Chapter 5 Please Behead Me
Those rough men obviously did not take this short old man seriously, even though his beard was trembling very hard. Just as Ge was about to hit these people, Di grinned and walked out of them. Di did not look at Ge and led everyone to the side of the carriage. Seeing Di, Ge put away his sword, snorted coldly, got on the carriage, and turned his head to the other direction.
The three disciples of Zhao Kuo, Di is the bravest, but he is a little too polite and talks a lot. Ge has the worst temper and is not good at dealing with others. However, he is the only one among the three disciples who can read, and can even be considered half of Zhao Kuo's enlightenment teacher. As for luck, his reputation is very bad in the entire horse uniform. Before he joined Zhao Kuo, even if he was a notorious ranger in Handan City, he did not do much evil things after he defected to Zhao Kuo.
However, he is the best at Zhao Kuo's disciples. Zhao Kuo is willing to entrust him to complete whatever he encounters. Over the years, he has never messed up anything and is diligent in his work. Zhao Kuo doesn't like his character, but he has not driven him away.
"Shaojun, I heard that virtuous people are as dazzling as torches in the dark night, which can make the corporals travel thousands of miles to surrender. These are the heroes around the horse suit. They can follow Shaojun and not be afraid of death. I ask Shaojun to keep them." Di bowed to Zhao Kuo and said before.
Ge snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. Zhao Kuo felt a little headache. This guy was causing trouble for himself and had no ambitions. What would a person who was determined to be an otaku do if he wanted so many disciples?
Zhao Kuo looked at the heroes. Most of them were strong men and wore weapons. There were many warriors in Yanzhao. These were probably all the well-known warriors in the horse server area. They looked at Zhao Kuo eagerly, and there seemed to be a flash of light in their eyes. This made Zhao Kuo even more trouble. I don’t know what this guy Di said to these people, which made them so excited. Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before standing up and facing them.
"I know that Ersanzi are all well-known heroes in the horse server. It is a happy thing for you to come and serve me, but I am just a young man without beards. I am worried that Ersanzi will do nothing to follow me."
As soon as Zhao Kuo said this, the originally lively road suddenly became silent. The heroes looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief. Even Di also widened their eyes. Among the heroes, there was a man with long face and little beard glaring at Zhao Kuo and asked, "Does Ma Fuzi think that we are following you because we are greedy for fame and fortune and to make achievements?"
Could it be that it wasn't? Zhao Kuo looked at them blankly.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo did not answer, the man suddenly pulled out the short sword from his waist, and the rest of the people also pulled out their weapons one after another. Now, Zhao Kuo was really panicked. What does this mean? Don’t you, you are going to fight me? Di, Ge! Zhao Kuo looked at his two disciples, but Di lowered his head and blushed. Ge, who was beside him, still raised his head high and ignored the situation here.
When these heroes aimed their weapons at him, Zhao Kuo was horrified and then he understood what these people wanted to do.
They are not trying to attack Zhao Kuo, they are trying to slaughter themselves!
This method is used to prove that they followed Zhao Kuo not for fame, but because of their admiration in their hearts, they came to follow him. The heroes at this time were a little different from those later. In the Yan and Zhao land, most of these heroes were from good people, not the lowest-level Qianshou. They could not be insulted. Not to mention them, even the lower-level Qianshou could not be humiliated.
What they need is not money or fame. What they need is attention and a kind of trust.
In the past, Zheng State fought with Song State. Hua Yuan, the general of Song State, slaughtered sheep and rewarded the three armies before the war. He rewarded everyone, but forgot to distribute the mutton to his master Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was very angry and believed that the general did not pay attention to him and was insulted. So, when the war started, Yang Zhen rushed into the camp of Zheng State. Hua Yuan was captured and Song State was defeated. This is why people in this era could not be humiliated.
"Stop!" Zhao Kuo shouted hurriedly.
Everyone looked at Zhao Kuo again, and Zhao Kuo quickly got off the carriage. He didn't want to see so many people die for his words. If it were Zhao Kuo, it might not matter. However, the soul from two thousand years later was not allowed to ignore life so much. He frowned, looked at these people seriously, and saluted and said, "It's Kuo's fault. Kuo has realized his mistake. Please forgive me."
After such a prayer, he was startled by these people who were not afraid of death. They hurriedly avoided them and did not receive Zhao Kuo's gift. They hurriedly bowed again, "We are all willing to follow you. We are lowly people and cannot accept your gift. Please let us follow you, drive for you, and put your horse on you."
"All right."
"Shaojun is really a Xinyi person. I have lived for so many years in vain, but I didn't come to follow you earlier!"
"I'm going to dig out one of my eyes. It turns out that the people we always want to follow live by our side!"
Everyone shouted, and some even burst into tears and burst into tears. Seeing this strange scene, Zhao Kuo did not laugh. He felt something that he had never felt in his life for more than 20 years.
...........
The most famous city of Handan is the beauty. It is a consensus in the world that the princes are all proud to marry the daughter of Zhao. Most of the beauties of Zhao are concentrated in this city of Handan. Handan is the largest city in Zhao. Here, you can see merchants from Qi, warriors from Yan, and even scholars from Chu. These people were wearing red Chu clothes and talking about "bird songs" that the Zhao people couldn't understand, and were walking on the road with swagger.
The restaurants here are not official camps like Qin, so the atmosphere is not so solemn. You can see many men sitting in restaurants and bragging about something.
"I heard from others that Ma Fuzi is a truly talented person. Ma Fuzi has been familiar with military tactics since he was a child, and no one can defeat him. Even when Ma Fujun was alive, he was not a match for Ma Fuzi. He was often speechless when he said that Zhao State had such a talent, so why did Shangjun not want him to command Zhao State's chariots and defeat the Qin State's army?"
"I heard that meat-eating people are mediocre. They are jealous of the talent of Ma Fuzi. The Qin people took our Shangdang and wanted to capture Changping. We can only defend. If Ma Fuzi could command the chariot of Zhao, how could the Qin people continue to be arrogant?" As one person said, his fist angrily hit the wooden case in front of his house. The Zhao people were not afraid of death. Since they changed their clothes and rode on the war horse, the Zhao people have never bowed their heads.
The defeat of Zhao State in the war with Qin is undoubtedly arousing the nerves of the Zhao State. Almost all the Zhao people are talking about this matter. They are very angry. They are insulted. The Zhao people cannot be humiliated. In this case, Zhao Kuo's reputation swept across the entire Zhao State. Not only in Handan, but almost in the Zhao people, Zhao Kuo's name can be heard.
The Zhao people boasted that if our horse-dressed son went to war, the Qin people would have gone home long ago. How could there be any incident of a lieutenant being captured by the Qin people?
It is said that in Yan State, there were even people from Zhao Kuo who killed people because of Zhao Kuo. The reason for the murder was that when the Zhao man was boasting about Zhao Kuo vigorously, a Yan man asked him who Zhao Kuo was? So, this man felt that Zhao Kuo... was wrong, he... was wrong. This warrior who felt that the entire Zhao State had been insulted killed the Yan man on the spot.
In a large courtyard south of Handan City, one old and one young sit facing each other.
"I followed your advice and went to find Kuo."
"But he was not happy with my words. He said, "I am his friend and he will not do anything that hurts me."
Hearing Ying Yiren's words, the elderly were stunned, stroked their beard gently, and asked in surprise: "Did he see our intentions? Didn't the young master say that he was arrogant and arrogant, willful and impulsive? How could he see through our plan?"
Ying Yiren was silent for a long time before saying, "I have known Kuo for two years, but he can't see this plan. He probably really regarded me as a friend... he was unwilling to do something that hurt me." Ying Yiren said, his expression became more complicated. The elderly looked at him helplessly. He was very optimistic about the young man in front of him, the unpopular young man, and had great ambitions in his heart.
He can bend and stretch, and even if Zhao people insult him, he can turn a blind eye. After he proposed to make a death plan on Zhao Kuo, he actually wanted to go there himself to increase the success of the plan without doubting it. Such courage is really loved by the elderly. This is the best treasure for him. However, Ying Yiren also has shortcomings, because he was not favored since childhood, and later came to Zhao State and was insulted. He was very sensitive.
Zhao Kuo just expressed some kindness to him, which made this young man who had never experienced being cared for.
"He treats me as a friend. I really don't want to do anything that hurts him. He is probably the only one in Zhao State who treats my friend sincerely. It's better for us to replace Lian Po with someone else." Ying Yiren said.
The elderly knew that this would be the case, and sighed helplessly. It was not easy to change someone. In order to support Zhao Kuo, they all had to lose everything. The savings of decades have been used to increase the reputation of this young man. Now, even the Chu State in the south has remembered the name Zhao Kuo. In addition, Zhao Kuo was recommended by Ying Yiren to Qin. If someone changed him to execute, what else is there? How can you gain the favor of the Qin people?
However, the elderly did not say that. He knew Ying Yiren's nature, so this would not convince him.
He bowed to Ying Yiren and said, "I hope you can promise me something."
Ying Yiren was about to help him up and said, "You are my teacher and shouldn't treat me with such etiquette, you said."
"I want to ask you to promise me that if one day I block your path to accomplish great things, please kill me. I don't want someone like you to delay your ambitions because of personal love. Please promise me." The elderly said seriously.
Ying Yiren clenched his fists, trembling all over his body, gritting his teeth.
"Okay...I agree."
