On the second day, Zhao Kuo gathered the whole army and embarked on a journey back to Handan. Even if he is reluctant in his heart, he must obey Handan's orders, otherwise he will have to choose to defect to another country.

Although in the Warring States period, when etiquette collapsed, the situation of not leaving a master here can be seen at any time.

But after all, Zhao Kuo is the noble of Zhao Guozheng's eight classics, and with the prestige of Zhao Hao, the king of Ma Fu, he must not let his parents be ashamed!

In desperation, Zhao Kuo could only choose to obey the orders of King Zhao Xiaocheng, and with the regret that his ambition was not rewarded, he marched to Handan, Zhao State.

Lu Fang was left behind by Zhao Kuo as the garrison of the wild king, and he rushed to yesterday's performance, once there is any wind and grass, this wild king can become his last safe harbor.

Yu Qing has been following Zhao Kuo's side, seeing that he has been sullen and said: "General Zhao, this return to Handan will inevitably add an official to the knighthood, why are you so sullen?" ”

"Shangqing's heart is like a mirror, why do you ask me like this?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Yu Qing and said unhappily.

What's more, if you hadn't brought the Tiger Talisman to Yewang City, your grandfather and I would have been a big deal to play a game, and the monarch would not have been subject to it.

But you came up with this trick to draw salary, and you have to ask me how I feel when it's over. If it weren't for the fact that you are an important minister, I would have smoked you now, believe it or not?

Seeing Zhao Kuo's uncertain expression, Yu Qing smiled and didn't take it to heart: "General Zhao is too anxious, the king just said that he will temporarily suspend the army, and he only needs to rest for a while, and naturally there is still a chance for General Zhao to gallop across the field." ”

"Hmph, it's not that Shangqing doesn't understand the situation, and he actually makes people laugh at it by talking like this." Zhao Kuo was indignant in his heart, and naturally he didn't have a good tone towards Yu Qing.

"Oh, why are you ashamed to laugh at Yu, and ask the general to teach me?" Yu Qing was not angry, but said quietly.

"The new defeat of the Qin State, 600,000 elites all died on the Changping battlefield, which was the emptiest period of the Tiger Wolf Qin State. Did Shangqing think that Han, Wei, and Chu turned a blind eye to this? ”

"The Three Kingdoms have suffered from Qin for a long time, and the State of Chu and the State of Qin have a sea of blood feud. Will they quietly wait for the Qin State to recuperate if they have this opportunity? Absolutely not, they will definitely pounce on it and bite the flesh and blood of the Qin State. At that time, wouldn't it be so easy to conquer the city? ”

Yu Qing stroked her beard and smiled, and immediately did not refute Zhao Kuo's analysis.

Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled, he looked at Yu Qing and said, "Why is Shangqing laughing? ”

"As far as I know, the King of Qin has sent envoys to Qi and Yan. Once the two countries of Yan and Qi formed an alliance with Qin, what should happen if they attacked the rear of Wei, Chu, and Zhao? ”

"The country of Qi has long since ceased to be the grand occasion of the Western Qin and Eastern Qi, and it is only a matter of lingering. What's more, Duping Juntian Dan, the mainstay of the Qi people's restoration of the country, was already in our country at this time, so there was no need to worry at all. ”

"Yan Guo? Hehe. ”

Yu Qing also knew that in the eyes of Zhao Guo's military, Yan Guo had always been a lamb to be slaughtered, and when he remembered it, he would go to eat it, so he naturally wouldn't take such a small country to heart.

He hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I should have asked the king to inform you, but Yu Mou saw that you were indignant. ”

"The decisive battle between Qin and Zhao in Changping is the national fortune of the two countries. At this time, the other five countries were declining, and this battle was enough to lay the foundation for the Central Plains. ”

"However, my Zhao Kingdom borders the five kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, and Yan in the west, east, and south, and once the king agrees to your plan to conquer the Qin realm, the other four kingdoms must be panicked."

"When our country annexes the two counties of Hanoi and Ha Dong, and even captures Hangu Pass according to your plan, an incomparably strong country is placed in front of these five countries, what do you think they will think?"

"But if we turn back to Handan and put Hanoi, Hedong, and Bashu in front of the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Chu, they will definitely move when they hear the wind, and this so-called plan to lead the water to the west is so-called."

Zhao Kuo tugged at the corners of his mouth, these important ministers in Handan must have heard the rumors of other countries before they made such an inference, it seems that they are still some of the authorities.

Yu Qing didn't finish speaking, he pointed to the north and said secretly: "At this time, the Xiongnu also have abnormal movements, and the Zhao State can no longer afford any risk of war. As long as the more than 200,000 troops under General Zhao turn back to Handan, everything can be solved! ”

"Shangqing means that the king wants to transfer me to Daijun to defend the Huns, isn't there Li Mu there?" Li Mu is one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and later generations will still have the proverb "Li Mu dies, Zhao Guo dies". Wouldn't it be a mistake to transfer yourself to Daijun?

Zhao Kuo's words surprised Yu Qing, he looked at Zhao Kuo suspiciously and asked, "Who is Li Mu in General Zhao's mouth?" ”

Who knew that Yu Qing's question made Zhao Kuo even more surprised, he looked at Yu Qing stupidly and said, "Shangqing doesn't know Li Mu?" ”

My God, Yu Qing, as a minister beside King Zhao Xiaocheng, didn't know one of the two pillars of the Zhao military, what kind of joke is this?

Looking at Zhao Kuo's extremely serious eyes, Yu Qing frowned and thought hard, did he really miss something?

After thinking for a long time, Yu Qing realized that there was really no such person in his impression, so he spoke: "The person who served as the chief general of the Daijun cavalry was General Zhao Xian, I don't know who Li Mu was in General Zhao's mouth?" ”

Yu Qing asked Zhao Kuo so much, and in his memory, only Li Mu served as the main general in the north of Zhao State, killing the Huns in fear.

Could it be that in 260 BC, Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, had not yet emerged?

Thinking of this, he smiled wryly, trying to round out his words: "Oh, it turned out that Uncle Zhao Xian was leading the army in Daijun, and he forgot about it when he saw that I was confused for a while." ”

Yu Qing is not the kind of person who breaks the casserole and asks to the end, he looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "The Huns have moved, so that the king does not dare to act rashly. In addition, General Zhao Xian's energy is low and he has resigned many times, and the king will think of you, General Zhao. ”

Only then did Zhao Kuo understand what kind of considerations he had for transferring himself back to Handan Zhao Xiaocheng, he scratched his head and said: "The old general Lian Po is still on standby in Handan, why don't you use him?" ”

Yu Qing just smiled and didn't answer Zhao Kuo's question, and turned to something else: "So General Zhao doesn't have to be angry, this trip to Handan has his own place for generals." Besides, the general's exploits must not be easily ignored by the king. ”。

Zhao Kuo gave Yu Qing a salute, it stands to reason that Yu Qing doesn't need to explain these words to him, he only needs to take him back to Handan to complete the task.

Since Yu Qing said this, he naturally meant to make friends. Zhao Kuo has always been the same, people respect me and I respect people, so I naturally chose the result that Yu Qing wanted to see the most.
