The ancients spared no effort in learning, and the young and strong worked hard to become old.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

I poured the bamboo tube and found that there was no water. Du Wu only had a few hundred five-baht coins on him, which was found from a jar under Lao Li's bed, which should be all of Lao Li's savings. While Du Wu was grateful to Lao Li, he also had a strong suspicion of these five-baht coins, is this really a five-baht coin? Why is it that the edges of almost every coin have been blunted, the round square holes at the good ends have become irregular shapes, and the most serious copper plate has almost cut off half of the "five" of the small seal, leaving a triangle? It wasn't until he took the copper plate and bought a naan as unpalatable as the male coarse cake that he regained his confidence in the five-baht coins.

Carefully put away these copper plates, each copper plate was touched to shine, it should be the reason why Lao Li took it out from time to time to count. Du Wu stood up and prepared to continue east. Rhubarb urinated on the dead tree by the roadside, and when he saw Du Wu get up, he followed up, wagging his tail and opening the way in front.

This is already Chang'an City, Du Wu knows that Chang'an City has a curfew, if he is still on the street after 108 street drums, then what awaits him will be the darkness of the military prison in the north of Chang'an City. The sun was already a little westerly, and Du Wu couldn't help but speed up his pace.

While biting the naan with difficulty, he walked along the side of the road. It was already an inner city, and the streets were fairly clean, except for the occasional horse-drawn carriage galloping by, ignoring the cursing of pedestrians on the side of the road. Du Wu tightened the hemp clothes that didn't fit well, which was turned out in Lao Li's box, probably because he was reluctant to wear it, and he kept it until now.

As he was walking, Rhubarb suddenly whispered a few threatening screams, and Du Wu hurriedly looked up. I saw a little girl of five or six years old, gorgeously dressed, with a small cloak fluttering in the wind, holding a wooden gun in her hand, but quite a general's spirit. At this moment, she was majestically pointing the tip of her gun at Rhubarb, and drank in her mouth: "Who will come, report the name, this will not kill the nameless person under the gun!" ”

Du Wu snorted and laughed, this little girl doesn't know whose family it is, it is estimated that she has heard too much of the story, she is fascinated, and she is crazy. also wanted to tease her, so he stepped forward and made a gesture, and said with a smile: "In Xia Duwu, Shandong people's clan, passing by the treasure land, please let me go east." ”

The little girl tilted her head and looked at him, and said: "You Confucian is quite reasonable, forget it, this general does not bully the weak, besides, looking at you like this, even if you go into battle, you must be a rhetorical person, let's go." ”

Du Wu smiled, this little girl actually knew the idiom of boasting, so she teased her again: "I am indeed a Confucian student, but I may not be able to talk about it, besides, if I can do it, I am definitely not a mediocre talent, yes or no?" ”

"Hey, you, a Confucian student, are different from what your uncle said, you should talk about why you are not a mediocre talent, your uncle said that Zhao Guo was defeated in the hands of Zhao Kuo, who was boastful."

"No, Zhao Guo was not defeated in the hands of Zhao Kuo, but in the hands of King Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Hao."

"You are talking nonsense, Ma Fujun is a big hero, a famous general, he ......"

"Shiso!"

The little girl was about to refute, a plainly dressed young woman came out of a nearby mansion gate, beckoned the little girl to go home, the little girl paused on the ground with a wooden gun, turned her head and ran away, and did not forget to turn around and retort: "He is the fourth general of the Warring States, you deceive!" ”

Du Wu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and beckoned Rhubarb to continue walking, before the Jingjie drum sounded, it was best for him to pass through the East City Gate, otherwise, he would have to stay in the city, God knows how much the inn is now.

After walking less than a stick of incense, a carriage came quickly, Du Wu stood on the side of the road, those who can ride in the carriage this year are all people with prominent wealth, and he is an unknown person, so it is better not to attract attention.

Not wanting the carriage to stop in front of it, a young man jumped out of the carriage, dressed in a white shirt, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a crown of gauze on his head. I saw that he had dressed up, looked around, and walked straight to Du Wu. Du Wu's heart tightened, and he grabbed the barking rhubarb, although he had a hometown document in his hand, but his origin was unclear no matter what.

The young man approached, straightened his clothes, and bowed down: "In Xia Wang Shu, the word Zhongsun, dare to ask Mr. Du?" ”

Du Wu hurriedly replied, pressed his right hand with his left hand, bowed deeply, and he still understood the truth that many people were not to blame: "Down there is Du Wu, I don't know what the noble man is blocking my way, so what's the matter?" At this moment, he already faintly regretted it. Knowing this, I shouldn't have been curious in the first place, I had to go into Chang'an City to take a look, but now the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, how to advance and retreat?

When Wang Shu heard this, he arched his hand again, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't panic, I heard my niece just now that Mr. thinks that Zhao Guo was defeated in the hands of Ma Fujun, and he is stupid and can't understand, so I implore Mr. to sit in the cold house, and he will personally serve tea, and ask Mr. to answer questions." ”

"Ah, this, I still have to hurry, I just coaxed the child to talk nonsense, don't take it seriously." Du Wu didn't expect this to be the reason, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey, why is the gentleman hiding his secrets? If you want to talk to Mr. about military affairs, please don't shirk your husband, please invite Mr. into the house today, and rest overnight, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow. ”

Du Wu was helpless, he was even more afraid that if he forcibly refused, God knows what the boy on the other side would do. It's just a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided. At that moment, he arched his hand, got into the carriage with Wang Shu, and the rhubarb rope was tied to the back of the carriage, and slowly and leisurely rushed towards the way he came.

After getting out of the carriage, Du Wu looked up and saw that there were two big characters written on the plaque: "Wangfu", at this moment the sky was just dark, and the people in the house began to light the lamp. Wang Shu led Du Wu into the mansion through the side door, straight through two corridors and a patio, turned around, and came to the backyard, where the housekeeper who had already received the news was waiting at the door with two maids holding a tray in his hand, and there were two bronzes in the tray, and the butler was holding a jar in his hand.

Entering the study, waiting for the housekeeper and the maid to go out, Wang Shu got up and poured a wine for Du Wu, got up and saluted: "Distinguished guests, Mr. respect, let's wait for a while, the house is preparing a dinner party for Mr., and please give advice to Mr., why did Ma Fujun become the driving force behind the decline of Zhao State?" ”

Du Wu hurriedly stood up and drank it all, the taste of the wine was a little strange, and it also had a little sourness, I don't know what it was made of, the taste was too far from the wine he had drunk before, and it couldn't even compare to the second pot head.

Wang got seven tricks exquisitely, and at a glance he could see that this wine could not enter Du Wu's eyes at all, and smiled slightly: "Looking at Mr.'s look, I think he must be a wine connoisseur. ”

Du Wu smiled wryly, he didn't expect to be seen by others, which was a bit impolite. The heart said that he had to show his real skills, otherwise the gate of this deep mansion would be easy to enter and out.

"It's ugly." Du Wu made a gesture, stood up, paced two steps, and sorted out his thoughts.

Everyone in the world knows that rhetoric is to ridicule Zhao Kuo for not having real talent and learning, but in fact, it is not. First, soldiers, major events, related to the lifeblood of the country, when King Zhao Xiaocheng coveted the seventeen cities of Shangdang County, the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao had already begun. According to the comparison of Qin and Zhao's national strength, Zhao's defeat was inevitable, and Zhao Kuo just happened to meet him. In other words, the building will fall, and it will be difficult to support it alone, not to mention that Zhao Kuo is not a single tree. ”

"Second, Lian Po has been invincible for a long time, and it is the people of Zhao State who have been dragged down. King Zhao Xiaocheng also knew that Lian Po was not wrong, but he couldn't afford to wait, and Zhao couldn't afford to wait, Zhao Guo's national strength was far inferior to Qin's. If the nobleman sits on the seat of King Zhao Xiaocheng, does he like Lian Po or Zhao Kuo more? ”

"Third, Zhao Kuo has a plan, before Zhao Kuo took office, he once said that if he faces Wang Qian, he will definitely lose, and if he faces Wang Ji, he is sure to defeat him. Facts have proved that Zhao Kuo is not wrong, he has always used the same means to deal with Wang Ji to deal with the veteran Wang Qian, how can he be undefeated? This alone does not prove that Zhao Kuo is exaggerated, but proves that he is self-aware. ”

"Fourth, Zhao Kuo's change of generals is actually a wise move. Although the army order prohibited, the vast majority of the generals were their own uncles and uncles, and they could not command at all, and after the change of generals, Zhao Jun insisted on more than 40 days without mutiny, which can also be seen. Zhao Kuo was able to talk endlessly in the face of his father Zhao Hao, at least it shows that he is not ignorant. You must know that famous generals have grown up in battles, Zhao Kuo can definitely become a famous general, his theoretical foundation is very strong, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and he met the old fox as soon as he appeared.

In short, the boastful talk of this hat can't be buckled on Zhao Kuo's head, he is just an unlucky guy. ”
