Chapter Eighty-Three: Dead Youth and Cold-Blooded Monsters
Zhao Guo, Handan
The knights 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 by the countryside, he would shout: "Ma Fuzi will capture the flag!" Yan will die in the chestnut belly!! The land of Zhao Kingdom, which was originally lifeless, seemed to be ignited after he passed by, the old men laughed, they had a new topic to talk about, and some people wanted to ask a few more questions, but the knight had a mission and it was difficult to keep it.
The knight was like a burning bonfire, he quickly lit up every place he passed, these places that were originally shrouded by anger and death, all burst out with new vitality, the old men bent down, watching the heroes go away, only then they talked excitedly about the war, from Bairen to Handan, there were no cities on the way, only when they were close to Handan, there were only a few towns, which belonged to Handan City.
"Mafuzi has the style of his father!"
"Do you know what happened back then? Back then, Ma Fujun was defeated by killing the Qin people! ”
"I know...", the old man's expression was a little dazed, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, he recalled and said: "I participated in this war back then...", he gestured and said happily: "I killed two Qin people at that time, I just stabbed like this, and one Qin person was picked off the chariot by me..."
When the knight came to the city of Handan, he was stunned for a moment, the gates of Handan City were closed, on the city wall, there were countless elites of the Zhao Kingdom who were patrolling back and forth, and when they saw the knight, they immediately aimed the strong bow in their hands at the knight, the knight was furious, raised his head, and scolded: "Don't scare me with your tricks!" I brought information about the battle in Bairen! Open the door quickly!! ”
The gates of the city were slowly opened, and the swaggering elite soldiers stood on both sides, looking at the knights vigilantly, and only then did two people come out to investigate. The knight looked at them unhappily, and waited until they finished interrogating, and then said angrily: "What a majestic elite, if the Yan people saw it, they would definitely be frightened, but unfortunately, they can't see it!" After speaking, he walked directly into the city, leaving only a few guilty soldiers with their heads bowed.
In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao sat in the banquet with a smile.
Many ministers sat in the banquet, Lou Chang was still complimenting King Zhao's virtue, talking about Ma Fuzi must have broken the Yan people or something, Yu Shi Zhao Hui smiled and recorded the grand occasion of the banquet on the side, recorded the dialogue between Lou Chang and King Zhao, all the ministers were very happy, only the two, Yu Qing and Xu Li, were incompatible with this joyful atmosphere, Yu Qing looked at the many ministers in front of him angrily, and gritted his teeth.
And Xu Li just drank bitter wine, one after another, almost without interruption.
The arrival of the knight broke the atmosphere of the banquet, when the knight walked into the banquet, Lou Chang closed his eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything again, except for Yu Qing and Xu Li, who looked at the knight worriedly, and the knight bowed to King Zhao and said, "I came on the order of Ma Fuzi." King Zhao's eyes widened and he asked with a smile, "How is the war?" What does he have to tell the widow? ”
The knight said seriously: "Ma Fuzi first led six hundred knights to attack the Yan people, burned the grain and grass of the Yan people, and then in Bairen, Ma Fuzi led the army to fight to the death with the Yan people, Ma Fuzi took the lead, charged ahead, first killed Qing Qin, and then cut the general to capture the flag, the Yan people were defeated, and the turtle retreated into the city, and no longer dared to attack!" ”
"What?!" , Lou Chang jumped up violently, the ministers all looked at him in surprise, Lou Chang gradually piled up a smile on his face, and said tremblingly: "Shangjun, if it is really as the minister said, Ma Fuzi has defeated the Yan people...", King Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed at the moment, and he didn't know what to say happily, "No, the widow wants to reward Ma Fuzi, and the widow wants him to inherit Ma Fujun's position, no, the widow will send him twenty cities!" ”
Yu Qing exhaled, and then she was 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 the Qing Qin of the Yan State is a virtuous person who can be appointed by the emperor, what happened to them?" The knight was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "They have all been killed on the battlefield!" Lou Chang frowned, looked at King Zhao, and said, "Shangjun... This..."
A trace of distress flashed on King Zhao's face, and he shook his hand and said: "On the battlefield, fighting for his life, Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people with a weak force, and the widow is already very happy, as for the chestnut belly, if he dies, he will die!" The widow has a talent like Ma Fuzi, what about ten chestnut bellies?! Lou Chang chuckled and said, "What Shangjun said is right, that's exactly the truth. ”
King Zhao looked at the knight with a smile and asked, "What else did Ma Fuzi say?" ”
The knight said: "Although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, but the casualties were also very heavy, there is no way to drive the rest of the Yan people out of the country, so I asked me to come and ask Shangjun to send a knight to assist Ma Fuzi to drive the rest of the Yan people out of the territory of Zhao State!" In addition, he also hoped that Yu Xiang would inform the knights in the clouds to protect the people along the road from being brutalized by the rout. ”
King Zhao nodded and said, "The widow knows." He looked around and asked, "Who wants to take two thousand knights to assist Ma Fuzi?" ”
Lou Chang stood up abruptly and said, "The minister is willing to go." ”
"No!" , Yu Qing hurriedly said: "The war you have experienced has never been victorious, what kind of face do you have to continue to lead the army?" Let me go. ”
Lou Chang looked at Yu Qing angrily, and said sadly: "I didn't make any contributions, and I was treated like this by the king, which made me very uneasy, I just want to make up for my previous mistakes this time, how can you say that?" Yu Qing sneered and said, "I'm worried that your support will be unfavorable, which will lead to the destruction of today's good situation." ”
"As a false appearance, you have a lot of things to deal with, if you go to the battlefield, then who should deal with the major affairs in the country? Please trust me. Lou Chang said seriously.
Seeing that the two ministers quarreled, King Zhao got up a little helplessly, stopped the quarrel between the two, and thought for a long time before he said: "With Lou Chang as the general and Xu Li as the deputy general, go to help Ma Fuzi, and after arriving at Bairen, you must obey Ma Fuzi's orders." Lou Chang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, Xu Li got up and hurriedly bowed, 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 villain who is a traitor, I am worried that he will deliberately delay the time and not go to the rescue in time, although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, but there should not be much left of the troops, the Yan people have no main general, but there are still a lot of soldiers...", Yu Qing frowned, and said worriedly. Xu Li looked a little drunk, he smiled, stood up, and said, "Please rest assured, I won't allow such a thing to happen." ”
.......
Qin State, Xianyang
In the palace, there is a small stream, meandering, and Fan Ju is squatting by this stream, constantly washing his hands, touching his face with water, and even his head, this is a quirk of Fan Ju, and the warriors who come and go are not surprised, Fan Ju especially likes to bathe, he will keep washing his hands every day, washing his face, bathing, and even rubbing his whole body red, almost bleeding.
After washing it several times, a doorman handed him a cloth, Fan Ju wiped his body, and then walked into the palace.
The elderly King of Qin sat in the hall, raised his head, and saw Fan Ju, who was wet and his face was rubbed red, he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and asked him to sit beside him, after Fan Ju sat down, King Qin asked in confusion: "I heard that the princes have the idea of helping Zhao and crusading against Qin, Uncle Fan, why is this?" ”
Fan Ju frowned and said seriously: "Previously, An Guojun's disciple, called Lu Buwei, came to the minister and proposed to borrow the hand of the Yan people to attack the Zhao State, but the minister did not check for a while, but agreed, and the princes must have felt that the Zhao State was in danger of destruction, so they wanted to help the Zhao State. ”
King Qin nodded, oh, and then said: "The widow thinks, it's not that you didn't check for a while, it's your anger towards Zhao Kuo, which affects your judgment." Can private resentment affect the affairs of the state? Fan Ju was silent for a moment before he said, "The minister pleaded guilty, please punish him." ”
"When did the widow ever think of chastising you? The widow came to you, just to ask you about the war, please put aside your hatred for Zhao Kuo for the time being, and solve the widow's confusion. ”
Fan Ju lowered his head and said, "The minister has a plan, please send an envoy to the king, with great fanfare, all the way to Handan, and negotiate peace with Zhao Guo." ”
"Oh?" , King Qin was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Same as Zheng Zhu?" Suspicious again? ”
"The princes will not rush to fight the Qin people before the envoy returns, even if they send an army. But this is just a little benefit, the minister does things, is to strive for the greatest effect, but so, then the envoy is not necessary, please send a messenger to tell the king of Zhao, the minister of Zhao Yu Qing insulted you, as long as the king of Zhao can hand over Yu Qing, Qin is willing to withdraw the army. ”
"What if he hands it over?"
"Shangjun, with the character of King Zhao, you just want to kill him, and he will not hand over his ministers."
"The widow doesn't understand."
"If King Zhao doesn't pay, it means that King Zhao is unwilling to end the war, his people, his soldiers, won't they blame him?"
"Hahaha, two results."
"Not only that, but in fact..."
"Uncle Fan..", King Qin interrupted Fan Ju and said with a smile: "Actually, a strategy can accomplish one thing, which is enough, few people have heard of it, those in the world who have failed for themselves because of impatience and recklessness, and they can't reach their destination in the dark, are all people who are eager to complete their goals, and their plans are very big, what do you think?" ”
Fan Ju gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time before he let out a long sigh and said, "Only, only." ”
Fan Ju left, King Qin looked at the water marks on his seat, and speaking of which, King Qin was also a little jealous of his minister. He doesn't have any feelings, he only has pure interests in his mind, the world says that Fan Ju knows how to repay his kindness, but it is precisely in this way that he can see Fan Ju's ruthlessness, he is unwilling to owe favors, no matter who helped him, he must return it immediately, and then never communicate again.
Just like Zheng Anping, who was kind to him at the beginning, Fan Ju never met him, and after becoming a confidant of King Qin, he immediately recommended him and returned the favor, and since then he and Zheng Ping'an have been like strangers.
Probably, when Fan Ju was wronged, pressed in the domain, urinated on his body, and was insulted, all the feelings in his heart dissipated, and the humiliation that could never be washed away made a cold-blooded monster who always put interests first.
In the heart of the monster, there was a dead young man covering his head, curled up, shouting for wrongs, and crying loudly.
