"Your Majesty, this minister dare not say anything." Guo Kaifei made a false clearance.

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

Guo Kaiying said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be detrimental to our Zhao State if we replace General Li Mu or kill General Li Mu."

King Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Although Li Mu wants to be the king, I feel very unhappy, but I also know that General Li Mu is indispensable to our Zhao State. Let's continue."

"The king is wise! Li Mu offended the king, but the king is not concerned at all. He is a kind and kind king. I am impressed him." Guo Kai flattered King Zhao's frowning and relaxed a few points, and took the opportunity to speak, saying, "Your Majesty, I think you should warn General Li Mu to have a long memory and not ask for the king again in the future."

According to Guo Kai's thought, he wanted King Zhao to kill Li Mu, but Zhou Chong modified it to warn Li Mu. This is no wonder, asking King Zhao to kill Li Mu is actually too difficult. Although Li Mu was suspected of seeking a king, he was for the public and the country. If it caused a disaster, the pressure to oppose it would be too great. Although King Zhao was stupid, it was impossible to see this point. It was precisely based on this consideration that Zhou Chong asked Guo Kai to advise King Zhao and warned Li Mu that such a solution was just in line with King Zhao's wishes.

"How to warn?" King Zhao asked.

Guo Kai replied: "Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!"

"How can you knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?" King Zhao asked for a plan.

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

King Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, it is impossible to ask Qin to give up the construction of roads. I was forced to send someone because of helplessness."

Guo Kaizang said a saintly and then said, "Your Majesty, I think our Zhao State should also build a road, connecting the Qin State to the west and Handan to the east."

"Nonsense!" King Zhao shouted: "If this road is completed, it will not be cheaper than Qin. If the tiger and wolf army of Qin follow this road and head straight to Handan, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Guo Kai apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I will ask you to say the truth."

"Tell me." King Zhao was just right.

According to Zhou Chong's analysis, Guo Kai said: "The king, I think this road must not only be repaired, but also be repaired. There are many benefits in it. Please check it out."

"What are the benefits? Tell me." King Zhao's interest came.

Guo Kaiying said, "One can warn General Li Mu, letting him know that the king is not threatened by others, that the king is the king of Zhao, and everything is under the control of the king."

Which king doesn't like to control everything? If a king cannot control everything, he must be an incompetent king. The more he is a tyrant, the more he wants to control everything. King Zhao is such a person. This sentence can be said to him. He nodded and said, "That's what it should be!"

Guo Kai continued to say, "Qin has always been strong but Zhao is weak. Our Zhao State was scared when we heard of the name of Qin. The defeat of Changping was that more than 400,000 troops were wiped out. It is a shame for our Zhao State! Although we have been thinking about it for decades, I still feel heartbroken today. If our Zhao State also built roads and were connected with the Qin State's roads, it would be no different to show our Zhao State's determination to resist to the death. Our Zhao State will regain its might in the hands of the king."

King Zhao was quite hesitant and said, "Although the determination is good, it is difficult to achieve it."

Guo Kaili tempted: "I dare to ask the king, why did King Wuling want to archery in Hu clothing?"

The king of Wuling was a hero, a key figure in Zhao's becoming stronger. When he mentioned this ancestor, King Zhao's eyes shone brightly and said, "King Wuling led his troops to fight with the Hu people, was defeated and captured, and designed to flee back to Zhao. King Wuling realized that the wide robe and sleeves in the Central Plains were not flexible enough and were inconvenient to fight. Under pressure, he ordered Hu uniforms across the country to ride and shoot. All the people of Zhao countries wanted to wear Hu uniforms and ride horses and shoot arrows like Hu people. Not long after, our Zhao country produced 400,000 more elite soldiers, defeating the Hu people in one fell swoop, and spreading the land for thousands of miles. The princes were frightened when they heard about my name as strong Zhao, and even the strong Qin did not dare to offend the border."

These are all the proud things of Zhao State. When it comes to Zhao, King Zhao is full of energy and Ying Feng is suddenly overwhelmed. Guo Kai took the opportunity to talk about the matter and said, "When the king knows about King Wuling, why not follow the King Wuling's journey, strengthen our Zhao State, and restore the mighty style of King Wuling. I dare to guess that if Qin State destroys Han, the next one must be my Zhao State. The King of Qin has not left much time for the king. If the king cannot arouse the fighting spirit of the military and civilians, my Zhao State will be destroyed in a blink of an eye." Kneeled on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and apologized for guilt, and said, "My king, I dare to ask the king to punish him."

Not only did the King of Zhao not blame him, he also helped him up and said with a smile: "Guo Qing is really a loyal minister! You are just right in your opinion! What you said about building a road not only shows the strong Qin Dynasty's determination to fight to the death, but also shows the military and civilians that I am not afraid of Qin's ambitions. This is a good thing that can be discussed!"

Which king doesn’t like credit? Not to mention kings, in daily life, if there are good things, not so many people will compete for it. This is an iron rule and no one can change it. Guo Kai used this to say it, no, it should be said that Zhou Chong designed it, and King Zhao still has the principle of not falling into the trap.

Guo Kai pretended to be so happy to attract King Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, you see, I am excited for you, and I wish I could immediately rush into the thousands of troops. King Majesty, I think there is still a benefit. After this road is built, Xianyang and Handan can communicate with each other, facilitate merchants' exchanges, and help enrich the country and strengthen the army. As long as the king gives orders, our army gathers in the west, and if the king is wise, there will be no problem in staying for more than ten years. With these ten years, our Zhao Kingdom will become stronger again."

This is not unreasonable, but very reasonable. If we can really fight for more than ten years, the mutual communication between Qin and Zhao, and the favorable things on both sides will have an unpredictable effect on improving Zhao's national strength.

King Zhao could see the benefits clearly and smiled and said, "Three benefits, there are so many benefits in this way. 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, and they will tell them that they are attacking Qin, the tiger and wolf. Otherwise, how could he be powerful and let the generals listen to him in the march?"

The joy on King Zhao's face faded a little, and he bit his lip without saying anything. After the formation, he made up his mind and said, "This road needs to be repaired, and he must be repaired. However, there is one thing that has to be done, that is, will Qin give us time?"

To revive Zhao, we must first gain time, which is a key point.

Guo Kai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong of Qin is in Handan. Why don't you discuss it with him? It may be useful."

King Zhao nodded suddenly and said, "Then I'll invite Mr. Zhou."

Guo Kai held back the funny thing and reminded King Zhao, saying, "Your Majesty, when you see Zhou Chong, you must show our Zhao State's determination and not let Qin State underestimate it."
