Zhao Kuo felt that the despair was swept away, and his heart was suddenly infused with courage. He straightened his waist and looked at Lou Chang provocatively.

Lou Chang felt terrified. He didn't understand why so many people came forward for a mere child.

Zhuangzi felt angry. Zhao State was far more disappointing than when he left.

King Zhao felt ashamed because he did not prepare enough cauldrons. According to the specifications, most of these people could eat from five cauldrons. If they lose etiquette, what should they do if they refuse to stay in Zhao State?

The atmosphere of the banquet became a little weird. The old ministers sat on both sides, and Le Yi could not sit. The old man surnamed Pang sat beside him, holding him from behind with one hand, letting Le Yi sit on his arm, and no one felt that such behavior was inappropriate. Lin Xiangru coughed, raised his head, looked at King Zhao, and he opened his mouth to break the silence. He said, "Your Lord, I heard that war is a major event that concerns the survival of the country, and we must observe it carefully."

"Zhao Kuo has been to Changping and knows the situation there. You are unwilling to believe him, but instead listen to some villains who have never left Handan City and talk nonsense. Is this something that the king can do?" King Zhao hurriedly lowered his head and said, "You are right. This is not something that the king can do." Lin Xiangru said again, "You have followed me to study, and I have also told you about the kings who have brought disaster to themselves because they do not listen to advice."

"Zhao Kuo, he is a talented person in Zhao State. The people love him because of his virtues. The Qin people fear him because of his talent. How can you be despised by the words of villains? You are a person who loves talents. I know that, but if you cannot listen to the advice of talents, what if you gather the talents of the world around you? The strength of the country is not about how many talents there are around the king, but whether the king can listen to their advice."

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, he started coughing violently again.

King Zhao hurriedly said, "I remember, please don't blame me." Tian Dan closed his eyes and said nothing, but since he arrived here, it could explain his position. Le Yi looked at everyone blankly. He was always awake and trance. The old man next to him wiped the saliva from his mouth several times. King Zhao looked at Xunzi, and his eyes burned again with a desire for talented people.

He smiled and said, "I heard that Xunzi will come in the future, but I didn't expect that I would come so quickly that I could not go out of the city to greet you. This is my fault. Please forgive me." Xunzi had a cold face. Even when facing such courtesy from King Zhao, there was no change. He said, "When I was in Jixia, someone said that you longed for talent like you were in the desert. I came back from Jixia to see you, but I didn't expect that even people like Zhao Kuo would be excluded in the palace."

"Then who else dares to serve you?"

King Zhao was shocked and hurriedly stood up, looked at Zhao Kuo, and said with a sincere look: "I believe in the villain's words and cannot use your strategy. It's really not true. I will never do this again." Lou Chang, who was beside him, looked at King Zhao in surprise.

Zhao Kuo also stood up. If he could correct his mistakes, then the King Zhao would inevitably be a wise king. From the conversation just now, he also vaguely noticed the King Zhao's hobbies, so he said to his preference: "If Shangjun can accept the advice of a trivial person like me, then there will definitely be more real talents to assist Shangjun and offer you a strategy of governing the country and safeguarding the people."

When the King of Zhao heard this, he grinned and was extremely happy, and said, "You are the treasure of Zhao. Today, there are people like Xunzi who praise your virtues. Who dares to say that you are a humble person?" He waved his hand and said, "I agree to your proposal!" He looked at Yu Qing beside him. Since King Zhao held a banquet to entertain Linwu Jun, he has sat here without saying a word, drinking bitter wine all day long.

"Yu Qing, I know that you are friendly to Pingyuanjun. Please go to Dongwu. Zhao State is facing great danger. I hope Pingyuanjun can go on a mission to various countries and ask for reinforcements for Zhao State." King Zhao said, at this moment, the old man who had been supporting Le Yi raised his head and said, "Your lord, I have a word." Zhao Kuo did not know this old man, but he still had a good impression of this old man in his heart, not only because he could support himself, but because of his care for General Le Yi.

Judging from his age, this old man is probably not younger than General Le Yi, but he insisted on holding General Le Yi for so long, without any complaints on his face. This is a tough and kind old man, and Zhao Kuo made his first evaluation in his heart.

Zhao Kuo discovered that the King of Zhao's attention to the old man was not under Xunzi. When he heard the old man speak, King of Zhao respectfully lowered his head and asked carefully: "I wonder what you have to do?" Zhao Kuo was stunned, and the rest seemed very calm, as if it was necessary for King Zhao to be so respectful. The old man was very old, but his voice was loud and not as heroic as General Lian Po.

He smiled and said seriously: "As Mr. Lin said, war is a very important matter. Please send me to follow Pingyuan Jun and go to various countries for help." King Zhao said embarrassedly: "The countries are very far apart and you are old. How can you endure this rush? I am not willing to let you suffer."

The old man laughed, his eyes were particularly bright, he said, "I heard that the dead wood is of no use, but if it is lit, it will burn even brighter... I am old, please allow me to burn it again in the end."

Everyone here couldn't speak at all. King Zhao looked at the staunch old man and finally nodded, saying, "Then please go to Dongwu and go to various countries to ask for help with Pingyuanjun."

Lou Chang also knew in his heart that King Zhao had made a decision in his heart, and he would never go against any of King Zhao's decisions. No matter what King Zhao was thinking, he would agree. Because of this, he has always been the confidant of King Zhao. Even if he harmed Zhao several times, King Zhao did not hold him accountable because these strategies were actually the King Zhao's own ideas, and Lou Chang just told him out.

He forced a smile and said, "I think what Pang Gong said is very..."

"Stop!" Le Yi, who was leaning against the old man, suddenly shouted. He looked at Lou Chang angrily and said, "If you dare to say something more in front of me, I will hit your head with my cane!" The angry Le Yi vaguely revealed some of the domineering aura of the past, frowned, and his eyes were full of murderous aura. Lou Chang was like a frightened rabbit, trembling all over, lowered his head in fear, almost retracted into his clothes, and dared not speak again.

Zhao Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what the result of this request for help would be, but he always wanted to try it. King Zhao didn't seem to care about Le Yi's threat to Lou Chang. He was very happy with so many talented people gathered in his palace. Well, Xunzi, Le Yi, Lin Xiangru, Tian Dan, Pang Nuan, Zhao Kuo, Lin Wujun, Yu Qing, Lou Chang, Xu Li, Zhao Hui, which prince could make so many talented people his guests?

The King of Zhao talked cordially with everyone. He seemed to have the idea of ​​letting Le Yi, Tian Dan, Pang Nuan, Zhao Kuo, Linwu Jun, Xunzi and others discuss the war. However, Le Yi finally couldn't hold on for too long. He needed to go back and rest. Zhao Kuo stood up and said, "Please let me send General Le Yi back." The King of Zhao was determined to keep him and said, "I still have many things to ask you."

Xunzi looked at Zhao Kuo, saw his anxiousness, and said, "If you have anything to do, I will ask me for advice. Although I don't have any talent, I can still help you when I solve my confusion in Jixia." With Xunzi's company, King Zhao naturally stopped trying to keep Zhao Kuo and accepted Zhao Kuo's farewell with a smile. Tian Dan didn't seem to be willing to stay here, so he also left with an excuse.

The two supported Le Yi and walked out of the palace. Ge was waiting outside the palace. When he saw Zhao Kuo coming out, he couldn't help but smile, but said nothing. Zhao Kuo smiled at him. Ge understood that things had been successful and helped Le Yi to the carriage. Tian Dan was about to leave, but Zhao Kuo hurriedly stopped him and said, "I did something wrong before. I shouldn't insult you like that. Please forgive me."

Tian Dan ignored him, looked at him deeply, sighed, turned around and left, his back looked a little lonely.

Ge was driving, General Le Yi was lying on the carriage, and Zhao Kuo followed him on foot. Along the way, Zhao Kuo was thinking about the next plan. The request for help could be done, so he wanted to do the wheelbarrow. He didn't know how to do it, but it should be... not difficult to find a craftsman to make a wheelbarrow car? Zhao Kuo was not sure. When he returned to Mafu Township, he would find a craftsman and let the craftsman try it.

General Le Yi was too tired and was in a daze all the way. He said nothing. When he sent him to the mansion, General Le Yi's driver went out and looked at them helplessly, and said with a smile: "Earlier, when Mr. Lin came to visit General Le Yi, he prepared a carriage, so that I could only wait. Now you sent the general back in person. This is to make me lose the position of the driver."

He supported General Le Yi into the house and let him lie down, "Thank you." Zhao Kuo said, and walked out of the inner room. The driver was talking to Ge. When he saw Zhao Kuo, the driver bowed to him and said, "During these days, your guests came to see General Le Yi with gifts every day. General Le Yi was very happy. He could chat with them for more than half an hour. I have been following the general for such a long time, and I have never seen him so happy now. Thank you for your kindness."

As the driver said, he choked a little and wiped his tears.

"Please don't say that. When I finish my own business, I will come to thank the general in person. I just did what I should do, and he helped me a lot."

After saying goodbye to the driver, Zhao Kuo got on the carriage, Ge drove the carriage and said happily: "Shaojun, you don't know. Just now, Mr. Lin and others came to the palace gate. The warriors stopped them and refused to let them in. Mr. Lin was so anxious that he raised his crutches and chased them and beat them. The warriors didn't dare to fight back, and they were beaten to the point of bruising and swollen..."

Zhao Kuo listened to Ge's words and slowly raised his head, with a smile on his face.

Thanks.
