Chapter 518: Time is Ticking
Any time the army is used, the state has a record, and it is impossible to transfer troops without a tiger charm and an edict.
After Diao has a tiger talisman and an edict, he must also have a scepter, which represents the monarch. Once you have the scepter, you can go to the officials in charge of logistics and call up logistics materials such as grain, grass, armaments, and weapons.
Otherwise, even if you mobilize a large army, it will be useless if you don't have food and grass and other military supplies. This is also one of the means used by the monarch to prevent the rebellion of his generals.
In history, Wei Wuji stole the tiger talisman of the King of Wei, but without an edict, he could only kill the general Jin Contempt, and then rely on his own prestige to command the army.
This also reflects a problem, no matter how good the system is, it is no match for someone who can mobilize a large army by brushing his face...... There are always some people whose personality charm is beyond common sense, so that the monarch has to be jealous.
The military power of Zhao has always been in the hands of Zhao Kuo, although handing over the military power to Wei Wuji and others will leave hidden dangers, but Zhao Kuo still decided to do so, not believing in the minister, but believing in the soldiers.
Even if Diao really rebelled, when he appeared in front of the soldiers, they would turn their guns, stand in front of them, and kill the enemy to quell the rebellion with themselves.
There are many righteous people in the land of Yan Zhao, and how Zhao Kuo treats the soldiers is clear to everyone. Not to mention the gratitude of gratitude, not to mention loyalty, not to mention sacrificing one's life for righteousness, just without Zhao Kuo, they will return to the previous life of barely eating enough, or even not having enough to eat, it is enough for everyone to firmly follow behind Zhao Kuo.
Besides, when Zhao Kuo had nothing to do, he went to the barracks, talked with the soldiers, and trained together, all the soldiers knew him, and he also knew many soldiers.
If this can still be successful, Zhao Kuo cut off his head and gave it to him. As for the inspection of Zhao State, it is enough to have Ben and Gai Nie to protect them, and it is impossible for there to be a danger in Zhao Country that cannot be solved by two transcendent realm martial artists.
"Your Ministers obey." Wei Wuji and the others no longer advised. Diao Zhao Kuo even left Wang Xi and Tiger Fu, even if the Six Kingdoms attacked, they were confident that they would hold on until Zhao Kuo returned.
"By the way, when the king passed by Jinyang, remember to worship the ancestral temple." Zhao Sheng reminded. Jinyang is the place where the Zhao family made their fortune, although the temple of the Zhao family is in Handan, but Jinyang still retains the ancestral temple, and worships the ancestors of the Zhao State before the capital moved to Zhongmu.
"The king remembers." Zhao Kuo nodded, although he didn't have any feelings for the ancestors and ancestors of Zhao State, but he inherited this identity, and he should sacrifice it.
"Anything else?"
"Not really."
"Then let's go." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, turned around and walked towards the harem, he needed to talk to his mother and a few concubines.
"Touring the country? Isn't it going to cost the people and money again? Zhao Guo has just been stable for two years, so it is better to toss less. When Yan heard that Zhao Kuo was going out on patrol, he put down the small clothes he had knitted for his grandson, pulled Zhao Kuo in front of him, and persuaded Dao Diao as he did when he was a child
"Mother, the child is lightly dressed, there are only a few dozen people, and they will not waste money and money. The child's trip this time is not for fun, but for better governance. Confucius once said that teaching students according to their aptitude is actually governing the country according to the place. Only by understanding the different customs of each region, the habits and needs of the local people, can we better govern the country. Zhao Kuo said.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten, I have seen the changes in Zhao Guo in the past few years, I'm afraid that you will start to be proud and become extravagant if you have achievements, since you haven't forgotten to govern the country, then I won't persuade you to be a mother." Yan nodded.
"Then the boy will go back first." Zhao Kuo got up and saluted, left the place where his mother lived, and went to the palace where Tian Shu and the others lived.
"Is the king leaving again?" When Tian Shu and the others learned that Zhao Kuo was leaving, they were instantly disappointed.
"This trip is a must, because there will be no time next year." Zhao Kuo said. By the next year, the five-year period of 200,000 captives promised to the Yan State will expire, and these 200,000 captives must be released.
At the same time, it also means that Zhao will use troops against Yan State. Diao Zhaoguo has been transporting grain for Yan for five consecutive years and feeding the people of Yan State, not to do charity, but to be able to resist less when destroying Yan, and to quickly subdue the local people after destroying Yan.
If Yan can't be destroyed quickly, everything Zhao Guo did before will have less and less effect over time.
And these 200,000 troops will also pick up their spears again and participate in the battles between Yan and Zhao. At the same time, the southern Yue and Chu countries are also preparing to move, and there is a possibility of war breaking out at any time.
To the west, the Qin State silently gathered strength. Once this war starts, it is not known when it will stop.
Zhao Kuo must erase the hidden dangers of Zhao this year, and then devote himself to the next war.

"The concubine is waiting for the king to come back." An Ning said a little unhappily.
"Do you want to come with me?" Zhao Kuo suddenly thought that he was just out on patrol, and no one stipulated that he couldn't bring his wife, Qianlong's old guy slept wherever he went, and a group of people praised him, Lao Tzu just took his wife, who dared to say anything?
"Anyway, it's okay for you to stay in the palace, so you should relax."
"This ...... Is it appropriate? An Ning said hesitantly.
"Nothing out of place." Zhao Kuo said, from the eager eyes of several people, it can be seen that they want to go.
"The concubine won't go, An'er is still young, and she can't travel tirelessly." Tian Shu's eyes dimmed and she sighed.
"The concubine stayed with her sister." Tian Yi also said.
"Then next time, if you have the opportunity, this king will accompany you on a tour." Zhao Kuo did not persuade. Diao Zhan Guo does not have the strange rule that his mother can't raise his own children, and Xiao Zhao An is less than a year old, so he really can't run around, and he can't leave his mother for a long time.
The little broken slave is already three years old, and his body is also strong among his peers, so running around is nothing.
Then take Zhao Zheng and Bin with you, and look at the great rivers and mountains of Zhao State, you can also increase your knowledge. Said to go on the road, Zhao Kuo did not delay, and left Handan City with thirty guards three days later.
As for the monarch's canopy, there is no army to protect it, and there is no need for it, not to mention bringing so many people to work and lose money, and it will not play the role of inspection.
Besides, he is not afraid of being assassinated, in any place where there are people in Zhao State, as long as he shouts that I am Zhao Kuo, the king of Zhao, there will be a group of people who will stand up to protect him, which is more useful than bringing any army.

"King, are we going to the party first?" An Ning opened the curtains, looked at the frame of the westbound car, and asked, Xiao Ponu stood on his mother's lap, holding the car window with both hands, looking out curiously, his two bright eyes were full of curiosity about the world.

"Yes, let's go to Shangdang first, see how the people there are recovering after the war, and then go north to Jinyang." Zhao Kuo said.
