Because of the existence of Li Yuan in the State of Chu, Zhao Kuo also learned that Chu was going to move the capital in a very short time.

In fact, even without Li Yuan, such a big thing would not be completely uncovered.

After hearing this news, Zhao Kuo was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing: "This King of Chu is really timid."

It has to be said that this history does have its own inertia. In history, Chu State was forced to move the capital by Qin State, and now it is forced to move the capital by Zhao State.

But no matter which country it is, the cowardly character of the King of Chu and the weak national strength of Chu destined that when facing the strongest country at that time, Chu could only choose to avoid rather than face it head-on.

To a certain extent, this is also a proof that the character of the Chu State's national people has become weaker and weaker. The real passionate people have been killed on the battlefield, and those who survived are all cowards.

When Zhao Kuo thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The weakness of Chu was not a bad thing for Zhao, so of course Zhao Kuo didn't mind that Chu would continue to be so weak.

Zhao Kuo did not take any action on this matter. On the one hand, Zhao had just signed an alliance with Chu. If he had to go back on his word so quickly, it would be a bit too much.

From another perspective, Zhao State is actually quite busy now. It must first control the land of South Korea it has just occupied, and then it can continue to attack other countries next year.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that officials from Zhao State have been sent to inform those newly conquered lands.

The Zhao State has now explored a complete set of processes. Compared with the first time, which can almost be said to be a chaotic situation, Zhao State has truly realized the "one-stop" service in the process of taking over by officials, which has saved Zhao Kuo, the Xiangbang.

Of course, as the Prime Minister of Zhao, Zhao Kuo did not say that he did nothing. For example, most of the Zhao officials who were sent to South Korea to take over local order are graduates from the Zhao Academy.

Everyone knows that the Zhao State Academy is actually the base camp used by Zhao Kuo's sect to cultivate reserve talents. Therefore, when the address of the academy is increasing in Zhao State, this is actually when Zhao Kuo's power is getting stronger and stronger in Zhao State.

This is also Zhao Kuo's greatest advantage over Zhou Shaofen or other political enemies. As a base for training talents, the Academy can help Zhao Kuo continuously cultivate loyal subordinates, and these subordinates are often knowledgeable, cultural and capable.

If it is one year or two, this is actually not a big deal. After all, who can become an important official of Zhao State, does not have a group of very capable confidants under his command?

But if this time point is extended to 10 years, then things will be completely different.

During these 10 years, the State of Zhao has been expanding continuously, and its land area and population have increased several times compared with before, and the number of officials needed has naturally increased several times.

At this time, Zhao Kuo's advantage of mass manufacturing and production of talents in the Academy was fully reflected.

Others have only a few subordinates, and they can occupy only a few positions. Even if they want to cultivate talents, it is absolutely impossible to train hundreds of officials every year like Zhao Kuo, and these officials are all qualified.

To simply describe it, Zhao Kuo is like a production line that constantly produces batches of qualified finished products, while other Zhao Kuo's political enemies are small handicraft workshops, which can only be made one by one, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Zhao Kuo can gain a huge advantage.

After it can be said that the problem of South Korea's rule was solved step by step, Zhao Kuo is actually facing a new problem now.

This question is quite historically related, that is, how should we deal with the Zhou emperor?

Yes, this Zhou emperor is not another Zhou emperor, but the Zhou emperor of the Zhou Dynasty founded by King Wen, King Wu of Zhou, and Grandmaster Jiang.

Why did the Zhou Tianshi survive until now? It is actually very simple, because the Zhou Dynasty was divided into two periods: Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, while the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Now it happened to be the end of the Warring States Period, so the Zhou emperor has not actually disappeared.

However, the power of the Zhou emperor is now very weak, and his fiefdom is only like Luoyi, and all other places are controlled by South Korea.

To put it bluntly, the current Zhou emperor is actually a puppet controlled by the Koreans. He is a bit like the Vatican Church in the Western World later generations, but the Vatican Church is even more miserable. There is only one palace where the Pope is located, and it is not as big as the Zhou emperor.

When Zhao State destroyed South Korea, Luoyi was now surrounded by all the territory of Zhao State. Considering that there were no soldiers in Luoyi at all, it can be said that Zhao Kuo wanted to destroy the Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed just one sentence.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuo also made a decision: "Issue an order to tell the new Sanchuan County Magistrate, and temporarily maintain the status quo of Luoyi.

But the Duke of Western Zhou and Duke of Eastern Zhou... will destroy them."

Luoyi is what later generations call Luoyang City. The current situation of this city is quite strange, because although the territory of the Zhou emperor was so small, the territory could be divided into two parts.

This part on the east side belongs to the Eastern Zhou Duke, and the part on the west side naturally belongs to the Western Zhou Duke.

This is also some of the historical grievances of the Zhou emperor, and Zhao Kuo was too lazy to care about it, but for Zhao Kuo, the more lonely the Zhou emperor was, the better, so the Western Zhou Duke and Eastern Zhou Duke would all get out.

After dealing with these actions from the demise of South Korea, Zhao Kuo finally welcomed Li Mu back.

On this day, Li Mu led a 100,000 army of Zhao State to escort many Korean prisoners and countless gold and silver wealth, and returned to the capital of Zhao State and Handan City in a mighty way.

King Zhao showed considerable interest in Li Mu's triumph. According to the reports of the officials in charge of the matter, King Zhao personally asked about almost every triumph celebration matter, striving to be perfect.

In this regard, Zhao Kuo's camp was naturally not unaware of this, so Xu Li reminded Zhao Kuo.

"Master, why is the king so enthusiastic about Li Mu?

I always feel like there is something going on."

In response to this, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly: "Of course he has made some plans, after all, our king is not a fool."

There will be evil when something goes wrong. This is a truth that everyone knows. King Zhao has been with Queen Li every day recently. He wishes to hand over all the government affairs to Zhao Kuo. Suddenly, he is particularly enthusiastic about something. It would be abnormal if there is no ghost in this matter.

Xu Li thought for a while and said, "Master, did you... treat Li Mu as the second Zhou Shaofen?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "It should be like this."

After all, King Zhao is still too young, so he doesn't know how to cover up when doing anything. It will become very easy to guess his goals.

When Xu Li heard this, he was a little unhappy: "This king, it was not enough to create a Zhou Shaofen before. Now he still wants to dig Li Mu?"

For Xu Li, the people from Wuxinjun’s mansion are from Wuxinjun’s mansion, and they are not from King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo laughed: "This is nothing to do. If everyone has seen his light, how could they not want to stand with him after seeing his outstanding subordinates?

But..." Zhao Kuo paused for a moment, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes: "Li Mu is my husband. It's not that easy to steal people from me!"

For Zhao Kuo, it is already very unhappy for Zhou Shaofen to rebel. Who wants to use the same trick again now?

Sorry, even if you are the so-called king, it will definitely not work! After hearing Zhao Kuo's statement, Xu Li waved his palm vigorously and said with a smile: "The Lord is right! The old minister has long been unhappy with these guys.

But how do we deal with them?"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't they think they can be able to instigate Li Mu like they were instigating Zhou Shaofen back then?

Then... I will let them do what they want!"

Xu Li was stunned at first when he heard this, and then thought about something.

At night, Zhao army camp.

Li Mu led the Zhao army to a place only twenty miles away from Handan City and camped here.

Judging from the time, Li Mu will officially arrive in Handan City tomorrow to attend the triumphal ceremony.

So at this time, Li Mu was of course very relaxed. He even drank wine with his generals for a while, and then returned to his handsome tent drunk.

Just as he returned to the coach's tent, Li Mu was shocked.

Someone.

After seeing the person's face clearly, Li Mu then put down his hand that had been pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist and complained: "Su Li, I am a general after all. Did you not even understand the notice before meeting the general?"

Su Li smiled slightly and said to Li Mu: "Who is our brothers and who is with us? Just let's not report this kind of thing."

Li Mu snorted dissatisfiedly, sat in front of Su Li with a golden sword, and said, "You are in charge of the Nightingale. You will never leave the Lord without any trouble.

Let’s talk, is something happening again in Handan?”

Su Li smiled and took out a secret letter from his arms: "The Lord wrote it, burned after reading it."

Li Mu's expression began to become solemn. He carefully opened the sealing mud and began to read.

As he looked, Li Mu's brows gradually frowned and he didn't speak for a long time.

Su Li smiled and said, "Why, don't you express your opinion?"

Li Mu let out a long breath, put the letter paper on the oil lamp on the table, watched the flames swallow the letter, and then spoke.

"This strategy...why not change to someone else?"

Su Li shrugged and said, "Because the one the king and Zhou Shaofen are trying to win over is you."

Li Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "You don't know that my acting skills are very poor. What if they see a flaw?"

Su Li shook his head and said, "You are stupid. You don't need to get close to that old fox Zhou Shaofen. You just need to show your attitude of being loyal to the king.

The king admires you very much. With the king's trust, Zhou Shaofen's side is not a problem at all."

Li Mu looked helpless and said, "Can you just go into Handan and take down all these people?"

Su Li touched the beard on his chin and said, "The Lord said, the time has not come."

Li Mu was a little irritated: "But it has been so many years!"

Su Li smiled and said, "But the Lord said, as long as the king really believes in you, the time will come soon."

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he said, "Take it serious?"

Su Li nodded: "It's true!"

Li Mu's fist hit the table hard, causing a few drops of lamp oil to splash out from the oil lamp.

"Okay, go back and tell the Lord, I, Li Mu, will cooperate with him in a big show this time!"

Su Li laughed and said, "The Lord has another sentence for me to bring to you - 'Those who walk a hundred miles apart are half ninety, and only those who can truly persevere to the end are the real winners!'" After saying this, Su Li stood up, bowed to Li Mu, and then disappeared gracefully into the darkness.

Li Mu sat alone in the handsome tent. After a while, he suddenly laughed.

"I didn't expect that it was time for me, Lao Li, to take the lead.

I don’t know what kind of face that guy Li Si will look like after knowing the truth in the future?”

Although Li Mu is not enthusiastic about political things and is too lazy to participate, he has sharp eyes.

Li Si thought he would hide his jealousy towards Li Mu very well, but he didn't know that Li Mu had already seen through everything.

However, from Li Mu's perspective, he actually doesn't like Li Si either because he thinks this person is too gloomy and not suitable for being friends! After all, everyone is in a "entrepreneurship period", so Li Mu won't do anything to Li Si either.

However, Li Mu didn't mind slapping Li Si in the face in such a thing, letting Li Si know what is the real confidant around the Lord and what is the real hero around the Lord! When he thought of this, Li Mu's laughter became louder and louder.

...The next day.

In the morning, countless officials and people of Zhao were already looking forward to the gate of Handan City.

It is worth mentioning that many of them did not come by themselves. After all, after so many years of victory, everyone has watched too many Triumph Ceremony, so they are naturally a little aesthetically tired.

However, this time, King Zhao issued a death order, which led to many officials sending out all the people in the mansion, including the servants, with only one purpose, to cheer Li Mu.

Even King Zhao himself broke the convention and did not wait at the gate of the palace, but came directly outside Handan City to wait! King Zhao's goal was also very simple.

Take Li Mu for your own use!
