You said you are Cai Ze? "Zhao Kuo sent away another group of scholars to take up their posts. Looking at the man blocking him in front of him, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: This guy is too ugly!
Not only was he ugly, but he was also dressed in beggar's clothes, with only enough fabric to cover his important parts. He was dirty and exuded a strong sour smell that could be smelled from a distance.
Cai Ze was a little speechless. He said the phrase "when does a horse stop from being exhausted?" was just an exaggerated joke. He didn't expect that the horse was really exhausted.
He traveled all the way south from Yan State, and encountered robbers when passing through Dalu Ze. As a man who traveled south and north and had seen strong winds and waves, Cai Ze did not change his expression when faced with several robbers, and killed them three times, five times, five times and two times.
This time they got into trouble. There were not just one or two robbers in Dalu Ze, but a large group.
In recent years, Zhao State has been experiencing successive wars, and the people have been displaced. Thousands of robbers have gathered in Dalu Ze, and even the local county magistrate has no way to do anything.
Cai Ze could only flee all the way, and finally escaped after his horse ran to death. Then he walked for another day and night before reaching Handan.
Cai Ze originally wanted to go to the recruitment hall. When he entered the city, he happened to see Zhao Kuo sending a group of scholars out of the city, so he stood not far away and watched. After confirming that Zhao Kuo respected scholars very much, he came over. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Zhao Kuo could judge people by their appearance.
It is said that since the recruitment order was issued, scholars have continued to come to seek refuge. Zhao Kuo insisted on a principle that regardless of their ability, these scholars must be received in person and given a banquet, and then arranged for different positions according to their wishes and abilities.
Counting the Shangdang, Zhao State has added five new counties. Each county needs a large number of officials. Moreover, Xunzi is constantly killing people these days, and a lot of positions are vacant in the country. No matter how many scholars come, they will have their positions arranged.
Zhao Kuo would give each scholar a book as a gift. After arranging official positions, they would send them out of the city together.
At this moment, all scholars have a belief in their hearts that scholars should die for their confidants.
More and more scholars came to seek refuge these days, and Zhao Kuo was too busy to stop every day. Unfortunately, none of these scholars left a name in history.
But if the person in front of him is really Cai Ze, it will make up for Zhao Kuo's regret.
This is definitely the biggest talent Zhao Kuo has ever recruited.
Historically, Cai Ze briefly served as the prime minister of Qin. Later, he retired bravely and was named Gangchengjun. He served as an assistant to the four generations of kings: King Zhao, King Xiaowen, King Zhuangxiang, and the First Emperor.
Although he is not as good as Fan Ju, Lu Buwei and others, he is still a rare talent.
The disadvantage is that it ruins the appearance of the city.
But it doesn't matter to Zhao Kuo, let alone barely look like a human being, so what if he doesn't look like a human being? As long as you have talent.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of my name?" Cai Ze said strangely: Has my reputation spread to the Kingdom of Zhao?
"I have admired you, Sir, for a long time." Zhao Kuo said solemnly, and then looked at Cai Ze in confusion, "But... why would Sir do this?"
"Well, to be honest with you, your Majesty, on the way..." Cai Ze sighed and recounted what happened along the way. He felt a little regretful in his heart that he didn't come to Handan through the recruitment hall in Wuyang, otherwise it would never have been like this.
"Is the banditry in our country Zhao so serious?" Zhao Kuo's face darkened.
"Your Majesty, Dalu Ze was once the border between our Zhao State and Zhongshan State. Banditry has existed since ancient times. Later, our country annexed Zhongshan, and the banditry gradually disappeared. However, in recent years, due to wars, people have been in dire straits, and banditry has begun again." Liu Ping He said with his hands raised.
Since ancient times, large marshes have been prone to banditry. For example, Daluze in Zhao State, Juye Ze in Qi State, and Yunmeng Ze in Chu State (most of which now belong to Qin State) are all infested with bandits. Even if they send a large army to conquer them, it will be useless. , After one crop is wiped out, there is another crop, no matter how hard it is, it cannot be wiped out completely.
"Send people to recruit people, and allocate land to those who are willing to farm. For those who refuse to be recruited, let Hou Ying and Zhu Hai be responsible for conquering." Zhao Kuo said.
Most of the bandits were common people who could not survive, and Zhao Kuo certainly could not kill these people.
As for some people with a bone on the back of their head, Zhao Kuo could only say sorry.
"No." Liu Ping cupped his hand and went down to make arrangements.
"It was my fault that I almost caused your life. I apologize to you." Zhao Kuo untied his robe and put it on Cai Ze. He bowed and said solemnly.
"Don't dare." Cai Ze was a little frightened and quickly took off his robe. However, when he grabbed the robe with his hand, a palm print suddenly appeared on the clean robe. Cai Ze retracted his hand in embarrassment, not knowing what to do. good.
"Sir, get in the car first and follow me into the city." Zhao Kuo helped Cai Ze into the car without hesitation, and then he walked next to Cai Ze, as if he didn't smell the pungent stench.
Cai Ze looked at Zhao Kuo and saw no pretense on Zhao Kuo's face.
At this moment, Cai Ze decided to follow Zhao Kuo for the rest of his life!
After bathing and changing clothes, Cai Ze put on the Zhu Tong colored robes commonly worn by Zhao nobles, and was led down to the main hall by his servants.
The bronze cauldron and banquet had already been set up.
Yu Xin and Wei Wuji, who had just finished handling the matter, as well as Lian Po, Jia Yan and others who had nothing to do, also came over to eat.
Tian Dan and Le Yi were both military generals, and Li Mu rested in Handan for half a month and rushed to Northern Xinjiang two days ago.
Only Lian Po and Jia Yan did nothing. In order to be lazy, they insisted on saying that they did not know how to handle government affairs.
Zhao Kuo still believes that ordinary generals cannot handle government affairs. At their level, even if they cannot handle it as well as civil servants of the same level, they can still handle it.
But considering that they had been fighting for such a long time, Zhao Kuo did not force it.
"I heard that Sir once compared himself to Fan Ju, the Prime Minister of Qin. Fan Ju once offered the King of Qin the strategy of making distant contacts and attacking at close range, which made Qin almost dominate the world. I wonder what Sir, what can you teach me?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Cai Ze immediately understood that Zhao Kuo's test was coming, and where he would be in the future would depend on this test.
Cai Ze put down his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and slowly said four words:
"Attack from the south to the north!"
"Attack from the south to the north?" Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, he sat up straight and bowed, "Sir, please elaborate."
Yu Xin and others also looked at Cai Ze, their eyes full of surprise.
"Ally with Han, Wei and Chu in the south, defend Qin in the west, attack Yan and Qi in the north, and completely occupy Hebei and Qi. Use the wealth of Hebei and Qi to replace the war horses of Yan and Yan , with the natural dangers of Taihang and Heshui, the prestige of the king, the famous generals of Zhao, and the skill of Zhao people, we will surely be able to unify the world."
Cai Ze's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Sir, you are really my king's Guan Zhong." Zhao Kuo said with great joy, "Now our Zhao State has formed an alliance with South Korea's Wei State, but the Chu State is a little dissatisfied with my Zhao State because of the last attack on Qin. I wonder what your master's plan is. ?」
"Although the Chu State is large, the nobles in the country cannot lose their power. You only need to bribe a few nobles to successfully form an alliance with the Chu State," Cai Ze said.
"Your Majesty, Su Dai has been living in Handan recently. Perhaps Su Dai can be used as an envoy to Chu." Yu Xin said with a cupped hand.
"Su Dai?" Zhao Kuo was a little embarrassed.
Many people may not have heard of the name Su Dai, but when it comes to his brother, almost everyone doesn't know that he is Su Qin, who has the seal of the Six Kingdoms.
Although Su Dai is not as good as his brother Su Qin, he is also a famous political strategist in the world. But the problem is that Su Dai is now over eighty.
Although his body seems to be relatively strong, at this age, it may be gone soon. After all, Su Dai is not an extraordinary level strongman like Sima Cuo. It is still difficult to live for more than a hundred years.
"Su Dai should stay in Handan for retirement, and don't let him travel hard." Zhao Kuo shook his head.
"I would like to go to Chu in person." Cai Ze leaned over and said.
"Okay, then I will send you as an envoy to Chu. I wonder what you need, sir?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I only need a thousand pieces of paper."
