Zhao Wangdan said, 'You are the widow's Ma Fujun.' When Ma Fuzi heard this, his expression was shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. These words are not only what he wants to hear the most, but also the best affirmation of him. Zhao Hao is the horse service of King Zhao Huiwen, and he is the horse service king of Zhao Wang Dan.

Zhao Wangdan saw that the other party did not say anything to cater to him, nor did he achieve the effect he expected, looked at him, and asked seriously: "Don't you want to be a widow?" ”

"Minister, I have been dreaming of this day." Ma Fuzi suppressed the fanaticism in his heart, and also left this sentence in his heart, and replied calmly: "Old General Lian, his military achievements are great, and Weide serves the public." Wang Shangchen replaced General Lian, and there will be many people who are not convinced! ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, pointing to the documents stacked on the desk, "This side is all in favor of you, and the other side is against you." ”

Ma Fuzi saw that the documents in favor of him were much higher than those against him. Thinking that I was recognized by most people, that heart was a little more comforted.

Zhao Wangdan retracted his gesture, looked at him, and continued: "So many courtiers support you. The widow also supports you. You are the widow's horseman. ”

Ma Fuzi didn't give Zhao Wangdan a strong response, and asked calmly: "The minister wants to know who is against it." ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't expect the other party to ask these words, so he was stunned for a while, and walked into the case, which documents opposed him, "Lin Xiangru." ”

Ma Fuzi said seriously: "Lin Shangqing is the minister of the first king, and he is also a person with plans and the overall situation. Why didn't the king listen to Lin Shangqing's words. ”

Zhao Wangdan put down the paperwork in his hand, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "What is the relationship between Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, how can a widow not know." The widow urged the war, and Lian Po refused to fight. Is there a widow in Lian Po's eyes? Lin Xiangru spoke for Lian Po, but it was just for personal friendship and forgot about his family and country. How can a widow listen to the words of a sick person? ”

The war between Qin and Zhao is deadlocked, and the pressure on Zhao Wangdan can be imagined. Ma Fuzi didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to be suspicious and honest, and he didn't listen to Lin Xiangru's words.

Zhao Wangdan picked up another piece of paper and raised his hand, "Your mother also opposes widows taking you as a general." ”

"The mother advises the king, don't regard the minister as a general, or even cut off the mother-son relationship with the minister!" Ma Fuzi said these words with a calm face, but there was a heart-rending pain in his heart. Ma Fuzi couldn't figure out what he did wrong when he inherited his father's martial arts and glory.

Ma Fuzi saw that his mother looked down on him, and the more he had to prove his ability.

"You already know, but the widow will not read it." Zhao Wangdan put down the paperwork and said, "The widow promised your mother, you can't break Qin, and the widow won't ask your family and clan about it." ”

"Your Majesty, Pingyuan Jun, Pingyang Jun, what is their attitude towards the ministers." Ma Fuzi saw that Zhao Wangdan did not listen to his mother's words, and he would not implicate his family and clan because of the disadvantage of the war, so he had no worries in his heart.

Zhao Wangdan spit out a few words, "Don't object, don't support." ”

Ma Fuzi saw that the two most representative people of Zhao Guo did not express his position, and glanced at the documents on the case again, "Minister, if you have not made military merits, you will not add Weide." Ignoring the opinions of Lin Xiangru and his mother, the king promoted his ministers to generals and replaced the respected old general. Ministers, they are not worthy of this heavy responsibility. ”

Zhao Wangdan never expected Ma Fuzi to say such a thing, especially the last few words, which made his blood a little colder. In order to take him as a general, Zhao Wangdan didn't know how much pressure he withstood it. Zhao Wangdan thought about it, and what the other party said was right. Compared with General Lian, Ma Fuzi has no outstanding military exploits and no virtue. Ma Fuzi's words are also worried that the change will cause new chaos.

Zhao Wangdan figured out this section, and he didn't blame him, "The widow thinks you are the general, it's not an edict made by being confused for a while." This is the support of the courtiers and the desire of the people. The widow also believes that you are the widow's horse suit. ”

Ma Fuzi saw that Zhao Wangdan's attitude was firm, and his tone was full of strength, and replied: "The king regards his ministers as generals, and there are no longer a few people who oppose ministers in the court. ”

Zhao Wangdan pointed to the documents on the case, "There are many civil ministers and military generals who oppose it, and Lin Xiangru also opposes it." Even your mother admonishes widows. ”

Ma Fuzi asked: "The king took the minister as the general and replaced the old general Lian." Wenchen and military generals are not convinced, why does the king insist on taking ministers as generals. ”

"Who said that without military exploits, you can't be a general without Weide." Zhao Wangdan's eyes were bright, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "Lian Po has military exploits and prestige, but he can't resist the Qin army. Lian is quite old, and his tactics are too conservative to fight the prestige of the Zhao man. The widow wants a vigorous and energetic general to go out to war and open up a difficult situation for our country. ”

Ma Fuzi understands Zhao Wangdan and understands his difficulties. wants to prove that he is not weak in his father's mood, Zhao Wangdan is stronger than anyone else. The influence of King Zhao Huiwen and Empress Zhao Wei on King Zhao was too great. If Zhao Wangdan wants to prove himself, he can only expand his territory and defeat the tyrannical Qin.

Ma Fuzi excused himself: "Minister, young, I'm afraid of disappointing the king's expectations." ”

"When my widowed grandfather inherited the great inheritance, he was not yet fifteen years old. Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan, in the name of the funeral, picture my Zhao family. Regardless of the weakness of the country, my grandfather dared to go toe-to-toe with the princes of the Five Kingdoms. When his father succeeded to the throne, he was ten years old. Dune Palace is difficult, and he is only fifteen years old. No, he also guarded the country left by his ancestors. The widow succeeded to the throne, and he was older than his grandfather and father. The widow can keep the ancestors of the country. Zhao Wangdan remembered the things of his grandfather and father, and shouted: "The descendants of the Zhao family have been heroes since ancient times. ”

Seeing that Ma Fuzi didn't speak, Zhao Wang Dan must have had a lot of worries in his heart, and said: "Our country and the Qin State have been in a stalemate in the Dan River for too long, and the Qi State will not ally with us. Our country will not be able to fight a protracted war of attrition with Qin. If you are used, you will share your honor and disgrace, and you will live and die together. The widow is willing to entrust the fate of Zhao to you. ”

Ma Fuzi bowed to Zhao Wangdan, "The minister is willing to attack Qin, but the minister of civil and military affairs is not satisfied, and it is difficult to do great things." Please, the king will change generals. ”

Zhao Wangdan said so much, but he still got this sentence, and said loudly: "Tomorrow, the widow will build a high platform, worship you as a general, and promote your prestige for you." You are willing to become a widow's horse and guard the ancestors' country together. ”

Zhao Wangdan's words were also what Ma Fuzi thought. Ma Fuzi didn't want to let down the king, nor did he want to live up to himself, so he bowed down and said: "Thanks to the king's love, the minister, you should receive the order." The ministers are willing to defend the ancestors for the king. ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan said excitedly: "We will join hands to guard the ancestors of the country." ”

Ma Fuzi said loudly: "Minister, I will definitely use the blood of the Qin army to defend the arrogance of the three Jin men." ”

"Good, good, good." Zhao Wangdan said with a smile: "This is what the widow Ma Fujun should say." ”

Ma Fuzi asked: "The king replaced Lian Po with a minister, I don't know, how to settle the old general Lian." ”

Zhao Wangdan lowered his voice and said: "Lian Po has a strong temperament, and he doesn't listen to the edict of the widow. There is a news circulating in Handan City, Lian Po Tong Qin, plotting against Handan, I don't know if you have heard of it. ”

Ma Fuzi said: "Your Majesty, this is a rumor, don't take it seriously." This must be a strategy of the Qin State to drive a wedge between our monarchs and ministers. The Qin State could not break our country by force, so it thought of defeating us from within. O king, do not listen to it, but believe it. ”

Zhao Wangdan also thought about these reasons, but he didn't dare to gamble with the fate of Jiangshan Sheji, "There must be a reason for everything, and there is no wind and no waves." A widow is the king of a country, and he must not be taken seriously,"

Ma Fuzi hurriedly said: "Everyone knows what General Lian is like. General Lian will not betray Zhao and betray the king. ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "The widow also believes that the old general Lian is loyal to the country, but the widow is the king of a country, so he must consider the family and the country. Lian Po is not a descendant of my Zhao family, and he will not fight to the death for the foundation of his ancestors. How can a widow gamble with the inheritance of his ancestors? At the moment of national crisis, loyalty is hard to find. You are a descendant of the Zhao family, and you have to shoulder the responsibility. ”

When Ma Fuzi heard the words 'descendants of the Zhao family', he couldn't calm down the emotions in his heart for a long time, and asked: "What should the king do if he wants his ministers?"

"The widow sent you to replace Lian Po and hand over power. Lian Po has no dissent, you let him return to Handan safely. The widow failed him, and he will make up for it later. Zhao Wangdan's eyes were murderous, "If he has different intentions and does not carry out the transfer of power, you can act cheaply." ”

Ma Fuzi exclaimed: "What the king means, the minister doesn't understand. ”

Zhao Wangdan knew that the other party understood, deliberately pretended not to understand, approached him, and lowered his voice, "The widow has ordered Lian Po to attack Qin many times, and Lian Po refused to fight on the grounds that he would be outside. Lian Po has a heavy army, and the widow is worried about him..."

Ma Fuzi said: "Your Majesty, the old general Lian has a stronger temperament. However, he will not do treason. General Lian Lao blocked the Qin army at the Dan River, which was enough to show his loyalty. The king is the king of a country, and he should follow the example of the previous kings and use people without suspicion. When the king's words spread out, didn't it make the soldiers feel cold? ”

"It doesn't matter if you say that the widow is cold, or that the widow is ruthless, or even that the widow is suspicious." Zhao Wangdan thought that Lian Po refused to obey orders, and couldn't listen to these words, so he said slightly angrily: "Fighting against Qin is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, and the widow does not dare to be sloppy." Lian Po did not listen to the king's orders and refused to go to war. The widow can't let him cause a great disaster, and it's too late to regret it. ”

Ma Fuzi felt Zhao Wangdan's strong murderous aura, and he didn't know that he could persuade King Zhao's intentions, so he changed his tone and said: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to the ministers." The minister will be able to persuade the old general Lian to successfully complete the handover ceremony. ”

"Well, the widow will believe you." Zhao Wangdan asked, "How many people do you need to defeat the Qin army?" ”

"There are more than 100,000 people stationed in the Dan River. The king of Qin increased his army by another 100,000 troops, and also transferred the Qin army of the wild king to the Dan River. We must defeat the Qin army and regain the lost territory. Ma Fuzi said: "The minister wants at least 150,000, and he will definitely be able to attack Qin, and the horse will step on Xianyang." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan was very satisfied when he got this answer, "The widow gave you 200,000, and you have to help the widow teach Qin Guo a good lesson." ”

Ma Fuzi said confidently: "The minister has 200,000 new troops, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army and defeat Wang Di." ”

"This is the only remaining force in the country that can be deployed. The widow entrusted his life, the life of the people of Handan, and the fate of the Zhao State to you. ”

"If the minister does not break Qin, he will not return it."

Zhao Wang Dan praised: "The first king has a horse to serve the king, and the widow has you." We will work together to conquer Qin and establish a thousand years of achievements. You have to teach the Qin State a good lesson for the widow and raise the prestige of my Zhao family. ”

Ma Fuzi said in a loud voice: "Huh." ”

King Zhao talked a lot more with Ma Fuzi and asked him how to fight. Ma Fuzi responded calmly and orderly. When Zhao Wangdan heard this, his confidence increased greatly. The Zhao clan has this person, and God will not give up.

Zhao Wangdan said for two more hours, and said with concern: "Tomorrow you will go on the expedition, go home and say goodbye to your mother, wife and children." On the day of your triumphant return, the widow will drink with you to talk about the world. ”

"Minister, retire." After the horse fuzi finished saluting, he turned and walked out.

Not long after Ma Fuzi left, Pingyuanjun walked in. Seeing that he could break the deadlock and defeat the Qin army, Zhao Wang Dan smiled and said, "Uncle, the widow has good news for you. The widow decided to replace Lian Po with Ma Fuzi as his general. ”

"What?" Pingyuan Jun didn't expect that Zhao Wangdan would make such a hasty decision without asking the courtiers' opinions, and asked, "The king plans to replace Lian Po with Ma Fuzi as a general?" ”

Zhao Wangdan was reluctant to give Pingyuan Jun a chance to speak, "The widow's mind has been decided." No one can persuade the widow to take back his fate. ”

What Pingyuan Jun was worried about still happened, and asked, "How does the king plan to deal with the aftermath?" ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Lian Po is obedient, and the widow will naturally treat him well." If he is dissatisfied, he can only be..."

Pingyuan Jun asked: "Lian Po is a famous general of our country, and the king wants to kill him?" ”

"Widow..."Zhao Wangdan still couldn't say those words.

"The king killed Lian Po, which will definitely make the soldiers feel cold. The soldiers of the northern frontier will not listen to the king's dispatch. Killing a Lian Po made the whole country feel cold. This is what you want, Your Majesty. ”

"The widow will not kill Lian Po, and he will not be reused." Zhao Wangdan said in a tired tone: "Tomorrow, the widow will worship Ma Fuzi as a general." Uncle, the widow is tired, go down! ”

The next day, the morning sun rose and shone into Handan City.

On the square of Congtai Palace Nuoda, there are many golden gees, and flags are waving in the wind. Just after the sound of the three-way drum, Zhao Wangdan ascended the high platform and held a ceremony to worship the sky.

At the end of the ceremony, the celebrant shouted, "Please, Ma Fujun on the stage." ”

Ma Fuzi wore a military uniform and a hat, climbed the high platform, knelt down to King Zhao and said, "Minister, meet my king." ”

Zhao Wangdan picked up the wooden plate from the waiter's hand, picked up the long sword, handed it to Ma Fuzi and said, "The widow worships you as a general and leads the army to the battle." ”

Ma Fuzi said: "Huh." ”

Ma Fuzi raised his long sword and faced 200,000 soldiers. The crowd shouted: "Long live the king, long live the Zhao country." ”

Ma Fuzi pulled out his long sword, pointed the tip of the sword at the sky, and said loudly: "If you don't break the Qin army, you will die and never return." ”

"Kill, kill, kill." The voices of hundreds of thousands of people, breaking through the sky, are magnificent and intense.

Suddenly, the drums beat loudly and the shouts shook the sky. When the drumming stopped, the celebrant said, "The hour has come." ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Ma Fujun, let's go on the expedition!" ”

Ma Fuzi stepped down from the high platform, boarded the chariot, raised his arms and shouted, "Go to the battle." ”
