Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, you are indeed a talent, but your mistake is that you should not be mixed with guys like Mr. Yuan!On the political stage, it is always life and death. If you really lose to the old man in the future, the old man will definitely not show mercy!Zhao Kuo didn't know these dark things at this time.

For Lian Po's promotion to Wu Xiangjun, Zhao Kuo felt a little weird, but considering that Lian Po was 60 years old after all, he had worked hard for King Zhao's army for more than 40 years, so Zhao Kuo was fine, and even stood up for him. Lian Po felt a little happy.

As a qualified officer, he should ask for credit for his subordinates, and Lian Po's credit was written in the credit book by Zhao Kuo himself.

In the entire credit book, Lian Po's ranking is only below Zhao Kuo!Lian Po stood up, first saluted again, and then looked at Zhao Kuo.

One master, one pair, one young and one old look at each other at this moment, and smile at each other.

Although the two were indeed from different political factions, after the Battle of Changping, the two became comrades-in-arms who had experienced life and death together!The friendship of comrades-in-arms is unimaginable to those who are in a hurry.

Of course, such things as friendship will fade with time and conflicts of interests, but at least at this moment, this friendship is indeed quite sincere.

We carried guns together, killed enemies together, passed the night together, and played ball together.

This feeling can only be experienced by men!

Chapter 20 The Touched Zhao Kuo's Mother

Afterwards, there was a grand celebration banquet.

At the celebration banquet, Zhao Kuo, as a general who had just won a battle, naturally sat in the position closest to King Zhao, and naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

In addition to touting, what attracted the most attention was actually Zhao Kuo's marriage.

In fact, Zhao Kuo had a childhood sweetheart, a fiancée from the Lou family. The two parties originally agreed that Zhao Kuo would get married after the 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but the bride-to-be passed away suddenly when Zhao Kuo was 19 years old.

This was a big blow to Zhao Kuo. It took him three full years to come out and plan to get married again.

Then, Zhao Kuo's father Ma Fujun Zhao She passed away.

Zhao Kuo had kept filial piety for his father for three years, and had just completed the filial piety to prepare for another wedding ceremony, when the Battle of Changping came.

Then, there is the present situation.

Many ministers scrambled to express their desire to get married to Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo just smiled vaguely and did not immediately agree.

As the soul of a modern person, there is always a longing for love in my heart.

Zhao Wang looked at this scene, and felt a little regretful in his heart.

If possible, King Zhao actually wanted to marry a princess to Zhao Kuo, but unfortunately, not marrying with the same surname is the rule of this era, and King Zhao can't break the rule.

Suddenly, Zhao Wang's heart moved slightly.

Speaking of the princess, it seems that there is really a princess in Handan City who is not from the Zhao family, or else suddenly, Lian Po stood up and walked in front of Zhao Kuo.

Everyone was immediately attracted by Lian Po's actions and cast their gazes.

Lin Xiangru glanced at Yu Xin in surprise, with a questioning expression on his face.

Yu Xin shook his head slightly, then smiled.

Is Lian Po going to attack Zhao Kuo on the spot?

If so, it really couldn't be better.

Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhao Kuo, without you this time, my great Zhao would never be able to defeat the Qin army.

Although the old man is two generations older than you, but in the matter of leading the army, the old man is willing to bow down!Come on, I respect you! "

After hearing these words, Yu Xin was taken aback, and a disappointed expression flashed across his face.

Zhao Kuo was also taken aback, then stood up, and said sincerely: "Without the help of old general Lian Po, it would be extremely difficult to win this battle for nothing.

Old general, I respect you with this cup! "

The two raised their cups of wine, raised their heads together and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Wang looked at this scene, clapped his hands and laughed.

Yu Xin looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.

Finally, the banquet came to an end.

As soon as Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace, he was stopped by Lord Pingyuan and asked Zhao Kuo to go with him in the same car.

As soon as the carriage started, Mr. Pingyuan said to Zhao Kuo, "Zhao Kuo, you have been tricked."

Zhao Kuo was a little drunk after drinking, but he was surprised when he heard this sentence: "I was calculated?"

Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun Zhao She, had a good relationship. They were both Zhao Kuo's ally and Zhao Kuo's elder, and they had a close relationship.

This time Zhao Kuo was able to serve as the commander-in-chief was also strongly recommended by Lord Pingyuan, so if Zhao Kuo didn't believe what others said, Lord Pingyuan still had to believe it.

Mr. Pingyuan put it this way in the future, and then said: "We originally wanted you to be directly promoted to be a prince, but I don't know where the rumors spread in Handan City that Lian Po is actually the real hero behind the scenes. You, Zhao Kuo, are nothing more than a puppet that Zhao pushed out to make the people of Qin relax their vigilance."

Zhao Kuo's face gradually became a little ugly.

I tried my best, and I don't know how many brain cells died, to save Zhao Guo from this inevitable defeat, but now the biggest credit is not mine?

Alcohol made Zhao Kuo's anger quickly reach its peak. After realizing this, Zhao Kuo immediately opened the car window to let the cold wind outside the car blow in.

Men should not make any decisions while angry.

A gust of summer night breeze blows in from the car window, Zhao Kuo only feels a burst of coolness, his whole spirit is lifted, and his mind slowly returns to clarity.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said, "Your Majesty, does anyone believe it?"

Mr. Pingyuan sighed, and said: "Ben Hou thought it was nonsense at first, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, but now, alas, it is Ben Hou who made a mistake."

Although Mr. Pingyuan didn't answer directly, Zhao Kuo actually already knew the answer.

There are definitely not many people who believe this rumor.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and asked very seriously: "Do you know who spread the rumors?"

Mr. Pingyuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "It may be done by the scholars sent by Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin, but we don't have any evidence now."

To Mr. Pingyuan's surprise, Zhao Kuo didn't get angry, but calmly asked another question: "Is it possible that spies from Qin did it?"

Lord Pingyuan was taken aback, and after a while he said, "It's not impossible."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and bowed his hands to Lord Pingyuan: "Thank you for your willingness to tell Zhao Kuo the news, and please continue to support me in the future."

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "We are all a family, what are you talking about?

Speaking of which, you should call me Uncle Shi. "

Zhao Kuo immediately changed his words: "Uncle Shi is right, but my nephew was negligent."

No matter from which point of view, it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with Mr. Pingyuan now.

Mr. Pingyuan laughed loudly, patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder, and said: "You have fought hard, take a good rest these days, Uncle Shi will also pay close attention to the investigation, and you will definitely not be wronged."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile.

A moment later, outside Zhao Kuo's house, Zhao Kuo got off the carriage and watched Mr. Pingyuan's carriage leave.

Turning his head, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face had disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Kuo is actually not a character who likes to look for trouble, but now someone is taking credit for Zhao Kuo, who can bear it?

"Let's see mother first."

Zhao Kuo muttered, turned and walked into the open door.

Although it was night, the gates of Ma Fujun's mansion were brightly lit. Hundreds of housekeepers and servants either possessed themselves or knelt down to salute, and said in unison: "Welcome the lord to return to the mansion after victory!"

Originally, Zhao Kuo had no title and could only be called the head of the family. Now that he has been named Shangqing, the name of the lord is worthy of the name.

Xu Li, who came back early, took a urn of clean water. Zhao Kuo reached out and washed his hands in the urn. Then Xu Li dipped a willow branch in the water and sprinkled a little water on Zhao Kuo's forehead, chest and feet.

This ceremony means to wash away all the dust and murder, go out clean, and go home clean.

After the dust cleaning ceremony was over, Zhao Kuo raised his head and saw a lady standing in the lobby, who was his mother Ma Fujun.

"My son!"

Zhao's mother was already in tears, and she didn't care about losing her composure, so she hugged Zhao Kuo as soon as she came up.

The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried. Although Zhao's mother is not optimistic about Zhao Kuo's battle, how can she not miss her son?

"I made a mistake for my mother, I made a mistake for my mother, I made a mistake for my mother." Zhao Kuo felt the incomparable apology in his mother's arms and words, and the original estrangement in his heart quietly dissipated.

Zhao Kuo has been a man for two generations, and now there is only such a close relative.

Is it true that you can't forgive your mother once and must be a loner?

Zhao Kuo sighed, and stretched out his arms to gently put his arms around Zhao's mother: "Mother, I have already sworn in my heart that I will not let you and father be ashamed."

Beside him, countless doormen and servants in Ma Fujun's mansion watched this scene, both excited and moved.

After a while, Zhao Kuo and Zhao's mother took their seats in the lobby.

Listening to Zhao Kuo's statement of the fighting spirit of Zhao Kuo and Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping, Zhao's mother's eyes were full of brilliance, and she looked at Zhao Kuo with more pride.

"Son, what your father said back then, you can only talk about it on paper but not in actual combat, you only believe it as a mother.

Now it seems that your father really underestimated you.

My son, Zhao Kuo, is far more talented than his father! "

As she said that, Zhao's mother felt a little sad again: "It's a pity that your father will never see this scene."

Zhao Kuo answered silently in his heart. In fact, my father was right. If my time travel hadn't merged the two souls into one, the original Zhao Kuo would have died in Changping now.

Zhao's mother quickly put away her mournful expression, and talked about another matter: "Kuo'er, you are also 25 years old now, it's time to think about getting married.

Since the news of the Battle of Changping came back, the people who want to marry our family have crossed the threshold and have been carefully selected for a long time. A total of [-] girls have been drawn, and their information has also been collected. .

Remember to take a look tomorrow, my mother thinks that Lou’s and Guo’s daughters are very good, beautiful and everyone’s lady.” Zhao Kuo suddenly felt dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted: “Well, mother, son I'm really tired from drinking too much today, let's talk about this matter later, later. "

Zhao Kuo almost ran away and came to the study.

There was a knock on the door, and Xu Li, Zhao's family steward, appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "I don't know why the lord is looking for the minister?"

Zhao Kuo knocked on the table and said slowly, "Uncle Xu, someone is spreading rumors against me."

Xu Li's eyes were fixed, and then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "My lord, please tell me who is so bold?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "It's not very clear yet, so we need to investigate.

I have two goals now. You should be able to gain something by sending some confidantes to watch over the mansion of these two people. "

Xu Li subconsciously asked: "Which two people?"

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "Shangqing Yuxin, and Shangdoctor Lou Chang!"

Chapter 21 Yu Xin Lou Chang's Identity

Zhao Guoshangqing, Yu Xinfu.

A banquet with extremely high specifications but with only three participants was being held in the lobby of the mansion.

This banquet was held by Yu Xin to celebrate his ally Lian Po's promotion to Lord Wuxiang, and Lin Xiangru, another Shangqing of the State of Zhao, was also invited.

These three people are also the Big Three sent by Zhao Guoshi today.

The banquet was very sumptuous, and all kinds of delicacies were dizzying, but Lian Po obviously didn't have much interest in tasting them. After eating a few mouthfuls, he put down his knife and fork and dagger, and said sullenly: "I have something to ask you, both of you Don't hide it!"

Yu Xin and Lin Xiangru looked at each other, and the master Yu Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xiang, but it's okay to say."

Lian Po looked at Yu Xin and asked, "What are those strange rumors in the city?"

Yu Xin didn't change his face: "I don't know what kind of rumors Wu Xiangjun is talking about?"

Lian Po slammed the table: "Yu Xin, are you really confused as an old man, saying such nonsense to prevaricate the old man?"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lin Xiangru on the side hurriedly smoothed things over: "Brother Lian, if you have something to say, say it well, say it well."

Among the three giants of the Scholars School, Lian Po is undoubtedly the leader in terms of military merit and reputation, and Yuxin is the most trusted by the King of Zhao. But everyone knows that the real backbone of the Scholars School is Lin Xiangru, because only Lin Xiangru was able to combine these two giants with very different styles.

After some persuasion by Lin Xiangru, the anger on Lian Po's face gradually subsided, and he said coldly, "I just want an explanation!"

Yu Xin sighed, and said: "Yes, the rumor that is unfavorable to Zhao Kuo was indeed spread by me after discussing with Lin Qing.

If this is not the case, it is hard to say whether you are Wu Xiangjun now. "

Lian Po's face tightened, and then he said angrily: "I don't want this bullshit Wu Xiangjun. I know the credit for this old man. This time the battle of Changping was all commanded and planned by Zhao Kuo, even if there is no old man. Both can win!"

Although Lian Po is old, he still speaks very straightforwardly.

Yu Xin nodded and said, "Of course we know about this kind of thing, but what would happen if that happens, have you ever thought about it, Mr. Wu Xiang?"
