Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

A thunderous drum sounded from the Qin army's position.

Lord Xinling and Lian Po also heard the sound of the drum, and Lord Xinling immediately smiled and said, "General, Bai Qi is about to die and fight back."

Lian Po let out a breath and said slowly, "But it's too late."

According to the report Lian Po just received, more than [-] coalition soldiers have already invaded Yiyang City. Once Yiyang City is captured, as many soldiers as Baiqi camp come out will die.

Lord Xinling smiled and said: "Yes, the general believes it now, right?

Although Zhao Kuo has some experience in the art of war, after all, it is impossible to know the specific battle situation hundreds of miles away and respond in time, etc. What is that? "

The smile on Mr. Xinling's face suddenly disappeared, and he became inexplicably horrified.

Chapter 60

In Yiyang City, thick smoke billowed suddenly.

It's on fire, and it's still a fire!The fire swept through the small half of Yiyang City with thick smoke.

It was clearly daytime, but the sky seemed to be burning red, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.

"W-what's the matter?"

Because of being overly nervous, Mr. Xinling stuttered a little.

Lian Po's face also changed drastically, he gasped, and his voice changed when he spoke: "It's over, we've been caught!"

"Cheated?"

Lord Xinling asked subconsciously.

Lian Po looked at Lord Xinling, wishing he could cut off the head of this grand prince who was always known for his art of war, and his voice was as cold as the wind when he spoke: "Mr. Xinling, you are wrong, what Zhao Kuo said That's right!"

These words hit Mr. Xinling's chest like a sledgehammer, making this Young Master Wei pale, and he even became a lot more hurried when he spoke: "This, this is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Lian Po said coldly, then turned to the flag-bearer beside him and said, "Immediately give the order, the whole army retreats!"

Lord Xinling woke up like a dream, and howled: "No, we can't retreat at this time!"

Lian Po was furious, and shouted: "Idiot, there are a total of [-] elites there, do you want them to be burned to death in the city in vain?"

In the Qin army's camp, Bai Qi looked at the soaring flames in front of him, with a happy smile on his face.

"Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, you burned my Daqin generals and soldiers in Changping Xuan's City that day, and today I also burned tens of thousands of your Zhao Jun's lives here. It's a repayment!"

Bai Qi turned his head, and said lightly to Wang Lu beside him: "Is everything in Yiyang City arranged?"

Wang Lu hurriedly said: "Everything has been arranged, and the ambushes are already in place. None of the coalition soldiers who attacked the city can escape!"

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Then, let's order the whole army to attack!"

Half an hour later, the [-] troops of Zhao, Han, and Wei in Yiyang City were wiped out, and the Qin Army took advantage of the situation to break out from Yiyang City, launching a counterattack with the troops from the Qin Army's camp at the same time.

The coalition forces attacking the Qin army's camp were already terrified after seeing the fire in Yiyang City. In the chaos, the Chu army, Qi army, and Yan army retreated first, leaving only the coalition forces of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Jin to support them.

The Qin army took advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and the Allied Forces of the Six Nations were defeated. They threw away their helmets and armor all the way, and retreated hundreds of miles.

The Battle of Yiyang ended with the Qin Army annihilating more than [-] coalition soldiers and winning the final victory! "Ma'am, come and hug one!"

Zhao Kuo, who had just returned home from get off work, giggled and hugged Tian Wan.

Tian Wan's face turned red, and she dodged Zhao Kuo's hands with a slight flash: "Husband, there are so many people watching."

Zhao Kuo glanced at the giggling maids behind him, waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "They're all our own people, what are you afraid of?

Come, let Weifu listen to the baby's fetal movement. "

As he spoke, he leaned towards Tian Wan's stomach.

After playing around for a while, Zhao Kuo's mood also became happier.

Wife and children are hot on the kang, isn't this the life a man wants?

After eating with Tian Wan, Zhao Kuo went back to the study. Now it is the financial audit day in January, and he has to wait for the financial statements of the Zhao family from the housekeeper Xu Li.

Looking at the report sent by Xu Li, Zhao Kuo's mood became even happier.

Although a huge amount of money was spilled from the Zhao residence during this period, it was all valuable.

First of all, Zhao Kuo established the world's first heavy cavalry, which will surely become a big killer that changes the entire war, and also gives Zhao Kuo a real life-saving hole card.

What is money compared to one more life?

What's more, Zhao Kuo not only spends money, but also makes money.

Under the promotion of Mr. Pingyuan, Guo Zong, Zhou Shaofen and others, ginseng has become the most popular new medicine in Zhao Guozhong.

Moreover, the current rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. It is said that eating can rejuvenate the old, keep youth forever, and bring the dead back to life. In addition, the ginseng production area is directly monopolized by Pingyuan Junlian and Shangdang County Magistrate Zhou Shaofen. The price is directly rubbing all the way up.

Today, the lowest price of the most common ginseng plant is 25 yuan, which is almost three times higher than the minimum price of [-] yuan that Zhao Kuo had imagined before!Not only the Zhao country, but also the Qi country's market has opened up.

With Qi Guo Xiangbang Housheng as the "general distributor of ginseng in Qi State", and Zhao Kuo's brother-in-law Qi Wang Tianjian personally standing on the platform, this business is also booming in Qi State.

And Hou Sheng was even more greedy, the most common ginseng was sold for 50 yuan in Qi State!For this, Zhao Kuo can only feel that there is no darkest, only darker.

Nowadays, just from the dividends sold from the ginseng stores in Zhao and Qi, the average amount that can reach Zhao Kuo's account in a month is 800 million yuan.

Adding in the 500 million from Zhao Kuo and Guo Zong's Su Tie Dao business, Zhao's monthly income is 300 million.

What is the concept of 300 million?

The current salary of Zhao Kuo as a top minister like Zhao Guoshangqing is only 200 million yuan a year, which is less than one-sixth of the current monthly income of the Zhao family!Seeing the Zhao Mansion's treasury, which was empty enough to run a horse, become full at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xu Li's mood is not to mention much better. These days, he even walks lightly, feeling like he can fly to the sky at any time.

Zhao Kuo put down the account book, smiled at Xu Li, and said, "You did a good job, by the way, don't forget to keep it secret."

Xu Li responded, and then said with some puzzlement: "Master, we have such a powerful Chi You army, why do we keep it secret?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said: "Of course the trump card is only useful if it is used at a critical moment, understand?"

Before Zhao Kuo could teach Xu Li a few more words, someone came to report suddenly: "My lord, someone from the palace said that the king ordered you to enter the palace quickly!"

Zhao Kuo snorted, feeling some bad premonition in his heart.

It's so late and it's so urgent. Could it be that in the current state of Zhao, only Yiyang's battle situation is worthy of Zhao Wang's urgent call for important officials to enter the palace at such a late night?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo stood up all of a sudden: "Quick, prepare the car!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Kuo's carriage stopped under the steps of Longtai.

Zhao Kuo got off the carriage and was about to step up the steps when a chuckle came from behind him unexpectedly: "Isn't this Zhao Qing who predicted the enemy's attack first and thought that Bai Qi would be able to win by surprise?"

Zhao Kuo turned his head and saw Yu Xin standing with Lin Xiangru.

Even at night, the sneer and sarcasm on Yu Xin's face can be clearly seen at a glance.

Chapter 61 Handan Emergency Meeting

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and asked Yu Xin, "What are you looking at?"

Yu Xin was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what Zhao Kuo meant, and said with a sneer, "Why, is Zhao Qing flustered?"

Zhao Kuo was even more puzzled: "Don't you know that the king summoned us now, probably because of the Yiyang war?"

Yu Xin said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this that I have to laugh."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "You laughed too early."

Yu Xin said with a smile: "Laugh a little first, lest you laugh too loudly in front of the king later, and you will lose your dignity."

Zhao Kuo sighed, and glanced at Lin Xiangru beside Yu Xin: "Lin Qing, for the sake of your relationship with your late father, I would like to advise you, don't stay with fools all the time, lest you lose your life at the end of the day."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuo ignored Yu Xin, turned around and walked up the steps.

Yu Xin was irritated by Zhao Kuo's words, and couldn't help but sneer a few times, saying: "When we get to the king later, let's see how you can still laugh!"

Lin Xiangru frowned, and said, "Yu Qing, your hostility towards Zhao Kuo is too serious."

Yu Xin snorted and said, "Lin Qing's words are wrong. Zhao Kuo is a member of the official family. How could I be friendly with him?"

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said: "Everyone is for Zhao Guo, so why bother?

Besides, although Zhao Kuo is also from the Zhao family, he is a distant relative who has already released five clothes. "

Yu Xin shook his head disapprovingly, and said: "Lin Qing's remarks are a little naive, not to mention whether Zhao Kuo himself agrees or disagrees, does the king want to see two generals Lian Po and Zhao Kuo standing in the same camp?" ?

Now that we have chosen General Lian Po, then Zhao Kuo must be our opponent! "

Lin Xiangru was silent for a while, shook his head, and walked up the steps.

At this moment, two more carriages arrived, and Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao stepped down from the carriage one after another.

Lord Pingyang asked Lord Pingyuan: "Brother, what is the reason why the king summoned us late at night?"

Mr. Pingyuan stroked his beard and said: "If it's as expected by brother, it's probably because of Yiyang's victory."

"Yiyang?"

Jun Pingyang's face changed, and he asked eagerly: "I don't know if Brother Wang thinks the coalition army can win?"

Mr. Pingyuan pondered for a while, and said: "Although Lian Po is not against you and me, he still has the ability to lead the army. In addition, Qin State was annihilated in Changping last year with 30 people seriously injured. With an army twice as large as the Qin army, it is impossible to lose."

Jun Pingyang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "But Zhao Kuo said, is it possible that Bai Qi will come up with some tricks?"

Mr. Pingyuan let out a hey, and said, "I'm afraid Bai Qi is just a person with too much reputation, otherwise how could so many people die in Changping?

Lian Po was too careful at the time, otherwise Zhao Kuo would not have been able to get the credit. "

Pingyang Jun said disapprovingly: "Brother, this statement is a little too much, right?

Zhao Kuo's credit is there. "

Mr. Pingyuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei certainly knows that Zhao Kuo has made great achievements, but on this matter, Brother Wei thinks he must have made a wrong judgment.

After all, he is not on the front line, and many things are impossible for him to predict. "

Lord Pingyang let out a cry, followed Lord Pingyuan up the steps, and said to Lord Pingyuan, "Brother seems to have neglected Zhao Kuo on purpose recently, why is that?

Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin are in the same situation now, wouldn't it be good to pull Zhao Kuo to our side and let him fight Yu Xin? "

Lord Pingyuan glanced at Lord Pingyang, and said, "You, you are still too careless.

Haven't you noticed that Zhao Kuo's situation today was created by the king?

If you go to help Zhao Kuo for your brother, not only will you be punished by the king for your brother, but Zhao Kuo will not get any benefits. "

Pingyang Jun was surprised: "Why did Your Majesty do this?"

Mr. Pingyuan said quietly: "Your Majesty is boiling an eagle.

As long as the spirit in Zhao Kuo's heart is gone, Zhao Kuo will be the most loyal lackey of the king in the future.

If you think about Zhao Kuo who is only 25 years old now, you will know how worthwhile this matter is.

Remember, we must not spoil the king's calculations in this matter, understand? "

Jun Pingyang came to his senses and praised: "Brother really has a good idea, then let this Zhao Kuo fend for himself."

While chatting and laughing, the two also walked towards the main hall.

Zhao Kuo was somewhat surprised that King Zhao was not in the hall.

Zhao Kuo frowned again, feeling that this seemed to be a sign that things were getting worse.

There was a burst of laughter, and Yu Xin and Lin Xiangru came after them, and they smiled provocatively after seeing Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Xin, and sat down beside him.

As a man, it's meaningless to talk about it, let the facts do the talking.

After a while, Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang arrived hand in hand.

Except for Lian Po, who was fighting abroad, everything that should have arrived has already arrived.

"Where is the king?"

Mr. Pingyuan asked the guard standing beside him.

The guard was waiting for Ai Ai, but he was a little bit entangled in wanting to speak.

Mr. Pingyuan frowned, and his tone increased: "Where is the king?

what on earth is it? "
