260 BC, December 21.

When the news of the siege of Tunliu City came, Zhao Dan's tense mood finally became a lot better, and he even began to have time to sigh about Zhao Kuo's luck.

Looking at the battle report that had just come from his hand, Zhao Dan suddenly found that Zhao Kuo, a guy, had already had two escapes from death since his fate was changed by himself.

Could this be the so-called Noji Tailai?

If that's the case, that's a good thing.

In this era, it is actually a very common situation for Jiangmen Huzi.

Why? Because of the inheritance of knowledge.

In any country in any era, knowledge is always one of the most precious things.

With the inheritance of knowledge, human beings will continue to progress, and so will the family.

In the era when Zhao Dan crossed over, there was once a person named Chen Sheng who said something that shook the deaf and influenced the Chinese for two thousand years, this sentence is called "The prince will Xiangning have a kind?" ”

Actually, there is.

Let's take a look at an extremely prominent family in Chinese history - the Langya Wang family.

One of the most prominent clan of the gate lord in later generations, the Langya Wang clan, was born from Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State.

Wang Jian and his people have made great achievements in history for the Qin State to unify the world, and the six countries in the world were destroyed by Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, plus Wang Qian's grandson Wang Li, a family of three lieges, has been extremely prominent.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Ji, Wang Jun, and Wang Chong, the descendants of Wang Qian, once served in the Western Han Dynasty as a doctor, a doctor of imperial history, and a great sikong.

Later, Wang Zun, Wang Yin, and Wang Rong served in the Eastern Han Dynasty as Taizhong Doctor, General Peng, Nankang Yin and other positions.

After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, it was also the Wang family who crossed to the south in clothes, and was established by Wang Dao and Wang Dun to establish Sima Rui, which was once unparalleled in power and had the name of "king and horse, sharing the world".

"The Dialectic of Ancient and Modern Surname Books" said: "Langya Wang's family from the Han Dynasty to the Han Dynasty under the doctor Wang Ji, more Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a family of 62 people, more than 50 servants of the three public orders, 80 people in the service, and 25 people in the Ministry of Shangshu. It can be called "hairpin does not replace", "crown does not replace", "Shilu does not replace".

From the unification of the Qin Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, for hundreds of years, the royal family that ruled the land of China changed one after another, but what has always remained the same is the prominence and high position of the Wang family.

Is this an accident? Apparently not.

So what Chen Sheng didn't know was that the princes and generals he hated were actually really "kinds".

The "seed" of this princely and generals' family is knowledge.

The knowledge here does not refer to the Four Books and Five Classics, nor is it a false and empty eight-strand text, nor is it a courtesy, righteousness, shame, and moral tradition.

The knowledge here refers to how to deal with the king, how to manage one side, how to control the subordinates, how to buy people's hearts, and even how to be an emperor.

As long as they have this invaluable knowledge, then even if these families decline for a while, there will always be a day when they will rise.

Knowledge is the root of all families.

Zhao Kuo has knowledge, which comes from his father Zhao Hao.

Ma Fujun Zhao Hao is not an exaggeration to describe him as a genius.

His people can be civil and martial, can be officials and generals, can not only share the worries of the monarch, but also be able to unite colleagues, it is simply a perfect courtier template with no dead ends and no fault in all aspects.

In Zhao Dan's view, Zhao Hao and Wang Jian are actually the same kind of people, and they both belong to the kind of ancestor-level people who can create a top-level gate valve family.

But Zhao Hao's luck was obviously much worse than Wang Qian's, because Zhao Hao died when he was only in his fifties, and then Zhao Hao's son Zhao Kuo died in Changping before he grew up.

These two successive blows, coupled with the demise of the Zhao State, eventually led to the fact that Zhao Hao's Zhao clan had broken off its inheritance before it could gain momentum.

But that's no longer the case.

Zhao Dan's crossing changed Zhao Kuo's fate, and also gave Zhao Hao's Zhao family the possibility of inheriting and carrying forward like the Wang family.

In view of the contribution of the Wang family to the Qin State in history, Zhao Dan actually hopes that the Zhao State can also have such a good minister family like the Qin King Clan, and the "Zhao family" of Zhao Hao and Zhao Kuo is one of the candidates in Zhao Dan's mind.

This is why Zhao Dan did not give the three articles of Sun Tzu's Art of War to others, but gave them to Zhao Kuo.

Of course, at present, Zhao Dan is only in the cultivation stage for Zhao Kuo, whether it will work or not, this has to be proved by Zhao Kuo himself.

If Zhao Kuo turns out to be just a waste wood in the end, then Zhao Dan will not be stupid to continue to help him, but let him fend for himself.

For the king, whether it is useful or useless is the most direct measure.

Useful people are people worth cultivating.

Judging from the current situation, at least Zhao Kuo is doing a good job, and it is quite useful.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said to Mi Xian in front of him: "And send someone to pass on the order of the widow, and Zhao Kuo will be meritorious in battle, and the widow will be very comforted, and the reward will be 10,000 yuan, and the woman will be 20." And ordered him to keep the army in the tun, and be sure to defend the tun for the widow! ”

"Yui." Mixian answered, and went out.

At this moment, Zhao Dan is not in Handan, but in Changzhi City, where Shangdang County is located.

In the great court meeting a few days ago, after Zhao Danli passed the general mobilization order of Zhao State, the people in Handan had been mobilized in just a few days.

To Zhao Dan's delight, after the general mobilization order was issued, he found that there were 100,000 men in Handan alone who could be used as militiamen!

Of course, this is because the vicinity of Handan was originally the most densely populated place in Zhao State, but even so, after the four big cities are full, it should be no problem to get together 200,000 or more.

So Zhao Dan issued another order to eliminate the only son inside, and then rushed towards Shangdang with the remaining 90,000 militiamen.

At this moment, Zhao Dan had already led his army through the east of Fukou and came to a small city called Liyi, and it only took a few more days to reach Changzhi.

And the army that rushed to aid Tunliu County was actually not sent by Zhao Dan, but from Jinyang, the old capital of Zhao State, west of Tunliu County.

Overall, the current situation is optimistic, at least not worsening.

After Zhao Dan finished dealing with Zhao Kuo's affairs, he picked up a bamboo slip from the table in front of him.

This is a report sent back by Lian Po, the general of the front.

Since Zhao Dan announced his personal conquest, the report sent from the Changping front line has changed from once every three days to once a day.

Zhao Dan carefully read the letter written by Lian Po himself.

It seems that there is no big problem on the Changping front, except for the daily routine meat grinder battle outside Changping Pass, Lian Po resolutely held the defense line and did not let Bai Qi make a comprehensive breakthrough.

After reading Lian Po's information, Zhao Dan was also a little relieved.

In any case, although Lian Po did look slightly inferior to Bai Qi, at least Lian Po did not let the comprehensive rout that Zhao Dan feared the most appear on the Changping battlefield.

Zhao Dan closed the bamboo slip and thought silently in his heart: "Now, it's up to Xinlingjun." ”

In view of the fact that Yecheng, where the Wei army was stationed, was only a day's distance from Handan, so Wei Wuji's seizure of power and killing Jin Contempt, Zhao Dan of course quickly learned about it from Zhao Sheng, who returned to Handan.

Zhao Dan didn't have much surprise about this, after all, this was something that happened in history.

Lin Xiangru's death actually reminded Zhao Dan to a certain extent, that is, although Zhao Dan's crossing led to the change of the entire history, Zhao Dan's crossing could not change everyone, nor could it change everything.

So Lin Xiangru should die or have to die, so Hou Sheng is still so greedy for money, so the matter of Lu Buwei supporting Zhao Yiren is still in steady progress, so although the matter of Xinling Jun saving Zhao has twists and turns, it still happened in the end.

According to Zhao Sheng's statement and the information obtained by Zhao State, after seizing military power, Wei Wuji had already led 100,000 Wei troops to rush south, directly attacking Yewang City, which was guarded by Qin general Sima Terrier and 50,000 elite Qin troops.

And this battle between Wei Wuji and Sima Terrier is what Zhao Dan has been looking forward to, Zhao Guo will truly reverse the victory and defeat of Qiankun in this battle of Changping!

Placing the fate of the whole country in the hands of a foreigner may sound rather unreliable.

But as a traverser, Zhao Dan does have absolute confidence in Xinling Jun Wei Wuji!

"Xinling-kun, don't let the widow down..."
