Xianyang.

Fan Ju's courtyard, ushered in a distinguished guest, this guest is very old, older than Fan Ju, Fan Ju just saw him, he kindly helped him, let him sit down, the old man was wearing black clothes, all white hair, sharp eyes. Fan Ju sat in front of him, smiled and said, "As the minister of state, there are too many things to deal with, please don't blame it." ”

The old man's face became more and more gloomy, staring at Fan Ju angrily, he wanted to get the phase, everyone knew that Fan Ju said this, he was deliberately angry with him, but the old man did not have a seizure, he just asked: "Is your matter going well?" ”

Fan Ju stroked his beard, did not hide, and said: "Naturally, it is smooth, the envoy is about to arrive in Handan, I heard that Qin intends to negotiate peace with Zhao State, the soldiers and people of Zhao State are very happy, and the soldiers of Changping have no will to fight, and they are ready to go home." The reinforcements of Wei, after learning the news of the envoy, also stayed in Daliang, continued to observe, and did not go on the expedition. ”

The old man grinned before asking, "With your character, sending envoys shouldn't just be for these two results?" ”

Fan Ju laughed and said: "Sure enough, you know me best, your son of Ju, sent someone to send the news, now in the palace of King Zhao, only Yu Qing is our enemy, and the rest of the people have been eliminated by your son, my target this time is Yu Qing, as long as Yu Qing also leaves the palace, your son can become the prime minister of Zhao State, when the time comes, whether it is Lian Po or Zhao Kuo, there is no one behind him, can he still be the opponent of Qin?" ”

"Could it be that your envoy is going to assassinate Yu Qing?"

Fan Ju glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I don't have outsiders here, you don't have to pretend, how can you not know my thoughts?" ”

The old man suddenly laughed and said, "Do you want King Zhao to hand over Yu Qing to end the war between Qin and Zhao?" ”

Fan Ju didn't say anything, just looked at him.

"Then do you think King Zhao will hand it over?"

Fan Ju shook his head and said: "King Zhao will never hand over Yu Qing, even if the army surrounds Handan, he will definitely not hand it over, but this is not up to him, Yu Qing is a person, I know him very well, he is an extremely strong person, if he knows that he has become my pawn, do you know what will happen to him?" He will definitely kill himself and let King Zhao give his head to the messenger. ”

"Oh? Won't your plan be shattered? ”

"Yes, if Yu Qing does that, my strategy will be broken, so ah, I won't participate in the war anymore, and everything else will be handed over to Wu Anjun." , Fan Ju said calmly: "Whether King Zhao is Lian Po or Zhao Kuo is the general, the palace is all our people, how can they defeat Wu Anjun?" The old man shook his head and said, "Your strategy is still as ruthless as ever, it seems that you still know the ministers of Zhao State very well." ”

"War, not necessarily is to divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield, I know more about the ministers of Zhao State, but I know more about the ministers of Qin State, Tian Dan is wise, but he will not give advice to Zhao State, Lin Xiangru is brave, but he is old, Yu Qing has foresight, but he is too strong and easy to break. Zhao Bao is strategic, but he is irritable and irritable. Pang Xuan, Zhao Sheng and the like, and they don't often live by King Zhao's side. ”

"Oh, that.... What about Zhao Kuo? ”

"A reckless man who can only pretend." , Fan Ju gritted his teeth and said.

..............

And the reckless man who can only pretend to be at the moment, but he is riding a horse and galloping on the road, Zhao Kuo almost has nothing to hide his thoughts, that is, he takes his many doormen, riding a horse and galloping in the direction of the messenger, Zhao Kuo's idea is very simple, since he can't eliminate the strategy of the Qin State, then eliminate the person who implements the strategy. The messenger was slow, as if he was deliberately delaying his time.

According to Zhao Fu's words, they should have left Lu Cheng and were rushing in the direction of Mafu. Thousands of troops

Following Zhao Kuo's side, Zhao Fu looked particularly sad, at night, everyone lit a bonfire and was resting, Zhao Fu once came to Zhao Kuo's side, frowned, and asked: "Shaojun, is this really good?" Killing the envoy is an immoral thing and will destroy your reputation, not to mention, the people of Zhao have been longing for peace for a long time, if you kill the envoy of Qin, the people and soldiers will resent you. ”

This is not the first time Zhao Fu has come to persuade him, Zhao Fu really thinks that such an act is too risky, what if Qin Guo really wants to negotiate peace? Zhao Kuo behaved like this, didn't he make a big mistake? ?

Zhao Kuo sat on the cold ground, his fists clenched, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Fu, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I care about my reputation?" Or do you think that everything I did before was to make others respect me more? Zhao Fu was startled, and hurriedly shook his head, Zhao Kuo said: "I have done a lot of things, but when I do these things, I have never wanted others to praise my benevolence and righteousness when they see me." ”

"Perhaps, at the beginning, I was like this, I enjoyed the praise of others, but I saw too many good people, you know, there are many kind and good people in Zhao Kingdom, they should not suffer like this, I try my best to do what I can, I am to help more innocent people, even if I do this, they start to hate me and scold me, I don't care, at least, they can survive."

Zhao Fu stood for a long time, looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him blankly, gritted his teeth, and said, "It is precisely because of this that I dare not let you take such a risk!" ”

"If the Qin State really wants to negotiate peace... The Qin people also stopped attacking..."

Zhao Kuo smiled, "It's winter now, and it's becoming more difficult to transport grain and grass materials, so stop attacking, is this because the envoy came?" The Qin people have never thought of negotiating peace, if it is just to join the party, why use hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they are here to destroy the Zhao State.... I know that you are afraid, you very much hope that the peace negotiation is real, and I am also afraid, how I hope that the peace negotiation is real...."

"However, I can't numb myself like this, I have numbed myself once, forced myself to believe.... But he killed an upright messenger, and he died in the state of Qin. He said he wanted me to avenge him... No matter how scared I am, I must be ready to fight to the death with the Qin people, even if I die in Changping, even if the people of Zhao State hate me, so that I have no place to stand, I will not let them kill more people! ”

Zhao Kuo said firmly, and his clenched hands gradually loosened.

Zhao Fu looked at him, "You asked me not to convince myself to believe, but aren't you also convincing myself to believe?" He didn't say anything more, swept the dust around Zhao Kuo, sat beside him, and said seriously: "No matter what you want to do, I am willing to follow you, but this time, please let me go, I will kill them." ”

"Do you want to kill the messenger, then commit suicide and apologize, and take all the charges down?" , Zhao Kuo suddenly became angry, he grabbed Zhao Fu's shoulders and asked: "You still have a wife, parents, and two children at home, why do you ignore them like this, why do you want to die for me!" ”

"You have a mother at home, and there are many people who love you in the country, why are you willing to die for the people of Zhao Kingdom!!"

"Because they love me, they trust me, and they see me as hope!"

"I love you too, I trust you, and I see you as hope, so I'm willing to die for you!"

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, let go of the hand that grabbed Zhao Fu's shoulder, he smiled, and said: "Then you have to live well, by my side, only you and Ge are left, if you also leave me, I can't do anything...", he tinkered with the bonfire in front of him, his face changed color under the light of the bonfire, he said: "This matter, I must do it myself, only if the countries know that I did it, they will believe that Zhao and Qin will never have a chance to negotiate peace." ”

Zhao Fu sat aside, sighed helplessly, picked up the roasted mutton, and ate it.

Ge who came over suddenly kicked Zhao Fu's leg, lowered his head, and said angrily: "If I go to urinate and drown, you will come to occupy my place, just occupy it, and eat my barbecue!" ”

"You think I'm old and easy to bully, don't you?!"
