Zhao State has returned to the coldest season again.
Fortunately, Zhao Ren's heart is warm in this severe cold.
The old and the weak, women and children no longer have to face the cold alone. The young and strong who have returned from the battlefield are like furnaces, radiating hot temperature from their whole bodies, lighting up one home after another. During the autumn harvest, King Zhao received a message from Ma Fujun
This letter was written in the hope that King Zhao could reduce taxes in various places and give the people time to recuperate. This was the first letter written by Ma Fujun to King Zhao. King Zhao was particularly excited after receiving the letter.
He summoned the ministers to discuss the matter proposed by Ma Fujun.
Today, Wei Wuji has almost become the public enemy of the ministers and the "villain" in the Zhao palace. As long as he supports it, everyone will oppose it. On the contrary, as long as he opposes it, everyone will support it. This kind of
Although it is puzzling to use personal preference as a criterion to decide national affairs, Wei Wuji likes it very much. Just like this time, as long as he angrily said a few words that Ma Fujun's suggestion was not applicable, a group of people would immediately refute him.
I will praise Ma Fujun's proposal to the heavens.
In this way, Wei Wuji could soon frown and angrily leave the palace, return to the courtyard, and start drinking happily again. The ministers cheered, as they once again defeated the villain and defended justice.
And overjoyed, they went to hold a banquet, chatting and laughing, to celebrate the victory over Wei Wuji, and everyone was happy.
With King Zhao's promise, the people of Zhao State should be able to have a good winter.
On this day, a carriage rushed towards Handan City in the strong wind. On the carriage was a middle-aged man who was tired of life. Even after a long journey, he did not show any signs of fatigue. He straightened his waist and raised his head.
He raised his head and looked at Handan City in front of him. He saw a familiar face in the distance. He hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, then got out of the car and walked toward him.
The person who came to greet him was none other than Yu Qing. When he saw the person coming, Yu Qing smiled, bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Xu." The person who came was none other than Xu Li. He rushed back to Handan from the clouds.
It took him more than half a year to carefully investigate the situation in various parts of Zhao State along the way. He did not tell anyone the news about his return to Handan. The reason why Yu Qing knew about it was because he received the news from the officials ahead.
Report.
Yu Qing is not too indifferent, but because he is irritable and hates evil, he has few friends in the palace. Xu Li is one of them. Xu Li was recommended by Zhao She. He is not of high origin and may not be as talented.
Yu Qing, but he is an upright person and hates evil as much as hatred. This is very similar to Yu Qing. It is probably because of this that the two can become friends.
Yu Qing was not a person who was good at talking. After meeting Xu Li, he took him into Handan. However, Xu Li talked about what he saw along the way. A huge change was taking place in various parts of Zhao State. The two of them
They were talking like this, and finally arrived at the door of Xu Li's house. Xu Li invited Yu Qing to come in as a guest, but Yu Qing couldn't help but disturb Xu Li by entering his house on the first day after he came back, so he said goodbye and left.
Xu Li's wife and daughter didn't know that Xu Li was coming back. They were sitting indoors when they heard a knock on the door. His wife walked to the door cautiously, took a peek quietly, and then hurriedly opened the door.
, Xu Li walked in with a smile.
Family reunion is naturally a matter worth celebrating. Xu Li was okay, but his wife and daughter were already in tears. They greeted each other for a long time, and then Xu Li asked doubtfully: "Kuo never sent anyone."
Are you here to propose marriage?" Xu Li's daughter immediately lowered her head, her face turned red and speechless, so she packed up the tableware and went out to wash. Xu Li's wife shook her head and said to Xu Li: "Mr. Ma Fu seems to have
Not willing."
Xu Li asked in surprise: "Did Kuo tell you this personally?"
"No, but I heard that he took a woman and a child home. I think he has someone he belongs to."
"No." Xu Li shook his head and said seriously: "Kuo would not do such a thing. That woman and child should be the children of one of his comrades who died in the war, and they are just helping to raise them. You
Don't worry." After hearing Xu Li's words, his wife was still a little worried and said: "Ma Fujun is famous far and wide and is deeply favored by the Lord. If you insist on marrying your daughter to him, this will make people think that we
They are just coveting wealth and currying favor with the powerful."
Xu Li said helplessly: "This is what Dama Fujun and I have agreed upon. We fought together in the past. Although Dama Fujun is a irritable man, he is very casual with us people. He has a son.
And when I have a daughter, he once agreed with me that getting married is not something I am greedy for, I just want to fulfill my promise to Mr. Malaysia."
"If Kuo doesn't want to, I won't force him."
Xu Li rested at home for a day and went to see King Zhao the next day. King Zhao was very happy and received him warmly. He also asked the ministers to come to greet him. Except for Wei Wuji, all the other ministers were present.
King Han looked at Zhang Ping in front of him, his eyes full of despair. Zhang Ping sighed, and then said to him: "Please don't worry, I have sent people to ask for help from the Chu State, and the Chu State will definitely come to help us.
, I also investigated the enemy's situation. The army led by Bai Qi only has more than 10,000 people, which is not worthy of such fear. There are still 10,000 elite troops guarding Xinzheng, which can completely resist Bai Qi's attack."
"But how can we resist Bai Qi without anyone to lead the army?" King Han asked in fear.
Zhang Ping said seriously: "I recommend a person who can lead your army."
"who?"
"Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County."
"How can a traitor become a general??!" King Han was very angry and stood up, breathing heavily. Zhang Ping looked at him and said: "General Feng Ting is unwilling to cede Shangdang to Qin.
This gift was given to the State of Zhao. He originally wanted to use the power of the State of Zhao to fight against the State of Qin with South Korea. King Zhao made Feng Ting the Lord of Huayang, gave 30,000 households to the people, and made his county magistrate a marquis.
Each household was given a thousand yuan, and the officials were given titles, but General Feng Ting was very sad."
"He did not go to see the envoy from Zhao who came to reward him. He cried and said: I can't bear to sell the country's land as my own salary!"
"In the battle of Changping, General Feng Ting was always the first to fight, and he was not afraid of death. He led the Korean army of the Shangdang to fight the Qin State to the death. Now, he refuses to enter Handan, and still walks around to comfort the exiles in various places.
Korean people, help them settle down. I heard that he looks in the direction of South Korea every day and cries bitterly and cannot stop. South Korea has no general who can lead the army, why don't you order him to be invited back to South Korea?"
King Han was touched when he heard this, and then asked: "Does he have the talent to defeat Bai Qi?"
Zhang Ping was stunned and fell silent.
King Han said angrily: "He can't defeat Bai Qi, so what's the use of calling him over?"
Zhang Ping added: "If Qin wanted to destroy South Korea, it would not have sent only 10,000 soldiers. Qin's purpose was to disintegrate our alliance and force Chu to send troops. I feel that Chu had gone all out to fight with
The alliance of various countries will never sit back and watch Qin come to humiliate South Korea. Chu will definitely send troops. As long as South Korea can wait for Chu's reinforcements to arrive, it will be able to repel Qin's invasion. When Zhao and Wei have recovered their strength, Qin will
We will no longer dare to send troops to humiliate South Korea at will."
Zhang Ping analyzed from all aspects and accurately analyzed the thoughts of Qin, Chu, and even Wei and Zhao, and came up with the most reliable method. Zhang Ping and his father were not valued by the princes.
, because when they served as the Prime Minister of South Korea, South Korea had always suffered defeats. Whether it was foreign affairs, internal affairs, or military, they were all a mess. Therefore, these two father and son Prime Ministers were considered to have no talents.
mediocre.
To what extent does this prejudice reach?
It’s reached the point where even King Zhao doesn’t care about the two father and son prime ministers of South Korea.
But in fact, even if a thousand-mile horse falls into the hands of someone who cannot ride it and does not raise it in the correct way, the thousand-mile horse will gradually become a mediocre horse and cannot find a place to display its talents.
.
After listening to Zhang Ping's analysis, King Han gradually stopped panicking. Suddenly, he smiled, sat on the throne again, showed that unfathomable expression, and said to Zhang Ping: "I already have a way.
There is no need to send people to Chu State to ask for help." Zhang Ping's eyes widened, gritted his teeth, and said hurriedly: "If your Majesty's idea is to betray Chu State, write a letter to Qin State to apologize, and promise to withdraw from the alliance,
Then I ask you not to do this!"
King Han was very shocked. His thoughts were guessed by his ministers. What should he do? At that moment, he was only full of fear of Zhang Ping, but Zhang Ping continued: "If you order to resist Qin,
If you ask Chu for help again, South Korea still has a chance. But if you turn your back on Chu, Qin will no longer have 10,000 people, but 100,000 people will directly come to destroy South Korea. By that time, no one will come again.
Helped South Korea.”
King Han thought for a while, but was still a little hesitant. After a long time, he said angrily: "It's all Mu's fault. If he hadn't made his own decision, there wouldn't be today's disaster!"
At that moment, Zhang Ping clenched his fists, and veins popped out on his forehead. He sat up straight, looked at King Han in front of him, and said word by word: "If the king continued to hesitate at that time, what will happen now is
If the king had chosen Qin as the army to destroy Qin, then if Qin sent troops to protect the safety of South Korea, or invited you to Xianyang as a guest, who would you want to ask for help??"
King Han was furious and said to Zhang Ping: "Please don't forget to treat the king with courtesy!"
Zhang Ping took a deep breath and then calmed down. He looked at King Han and said: "My father has experienced four generations of kings and has been deeply loved by the kings. I am assisting you now and I dare not relax and do my best. Korea's
The strength is not as good as other countries. If you want to avoid disaster, you must unswervingly follow a country that will not plot against South Korea in the short term. Chu State can protect itself now, but there is no way to plot against South Korea."
"Please order General Feng Ting to return to South Korea to resist Qin and wait for reinforcements from Chu."
"If Chu does not send troops, what should you do?" King Han asked.
Zhang Ping smiled and said: "If that's the case, please behead me, send my head to Xianyang, and tell King Qin that it was all because of my bewitchment that South Korea boldly resisted Qin and offered me my head."
After your death, as long as you surrender to Qin, the people of South Korea will be able to avoid disaster."
"How can I surrender to Qin?" King Han said angrily and immediately gave the order.
First, Feng Ting of the State of Zhao received a royal order from the King of Han. The King's Ling wrote very sincerely: The King of Han can understand your difficulties. Now Korea is facing the disaster of destruction. Please return to Korea, command the Korean army, and resist the White Army.
As the army rose, the Koreans stood on tiptoe, looking at the road leading to Zhao, waiting for the arrival of the general. On the same day, Feng Ting set off for South Korea, leaving his son behind to pay homage to King Zhao.
His son returned all the rewards from King Zhao to King Zhao, as well as a letter from Feng Ting.
In the letter, Feng Ting first thanked King Zhao for his kindness, and then expressed regret that he could not repay King Zhao for his kindness. He said: I am a general in South Korea, and I have enjoyed the respect of Koreans for generations. The salary of King Han is now in South Korea.
In the face of danger, all I can do is to accompany the Koreans to die together. If I am lucky enough to escape the military disaster, I will personally come to apologize to you. If I die on the battlefield, I will tie a straw rope to trip you up.
your enemy.
King Zhao was very moved and wanted to reward his son Feng Buhuo.
Feng Buhuo smiled and said to King Zhao: "How can there be a father in the world who fights on the battlefield while his son enjoys wealth? Please allow me to leave. I want to fight to the death with my father." Feng Buhuo refused King Zhao's invitation to stay.
, left the Kingdom of Zhao and quickly rushed to South Korea following his father's footsteps. King Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of merit does the King of Han have that allows such a righteous man to fight to the death for him?"
Wei Wuji told him, "They are not doing it for the King of Han."
Qin's crusade against South Korea soon became known to everyone. King Zhao wanted to help them, but the imperial censor Zhao Hui persuaded him that the alliance was drawn up by the Chu State. Now Qin has ignored the alliance.
During the invasion, Chu did not go to rescue, but waited for Zhao to come to rescue. Even if Zhao saved South Korea, this would be regarded as a favor to Chu. What benefits could Zhao get?
This made King Zhao hesitate, but Pang Nuan told him: When Qin and Zhao were at war, Chu also sent troops to rescue them. They never thought about the benefits of this war to their current situation. This is because they have a long-term vision.
They want to get the help of Zhao State to jointly contain Qin State. Now South Korea is in trouble. If Zhao State cannot see the long term and does not send troops to rescue, then who will come to save Zhao State in the future?
King Zhao sighed, I want to save him, but I have to have soldiers who can be dispatched.
It is not okay to send soldiers who have just returned home from the war without giving them time to rest and then send them to fight.
ps: Brothers, I'm really sorry. Lao Lang spent the whole day writing yesterday. By the time of the third chapter, he must have run out of inspiration. He couldn't hold it back no matter what. Last night, I spent all night conceiving the plot.
I will make up for sleeping, dizziness, etc. I will make up for it after I make a detailed outline.
