Chapter 1 Breaking Zhao Zhe Kuo Ye

"I heard that Zhao State has treasures that cannot be defeated."

"This is something I have never heard of. I heard that the treasure of Zhao State is called Heshi Bi. Its exquisiteness is more than any treasure in the world. However, such rare treasures are still played in the hands of the king. What treasure does Zhao State have to withstand a powerful army?"

"Young Master, Zhao State has three treasures. The first treasure is called Lin Xiangru. He is a famous warrior in Zhao State. He is wise and the second one is called Lian Po. He loves his soldiers and the soldiers are willing to follow him and die in battle. The third one is called Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng can treat scholars like his relatives. Therefore, scholars are not afraid of long journeys and thousands of miles to join his disciples. Zhao State has these three treasures that cannot be defeated."

"The Qin flags stand up like a dense forest. After the chariots are lined up, there is no end to see. The soldiers are eager to gain military merits. With generals like Wang Qi, they can't compare to the three treasures of Zhao?"

"There is no match for the general who can defeat Zhao State, there is only one person in the world."

"What you said is General Bai Qi?"

"Liang Po occupied the terrain that was beneficial to him and used his abundant physical strength to welcome enemies from afar. So what if Bai Qi is?"

"I hope you can tell me who can defeat Zhao State?"

"The only one who can defeat Zhao State is Zhao Kuo."

............

There was almost no decoration in the courtyard surrounded by adobe walls, and there was loess everywhere, just like an ancient movie scene with yellow filters in the 1980s and 1990s. A slender dagger fell on the ground. Two tall warriors, wearing headscarves, wearing red short suits, tied belts, hooks, leather boots, and holding short swords. The one who pressed one on the ground was not old. Unlike the two warriors, he did not wear a Hu suit.

He was wearing black clothes and was pressed to the ground by two people. One of them even put his knee on his back. The sparse stubble rubbed against the loess and grinned, like a wild beast in uniform, staring at the young man not far away.

Zhao Kuo was a little confused, knelt on the mat, dizzy, and inexplicably traveled to this guy with the same name and surname. Before he could recover, the guy who was kneeling in front of him pulled out a dagger and was about to assassinate him. At that moment, Zhao Kuo almost urinated, his legs became weak and his whole body was trembling. Fortunately, there were two of his disciples here. When they found something was wrong, they rushed up and subdued the assassin.

The memories of the previous twenty years kept hitting his mind, and the blue veins on his forehead kept beating. Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and held the wooden table in front of him with both hands. After a long time, he recovered and opened his eyes. This yellow world was not as exquisite and luxurious as in costume dramas. It was very simple. Whether it was the short earth walls not far away or the rammed earth house behind him, they all showed a simple world with the color of the era.

"Zhao Kuo..." Zhao Kuo murmured blankly. He already understood who he had traveled to. His predecessor was not an ordinary person. Zhao Kuo was the son of an outstanding general of the Warring States Period... Zhao She. The idiom of talking about war on paper was about him. He replaced Lian Po, who was originally commanding the Zhao army, confronted the Qin general Bai Qi, and was defeated and ruined the 400,000 troops of Zhao!

Thinking of the name Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shivered. Inexplicable fear filled his heart, and a chill suddenly emerged from his back, making him tremble.

Just when Zhao Kuo was troubled by all kinds of thoughts and couldn't speak, his two guests couldn't help but feel a little calmer. One of the warriors with a beard increased the strength of his knees. The assassin roared in pain. The guest asked angrily: "You are our Shaojun's friend. Shaojun treats you like a family member. We servants don't dare to treat you as an enemy! How can you do something against your faith?"

Hearing this roar, Zhao Kuo came to his senses and looked at the assassin in front of him.

There was still a slight pain on his forehead. He couldn't remember who the assassin was, but he seemed to be a friend of his predecessor? Then why did he still want to take his life?

The assassin was pressed on the ground, and the sword was crossed across his neck, but there was no fear on his face. He raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and said seriously: "Zhao Jun is my friend, but I heard that friendship can be abandoned in the face of national justice. I did such a thing for the sake of the country, not against the righteousness of the faith. Now things have failed. If Zhao Jun wants to kill me, please send me back to my country after I die."

Zhao Kuo was stunned and looked at the assassin in front of him in confusion. He didn't understand and didn't dare to speak casually. Who is this person? When he thought about it, his forehead suddenly hurt again.

Seeing Zhao Kuo not answering, the guest beside him asked again: "What does this have to do with the country when you assassinate our young master?"

The assassin said sadly: "Now Qin is fighting with Zhao. Qin has captured Duwei City, Gugu City, and the camps to the west of Zhao's army, and captured six Zhao's lieutenants. In this way, Lian Po is just a rotten wood, not a rival of Qin. What Qin is afraid of is General Zhao Kuo. If Zhao King takes General Zhao as the commander of Zhao and replaces Lian Po's position, Qin will definitely be defeated. I can't bear to see Qin suffer such a crushing defeat in the future."

"I'm yours!"

In an instant, Zhao Kuo screamed angrily, but his words were not Zhao Yu. Not to mention an assassin, even the disciples were stunned. What language was this young man speaking? Zhao Kuo stood up and was excited and spoke Mandarin from his previous life. However, looking at the three people in front of him, he seemed not to understand what he was saying. Zhao Kuo looked straight at the assassin in front of him, but he already understood the other party’s plan in his heart.

Qin was fighting with Zhao State, and the veteran Lian Po was waiting for his work and refused to defend himself. Qin State could not win. This was why he wanted to replace Lian Po. The assassin was not here to kill him at all. He was here to spread rumors and increase his reputation for himself, or he was here to kill him, but he wanted to leave himself to kill for free!

After understanding these things, Zhao Kuo calmed down and sat down again without kneeling. He was quite rude. He sneered and said, "Don't worry, I will never go to Changping. General Lian Po is the bravest general of Zhao State. I am far inferior to him. Even if the emperor ordered me to go to Changping, I will never go!"

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the assassin was shocked and quickly reacted again, and asked anxiously: "Shaojun, do you think this is serious?" This is not like Zhao Kuo on weekdays. Zhao Kuo claims to be aloof. When did Lian Po take it seriously by him? Not only the assassin, but also the guests were very surprised. He looked at his young master in a daze. Zhao Kuo thought of his original words, and realized that his words were inappropriate and did not conform to his previous personality.

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked to the assassin. In the assassin's surprised gaze, Zhao Kuo signaled the two disciples to let go and help the assassin up in person. Zhao Kuo held the assassin's hand excitedly. In the assassin's confused expression, Zhao Kuo said sincerely and sadly: "You and I have been friends for many years. You can assassin me for the righteousness of the country, but I cannot hurt you because of the affairs of the country."

"I would rather sit here and endure the scolding of the crowd, and would rather admit that I am not as good as General Lian Po than do something that hurts you."

"I see you as my family and confidant."

"I, Zhao Kuo, swear that I would rather die than go to Changping to hurt your compatriots! I, Zhao Kuo, would not do such a thing that goes against my faith and hurt my friends!!"

Zhao Kuo held the assassin's hand and said affectionately.

The guests' eyes were wet. They followed such a loyal head. They all said that the king of Zhao State Pingyuan is the most affectionate. Now it seems that our young master is the true loyalist!!

The assassin looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him in a daze.
