Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The two glared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

Zhou Shaofen on the side couldn't help laughing, these two were obviously Zhao Kuo's political opponents, why did Zhao Kuo have internal strife today because of Zhao Kuo?

Seeing this situation, Lin Xiangru had no choice but to stand up and smooth things over: "Okay, okay, stop arguing, whether Wu Xinjun can capture Taoyi, in fact." The steward staggered into the lobby, knowing that something happened and stopped talking.

Sure enough, the steward said to Han Xuwei: "My lord, just got the news that Lord Wu Xin attacked Taoyi at night, and captured Taoyi on the last night before the armistice agreement!"

There was instant silence in the lobby.

With a bang, it was Han Xuwei who landed the bronze wine baron in his hand.

The fine wine spilled all over Han Xu's body, which also brought the Grand Master Zhao back to his senses, and roared: "How is this possible?

Must be fake news! "

Han Xuwei couldn't believe this fact.

The steward trembled, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, I guarantee it with my life, it is definitely true news!"

The steward is Han Xuwei's confidant, so of course he knew that the good news for Zhao was bad news for Han Xuwei.

If this kind of bad information is not confirmed again and again, the manager would not dare to report it.

Han Xu was stunned, completely speechless.

On the other side, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen were equally shocked.

We all know that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is very strong, but these two never imagined that Zhao Kuo is so strong!You must know that in this era, if you attack a city with more than 5 people, it is normal to attack it in half a year, it is fast if you attack it in three months, and it is super fast if you attack it in one month.

But now Zhao Kuo only took ten days. What kind of speed is this?

This is completely a miracle!Suddenly, Lian Po said indifferently: "Master, didn't you just say that when Lord Wu Xin conquered Taoyi, you ate the Bronze Wine Lord?

Now, eat one and show the old man. "

Han Xuwei was speechless.

This grand master of Zhao Guo suddenly felt that he had been severely teased by Zhao Kuo at this moment!In the palace of King Zhao, the Queen Mother is teaching King Zhao.

Zhao Wang grew up day by day, and the queen mother also wanted to teach Zhao Wang some experience and experience on how to be an emperor.

The queen mother said: "A minister like Wu Xinjun has made too much contribution, so he needs to be suppressed."

Zhao Wang was a little puzzled: "Mother, shouldn't you be rewarded heavily for your meritorious service?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Of course other people's contributions can be rewarded heavily, but Lord Wu Xin is different.

Wu Xinjun's contribution is too great, so every time he is rewarded, he must be suppressed. If we don't do this, sooner or later we will have nothing to reward him. "

If there is no reward, then that is the real master of high meritorious service, even the master of high meritorious deeds!Little Zhao Wang seemed to understand, and suddenly asked: "How does the queen mother plan to reward and suppress Wu Xinjun this time?"

The queen mother smiled lightly and said: "The reward is very simple, so there is no need to talk about it.

As for suppressing Wu Xinjun, didn't he fail to take Taoyi this time?

The old woman only needs to let a few ministers use this as a memorial to impeach Wu Xinjun, saying that he is not effective in fighting. Isn't there a reason to suppress him? "

Little King Zhao frowned, and after a while he said: "But, didn't Queen Mother wrong Wu Xinjun?"

The Empress Dowager's complexion darkened, and she said coldly: "So what if he was wronged, he is just a courtier!"

At this time, Eunuch Ling suddenly appeared, with a hurried tone, I don't know if it was joy or something else: "Queen Mother, Wu Xinjun just ordered someone to send back a good news, saying that he has captured Taoyi on the last day of the armistice agreement!"

Upon hearing this, Little Zhao Wang immediately cheered: "Great, Da Zhao has more land from now on!"

After all, a child's mind is still pure.

After the cheers, Little King Zhao looked at the queen mother who opened her mouth wide open for a long time with some doubts: "Mother queen, are you not feeling well?"

The queen mother collected herself, and forced a smile: "The queen mother is fine."

Little Zhao Wang let out a cry, and suddenly said: "But mother, now that Wu Xinjun has taken Tao Yi, is there no way for us to suppress him?"

Empress Dowager: "" The Empress Dowager suddenly discovered that sometimes it is not a good thing for a son to be too smart.

Chapter 274

Tao Yi.

Xu Li came to Zhao Kuo excitedly: "Your Majesty, do you know what we found in the treasury?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "Money, jewels, food and weapons."

Xu Li: "No, I didn't mean that, Junhou, do you know how much money we found?

A total of more than 400 million!This is just money. In addition to the lack of food, the number of ordnance supplies is also amazing, and the statistics have not been completed yet! "

More than 400 million, this is definitely an extremely huge number.

Even Zhao Kuo's expression changed after hearing this number, and he was a little surprised and said: "It is said that Tao Yi is rich, but it is unexpected that he is so rich."

Judging from Xu Li's description, it is obvious that other military supplies other than money are also astronomical figures.

This is actually understandable. We must know that Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin State, actually managed Taoyi as his own independent kingdom, so he also ordered people to cast a large number of ordnance in this city. Tian made the fiefdom into a real independent country.

It's a pity that Wei Ran was killed by King Qin Zhao later, and Tao Yi's dream of self-reliance came to an end. Many of the stored weapons were first consumed by the people of Wei, and now they fell into the hands of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo is relatively calm about this. After all, Zhao Kuo’s business has been booming for a long time, and he earns hundreds of millions of dollars every month. Zhao Kuo.

Li Mu came in and said respectfully to Zhao Kuo, "Master, Lord Xinling is asking to see you outside the city."

"ask to see?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Judging from this word, Lord Xinling undoubtedly used a rather humble attitude to face Zhao Kuo. Considering Lord Xinling's dissatisfaction with Zhao Kuo many times before, this is undoubtedly a rather surprising change.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and said, "Let him come to the city to see Benhou."

Zhao Kuo didn't want to go out of the city to meet Lord Xinling. On the one hand, he wanted to make Lord Xinling realize the reality, and on the other hand, he wanted to beware of Lord Xinling's tricks.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Kuo met Lord Xinling.

Lord Xinling's face looked very pale, his whole body was rather haggard, and his voice was even hoarse, he bowed his hands to Zhao Kuo and said, "Mr. Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo also bowed his hand and returned the salute: "Please sit down, Mr. Xinling. I don't know what is the important matter of Mr. Xinling. Could it be that he wants to take Taoyi back from this Marquis?"

Lord Xinling's complexion changed, and he showed a rather reluctant smile: "Mr. Wu Xin was joking, even if this Marquis really wants to take back Tao Yi, how could he be the opponent of Lord Wu Xin?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "It would be great if Mr. Xinling had such self-knowledge. Otherwise, even if this Marquis wins you, maybe he will be charged with starting a war without authorization?"

Although Zhao Kuo was in Taoyi during this time, the existence of the nightingales was quite clear to the intelligence and rumors in Handan, especially the fear of the Queen Mother, Zhao Kuo was always on his mind, and he was ready to deal with it at any time of.

Lord Xinling shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu Xin misunderstood. I didn't come here this time to discuss military matters, but I heard that Lord Wu Xin has a ginseng channel from Zhao State?"

Lord Xinling's words really shocked Zhao Kuo.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said, "Does Lord Xinling want to cooperate with Benhou in this regard?"

Lord Xinling nodded and said, "Exactly.

My great Wei is also a big commercial country in the Central Plains. If Wu Xinjun can let me become the general agent of ginseng in Wei, I believe that the income will satisfy Wu Xinjun. "

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Xinling with some puzzlement, and felt that the guy in front of him seemed to be a different person.

How is this going?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment, looked at Lord Xinling and said slowly: "Mr. Xinling, of course we can cooperate in the ginseng business, but I need a reason."

Today's Lord Xinling is too weird compared to usual, which makes Zhao Kuo a little uncertain.

Lord Xinling smiled wryly, and said: "Mr. Wu Xin misunderstood, in fact, this Marquis really has nothing to do with it, he just wants to make friends with Lord Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment: "You want to make friends with me?"

Lord Xinling nodded, and said very sincerely: "To tell you the truth, Lord Wu Xin said, when this Marquis learned that Tao Yi had been conquered, he was actually so angry that he vomited blood."

Zhao Kuo: "To be honest, Zhao Kuo really doesn't understand the situation of being so angry that he vomits blood. Anyway, Zhao Kuo himself will never do this.

Moreover, why do you want to take the initiative to befriend me when you are vomiting blood because of my anger?

Lord Xinling continued: "After waking up, Ben Hou thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized that his past actions were too stupid.

The strength of Zhao Guo and Wu Xinjun is well known to everyone, but it is ridiculous that Benhou and Dawei have always been proud and complacent, trying to be a chariot with their arms. Alas, what Benhou said, Wu Xinjun, do you understand? "

Zhao Kuo finally understood.

Lord Xinling must have been really scared of being beaten.

Therefore, Lord Xinling chose to take the initiative to make friends with Zhao Kuo, hoping to influence the decision-making of Zhao State so that Zhao State would not continue to attack Wei State.

Don't look at the temporary cessation of the war between Zhao Guo and Wei Guo, but there will be next year, the year after, the year after, and so on, right?

After understanding this point, Zhao Kuo's expression immediately relaxed a lot, and he began to smile: "Mr. Xinling is indeed a person who understands current affairs. The state of Wei has Lord Xinling here. King Wei is really blessed."

Zhao Kuo's praise is also from the heart, and there is no irony.

As the saying goes, a man can bend and stretch, and this is what Mr. Xinling is doing now.

If you can't beat it, just bow your head temporarily, quietly accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Lord Xinling looked at Zhao Kuo expectantly, "I wonder what Lord Wu Xin thinks?"

Mr. Xinling is not stupid. From the experience of Qi and Chu, we can see that Zhao Kuo still takes good care of countries with ginseng business. Even the decision to go to Qi was opposed by Zhao Kuo.

So the opening of the ginseng channel in Wei State is to some extent equivalent to buying a life from Zhao Kuo with money.

Although the ginseng business will allow Zhao Kuo to earn a lot of money from Wei, but as long as it can buy the security of Wei, everything is worth it.

Zhao Kuo nodded: "No problem, Lord Xinling will be the general agent of ginseng Wei from now on, and all the details of the division will be in accordance with the previous practices of Qi and Chu!"

Zhao Kuo is not worried about Mr. Xinling's tactic of procrastinating in the name of making good friends.

After a few years, when your country of Wei regains its strength, the Marquis has no idea how powerful it has become with the country of Zhao.

Time is always on the side of the traverser, the longer the time passes, the stronger the traverser will be!With this kind of mood, Zhao Kuo extended his hand to Mr. Xinling very happily: "Happy cooperation!"

Lord Xinling held Zhao Kuo's hand: "Thank you Lord Wu Xin for your kindness, I will remember it in my heart!"

Chapter 275 General Zhao Guo - Zhao Kuo!

After reaching a ginseng agreement with Lord Xinling, Zhao Kuo's campaign this time can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

Xu Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful about this: "Master, you said that the land of Wei State is so rich, it would be great if it could all belong to our Great Zhao."

Although the territory of Zhao State is much larger than that of Wei State, a large part of Zhao State's territory is the Taihang Mountains, and then there are grasslands in the northern counties. In fact, only the southeastern plains and grasslands of Zhao State near Handan are suitable for farming. The Hedong County Basin is relatively small.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's okay, next time we come here, this place will be ours."

Li Mu said on the other side: "My lord, the Central Plains is densely covered with water networks, and it is a bit troublesome for the cavalry to advance."

Due to the lack of development, most of the ecology in the Central Plains is relatively primitive today, much like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River in later generations.

Due to over-development and the repeated diversion of the Yellow River in later generations, many rivers that existed in this era have completely disappeared in history. Therefore, in the era after the Song Dynasty, it became much easier for the northern cavalry to pass through the Central Plains and go south.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu and said meaningfully: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the water net is indeed a trouble for the cavalry, as the leading general, you will definitely not only have cavalry under your command in the future.

Think about it carefully, maybe in the future when you lead an army to conquer Wei, you will be able to get some inspiration. "

Zhao Kuo didn't give an answer directly, but just gave an idea, because he knew that some truths still need to be figured out by himself to be able to remember and remember deeply.

A few days later, Zhao Kuo returned to Handan with his army.

This time, thousands of people in Handan were at the gate of the city to welcome the return of Zhao Kuo's army in victory.

Seeing the Zhao army leader passing by slowly holding a brightly colored flag, many Zhao people also had mixed feelings, and their moods were quite complicated.

"When General Lian Po was defeated in Gaotang, I felt that the sky was about to fall! I didn't expect that after Wu Xinjun came out, he could still recover from the decline. After all, Da Zhao didn't suffer another defeat."

"Yes, yes, Lord Wu Xin is still strong.

To tell you the truth, I was planning to move my family to Shangdang for refuge. "

"Hey, old man, let me tell you the truth. The whole family of this old man is about to go to Hedong County. They just turned back after hearing the news of Lord Wu Xin's big victory. They just arrived in Handan yesterday."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

This time Zhao Guo lost first and then won, which seems to be quite easy in hindsight, but only the people of Zhao Guo at that time knew what kind of entanglement and torture they had experienced in their hearts.

There have been such troughs, but when the waves of victory hit, everyone's inner enthusiasm was completely detonated.

"Wu Xinjun Wansheng, Great Zhao Wansheng!"
