Every expedition is a double test of the physical and mental strength of a commander, so after Zhao Kuo returned home, he slept for three days before he slowly recovered his spirits.

There are still many things to do next, such as the implementation of rewards from the winning soldiers, the decision to dispatch military generals to the newly conquered land, the promotion of this victorious generals, etc.

This not only involves the fairness of military merit rewards and punishments, but also involves Zhao Kuo's political interests.

For this reason, Zhao Kuo also had several big fights with Lian Po.

As the only representative of Zhao Kuo's political enemies in the military, Lian Po was depressed for a while due to the failure of the Battle of Gaotang and also expressed his feelings that "I am not as good as Wu Xinjun", but he was old and stronger after all, and soon cheered up again.

Whether in politics or on the battlefield, there is no eternal victory general. This is common sense for everyone, and the only exception is Zhao Kuo.

But if Zhao Kuo was defeated, wouldn’t it be no surprise?

Perhaps it was with such belief that although Zhao Kuo's political enemies were repeatedly frustrated, they were still not defeated.

Since Zhao Kuo was the commander of the victorious army this time, Lian Po naturally did not argue against Zhao Kuo.

Therefore, among the garrisons of the five northern counties, there were Wuyuan and the garrison generals of the two counties of Jiuyuan were replaced by Zhao Kuo. Both of them were loyal to Zhao Kuo in the just-concluded battle against Yan State, and they achieved outstanding results, so they were promoted by Zhao Kuo.

After this battle, Zhao Kuo's power finally officially penetrated into the northern border cavalry that had always been difficult to reach, and slowly spread out quietly.

The war was over, summer harvest and summer seeds began, and Zhao Kuo once again entered the normal mode. He went to the General Office every day to handle some official duties. When he was resting, he would accompany his wife and children to play and stroll around. His life was very beautiful.

On this day, Zhao Kuo ches Jian Cong, accompanied by Xu Li, Li Si and Han Fei, three confidants, came to the academy.

It has been almost two years since the establishment of the Academy. With the strong support of Zhao State, many scholars and students have come from various countries.

According to the latest statistics delivered to Zhao Kuo, the Academy now has 8,000 scholars and more than 200 scholars, which is undoubtedly a very amazing number and can be comparable to some universities in later generations.

Zhao Kuo walked in the academy, and from time to time, the students could be seen shaking their heads and reciting some classics loudly, with their expressions quite intoxicating.

There are also some students walking in groups of three or three, occasionally blushing over certain issues, and their anxious and white looks filled with the vitality of young people.

Some scholars also gathered under the big tree with their students. The white-haired scholars spoke loudly about their ideas and knowledge. The students listened attentively, with some confused expressions, some infatuated, some infatuated.

Being in such an atmosphere, Zhao Kuo suddenly reminded him of his college life.

What a youthful and beautiful scene! Not only Zhao Kuo, but also Xu Li next to Zhao Kuo was quite touched and said to Zhao Kuo: "I didn't understand why the Lord was determined to be a new school in the Great Zhao. Now I have witnessed it with my own eyes, but I really understand the Lord's intention."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, if a nation wants to become stronger and continue to be strong forever, it is not enough to rely solely on force.

Force can only strengthen our body, but it can also make us savage.

We need a barbaric body, but we must never let our souls become barbaric.

Our souls should be civilized and excellent. Only in this way can we ensure our strength, maintain our pride, let the Chinese nation stand tall in the world forever, and always lead the trend of every generation of the world!"

Not only Xu Li said this, but also Li Si and Han Fei were convinced: "The Lord is far-sighted, but I am really not as good as the Lord!"

There are many scholars in this world who are as talented as Li Si and Han Fei. They are arrogant and will not bow their heads easily even when facing the king of a country.

Why is Xunqiu, a tyrant in the literary and ideological circles today, willing to hand over the two most capable disciples to Zhao Kuo? Why did Li Si and Han Fei willingly do things for Zhao Kuo?

It was not only because of Zhao Kuo's position and power, but also because of Zhao Kuo's ideal that exuded gloriousness touched them, letting them know that the goal they were striving for was not limited to the Wuxinjun Mansion, nor to the Zhao State, but for the whole world and for all the Chinese people! The interests often only attract some people who are competing for the flames and power. Only ideals can truly attract like-minded comrades! As they walked, several people came to a corner of the academy.

There are a row of houses here, which are blocked by walls. The crowds of people entering and leaving here are obviously much less than other places, and the terrain is also the most remote and unobtrusive place in the Academy.

The reason for this is of course because of the two words written on the plaque of the wall door - Mohist school.

The Confucian Xunzi is now the Confucian Xunzi as the high priest. Although Xunzi did not make too much trouble to the Mohist school by Zhao Kuo, it is not surprising that the Confucian and Mohist have been neglected here for hundreds of years.

When he walked into the yard, a strange smell filled the air. Even Zhao Kuo, who was a time traveler, didn't know how to describe this smell, as if it was the feeling of many chemical raw materials being mixed.

The supreme leader of the Mo family in the academy was naturally Fu Zhen, a young master of the Mo family who was recruited by Zhao Kuo from Qin. After Fu Zhen expressed his surrender to Zhao Kuo and secretly became a retainer of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo took it for granted, and created a very good environment for him in the academy.

Although this place is remote, it is the best place for scholars from Fu Zhen and Mohism to do research here and complete the tasks assigned to them by Zhao Kuo.

After learning that Zhao Kuo was here, his belly really appeared soon: "I have seen you!"

Looking at the belly in front of him, Zhao Kuo was shocked: "Why did you become like this?"

Nowadays, the beard is almost about to reach the waist, and the hair is also long and messy like a bird's nest. There are large and colorful spots and ink marks on the clothes, and there is an extremely strong smell on the body. It doesn't look like a dignified college priest, but like a homeless man who doesn't know how to come out of that mountain.
