In the afternoon, Zhao Xie raised the account and ordered the army to pull out the camp tomorrow, and let Du Zhen lead 20,000 troops to stay.

In the evening, the soldiers began to prepare and packed some of the supplies in advance.

Early the next morning, more than 47,000 Zhao troops left the camp and embarked on the journey south.

The camp was more than 130 kilometers away from Xiangguo, and the foot soldiers marched on foot, as well as grain and grass, and even if the march was on the plain, it would normally take three days.

The army marched south, and along the way, Li Zuoche, Yang Fu, Yu Wei and others followed King Zhao.

As for Chen Yu, although he was removed from the post of general, he was still Cheng Anjun of Xiangguo and Zhao Wangfeng, and he was still the head of the ministers, Meng Tong, Wen Shidi, Lu Tian, and Gong Zhi were often accompanied by him.

Zhao Xie rode a long distance again, although he was not in a hurry, but without stirrups, it was still uncomfortable to sit on horseback.

In due course, he would invent the stirrup. It is not difficult to equip stirrups, it takes time to build iron stirrups on a large scale, you can replace them with cloth stirrups first, as long as there is enough cloth, you can install them on the war horse at any time.

Equipping stirrups is not a matter of technology, but of human imagination, and once stirrups are introduced, they will surely be quickly imitated everywhere in the world.

As you can imagine, when a cavalry equipped with stirrups suddenly appears, it will have a huge advantage against the enemy cavalry. As for when it will be implemented, Zhao Xie will depend on the situation and make it as valuable as possible.

Three days later, the capital of Zhao was Xiangguo.

Outside the North Gate, the civil and military officials of the Zhao State gathered here to prepare for the return of the King of Zhao.

They had received a message from Kuaima in advance that King Zhao would arrive around noon today.

The queen is also here, she already knows the deeds of King Zhao, she is happy for this, as the queen, why don't you want her husband to be a Ming Jun, the changes of King Zhao in the past half a month have made her see hope.

"Look, Queen!" A palace maid said.

Zhao Qian looked north, and countless figures faintly appeared, finally back.

"Meet my king!"

When King Zhao arrived, the officials saluted in unison.

In this period, the official titles and systems of the Zhao State were different from those of the Qin Dynasty, and part of the original system of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period was restored.

The civil official positions mainly include: False Appearance (Deputy Prime Minister), Imperial History, Sikou (in charge of criminal law), Neishi (equivalent to the Ministry of Households), Lieutenant (in charge of personnel), Eunuch Order (equivalent to the head of the Inner Court), Siguo (picket official), Sikong (equivalent to the Ministry of Industry) and so on.

The official positions of military generals mainly include generals, generals, national lieutenants, metropolitan lieutenants, and metropolitan commanders.

Zhao Xie glanced at the civil and military officials, and combined with the memory of the original Zhao Xie, now Zhao Guo can be said to be short of talents, some officials hold two or three positions, if the country wants to be strong, this situation must be changed as soon as possible.

He said loudly: "The Han army has retreated, and tomorrow we will go to the court to discuss matters and enter the city." ”

A personal soldier came to lead the horse for Zhao Xie and let the horse enter the city on foot.

The queen followed in a chariot.

A group of soldiers guarded King Zhao, and the soldiers behind entered the city in an orderly manner.

Some of the people in the city spontaneously came out to welcome them, although this Jingcheng battle, the Zhao army and the Han army could only be regarded as a military tie, but the performance of King Zhao was praised by many people. The current King Zhao has a certain prestige in the eyes of the people.

The team marched along the main road, and Zhao Xie observed the ancient city attentively.

The city of Xiangguo is not large, most of the city is a one-story tile house, only a few have two floors, and most of them look old.

Along the way, only the main road is paved with bricks, and the small streets and alleys connected to the main road along the way are not only not paved with bricks, but also have a lot of garbage. As you can imagine, as soon as it rains, it will not only become potholes and mud, but also stink.

Just the urban construction management made Zhao Xie very dissatisfied.

As for the common people, most of them are very plainly dressed, and some have patches on their clothes. The physical appearance of these people, if according to modern standards, belongs to the yellow-skinned, thin-skinned, and malnourished type. Fatty, in this plane, there are very few of them.

It's right to think about it, in ancient times when productivity was backward, it was good to be able not to go hungry.

This is very different from the costume scenes in modern film and television dramas, which are generally filmed in film and television cities, with magnificent buildings and most of the people in the play dressed brightly. The real life of the ancient people, that would be so good.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Xie went straight into the palace, and Zhao Qian personally took off Zhao Xie's armor and changed into regular clothes.

Zhao Qian said: "King, that day, the concubine didn't believe your words, until the news came from the front, sure enough, Zhao Guo was almost mistaken by Xiangguo, fortunately, the king noticed it in time and rushed to the camp with his troops in time." ”

Joy filled her heart.

During this time, she was happiest when she married Queen Zhao. If Chen Yu led the troops to defeat the Han army, she would never be so happy, only if her husband is really in power and becomes a promising king, she is most willing to see.

Zhao Xie said: "Although there is no widow without Xiangguo, but Xiangguo's ability is really limited, and he can't beat Zhang Han at the end of Qin, and now he can't beat Han Xin, but Xiangguo has made great contributions, and the country lacks talents." If there is no talent to assist, there is no hope for Zhao Guo, and the widow must change this situation. ”

The husband had this ambition, Zhao Qian was happy again, and proposed: "King, if you believe in the doctrine of Feng Huang Lao and practice the rule of inaction, you can let him recommend Taoist talents to you." ”

Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, hundreds of schools of thought in China contended, and Yang Bing belonged to the Taoist school, which naturally promoted Taoist political ideas.

Chen Yu's ability to govern the country is limited, and in addition to making decisions on major matters, Yang Bing usually handles most political affairs.

Zhao Xie said: "It's just that Taoism is enough!" There are hundreds of schools, no matter which one, as long as it is a talent, the widow will definitely be applicable. ”

When he was in the camp of Jingcheng, Zhao Xie thought about how to govern the country in the future. Each faction has its own strengths, and he should try his best to gather the strengths of a hundred schools and use them for his use.

Zhao Qiandai frowned lightly and said: "However, there are some schools that have great conflicts with each other, and even water and fire are incompatible, so you can only have a choice, the king." ”

Among the hundred schools of thought, each faction will have different academic ideas, political propositions, and governing concepts. Among them, Confucianism and Mohism are more seriously opposed in thought.

For this problem, Zhao Xie has also thought about it, he can only try to balance it well, and the key to this aspect still depends on the king's means and ability.

When it came to the hundred schools of thought, Zhao Qian wanted to say something more, but in the end she couldn't help but say nothing.

The clothes have been put on, Zhao Xie looked at himself in the bronze mirror, this face is quite handsome, and he can be called a handsome guy in modern times.

The crisis has passed for the time being, Zhao Xie is refreshed, he has lofty goals, ambitions, and the heart to do a big job, and he must work hard to build Zhao Guo.
