Chapter Twenty-Seven: Please Sit Tight
Zhao Kuo left very simply, fortunately with Li Yuhu beside him, walked out of the courtyard, Ying Yiren did not stop him, he just quietly watched Zhao Kuo leave, when Zhao Kuo left the courtyard, he took another sip of wine.
"Alas, I still underestimate him, Zhao has such a warrior, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy."
It's just that the Qin people are eager for military exploits, so how can they let the enemy go? Ying Yiren shook his head, grabbed a leg of mutton, and ate it.
When he walked out of the mansion of Ying Yiren, Zhao Kuo looked very angry, Li Yu had just arrived, and he had never seen him so angry, but compared to the original rough people under Zhao Kuo, he still understood the truth of the minister's worries for the king, escorted Zhao Kuo into the carriage, and walked towards the outside of the city together, Li Yu asked: "What makes the young monarch so angry?" If Zhao Yiren insults you, please let me kill him. ”
"He didn't insult me."
"Please go back and tell my mother that I am going to Dongwu City, please don't worry, and in addition, tell the prison gate to beware of the Qin people's spies and carefully check the visitors in and out of Mafu Township." , Zhao Kuo commanded, Li Yu was stunned, then hurriedly stopped the carriage, bowed down to Zhao Kuo, and said: "After I served Shaojun, I didn't make any contributions, but I enjoyed Shaojun's hospitality. ”
"If you want to go to Tobu Castle, please take me with you, and I will lay down my life to solve your worries. What's more, Tobu Castle is not close, and the journey needs food and a change of clothes, so how can Shaojun go to Tobu Castle without making adequate preparations? ”
Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment before he said, "Then do as you say." Ge then drove back to Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo wanted to go to Dongwu, not on a whim, this was one thing he was thinking about, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, the fief is Dongwu City, he is going to meet Pingyuan Jun this time, Pingyuan Jun has a great reputation in Zhao State, although Zhao Kuo now has a vague blue better than blue posture, and his prestige shocks all directions, but in front of Pingyuan Jun, there is still something not enough to see.
Pingyuan Jun has a good name, has thousands of customers, has a lot of wealth, is rich enough to rival the country, and has a wide range of contacts, and has a lot of friends in various countries, if there is a person who can save Zhao Guo, then, that person should not be Zhao Kuo, it should be Zhao Sheng. Zhao Kuo is now aware of the most important problem. Lian Po was stationed near the Dan River, and he was troubled a lot, the soldiers were not as elite as the Qin people, the food was not as sufficient as the Qin people, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they would be incompetent.
Even in terms of information, the Qin people can know the situation of various countries well, but the Zhao people don't know anything about the Qin people, not to remind themselves, maybe Lian Po is so old that when he is replaced, he doesn't even know that Bai Qi is going to replace Wang Ji as a general, Zhao Kuo doesn't want to watch hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Zhao State being killed, even if this matter is beneficial to the unification of the world, but with so much trust and expectations of Zhao people, Zhao Kuo is really unwilling to sit idly by.
Zhao Kuo thought about it for a long time, all he could do was to try his best to smooth out the gap between the two sides, so that Lian Po could resist with peace of mind, no matter how strong the Qin State was, it would be impossible to station that many troops on the front line for a few more years, so the Qin State would not be able to bear it. The gap in morale can still be made up by other means, but in terms of food, Zhao Kuo has no way to conjure up food out of thin air.
Therefore, the most important issue at present is the issue of food.
Although Zhao Kuo himself has no food, but Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng he has, and he knows a lot of people, if he can use Pingyuan Jun as the mainstay, mobilize the nobles of Zhao State, and support some grain and grass for the soldiers of Zhao State on the front line, it can not only solve the urgent needs of General Lian Po, but also play the role of rewarding the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone. However, the main question is Yu Pingyuanjun, whether he is aware of the danger of Zhao Guo and whether he is willing to help?
In the rumors, Zhao Sheng has always been kind and benevolent, and he is also very willing to help his friends, Zhao Kuo has only met him a few times, and he does not have too deep friendship, for this, he does not dare to confirm this, after all, even a person like him can be rumored to be a general who is far beyond Lian Po, however, Zhao Sheng's relationship with his father Zhao Hao is very good, this point, there is no need to doubt.
When Zhao Hao was young, he was just a field official, responsible for collecting land rent, Zhao Sheng's family refused to pay taxes, and used Zhao Sheng's name to intimidate Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao was angry, and killed nine people in charge of Zhao Sheng's family, Zhao Sheng was very angry, and sent someone to catch Zhao Hao and wanted to kill him, Zhao Hao said to him: "You are the son of Zhao Guo, but you want to connive at your family not to pursue official business, then the law of the country will be weakened, and Zhao State will be weakened." ”
"After the weakening of the Zhao State, the princes will definitely invade, so that the Zhao State will no longer exist, how can you continue to enjoy the wealth you have now? With your dignity, the prestige of Zhao State, as long as you can obey the law, you will follow suit, in this way, Zhao State will definitely be stronger, and Zhao State is strong, do others dare to underestimate you, the son of Zhao State? ”
Zhao Sheng hurriedly let people release Zhao Hao, felt that he was very talented, and recommended him to King Zhao, King Zhao then let him be responsible for the tax of the whole country, Zhao Hao did a good job, there was no greed for ink, so that the people of Zhao were rich, the treasury was full, since then, the relationship between Zhao Hao and Zhao Sheng is very close, before Zhao Hao died, and arranged his own guests to serve Zhao Sheng, which is enough to see the intimacy of the two.
As Zhao Hao's son, Zhao Kuo felt that he should still have some status in Zhao Sheng's heart, even if it was in his father's face, he should listen carefully to his thoughts.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo instructed Ge to stop the carriage, got out of the car, and came to the front of the prison gate, the prison gate still looked a little trance, as if he could not get out of the blow of his brother's death, Zhao Kuo held his hand and said seriously: "Zhao Guo will soon be victorious, when the time comes, I will personally find your brother for you and bury him." ”
The prison door was stunned, his eyes were red, he grinned, and said, "Ma Fuzi is finally going to the party?" When you want to pass, please take me with you, I don't want to be an official anymore, I want to kill the Qin people. ”
Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you, I found that there are many Qin spies in Zhao State, I want you to be more vigilant, and carefully check the people who come and go, don't let the Qin spies mix into the Mafu township." ”
The prison door nodded heavily, and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Back at the mansion, Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked Ge to prepare to go to Tobu Castle, while he himself went to say goodbye to his mother.
"You're going to meet Plains-kun?" When Zhao's mother heard this, she was a little surprised, and then she straightened her face and said: "Your father is good friends with Pingyuanjun, your father is a person who pays attention to face, if you bother Pingyuanjun because of some trivial matters, won't you lose your father's face?" Even if Hirahara-kun helped you in your father's face, it would disappoint your father, and if he questioned me in the future, how should I answer him? ”
"Yan Jun, this is not a trivial matter, this is a major matter related to the fate of Zhao State, he Zhao Sheng is the son of Zhao State, if Zhao State is destroyed, what will happen to him?"
Mother Zhao picked up her head, gently knocked on Zhao Kuo's head, and said unhappily: "Your father will not call Pingyuan Jun by his name!" ”
"So I'm not my father, I'm Zhao Kuo."
"Be careful on the road. I got some peaches for you, I wanted to.... Forget it, you eat on the way. ”
"Got it, Yan Jun, please don't worry, I'll be back soon."
..............
A carriage appeared outside Handan, there was no one in the carriage, only a burly man, driving the carriage, the appearance of a dusty servant, his clothes were a little torn, his lips were cracked, his face was pale, his expression was in a trance, and he kept muttering something in his mouth. If you can get closer, you can hear him repeating a sentence over and over again.
"Qin Zhi is afraid, and Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, is the general..."
"Qin Zhi is afraid, and Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, is the general..."
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Handan City in front of him, and suddenly, Dou Da tears slipped across his face, he waved his horsewhip, and shouted loudly at the empty rear car: "Master of the house! Sit tight! We're in Handan!! ”
