However, in just over two hours, the 3,000-strong army had already returned with a full load.

At the head of the line was a colorful tiger, which had just been skinned! And behind the tiger skin, as the vanguard marched, it was not the supreme commander who went out of the city, the captain, but a group of unofficial and unemployed mountain hunters.

In the words of the lieutenant: they deserve such respect!

Of course, they deserve respect, not only because they hunted a tiger for the general, but more importantly, they are at the forefront of the team, which is the best popular propaganda - this is what the general cares about the most.

Obviously, after the Battle of Changping, almost all the middle and high-level generals of the Zhao army have understood the importance that the general attaches to the so-called popular will. Regardless of whether they understand or not, all the generals will subconsciously pay attention to the convergence of the people's hearts.

This is true for distributing food to the Orion to make up for the loss, as is it for the meritorious Orion to be at the forefront of the procession and to enjoy the envy and praise of all.

However, to the captain's shock, he thought that it was enough honor for him to let the Orions walk at the head of the group, but compared to the general's actions, what he did was a little trivial.

That's right, after Zhao Kuo heard that the army went out of the city to hunt a tiger with the help of Orion, he immediately became interested, and took Lü Buwei, Sun Gu, Zhou Qi and other generals to the outside of the city.

It's a rhythm to be welcomed!

Sun Gu and Zhou Qi on the side were not surprised by this, after all, the general's attention to the people is obvious to all, from the release of grain in Guangwolf City to the present, the general has worked hard for the livelihood and dignity of the people many times. Both of them saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

It's just that Lü Buwei on the side still doesn't know the intention of the general's actions, obviously, Lü Buwei, as a businessman, still doesn't understand the meaning of "people".

In Lü Buwei's opinion, going out of the city to greet a group of hunters in this way really detracted from the general's majesty. Of course, Lü Buwei knew very well that it was difficult to change what the general decided, and this matter was not a big deal, and he did not stop it.

It's just that I was puzzled, and I couldn't help frowning.

Judging from Lu Buwei's puzzled expression, Zhao Kuo obviously understood something.

But trying to explain the meaning of "people" to a businessman is obviously unrealistic, especially in this day and age. Even Sun Gu, Zhou Qi and others were in one battle after another, and they slowly realized the difference between having the support of the people and not having the support of the people.

Of course, it is not okay not to say anything, and this is how contradictions often accumulate into disagreements.

"The military advisor seems to be a little confused?" Zhao Kuo asked Lu Buwei as he walked.

"Don't dare to hide the general, this is a trivial matter, the subordinates think that the reward of 100 gold is enough, but there is no need to be so fanfare." Lü Buwei immediately replied.

"If it's usual, it must be the meaning of respecting the military division." Zhao Kuo did not refute it directly, but agreed with Lü Buwei's suggestion, which made Lü Buwei think: Usually like this, is there any difference now?

After a pause, Zhao Kuo continued: "After this battle, not only did I lose more than half of my five hundred personal soldiers, but even the guards in the city urgently needed to be replenished. ”

"Conscription?" Lu Buwei was slightly stunned: "Even if you recruit soldiers, you can be ordered to be long, and you don't need to be so mobilized." ”

"Yes, yes." Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "If it is only to recruit soldiers in the city, it is naturally not needed, even if it is only conscripted in Daidi." But what I want is to recruit troops from the whole Zhao State, even. ”

Zhao Kuo paused again, and then said slowly and quietly: "Qing, you should know my ambition." ”

When the words fell, Lu Buwei's mind instantly spun at high speed, and said, "The general's intention." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, but did not say that sentence.

And that sentence has actually sounded in Lu Buwei's heart: Recruit heroes from all over the world!

Where is this conscription, it is clearly the way to Nashi! That's right, a general who can be a marksman attaches so much importance to it, so what if he can stabilize the country?

Once the general's reputation for loving, respecting, and meritocracy spreads, won't the talent roll in?

Just for the sake of this reputation, let alone welcoming the outside of the city, even if it is a banquet at the same table, why not!

And what is the general lacking now? The most lacking thing is talent! As a military advisor, he should have been above 10,000 people under one person, but he inevitably had to follow the general to the north and south, and he had to not even give up the matter of business.

Not to mention the general, even I wanted to find someone to help.

It's just that when he thought of the actual situation, Lu Buwei's eager heart couldn't help but slowly cool down, and then asked Zhao Kuo: "General, now that we are trapped in the land of Dai, it is not yet possible to return to Handan. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo shook his head, looked at the sky to the south again, and said slowly, "It's not early." We don't want to exacerbate the contradictions, but in fact, the contradictions have long been irreconcilable, and what the south wants is to kill us! Not to mention ......"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

When he conveyed the order to Zhou Qi, Lü Buwei had already learned about King Zhao's pursuit of the Yan army and did not go north to rescue, and there was no doubt that King Zhao's move was murderous. It's no wonder that the general is so urgent, if he doesn't take action, I'm afraid he will really become a fish under someone else's sword.

Listening to the general's words, Lu Buwei also sighed deeply, although he knew that he would eventually come to this point, but until now, he still hadn't found a way to solve this problem without being criticized.

I thought that there would be a long time to prepare, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be two or three years in the short term, and three or five years in the longest, and it will inevitably be decided by the winner.

How to lay out in such a short period of time? Do you really want to meet each other?

Although he absolutely believes in the general's ability, once the soldiers meet, not to mention the consumption of this civil war on the Zhao State, it will have a great impact on the general's domestic and foreign image alone.

What's more, the Qin army, which is eyeing the tiger, will not let go of this opportunity for Zhao's civil war, and even the Yan State and the Wei State......

For a while, Lü Buwei's heart sank to the bottom again.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lu Buwei, who was frowning, but laughed: "Don't worry, the military advisor, everything is in plan, it's not a big deal...... Didn't the military advisor see it? The south side is already changing! ”

"Huh?" Lü Buwei looked up at the south in surprise.

But I saw a remnant sun like blood, still shining obliquely on the earth......

Some people died, but not completely......
