Chapter 12: A Glimpse of the Heartless (Part I)

The city wall of Maiqiu was renovated, the people were rejoiced in getting food, Zhao Haojun was strict in discipline, and he was deeply loved by the people of Maiqiu without committing any crime in autumn, and the people of Qi or Zhao were not good, the people wanted to live a stable life with a full meal, and the people who were unjustly imprisoned during the Qin Yu period were released from the prison, and originally thought that this life could only be spent in the dark, and the family was very happy to see each other, and everyone was indignant when it came to the evil things that Qin Yu did, and now Maiqiu has regained its vitality, and everyone cherishes it more.

Zhao Hao inspected the city defense, the new guard Zhao Yun followed behind, Zhao Hao nodded again and again, he was very satisfied with the defense, the stones, fire oil, and arrows necessary for defending the city were replenished, and the training ground shouted and killed, and a team of soldiers rushed forward to kill, these are newly recruited soldiers, and the people who came out of the prison have joined the Zhao army lineup, and the battle of Maiqiu finally made it clear to everyone that only by himself can he keep his family and the good life in front of him.

"I've grown a lot in the past few years, if it weren't for Kuo'er to see your ability, wouldn't it be a pity to be a small head of a hundred households in my barracks." Zhao Hao praised again and again, and his words revealed his appreciation for the general Zhao Yun.

"It is already the greatest honor to be able to follow the general."

Zhao Hao nodded, "Today, the army will return to Handan, and I will hand it over to you here, farming is imminent, and the Qi State is now under the siege of the Yan State, and it will definitely not be able to attack, but there must be no carelessness either." ”

"Zhao Yun obeys the general's orders."

"Okay, you can go back with peace of mind."

Leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Maiqiu, with the booty seized from Qin Yu's camp tent, full of ten cars, I don't know where Qin Yu came from, the army set off, Maiqiu guarded Zhao Yun with tears to say goodbye for the time being, just say that the army of Zhao won the battle and rushed back to Handan, Maiqiu was victorious, Zhao Hao sent messengers to send the news back to Handan as soon as possible, and the people along the way poured into the streets to take out food to entertain the soldiers.

There was nothing to say all the way, Zhao Kuo looked around on the horse, after all, all the Yiqiē were so strange, and they didn't have any impression of Handan City, Qin Wan always carried a long sword on her waist, followed by a group of ink people, straw sandals, short clothes, and long swords, one by one expressionless followed behind, as if she had become Zhao Kuo's slave.

Zhao Hao saw in his eyes and was happy, this is the inheritance of my ability, if you can't be with the soldiers, try to ask who on the battlefield will work for you, as a commander not only to know how to fight, but also to learn how to buy people's hearts, not deliberately, but a kind of virtue of the expression.

Zhao Hao urged him to step forward immediately, "Kuo'er, the front is Handan City, this time I entered the palace to meet the king, remember not to be presumptuous, although the clan relatives have made contributions this time, we must remember that there is a difference between the monarch and the minister." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "The child remembers." I muttered secretly in my heart, could it be that Zhao Kuo liked to mess around in the past. Think about it, look at what you look like now, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, I don't want to be so young all of a sudden after crossing over, but I have a feeling of re-youth, and I don't have to worry about learning anymore, and I don't have to worry about cumbersome nouns and terms.

Entering the medical school of a well-known university, the beautiful vision of the university on weekdays collapsed instantly, and the romantic, relaxed, and happy were completely replaced by endless books. No matter how timid you are, even a woman as thin as Daiyu can't escape the fate of being in the company of corpses all day long, and sometimes she can't wait to kiss the body of a toad that has been cut open, after all, it is this strange creature and those corpse fragments that I have been exposed to the most in my four years of college.

The team approached, saw the tall city wall from a distance, completely made of huge stones, and couldn't help but admire the building technology of the ancients, no big tools, no modern cutting equipment, a single pair of hands can build such a majestic building, the wisdom and diligence of the ancients are indeed not comparable to the people now.

In front of the city gate, a lot of people gathered to watch, crossed their feet, some of them carried things on their backs, some simply leaned on the root of the wall, on both sides of the city gate were lined up of soldiers, the armor was bright, holding spears, the people could only stand from a distance to watch, I don't want to like this kind of pomp at this time, there was a person standing in the middle, wearing a flat crown, wearing a blue and yellow robe, with wide sleeves, a person on the left with a fair complexion, a middle-aged general on the right, a sword on his waist, the person in the middle should be King Zhao, also known as King Huiwen, the second son of King Wuling of Zhao. His mother is the queen Wu Wa, who is deeply favored by King Zhao Wuling. Zhao He is the second son of King Zhao Wuling, not the eldest son. King Wuling of Zhao's eldest son was his son Zhao Zhang. Because Gongzi Zhang's mother and the right Xiao Si Kou Tian were rude, he was imprisoned in the cold palace by King Zhao Wuling, and Prince Zhang was also abolished.

Zhao Hao got off the horse, Zhao Kuo followed, and the father and son walked a few steps quickly to the front and bowed, "Minister Zhao Hao greets the king!" ”

"Zhao Kuo greets the king!" Zhao Kuo has no official position, so he can only perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and cannot be commensurate with a minister.

King Zhao laughed, bent over and helped Zhao Hao up, "Aiqing won the attack on Maiqiu Banner this time, and this king is very relieved. ”

Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "All of them rely on the divine power of the king. ”

King Zhao's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo, "I don't want Kuo'er to be so old, we are all getting old!" Get up quickly and follow me into the palace. ”

Zhao Kuo stood up from the ground, and finally saw this person with the highest position in the same sect as himself up close, as the king of Zhao, the supreme ruler of Zhao, although it cannot be compared with the Yellow Emperor, after all, it is already a prominent position, and the Zhao family will not regain power until the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe has taken away the world of orphans and widows, after all, it has nothing to do with him.

King Zhao's figure is not burly, but there is a majesty between his eyebrows, Zhao Hao followed closely behind him, and came to the two of them to salute, "General Lian, Lin Shangqing." ”

Zhao Kuo's figure stopped, these two must be the world-famous generals Lian Po, and the other one should be Lin Xiangru mentioned in the book, Lin Xiangru's wit and courage Even King Qin is also helpless.

Lin Xiangru talked and laughed, "General Zhao has worked hard all the way, please." ”

Lian Po snorted coldly and did not speak, as a general, most of them can't look at the prestige of others, and Lian Po's status in Zhao is even higher than Zhao Luxury, and he led troops to attack the capital of Qi that day, but a small Maiqiu can't see it at all.

Everyone entered the capital, passed a stone staircase, and finally saw the palace of King Zhao, although it is not luxurious, it is already magnificent enough in this era, the three-story palace inside and outside, enter from the gate and go forward, go up the high stone steps to enter the main hall, "Kuo'er, wander around, for the father to discuss matters with the king, remember not to mess around." ”

King Zhao smiled, "It's okay, young people should take a look at it more and have a long insight." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Kuo'er obeys." ”

Zhao Kuo went down the stone steps, the scale of the Zhao Wang's palace was extraordinary, the ground was paved with stones, it was very smooth, some places were carefully polished, and the palace people who came and went kept at their feet, some people recognized Zhao Kuo, and bent down to say hello, after all, the status of the Zhao clan was not low, Zhao Kuo nodded again and again.

Bored, I have been following the stone road backwards, suddenly heard the woman's frolicking sound, suddenly became interested, tiptoe over gently, poked out my head, only to see a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girls holding a vessel in their hands, kept walking among the flowers, encountered the red petals and gently picked them off and put them in the utensils, and there was even more talk and laughter on their mouths.

One said: "I heard that after soaking in this kind of thing, the body is not only white and tender, but also leaves a residual fragrance." ”

Another said, "How do you know? ”

"That's not simple, look at the queen, the prince is an adult, and his body is still like a girl, it's really enviable."

"That's the favor of the king, and I heard that a woman will become more beautiful when she gets the favor."

"Most of you little prodigal hooves are moved, do you want my sister to talk to the queen and find you a man too."

"Sister, make fun of us again."

"Go back when you're done, the queen will have to wait in a hurry."

A few Yahuan came out of it with utensils, Zhao Kuo had already heard the blood spurting, and the lower body was even more impatient to prop up a yurt, if it was seen wouldn't it be a joke, and there was nowhere to dodge, just saw a path and had to get into it quickly, I didn't want Yahuan to come to the same path, I relied on, I couldn't hide, I had no choice but to continue to move forward, a burst of flower fragrance wafted out, it should come through the gap in the stone fence, I didn't care too much, just a door was half open and half hidden, and slipped in directly.
