Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Jihou got on his horse and turned around to take one last look at Zhao Kuo's convoy.

"Wu Xinjun, everything is not over yet!"

Chapter 217 Han Xuwei was stunned by anger

The capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.

Zhao Guotai Master Han Xuwei sat in the carriage happily and returned to the diplomatic post in South Korea.

Just now, Han Xuwei signed an alliance agreement with the King of Han in Xinzheng Palace City as Zhao Guo's envoy.

According to the stipulations of this agreement, South Korea formally respected Zhao Guo as the leader of the alliance. Not only would it pay tribute to Zhao Guo every year, but it would unconditionally respond to Zhao Guo's call and join the war.

This result is not surprising to Han Xuwei. After all, Han Xuwei was born in South Korea and has been a minister in South Korea for 20 years.

But Han Xuwei was still very happy, because he successfully completed the task and met the conditions required by the Queen Mother Zhao before his mission.

In this competition among many important ministers, Han Xuwei is destined to become one of the people with the best grades!Han Xuwei stroked his already white beard, and smiled proudly: "Hmph, Mr. Pingyuan, Zhao Kuo, Lin Xiangru, you guys, this time you can't compare to this old man!"

The confidant beside Han Xuwei hurriedly said: "The lord Junxiong is a general, and he is the minister of the humerus of the Great Zhao. How can it be comparable to Zhao Kuo and others?"

Han Xuwei laughed loudly, his slack cheeks kept trembling, and it took a long time before he stopped laughing.

This feeling of stepping on many political enemies, especially Zhao Kuo, is really good!Han Xuwei asked: "Is there any new news from Chu State?"

When speaking, Han Xuwei even had a bit of expectation in his tone.

Zhao Kuo's humiliation to Han Xuwei at the celebration banquet for his victory in Hedong made Han Xuwei a direct laughing stock in Zhao's political arena, which was a great shame to Han Xuwei!Two days ago, Han Xuwei had just received the news that Zhao Kuo had been assassinated and was surrounded by the Chu army in Yangxia City.

Han Xuwei laughed out loud at the time, and spent the past two days in joy.

If Zhao Kuo really died in Yangxia City, Han Xuwei would definitely be one of the happiest people.

The confidant shook his head and said, "My lord, we still lack communication with the state of Chu. We will have to wait for the news from Handan to find out."

Han Xuwei sighed with some regret, and said: "Forget it, anyway, I will leave for Handan tomorrow, and I will know sooner or later."

The confidant smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, even if Zhao Kuo can really escape with his general talent, after this incident, Zhao Kuo's envoy to Chu to form an alliance will definitely fail.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the lord returned to Handan either saw Zhao Kuo's body or Zhao Kuo's failure? "

Han Xuwei was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, what you said is very good!"

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes, and then a steward of Han Xuwei's Handan Mansion rode his horse, and when he saw Han Xuwei, he rolled his saddle and fell off the horse.

"My lord, the urgent report from Handan is related to Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's envoy to the state of Chu!"

Han Xu was refreshed, and immediately snatched the urgent report from the steward, and eagerly opened it and read it.

When Han Xuwei first started reading, there was still a smile on his face, but the smile gradually disappeared as he watched it, and he was even more stunned after reading it.

After a while, Han Xuwei, whose face was completely ashen, suddenly roared: "This is impossible!"

Han Xuwei grabbed the neckline of the messenger officer in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Say, are you deliberately fabricating information to deceive the old man!"

The steward suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "Return to the lord, this is all written by the eldest son himself, so the younger one sent it directly. The younger one really didn't make any fabrications!"

Han Xuwei's hand suddenly loosened, his face turned pale.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, it just truthfully writes about Zhao Kuo's blood alliance with the king of Chu in the state of Chu.

But this was a big enough blow to Han Xuwei.

Han Xuwei knew very well that being an envoy to Chu State was the most difficult task for Zhao Kuo, and then Zhao Kuo was assassinated in Yangxia City, and was surrounded by the Chu army in Yangxia City.

If it were someone else, it would be a big question mark whether he could get out of Chu State alive, but Zhao Kuo not only walked out of Chu State safe and sound, but even completed the task very satisfactorily.

This is nothing short of a miracle!If something like a miracle happened to Han Xuwei, it would be extremely happy, but if it happened to a mortal enemy like Zhao Kuo, it would be a double blow to Han Xuwei!Originally thought that Zhao Kuo was struggling in the [-]th hell, but after a long time of trouble, he was actually drinking and having fun in the highest place of heaven.

Han Xu gasped for breath, his body trembled uncontrollably, this trembling soon turned into obvious shaking, and even the scene in front of him began to spin a bit.

After a few seconds, Han Xuwei finally couldn't hold it any longer, and sat down on the ground with a bang, causing chaos immediately.

After a long time, Han Xuwei finally came back to his senses and stammered a word.

"Jane, it's just so angry, so angry, this old man!"

After saying this, Han Xuwei rolled his eyes and passed out neatly.

This made the scene even more chaotic.

"Quick, find a doctor!"

The capital of Yan State, Jicheng.

Among the capitals of the vassal states, the farthest from Handan is Xianyang City, and the second farthest is Jicheng.

Therefore, when both Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei had completed their tasks, Lin Xiangru, who was in charge of the envoy to Yan, had just seen the outline of Jicheng.

Looking at the city, Lin Xiangru let out a long breath and said, "I hope this mission will go smoothly."

Beside Lin Xiangru, a polite gentleman said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, Yan Guo and Da Zhao have always been allies. I think this time it should be easy."

Lin Xiangru did not immediately agree with this sentence, but was silent for a while, and sighed: "Although this is the case, there are always accidents in the world, just like that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, it is really amazing for the old man to win unexpected victories every time." Amazing."

The scholar froze for a moment, and said, "My lord, Zhao Kuo is our enemy."

Lin Xiangru smiled and said: "The enemy is indeed an enemy, but Lord Wu Xin is also a minister of the great Zhao's humerus. When the outside world, the old man and he are fighting for the benefit of the great Zhao. What's the harm in praising him?"

The scholar shook his head and said: "Although what the lord said is right, I still have a different opinion.

For example, this time, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to succeed in Chu State anyway! "

Lin Xiangru blinked and said, "Is it because of the news that Zhao Kuo was attacked in Yangxia City?"

The scholar smiled and said, "Exactly."

Lin Xiangru laughed loudly: "You are really cunning! But speaking of it, Lord Wu Xin is indeed in big trouble this time!"

The laughter of the two masters spread far in the wind, but they didn't notice that two or three miles behind them, a messenger from the Lin Mansion from Handan was coming in a hurry.

Chapter 218 Zhao Kuo Going Home

Just as they were about to reach the gate of Jidu, a sudden call came from afar: "My lord, my lord!"

Even in the sound of rolling wheels, Lin Xiangru still clearly caught the sound, and turned around to see his old subordinate retainer who was galloping towards him.

"Stop first."

Lin Xiangru ordered people to stop the carriage.

After a while, Lin Xiangru was silent for a while, looking at the urgent message from Handan in front of him, and heaved a long sigh with a bit of melancholy and helplessness.

"This Wu Xinjun, the old man sometimes wonders if he is favored by the heavens."

How bad Zhao Kuo's situation is can be seen clearly by an individual, and Lin Xiangru is naturally more insightful.

But just like this, Zhao Kuo took down the world. Is there anything Zhao Kuo can't do?

On the side, the retainer who had just asserted that Zhao Kuo was bound to fail had turned pale.

After a long time, Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said slowly: "Okay, let's not care about Wu Xinjun's affairs, let's do my own affairs first and then talk about it."

Lin Xiangru's carriage started to rattle again, but this time, the people on the carriage were obviously less relaxed and more heavy.

On the sixth day after leaving Chencheng, Zhao Kuo finally returned to Handan City.

If it is an ordinary envoy, after returning from the envoy, he must go to the Daxing official residence to give orders before returning home, but Zhao Kuo's status is here, so he decisively chose to go home first.

The main gate of Zhao Mansion was opened wide again, welcoming Zhao Kuo's return.

Zhao Kuo got out of the carriage and bowed respectfully to Zhao's mother: "Mother, my son is back."

Zhao's mother's temples had already started to turn gray, and she couldn't help expressing emotion when she looked at Zhao Kuo: "Son, you don't know that after hearing the news from Yangxia City, mother, it's all over, and in the future you will Take good care of yourself, understand?"

Zhao Kuo responded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the Yangxia City this time was actually an accident, and my son will never put himself in danger in the future."

After talking with his mother, Zhao Kuo focused his attention on Tian Wan and Qiu'er, as well as Zhao Kuo's children in their arms.

The beautiful faces of the two women who belonged to Zhao Kuo were full of surprise after worrying, while the faces of the children were full of joy of saying goodbye to their father.

The smile on Zhao Kuo's face suddenly became as bright as the summer sun!Why are men willing to risk their lives and work hard outside, isn't it just for the reassuring smile of their family members?

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, opened his big hands, and hugged his wives, concubines and children into his arms.

"Ben Hou is back!"

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed!So that night, Zhao Kuo, who had just returned, encountered a very intense "test" by his wife Tian Wan.

Finally, after countless times of climbing to the top together, Zhao Kuo, who had lost all his strength, chose to raise the white flag: "Ma'am, that's it for tonight, let's fight another day!"

Don't look at her gentle ladylike demeanor on weekdays, but the wildness that Tian Wan exudes when husband and wife are alone is something that no one can appreciate except Zhao Kuo. She is like a heroic girl. The knight wanted to conquer Zhao Kuo again and again, and finally she succeeded!Tian Wan, who had won the victory, looked down at Zhao Kuo with proud eyes, and then fell into Zhao Kuo's arms with a bang.

Although there are only exhausted cattle and no plowed land, Zhao Kuo is a well-known general after all and is very young. If Tian Wan hadn't relied on her absolute advantage in body structure and that wild desire to conquer, she would have been a long time ago. It was defeated.

Tian Wan lay in Zhao Kuo's arms, breathed out like blue and said: "Your Honor, Qiu'er is pregnant again!"

"what?"

Zhao Kuo was surprised when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed: "Okay, that's great!"

Now Zhao Kuoman only has two children, which is really not many. These days, it is quite normal for a big noble like Zhao Kuo to have ten or eight sons, and twenty or thirty children.

From Zhao Kuo's point of view, he is actually very willing to see a group of children surrounded in front of him, that feeling must be great.

But for some reason, Zhao Kuo suddenly sighed again.

As the so-called husband and wife are one, Tian Wan knew Zhao Kuo's thoughts almost immediately, and said with a smile: "Why, you sighed because you can't play tricks on Qiu'er?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Madam really knows me!"

Tian Wan stretched out a finger like white jade, and tapped Zhao Kuo's forehead forcefully: "You men are always so greedy!"

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Men are big pigs, that's normal.

Wan'er, don't be angry, I'm in Handan for a while, and I'll give you a child when the time comes. "

This sentence seemed to arouse Tian Wan's fighting spirit, she turned over and got on the horse again, and said to Zhao Kuo in an unquestionable tone: "No, I am the mistress, how can I be so behind?

Want it now! "

Zhao Kuo's face froze, and there were countless regrets in his mind, and he just wanted to give himself a big blow.

I have to mention this, so I can talk about it tomorrow!It's too late.

For Zhao Kuo, it was definitely a very long night.

The next day, Zhao Kuo got up early with a sore back and stared at the two big dark circles under his sleep-deprived eyes, and went to the palace to report to the Queen Mother in the palace.

"Queen Dowager, this is the alliance between the King of Chu and his ministers after they made an alliance with blood. Fortunately, this time, the ministers are not disgraceful!"

The Empress Dowager seemed a little careless. After receiving the alliance letter, she casually glanced at it, put it on the desk, and said indifferently: "Very well, Mr. Wu Xin has worked hard."

In the ensuing conversation, anyone who wasn't a fool could feel the empress dowager's cold attitude.

What makes Zhao Kuo dumbfounded is that the queen mother rewarded Zhao Kuo with [-] copper coins and [-] pieces of silk cloth for his successful mission this time!That's it?

What is the reward for this little money, or you can just stay in the treasury.

With this speechless mood, Zhao Kuo walked out of the hall.

Walking down the steps, Zhao Kuo was also very puzzled in his heart: "First she supported me in the matter of the academy, and then she put on an attitude of wishing me to die in the matter of going on an envoy. what happened?"

Until several days after returning home, Zhao Kuo did not get the answer to this answer.

In the following time, Zhao Kuo also resumed his normal work and rest. After getting up every day, he went to the Da Sima official office to work, went to the palace every five days to teach King Zhao, and played with his wives and concubines and children when he was resting.

Half a month has passed, and the results of the important ministers' missions to various countries have gradually surfaced.

What surprised Zhao Kuo was that several of the results of these important ministers' missions were quite unexpected, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are shocking!

Chapter 219 The Old Woman Wants You to Stand Up and Suppress Zhao Kuo

This time Zhao Guo sent six important ministers to the other six powerful countries, hoping to sign alliances with these countries.

Among them, Mr. Pingyuan went to Wei, Han Xuwei went to South Korea, and Zhao Kuo went to Chu all succeeded. This was known early on.

Then, Mr. Pingyang went to Xianyang of Qin State to make Qin State bow his head to Zhao State, but the final result was failure, which was not unexpected by anyone at all.

After all, Qin State and Zhao State had 30 casualties in the Battle of Changping, and another [-] in the Battle of Hedong. The new and old hatreds are placed here, and it is impossible for the people of Qin to bow to Zhao with the character of the people of Qin.

These are the four countries, and the rest are Qi State, which is in charge of Lian Po, and Yan State, which is in charge of Lin Xiangru.
