"What?"

Bai Qi looked at the scout in front of him, his face full of confusion. The scout was the same. Seeing that Wu Anjun was a little disbelief, he said again: "I saw Ma Fujun entering the palace with my own eyes. The envoy of the King of Han came to me and told me that Ma Fujun had been caught by the King of Han. If we did not retreat, the King of Han would kill Ma Fujun. I asked our people again. They said that after Ma Fujun entered the palace, he did not go out. The King of Han had summoned a group of warriors before..."

"Absurd..." Bai Qi shook his head. He really didn't understand what the King of Han wanted to do. Previously, he sent someone to tell him that he would let the Zhao army stay outside the city and give Bai Qi the opportunity to attack. He hoped that Bai Qi could destroy the Zhao army. At that time, Bai Qi was a little confused. He was still suspicious. Is the King of Han trying to plot against him and setting up an ambush outside the city?

Bai Qi sent someone to inquire about the news about the King of Han, but he couldn't understand the King of Han's ideas, and Bai Qi did not intend to continue to study. He was the leader in the war, and he did not need to know what the King of Han thought. As long as he could control the war and let the war develop according to his own thoughts, he would quickly send people to collect food from the people on the road he was heading to.

Based on Bai Qi's understanding of Zhao Kuo, the first thing Zhao Kuo did after entering Xinzheng was to use Xinzheng's food to help the people in various places. In this way, Bai Qi's scattered soldiers could play a role. Once they assisted, Bai Qi could plunder once. If Zhao Kuo wanted to safeguard the people, he could only divide his troops to defeat them. This situation would become the original battle of Zhao. Bai Qi could integrate the scattered troops at any time and defeat Zhao Kuo's armies in turn.

When the number of people is too severe, this is a safe way that Bai Qi can think of to defeat the strong with the weak.

Of course, this is just a way of thinking of Bai Qi. During this period, Bai Qi also seriously studied his opponent. Zhao Kuo's command ability was not as good as Lian Po, or even Wei Wuji. He could not adapt to changes and could not command the army like waving his hands and feet. However, he could greatly enhance the fighting spirit of the army he led. The 10,000 Zhao soldiers he led could exert the combat effectiveness of the 50,000 Zhao soldiers led by Lian Po.

What this guy is best at fighting is to motivate his soldiers. The morale of the army happens to be the most important aspect of an army.

Bai Qi now has only more than 6,000 troops, and Zhao Kuo and Chu and Han can have an army of more than 70,000 troops. Among these 70,000 people, 20,000 Zhao soldiers could burst out with combat power that was not inferior to the Qin army with the inspiration of Zhao Kuo. Meng Wu suggested asking for help from Xianyang. As long as Xianyang could send another 10,000 people, Bai Qi would have the power to fight against them, but Bai Qi refused. He had a cold face and said nothing in the face of Meng Wu's request.

He was just too proud... Meng Wu thought to himself.

Just as Bai Qi was ready and waiting for Xinzheng to transport food and grass to various places, the scout came to report that his opponent had been detained by the King of Han, and the King of Han even used his opponent to threaten him. Bai Qi was stunned. All his strategies in the past seemed to be wasted. Bai Qi frowned, sat in the upper position, and began to think seriously. Meng Wu stood aside, and when he heard this absurd thing, he was speechless.

"Shen Buhe was originally a minor official in Zheng State. Zheng State was destroyed. He obtained a humble official position in Korea and was not respected by others. Wei State attacked South Korea, and no one of the ministers could resolve the crisis. Shen Buhe made a statement to Han Zhaohou without authorization, asking him to take the jade artifacts he held when he met the emperor to meet King Hui of Wei, and successfully resolved the crisis in Korea. When Wei State attacked Zhao, he besieged Wei and saved Zhao, so he gained the trust of Han Zhaohou."

"I respect him. He was able to become the prime minister of South Korea from the lowest level. During the fifteen years he served as prime minister, the country was prosperous and his troops were strong. No prince dared to plot against South Korea again. His reforms, according to what I know, were to rectify the administration of officials and strengthen the rule of the monarch." Zhao Kuo paused. Since he came to this era, he had been studying, but he was not just studying military tactics like Zhao Kuo in the past. Now he is a bit knowledgeable.

In today's world, books are very important. Each company's private collection will not be easily displayed for others to watch. However, if Ma Fujun wants to read, this is not a problem. Many people are proud of Ma Fujun's borrowing books from them. Doesn't this just show Ma Fujun's recognition of his collection? Therefore, when Zhao Kuo talked about Shen Buwei, he also told the truth.

"Shen Buhe took back the privileges of the nobles and used their wealth to enrich the treasury. He strengthened the assessment and supervision of officials, rewarded for merit and granted official positions because of his talents. These were the systems he set when he was in power. I heard that he wanted one of his close friends to serve as an official position, asking Han Zhaohou, but Zhaohou refused. Shen Buhe told him, isn't this the way you told me to govern the country? Shen Buhe was speechless and hurriedly asked Zhaohou to punish him."

Zhao Kuo seemed to be telling a story, and said casually. The King of Han was a little disdainful at first. He had been studying Shen Buwei's theory for many years. What could Zhao Kuo tell him? However, listening to Zhao Kuo telling these stories, Han was gradually fascinated, and even the pain in his eyes seemed to weaken a lot. Zhao Kuo then said: "You now believe in Shen Buwei's theory, but you imitate his technique and forget to treat it."

"I once heard a story. There was a merchant selling jewelry in the State of Chu. He once came to Zheng State to sell jewelry. In order to sell it at a good price, he made a box with high-quality wood. The box merchants were all beautiful patterns. Zheng people were very happy to see his jewelry. They bought his jewelry at a high price, but left only the box and returned the jewelry in the box to him." Zhao Kuo looked at King Han and said with emotion: "Isn't your behavior now just holding the box but throwing the jewelry?"

"If you can implement the doctrine of Shen Buwei, promote and reward according to the talents and merits of wise men, limit the power of domestic nobles, prevent them from harming the people, unify domestic government orders, do not issue orders in the morning but modify them at night, advocate that the people open up more wasteland, reduce taxes, pay attention to and develop handicrafts and commerce, then you have mastered the foundation of Shen Buwei's doctrine, and simply imitate his external appearance but do not pay attention to the inner self, and will only discard the essence of Shen Buwei's doctrine!"

Seeing that King Han actually listened to Zhao Kuo's words seriously and even nodded, Han Fei widened his eyes and was disbelief.

King Han suddenly asked, "Shen Buhe said, "It is not the people who threaten the king, not the enemy, but the ministers around him. What do you think of this sentence?"

"Every era, there is a system that suits him the most. I heard that people who drill wood to make fire in Xia..." Zhao Kuo once again told the New Saint's Scholars and continued: "In the South Korea at that time, the nobles had their own army, and were even stronger than Zhaohou's army. Shen Buhe proposed this to make Zhaohou alert to these people, reorganize their private soldiers into national soldiers, and avoid civil strife in South Korea... But now, do you think, in South Korea, is there any army that is stronger than you?"

King Han thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I understand."

"Shen Buwei said he wanted to show his enemy as weak. What do you think?"

Xianyang

Fan Ju sat in front of the King of Qin, and in the palace, there were mountain-like bamboo slips piled up. These bamboo slips were handed over from Zhao State. After a long time of no information, suddenly, Zhao State's detailed works sent a lot of gifts. Han Fei recorded his words and deeds for a whole year, Zhao Kuo's teachings to his disciples, and Zhao Kuo's conversations with the ministers in China, which were delivered in a total of twelve carriages.

Fan Ju was about to watch, but the King of Qin couldn't wait to ask Fan Ju to send these. Here, there was also a reply from Ma Fujun to the King of Qin. Fan Ju had to bring these bamboo slips to the palace. The King of Qin held his hands behind his back, probably not wanting Fan Ju to see his trembling hands. He looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, grinning, a strange smile, and a light flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Fan Ju, and neither of them spoke, and they opened the bamboo slips and started to look.

The eunuchs who served the King of Qin were a little scared recently because the King of Qin had not left the palace for two days. He ate in the palace and slept in the palace. Even Yinghou had never left the palace. Occasionally, he could hear the king's heroic laughter, and occasionally he could hear the king's roar. The warriors in the palace had rushed in several times. Those who were unaware of it thought it was Yinghou who killed the king. When the warriors went in, they saw the king pounding his chest angrily and gritting their teeth.

Fan Ju, who was sitting aside, was also holding her hair with her hands, feeling heartbroken.

This is...Wuanjun died in battle??

The warriors were secretly guessing, but they were driven out by the angry King of Qin.

"Zhao Dan...Zhao Dan...", sitting in the palace, the bamboo slips were placed casually everywhere in the palace. The King of Qin sat on the ground, completely ignoring the king's etiquette, just lowered his head and murmured, Fan Ju was better, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, thinking hard, Han Fei recorded almost all the ideas and words of Zhao Kuo on the road, which led to the King of Qin falling into deep hatred for King Zhao after seeing these bamboo slips.

If you have such a talent, you won’t let him serve as the Prime Minister???

The ideas that Zhao Kuo told Han Fei were the experiences over the past few thousand years. From various perspectives such as politics, business, military, and even literature and art, it was so comprehensive and long-term. Especially when Zhao Kuo raised the issue of land annexation hundreds of years later, and the issue of too concentrated monarchy. The system of one era is always inappropriate in another era.

However, Zhao Kuo seemed to have proposed the system suitable for each era in the next few hundred years. His unique thoughts were mixed with the theories of Confucianism, Law, Taoism, agriculture, name, Mo, etc. Fan Ju said: Zhao Kuo is the master of the mixed family, and is a sage of the mixed family. The King of Qin ignored what kind of family Zhao Kuo belonged to. Now he just wants Zhao Kuo to become the Qin family...

"Uncle Fan..." The King of Qin looked at Fan Ju not far away, his voice trembling.

Fan Ju looked at him, and then the King of Qin said, "Quickly organize these bamboo slips, you will be responsible for writing the "Horse Costume Book", promote the content suitable for promotion of "Horse Costume Book" to the whole country, list the systems in the bamboo slips, and choose the content that can be implemented at present... Tell Wu'anjun!! You must bring Ma Fujun back to Qin!! I want to increase my troops for him! Even if I surrounded Xinzheng for ten years, I will bring Ma Fujun back to me!!!"
