Chapter 212 Too good is not a good thing
Now, he became Zhou Shaofen in surprise: "Wu Xinjun was solved so quickly?"
In the hall, a pair of kings and ministers looked at each other, feeling a little disbelief.
The reason why the two urgent reports were so short is mainly because the first urgent report was that he wasted at least one day on Pingyuan Jun in Daliang City. The second urgent report was that Zhao Kuo sent someone back to Handan as soon as possible after solving the problem, so the two urgent reports arrived first.
But if the front and back feet are the front and back feet, does this situation mean that Zhao Kuo only took one day, which is wrong. This matter was solved in a total of two days?
With the huge malice behind the three thousand Chu troops, even the Chu State, Zhao Kuo only took one hundred Chiyou troops and a few civil officials to solve this matter?
Such a talent is really amazing! And the most terrifying thing is that this talent is not a military talent that Zhao Kuo has always praised, but a diplomatic talent that has nothing to do with military talent.
He understands military and diplomacy... At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt that Zhao Kuo was very dangerous and very dangerous.
One hundred cavalry can accomplish such a earth-shaking event, but now Zhao Kuo has a total of 3,000 cavalry under his command! Moreover, Zhao Kuo also has a close relationship with important officials of the Zhao State such as Pingyuan Jun, and has a huge reputation in the Zhao State military that even the general Lian Po cannot be compared.
The most important thing is that Zhao Kuo was the youngest among the seven important officials of Zhao State and the only one under the age of thirty! The empress dowager's brows became tighter and tighter.
After a long time, the Empress Dowager said, "Zhou Qing, since this matter has been resolved, then you can go back.
Remember, don't make any statement."
Zhou Shaofen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "But the Queen Mother, Wu Xinjun is my envoy of the Great Zhao after all. I still think that the Great Zhao must put some pressure on the Chu State. Otherwise, wouldn't it make people feel that my Great Zhao is majestic?"
The Queen Mother suddenly raised her tone: "The old woman said that this matter ends here!"
Zhou Shaofen was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the empress dowager planned to send troops to Chu for Zhao Kuo. Now, after receiving the news of the matter being resolved, he has an objection to Zhao Kuo?
Zhou Shaofen had no choice but to retreat.
The Empress Dowager sat alone in the hall, her slender and tender fingers gently tapping the table. After a moment, her thin red lips slightly tilted, revealing a very cold smile: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, it would be fine if you fail this time, once you succeed... Humph!"
After a moment of silence, the empress dowager suddenly thought: "Han Xuwei is old after all, Pingyuan Jun, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and others are all from Zhao Kuo's father or even grandfather's generation. Perhaps... we should consider promoting Zhou Shaofen so that he can compete with Zhao Kuo in the future?"
Zhou Shaofen, who had just left in doubt, didn't know that at this moment, he had been appointed by the Queen Mother as the future candidate for Zhao Guoxiangbang! Zhou Shaofen had just walked down the steps of the hall, and Pingyuan Jun's carriage was racing.
Zhou Shaofen was surprised: "Pingyuan Jun, why are you back?"
Pingyuan Jun didn't care about the distinction between demeanor and faction, and said directly: "Zhou Qing, go to the Empress Dowager with me and discuss the crisis that Wu Xinjun encountered in Chu State!"
Zhou Shaofen then understood why Pingyuan Jun rushed back to Handan so quickly, and immediately smiled and said, "Honor, Wu Xinjun just sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the matter has been resolved."
"ah?"
Pingyuan Jun was also stunned.
Zhou Shaofen took a minute to briefly introduce what he knew.
Pingyuan Junyue was surprised: "So, the Chu people not only took the initiative to make concessions, but Chu was also likely to sign an alliance with me, Da Zhao, because of this?"
Zhou Shaofen spread his hands: "I don't know this anymore.
Well, I’m not too late, I still have to work hard, so I’ll say goodbye.”
On the surface, Zhou Shaofen is still part of Lin Xiangru's sect, so he is still quite alienated when talking to Pingyuan Jun.
Looking at Zhou Shaofen who was leaving, Ping Yuanjun's face changed.
Pingyuan Jun was not worried that Zhou Shaofen would lie to him. It was really what Zhou Shaofen said just now that Pingyuan Jun was too shocked.
After a while, Pingyuan Jun suddenly sighed: "The wood is so beautiful that it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, you are so outstanding, it is not a good thing!"
Zhao Kuo didn't know that his excellence would cause some trouble. At this moment, he was sitting on a carriage and heading to Chencheng, the capital of Chu with Chunshenjun.
After two days of travel, Chen Cheng appeared in Zhao Kuo's sight.
The people of Chu were used to calling the capital "Ying" and the accompanying capital "Yan", so Chencheng was called "Chen Ying" by the people of Chu after becoming the capital of Chu.
Although Zhao Kuo had never been to Chu State to operate the Jianghan Plain for hundreds of years, and was not until the real Yingdu was conquered by Bai Qi more than 20 years ago, the scene of Chen Ying in front of him could not help but make Zhao Kuo shake his head slightly.
The scene of Chen Ying can be summarized in three words: old, broken, small! After all, this is a border city, and the people of Chu have always regarded it as a military fortress, which has also led to the military function of Chen Cheng far exceeding its political function.
It is no exaggeration to say that by the standards of a capital, Chencheng, even the second-rate city of Zhao State Zhongmu and Lingshou are not as good as that of this.
Chunshenjun's carriage was several feet away from Zhao Kuo, so Zhao Kuo let out a deep sigh: "I didn't expect that the State of Chu, which was one of the overlords of the world thirty years ago, has now fallen to such a level!"
Li Si rode his horse to follow Zhao Kuo. As a Chu man, he couldn't help but make Li Si's cheek twitch a little when he heard such words. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of the evil star Bai Qi!"
Bai Qi is the nemesis of Chu State, there is no doubt that this is the case.
The only thing that made Li Si feel very comforted was that the lord Zhao Kuo, whom he followed, happened to be Bai Qi's nemesis! Han Fei, who was riding a horse on the other hand, did not speak. Due to the stuttering, Han Fei usually prefers to communicate with others through articles.
Zhao Kuo touched the beard that had just grown on his chin and said slowly: "So, if you fall behind, you will be beaten! Only by unifying the entire Chinese princes in one country will it be the time when we Chinese people truly become extremely powerful!"
Li Si and Han Fei nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with Zhao Kuo's words.
That night, Zhao Kuo and others entered the inn in Chencheng that specializes in entertaining diplomatic envoys.
The next day, the King of Chu held a special court meeting.
