At first, when he heard Handanzao's words, Zhao Kuo was still a little afraid, afraid that he was sent by King Zhao to let him go to the battlefield, listening to Handanzao's later words, Zhao Kuo realized that it was not the same thing at all, this was not appointed by King Zhao, but a few enthusiastic young people in Handan City, because they couldn't stand Zhao's military defeat, they were filled with righteous indignation, and Zhao Kuo's appearance brought them great hope!

So they thought about taking their own doormen, following Zhao Kuo, to break Qin, well, these people's doormen add up to a lot, there are more than 300 people, yes, they want Zhao Kuo to lead these more than 300 people, go to the battlefield, kill Wang Di, break through Hangu Pass, and capture the King of Qin.

Hehehe.

Just when Zhao Kuo wanted to let his doorman fork this madman out, Xing walked into the courtyard again, he lowered his head, trying not to let others see the black blue on his face, his right eye was a little open, he said: "There is a guest coming, call Xu Li." ”

Zhao Kuo was shocked, the memory in his mind told him that this Xu Li was very big, he was a friend of Zhao Hao, almost a disciple of Zhao Hao, and now he is serving as a secretary in Zhao State, it is said that he is an official in charge of military architecture, Zhao Kuo can't remember clearly, after Zhao Hao's death, this Xu Li also took care of Zhao Kuo, and often came to test his knowledge, of course, when it comes to the art of war, Xu Li has never won Zhao Kuo.

Every time he came, he was speechless by this young man who was more than ten years younger than himself, which made Xu Li's visit to Zhao Mansion gradually decrease, and in recent years, there was no news, but even so, Zhao Kuo respected this elder very much, and treated him with child courtesy. Zhao Kuo hurriedly stood up and wanted to greet Xu Li in person, Handan Zao was still waiting for Zhao Kuo to reply, but when he heard that Xu Li was coming, he didn't dare to say more, and sat in the ranks of the doormen, not ashamed.

Zhao Kuo walked out of the door, and saw the elder, Xu Li frowned, his face was resolute, standing upright, mighty, Zhao Kuo hurriedly saluted to see, Xu Li looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, but did not say anything, and walked directly into the courtyard, Zhao Kuo followed behind him, walked into the courtyard, many guests in the courtyard got up to meet, Xu Li did not return the salute, coldly glanced at the people present, and suddenly stared at Handanzao.

Handan Zao lowered his head, in Handan City, the person he was most afraid of was Xu Li, when Xu Li was just an official who managed public security, he was strict in law enforcement, jealous and hateful, Handan Zao didn't know how many times it fell into his hands, now seeing him, Handan Zao was a little panicked, fortunately, Xu Li didn't scold him, he just pulled Zhao Kuo, and walked into the inner room with him, a few doormen wanted to follow, Zhao Kuo shook his head, signaling them to stay.

After entering the room with Xu Li, Zhao Kuo hurriedly found a seat, and the two sat facing each other.

"Kuo, now is not the time to greet and get close, the Qin people's desire to destroy the Zhao State is known to everyone, yesterday, a businessman came to visit me, his name is Lu Buwei, he said to me, now the Zhao State has reached the critical point of life and death, the only one who can save the Zhao State is you Zhao Kuo, he wants me to enter the Yan Shangjun and use you as a general." , Xu Li said seriously.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Did you promise him?" ”

Xu Li sighed for a long time, and then said: "I didn't ask him to give money, at this time, a businessman spends money on the affairs of the state, how can I ignore the affairs of the country because I am related to you?" I recommended you to Shangjun. ”

"What?!" , Zhao Kuo almost jumped up, but Xu Li said with some regret: "However, Shangjun refused to listen to me, and did not use you as a general." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, can't you finish speaking at one time? Zhao Kuo was a little confused, although he didn't know why King Zhao didn't use himself as a general like in history, but this is a good thing.

He said helplessly: "You don't know, I suddenly became famous in the Zhao State and was praised by everyone, the reason is that the Qin people want to use me to replace General Lian Po, so as to destroy the Zhao State." You shouldn't have recommended me to King Zhao. ”

Xu Li's eyes widened, and he thought for a moment before he exclaimed, "It's my mistake!" I almost put Zhao Guo in danger! ”

Zhao Kuo also understood that his elder, maybe he had some ability to fight, but in terms of politics, he really didn't have any strategy at all, such unreliable rumors, plus a well-spoken Lu Buwei, so he bluffed his elder, fortunately, King Zhao did not agree, otherwise, there would really be a big incident.

Xu Li reacted, and was immediately annoyed, he hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go back to Handan, find that Lu Buwei, and kill him again." ”

At this time, Zhao Kuo, who had already passed the period of confusion, was not so anxious, he calmly asked Xu Li to sit down, "The root of this matter is not in Lu Buwei, the reason why the Qin people want to do this is because they are afraid of General Lian Po, not me." The most important thing now is to make Shangjun trust General Lian Po, and not let Shangjun have the idea of abandoning General Lian Po. ”

"Otherwise, even if I didn't take over General Lian Po, someone else would take over, in Zhao State, only General Lian Po could resist the Qin people."

Xu Li was overjoyed, and then said: "At this point, you can rest assured that Shangjun treats General Lian Po as well as an elder, and Shangjun will not remove General Lian Po's general." ”

If I hadn't studied history, I would have really believed in your evil! Zhao Kuo scolded secretly in his heart, realizing that Xu Li did not take this matter to heart, he put up the shelf of Zhao Guoren for the first time, and said seriously: "I heard a story, once there was a fellow villager with the same name as Zeng Zi who killed someone, someone found Zeng's mother and told her: Zeng Shen killed someone, Zengzi's mother said: My son will not kill, and he will continue to weave like nothing." ”

"Another person came to Zeng's mother and told her: Zeng Shen killed someone, Zengzi's mother was a little puzzled and stopped weaving, and a third person came to find Zeng's mother and told her: Zeng Shen killed people, Zengzi's mother dropped the pestle in her hand and fled over the wall."

Xu Li looked at Zhao Kuo thoughtfully, and Zhao Kuo said again: "Now that Shangjun trusts General Lian Po, can he compare to Zeng's mother trusting Zengzi?" ”

"I can't."

"Can General Lianpo's reputation be compared to Zengzi?"

"Neither can we."

"Even with Zengzi's reputation, Zeng's mother's trust in him can't stop the rumors, so what about Shangjun and General Lian Po?"

Xu Li stood up solemnly and bowed to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo hurriedly got up, avoiding his big salute, Xu Li smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you have grown to this point, perhaps, you can really defeat the Qin people when you come to be a general." I will prevent these rumors from entering the ears of the Emperor, and I will definitely tell you these words. ”

"Don't tell Shangjun, lest he really have the intention of replacing General Lian Po with me!" , Zhao Kuo admonished, Xu Li nodded, then walked out of the room, Zhao Kuo sent him to the door, fortunately stood at the door, saw him go out, hurriedly avoided, Xu Li then remembered his matter, and said to Zhao Kuo unhappily: "When Ma Fujun was here, he often said to me, only people who are far away from villains and close to gentlemen can make a difference, and you are now reusing villains like him, but ignoring the talents of fellow villagers, what is the reason?" ”

Zhao Kuo was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”

"This person, when I asked for a bribe when I entered the door, you can know that he is a villain, and the prison gate of the horse service can stop my car and act impartially, and you can know that he is a gentleman, I hope you can stay away from the villain and reuse a gentleman like the prison door." , Xu Li commanded, and then got into the carriage. Zhao Kuo frowned, recalling the prison door with a smile on his face and bent his knees....

Could it be that the prison gate in our township has been replaced??

He doesn't look like a gentleman on weekdays. Zhao Kuo was thinking about it, but Xing on the side knelt on the ground, lowered his head in shame, and said: "I have lost the face of Shaojun, and I hope that Shaojun can execute me." ”

Zhao Kuo looked at him and sighed, these days, he also saw that there was only one lucky person under his command who could really be appointed, these days to entertain all kinds of visitors, or to stop some daring liars, fortunately played a great role, so Zhao Kuo asked him to be responsible for the reception, if there was no him, thinking about Ge's head high, Zhao Kuo still felt that it was better to stay.

"I don't blame you for your actions this time, but moral people like money, and it is all obtained through the right methods, and I hope you will remember that."

Fortunately, he bowed to Zhao Kuo again, his eyes red.

"I wrote it down, because of Shaojun's kindness to me, I am willing to die with Shaojun."

Zhao Kuo smiled, helped him up, and went back to the hospital, he didn't know that at this time, it was not an empty word that he was willing to die with the head of the family.

During the period of Qin Mugong, he once set up a banquet to entertain his ministers, and during the banquet, he said: "Our monarchs and ministers were so happy when they were alive, and it would be great if they could be together after they died." So, the three ministers, Dying, Zhongxing, and Needle Tiger, said to him, "We are willing to die with you." Later, Qin Mugong died, and the three of them immediately committed suicide and followed Qin Mugong to enjoy themselves.

In this most faithful era, living and dying together is definitely not just an empty word, only the most loyal doormen dare to say this.
