Chapter 374: Jian Xing

"Have you ever fished?" Zhao Kuo replied and asked: "Fishing requires patience, so not everyone likes to sit by the river and wait for the fish to take the bait, the battle of Changping for Zhao Guo, is a protracted fishing process, your father General Lian Po is very patient, slowly cast the bait and wait for the fish to take the bait, but you can't ask everyone to have the same patience as your father, General Lian Po has been fishing for more than a year, and the bait has been sprinkled a lot, but not a single fish has been caught, do you say that the onlookers will continue to wait?" ”

Lian Liru seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and said: "Even if you don't have the patience to fish, can't you wait until there is no bait?" Although I don't know how to lead troops to fight, I also know that Zhao Guo has invested so much, and my father has also invested so much energy, and a will will make him turn back to Handan, which is also unreasonable! ”

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "It's okay if one person is impatient, it's okay for two people to be impatient, but what when the whole Zhao Kingdom, including the king and the subjects, lose their patience?" They can't wait for the time when there is no bait, they want to catch the big fish immediately, so they can't wait, they need to change someone, expect this big fish to be hooked immediately, this is the truth of Zhao Guo now, even I can't resist the will of Zhao Guo! ”

Lian Liru ran crazy in Handan City all day long, and her mother-in-law's family rarely went back, so she naturally knew the atmosphere of Handan City and even the entire Zhao Kingdom, and her father Lian was very critical of him, understanding was one thing, understanding was another, Lian Liru took a deep breath and said: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, King Zhao wants my father to go back to Handan to report on his work, which sounds good, to put it bluntly, I am thinking about how to cure my father's sin, I hope that the king can start from the righteousness and continue to keep my father in the Changping army, I don't know if the king can do it." ”

In fact, there is no need for Lian Liru to say, Zhao Kuo also had this idea, Zhao Kuo had already thought about it, if he couldn't get rid of the fate of Changping in the town, then he would come to an old quack doctor to prescribe medicine, change the soup without changing the medicine, and continue to leave Lian Po in Changping to preside over military affairs, he can be a nominal general, so he immediately agreed: "Don't worry!" Even if General Lian Po wants to go back to Handan, I won't let him go. ”

Lian Liru listened to Zhao Kuo's words, and felt a lot more at ease, and said: "Since the king is so cool, then I will also repay the king last time, there is a letter here, I hope it can be of great use to the king, and I leave." After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Kuo to send off the guests, and left by himself.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Liru's back and shook his head and smiled, and said: "This woman is 100% wrongborn, where is there a little bit of a woman's character!" It's all a man's style! ”

Zhao Kuo slowly opened the letter left by Lian Liru, and was stunned twice after reading it, the first is because the things written on this letter are very useful to him, and the second is that the handwriting is very familiar to him, could it be that the previous two letters were written by Lian Liru to him? This woman is really inscrutable!

Zhao Kuo put down the letter and immediately called someone to call Mao Sui to the study, handed the letter to Mao Sui and said, "Why didn't Yuanyuan and Yan Ping inform about this matter?" ”

Mao Sui read the letter, and his face changed in shock: "Guo Zong actually has the courage to do this? Isn't he going to die? Don't know which boat you're in? ”

If the content of the letter is true, it is indeed enough to make Zhao Kuo and Mao Sui change their colors, because what is written on the paper is that Guo Kai, Touch Long and others have conspired, and the Han ** military equipment that Guo Zong recently purchased is all defective products, and the winter clothes purchased from Qi are all some "black-hearted cotton", which cannot withstand the severe cold of the mountains at all.

Zhao Kuo knocked on the table with his hand and said: "Guo Zong shouldn't have such a big courage, this is a crime of losing his head, and besides, he has invested so much capital in it now, and the severity should be clearly distinguished, I think this is either Guo Kaixin's mouth, or Guo Zong's people were bought, I will let Yuanyuan deal with this matter, as for this batch of ordnance and winter clothes, temporarily seal it!" After I leave Handan, Mr. will investigate thoroughly, so as not to be used as a handle to say that I have no courage to avoid war, and Zhao Dan will probably be on fire at that time. ”

In the streets and alleys of Handan City, people are talking about the news that Zhao Kuo is about to become the chief general of Changping, and the most encouraging thing is that on the eve of Zhao Kuo's appointment, he has stopped the large-scale transfer of grain and grass to Changping, which makes many Zhao people who collect grain and grass and bear coolies breathe a sigh of relief.

And under the instruction of Mao Sui, the batch of sealed ordnance and winter clothes were also taken out to say something, while the grain and grass do not have to be transferred, the ordnance is already very sufficient, as for the winter clothes, maybe not wait for the cold winter to come, Zhao has already won the battle of Changping, which makes Zhao people surging with blood, and they all feel that King Zhao should have used Zhao Kuo to exchange Lian Po back, if it is changed early, where will the people of Zhao suffer so much!

Zhao Kuo spent three days preparing, first entrusted all the major matters to Mao Sui, returned to Macheng and reunited with his wife, children and mother for two days, and waited for Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, to hold a grand ceremony in Handan before embarking on the road to Changping.

More than one day, Zhao Kuo and his entourage arrived close to the strategic center of Changping in the Mou, Zhao before the capital of Handan, there was a short period of political transition in the Mou, about the Mou, there is also an interesting story of Confucius, when Zhao Jianzi attacked the Mou, the local magnates of the Mou wanted to stand on their own feet from the Jin State, so they sent someone to invite the ambitious Confucius to go to the Zhongmu, Confucius also had a half-red face with the student Zilu for this line! In the end, he left Zhongmu in a gloomy manner.

When Zhongmu was in Zhao Xianhou, the Zhao people worked hard to manage the city, making it a strategic place for Zhao to continue to this day.

Zhao Kuo and the others took a break in Zhongmu, because from Zhongmu to the west, they had to pass through an extremely dangerous sheep intestine road, which was not so easy to walk.

The sheep intestine is winding and difficult to walk, looming in the mountains and forests, leading to the towering Taihang Mountain, standing in the middle of the path to look at both sides, only to see the mountains and mountains, the clouds and mist are flickering, looking down you can see the villages and cities in the distance, looking up but only the vast white clouds, pressing on the top of people's heads seems to be within reach.

Meng Fu, who followed Zhao Kuo to Changping with him, sighed in his mouth, the truth in front of him can indeed be called a sheep's intestine, the danger is only one or two feet wide, and some places can only climb the cliff past, and below is the abyss, the people who see it are dizzy, and even the eyes of donkeys and horses must be covered tightly, so as not to be frightened and fall down.

The environment of the sheep intestine road is extremely complicated, just now the sun on the head, when I turned the shade, I saw a pool of water, the road was also slippery, the horses walked on it straight slippery, people also fell from time to time, from time to time there were poisonous snakes and beasts passing by, and the difficult place could not be described by words.
