December 21, 260 BC.

When the news of Tunliu City's relief came, Zhao Dan's always tense mood finally improved a lot, and he had even started to feel the luck of Zhao Kuo.

Looking at the battle report just now in his hand, Zhao Dan suddenly realized that Zhao Kuo had already experienced two escaping death since his destiny was changed by him.

Is this the so-called bad luck?

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

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

Why? Because of the inheritance of knowledge.

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

Only with the inheritance of knowledge can human beings continue to make progress, and so will the family.

In the era when Zhao Dan traveled through time, a man named Chen Sheng once said a deafening and shocking saying that influenced the Chinese for two thousand years. This sentence was called "Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers have a kindness?"

Actually, there are.

Let’s first look at a very prominent family in Chinese history - the Langya Wang family.

The Wang family of Langya, one of the most prominent aristocratic families in later generations, came from Wang Jian, a general of Qin.

In history, Wang Jian made great military achievements for the Qin State to unify the world. All six countries in the world were Wang Jian, and Wang Ben and his son were destroyed. In addition, Wang Jian's grandson Wang Li, one family and three marquises, was extremely prominent.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Ji, Wang Jun and Wang Chong, descendants of Wang Jian, served as doctoral counselors, censors, and Dasikong in the Western Han Dynasty.

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

After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Wang family also moved south, and Wang Dun supported Sima Rui to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was once unparalleled and was known as "the king and horse share the world."

"Dialectical Examination of the Book of Surnames in Ancient and Modern Times" says: "The Wang family of Langya came from the Han Dynasty's counselor Wang Ji, and changed to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The family was 62 people, the three ministers ordered more than 50 servants, eighty servants, and twenty-five ministers of the Ministry of Personnel." It can be called "their knives will not replace them", "the crown will not replace them", and "the wealth will not replace them in the world".

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 remained unchanged was the prominent and high position of the Wang family.

Is this accidental? Obviously not.

So what Chen Sheng didn't know was that the kings, princes, generals and ministers he hated actually had "seeds".

The "seed" of the families of kings, princes, generals and ministers is knowledge.

The knowledge here does not refer to the Four Books and Five Classics, nor is it a fake and empty eight-legged essay, nor is it a propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, and moral tradition.

The knowledge here refers to how to deal with a king, how to manage one party, how to rule his subordinates, how to win people's hearts, and even how to be an emperor.

As long as these extremely valuable knowledge are available, these families will always rise one day even if they decline for a while.

Knowledge is the root of all aristocratic families.

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

It is no exaggeration to describe Ma Fujun Zhao She as a genius.

He can be a civil and military person, a singular and general, and can share the worries of the king and unite his colleagues. He is simply a perfect subject template with no blind spots in all directions and no faults.

In Zhao Dan's view, Zhao She is actually the same type of people as Wang Jian, and they are both ancestral figures who can create top aristocratic families.

But Zhao She's luck was obviously much worse than Wang Jian, because Zhao She died in her fifties, and then Zhao She's son Zhao Kuo died in Changping before he grew up.

These two consecutive blows, coupled with the demise of Zhao State, eventually led to the Zhao family of Zhao She's cut off its inheritance before it even took shape.

But now it's different.

Zhao Dan's time travel changed Zhao Kuo's fate and also gave Zhao She's Zhao family the possibility of inheriting and carrying it forward like Wang family.

Given the contributions of the Wang clan to Qin in history, Zhao Dan actually hoped that Zhao would have such a good minister family like the Wang clan of Qin. The "Zhao clan" of Zhao She and Zhao Kuo were one of the candidates in Zhao Dan's mind.

This is why Zhao Dan gave the three Sun Tzu's Art of War to others, but instead gave them to Zhao Kuo.

Of course, Zhao Dan is still in the training stage for Zhao Kuo at the moment. Whether it is possible or not, Zhao Kuo has to prove it himself.

If Zhao Kuo is finally proved to be just a useless person, then Zhao Dan will not foolishly continue to help him, but let him die.

For kings, whether useful or not is the most direct measure.

The useful people are the ones worth cultivating.

From the current point of view, at least Zhao Kuo did a good job and was quite useful.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, then said to the Xianxian in front of him: "Send someone to pass on my orders. The deputy general Zhao Kuo has made great contributions in fighting. I feel very relieved. He has a bounty of 10,000 and a 20-year-old woman. He also ordered his generals to defend Tunliu's army, so he must guard Tunliu for me!"

"Vei." Zhao Xian responded and took the order out.

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

During the grand court discussion a few days ago, after Zhao Dan passed the general mobilization order of Zhao State against the public, the people in Handan were mobilized in just a few days.

What made Zhao Dan happy was that after the general mobilization order was issued, he found that there were 100,000 male men who could be used as militias in Handan alone!

Of course, this is because the nearest part of Handan is the densest place in Zhao State, but even so, the four big cities have been fully calculated, and it should be no problem to raise 200,000 or even more.

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

At this moment, Zhao Dan had already led his army across the east side of Wukou Pass and came to a small town called Liyi. He would only have a few more days to arrive in Changzhi.

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

Overall, the current situation is still optimistic, at least it has not continued to deteriorate.

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

This is the report sent back by the frontline general Lian Po.

Since Zhao Dan announced his personal expedition, the memorials sent from the Changping Front have changed from once every three days to once every day.

Zhao Dan carefully read this memorial written by Lian Po.

It seems that there is not much problem with the Changping front line. In addition to the daily routine meat grinder battle outside Changping Pass, Lian Po resolutely defended the defense line and did not allow Bai Qi to make a comprehensive breakthrough.

After reading Lian Po’s information, Zhao Dan also breathed a little relieved.

In any case, although Lian Po does look slightly inferior to Bai Qi, at least Lian Po did not make the full defeat that Zhao Dan was most worried about appeared on the battlefield of Changping.

Zhao Dan closed the bamboo slips and thought silently in his heart: "Now, it depends on Xinlingjun."

Given that Yecheng and Handan, which were stationed by the Wei army, were only one day away, Zhao Dan quickly learned about Wei Wuji's seizure of power and killing Jin Bi.

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

Lin Xiangru's death actually reminded Zhao Dan to some extent, that is, although Zhao Dan's time travel has led to changes in the entire history, Zhao Dan's time travel cannot change everyone, nor can it change everything.

So Lin Xiangru still has to die, so Housheng is still so greedy for money, so the matter of Lu Buwei supporting Zhao Yiren is still going steadily, so although Xinling Jun saved Zhao was full of twists and turns, it eventually happened.

According to Zhao Sheng's statement and the information obtained by Zhao State, after seizing military power, Wei Wuji had led 100,000 Wei troops to quickly move south and attacked Yewang City, guarded by Qin general Sima Geng and 50,000 elite Qin troops.

The battle between Wei Wuji and Sima Geng was what Zhao Dan had always hoped for. Zhao State's victory and defeat in this battle of Changping!

It seems quite unreliable to place the fate of the whole country in the hands of a foreigner.

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