(Ps: The new book "Recasting Rivers and Mountains" has been uploaded, please friends support. Don't dare to promise anything else, just dare to say a little bit, it will bring a lot of historical anecdotes to friends.)
"Your Majesty, this minister dare not say anything." Guo Kai pretended to be clear.

King Zhao snorted and said, "I told you to tell me."

Guo Kai responded and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if General Li Mu is replaced or General Li Mu is killed, it will be detrimental to our country Zhao."

King Zhao nodded slightly, and said: "Although Li Mu wants to be king, I feel very unhappy in my heart, but I also know that General Li Mu is indispensable to our country of Zhao. Let's go on."

"The king is a sage! Li Mu disobeyed the king, but the king didn't care about it at all. He is an honest and benevolent king, and I am very grateful." Guo Kai flattered Zhao Wang's frowning brows. Taking the opportunity to speak, he said: "Your Majesty, I think I should warn General Li Mu and ask him to have a long memory, so that he will never ask for a king again."

According to what Guo Kai thought, he originally wanted King Zhao to kill Li Mu, but Zhou Chong changed it to warn Li Mu.It's no wonder that it is too difficult to ask Zhao Wang to kill Li Mu. Although Li Mu has the suspicion of being a king, he is for the public and the country after all. It is clear that it is simply impossible.It was based on this consideration that Zhou Chong asked Guo Kai to speak to King Zhao and warn Li Mu. Such a treatment was exactly what King Zhao wanted.

"How to warn?" Zhao Wang asked.

Guo Kai replied: "Knock the mountain and shake the tiger!"

"What is the method of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger?" King Zhao asked for advice.

Zhou Chong had already thought of this plan for him, and Guo Kai replied according to Zhou Chong's design: "Your Majesty, General Li Mu opposes Qin's road construction. Although this matter is beneficial to our Zhao State, if our Zhao State sends people to negotiate, Qin will not agree."

King Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, it is simply impossible for Qin to give up building roads. The widow has no choice but to send someone there."

Guo Kai praised the sage, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that our country of Zhao should also build a road, connecting the road of Qin State in the west and Handan in the east."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Wang shouted: "If this road is completed, it will not be cheap for Qin State. If Qin's tiger and wolf army follow this road and approach Handan, the consequences will be disastrous."

Guo Kai pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Douming asks you, Your Majesty, to finish speaking."

"You tell me." Zhao Wang was straightforward.

According to Zhou Chong's analysis, Guo Kai said: "Your Majesty, I think that this road should not only be repaired, but also well done. There are many benefits in it. Please also ask your Majesty to carefully observe it."

"What's the benefit? Tell me." King Zhao became interested.

Guo Kai responded, and said: "One can warn General Li Mu, let him know that the king is not being threatened by others, that the king is the king of the Zhao country, and everything is under the control of the king."

What king doesn't like to be in control?If a king cannot control everything, he must be an incompetent king.The more he is a fool, the more he wants to control everything. Zhao Wang is exactly this kind of person. This can be said in his heart. He nodded and said: "It should be so!"

Guo Kai went on to continue, saying: "Qin is always strong and Zhao is weak. My country of Zhao was frightened when I heard the name of Qin. The defeat of Changping wiped out more than [-] troops. It is a great shame for my country! , I think about it today, and my heart still hurts. If my country of Zhao also builds roads and connects with the road of Qin, it will be like showing the determination of my country to resist to the tiger and wolf Qin, and my country of Zhao will be revived in the hands of the king. Heroic."

Zhao Wang was a little hesitant, and said: "Although the determination is good, it is difficult to achieve."

Guo Kaili said: "Your Majesty, dare to ask, why did King Wuling want to ride and shoot in Hu Fu?"

The king of Wu Ling, the hero of the generation, the key figure in Zhao Guo's becoming stronger, the moment he mentioned this ancestor, Zhao Wang's eyes lit up, and said: "Wu Ling Wang led his troops to fight against the barbarians. He was defeated and captured. He planned to escape. Returning to the State of Zhao. King Wuling realized that the toga and sleeves in the Central Plains were not neat enough to be used in battle, so under pressure he ordered the whole country to ride and shoot in Hu clothes. , I Zhao Guo sent 40 more elite soldiers, defeated the Hu people in one fell swoop, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. The princes were frightened when they heard that I strengthened Zhao.

This is all the pride of Zhao Guo. As soon as he said it, Zhao Wang was full of vigor and heroism.Guo Kai took the opportunity to talk about things, and said: "Since the king knows about Wu Ling Wang, why not follow Wu Ling Wang's actions, strengthen our Zhao country, and revive Wu Ling Wang's glory. I dare to speculate, Qin Guo destroyed South Korea, the next one must be It is my country of Zhao, and the time left by the King of Qin to the king is running out, if the king cannot inspire the fighting spirit of the army and the people, my country of Zhao will be destroyed in a blink of an eye." Kneeling on the ground, touching the ground with his head, he apologized, and said: " Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask your Majesty to punish you."

Zhao Wang not only did not intend to blame him, but also helped him up, and said with a smile: "Guo Qing is a loyal minister! Your words are right! What you said about building roads is to show Qiang Qin that we, Zhao Guo, vowed to fight to the death. It is a good thing to have both, and it is negotiable!"

What king does not love merit?Not to mention the king, but in daily life, if there is a good thing, there are not so many people to fight for it. This is an iron rule, and no one can change it.Guo Kai said things based on this, no, it should be said that Zhou Chong designed it based on this, Zhao Wang still has a reason not to fall into the trap.

Guo Kai pretended to be infecting Zhao Wang with joy, and said: "Your Majesty, you see that the ministers are all excited for you, and can't wait to rush into the army immediately. Your Majesty, I think there is still a benefit. This road Once it is built, Xianyang and Handan can communicate with each other, which is convenient for merchants to communicate with each other, and is conducive to enriching the country and strengthening the army. As long as the king gives an order, our army gathers in the west, and there are wise kings, and there will be no problem in guarding for more than ten years. With these ten years, our country of Zhao will become strong again."

These words are not unreasonable, but very reasonable. If it is possible to win more than ten years, Qin and Zhao can communicate with each other, and things that are beneficial to both sides will have an unpredictable effect on the improvement of Zhao's national strength.

King Zhao could see the benefits clearly, and said with a smile, "Sanli, there are so many benefits to this road, why can't Li Mu understand it?"

Guo Kai took the opportunity to slander Li Mu, and said: "Your Majesty, the generals are like this. If there is any trouble, they will tell them that Qin is a tiger and wolf. Otherwise, how can he make the generals listen to him during the march?"

The joy on Zhao Wang's face faded a bit, he bit his lip and said nothing.After a while, he made up his mind and said: "This road must be repaired, it must be repaired. However, there is one thing that must be done, and that is, will the Qin Congress give us time?"

In order to revive Zhao Guo, we must first buy time, which hits the nail on the head.

Guo laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong of the State of Qin is in Handan. Why don't you discuss it with him, it may be useful."

Zhao Wang nodded fiercely and said, "Then invite Mr. Zhou."

Guo Kai held back his amusedness and reminded King Zhao, "Your Majesty, when you see Zhou Chong, you must show the determination of Zhao Guo, and don't let Qin Guo underestimate you."

Oh my god, Zhou Chong wanted Zhao Wang to throw off his arms and do a lot of work to repair one.To do this, first of all, it is necessary to arouse King Zhao's ambition. This was all designed by Zhou Chong. Before Zhou Chong saw King Zhao, the double reeds sang pretty well.
