Chapter XII Report

With the repeated visits of the Zhao envoy Ge De, another form of alliance between the four countries gradually had a clear plan. When the Chu Dynasty never attacked Wei, but instead spread to Handan according to the request of Wei that Cai Wen, the Yin of Xiacai County, became the prime minister of Wei, reached Handan, Ge De, who had returned from Linzi to Zhao, finally arrived at Jize, more than 20 miles east of Handan.

The water of the water flowed out of Busan, flowed southwest of Handan through Jize and merged into the Yellow River tributary. When the boat team turned from the tributary to the water of the water, the Qin army repelled cavalry and watched from the other side of the tributary. At this time, a flag was flying at the water of the water of the water. King Zhao Qian, accompanied by Linghui, used the Lu Li Mirror to look at the boat team closer and closer. Many ministers and temple people stood on both sides of him, and the Grand Tutor Guo Kai was also here. A fly suddenly flew on his face, making him beat him, and he was not beaten or beaten.

"My mother, haven't the child found Xinpingjun?" Zhao Qianjiaoying was certainly not to welcome Ge De, but to welcome Lian Po.

After Ge De asked Lian Po to return to Zhao, the Chu minister, who was vaguely exaggerated in his heart, did not object to this. After some discussion, he finally transferred the northern city of Daliang to the jurisdiction of Xiang Yan. Both Chu and Qi hoped that Lian Po would return to Zhao, but the premise for returning to Zhao was that Lian Po obtained half of Zhao's military power and was ranked as the general with Li Mu. The two countries believed that with Lian Po, Zhao would only fight to the death with Qin to the end and would never bribe Qin.

Chu Qi's hope is here, and Zhao State hopes to obtain rescue from Chu Qi and Qi, and send troops the best, and then the second is the grain. In addition to the lack of promises in sending troops, the grain has been reached. First, the city transaction between Qi and Zhao was sold to Qi for one million stones of millet. Rao An, Rao An, was taken from Qi when Pang Nuan was the general of Zhao eight years ago, and could only be returned. In addition to one million stones of millet, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei sold 20 million stones of millet to Zhao State at a low price of twenty coins per stone.

The news came to Handan before Ge De, and the whole country of Zhao was immediately full of 20 million stones of millet. It was not only a huge amount, but was sold at a low price of 20 yuan during the war, which already indicated the determination of the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei to save Zhao, and the nations were about to merge.

Zhao State fought hard for more than a year, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and common people were killed or injured. The envoys who went south to seek help remained unceasing, and a year later finally responded. With such excitement and excitement, Zhao State's ruler and minister stood in the suburbs of the dock to welcome Lian Po.

"Father, the child has seen the flag of the king." In the warship room, Lian Yu whispered in Lian Po's ear. Lian Po, who was timid in his hometown and had no energy, had no effect, and had been dozing off, kept sitting from the boat team to the shui River, quietly looking at a corner that no one could see. Twelve years later, he still came back.

"I have seen the king, the queen mother, and the prime minister." Lian Po, who was white-bearded and dressed in leather armor, bowed to Zhao Qian and others in high spirits.

"I learned that Lian Qing returned to Zhao, I was looking forward to each other day and night..." Zhao Qian smiled, but his welcome speech had just begun and forgot what was behind. He had to look at Guo Kai. Guo Kai knew that Zhao Qian had forgotten the words and looked at him, but he did not dare to remind him.

Of course, the empress dowager was good at dancing with her sleeves. She was wearing a dress and had the charm of being a mother in the world for several years. She came forward with wine and said, "The old woman has heard of Lian Qing's reputation since she was a child. Today, she returned to Zhao. Zhao people were happy and Qin people were afraid. I asked Lian Qing to drink this title."

The dress was white, and the spiritual sleeves after makeup were as dignified as fairy. Lian Po did not dare to look closely, nor did he refuse the wine she gave, and respectfully took it over and drank it all. All the ministers knew that the low-priced corn from the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi, Wei and Wei were brought back by Lian Po. Seeing this, they flattered: "Xinpingjun is not old..., Xinpingjun goes to war, and the Qin people will be defeated..., I, Zhao State, have Xinpingjun, so why worry that the Qin people will not retreat..."

Twelve years ago, Lian Po ate a dou of rice and ten kilograms of meat in front of the envoy and said that he was not old and could fight. Twelve years later, he was really old. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard the praises of these ministers. After drinking the first lord, he glared at Guo Kai unconsciously. It was Guo Kai who sent someone to his slander that King Zhao did not call him back to Zhao.

"Do Guo Qing think he is quite old?" Lian Po was straightforward and said with a glaring look.

Guo Kai knew that Lian Po resented him, but he didn't expect that he would ask himself in front of the king, the queen mother and the ministers. He blushed and smiled, "How can Xinpingjun say that he is old? Even if Xinpingjun is old, he will be my good general Zhao."

"Hmph!" There were so many flatterers that everyone was not as comfortable as Guo Kai's words. Lian Po smiled proudly, but after laughing, he cursed: "Little Man!"

The audience was shocked. Guo Kai was the Grand Tutor. In front of the king and the queen mother, only Lian Po had the courage to scold the Grand Tutor. In the embarrassing moment, Zhao Liang beat him up and said seriously: "Xinping Jun is my Great Wall of Zhao. Those who slander Xinping Jun in the past will be killed. Come! Present the head of the messenger..."

When Lian Po returned to Zhao, Zhao Liang was prepared. First, he completely rebuilt Lian Po's mansion, and then killed the envoy who deliberately slandered Lian Po to relieve his resentment. Lian Po got angry as soon as he got off the ship, and he happened to offer the envoy's head.

"No need." Lian Po waved his hand. "I returned to Zhao, not to take revenge, but to the Great Zhao. Please ask the King, and the Prime Minister to quickly worship the general and give him the axe and the military talisman."

"I..." Zhao Qian could not handle government affairs at all. He said that he had to look at his mother and Guo Kai. Linghui looked at Zhao Liang of Xiangbang and said, "What Lian Qing said is very much. The king has ordered Xiangbang to build a platform and he can pay homage to the general at a date."

"Yes." Zhao Liang also said. "The high platform has been built, just waiting for the auspicious period..."

"The Qin army is very anxious to attack the city. I will not wait for Ji Qi. Please ask the prime minister to give him a general to give him a military talisman today." Lian Po had already learned a lot of war situation from Ge De on the way. After Hu Ju's death, Sima Shang served as his stationed in the South Great Wall. The Qin army attacked the city frantically day and night. At this moment, he wanted to go to the South Great Wall to take over military power, but he did not have military talismans or axes.

Today, he was about to have military power. Even Linghui frowned slightly, and the ministers were even more surprised. Zhao Liang smiled and said loudly: "Xinping is worried that the country's affairs have come to this point, Liang is ashamed. So as you say, I will pay homage to the general today."

"Thank you, Xie Xiangbang." Lian Po finally smiled on his face, and he was also very satisfied with Zhao Liang. After all, Zhao Liang was the crown prince appointed by King Xiang first, and he had the decisiveness and courage that the previous generation of Zhao people were used to.

He entered the city, sacrificed his sacrifice to the sky, told his ancestors, worshiped generals, and gave him axes and soldiers. From now on, Lian Po took over the command of the 200,000 Zhao army on the southern front, but the black-clothed kings and 30,000 Zhao Cong were not under his control.

He hurried into Handan and hurried out of the city south. When Zhao Liang saw this, he wanted to whistle to show his excitement in his heart. However, when he returned home and listened to Ge De's report carefully, he could not whistle out.

"If you need to support for a year, the Qin army will withdraw next year?" What you most hope is to send troops to rescue them, but neither Chu nor Qi could determine the date of the troops, especially Qi, where the majority of the Yi Dukes opposed to sending troops.

"Yes." Ge Dedao: "The King of Chu still complained about the past..."

Of course, Zhao Liang knew what he meant back then. He didn't believe that the Chu people decided not to send troops, so the King of Chu would naturally remember it in his heart. But so what? If Zhao State was destroyed, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei alone could not stop Qin State.

"No need to mention the events of that year." Zhao Liang interrupted: "Will the King of Chu send troops?"

"The King of Chu said that the major affairs of Chu State are determined by the King of Chu State but by the Zheng Dynasty. The Yingdu Dynasty believed that the Chu State had too little grain accumulation. If Zhao State was saved, Qin State would attack Chu, no one would save him. If there was no grain accumulation in the old country for four years, they would never send troops to rescue Zhao." Ge Dedao.

"Four years of accumulation of millet? When will it take to wait?" Zhao Liang asked anxiously. If you accumulate millet for three years, do you have to send troops after four years?

"Report to the king, the King of Chu said that this will take seven years." Ge Dedao. "However, the King of Chu and the General Xiang Yan of Chu thought it would not be possible to wait for seven years, so he tried to convince the ministers."

"Hey!" In the seventh year, the Zhao State had already perished in the seventh year. Zhao Liang stopped sitting there in an anxious state, but instead sat up.

"The King of Chu said that Zhao State should not bribe Qin." Ge De wanted to report all his words, and whether Zhao Liang wanted to listen to him or not. "If Zhao State cedes land and bribe Qin, he would be the enemy of the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei."

"What else does the King of Chu have to say? Let's talk about it together." Zhao Liang was anxious and could only hold back his mind. Chu was the only hope.

"The King of Chu said that the Qin army attacked every three years, and the soldiers were exhausted and no longer interested in fighting, so the Qin State would withdraw its troops next year. The Chu State's Jujia and weapons were lost to Zhao, but only the two generals Xinpingjun and Wu'an Hou would not give the rest. If the corn was not bought by Zhao State, it would also lose to the two generals, and the rest would not give the rest. If the two generals were exempted, the weapons, and the millet would not lose to Zhao."

"What does this mean?" Although it was support, Zhao Liang could hear other meanings.

"I don't know." Ge Dedao. "The King of Chu said that he only believed these two generals in Zhao State, but the rest did not believe it. He was most afraid of the giant armor. The weapons fell into the hands of the Qin army, which was the most unfavorable to the Chu State."

The soldiers and corn were only given to Lian Po and Li Mu. The two had soldiers, armor and grain. Zhao Liang's hearts were always sinking. If the Chu State had not captured Linzi and did not destroy Qi, he would have almost thought that Chu State had other plans. He was at peace in his heart, and Zhao Liang remembered another question: "What is corn that Zhao State bought from gold?"

"Twenty million stones of millet, even as low as twenty cents, it is more than 40,000 gold." Ge Dedao. "Is there any money in the lord's court?"

Zhao Liang was about to say that Yanmen County might sometimes, he took the lead: "The sea boat in Chu State has already connected to India and Persia. The world is east of Zhongzhou, India is south of Zhongzhou, and Persia is west of Zhongzhou. Hu merchants sell silk from the world to the frontier, and they sell it to India, Persia and other countries. There are very few Hu merchants, and a piece of silk can have fifty times or a hundred times the profit. However, the sea boat in Chu State is open, and the cost of thousands of miles is only a hundred miles apart..."

"You mean, if you don't want to break up for a few years, the Hu merchants in Zhao will be cut off?" Zhao Liang rushed up after hearing this. Hu merchants are a major investment in Zhao. If Hu merchants do not sell silk, wouldn't Zhao merchants have to make a big cut in Zhao's annual income?

"That's right." Ge De also had a worried look on his face. He thought that the trade in sea boats had nothing to do with Zhao State, but when Xiong Jing said that everyone's silk was sold to the same place, he was stunned on the spot. "The King of Chu also said that the Chu State must sell silk at a low price, so that Qin State could not use silk to the Rong people and Di people to exchange horses."
