Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo turned around and said to the ministers: "For example, now my Zhao Kingdom, if I don't make a decision, I am afraid that the country will be overthrown." ”

Zhao Bao was beside him, and asked: "Turning defense into offense, it sounds good." May I ask Ma Fuzi, what are the chances of winning when you go to the party? ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "The Art of War: Those who know the winner, know the way to win." Those who know that they can fight, and those who can't fight, win; Knowing the strength of both sides of the enemy and us, and those who are good at dealing with them will win; The subjects of the whole country, the officers and men of the army, those who work together, win; Fight against the slacking army with a prepared army, and win; The general is well versed in the way of war, good at power changes, and the monarch knows and trusts him, and wins; These five are the way to win. ”

Therefore, Sun Tzu said: The husband is the victor without a fight, and the temple is counted as a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! I look at it this way, and I can see the victory or defeat. ”

If Shi dared to be around, he would be puzzled. This Zhao Kuo's answer is all in the military book, and I will say it too!

Lin Xiangru was recuperating at home and did not go to court. Shangqing Yu Qing asked Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, if you want to turn defense into offense, I don't know what the so-called offensive is?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "As Er said, the offensive is offensive, and the offensive is also." The water is turbulent and can stir the rock, precisely because of its potential; The bird of prey strikes the bird and kills it with one blow, but it is also swift and fast. Therefore, the art of war: Therefore, those who are good at fighting are good at creating their momentum. ……”

Yu Qing sneered and said to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, you only know the book of soldiers, but you have no actual experience in leading soldiers, how can you win?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "Yu Qing's words are wrong. Those who know the tactics of war know the mysteries of war; The method of using military is to be single-minded. Its changes are like heaven and earth, endless; If the rivers, lakes and seas are never exhausted...... Red, yellow, blue, white, black, but colorless, but the five colors are blended, but it is dazzling......"

Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The Taoist makes the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with it, they can live with it, and they are not afraid of danger. ”

"Heaven, yin and yang, cold and heat, and time system. The earth, high and low, far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, dead and alive. Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use. All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. Therefore, the school plans to find out its feelings, and says: Who is the master? Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment? That's how I know what to do. ”

In short, Zhao Kuo talked endlessly above the court, and each of the ministers' questions could stump him.

In the end, Zhao Wangdan looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Zhao Kuo, do you know what the battle of the party means to my Zhao country?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the battle of Shangdang is a decisive battle between my Zhao State and Qin State, which is a matter of life and death. The winner lives, and the loser dies. ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded and said to Zhao Kuo: "You may take on this important task?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "King Qiyu, if you can't win, the minister will die and die for the country." ”

King Zhao's heart palpitated, and he hurriedly said to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, what this king wants is not your bones. Since this battle is a battle of life and death for my Zhao country, Zhao Kuo, if you are the commander of my Zhao army, you must return victorious! ”

Zhao Kuo's performance in the court made Zhao Wangdan finally make up his mind.

King Zhao sat down from the lord in the Dragon Palace, slowly stood up, and said slowly to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo listens to the order, the widow appoints you as the new commander of the Shangdang army, and gives five hundred gold and two hundred silks. You can lead an army of 50,000 to reinforce the Shangdang on an auspicious day, and you must defeat the Qin army within two months. ”

Zhao Kuo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, king, Zhao Kuo took the order." ”

King Zhao stepped down from the palace, helped Zhao Kuo up with his own hands, and said to Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, the army and people of my Zhao State are all the backing of the general, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the army and people of my Zhao State, and be able to defeat the Qin army in Shangdang." ”

Speaking of this, the young king continued to say to Zhao Kuo proudly: "To this day, I, Zhao Guo, am the head of all the countries in Shandong. The princes and countries are all my Zhao and Qin, and they are listed as the great powers of the world, and the Qin State is also afraid of our Zhao State. This time, if you lead the army to the battle, as long as you defeat the Qin army, you will be able to make a name for yourself in the world, and the widow will be rewarded. ”

Zhao Kuo hugged his fists again and bowed down, and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "Don't worry, my Zhao State has fought against the Huns in the north since the King of Wuling, the East Keyan Qi, and the South Han Wei, and the soldiers are brave and fierce, which can be described as invincible." This time in the battle with the Qin army in the Shangdang, my Zhao country has the right time, place and people, and is a benevolent and righteous army, and the defeat of the Qin army is just around the corner. ”

When the order of King Zhao to appoint Zhao Kuo as the commander of the Zhao army of Shangdang came out, the court of Zhao was extremely shocked.

Lin Xiangru, who was recuperating in the house, coughed up blood in a hurry. Immediately went to the palace, wanted to meet King Zhao, and gave Chen a word. But King Zhao was gone, and Lin Xiangru was helpless.

Lin Xiangru knew that the matter of changing the general was very important. After returning to the house, he personally wrote to King Zhao and admonished: "The king is famous for his name, and he is like a rubber pillar and a drum." The disciples can read the biography of their father, but they do not know the mutation. ”

Zhao Wangdan has now made up his mind, and he simply ignored Shangqing Lin Xiangru's letter.

And Zhao Kuo's mother, knowing that King Zhao appointed his son Zhao Kuo as the commander of the Shangdang Zhao army, was also very anxious. Hurriedly went to the palace to ask to see King Zhao, King Zhao got the report, knew that it was Zhao Kuo's mother who asked to see him, and thought that Zhao Kuo's mother was here to thank him, so he gave a summons.

As soon as Zhao Kuo's mother saw King Zhao, she said, "King, Zhao Kuo can't be the commander of my Zhao army!" ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he was stunned, others want their son to become bigger and bigger, what's the matter with you, old lady?

said to Zhao Kuo's mother: "What is it? ”

Zhao Kuo's mother replied: "The king, the first concubine is his father, and when he is a general, the number of those who eat and drink is ten, and the number of friends is hundreds, and the rewards of the king and the clan are all given to the military officials and doctors, and on the day of the order, they do not ask about family affairs." Once the general is now, the east is facing the court, and the military officials dare not look up to it, and the gold silk given by the king is hidden at home, and the day is convenient for those who can buy the field house. Why is the king like his father? Father and son have different hearts, may the king not be sent. ”

After listening to Zhao Kuo's mother's words, Zhao Wangdan was also a little hesitant in his heart, but the order had already been given, and it was not good to take it back at this time. What does this make the subjects of Zhao State think of themselves as kings?

The officials and people of this era also had very high requirements for the king, and the so-called "Chrysostom Yuyan" was no joke.

Thinking of the words of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, King Zhao strengthened his thoughts. said to Zhao Kuo's mother: "Mother put it aside, I have made a decision." ”

Zhao Kuo's mother didn't expect that she would belittle her son Zhao Kuo so much, and King Zhao still wanted to appoint Zhao Kuo as the commander of the army. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "The king will send it in the end, that is, if it is not worthy, and the concubine will have nothing to sit with?" ”

King Zhao waved his hand and said to Zhao Kuo's mother, "I agreed to your request." If it was really Zhao Kuo's accident, I wouldn't implicate you. ”

Just when Zhao Kuo's mother met King Zhao, the eldest husband Lou Chang also invited Zhao Kuo, who was about to go to the party, to the mansion.

For Zhao Kuo, being appointed as the commander of the Shangdang Zhao Army this time is due to the eldest husband Lou Chang. For Lou Chang's invitation, naturally there is no and it is impossible to refuse.

After Lou Chang and Zhao Kuo sat down, he said to Zhao Kuo: "The general went to the party this time, and the old man also took a lot of responsibility. I don't know what the general will do after he arrives in the party to defeat the Qin army? ”

For Zhao Kuo, Lou Chang was his benefactor, and at the same time he was valued by Zhao Wangdan, so he didn't consider the problem of leaking secrets at all. He told Lou Chang all his thoughts after going to the party.

Lou Chang was overjoyed when he heard this. said to Zhao Kuo: "In this way, the general will be able to defeat the Qin army and make great achievements for my Zhao country." ”

After Zhao Kuo left, Lou Chang wrote a letter and instructed the housekeeper: "Send someone to Qin State quickly and give this letter to my father Lou Zhu." ”

In the twelfth year of King Wucheng, on July 3, Zhao Kuo was appointed by King Zhao as the new commander of the Shangdang Zhao Army. On July 6, Zhao Kuo led 50,000 Zhao troops from Handan to Shangdang.
