Zhao Kuo knew that the war was fought with money and grain, but he didn't know that the cost of money and food was so huge, it was beyond his imagination, every day Mao Sui would report to him about his income and expenditure, in less than half a year, although there was a way for Changping to borrow money, but there were already signs of making ends meet, which made Zhao Kuo's nerves a little tense. Mao Sui sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the only way to fully mobilize the strength of Zhao State, General Lian Po sent a report today asking for more troops and increasing military supplies, if you don't mobilize the full strength of Zhao State, I'm afraid you really can't deal with it!" ”

Zhao Kuo only thought about using "financing" to fight this war, so that the weakening of the war's strength to a minimum could be minimized, but the idea was good, but the reality was cruel, and the money and food obtained from financing were far from being able to keep up with the speed of war consumption.

"I'll mention this to the king tomorrow morning, and I'll supply everything needed for the front line no matter what!" Zhao Kuo knew that this request would make Zhao Guo complain, but was there any other way?

"Kuo Shao, someone sent a letter, saying that it must be opened in person." Yu Zhang handed a letter to Zhao Kuo and said, "That person left after sending the letter." ”

Zhao Kuo opened the letter and saw that there was only one sentence on it, be careful Xu Wuji, Zhao Kuo found that the handwriting on this letter was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that when he was on the mission to Yan Kingdom, he also received such a letter, and now it can be judged that it was written by the same person.

"Xu Wuji? Isn't that an officer under Daddy! I heard that he disappeared after the battle of Yanhe, why should he be careful of Xu Wujian in the letter? Zhao Kuo handed the letter to Mao Sui and said, "Sir, you can check this matter, I also received this person's letter last time, and the credibility of what was said in the letter is very high, but I don't know who is secretly helping me." ”

Mao Sui was not very familiar with Xu Wuji, and he had never heard of such a person, so he said: "Okay, since someone reminded us to be careful of Xu Wuji, I think Yan Ping should have the corresponding information there." Mao Sui was very confident in Yan Ping, and the situation in Handan City couldn't hide Yan Ping's eyes at all.

For several months, Zhao Dan, the prince who threw off his hands, was extremely chic, and as Lian Po stabilized the situation on the Changping front, Zhao Dan was even more careless, and every day he was either having fun or fantasizing about becoming a new generation of Shang Tang Zhou Wu, which was very comfortable.

"Queen Mother, this wine is really good, I must ask the palace officials to go to Qi to buy some another day." Zhao Dan drank the fine wine brewed by Qi and was full of praise for the taste.

Tian Wei said with a smile: "If the king likes it, the mourning family will let the mother's family send some more, the king, I will toast you again." Tian Wei said that she first took a sip by herself, and then fed Zhao Dan a mouthful of it.

Zhao Dan enjoyed the taste of fine wine and Tian Wei's fragrant tongue, that kind of taste was simply enjoyed, it seems that he came to meet his mother again every other day, and the "hospitality" he got was different, what did Zhao Kuo say about it, distance produces beauty, and it is so!

"King, I heard that General Lian Po spent countless money and food on the Changping front, I don't know if this is true?" Tian Wei saw that Zhao Dan's expression was good, and asked.

Zhao Dan laughed and said: "These things don't need to be worried about by widows, Changping has Lian Po, Handan has Zhao Kuo, as long as there are these two people sitting inside and outside the town, what else is there to be afraid of widows!" ”

Tian Wei pretended to be slightly angry and said, "King, this world is our mother and son, how can the king ignore it!" Even if you delegate power, you have to supervise! ”

Zhao Dan said with a sigh: "What the queen mother said also has a certain truth, but the widow has already promised Zhao Kuo, let him handle everything with full authority, how can the widow go back on his word!" ”

Tian Wei smiled and said, "It seems that these people don't take the king in their eyes at all!" I heard that Lian Po built a large granary in Elk Mountain in Changping, and the hoarded grain was enough for the front-line Zhao army to eat for two years. ”

Zhao Dan shook his head and said, "Won't it?" Does the queen mother think that Lian Po will have a different heart! The widow thinks no, hoarding grain and grass may be a need at the front. ”

Tian Wei sighed and said: "The king is only afraid that he doesn't know, from Handan to Changping, the road to transport grain and grass is extremely difficult, all of them are high mountain and dangerous roads, Zhao Kuo sent people to transport grain and grass, which has made the people complain, and most of the servants are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the transfer of grain and grass is half the effort, and the efficiency is greatly reduced......

"How so? Can't we recruit the young and strong people? Zhao Kuo didn't quite understand why Zhao Kuo wanted to recruit the old, weak, sick and disabled to take up the job of transporting grain and grass.

Tian Wei sighed and said, "My stupid son, Zhao Kuo is according to Lian Po's instructions, and the young and strong people are afraid that they will all go to the Changping front line to fight!" I've heard that in some areas, even women are forced to serve, and I feel sorry for me! ”

Zhao Dan was a little confused by the few tears that Tian Wei shed, if things are really as Tian Wei said, then what is Zhao Guocheng like now? I delegated the power of the Changping War to Zhao Kuo and Lian Po, what I wanted was not the consequence of Zhao Guo's erosion!

Tian Wei saw that Zhao Dan already had some ideas, so she hit the railway while it was hot: "King, the battle of Changping should be resolved quickly!" The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo can't afford to drag it out! ”

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "What the queen mother said makes sense, Zhao Kuo also reported to the widow yesterday morning, and wanted to mobilize all the strength of Zhao Guo to support Lian Po, it seems that the widow is not considerate, and he actually agreed, what a mistake!" ”

Tian Wei said: "The king trusts Zhao Kuo and Lian Po, which is right, but you can't just listen to their words!" I think the king might as well listen to the opinions of other civil ministers and military generals, so that the king can know in his heart. ”

"But...... The widow has promised Zhao Kuo, and the widow can't be untrustworthy! Zhao Dan felt that once others were involved, Zhao Kuo would definitely complain.

"The king can not let Zhao Kuo and others know, this supervision will be carried out underground first, as long as the king knows in his heart, once Zhao Kuo and Lian Po have any mistakes, the king can also know at the first time and make countermeasures." Tian Wei knew that Zhao Dan had great trust in Zhao Kuo under the pressure of the Battle of Changping, and it seemed that her plan could only come slowly.
