Chapter 018: Mutual Calculations in Times of Crisis
The general who discovered Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong has been gone for a long time, and he has not turned over and led the troops back, which means that he will be the one who will help each other. But be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years, and you can't slack off.
instructed his retainer Zhao Wuji to take his brothers to be on strict guard, and followed Zhao Wuji's daughter-in-law, who went home to get food, to meet in the mountains where Zhao Yong was hiding.
The place where Zhao Yong is hiding is indeed very secret, and there are some simple living utensils. According to Zhao Wuji's daughter-in-law, this is a hiding place for a family that has evaded soldiers and bandits countless times, and even if the enemy approaches, it will not be discovered.
Zhao Yong was looking around in a panic, and when he saw Zhao Xing coming, he grabbed Zhao Xing's hand with one hand, and asked in a slightly trembling voice because of nervousness: "How is it outside?" ”
Zhao Xing was very relaxed, sat down next to Zhao Yong, and lifted the lunch box. Today's rice is not beans after all, it is golden rice, I took a sip on it, and then stuffed the chopsticks into the hands of Zhao Yong, who was still nervously waiting for news: "As a generation of kings, your first necessary element is that Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing color and heartbeat, and you are unqualified like you." ”
Zhao Yong thought for a moment and bowed to salute: "The student has been taught." "Holding the chopsticks in his hands, it seems to be incense to Zhao Xing, which is very unlucky.
"That general has been gone for a long time, and everything is peaceful outside, so it proves that he is Feiyi's subordinate, not Gongzijie's lackey."
After getting the news, Zhao Yong relieved his heart, and easily knelt beside Zhao Xing, stretching out his chopsticks to eat.
The rice is soft and sweet in the mouth: "But I still don't dare to slack off." My retainer Zhao Wujian has gathered more than fifty strong men, all of whom have been veterans of many conquests, and I have arranged for them to set up a guard position on the slopes of the main road to prevent accidents. ”
"Zhao Wujian has no problem, but what about the loyalty of the others?"
Zhao Xing said lightly: "I have accepted their contributions, they are already my family arm, or the lord's arm, or the feudal lord's arm." "That means, you can choose one for me.
Zhao Yong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
"Not good." Zhao Xing firmly hit his self-confidence.
"Why?"
"Because I only have one person, they can't be called my family armed yet, I don't have a fief yet, so they are not a lord's arm, and I am not a feudal monarch, so they will not be a feudal monarch, I am afraid that I will disappoint them, because of disappointment and hesitation, so their loyalty is not guaranteed." This is a coercion of secondary fruits.
For such reasoning logic, Zhao Yong believes that it is right.
Drop the chopsticks, then pull up Zhao Xing and leave.
"Hey, hey, what are you pulling me to do without eating?"
"I'll go with you now to your armament and fulfill your promise."
Zhao Xing's heart was ecstatic and threatened to succeed.
Coercion, it must be at a critical time, and the conditions must be put forward, and it must be when the other party needs its own conditions the most.
Pretending to be reluctantly pulled by Zhao Yong, he returned to the hillside position.
When these men saw Zhao Yong coming, they already knew his identity, so they knelt down and worshipped, calling them the prince.
Zhao Yong took Zhao Xing's hand, stood in front of these men, and announced loudly to them: "I, the prince of Zhao, the future monarch of Zhao, no, I am Hou, Hou, the future king of Zhao." ”
Zhao Xing covered his face, and he had worked hard to teach him to abide by the rules and not be capricious, but it was in vain. This unruly self-proclaimed king again, isn't this asking for trouble in Zhou Tianzi's jurisdiction.
"I now solemnly promise you that if you protect me safely and return to Handan and ascend to the throne, I will give this piece of your land to my teacher Zhao Xingzi as a fief of Shiyi, and my teacher Zhao Xingzi as the Daijun Xingjun."
In this era, the secretaries did not have a fortune, they were all fiefdoms for food, according to the level, there were large and small, this land was well managed, you would eat fragrant and spicy food, and if this land was not well managed, you would eat wind and drink dew.
Of course, the fief must also be paid to the king. The Xian Na Ke in this era is different from Zhou Tianzi, but it is real money. If it is not given, the fief will be confiscated. Defy? Hit you and vomit blood. Of course, when you are stronger than the king, well, if you don't give it, you won't give it. The Warring States period was the beginning of the era when fists were really important.
Hearing this heavenly painting, more than 50 men immediately cheered with ecstasy.
Zhao Xing touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "You may not be able to be the king of the king's painting cake, you just believe it, and it's not you, it's me, how happy are you." ”
Of course, the men are happy, and they are happy that they can be Zhao Xing's subjects in the future.
The so-called feudal monarch, that is not everyone's success, he must be the son of the monarch, can be the king, for example, Xinling Jun, Changping Jun and other four gentlemen of the Warring States, he himself from an inexplicable and wonderful person, suddenly became a feudal monarch, this unruly to the point that there is no one.
Of course, these are all details, and at this time, you shouldn't care about these details that are beneficial to you. If you teach him not to follow the rules willfully in this regard, then you will really be a fool.
Especially when this morale boost, loyalty, and let these people work hard, they can't care about these details.
Proudly seeing that he had bought these fifty loyal people, Zhao Yong thought that he already had the means and courage of the king.
In fact, I am a little proud in my heart. That's this teacher of his own, who was used by himself.
Daijun is the northernmost region of the Zhao Kingdom, closely connected with the Hu people. The Hu people are cruel and warlike, every autumn, the fragrance of wheat in the fields of Zhao will always waft to the north, so the Hu people know that the grain of Zhao has been harvested again, and the day of their Hu people's harvest has come again. At this point, they will pounce like hungry wolves. This area is another killing field.
Therefore, no minister in Daijun was willing to receive a fief here, and no capable general of Zhao was willing to defend here.
This time, he just handed over Daijun to a teacher whose ability was invincible and unknown, and asked him to watch Daijun for Zhao Guo, solve Zhao's worries, and let Zhao Guo go all out to deal with the overlord Wei State and his old enemy Qin Qiyan, and at the same time, eliminate the confidant Zhongshan.
This kind of thinking is not what this child thinks, it is what his parents and grandparents have been planning this way, and this is a public thing. It's just that this little guy played a little trick on the occasion and bullied this teacher without knowing. There is no family affection in the heavenly family, that's the truth, what's wrong with the teacher, the father is pitted, not to mention the teacher. As for who is smart, that's a matter of opinion.
