Chapter 24 The brave man wins

Zhao Kuo never ignored anyone. Perhaps the Chinese are engraved with awe of their ancestors. Whether it is the Qin people, the Zhao people, whether it is the nobles, or the Qianshou, they are the beginning of the Chinese nation. Originally, they were just living in their blood, but now, they are standing in front of Zhao Kuo. As a enjoyer of the brilliant civilization that has grown on them, why shouldn’t they have some respect in their hearts?

What's more, among these millions, there is one, perhaps many, who are ancestors of Zhao Kuo several generations ago, with the same blood and the same bones as Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo originally wanted to ask Le Yi to ask him for a way to protect Zhao people, but when he saw this old man shining in Chinese history, lying on his sickbed in twilight years, he did not dare to bother him with these things. Unlike Tian Dan, Le Yi was a Zhao person. If he learned about the danger of Zhao State, he would definitely be worried. At his age, he really shouldn't be bothered by these things.

When he walked out of the Leyi courtyard, Zhao Kuo was in a heavy mood. No wonder the generals were willing to wear horses and die on the battlefield. I think they were unwilling to be like Leyi. Zhao Kuo was about to get on the carriage, but he saw Li Mu lowering his head and was particularly depressed. Zhao Kuo comforted him: "Everyone will grow old. It is not his blessing to be able to live to this age. You don't have to be depressed."

The young man raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "I'm not a robbery."

"Hahaha~~", Zhao Kuo laughed, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that people who can be generals and prime ministers have a broad mind like the sky. How could you care so much about this little thing?" The young man felt so uncomfortable by his idol, but when he heard Zhao Kuo's words, he nodded and did not continue to think about this matter.

"By the way, Qi Jie, I have another very important thing to entrust with you."

"I'm not a robbery!"

When he went to Leyi's mansion, he was still very angry and solemn. On the way back, there was constant laughter and joy. This was probably the young man who never kept heavy things in his heart. Zhao Kuo did not go to Ying Yiren's mansion to make an appointment. He had another very important thing. The carriage drove directly towards the horse uniform. On the way, Zhao Kuo seriously explained to Li Mu what he wanted to do next.

"What Mr. Tian said is right. What we need to do most now is to improve morale. According to what I said, let the soldiers know the military merit system of the Qin people and stimulate their fighting will. This is the most important thing at present. I heard that soldiers who can experience three failures without disintegration can be called elites. Now we have experienced three failures. Four lieutenants were captured and retreated for more than ten miles. The soldiers of Zhao State were still able to follow General Lian Po to defend them. They are already elites."

"The Shangjun did not cut off their food and grass, and General Lian Po did not abuse them. The reason why they lost to Qin was largely because they did not have the will to continue fighting. As long as they had the idea of ​​defending their country and understood the tyranny of the Qin people, they might not be able to follow General Lian Po to repel the enemy." Zhao Kuo said, Li Mu nodded and said, "I will definitely act according to your orders, but I don't know how to let the soldiers know."

What Zhao Kuo ordered him just now was to ask him to find Lian Po and motivate the soldiers of Zhao State there.

Zhao Kuo didn't care. He smiled and said, "I heard that those who have great positions do not have to do everything themselves. Putting the right people in the right position is the style of being able to do it. You don't have to worry. I have a talent under my command. If you take him to stay in the Zhao army for a while, he will definitely let this matter spread and let everyone know the tyranny of the Qin people."

He said, and looked at Di not far away.

Li Mu was shocked and followed his gaze and asked, "Is there such a talent?"

"No matter who is in his most suitable position, he will definitely shine like the sun."

"What about you, what is your most suitable location?" Li Mu asked curiously.

"I, I don't understand military affairs, I don't know about agriculture and sericulture, and I can't bear the most usefulness, but I know a little bit about the calculations and become a tax officer in the village, maybe I can still fulfill my responsibilities."

"You are too modest. I think that at home, you can serve as the prime minister, and abroad, you can serve as the general."

.........

The sky gradually became a little dark. Just as the carriage was about to arrive at the Mafu Township, the sharp-eyed Zhao Kuo saw a man who fell on the side of the road, and his life and death were unknown. Zhao Kuo asked Ge to stop the car and see if the man was still alive. Ge got out of the car, squatted down, and pulled up the man on the ground. He was still alive. Looking at the cracked lips, it seemed that he had just fallen here because he had not drunk water for a long time.

This is a bit strange. There are obviously many villages around here, and when they are thirsty, they just want water. No one will not pour water for guests on the trip. In some more enthusiastic places, they can entertain passers-by and provide food. How could he get to this point? Without Zhao Kuoduo's instructions, Ge found a water bag. He seemed to be very experienced in these things. He carefully dripped some water into the man's mouth and wiped his face with water.

After just a moment, the man opened his eyes weakly.

He spoke, but Ge couldn't understand what he said, so he turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo couldn't understand either. He was struggling. Fortunately, he walked up and talked to the man for a while before looking at Zhao Kuo. He said, "Shaojun, he is from Yan, he originally went to Handan to visit his relatives." Zhao Kuo nodded and ordered, "Let him give him some food."

Xun nodded and talked to the man for a moment. The man's face gradually became solemn. He walked to Zhao Kuo, leaned over and bowed, looked at him deeply, and then made way. Zhao Kuo continued to rush, Xun said while walking aside: "He insisted on knowing your identity. I told him that he made way."

"How could you say what the Yan people say? Also, is the difference between the Yan people's words and the Zhao people's words so big?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Fortunately, before he could speak, Di couldn't help but speak. He said, "Young Master doesn't know anything. Fortunately, he committed an accident and fled from Zhao State. He has been to many places. Back then, he was notorious for the generation of Handan..."

"Cough cough...", Fortunately, he started coughing quickly.

Di was stunned, and just smiled, and didn't say anything. He just looked at the Yan man who was leaving and said, "I guess that person may be the same as Xun, but he is much worse than Xun. I heard that Xun killed someone back then, and he was still very good outside, so he almost got into an official position."

"Cough cough cough...", Xun coughed again, and just looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Yan State also has many languages. He probably comes from the northernmost point, so the language gap is quite large."

Zhao Kuo didn't ask anything more.

When the carriage entered the Mafu Township, more than a dozen of Zhao Kuo's disciples were waiting outside the courtyard. Everyone paid homage to Zhao Kuo and then hugged him into the courtyard. Zhao Kuo first went to pay homage to his mother, and then called Li Mu and Di indoors. The three of them sat on the table, and Zhao Kuo was very serious.

He looked at Di and said seriously: "I have something to ask you to do."

When Di heard this, he immediately looked stern, "Please give me your order, I can die for you."

"I think you can go to Shangdang County with Li Mu. Li Mu wants to pay homage to General Lian Po, but you need to complete the subsequent things. The Qin people have military merits. The reason why they do not hate war is not to seize more land for the country, but to get more heads to get rewards. If they defeat the soldiers of Zhao, they will definitely kill all the soldiers because they need heads."

"After this, they may also massacre Zhao State to get more heads."

"Now, because Shangjun is afraid that such a thing will happen, he is planning to reward all soldiers after the war. As long as he can defeat the Qin people, money and land can be rewarded to everyone. I hope you can bring these news to the soldiers of Zhao State to let them know these things, defend the women and children who remain in Zhao State, and at the same time protect themselves. Under the current circumstances, even if Zhao State retreats to Handan, the Qin people will not give up without the head."

"My father once said that the brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. Only by bravely fighting with the Qin people can one protect oneself, the Qin people, and the country."
