Chapter 44 Make the best use of people

"Ma Fuzi has negotiated with General Lian Po about the way to retreat from the enemy?"

Sima Shang led Zhao Kuo to the place where Xing, Ge, Di and others lived temporarily, the courtyard they lived in was not bad, the scale was very large, not to mention these few people, even if there were ten more people, they could live, but it was too messy, it could be seen that the rich and noble families who lived here, after fleeing, there were probably still people who came in and looted. As soon as Zhao Kuo entered the hospital, Sima Shang couldn't help but ask.

He looked at Zhao Kuo with a burning look, and the thing in his eyes called hope.

Zhao Kuo looked at the young lieutenant seriously, but his mind once again remembered the city gate of Handan, where there was also a young man who asked him with such hope, but he was already dead. Zhao Kuo laughed, the smile was a little arrogant, he said proudly: "I rushed here from Handan, Bai Qi was afraid of me, and sent the most elite Qin State spies to assassinate me, and now that I have come to Changping alive, how can there be no way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Please rest assured, I heard that King Zhao wants to summon me and ask me to help General Lian Po and defeat the enemy together, and the Qin people are definitely not the opponent of me and General Lian Po!" , Zhao Kuo said confidently. Sima Shang laughed, he was very excited and ecstatic, and Di Ye, who was not far away, smiled and said: "I have already told the second and third sons, if my young monarch is in Changping, defeat the Qin people by backhand!" ”

Di happily talked about his affairs in Changping, and inquired about the situation of the Qin people with Li Yu and Ming, Sima Shang left very happily, he still had his own duties, Ge was sitting in the distance, arguing with Li Mu about something, the quarrel was red-faced, and Li Mu was angry with him. Zhao Kuo just looked at this picture quietly, he didn't dare to show the despair in his heart. Only he knows that whether it is attacking or defending, this is a dead end with no home.

Zhao Kuo sat on the top seat, and the doormen under his command sat on both sides, and Li Mu also sat in it, not ashamed.

"Di, you continue to stay in the army for a long time, and let more soldiers know about the tyranny of the Qin people, I have already agreed with General Lian Po, you can select four hundred people to tell them that you can help, and deliver good news at home and abroad to each camp." Zhao Kuo said, Xing thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can I ask for another hundred people?" There are so many camps that I need to be fast, otherwise it will take too much time to go back and forth. ”

"Okay, just do as you say." , Zhao Kuo nodded, and said: "Then please go to the doorman of General Lian Po, he will take you to choose, and this matter will be entrusted to you." Di patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, I will do what you have told!" He got up and left, watching him leave, Zhao Kuo looked at Xing, and he said:

"Fortunately, I heard General Lian Po say that the Qin people planted a lot of soldiers between the mountains and forests leading to Tangshan from Daliang Mountain, these soldiers hide in the mountains and forests on weekdays, and frequently attack the grain and grass transported to Daliang Mountain, which makes the situation of Da Liangshan very dangerous, I know that you are familiar with the mountains and forests, General Lian Po wants to send a captain, please follow him, find out these hidden thieves for him."

Xing nodded, and Ming on the side asked with some confusion: "Since you know that they are hiding in the mountains and forests, why don't you just send a large army to conquer?" Zhao Kuo replied: "The Qin people are surrounded in the south of the two mountains, and if the army is opened, it is very likely that the enemy's main force will be encountered. Mingcai nodded, and Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "For you, I also have something to entrust." ”

Ming lowered his head a little frustratedly and said, "I am neither as brave as Di and Xing, nor have I traveled around like Li Yu to study, what can I do to help you?" ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I heard that willow wood is not as hard as pine wood and can be made into furniture, but its branches can be woven into strong baskets, and mulberry wood does not have soft branches like willow wood, but it can be used to bless and exorcise ghosts." How can you underestimate yourself? Previously, when General Feng Ting left Shangdang, he brought a lot of wealth with him, and he was willing to give all this money, but in Zhao State, even if he had money, he couldn't buy much food. ”

"I heard that you have followed the elders of your family to Han, Wei, Qi and other places to do business, I want you to form a business brigade and go to various places to buy food and supplies."

Ming's eyes lit up, he stood up, bowed down to Zhao Kuo, and said, "I am willing to obey your orders, and I will definitely do this." Korea's not easy to go, and the Koreans who were afraid of the Qin people didn't even put the people of the party in, let alone the business travelers from the Zhao State? But Wei is different, you can directly reach Wei from Handan, that is, the road will be farther, now it is the time of the autumn harvest, although most of the countries are not allowed to sell grain, but the nobles in the countries are still willing to make some small fortunes.

Zhao Kuo finally looked at Li Yu, Li Yu had already waited for Zhao Kuo's instructions, Zhao Kuo said: "I heard that you have traveled all over the world and are proficient in the languages of various places, I would like to ask you to visit someone instead of me." Li Yu squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Does Shaojun want me to visit King Wei?" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "I want to ask you to visit Xinling Jun, Zhao State is currently facing great danger, lack of food, need his help, if you wait until Zhao State is defeated, I am afraid that no one can stop the Qin people anymore." ”

"Please tell him that even if he can't send soldiers to help, ask him to help Ming, and help him get some food, so that these hundreds of thousands of people will not be wiped out because of lack of food." , Zhao Kuo commanded, Li Yu nodded, his face was solemn, and he said, "I will leave today and rush to Wei." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, and looked at Li Mu again, Li Mu hurriedly stood up, Zhao Kuo said: "Today, when I was discussing with General Lian Po, you were also there, I won't say more, please be more careful during the inspection, the Qin people are very powerful, no matter who it is, but anyone who is close to Zhizi City, please arrest it." Li Mu nodded, his expression solemn.

Zhao Kuo smiled at this time, "The matter of Changping is going to bother the second and third sons, please be more careful with the second and third sons...", "Bang!! Before Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Ge jumped up suddenly, kicked over the wooden case in front of him, looked at Zhao Kuo angrily, and asked, "Do you think I'm old and useless?" Even a son like Li Mu can help you, can't I? If you think I'm useless, please give me a sword!! ”

Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "I was about to rush to Handan, to meet Shangjun, this time there is no protection of the second or third son, and I don't know what kind of danger there will be on the road, you are the oldest, experienced, and brave, so please drive for me and protect me to Handan." Hearing this, Ge's face was a lot better, he raised his head high, and snorted coldly, Li Mu on the side was a little worried, and he asked:

"Big brother, you went this time, there were no doormen with you, if you encountered an attack by the Qin people, what should you do? Why don't you borrow some knights from General Lian Po and follow you to Handan? ”

Goblin was furious and said angrily: "Riding robbery! Are you saying that I am not capable enough to protect Shaojun?! ”

Li Mu was speechless, his face was red with anger,

Zhao Kuo hurriedly got up to stop this conflict, he said: "Don't worry, the Qin people have lost so many spies, it is not easy to gather people in a short time, not to mention that I quietly went out of the city this time, I didn't want too many people to know the news of my departure, I am here, and the soldiers of Zhao Guo will be more at ease." There are also officials from all over the country who can seek refuge along the road, so you don't have to worry. ”

Li Mu nodded at this time.
