"Look..." After Zhao Kuo asked his guests to leave, he knelt on the ground regardless of his image, stretched out his hand, and then sketched on the loess. He first drew a wheelbarrow on the side and drew a few more from different angles. Du's eyesight was very poor. He almost lay on the ground, approaching very close, squinted his eyes to observe the wheelbarrow drawn by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo kept explaining loudly in his ear, dancing and gestureing.

"Shaojun, I can try to make it, but there is not enough wood in my house. Please wait for me for a while. I will cut some wood today..." Du said, his voice was very strange. Perhaps hearing would also affect his speech ability. You must listen carefully to understand what he was saying. Zhao Kuo nodded and said loudly: "I will send someone to help you cut wood."

Du Shu smiled honestly, and he shook his head, "Shaojun, I heard that any industry has its own tricks, and this wood is also of particularity. Let me do it myself, I will be able to complete it soon."

Hearing him say this, Zhao Kuo agreed. He took out some coins from his sleeve, thought about it, and then put them away, let Du stay here. He went to the warehouse in the front yard, searched for a while, and then walked out with some corn. He handed the heavy bag to Du, and Du subconsciously took it, and then hurriedly returned the bag to Zhao Kuo as if it was burned.

"If you take these stones of millet, you will survive by relying on your own skills. I cannot help but pay."

"Shaojun, we have accepted a lot of your kindness. How can I ask for your reward again?" Du shook his head and did not dare to accept it. Zhao Kuo said, "If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy." Du then took the corn from his hand and thanked Ma Fuzi several times. Ge walked in, took him with his hand and took him out of the courtyard. After leaving the courtyard, he recognized the way. He has lived here for nearly forty years and knows it well.

Under the locust tree in the village, several old men looked at the millet sent by Du, "It's not easy for you, the food is getting more and more precious, so you'd better hide it at home. We all have enough food."

"This is given by the horse cougar. Please accept it. I have left enough." Du Dai looked ahead and said with a silly smile.

Several shepherds passed by in the distance. When they saw this scene, they all laughed and said loudly, "This fool Du is here to deliver food again?" Someone shouted, "Hey, Du, we haven't eaten for several days. Do you want to help us?" Everyone burst into laughter.

Du slowly turned around, as if looking for their direction. He slowly raised his hand, holding the millet in his hand, "I have that much. If I need it, please take it."

Several shepherds' faces suddenly turned red, and they whispered insults, hurriedly fled here, leaving only one Du, standing under the locust tree, and stretched out his hand in a daze.

.........

Jicheng is not as cold as the countries think. In the eyes of the countries, the level of civilization of Yan State is basically no different from that of Qin State. They are just barbarians. However, Jicheng is quite distinctive in terms of architectural style. Most of the palace buildings in Yan State are made of Taotie pattern and half-tiled tiles, and the patterns on the walls show a different beauty. This is different from the Qin people, and the old Qin people didn't care much about this.

At this moment, Yan Xiang was receiving a distinguished guest from the northwest. Su Fu was very old. He was a good friend of Pang Nuan from Zhao State. From this we can see his age. Of course, he is still much younger than Pang Nuan. Although this prime minister is old, he is not thin, but is a bit obese and strong. He sat in the upper position, and the mutton in the cauldron in front of him was rolling together and foaming again.

Li Fu suddenly pulled out a dagger, stabbed the mutton in the cauldron, picked it up and bit it in big mouthfuls, which scared the distinguished guest sitting opposite him. Li Fu raised his head and looked at the distinguished guest with a grin, and then said: "I heard that the Qin people are brave, the Zhao people are cowardly, and Zheng Zhu of Zhao was sent to Qin. If things fail, he committed suicide in anger. You are now afraid of a small dagger in my hand. What is the reason?"

The distinguished guest smiled and said, "Although I am an envoy of Qin, I am not a brave Qin person, I am a Wei person."

Li Fu was stunned, then laughed, shook his head helplessly and said, "I was originally a Qi person. Now this behavior is not the same as the barbarians of Yan State? Since you are consuming the salary of Qin State, how can you not be like a Qin person?"

The distinguished guest hurriedly bowed and said, "The reason why you are like a Yan man is that you have put your efforts into Yan State. Many of your decrees have been implemented in Yan State, making Yan State gradually stronger. You think you are a Yan State. But a mediocre person like me has not done anything that is beneficial to the Qin people, so he still maintains the appearance of a Wei State." Li Ku smiled and said, "Make Yan State strong, so that the princes dare not underestimate the people of Yan State. Now in Zhao State, not in Yan."

"No, General Le Yi showed the courage of Yan to the princes, but he did not have the ability to govern Yan. Yan had very little land, not much city, not enough arable land, and not enough people. This is the reason why Yan was not strong. After you became the prime minister of Yan, you sent generals to attack the Hu people and expanded the land for thousands of miles. You set up Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other counties, which made Yan really have a foundation that could be strong."

"It seems that you are the one who made Yan State strong."

The messenger said respectfully, and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did you ask me for something?" The messenger shook his head and said, "I came here just to talk to you about the matter in Zhao State."

"Please tell me."

"You know that Zhao people supported King Zhao as the king of Yan State. At that time, Yan State had a very good relationship with Zhao State, but Gongsun Cao killed King Hui, which made Zhao State dissatisfied with Yan State. You used to join Gongsun Cao. After he supported the current King of Yan, you became the prime minister. Zhao State wanted to send people to kill Gongsun Cao several times, and he also insulted and contempt the current King of Yan."

"Qin State does not border Yan State. The power of Qin State is not threatening to Yan State. Zhao State is different. Zhao State hates Yan State for a long time. If Zhao State defeats Qin State and becomes stronger, what will Yan State fall to?" asked the envoy.

Li raised her face and thought seriously, then asked: "Does Qin want to destroy Zhao with Yan?"

The envoy raised his head and said, "The Qin army and the Zhao army confronted Changping. Zhao had no food or youth. If you could send people to attack Zhao at this time, Zhao would not have any ability to resist. You could easily capture Zhao's city. After Zhao's demise, Qin would be willing to divide Dai County and Yunzhong County to Yan. Yan and Qin have always been very friendly. The two countries have also given gifts to each other and sent envoys many times. Please think about it carefully."

Li Fu frowned and pondered for a long time. Suddenly he stood up and said, "Please rest for a few days here." Then a guest sent the envoy to the other courtyard to rest. Of course, the envoy was Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei entered the room and exhaled before he breathed a sigh of relief. Li Fu didn't look like a Yan man, but he did not bombard him or talk about the topic. It seemed that things were still very likely to succeed.

After seeing Lu Buwei away, Li Fu hurried to the palace. Li Fu has a high status in Yan State. The warriors guarding the palace dared not take his sword and hurriedly let it go. When Li Fu rushed into the palace, the King of Yan hugged several beauties and was drinking. When he saw Li Fu, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Li Fu to sit down, but did not let go of the beauty in his arms. He asked with a smile: "What are your instructions?"

"The young and strong people in Zhao State are all in Changping, and there is no food or grass in the country, so we can attack."
