"This ......" The envoy of Wei suddenly struggled a little, and he didn't need to think about it to know that Zhao Kuo was trying to buy the hearts of the people, and it hadn't been many years since the Tian family bought Qi, and the people of the world still remembered it vividly.

Zhao itself is much stronger than Wei, and if Zhao gains the hearts of the people of Wei again, the consequences will ...... It's unimaginable.

The envoy of Wei looked at Wei Wuji, hoping that the other party could see it for the sake of the ancestors and the ancestors, and help Wei say a few words, even if the king of Wei is not good, Wei is also his mother country.

But Wei Wuji's eyes were lowered from beginning to end, and he didn't say a word, as if he hadn't seen the Wei envoy's plea for help.

"Please also ask King Zhao to forgive me, the foreign minister can't make the decision on such a big matter, and he can only decide if he reports to the king." The Korean envoy next to him leaned over and said.

"I'm afraid the situation in South Korea is not good now, every day of delay, there will be a lot of deaths in South Korea, if the envoy doesn't care about the dead Koreans, it doesn't matter if there are few people. But...... If this matter gets out, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the messenger." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

The Korean envoy had a stomach in his heart, if he dared to agree without authorization, it would not be a matter of reputation, and it was not certain whether his life could be saved.

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen a widow who can't give out free food. Since the two of you can't make the decision, let's go back and ask the monarch first. By the way, when the two countries have a reply, the widow will send someone to the state of Chu to mediate the war." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and signaled that the two could leave.

The envoys of Wei and the envoys of South Korea were extremely entangled, Zhao Kuo was obviously threatening them with the state of Chu, if it was peacetime, the state of Wei would naturally not be afraid of the state of Chu, but now the state of Wei could not even gather the grain and grass of the army, how could it be the opponent of the state of Chu.

'It's all the hateful Chu State, if it weren't for the Chu State taking the opportunity to attack my Wei State, my Wei State would not face such a choice. "The envoy of the Wei State was extremely resentful in his heart, and there had never been a moment when he had been so resentful of the Chu State.

"The minister retired." The envoys of the two countries still left Zhao, because this matter was indeed not up to them.

A few days later, the envoys of the two countries returned to Handan again, bringing replies from the kings of Wei and Han: they agreed.

Or rather, they had to agree.

There is drought and famine inside, and there is a strong enemy of Chu outside, if Zhao State is annoyed again, the two countries will not lose the hearts of the people, but it will not be long before the country will be destroyed.

At least agree to Zhao's conditions, and the country will not be destroyed for the time being, and there is still a chance to recover the lost people's hearts.

"Zongzheng." Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Sheng.

"The King." Zhao Sheng got up and walked to the center of the main hall.

"You immediately set off and go to the state of Chu to mediate the war." Zhao Kuo commanded.

"Dare to ask the king, if the state of Chu refuses to withdraw its troops, what should the ministers do?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"Just go back to China, and the widow will make his own arrangements when the time comes." Zhao Kuo said.

"No." Zhao Sheng said.

"Lin Qing, immediately mobilize people and horses to raise grain and grass to support the disaster areas of Han and Wei. And send people to contact the Han and Wei governments to prevent unnecessary contradictions." Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru.

Speaking of which, at the same time as Wei and Korea were suffering from drought, the southern part of Zhao was also suffering from drought, if it weren't for the bumper harvest in Hetao and other places, and bought a large amount of grain and grass from the Mauryan Dynasty, even if Zhao Kuo wanted to take over this mess and buy the hearts of the people, he might not have so much grain.

Although Zhao has been cultivating fertile land, developing agricultural tools, building water conservancy, and increasing grain production over the years, Zhao has consumed a lot of grain and grass!

Farms all over the country, more than 100,000 troops, slaves who mine and build roads, and prisoners who serve, etc., the grain eaten every day can be piled up into a mountain, don't look at the large amount of grain and grass produced by Zhao State every year, there is not much left.

"No." Lin Xiangru leaned over and said.

"Wei Wuji, Kong Bin, the two of you follow the widow to rescue the disaster area of Wei State, Lu Zhonglian, Yu Xin, the two of you support the disaster area in South Korea, the widow doesn't care what happened before the disaster area, but the widow asks, where my Zhao State supports the place, there will no longer be a disaster victim starving to death." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"Is the king going too?" Wei Wuji said in surprise.

"Not bad."

Zhao Kuo nodded.

"No." The crowd did not dissuade them.

"Wang, Duping, each of you commands an army of 30,000 and follows us to the disaster area to maintain order and assist in the rescue." Zhao Kuo said.

It is not enough to have material support without corresponding force protection, and if you want to maintain order, you must have the power to maintain order.

The military is the most effective force for maintaining order in troubled times.

In addition, the execution of the army is also not available to ordinary people, and it is far more convenient and efficient to use the army to rescue the disaster area than to reconvene manpower from other places.

"No." Le Yi and Tian Dan clasped their fists and said.

"Great King, I'm afraid that Wei and Korea will not agree to my Zhao State's army entering their country." Wei Wuji said that Zhao Kuo's behavior was almost indistinguishable from going to war directly.

To put it mildly, who knows if you Zhao Kuo really sent the army to the rescue, or in the name of rescue, to fight us?

If Zhao's army suddenly launched an attack after arriving not far from Korea and Wei, the two countries would not be able to react at all.

"Since the King of Wei and the King of Han have agreed to hand over the disaster relief to my Zhao State, then this matter is naturally up to the widow. Besides, if the widow wants to attack Wei and Korea, why bother, as long as a letter is sent to the king of Chu, the Chu state must be very happy to divide the two countries of Han and Wei with the widow." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said loudly.

Until there is no internal stability in the Zhao state, he will not make a move against the Wei state and Korea.

Similarly, if one day he is ready to make a move against Wei and Korea, then it is definitely not something that the two countries can resist.

When Wei Wuji heard this, he stopped persuading.

"By the way, notify the doctors, and send some doctors to follow the widows to support the disaster area." After speaking, Zhao Kuo waved his hand, "Okay, let's go back and prepare."

The next day, Zhao Kuo led a large army to leave the state of Zhao.

This time the army was different from any other time, because in the past, the army was a machine that waged war and did things of destruction, so many people resented the army and thought that it brought war.

Except for Zhao Kuo, there has never been a monarch who has used the army to relieve disasters, let alone help the people of other countries.

Zhao Guo's slanderous reports frantically publicized the matter, and under the impetus of caravans and scholars, it spread rapidly.

This incident showed everyone a completely different side of the army.

The army is not only used for war, but also for disaster relief.

Where there is a need, there are soldiers.

After passing Ye County, we arrived at the Wei State.

I don't know if it's because of Jiuding, the two places are obviously very close, only separated by a swinging water, located in the part of Zhao State, although there is a drought, but at least it is not so serious, God occasionally drops a few drops of rain, so that the crops can have a certain harvest.

And in the part of the Wei State, even the trees have withered, and as far as the eye can see, it is desolate, with only dusty yellow, not a trace of green.

Zhao Kuo traveled all the way, but there was no one on the road

Meet a person.

This place is very close to Zhao State, and even if there are people, they will have already fled to Zhao State, and they will not stay where they are and wait for death.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Kuo finally saw a woman lying on the ground, unconscious, still holding a child in her arms.

Zhao Kuo ordered the guards to help her up and feed her some water, and after a while, the woman woke up and was taken aback when she saw Zhao Kuo and his party, although she didn't know Zhao Kuo, she also knew that it was definitely a big person who could not be touched by her.

"Grass ...... The grass people visited the nobles, and the grass people stood in the way of the nobles, and asked the nobles to atone for their sins." The woman knelt on the ground with her child in her arms and kept kowtowing.

"I'm sorry, it's the widow who came late, if the widow had come earlier, maybe you wouldn't have to endure this suffering." Zhao Kuo turned over and dismounted, walked in front of the woman, and personally helped her up.

The woman's face kept changing, although she didn't know King Wei, she also knew that King Wei was definitely not so young, but except for the monarch, who would call himself a widow?

"This is King Zhao." Wei Wuji stepped forward to explain

Road.

"The grass people meet King Zhao." When the woman heard this, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, as for why King Zhao appeared in the territory of Wei and had a large army behind him, it was not something she could consider.

"What are you...... To flee?" Zhao Kuo looked at the child in the woman's arms.

"The grass people heard that the Zhao Kingdom would help us disaster victims, so they thought about escaping to the Zhao country, who would have thought that they would be separated from their husbands on the way, leaving only the people with a child......" At this, the woman couldn't help but sob.

"You have something to eat with the children, and then tell the widow where there are people nearby, and where the worst affected places are." Zhao Kuo handed the woman the soaked soft pasta.

At this time, it is too late to cook porridge, and it is impossible to cook porridge alone for one person.

The woman didn't care what Zhao Kuo handed over, so she hurriedly took it, first fed it to the child, and only after the child was full did she finish the remaining half bowl of food.

"Your Majesty, there are the most victims outside the city of Dangyin nearby. Dangyin is the largest city nearby, some time ago, the Dangyin County Order occasionally arranged for people to give porridge, and there were also some wealthy households to help the victims, so a large number of victims gathered outside the city, and the grass people were outside the city before. But in the last ten days, the rich families in the city have stopped helping the victims, and the county has ordered less and less soup porridge, and the grass people are weak and can't rob them, so they think of finding another way out and leave the dangyin." The woman said.

"Pass the order, speed up, and get to Dangyin County before it gets dark today." Zhao Kuo ordered, and then said to the women, "You are in danger when you travel alone, so let's go together, Ben, and vacate a carriage for her."

"Thank you, thank you, King." The woman was grateful, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Kuo was already very grateful for being able to save her, and she had to take her with her when she left, after living for so many years, how could she ever see such a monarch?

If the monarch of Wei is so kind to the people, why is it difficult to die for him.

"By the way, what's your name?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The king, the people's daughter is called He." The woman said.

"What's your husband's name, and where is he separated, let's see if I can help you find your family." Zhao Kuo said.

"Thank you, the king, the husband of the folk girl is called Zhuang, and he was separated ten miles north of Dangyin City, when there were more people, and the folk girl was holding the child...... He said.

"The widow knows." Zhao Kuo nodded, "There are more disaster victims, and the few people don't know if they can find it, and I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"Grass People...... I've been mentally prepared for a long time." He said in frustration, she didn't know how many life and death partings she had seen during this time, how could she not be mentally prepared.

Dangyin City is located in the south of Dangshui and got its name, after Dangshui, it is not far from Dangyin, when it was close to dark, Zhao Kuo and his party finally arrived at Dangyin City.

Before Zhao Kuo saw the city gate, he saw the dense crowd of victims outside the city, all hungry with yellow faces and thin muscles, thin bones, only a rag on their bodies, and their hair was unkempt.

When he saw Zhao Kuo and the others, he didn't dodge, but rushed up.

It wasn't until Zhao Jun shook the weapon in his hand and pointed it at them that the victims stopped.

"Xinlingjun, immediately bring someone to arrange a soup kitchen, don't waste time." Zhao Kuo commanded, and then ordered, "All soldiers, all put away their weapons, we are here for disaster relief, not for battle."

Maybe the victims heard Zhao Kuo arranging soup kitchens, or maybe they were intimidated by the army and stopped coming forward.

Zhao Jun unloaded the grain he had brought from the car and quickly set up the cauldron. What could be burned nearby had already been cut down in winter, but fortunately, the Zhao army brought a large amount of coal, and the imperial court was still transporting it later.

"The widow is the king of Zhao, and now all the disaster areas in Wei and South Korea are taken over by my Zhao State, and all the victims are relieved by my Zhao State. Until the famine is completely over. Please also line up and not crowd. Rest assured, everyone has something to eat, and the widow will not give up on anyone." After speaking, Zhao Kuo bowed deeply to everyone, "I'm sorry, the widow is late."

"The king is coming, and we are saved." At this time, there was a sudden sound in the crowd

There was an exclamation.

"The king has come to our rescue, and I know that the king will not give up on us."

"Let's disperse, I don't believe in King Wei, but I believe in King." Immediately after, more voices came from the crowd.

It was not arranged by Zhao Guo, but the veterans who had fought with Zhao Kuo, who took the initiative to cheer, and they were rejoicing at Zhao Kuo's arrival.

As a Wei person, it is not ironic to call the monarch of Wei the king of Wei, but call the monarch of Zhao the king, and cheer for the arrival of the monarch of Zhao.

"The widow prepared a little hastily this time, and there are not enough people, so I need to select some people from among you to help, I wonder if any of you are willing?" Zhao Kuo asked loudly.

As soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, everyone signed up one after another, although they were already hungry and had no strength to speak, they still shouted at the top of their voices, trying to attract Zhao Kuo's attention as much as possible.

At this time, if he is selected by Zhao Jun, it means that he can eat enough, and even his family can eat enough.

"Wang, you and Liu Ping are responsible for selecting people, not too many people, choose some honest ones who have followed the widow to fight first." Zhao Kuo said.

"No." Le Yi and Liu Ping nodded, led some people to the side, and began to recruit people.
