Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Ji Hou nodded slightly towards Wang Chong, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let me report the results of this period of time."

Wang Chong said respectfully: "According to your instructions, we have cooperated with Yu Xin during this period of time and have eliminated seven ginseng teams, and killed 130 four ginseng visitors who dared to enter the mountain alone or in groups. Now the entire Changping Basically all ginseng collection activities in the county have come to a standstill."

Ji Hou nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, you did a great job.

When I return to Xianyang, I will give you credit in front of the king.

The Wang clan has always been loyal to Daqin, and you, Wang Chong, have not dishonored the glory of the Wang clan! "

Wang Chong's face turned ruddy because of Jihou's praise, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, this is what Wang Chong should do.

Wang Chong actually wanted to know one thing, when will Zhao Kuo come? "

When talking about Zhao Kuo, Wang Chong's eyes flashed a look of incomparable hatred.

Wang Chong's eldest brother, Wang Ling, was originally a general under Bai Qi's command. During the Battle of Changping, he was tricked by Zhao Kuo.

Therefore, Wang Chong and Zhao Kuo are absolutely sworn enemies.

Ji Hou laughed, and said, "Wang Chong, you don't have to worry, the old man has already received the information. Zhao Kuo and his people just set off from Handan, and it may take some time before they arrive in Changping County."

Wang Chong let out a long breath, and said respectfully: "This subordinate lost his composure, and made adults laugh."

Ji Hou waved his hand, and said slowly: "Wang Chong, remember, the more critical this kind of revenge is, the more calm we must be.

Zhao Kuo not only killed your elder brother, we Daqin had 30 good men died at Zhao Kuo's hands!Almost everyone here has a grudge against Zhao Kuo and wants to kill Zhao Kuo, not just you, understand? "

Wang Chong knelt down on one knee with a plop, and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake, please punish me."

Jihou sighed, and said: "Punishment is unnecessary, have all the three hundred warriors assembled?"

Wang Chong said respectfully, "It's all here."

Jihou said again: "The ordnance from Korea can be thrown away, from now on you don't have to pretend to be Korean.

By the way, all the prisoners have been captured? "

Wang Chong said: "More than 200 people have been arrested, most of them are members of the ginseng team, and some are ginseng guests."

Ji Hou nodded and said, "Very good.

When the time comes to kill Zhao Kuo, we will burn all these captives and cottages to death, and then return to Hedong County.

In this way, no matter how much Zhao Guo investigates, he will only think that Zhen Potian was overly frightened and committed suicide in fear of crime after killing Zhao Kuo by mistake. "

Ji Hou let out a series of inexplicable laughter, which made people sound creepy.

Wang Chong was still very respectful.

Jihou waved his hand and said: "Pay attention to sending someone to Xuan's City to watch Yu Xin. After all, Yu Xin is a minister of Zhao State. Even if he has such a deep hatred with Zhao Kuo, we still have to be careful." his.

If you have nothing else to do, you all go down. "

After a while, Wang Chong and Wang Chong's hundreds of years of subordinates dispersed, leaving only Jihou sitting quietly on the dilapidated seats at the top of the lobby.

Jihou stroked his beard and stared at the distant sky, feeling lost in thought.

Last year, 60 Qin soldiers fought a decisive battle with 40 Zhao soldiers in this place, which was destined to be recorded in history, but the result of that decisive battle was something that no old Qin people wanted to see The lives of 30 Daqin soldiers were buried here forever.

But Daqin is not the kind of country that only indulges in failure. In fact, when the Battle of Changping failed, Jihou's plan had already quietly started.

A group of Qin Ruishi with a scale of one hundred quietly sneaked back to the southern mountains of Shangdang County through the rugged Taihang Mountains and became one of the many bandits here.

In the following six months, Jihou slowly expanded the number of "bandits" to 300, and used the military equipment and other clues seized by Qin from South Korea in the previous battle to pass on to the outside world. A signal that "Zhen Potian is a Korean soldier who is unwilling to surrender to Zhao Guo and turned into a bandit".

In fact, each of these 300 people is the most elite "sharp soldier" in Qin State, comparable to the special forces of later generations.

From Jihou's point of view, [-] sharp soldiers are at least equivalent to [-] regular Zhao troops.

This is the secret of why Zhou Shaofen did not destroy this "bandit" with great efforts when he was the county guard, and it is also the reason why Jihou is full of confidence in front of Yu Xin and feels that he will be able to kill Zhao Kuo !After a long time, Ji Hou let out a long breath and muttered something to himself.

"Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, you are certainly an unborn genius, but since you have caused such a heavy loss to my Great Qin and rejected my king's solicitation, this time the old man can only let you stay here forever Already!"

As the sun set in the west, the sky was filled with brilliant sunset glow, a piece of blood red like blood, and the golden red sunlight shone on Ji Hou's face, reflecting a murderous intent all over his face.

Chapter 110

On the mountain, the horse is riding fast without getting off the saddle.

Looking back in shock, I was three feet three from the sky.

The poem written by the leader is not about Taihang Mountain, but Zhao Kuo feels that these two sentences are still very appropriate to describe Taihang Mountain.

Taihang Mountain spreads thousands of miles from north to south, like a gigantic pyramid standing north of the Yellow River, whoever controls this area will be able to look down on the entire land of the Central Plains.

This is why historians often say that after the victory of the Battle of Changping, Qin State established the trend of unifying the world.

If it is controlled by Qin State, then Qin State can go out of the Central Plains through Taihang Mountain anytime and anywhere to attack a vast area including Handan, the capital of Zhao State, but the six eastern countries have no way to counter it.

Therefore, Qin State and Zhao State launched an unprecedented decisive battle in Changping because of this resource-poor Shangdang County with more than two-thirds of the mountainous area.

But that's all in the past.

Looking at the mountains of Shangdang County in front of him, Zhao Kuo let out a long breath, and smiled at Xu Li beside him: "Uncle Xu, when we come to Shangdang next time, we will probably bring another large army."

Zhao Kuo was talking about Zhao State’s plan to attack Qin State next year. Qin State Hedong County now borders Zhao State Shangdang County, so Shangdang County will become the only way for Zhao State to attack Qin State next year.

Xu Li was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "This is the place where the master rose. The old minister feels that the luck of this place is compatible with the master. Maybe something good will happen this time."

Zhao Kuo laughed out loud and refused to comment on such superstitious words.

Although the mountain road is steep, because the army passed through this Fukou Xing during the Battle of Changping, this Xing Xing was widened to allow vehicles transporting supplies to pass through. Zhao Kuo and his party of hundreds of knights naturally galloped at an extremely fast speed. quick.

Two days later, Zhao Kuo arrived at Changzhi County, the county seat of Shangdang County.

"Master, why don't we go directly to Changping?"

Xu Li raised a question.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Yu Xin is also the sheriff of Shangdang County after all, so we have to say hello.

Besides, he still has to take soldiers from Yu Xin. "

According to the Zhao State system, the command power of the local county soldiers is in the hands of the county lieutenant, but if the county lieutenant wants to transfer troops, he must ask the county magistrate to sign the transfer order and stamp it with a seal. A mutual restraint is formed, and the local military power will not fall into the hands of any one of them.

However, when Zhao Kuo came to the county guard's mansion, he was stopped outside the door.

An official of the county guard stood in front of Zhao Kuo, and said with a smirk: "Returning inspector, my master has already personally gone to Changping County half a month ago to supervise the elimination of Zhen Potian and his party. "

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and said, "What about the county lieutenant?"

The official still had the same smile on his face: "Since it is the conquest of Zhenpotian, the county lieutenant will of course go south to Changping with my lord."

Zhao Kuo was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Very well, I understand.

Who is in charge here now?

Call him out to me. "

The official was slightly taken aback, and after a few seconds he said: "Yes, please wait a moment for the inspector."

Zhao Kuo reined in his horse and stood on the side of the street, surrounded by hundreds of knights, all passers-by paid attention and gave way one after another.

In the mansion, a conversation is going on.

"Chang Shi, the inspector Zhao Kuo is here.

He said let the person in charge here go out and meet him. "

"Oh."

"Long history?"

"What's the matter?"

"Then Zhao Kuo" "Didn't you see that the official is busy?

What Zhao Kuo is not Zhao Kuo, just shut up and let him wait! "

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters passed.

Half an hour passed.

An angry look began to appear on Xu Li's face: "Master, these guys are so negligent, it's really deceiving!"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and sighed, "Go in."

Zhao Kuo rode his horse towards the sheriff's mansion in front of him.

Several guards guarding the gate stepped forward to stop Zhao Kuo's horse and said, "You can't go in!"

Zhao Kuo sighed, "Do you know who I am?"

The guard still didn't retreat.

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't kill them."

After the words fell, the two knights behind Zhao Kuo rushed out at the same time.

With two bangs, the guards flew out and fell to the ground without getting up for a long time.

Zhao Kuo entered the official residence of the sheriff, and said lightly: "Search, find out the person in charge here."

A middle-aged official stood in front of Zhao Kuo angrily: "Although you are an inspector, you have no right to trespass on the county magistrate's mansion!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at the middle-aged official's face and felt a little familiar: "What's your name?"

The middle-aged official looked at Zhao Kuo proudly: "This is Yu Ping, and Shi is the governor of Shangdang County."

Zhao Kuo suddenly said: "Yu Xin's younger brother?

No wonder your brain is as bad as his.

Since the county guard and the county lieutenant are not here, this is where you have the biggest history? "

The county guard, the county lieutenant, and the long history, these are the three highest officials in a county.

Yu Ping snorted and said, "Exactly."

Zhao Kuo said, "Then why don't you come out to meet me?"

Yu Ping said coldly: "Why should I welcome you?

As Shangdang County Chief Shi, my duty is to assist the county guard in governing the people. Why do I need to be the doorman who greets and sends people?

You are not a king! "

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Take it."

Yu Ping turned pale in shock, backed up and shouted: "Zhao Kuo, I am an official of the Great Zhao, you can't do without the duties of the sheriff and the great king." Xu Li punched Yu Ping in the face, and directly took Yu Ping down. All the words were blocked back.

Zhao Kuo suppressed his smile, and said lightly: "As an inspector, I inspect Shangdang County for the king, which represents the majesty of the king! You, a mere Shangdang county chief, Shi, ignores the king's visit, and still speaks loudly here What do you mean to keep the land and keep the people safe?

As the inspector of Zhao State, I order that from today onwards, you will be dismissed! "

Yu Ping was beaten to death by Xu Li's punch, and he couldn't help shouting: "Zhao Kuo, you can't." Zhao Kuo interrupted Yu Ping: "Of course I can.

Hold on! "

Seeing Yu Ping being dragged away like a dead pig, all Shangdang county officials present fell into dead silence, and looked at Zhao Kuo full of awe.

Zhao Kuo walked into the hall, sat down in the seat originally belonged to Yu Xin, and said lightly: "Come here, go and get the file of the county lieutenant, the inspector is going to transfer troops now!"

This time, the officials of Shangdang County acted surprisingly swiftly.

A few minutes later, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but frowned, looking at the county captain's file in front of him: "The county soldiers in the entire county are gone?"

The entire county soldiers in Shangdang County were taken to Changping County by Yu Xin in the name of exterminating Zhen Potian.

Looking at a group of Shangdang County officials trembling in front of him, Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought.

Yu Xin clearly did not support the suppression of bandits, so why did he directly recruit all the county soldiers to go to Changping after hearing that Zhao Kuo, the inspector, was going out?

Could it be that Yu Xin was scared?

After a long time, Zhao Kuo stood up.

"Uncle Xu, let's go to Changping County."

Zhao Kuo only stayed at the Shangdang County Sheriff's Mansion for half an hour before continuing south without stopping.

Immediately, Xu Li couldn't help complaining: "I didn't expect that Yu Xin's brother is so stupid, and it's no wonder that Yu Xin is so unbearable."

"It's not like that, Uncle Xu."
