Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Zhao Kuo can gain a huge advantage.

After solving the problem of Korean rule step by step, Zhao Kuo is actually facing a new problem now.

This question has a relatively historical origin, that is, how to deal with Zhou Tianzi?

Yes, this Zhou Tianzi is not another Zhou Tianzi, but the Zhou Tianzi of the Zhou Dynasty founded by King Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and Taishi Jiang.

Why Zhou Tianzhi has survived to the present is actually very simple, because the Zhou Dynasty is divided into two time periods, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Now it happens to be the end of the Warring States Period, so Zhou Tianzi has not disappeared yet. .

It's just that the current Zhou Tianzi's power is already very weak, and his fief is only a city like Luoyi, and all other places are controlled by South Korea.

To put it bluntly, the current Emperor Zhou is actually a puppet under the control of the Koreans. He is a bit like the Vatican Holy See in the Western world, but the Vatican Holy See is more miserable. There is only one palace where the Pope lives, and there is no Zhou Dynasty. The Son of Heaven is a big city.

After Zhao State destroyed South Korea, the current Luoyi was surrounded by all the territory of Zhao State. Considering that there were no soldiers and horses in Luoyi, it can be said that Zhao Kuo only wanted to destroy the Zhou Dynasty. A matter of words.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuo also made a decision: "Issue an order to tell the new Sanchuan County Sheriff to maintain the status quo of Luoyi for the time being.

But the Dukes of West Zhou and Dukes of East Zhou should abolish them. "

Luoyi is also known as Luoyang City in later generations. The current situation of this city is quite peculiar, because although the territory of Zhou Tianzi is already so small, this territory can be divided into two parts.

The part to the east belonged to Duke Zhou of the East, while the part to the west naturally belonged to Duke Zhou of the West.

These are also some historical grievances of Emperor Zhou, and Zhao Kuo didn't bother to care about them, but, for Zhao Kuo, of course, the more lonely the emperor this week, the better, so all the Dukes of West Zhou and Dukes of East Zhou should go away.

After disposing of the sleight of hand that came from the demise of South Korea, Zhao Kuo finally welcomed Li Mu back.

On this day, Li Mu led Zhao Guo's [-] troops to escort many Korean captives, as well as countless gold and silver wealth, back to the capital of Zhao Guo, Handan City.

For Li Mu's triumphant return, Zhao Wang showed considerable interest. According to the reports of the officials in charge of the matter, Zhao Wang personally intervened in almost every matter of the triumphal celebration, striving for perfection.

Of course, Zhao Kuo's camp was not unaware of this, so Xu Li reminded Zhao Kuo.

"Master, why is Your Majesty so enthusiastic about Li Mu?

It always feels contrived. "

In this regard, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly: "Of course there is a conspiracy, after all, our king is not a fool."

When things go wrong, there must be demons. This is the truth that everyone knows. Recently, King Zhao is tired of being with Queen Li every day. He can't wait to hand over all the government affairs to Zhao Kuo. It's not normal if there is no ghost.

Xu Li thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that the king regards Li Mu as the second Zhou Shaofen?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "It should look like this."

After all, King Zhao is still too young, so he doesn't know how to cover up when he does something, and it becomes very easy to guess his goal.

When Xu Li heard this, he was immediately a little upset: "This king, it was not enough to get Zhou Shaofen before, but now he still wants to dig Li Mu?"

To Xu Li, the people of Lord Wu Xin's mansion are the people of Lord Wu Xin's mansion, not the people of King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "There is no way to do it, an excellent subordinate like Li Mu, everyone has seen his brilliance, so how could they not want to stand with him?

It's just..." Zhao Kuo paused for a moment, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Li Mu is from this Marquis, so it's not so easy to snatch someone from this Marquis! "

For Zhao Kuo, Zhou Shaofen's betrayal is already very unpleasant, who wants to repeat the old trick now?

I'm sorry, even if you are the so-called king, that's absolutely not allowed!After hearing Zhao Kuo's statement, Xu Li waved his palm vigorously, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right! The old minister has long been unhappy with these guys.

But how do we deal with them? "

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't they think that they can instigate Li Mu like they instigated Zhou Shaofen back then?

Then let them get their wish this time! "

Xu Li was taken aback when he heard the words, then thoughtful.

At night, Zhao Jun camped.

Li Mu led Zhao Guo's army to a place less than [-] miles away from Handan City, and set up camp here.

Counting from the time, Li Mu will officially arrive in Handan City tomorrow to participate in the triumphant ceremony.

So of course Li Mu was in a very relaxed mood at this time, and even drank with the generals under his command for a while, and then returned to his handsome tent drunk.

As soon as he returned to the handsome tent, Li Mu was startled.

someone.

After seeing the person's face clearly, Li Mu put down the hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and complained: "Su Li, I am also a general after all, and you didn't even report to the general before meeting him." Do you understand?"

Su Li smiled slightly, and said to Li Mu: "Which one of us brothers is with whom, let's just report this kind of thing."

Li Mu snorted dissatisfiedly, sat down in front of Su Li, and said, "You are in charge of Nightingale, and it is absolutely impossible for you to leave the lord for nothing.

Tell me, is something going on in Handan? "

Su Li smiled and took out a secret letter from his pocket: "Written by the lord, burn it after reading it."

Li Mu's expression became serious. He carefully opened the seal and began to read.

Watching and watching, Li Mu's brows gradually wrinkled, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Su Li smiled and said, "Why, why don't you express your opinion?"

Li Mu let out a long breath, put the letter paper on the oil lamp on the table, watched the flames devour the letter, and then spoke.

"Why didn't someone else come up with this strategy?"

Su Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "Because the person that the king and Zhou Shaofen want to win over is you."

Li Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not like you don't know that my acting skills are very poor. What if they see a flaw?"

Su Li shook his head and said: "You are stupid, you don't need to get close to that old fox Zhou Shaofen, you just need to put on an attitude of being devoted to the king.

Your Majesty appreciates you very much. With His Majesty's trust, Zhou Shaofen's side is not a problem at all. "

Li Mu looked a little helpless, and said, "Can't we just go straight into Handan and kill all these people?"

Su Li stroked the beard on his chin, and said, "My lord has said it, but the time has not yet come."

Li Mu was a little annoyed: "But it's been so many years!"

Su Li smiled and said: "But the Lord also said, as long as the king really believes in you, then the time will come immediately."

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really?"

Su Li nodded: "It's absolutely true!"

Li Mu slammed his fist heavily on the table, causing the oil lamp to splash a few drops of lamp oil.

"Okay, you go back and tell the lord, I, Li Mu, will cooperate with him to play a big show this time!"

Su Li laughed, and said: "My lord, I have another sentence for you to tell you. Half a hundred miles away, only those who can really persevere to the end are the real winners!" After saying this sentence , Su Li stood up, bowed to Li Mu, and then disappeared gracefully into the darkness.

Li Mu sat alone in the handsome tent, and after a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Unexpectedly, it's time for my old Li to take the lead.

I don't know what Li Si's face will be like if he knows the truth in the future? "

Although Li Mu is not enthusiastic about politics and is too lazy to participate, he has a pair of sharp eyes.

Li Si thought that he had concealed his jealousy towards Li Mu well, but he didn't know that Li Mu had already seen through everything.

But from Li Mu's point of view, he actually doesn't like Li Si either, because he thinks this person is too gloomy to be a friend!After all, everyone is now in the "startup period", so Li Mu will not do anything to Li Si.

However, Li Mu didn't mind this kind of thing at all, so he slapped Li Si in the face to let Li Si know what is called a real confidant by the lord's side, and what is called a real great hero by the lord's side!Thinking of this, Li Mu's laughter became louder and louder.

The next day.

In the morning, countless officials and people of Zhao State were already waiting at the gate of Handan City.

It is worth mentioning that many of them did not come here on their own. After all these years of victories, everyone has watched too many triumphal ceremonies, so they are naturally a little tired of aesthetics.

It's just that King Zhao gave the order to die this time, causing many officials to even send out everyone in the mansion, including the handymen, with only one purpose, to cheer for Li Mu.

Even King Zhao himself broke the convention, instead of waiting at the gate of the palace city, he came directly outside the city of Handan to wait!Zhao Wang's goal is also very simple.

Take Li Mu for your own use!

Chapter 995 Zhao Kuo's Astonishing Reward

Soon, the army led by Li Mu appeared.

The soldiers are mighty, the flags are fluttering, and the soldiers are full of morale. They all want to show the appearance of a victorious teacher in front of their fathers and villagers.

Excited discussions and various voices popped up immediately.

Zhao Wang also showed a smile, and said to Zhao Kuo who was beside him: "Wu Xinjun, General Li Mu has returned from victory this time, besides you, I finally have another general who can destroy other countries!"

Zhao Wang's words are sincere words from the heart.

In the past, whether it was the Yan State or the Wei State, they were all destroyed under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, and the process was not smooth, that is, without Zhao Kuo, the destruction of the country would not be possible.

But now it's different, Li Mu has grown up and become the second general in Zhao country who can destroy other countries.

what does this mean?

It means that King Zhao doesn't need to think that there is only one Zhao Kuo in Zhao Guo who can fight. This is definitely of great significance to King Zhao.

If there is only one Zhao Kuo who can fight, then no matter how domineering Zhao Kuo is, King Zhao can only endure it.

Of course, even if Zhao Kuo is not really domineering, Zhao Wang still has some vague tolerance for the current Zhao Kuo. This is like a company, the boss will always treat the person who controls the real core technology of the company. The good words of the boss are relatively the same.

With Li Mu, Zhao Wang is equivalent to getting a second employee who can control the core technology, so Zhao Kuo is no longer the only one.

Zhao Wang felt that at this moment he was finally free!In addition, Zhao Wang said this sentence has another meaning for Zhao Kuo.

Divorce!Yes, as Zhao Kuo had guessed before, King Zhao very much hoped to drive a wedge between Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, and let Li Mu break away from Zhao Kuo's camp.

Since Li Mu is a general and the number one in the military in Zhao Guo's current official position, as long as Li Mu can leave Zhao Kuo, it will definitely deal a big blow to Zhao Kuo's development in the military.

Otherwise, Zhao Wang's EQ is not low, so why deliberately refute Zhao Kuo's face here? After Zhao Wang finished saying this, the original smile on Zhao Kuo's face obviously froze.

A few seconds later, Zhao Kuo regained his indifference, and said with a smile: "What the king said is true, and the old minister also wants to congratulate the king."

Congratulations, but as long as you are not blind, you can tell that there is no smile on Zhao Kuo's face.

Seeing Zhao Kuo like this, Zhao Wang was also relieved.

I am not afraid that you will be angry, but I am afraid that you will not be angry.

At this moment, the eunuch Ling said in time, "Your Majesty, General Li Mu has arrived!"

King Zhao hurriedly collected his thoughts and saw that Li Mu's handsome car had gradually arrived.

After a while, Li Mu strode forward and came to King Zhao: "My subject, Li Mu, has met the king, luckily he did not disgrace his life!"

King Zhao laughed out loud, and walked down directly to Yujia, and took Li Mu's hand very kindly: "General Li Mu, with you, it's like Boya having a child.

Zhao Guo has you, the world can be settled! "

King Zhao's praise of Li Mu immediately surprised the other Zhao ministers present.

It's not that Li Mu is not worthy of praise, but the words of King Zhao also praised Li Mu too highly, right?

If Li Mu is praised so highly, what about Li Mu's leading brother, Zhao Kuo?

Many people subconsciously shifted their eyes to Zhao Kuo, and then they saw that Zhao Kuo's face was ugly, very ugly.

Suddenly, these ministers seemed to have a premonition in their hearts.

"Could it be, Wu Xinjun and Li Mu?" This hunch was quickly deepened.

Zhao Wang personally took Li Mu's hand and got into the imperial car, and the monarch and his ministers returned to the palace together.

This is considered a routine, but Zhao Wang and Li Mu were talking and laughing on the Yujia, which was noticed by everyone.

Zhao Kuo's carriage was the first one after Zhao Wang and Li Mu's royal driver. Zhao Kuo's expression was very calm throughout the whole process, and no waves could be seen.

Soon, the convoy returned to the palace city of Zhao State and arrived at the Ancestral Temple of Zhao State.

This time, King Zhao and Li Mu stayed alone in the ancestral temple for half an hour, which was so long that the ministers outside talked about it.

"What are the king and the general discussing inside?"

"Didn't the king and the general have a good conversation in the car just now?

I guess we're still talking. "

"I didn't expect the king to be so angry with the general."

Zhao Kuo stood calmly at the head of the group of officials, coughed suddenly, and said coldly: "Is it something that the courtiers can say about the king's affairs?"

As Zhao Guo Xiangbang, when Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, everyone immediately shut their mouths obediently.
