhao Kuo hurriedly saluted him, Lian Po was burly, with a big square face and a long beard. Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "It's my fault for making the general wait for a long time, please forgive the general." Lian Po suddenly laughed, stood up suddenly, and walked in front of Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo is also tall, with his father, ordinary people have to raise their heads to look at themselves, but Lian Po is different, he is the same size as Zhao Kuo, and in terms of figure, he is thicker than him, I can't see that this is an old general who is over sixty years old, he is also looking at Zhao Kuo in front of him, this kid has become more handsome, but, compared to my appearance when I was young, it is far worse!
"How can people grow up so fast now, Li Mu is like this, you are also like this, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown up...", Lian Po sighed, pulled Zhao Kuo, let him sit on the seat, and sat in front of him, and said happily: "If Ma Fujun can see you doing this, he will definitely feel gratified." ”
Zhao Kuo was speechless, and Lian Po continued: "The thing he has always been most relieved of is you, he said that he has been fighting abroad for a long time, and he has not been able to spare time to teach you, which has made you infected with arrogance and arrogance, and now it seems that you are even more a gentleman than him!" If it were him, I would have questioned like that, I'm afraid I would have drawn my sword a long time ago! Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "My father is an elegant person...."
"Elegant ???" , Lian Po looked a little strange, then nodded and said, "You say yes." ”
Lian Po's face suddenly became solemn, he looked at Zhao Kuo seriously, and said, "I've been waiting for Ma Fuzi these days, and I want to ask Ma Fuzi for some knowledge. ”
Zhao Kuo subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, if you have any orders, just say it." ”
Lian Po said angrily: "Your doorman Di, he told people everywhere that I was a useless old man, if Ma Fuzi had been the general, he would have killed Bai Qi and broken through Hangu Pass, and said that Ma Fuzi had ten strategies to capture the King of Qin and destroy the Qin State, I don't know if Ma Fuzi could talk to me in detail about the ten strategies for destroying the Qin State?" How are you going to destroy the Qin State?? ”
"I...."
