Zhao Liang heard that Zhao Kuo was in Changping, accompanied Zhao Ning to have a meal in a hurry, and rushed to the front line in Changping, Zhao Ning wanted to say a few more words to Zhao Liang and let him stay for a while before leaving, but the military situation was like fire, how could he delay, how could his own children's private affairs be compared with military affairs, Zhao Ning chatted with Zhao Liang a few more words, and had to say goodbye to him with tears.

Changping is less than two hundred miles away from Handan, Zhao Liang only took half an hour to fly to the vicinity of the Zhao army camp, he can't fly directly to the camp, this is too appalling, and the impact on Zhao Kuo is not good, Zhao Liang decided to follow the rules, he looked for someone outside the barracks.

Zhao Kuo heard that Zhao Liang was coming, overjoyed, and personally greeted him from the big tent of the Chinese army, he is now a general, there is still the necessary pomp, followed by sixteen personal soldiers, all of them are full of spirit and young soldiers, Zhao Kuo is full of armor, majestic, full of spirit, as a general, it is difficult to think about it or not.

"Brother-in-law, you're finally here. ”

"Uncle, I heard that you became a general, and I, who is my brother-in-law, came to congratulate you, but I came in a hurry, empty-handed, don't blame, don't blame. ”

"You can come is the greatest support for me, and I am relieved to have you here. ”

Zhao Kuo took Zhao Liang's hand, chatted while talking, and entered his Chinese army tent.

After Liang sat down, he told Zhao Kuo that it was not easy for him to be a general.

The Zhao army is now struggling to support, ordinary soldiers can only eat two meals a day, or the kind of porridge with little soup and water, they can't eat enough at all, and many soldiers secretly become deserters in the middle of the night.

Zhao Kuo asked more than a dozen deserters to be captured and cut off their heads, and strengthened night patrols, which slowly stopped the tide of deserters, but the soldiers were forced to run away and were not willing at all.

This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the morale of the Zhao army is extremely low, Zhao Kuo is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, he has no way without military food and military salary, and when he asks the quartermaster, he knows that the surplus in the army is only enough to support more than ten days, and the military salary has been gone for two months.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly asked why, the quartermaster told him that it was Zhao Han who was responsible for the logistics supply of the Zhao army, and he was the son of Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, and he deducted military rations and salaries, which was a well-known thing.

The front-line soldiers ate chaff and died, bleeding and sacrificed, but these moths drank the blood of the soldiers in the rear, Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to slaughter Zhao Han with his own hands, but he knew that he couldn't do this, if he killed Zhao Han, Zhao Bao would definitely not be able to let him go, the logistics could not be guaranteed, and even his position as a general could not be kept, Zhao Kuo's qualifications were too shallow, although the surface was beautiful, but compared with Zhao Bao, it was still far behind.

Zhao Kuo sat on pins and needles every day, and he had to pretend to be calm on the surface, he took a letter overnight, stating the difficulties in detail, and begging King Zhao to allocate food and wages, otherwise, Changping would be in danger and Zhao Guo would be in danger.

Zhao Kuo used 800 miles to rush to Handan, as for whether King Zhao could allocate food and salary, he was not sure at all, although Zhao Kuo was familiar with military books, but he was not good at this kind of political struggle of intrigue and intrigue.

Zhao Liang's arrival made Zhao Kuo overjoyed, this brother-in-law is known for his quick wit, quite means, and is very good at intrigue and trickery, oh, very good at clever calculations, with him, half of his heart is put down.

The top priority is to solve the matter of military rations and salaries, Zhao Liang is definitely a rich country now, as long as he is willing, it is definitely easy to pull up an army and establish a country, however, he is not interested in being the king at all.

After listening to Zhao Kuo's story, Zhao Liang immediately said that he would first take out two million taels of silver to fund Zhao Kuo, one million to buy military rations, and one million to use military salaries to help him solve his urgent needs.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, took Zhao Liang's hand, and praised again and again, you are really a good son-in-law of the Zhao family, you are really my good brother-in-law, that kind of affection, I can't wait to kiss Zhao Liang twice on the face.

Zhao Liang discussed the situation in Changping with Zhao Kuo again, this battle is very important, directly related to the belonging of the world, and even the survival of Zhao, Qin has always had the world in mind, Zhao is the biggest stumbling block to Qin's unification of the world, if Changping fights, Zhao is defeated, and the six countries will no longer be able to stop Qin's eastward advance.

The ministers of Zhao were all playful, thinking that by making peace with Qin, they could keep the peace of Zhao, but they didn't know that peace could only be exchanged for blood and tears.

Zhao Liang discussed with Zhao Kuo again, Zhao Guo's treasury is not rich, but Zhao businessmen are very rich, and now Zhao Guo is in danger, they can enjoy peace without a penny, and continue to make a lot of money, which is also too unfair, and these businessmen must be allowed to make some blood, Zhao Liangjian yì engaged in a business fundraising activity in Handan, so that they can pay for food.

In terms of the strength of Handan's business community, Lu Buwei and Zhao Liang are of course leaders, but Zhao Liang is a muffled fortune, and the reputation of the Ping An ticket number is well-known, but no one knows who the owner of the Ping An ticket number is, so if you want to raise funds in the Handan business community, you have to find Lu Buwei.

After Zhao Liang finished discussing with Zhao Kuo, he quickly returned to Handan Zhao Mansion, Zhao Ning was naturally overjoyed when he saw Zhao Liang coming back so soon, but Zhao Liang reported safety to Zhao's mother and Zhao Ning, saying that Zhao Kuo was also very difficult in the army, and now he needed his strong support.

Zhao Ning saw Zhao Liang coming and going in a hurry, and he didn't pretend to be angry with her, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Zhao's mother, and his mouth was so high that he could hang an oil bottle.

Zhao Liang arrived at the Ping'an ticket number in the south of the city, and asked Hu Bugui to arrange his subordinates to go to various countries to buy grain, Hu Bugui Jian said, this season wheat has not yet been harvested, and there is another month of grain to come down, the price of grain is very expensive, moreover, grain is now a strategic material, large-scale purchase of grain, it will definitely be seen by various countries, people will definitely not sell it to you, the war is to fight soldiers, horses, grain and grass, even if you have a large amount of money, you can't buy a large number of military food, sending people to Tianzhu to buy grain is the best choice, Tianzhu has no war, Ashoka recuperates, the Peacock Dynasty is in good weather, the country is peaceful and peaceful, to Tianzhu to buy some rice should not be a problem, there is very cheap rice, although the taste is not very good, it is much better than no military rations, and it is serious to let the soldiers have enough to eat.

Zhao Liang felt very reasonable, and asked Hu Bugui to send someone to Tianzhu to purchase 500,000 stone rice, the sooner the better, and in addition, prepare one million taels of silver for him, he had an urgent need.

In less than a quarter of an hour, one million taels of silver were ready, and the silver was packed in ten large boxes, and the military rations were also sent to Tianzhu to buy them, and it was estimated that they would return the day after tomorrow.

After Zhao Liang arranged things, he went straight to Lu Mansion in the east of the city, Zhao Ji hadn't seen Zhao Liang for two years, and when he saw his only nephew visiting today, he was so happy that he couldn't help but take Zhao Liang's hand and ask about it, and he was very excited.

Lü Buwei was also very enthusiastic about Zhao Liang's arrival, and arranged for his subordinates to prepare a feast to treat Zhao Liang well.

Zhao Liang explained his intention to Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei repeatedly promised that he could engage in a fundraiser, and asked Zhao Liang about the shape of the Changping front, Zhao Liang answered according to the truth, and Lü Buwei was silent for a moment and didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Liang drank a lot of wine with Lu Buwei, and it was not until it was dark that he staggered back to Zhao Mansion in the north of the city.

returned to Zhao's mansion, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a shadow pounce up, Zhao Liang directly warmed the nephrite in his arms, and before he could react, a fragrant lip kissed him.

Zhao Liang didn't have to think about it, he knew that this person was Zhao Ning, he pushed Zhao Ning away, and shouted, "Ning'er, it's a big night, you don't sleep, what are you doing in my room." ”

Zhao Ning saw Zhao Liang looking like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, I like you, don't you reject me, do you know how much I miss you, I haven't heard from you for more than a year, I want to die, I know that you are my brother-in-law, I shouldn't think anything wrong about you, but feelings are not something you don't want to want, I can't help liking you, you can marry my sister, why can't you marry me, I am also sincere to you." ”

In the face of Zhao Ning's true confession, Zhao Liang couldn't agree at all, if he rashly agreed, it would only cause great harm to Zhao Qian, he had to refuse Zhao Ning's true feelings, he said very calmly, "Ning'er, I am your brother-in-law, I can't be sorry for your sister, I'm afraid I can only live up to your sincerity, you will definitely be able to find a better and better man than me." ”

When Zhao Ning heard this, he said with a miserable face, "Where is there a better man than you, you can help me find one to come out and take a look." ”

When Zhao Liang heard this, he couldn't help but speak, there are really not many young people in the world who are better than him, at least, he hasn't met one yet, he can only say to Zhao Ning, "Even if you can't find it now, you can find it in the future, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and there are many two-legged people." ”

"Well, if I can't find it, I won't get married in my life. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ning ran away without looking back, Zhao Liang looked at Zhao Ning's back, with a stunned expression, and wanted to persuade Zhao Ning a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to put down his raised hand and give up.

The next day, Lü Buwei invited the bosses in Handan City to come over to talk about it, and after receiving Lü Buwei's invitation letter, these bosses were very appreciative, and they came one by one as promised, and it seemed that Lü Buwei's reputation in Handan City was still quite high.

After some lobbying and persuasion by Lü Buwei, everyone donated money one after another, Lü Buwei personally donated 200,000 taels of silver, and these businessmen also donated 581,000 yuan, and the last count showed that a total of nearly 2 million taels of silver were donated.
