The knight sent by Zhao Kuo did not hide the good news on the battlefield along the way. He rode a horse and every time he passed through the countryside, he would shout: "Ma Fuzi kills the general and seizes the flag!! Yan Die!" The originally lifeless land of Zhao seemed to be on fire after he passed by. The old men laughed. They had new things to talk about, and some wanted to ask more questions. It's just that the knight has a mission and it's hard to keep him.
The knight was like a burning bonfire. He quickly ignited every place he passed. These places that were originally shrouded in anger burst out with new vitality. The old men bent down and watched. The hero left, and just now he excitedly talked about the war. From Bairen to Handan, there were no cities along the way. Only when approaching Handan, there were a few villages that belonged to the city of Handan.
"Ma Fuzi is like his father!"
"Do you know the war in Yanyu? Back then, Lord Ma Fu was in Yanyu and killed the Qin people to a rout!"
"I know..." The old man looked a little dazed, with a smile on his face. He recalled: "I participated in this war..." He gestured and said happily: "I killed someone at that time. I just stabbed two Qin people, and I picked one Qin person off the chariot..."
When the knight arrived at the foot of Handan City, he was stunned for a moment. The gates of Handan City were closed. On the city wall, there were countless Zhao elites patrolling back and forth. When they saw the knight, they immediately pointed their strong bows at them. The knight was right, and the knight was furious, raised his head, and cursed: "Don't scare me with your tricks! I have brought information about the Bai Ren war! Open the door quickly!!"
The city gate was slowly opened, and the arrogant elite soldiers stood on both sides, looking at the knights warily, and then two people came out to investigate. The knight looked at them displeased, and after they finished questioning, he said angrily : "What a majestic elite. If the Yan people saw it, they would be scared out of their wits. It's a pity that they can't see it!" After saying that, he walked directly into the city, leaving only a few guilty ones. Soldier, head lowered.
In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao was sitting at the banquet with a smile.
Many ministers were sitting at the banquet. Lou Chang was still complimenting King Zhao's virtues and talking about how Ma Fuzi must have defeated the Yan people. The censor Zhao Hui smiled and recorded the grand occasion of the banquet. The conversation between Chang and King Zhao made all the ministers very happy. Only two people, Yu Qing and Xu Li, were incompatible with the happy atmosphere. Yu Qing looked at the many ministers in front of him angrily and gritted his teeth.
But Xu Li just drank the bitter wine, one cup after another, almost without interruption.
The arrival of the knight broke the atmosphere of the banquet. When the dusty knight walked into the banquet, Lou Chang closed his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said no more. Only Yu Qing and Xu Li looked at it worriedly. Looking at the knight, the knight bowed to King Zhao and said, "I am here under Ma Fuzi's order." King Zhao widened his eyes and asked with a smile: "How is the war? Ma Fuzi has him." What do you want to tell me?"
The knight said seriously: "Ma Fuzi first led six hundred knights to attack the Yan people and burned the Yan people's food and grass. Then at Bairen, Ma Fuzi led an army to fight to the death with the Yan people. Ma Fuzi took the lead and charged forward. After killing Qin Qin, beheading the generals and seizing the flag, the Yan people were defeated and retreated into the city, never daring to attack again!!"
"What?!" Lou Chang suddenly jumped up, and all the officials looked at him in surprise. A smile gradually appeared on Lou Chang's face, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it is really as I said,
Ma Fuzi has defeated the Yan people..." King Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say, "No, I want to reward Ma Fuzi, I want him to inherit the position of Ma Fujun, no.
, I will give him twenty cities!!"
Yu Qing exhaled, and then she felt relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
Lou Chang's lips trembled, and after thinking for a long time, he hurriedly asked the knight: "I heard that Qin Qin and Li Fu of Yan State are all virtuous people and can be appointed by the Lord. What happened to them?"
, the knight was stunned, and then said angrily: "They have all been killed on the battlefield!!" Lou Chang frowned, looked at King Zhao, and said: "Your Majesty... this..."
A trace of distress flashed across King Zhao's face, and he just shook his hand and said: "On the battlefield, we were fighting desperately. Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people with a weak force. I was already very happy. As for Li Fu, he died.
Just die! I have a talented person like Ma Fuzi, but what about ten chestnut bellies?!" Lou Chang then chuckled and said: "The Lord is right, it is exactly the truth.
"
King Zhao looked at the knight with a smile and asked, "What else did Ma Fuzi say?"
The knight added: "Although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, the casualties were also very heavy. There was no way to drive out the rest of the Yan people. Therefore, I was asked to come and ask the Lord to send a team of knights to assist Ma Fuzi."
Zi drove the rest of the Yan people out of Zhao's territory! In addition, he also hoped that Prime Minister Yu could inform the knights in the clouds to protect the people along the road, lest they be harmed by the defeated troops."
King Zhao nodded and said, "I understand." He looked around and asked, "Who is willing to take two thousand knights to assist Ma Fuzi?"
Lou Chang stood up suddenly and said, "I am willing to go."
"No!" Yu Qing said hurriedly: "You have never been victorious in any war you have experienced. How can you have the dignity to continue to lead the army? Let me go."
Lou Chang looked at Yu Qing angrily and said sadly: "I have received such kindness from the Lord without any merit. This makes me very uneasy. I just want to make up for my previous mistakes this time. How can you
What do you mean?" Yu Qing sneered and said, "I'm worried that your lack of support will ruin the great situation."
"As a disguise, you have a lot to deal with. If you go to the battlefield, who will be responsible for handling major domestic affairs? Please trust me." Lou Chang said seriously.
Seeing the two ministers quarreling, King Zhao stood up helplessly, stopped the quarrel between the two, thought for a long time, and then said: "Take Lou Chang as the general and Xu Li as the deputy general, and go to help Ma Fuzi.
After Bai Ren, you must obey Ma Fuzi's orders." Lou Chang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Xu Li stood up and also hurriedly thanked him. Yu Qing sighed and sat down slowly.
After the banquet was over, Yu Qing hurriedly stopped Xu Li and took him back to his mansion.
"Lou Chang is a traitor. I'm worried that he will deliberately delay time and not go to the rescue in time. Although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, there shouldn't be many troops left. The Yan people don't have a general, but they still have
There are many soldiers..." Yu Qing frowned and said worriedly. Xu Li looked a little drunk. He smiled, stood up and said: "Please don't worry, I will not allow this.
things happen."
.......
Qin State, Xianyang
In the palace, there is a winding stream, and Fan Ju is squatting by the stream, constantly washing his hands, stroking his face and even his head with water. This is a quirk of Fan Ju.
The warrior was not surprised. Fan Ju particularly liked bathing. He would wash his hands, face, and bathe constantly every day, even rubbing his whole body until it turned red and almost bled.
After washing several more times, a retainer handed him a cloth, and Fan Ju wiped his body before entering the palace.
The old King Qin was sitting in the palace. He raised his head and saw Fan Ju, who was wet and his face was red from being rubbed. He didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand and asked him to sit next to him. After Fan Ju sat down, King Qin was confused.
He asked: "I heard that all the princes have the idea of helping Zhao and attacking Qin. Uncle Fan, why is this?"
Fan Ju frowned and said seriously: "Previously, Lord An's retainer, called Lu Buwei, came to see me and offered to borrow the help of Yan people to attack Zhao State. I didn't check for a while and actually agreed. The princes
He must have felt that Zhao was in danger of being destroyed, so he wanted to help Zhao."
King Qin nodded and said, "I think it's not that you didn't check for a while, but that your anger towards Zhao Kuo affected your judgment. Can private resentment affect the affairs of the country?"
?", Fan Ju was silent for a moment, and then said: "I plead guilty, please punish me."
"When did I ever think of punishing you? I came to you because I just wanted to ask you about the war. Please put aside your hatred for Zhao Kuo for the time being and resolve my confusion."
Fan Ju lowered his head and said: "I have a plan. Please send an envoy from your Majesty to rush to Handan with great fanfare to negotiate peace with Zhao."
"Oh?" King Qin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Like Zheng Zhu? Make the princes suspicious again?"
"Before the envoy returns, the princes will not rush to fight the Qin people even if they send troops. But this is only a small benefit. I want to achieve maximum results when doing things. But if this is the case, then there is no need for the envoy
Please send an envoy to King Zhao to tell King Zhao that Zhao’s minister Yu Qing has insulted you. As long as King Zhao can hand over Yu Qing, Qin will withdraw its troops.”
"Then what if he hands it over?"
"Your Majesty, given King Zhao's character, even if you want to kill him, he will not hand over his ministers."
"I don't understand."
"If King Zhao refuses to surrender, it means that King Zhao is unwilling to end the war. Wouldn't his people and soldiers blame him?"
"Hahaha, it works in two ways."
"Not only that, but actually..."
"Uncle Fan..." King Qin interrupted Fan Ju and said with a smile: "Actually, a strategy can accomplish one thing, which is enough. I heard that those in the world who are impetuous and reckless bring themselves failure.
, People who can’t reach their destination in the dark are all people who are eager to accomplish their goals and have great ambitions, what do you think?”
Fan Ju gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before sighing and saying: "Wei, Wei."
Fan Ju left. King Qin looked at the water marks on his seat. Speaking of which, King Qin was also a little jealous of his minister. He had no emotions and only had pure interests in his mind. Everyone said that Fan Ju repaid his kindness.
, But it is precisely in this way that we can see Fan Ju's ruthlessness. He is unwilling to owe favors. No matter who helps him, he will pay it back immediately and never interact with him again.
Just like Zheng Anping, who was kind to him at the beginning, Fan Ju never met him. After becoming King Qin's confidant, he immediately recommended him and repaid the kindness. From then on, he and Zheng Anping were like strangers.
Probably, when Fan Ju was wrongly accused, imprisoned in the feudal lord, had people urinate on him, and was humiliated, all the emotions in his heart dissipated. The humiliation that could never be washed away turned into a person who was always a profit.
The supreme cold-blooded monster.
In the heart of the monster, there was a dead young man covering his head, curling up, shouting that he was wronged, and crying loudly.
