The fact that he gained allegiance from Yiqiu Kingdom was undoubtedly an unexpected good news for Zhao Kuo.

In the following time, Zhao Kuo began to continue his path to consolidate power.

The military affairs were mainly left to Xu Li and Li Mu to take charge. After all, this was Zhao Kuo's old subordinate for many years, and he had long grown to the point where he could stand alone.

Now Zhao Kuo rarely does specific matters. He basically explains the matter to his subordinates and then controls the overall situation himself.

Otherwise, if Zhao Kuo does so many things every day, wouldn’t he be exhausted to death?

Only when the subordinates can't handle it is the time when Zhao Kuo comes forward to make an idea.

As for the current Zhao State, the most urgent task is undoubtedly the assimilation of the old land of Wei State.

This assimilation did not go very smoothly.

Judging from the reports of officials from various places and the secret observation of Nightingale, the Wei people were quite resistant to becoming a "Zhao people".

This matter starts with the Jin State back then.

In the Jin Dynasty, the three families of Wei, Zhao and Han all belonged to the great nobles of Jin State, that is, the "Qi clan".

Later, after the fierce internal strife, the Jin Dynasty's noble family decreased from more than a dozen to six, and then from six to three, namely the Wei, Zhao and Han.

After a long internal strife, the Wei, Zhao and Han families felt: "If I continue to fight with the other two, ours may not be the one who survives to the end."

So, the three nobles signed an agreement to divide the territory of Jin and establish a country on their own.

This is the famous "Three Families Dividing Jin" in history, and this time the Three Families Dividing Jin is also recognized as the dividing point between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

After the three families divided Jin, which country was the most powerful?

The answer is Wei State.

In the early days of the first generation of the king Wei Wenhou, the second generation of the king Wei Wuhou, and the third generation of the king Wei Huiwang, the Wei Kingdom, for about seventy or eighty years, the Wei Kingdom has always been the most powerful country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period and the first overlord in the Warring States Period.

At that time, the State of Wei beat Qin in the west and occupied Xihe County. The State of Qi in the east was defeated and retreated. The State of Chu in the south was also beaten by Wei in various ways.

Where is Zhao State?

At that time, Zhao State was like Han, basically belonging to Wei State's younger brother. He either followed the eldest brother of Wei State to fight. If he was disobedient, he would be beaten by Wei State's elder brother.

The glory of Wei State lasted for a long time until the late period of King Hui of Wei, when King Wei of Qi appointed the golden combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and severely damaged the Wei State through the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, killing the Wei State's number one general Pang Juan, and annihilated more than 100,000 elite troops of Wei State, which made Wei State fall into decline.

After the decline of Wei, several decades later, Zhao State slowly rose under the reform of King Wuling of Zhao's "Hu Clothing, Horseback and Shooting".

So in the eyes of the Wei people, they belong to "an old and wealthy family with wealthy ancestors and backgrounds", while Zhao belongs to "no background. They were our Wei brothers, but now they are lucky enough to become nouveau riche."

This view dominated the Wei Kingdom, which made the Wei people feel very unhappy.

My former younger brother has now actually reincarnated his elder brother's property and has to turn all his descendants into his younger brother's family members. How can I bear it?

In addition, the extremely famous wise minister Xinlingjun in the Wei Kingdom committed suicide, which made the Wei people who originally admired Xinlingjun even more hate Zhao Kingdom.

Several months have passed, and there were not many rebellions in the territory of Wei because of the Zhao army, but there were more and more cases of lip service and disobeying orders.

The officials of Zhao who were originally excited to come to Daliang and other places were helplessly discovered that no one listened to their orders, no one implemented them, no one supervised them, no one was responsible for them... In short, Zhao State's establishment of the ruling order of Wei State was very unsuccessful! This was also mentioned in the court discussion. Zhou Shaofen, who had been for a long time, immediately spoke up and took this opportunity to question Zhao Kuo severely.

This is how Xiangbang's position is. Although he can summarize the national government affairs, he is also an omnipotent scapegoat. If anything goes wrong, Xiangbang can take the blame.

So, Zhao Kuo set off the next day after the court discussion and headed south to Daliang City.

On the carriage, Yiqiuwei curiously licked the window, pointed to the snow outside and smiled at Zhao Kuo, "Husband, this snow is so heavy!"

Although it was performing official duties, this time it was not a war, so Zhao Kuo could of course take the woman with him.

Among the three wives and concubines, Tian Wan needs to sit in the mansion to handle government affairs. Qiu'er is not a person who likes to go out, so the task of accompanying Zhao Kuo fell on Yiqiuwei, the youngest and most active concubine.

Zhao Kuo looked at Yiqiuwei with a smile. She had been married to Zhao Kuo for several years, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhao Kuo. However, perhaps because Yiqiuwei likes sports, her identity not only did not regress at all, but instead changed from a girl to a young woman because of her age, and she had more mature style.

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand, held Yiquwei in his arms, and smiled and said, "It's just the first snow now. I'm afraid it's already snowing heavily in Yiqu Country?"

Yiqiuwei was not shy at all. She turned around and rode on Zhao Kuo in a horse-riding position, and smiled and said, "Of course. In the past, I always liked to play snowball fights with Brother Wang. Unfortunately, Yiqiu was occupied by the Qin people, so there was rarely such an opportunity."

Zhao Kuo felt the amazing elasticity of the beautiful woman's body in his arms, and gently tightened his arm, laughed and said, "Yiqiu Kingdom has now got rid of Qin. With the support of our Zhao Kingdom in the future, life will get better and better."

Yiquwei sighed and said to Zhao Kuo with an orchid-like breath: "Husband, can the Yiqu Kingdom really be destroyed?"

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You just don't understand."

It sounds good for Yiqiu people to set up a country, but what about it?

Over the years, the people of Yiqu have either been bullied by the Huns or Yuezhi or ruled by the Qin people.

Let me tell you the truth. If a small country like Yiqiu becomes independent, it will become the target of enslavement by other powerful forces.

It is better to actively integrate into our China and become one of the Chinese people.

In this case, even if anyone dares to oppress the Yiqiu people in the future, it is oppressing the entire Chinese nation.

Think about it, how powerful is the power of the entire Chinese nation with more than 30 million people?

By that time, Yiqu people will be able to rest assured.”

Yiqiuwei was also stunned when Zhao Kuo said that.

After a while, Yiqiuwei nodded slowly and said, "Husband is right, Yiqiu people... After all, they are still too weak.

I am just worried that those tribes have long been used to being wild, and will they not accept the rules and cause some things to happen."

Yiqiuwei had a wildness on her body, and she was just a woman. You can imagine what the men from Yiqiu Kingdom should look like.

As for Yiquwei's brother Yiqusheng, because he was burdened with the fate of the entire clan, Yiqusheng is often as mature as a Central Plains politician, and he is an exception among Yiqu people.

Yiqiuwei thought for a while and said with a smile: "But it's good, with the care of her husband, they shouldn't have any problems in the end."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Of course."

Yiqiuwei looked at Zhao Kuo and suddenly smiled and said, "Husband, it's great to have you!"

Zhao Kuo could not hold back when he looked at Yiquwei's budding appearance?

After a moment, Yiqiuwei exclaimed.

"Husband, this is still in the car!"

"It's okay, it's the old driver who drives, his own people!"

...It is not easy to run around in the snow, but it is not a big problem for Zhao Kuo.

Under the escort of three thousand Chiyou's army, Zhao Kuo and his party arrived in Daliang City in a mighty manner.

Daliang City, once the capital of Wei State, is now the capital of Dang County of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo pointed to Daliang City and smiled at Yiquwei, "Did you see it?"

This is the country that your husband has built!”

Yiqiuwei laughed, and her eyes looked at Zhao Kuo full of admiration.

Others say such words are bragging, but Zhao Kuo is different, because this is indeed the country that Zhao Kuo has captured! Outside Daliang City, many officials lined up, waiting for Zhao Kuo's arrival.

Among them, Mai Bo, the governor of Dang County, was the most nervous.

Mai Bo is an official of Zhao Kuo's faction. His political achievements have always been quite good. He has managed the former capital of Zhao State in an orderly manner, so he was appointed as the county magistrate of Dang County by Zhao Kuo.

As a result, after several months of coming to Dang County, the situation did not open at all. Instead, Zhao Kuo came again, which inevitably gave Mai Bo a bad premonition.

"I just hope that Wu Xinjun will come this time and don't hold me too much responsibility..." Mai Bo wiped the sweat from his head, looked at Zhao Kuo who had already walked out of the carriage, and hurried forward: "I have met Wu Xinjun!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Mai Bo with a panic in front of him, and felt speechless.

This Mai Bo has done a good job in Jinyang, so why did he get fucked when he comes to Daliang City?

I can only say that some people are suitable for working in an atmosphere where the people are willing to cooperate with him. When they come to such places where the people are unwilling to cooperate with him, they will be blind.

Although Zhao Kuo complained in his heart, he still smiled on his face: "The Mai County Mai County Mai doesn't have to be too polite. Let's go. It's so cold outside, let's talk later when we go to the city."

Mai Bo hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the official will lead the way for Wu Xinjun."

Behind Mai Bo, a group of Dang County officials rushed up to salute Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo had long been used to this kind of scene, so he naturally had a smile to deal with it.

It is worth mentioning that many of the people present were all demoted to the State of Wei before. These guys had seen how Zhao Kuo conquered Daliang City and destroyed the State of Wei, so they were naturally respectful to Zhao Kuo.

After a while, Zhao Kuo got on the carriage again and entered the city under the guidance of many local officials.

After entering Daliang City, Zhao Kuo did not turn against each other immediately or take any extreme actions. Instead, he smiled and chatted with the officials for a while, and then had dinner in the mansion of Mai Bo, the governor of Dang County.

Everything looked quite peaceful, giving people the feeling that Zhao Kuo was just coming for a routine inspection this time.

Later that day, a secret meeting was being held in a secret room of a mansion in Daliang City.

A voice was heard indifferently: "I heard that the city of Handan is very dissatisfied with the process of Zhao's transformation in our Daliang City, so Zhao Kuo was sent here by the King of Zhao."

The person who spoke in the language of Wei, and he called him "King of Zhao" rather than the king. It is obvious that his position is a "man of Wei".

Another man snorted and said in a rough voice: "When is it his turn to Zhao Kuo to cover the sky with one hand?

We Wei people are the masters of Daliang. Even if he can conquer us with force, can he still conquer all the Wei people in Daliang City with force?"

The calm voice obviously disagreed: "What you said is wrong. It is said that the intelligence system under Zhao Kuo is quite powerful. If he discovers the news that we gather here, we will all die."

A rough voice sneered: "How could he find out?"

Don't worry, Daliang City is full of us Wei people. Even if some of them become traitors, most of them are still loyal to Wei.
To be continued...
