The arrogant Wei Mu hit the left-handed axe and flew one after another to rescue Mu Chen and Bai Ying, the right-hand axe has not yet been issued, Zhao Kuo seized the opportunity, his body jumped up, and a sword attacked, the Lieyang Sword emitted a golden light, which was very good-looking, and the whole person was stunned when he repelled the attack of the two, and seemed to be attracted by the strong light, but in fact, he struggled to send out the flying axe, and fought with the three of them repeatedly, and Wei Mou did not mention that the sword light had arrived, and Wei Mou's body fell, and everyone on the warship shouted in unison, and the remaining horse thieves had no intention of fighting, The retreat was blocked, so he had to find an opportunity to rush upward.

Qi State Fortress

The smile on the guard's face slowly condensed, as the figure fell off the horse, Wei Mu died, the revenge has been avenged, the dead soul can finally smile Jiuquan, the heart knot that has been suppressed is also opened, the shouts are bursting out, the black-clothed swordsman is amazing, if he is Zhao and Qi start a battle in the future, I can't help but be secretly worried if anyone can stop this team with amazing combat power in an orderly manner.

The remaining horse thieves only more than 100 people fled to a canyon, Zhao Kuo did not chase, killed Wei Mou, the revenge of the day has been avenged, it is better to return to Handan as soon as possible, gather the team and rush to the shore.

"Hurry back to Handan!"

Everyone boarded the boat one after another, Zhao Kuo jumped up, the big ship opened, the oars hit the water and made a sound, the warship gradually moved away, and the guard said in a low voice: "It's a death valley, take a team of men and horses to kill all the horse thieves, remember not to leave a single alive!" ”

"General rest assured."

The fortress opened a group of cavalry and headed straight for the canyon, the shouts of killing slowly disappeared, and the border returned to calm.

Zhao Kuo stood at the bow of the ship, holding a piece of dry food in his hand, food is very important, the scientific and technological strength of the Warring States Period was limited, and there were only three things that affected the strength of various countries, food, population and king.

Sufficient food, enough population to raise troops, plus the appointment of virtuous kings will inevitably achieve a hegemony, this is the case of Qi, Chu, and Wei in the past, the reason why the Qin State can be strong is that it uses the Shang Dynasty to rejuvenate agriculture and support the people, coupled with the strict legal system, and the people of all countries have entered the Qin State for this reason.

Tian Dan stepped forward, "Is General Zhao worried about the matter of food?" ”

Zhao Kuo turned around, "If you can't borrow food, it will inevitably affect the situation of the war, and this battle will decide the fate of Zhao State!" ”

Tian Dan sighed and said: "On that day, Tian Dan strongly advocated raising troops to fight Qin in accordance with the covenant, how could it be that the King of Qi was already dissatisfied with Tian Dan, and he was even more afraid that the Qin State would not accept it, and even Qian Feng and his ilk secretly made trouble, and they ended up in such a field, and they were ashamed to think about it!" ”

"Lord Xiangguo is so wonderful to break Yan Fuqi, it's only to blame that the King of Qi has no tolerance!"

"Leaving today is like being reborn, thanks to the general's merits, Tian Dan will inevitably follow the general!"

Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "It is too condescending to be inferior to others with the talent of an adult, and the king will definitely be rewarded after he arrives in Handan!" ”

"Tian Dan only wants to have a stable place with his people, and he doesn't dare to ask for too much."

Tian Dan has experienced changes, from the appearance of a country to the prisoner of the steps, and almost lost his life, but now he has already seen through it, and he just wants to be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.

The warship took advantage of the wind speed is extremely fast, the vast water area is gradually moving away, see the opposite shore from a distance, a large car docked on the shore, this trip saved the Tiandan pedestrian is also a harvest, the Tiandan people bring not a few grain and grass, the warship stopped, everyone jumped down to load the grain and grass on the cart, the warship slowly sailed to the water camp.

It is getting closer and closer to the city, everyone is in a good mood and talking and laughing, even the Tiandan people have a smile on their faces, and they can't help but feel a little melancholy when they leave their homeland, but fortunately, they can save their lives, as long as they follow the patriarch, they will definitely be able to live a good life again.

A gust of wind blew, the white silk ribbon fluttered in the wind, Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning in his eyes, this kind of white silk is very familiar, when his father Zhao Hao passed away, King Zhao thanked Zhao Hao for his contributions, Handan City hung white silk is already the biggest gift, and now the border camp is also hanging white silk, it is not that someone in the army has passed away, and the official position must not be low, Tian Dan looked at it and said: "The gift of the princes, this is!" ”

"The courtesy of the princes?"

Tian Dan nodded, "As a soldier who died on the battlefield, the white silk shroud is the highest honor, in order to remember the soldiers, you can wear white silk, this is the general's gift, and now the banner of Zhao is also covered by white silk, and the person who left should be a royal family in Zhao State, and his status is not low!" ”

"The royal family, it must be!"

Zhao Kuo's mind appeared in his mind before leaving, the tiredness in the eyes of King Zhao Huiwen before leaving, the eye sockets were sunken inward, the darkness of the Yin Hall lost its due light, as a doctor, he knew very well that King Zhao's health was bound to be poor, and he hurriedly urged him to step forward, the guards wore white silk with a sad face, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, "General Zhao!" ”

"What's going on?"

With tears in the soldier's eyes, "The king is back to heaven!" ”

"King, he..." Zhao Kuo heard that it was like five thunderbolts, and he didn't want to be guessed by himself, and King Zhao Huiwen died of illness in the thirty-third year of his reign, announcing that a new era was about to begin, and the crown prince Zhao Dan succeeded to the throne with the support of the Queen Mother and others.

Zhao Huiwen Wang is meritocratic, and the employment of people is not based on the transfer of people's origins, Lin Xiangru was originally a Zhao eunuch Ling (Miao Xian's disciple, with a humble status, even Lian Po, who later became an official in the same hall with him, despised him as a "plain slut", and "can't bear to be under it". When he learned from Miao Xian's introduction that Lin Xiangru was a "warrior" and "resourceful", he immediately summoned him, and after an interview, he confirmed Miao Xian's evaluation, and was sure that Lin Xiangru was brave and strategic, and could live up to his mission, so he immediately entrusted him with a heavy task, "sending Xiangru to the west into Qin". In the end, Lin Xiangru was named "Shangqing" (the highest official rank during the Warring States Period). In the same way, reuse Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao was originally an ordinary official who collected field taxes, because of the selflessness of the duke, heroic and good at fighting, King Zhao Huiwen named Zhao Hao as the king of horses, the official captain of the country, so heavy use of talented people, Zhao Guo is proud and prosperous, compared to Qi, Wei, Han The big and small matters are all controlled by the family, and the power of the family can almost control the royal family.

King Huiwen reused his talents, the interests of the Zhao family were greatly affected, King Huiwen returned to heaven, and the family took the opportunity to rise, together with the Empress Zhao to support the new king, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill, Lian Po was still in the party and fought with the Qin army, and Handan City was all taken over by the family.

Zhao Kuo was shocked to hear the bad news, and respected the virtuous lord King Huiwen, and led the convoy to Handan day and night, not mentioning it for the time being.

The single table of the Handan family, now finally raised their eyebrows, Zhao Wangdan's ears are soft, plus the Empress Dowager Zhao is circling from it, most of the clans are divided into land official positions, the wind of the clan in Handan City is gradually rising, and some clans are secretly pulling people to expand their strength, a figure approaching, dressed in white, wearing white silk, followed by a group of maids, quickly entering the hall, Zhao Wangdan raised his head, "Sister Wang!" ”

The person who came was Zhao Ya, Zhao Kuo had to be trained and restrained a lot that day, the saddest person who died of King Huiwen was none other than Zhao Ya, thinking of the person who loved him the most in this life, Zhao Ya would rather lose a qiē, just hope to be able to accompany her father, Ya'er has really grown up, and she is no longer the Zhao Ya who only knows how to lose her temper and is ignorant.

On the top of the main hall, all the families were there, and the banquet was placed, Zhao Ya's expression was cold and angry, and everyone hurriedly left, Zhao Ya snorted coldly, "Brother Wang is so elegant, my father will hold a banquet here to celebrate just after the mourning period, aren't you afraid of cold hearts?" ”

Zhao Wangdan said with a smile: "Brother Wang is also sad when his father leaves, but Zhao Guo's big and small affairs need to be dealt with, if there are no capable people around to help, how can it be done, this time everyone is invited to come to discuss state affairs, not to drink for fun!" ”

Zhao Ya said: "Brother Wang can't refute what Ya'er said, I just hope that Brother Wang will not forget his father's deathbed entrustment, and employ people to be virtuous and not nepotism!" Otherwise, it will be difficult for the father to look down under the nine springs. ”

"Presumptuous!"

A middle-aged beautiful woman walked in outside the door, with a dignified expression and noble clothes, and the two hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the queen mother!" ”

The person who came was the Empress Dowager Zhao, the biological mother of the two, Zhao Kuo entered the palace for the first time that day and inadvertently broke into the place where this woman bathed, the posture is no longer under Zhao Ya, and now it is a little more mature style, King Huiwen is extremely favored, and some matters have to be discussed with the queen.

"Mother, Ya'er!"

Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand, "Ya'er doesn't care how your father spoils you, remember, Dan'er is now the king of Zhao Kingdom, the heaven of Zhao Kingdom, how can you ask such questions!" ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Queen Mother, Ya'er is also unintentional, forget it!" ”

Zhao Ya said: "Ya'er is not questioning Brother Wang, but she just doesn't want to make a mistake because of the wind of the world. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao snorted coldly, "Now that the first king has gone, if you don't rely on the clan to ask how to check and balance those old ministers, one is just a cheap one, plus Lin Xiangru, do you really have to wait until you bully our orphans and widows to think about it!" ”
