On the last day of October, Pang Xuan's army returned to Handan from the state of Qi, and arrived in Handan with the Zhao army, along with the 50,000 Qi army led by Wang Sunjia.

Not only because of Zhao's request, but Qi itself was also angry with Qin.

If it weren't for the Qin State, the Qi State would not have suffered such an unwarranted disaster at all, not only was it attacked by the enemy army to the national capital and forced to sue for peace, but it also lost a large area of land south of the Great Wall and near the Lu State.

After the Zhao army retreated from the Qi state, the Chu army also had to withdraw its troops and return home.

At this time, the State of Qi had already reconciled with the State of Zhao, and if the State of Chu insisted on continuing to attack the State of Qi, it was likely to anger the State of Zhao.

Although he was very unhappy with the Zhao State, the Chu State did not want to provoke this behemoth entrenched in the north.

However, Zhao withdrew without consulting with Chu, which made the Chu Dynasty very unhappy and refused to attack Qin with Zhao.

On November 5, Zhao Kuo led the three armies to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony outside the city of Handan, sacrificing heaven and earth, sacrificing ancestors and ancestors, and sacrificing the soldiers who had died for Zhao State.

"Order, the whole army is out." After the sacrifice was over, Zhao Kuo walked off the altar, turned over his horse, waved his long whip, and said loudly.

Woooooo

The sound of heavy painted horns sounded, and under the leadership of the generals, the front army became the rear army, the rear army became the front army, and the Zhao army turned into a long snake and marched towards their respective docks in an orderly manner.

Zhao Guo built dozens of wharves outside Handan City, Niushoushui, Fushui, Zhangshui and other places, and now all the wharves have been requisitioned by the government.

In order to be able to transport all the soldiers at one time, Zhao Kuo requisitioned all the ships of the navy, including some fishing boats, and borrowed fifty building ships from the Qi State.

At this moment, the south bank of the river was filled with all kinds of boats, which lined up in long lines, waiting quietly for the soldiers to come, and the north bank was vacant for ships to sail.

There are a lot of people on both sides of the strait.

Some men who signed up for the enlistment, but were not selected, sighed, looked at the soldiers who were on the expedition with envy, and hated to replace them, and followed King Zhao to the front line to kill the enemy.

Some children stood on the shore, looking curiously at the warships in the river, it was the first time they had seen so many big boats, and the children who didn't know why raised their heads and asked their parents, but their parents couldn't answer, and they saw it for the first time.

As the soldiers appeared in front of everyone, cheers and cheering words gradually sounded on the shore, and then gathered into the local folk songs of Zhao State. Everyone sang a song and sent the soldiers off for the battle, wishing them a triumphant victory.

"After the widow goes on the expedition, all the affairs of the Zhao Kingdom will be handed over to you." Zhao Kuo stood on the shore, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of all the ministers, and then he bowed.

"The ministers will definitely guard the Zhao Kingdom for the king." The ministers said solemnly.

"Let's go." Zhao Kuo turned around and got on the boat.

Soon, the warship moved, slowly moving eastward along the current.

The sea boats could not enter the small rivers of Fushui and Niushoushui, so they stayed at the Tianjin ferry on the bank of the Yellow River, and they had to go to the Yellow River Tianjin ferry first, and then change the big boat at the Tianjin ferry and go to Xingyang.

"Let's go, go back." Seeing that Zhao Kuo's boat slowly disappeared from view, Zhao Sheng felt a little lost in his heart, waved his sleeves, and turned around and walked towards the city.

"I'm going to work overtime again." Touching the dragon sighed, he was older than Lin Xiangru, and he felt more and more powerless in the past few years.

A few years ago, he had plans to leave the Zhao court, but at that time, Zhao Kuo had just succeeded to the throne, and he was worried that he would be misunderstood by Zhao Kuo if he left.

It doesn't matter if he touches the dragon itself, but his son and grandson are all in the Zhao court, and he can't help but think about his descendants.

Later, the doctor helped him regulate his body, and developed a medicine that could last a few years.

But this year there are a lot of affairs, and Touch Long works overtime with those young people every day, and even Lin Xiangru can't support it, let alone him.

"Swallow land needs to be treated, grain and grass must be treated, roads must be built, pastures and breeding farms must be expanded

build, armaments to build...... Hey!" Thinking of the government affairs that can never be handled, Lin Xiangru also sighed deeply.

In the past, when Zhao Kuo was there, he could also help them share it, although Zhao Kuo often did the shopkeeper, but when he really dealt with government affairs, he could still help a lot when he was able to deal with several of them.

"It's easy." Cai Ze said with a smile.

"Oh? If Sinong has a good way to help us deal with government affairs, I have two bottles of good wine from there, and I will give them all to you." Lin Xiangru said.

"I have a robe made of pure white mink, without a single stray hair, which was given to me by Lin Hujun and given to you as well." Touching the dragon said with some reluctance.

"Isn't it because there are few people who can't finish government affairs? We just need to increase the number of people." Cai Ze said disapprerovingly.

"Zhao Guo needs manpower up and down now, where can we transfer people?" Lin Xiangru asked.

"Sangkook stayed in the house every day during this time, so he was bored. How many people are in Handan Academy, which is the size of my Zhao Kingdom? Just transfer some of them, and the manpower will not be enough." Cai Ze said.

"No." Lin Xiangru immediately refused, "The top batch of the academy has been sent to Yandi, and although there are many outstanding people left, they still need to learn, and they don't have any experience, so it's difficult for them to be qualified for these jobs."

"There is no experience to accumulate, no one is born with experience, they can learn while doing things, and accumulate experience at the same time. Moreover, Xiang Guo didn't forget that they have teachers. Although they are inexperienced, their teachers do. My most proud student is in trouble, do you think their teacher can't help?" Cai Ze had a female deceitful smile on his face.

He'd been upset with the old guys in the academy for a long time.

The salary is rich, and he has a job in the college, but he doesn't do anything, he wanders around every day when he is full and has nothing to do, and he has to go to the river to fish with a fishing rod in the winter, and he is frozen like a grandson.

Seeing those people enjoying happiness every day, Cai Ze is more uncomfortable than working overtime every day.

They were given the task of taking students before, and now that the students are bringing seven, seven, eight, eight

Cai Ze didn't believe it, those old guys were smiling on the surface every day, secretly competing behind their backs, and they could watch other people's disciples become famous, but their own disciples achieved nothing, and even messed things up.

Even if he really couldn't bear to watch, Cai Ze would throw the pot on their heads.

If your disciple messes up, there's nothing wrong with helping your disciple as a teacher.

If the teacher also messes up, it can only be said that this person is selling his reputation, and Cai Ze just revokes his treatment, and he can also save Zhao Guo's expenses and leave it to those in need.

Yu Xin stood aside, silently mourning for some teachers in the academy, you don't do anything every day, and now that you're being targeted, I can't save you.

"My two bottles of wine are yours, and I'll bring them to you tomorrow." Lin Xiangru said excitedly, Cai Ze is so right, Zhao Guo is not useless, there are still many old guys in the academy.

In the past, everyone could be busy, and you could eat, drink and have fun every day, but now everyone is too busy, you have to shine!

"It's better to hit the day than to hit the day, we won't go back, let's go to the academy now." Zhao Sheng said loudly, and then got everyone's approval.

Originally, it was not unbearable for everyone to work overtime every day, after all, Zhao Guo became stronger and stronger with their efforts, and they also felt very honored.

Their fate has long been tied to Zhao Guo.

Provided that there is no contrast.

Once there is a contrast, there is a harm.

Lao Tzu is tired and forced to drink every day, you don't do anything next to you every day, enjoy happiness, why?

As everyone walked towards the academy, they discussed the sake and teachers of each branch.

The dragon was silent on the side, quietly took out a fly-headed pen and a handkerchief from his arms, put the tip of the pen on his lips and moistened it, and put it on his hand to write something.

"What did you write? Show me." Yu Xin asked curiously.

"I remember all the names you just mentioned

Those who came down, when they arrived at the academy, looked for them one by one, and no one wanted to run." Touching the dragon suddenly smiled, revealing a mouth that was missing a third of the teeth, and the startled Yu Xin retreated again and again, crashing into the car.

"You're so ruthless!"

……

"Your Majesty, all the soldiers have boarded the ship." Qin Kai fell from the sky onto the warship and reported with his fists hugged.

"Nothing went wrong." Zhao Kuo asked as usual.

"The soldiers are in a stable mood and there are no major problems, but a small number of war horses are not suitable to stay on the ship, and there is some chaos, which has been dealt with." Qin Kai shook his head.

"Where is the Qi army? Zhao Qi and the two countries have just been at war, and now they are united again, so don't make any trouble." Zhao Kuo said.

"Great King, the 50,000 troops sent by the Qi State were all at war with the Chu army before, and they don't have much hatred for my Zhao army. As for me, Zhao Jun...... We are the victorious side, and there are almost no casualties, how can we have an opinion on the Qi army." Pang Xuan said with a smile.

This time he went out with an army of 70,000 and returned with an army of more than 69,000.

This is a real record, and whoever leads the troops to fight does not dare to say that the casualties are only so small.

Pang Xuan was also in a very good mood during this time, and he was smiling when he saw everyone.

"King, frontline intelligence." At this time, Liu Ping quickly came over from the rear.

This was sent to Handan by the front line, and Handan sent people to send it quickly after receiving the news.

Zhao Kuo took the information, opened it, raised his head and said to everyone, "Qin Wangji has arrived on the battlefield, but he has not launched a counterattack."

Qin Wangji decided to recruit much earlier than Zhao Kuo, but Qin needed to recruit troops from all over the country, while Zhao only recruited troops in Handan County, and by the time Qin Wangji arrived at the battlefield, Zhao Kuo was already on the way.

"The King of Qin should be waiting for the Great King, and the State of Qin should know the news of the Great King's personal conquest." Feng Qujian said.

"King Qin is very confident, he probably doesn't know the news of the destruction of the Yan State and the alliance between the Qi State and my Zhao State, so he can be so calm." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

It was normal for Qin Guo to get the news of his imperial expedition, and he didn't take it to heart.

The purpose of the imperial expedition is to boost morale, stimulate the determination of the people of the whole country to fight to the death, and enhance the belief that victory will be enhanced.

There is no such thing as concealment.

In mid-November, Zhao Kuo led the army to the front camp.

Le Yi, Tian Dan, Wei Wuji, and Storm Kite all went out of the city to greet them.

"Everyone, please." Zhao Kuo helped up the soldiers, "Let's go into the camp."

"Your Majesty, please." The generals followed behind Zhao Kuo and rushed in.

As soon as everyone was seated, a guard suddenly walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Qin State asks to see you."

When the generals heard this, their originally happy faces suddenly sank, and the camp tent was full of a solemn atmosphere.

"Qin Jun, this is a dismount for our army." Tian Dan said in a deep voice.

As soon as Zhao Kuo arrived in the army, he didn't even have a hot bench, so the Qin army sent an envoy over.

Qin Wangji obviously wanted to tell Zhao Kuo: I know everything you do, and you are a little tender when you fight with me.

"Let him in." Zhao Kuo said to the guards.

Soon, the messenger was brought in, and it was Lü Buwei.

"Foreign Minister Lü Buwei pays a visit to King Zhao." Lu Buwei stepped into the camp, looked around, his face suddenly sank, just in the camp, there were several top strategists he felt, and there were only Fan Ju and him in the Qin army.

Not to mention the famous players.

In other words, from famous generals, to strategists, to top legions, to cavalry, to the number of large armies, the Qin army fell into disadvantage in an all-round way.

"The widow didn't expect to see the Qin envoy here again." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"The minister didn't expect it either." Lu Buwei said.

"King Qin asked you to come to see the widow, why did you come to see the widow?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"This is the letter that the king asked his ministers to pass on to the king of Zhao." Lü Buwei from

He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the guard next to him.

The guard took the letter and checked that there were no problems before placing it on the table in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo did not read the letter, but said to Lü Buwei, "Before reading the letter of the King of Qin, the widow has something to ask the Qin envoy, and he also asks the Qin envoy to answer truthfully. If the Qin envoy can tell the truth, if the Qin envoy is captured in the future, the widow can let the Qin envoy go once."

"King Zhao, excuse me." Lu Buwei leaned over and said.

"A few months ago, there was an extremely egregious massacre in Jixi County, Zhao Kingdom. According to the investigation of our Zhao State and Qi State, the bandits who slaughtered my Zhao State and a township were bought by the Qin State. The purpose is to provoke a war between our Zhao State and the Qi State. I wonder if that's the case?" Zhao Kuo stared at Lu Buwei's eyes tightly and said in a deep voice.

Lu Buwei silently shifted his gaze, although he was not in Xianyang at the time, how could he not know about Fan Ju's plan.

At that time, he also sighed that Fan Ju's plan was wonderful, Zhao and Qi were both big countries, and they would not explain this kind of thing at all, and the two countries would inevitably go to war.

But now, in the face of Zhao Kuo's questioning, Lu Buwei was a little at a loss.

As an official of the Qin State, he could not betray the Qin State.

However, Lü Buwei's character is to judge the situation, and the strength of the coalition army at this time far exceeds that of the Qin State, even if Qin Wangji drives the expedition in person, the possibility of the Qin army winning is not very likely.

In other words, Zhao Kuo's promise to save his life is likely to be used.

As for Zhao Kuo's humiliation of him before, it was nothing in front of Xiao Ming.

"Your Majesty, at that time, the foreign ministers were still in the army, and they didn't know about the affairs of the court." After struggling for a few seconds, Lu Buwei leaned over and said.

"The widow understands." Zhao Kuo nodded. "In the future, if the Qin envoy is arrested, he can propose to see the widow, and the widow will release the Qin envoy."
