The next day, Lin Xiangru had just woken up, but he heard the sound of drums and shouts. Lin Xiangru walked to the door and saw many people rushing in the direction of the palace. Lin Xiangru stopped someone and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The man replied: "Lin Shangqing, the king worships the horse and the prince as a general, and sets out on the expedition." ”

When Lin Xiangru heard this, his face changed suddenly, "The king takes Ma Fuzi as his general and sets out on the expedition?" ”

Seeing that Lin Xiangru's expression was wrong, the man saluted and walked away quickly.

Lin Xiangru walked a few steps, vomited blood in his mouth, looked at the direction of the palace, and looked desolate, "The first king, the minister is incompetent!" ”

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, he returned to the mansion and said disheartenedly: "Close the door, no one, I won't see you." ”

Pingyuanjun returned to the mansion after participating in the expedition ceremony, but saw Yu Qing, Wei Qi and others waiting anxiously. Pingyuanjun smiled: "Why are you here?" ”

Yu Qing said anxiously: "Pingyuan-kun, at this time, can you still laugh?" ”

Pingyuanjun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you, why can't I laugh?" ”

Wei Qi continued: "Pingyuan Jun, King Zhao will replace Lian Po with Ma Fuzi as his general. This is not a small matter! ”

Yu Qing asked, "Why didn't Pingyuan Jun dissuade the king?" ”

Pingyuan Jun said helplessly: "If the king doesn't listen, I can't help it." ”

"It's broken, it's broken." Yu Qing screamed miserably: "My country's disaster is not far away!" ”

Pingyuan Jun said with a moved expression: "Yu Qing, why do you say this." ”

"Ma Fuzi has no military exploits, and there is no virtue. The king asked him to replace General Lian, and the soldiers would definitely not be convinced. With the slightest mistake, Zhao will not only be unable to defend against Qin, but will also be reborn with civil strife. Yu Qing sighed: "Zhao Guo's disaster is not far away. ”

"It's not that bad!" Pingyuan Jun said: "I have seen Ma Fuzi, he has his father's majestic posture, and he is also good at the art of war." With him as his general, the king may be able to surprise and defeat the Qin army. ”

Yu Qing saw that Pingyuan Jun had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, so he raised his tone and said: "In the battle formation, you must not only be proficient in the art of war, but also have courage and bravery. Although Ma Fuzi knew the art of war, he had no experience in big wars. Admiral Wang handed over the power of battle to Ma Fuzi. Once, this combatable force, something happened. Handan is in danger, and Zhao is in danger. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Yu Qing, you are too alarmist. ”

Yu Qing saw that the clever Pingyuan Jun had not yet understood the crisis at the critical moment, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Wei Qi interjected: "Pingyuanjun, Yu Qing is right. Ma Fuzi is good at the art of war, but he has not experienced major battles and has no experience in battle. King Zhao entrusted the power of battle to Ma Fuzi. Once the war is in danger. Zhao has no troops to dispatch, so Handan is not in danger. ”

Yu Qing asked: "The old general Lian is highly respected, but he was replaced by Ma Fuzi. What will General Lian think? Northland soldiers, what will they think? The soldiers of the Northland and the soldiers of Handan cannot work together. In this battle, we will lose. ”

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Pingyuan-kun broke out in a cold sweat behind his back and asked, "What should we do." ”

Wei Qi said: "The old general Lian is highly respected in the army, but he was replaced by Ma Fuzi. Even if General Lian Lao focuses on the overall situation, the soldiers in the north will be dissatisfied. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause new chaos. Pingyuanjun, I still have to find a way to stabilize the old general Lian. Only by the old general Lian can the generals of the Northland be suppressed, and only then can the soldiers of the Northland and the soldiers of Handan work together. ”

Pingyuan Jun panicked and shouted, "Yu Qing, you have the most methods. How can we stabilize the old general Lian, and how can we make the soldiers of Beidi and Handan work together to fight for the country. ”

Yu Qing said: "Who else can persuade the old general Lian." ”

Ping Yuanjun instantly thought of a person in his mind, and shouted, "Lin Shangqing." ”

Ping Yuanjun, Yu Qing, Wei Qi and others went to Lin Xiangru's mansion together. Seeing that the door of the mansion was closed, Pingyuan Jun ordered someone to knock on the door and send a prayer post.

The doorman opened the door and saluted: "Lin Shangqing is sick and will not see the guest." Everyone, please come back! ”

Seeing that Lin Xiangru was closed, Pingyuan Jun asked, "Yu Qing, what should we do?" ”

"Lin Xiangru, get out of here." After speaking, Yu Qing rushed in. The doorman wanted to stop him, but he couldn't.

When Pingyuan Jun saw it, he had no other way but to follow Yu Qing and rush in. Lin Xiangru saw the noise outside, and called a person to ask, "What happened outside?" ”

One person ran in and shouted, "Lin Shangqing, Pingyuanjun, Yu Qing and others ask to see you." ”

"Nope." Lin Xiangru commanded.

The man said, "I can't stop it." ”

After a while, Yu Qing came to the front and shouted, "Lin Shangqing, why don't you see me waiting." ”

Lin Xiangru coughed a little, looked at everyone, and said in a weak voice: "I'm old and useless." ”

When Pingyuan Jun heard these words, he felt extremely sad, presumably Lin Xiangru was still sad about the matter in the court, and saluted: "The king is young and ignorant, and he has said a lot of rude things. I amone for your sins on behalf of the king. Please, Lin Shangqing don't take it to heart. ”

"Pingyuan-kun is serious." Lin Xiangru never thought that Pingyuanjun would put down his body, "The minister is old, and he wants to give advice to Zhao Guo, but he has no energy, I want to spend the rest of my days quietly." ”

Yu Qing said: "Handan survives, Lin Shangqing doesn't care?" ”

Lin Xiangru said: "With you here, how can Handan be in trouble?" ”

"Admiral Wang entrusted Handan's fighting power to Ma Fuzi." Yu Qing said: "Ma Fuzi replaced Lian Po, and there was a mistake in the handover. The soldiers of the Northland and the soldiers of Handan were at odds. There is a violent Qin outside, and there are near-worries inside. Handan, isn't it dangerous. ”

Lin Xiangru said: "The king didn't listen to me, and replaced Lian Po with Ma Fuzi as the general." You have come to me, and I am powerless. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Please, Lin Shangqing looks at Brother Wang's face and advises the old general Lian." General Lian Lao attaches importance to the overall situation, and the soldiers of Beidi and Handan can work together. ”

Yu Qing said: "Old General Lian and Lin Shangqing are better. Lin Shangqing said, how could the old general not listen. In this battle, if we lose, Handan will be in danger. How can we, who are still alive, be worthy of the kindness of the previous kings? ”

"Stabilize the old general Lian, and leave it to me." Lin Xiangru shouted, "Take the pen." ”

Pingyuanjun took off the cloth towel on his body and handed it to Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru lifted the pen on the cloth towel, worked hard to write, and completed it in one go.

Lin Xiangru wrote it and handed it to Pingyuanjun, "That's all I can do." ”

Pingyuanjun took the cloth towel, didn't look at it, put it away, hid it in his big sleeve, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lin Shangqing." ”

Ping Yuanjun, Yu Qing, Wei Qi and others said goodbye to Lin Xiangru and left the mansion. Wei Qi asked, "What did Lin Shangqing write?" ”

Ping Yuanjun took out the cloth towel and unfolded it to watch, and saw that there were a lot of past events between Lin Xiangru and Lian Po written in it. Pingyuanjun looked behind him and saw that it read, "The big war is imminent, please think of the family, the country and the society, and don't take personal honor and disgrace." ”

After reading it, Pingyuanjun sighed: "Lin Xiangru, he is really a national warrior!" ”

Lian Po was on the east side of the Dan River, blocking the Qin army's offensive after offensive. With the stalemate in the war between Qin and Zhao, the burden on Lian Po is not light. On the one hand, Lian Po had to guard against the military pressure of the Qin State, and on the other hand, he had to stabilize the morale of the army.

On this day, Lian Po summoned his generals and was in the marching tent to deal with government affairs. The Handan scout came in a hurry to deliver a letter. Lian Po read the letter, and his heart was full of sadness: "I was born and died for Zhao Guo, but King Zhao exchanged me for a vertical son, which is really too deceitful. ”

When the generals heard this, they were also angry.

"If the king replaces me, forget it, he replaces me with a shaft." Lian Po asked, "You tell me what to do." ”

One humanitarian: "We fought bloodily on the front line, but the king exchanged the vertical son for the old general." How can we endure such humiliation? ”

Everyone said in unison: "We must not bear it." ”

"I can't stand it either." Lian Po remembered that he had worked hard for Zhao Guo, but he was suspicious of King Zhao and replaced him.

At that moment, another scout walked in and handed over the letter. Lian Po opened the letter and saw that the handwriting was written by Lin Xiangru. After reading the letter, Lian Po understood the situation in Handan, calmed the unhappiness in his heart, and sighed: "That's it! That's it! The humiliation I have suffered is nothing compared to my home and country. If the king changes me, change it! ”

One person asked, "Old General Lian, how can you endure such humiliation." ”

Everyone said in unison: "The last general can't bear it." ”

Lian Po looked at the deep friendship between the generals and said gratefully: "Thanks to the love of the princes, Lian Po is where he is today." Now, our war with the Qin State has entered a critical period, and we are at odds internally, and we are easily defeated by the Qin State. For the sake of the family, the country and the society, what about being humiliated. ”

"General Lian was replaced like this, I can't wait!"

"Old General Lian is gone."

"The king doesn't believe me, what am I staying here for? Just because I accept the king's orders does not mean that I will listen to the dictator. If the king doesn't believe me, I can't go back to Handan. Lian Po smiled lightly: "If I don't leave, how can the king let me live." ”

"The old general Lian is loyal and courageous, how could the king... How..."

Lian Po knew what the other party wanted to express, "The king has ordered me to fight many times, but I refused to fight and disobeyed the king's orders." The king is young and suspicious, and he will definitely think that I am arrogant and domineering. The king is not at ease with me! ”

Everyone was indignant and said: "How can the king treat the old general Lian like this, doesn't it make us feel cold!" ”

Lian Po also felt cold and sad, but he didn't show it, and pretended to be relaxed: "I don't obey the king's orders, the king doesn't kill me, but replaces me, that is also remembering my merits." ”

"General Lian disobeys the order, it is a mistake in the king's edict."

Lian Po said: "As long as the king has the result, he will not ask about the process." ”

"General Lian disobeyed orders and returned to Handan, wouldn't it be impossible to escape death."

"Old General Lian, we might as well ..."

"No." Lian Po shouted: "The first king has the grace of knowing me, how can I do something against the Zhao State." ”

"The king didn't trust the old general, so he asked for a shaft to change him. When the old general Lian returned to Handan, he would be punished for the lighter case, and the heavier one would be killed. ”

"As long as General Lian gives an order, we will all listen to General Lian's dispatch."

Lian Po looked at these generals who followed him on the southern and northern expeditions and experienced great battles, "Lian Po can fight with you, which is really a great joy in life." The king's suspicion of me and his need for me is indeed chilling to me. However, we are all Zhao men, how can we be reckless and ruin national affairs because we have been wronged. Our infighting is not exactly what the Qin State wants to see. It is an eventful autumn in front of us, and we should unite as one to defend the frontier and attack Qin. ”

The generals saw that Lian was quite humiliated, but he still considered national affairs and admired them.

Lian Po said with a smile: "For the sake of my family and country, I have been wronged, what is it." Ladies and gentlemen, whether I am the chief general or not, you must carry out the orders of the new general. Only by uniting can we defeat the Qin State. Though I am not here, my soul is with you. ”

The generals said in unison: "Obey the orders of the old general." ”

"That's very good." Lian Po calmed the generals and said, "I can go back to Handan with peace of mind." ”

As soon as Lian Po's words fell, Ma Fuzi's confidant Qiu Hao, wearing battle armor, walked in, bowed down and said: "The last general, on the order of Ma Fujun, came to ask General Lian to negotiate the handover." ”

One person asked: "Ma Fujun has passed away, why did he come to Ma Fujun." ”

Qiu Hao said: "Ma Fu Jun died, and his son Kuo inherited the title of Ma Fu Jun." ”

"Why didn't Ma Fuzi come to the barracks to see me." Lian Po saw that the other party was silent, and he couldn't ask anything, "That's it, that's it." Ma Fuzi didn't have the courage to come to the barracks to see me, and it didn't hurt if I went to see him. ”

The generals said in unison: "Old General Lian, be careful of deception. ”

Seeing that the generals were worried about their safety, Lian Po said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ma Fuzi is also a person with status, how can he embarrass me." ”

The generals couldn't bear to let Lian Po go to make a mistake, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to go with General Lian." ”

Lian Po said: "We are all gone, what should we do if the Qin State comes to attack." You stay, and I'll go alone to see Mafuko. ”

Ma Fuzi was also not sure to persuade Lian Po, nor was he sure that he would be able to carry out the power transfer ceremony smoothly. Ma Fuzi knew that if he went to the Lian Po big account, he would be responsible for the handover. When there is a conflict of words, it will cause unrest. Ma Fuzi was unwilling to expand the conflict, so he could only let his cronies go and invite Lian Po.

Ma Fuzi was anxiously waiting for news, when he saw a cronie running over and said, "Ma Fujun, Lian Po is here." ”

Ma Fuzi asked, "How many people came?" ”

"It's just one person."

Ma Fuzi said: "Lian Po is worthy of being a bold person. I couldn't get along with General Lian, so I took the wine bottle as the sign. ”

Lian Po came to Ma Fuzi's line, and as soon as he stopped his way, he shouted, "To enter the line, you need to take off the blade." ”

"Presumptuous?" Lian Po shouted: "This sword was given by the first king, and it has followed me for decades and is inseparable. When I unload my sword, I am disrespectful to the king. ”

"Please General Lian, don't embarrass me."

Ma Fuzi walked out of the camp and shouted, "Ma Fuzi meets Old General Lian." ”

Lian Po looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the king to exchange you for me." There are really successors to the country! ”

"Thank you, General Lian, for your love." Ma Fuzi stretched out his hand and said, "Old General Lian, please inside." ”

Lian Po walked into the camp tent, sat in his position, felt a strong murderous aura, and shouted: "Come out!" Big husband, above board, no need to hide. ”

When Ma Fuzi saw the arrangement, he was recognized by Lian Po, and said straight to the point: "I am ordered by the king to come to replace General Lian." This is the king's edict, please take a look at the old general. ”

Lian Po didn't look at it and asked, "If I don't hand over military power, will you kill me?" ”

Ma Fuzi said: "Where did General Lian say?" ”

Lian Po said: "Isn't it." ”

"The old general Lian is loyal and courageous, and he is dedicated to the country. Who in Zhao Guo doesn't know, and who doesn't. General Lian Lao is a hero of our country, and everyone admires him, so how can he be killed. I believe that for the sake of the overall situation, General Lian will definitely hand over power to me, and he will not embarrass me, a junior. Ma Fuzi bowed down and said, "Old General Lian, go with peace of mind!" I'll take care of the rest. ”

"I thought that I would have the opportunity to fight with the Qin God of War in my life." Lian Po said sadly: "It seems that there is no chance to fight with it." ”

"Old General Lian, before leaving, what else do you have to explain."

"Wang Yi is good at using soldiers, and you need to be cautious and careful in this battle." Lian Po took a breath and said, "Ma Fuzi knows the art of war, so I won't say more." Please, Mafuko pay attention to one person. ”

Ma Fuzi asked, "Who." ”

"White up."

"I made a note of it."

"You're here, it's none of my business here." Lian Po advised: "I should also go back to Handan." ”

"Send, General Lian." Ma Fuzi walked out of the camp tent to see him off, looked at the back of Lian Po leaving, and sighed: "Although this person is anxious, he is good at using soldiers. For the sake of the overall situation, he does not hesitate to disgrace himself. Lian Po is worthy of being a famous general in my country. I'm not as good as Lianpo! ”
