Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo's Polemic

Zhao Wangdan was not in a hurry to show his attitude, looked at Lou Chang, and asked calmly: "What do you think of Ma Fuzi?" ”

Lou Chang didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to be able to keep his composure in this situation, and while feeling surprised, he replied loudly: "The minister thinks that Ma Fuzi has the talent of a general." ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't expect Lou Chang to be called a general, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ma Fuzi has the talent of a general." Lou Chang, are you exaggerating? ”

Lou Chang saw that King Zhao was suspicious, and replied calmly: "It's not that the minister is exaggerating. Ma Fuzi does have the talent of a general. ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't expect Lou Chang to say it again and again, and asked: "What do you think that Ma Fuzi has the talent of a general." ”

Lou Chang said: "Ma Fuzi and Ma Fujun discuss the soldiers, and they can find their own way. Ma Fujun fought against him and never won. ”

"What did you say?" When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he immediately became curious, "Ma Fujun once had a discussion with Ma Fuzi?" ”

"Everyone knows about this." Lou Chang said: "If the king doesn't believe it, you can summon the generals to come and interrogate." The minister has half a word of falsehood, and asks the king to take the head of the minister's item. ”

"The widow believes that you are." Zhao Wangdan saw that Lou Chang's bet was too big, and he had to believe it, "I didn't expect Ma Fujun to discuss the soldiers and lose to Ma Fuzi." It's so funny to listen to. ”

Lou Chang said: "Ma Fuzi discussed with other generals, but he did not meet an opponent. The person who lost to Ma Fuzi was not only Ma Fujun. ”

Zhao Wangdan held back a smile and asked, "In this way, General Lou Chang also lost to Ma Fuzi." ”

Lou Chang said ashamedly: "Minister, I once discussed with Ma Fuzi, and I was defeated three times. ”

"You've lost badly!" Zhao Wangdan saw that Lou Yan, who had always been arrogant, lost to Ma Fuzi. Seeing that Lou slowly lost, he was convinced, presumably Ma Fuzi really had extraordinary skills.

When Lou Chang heard this, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and said calmly: "The minister lost badly, but he was also happy!" To be able to argue with Ma Fuzi about the way of the army, it is worth it if the minister loses. ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he came from the bottom of his heart, and asked the other high-ranking generals, "You also lost to Ma Fuzi,"

Everyone was ashamed and said: "Minister, not as good as Ma Fuzi." ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he was a little curious, what kind of ability did this horse suitor have that could make these generals who fought in the field lose, but he was full of praise.

Lou Chang saw that Zhao Wangdan didn't speak, and said: "The ministers and generals debated with them, and they all lost to Ma Fuzi. The minister believes that Ma Fuzi is good at knowing the art of war and is also a good person who uses soldiers. Ma served the king's exploits, defeated the tyrannical Qin, and became famous among the princes. This son's art of war, courage and strategy are not weak to his father. Ma Fuzi will be able to be blue out of the blue, and better than the blue. This is also the reason why the minister recommended Ma Fuzi to replace Lian Po. ”

Everyone also said: "Minister, second." ”

"Listening to you say this, the widow wants to meet Ma Fuzi." Zhao Wangdan asked, "Ma Fuzi, where is it?" ”

The chief priest said: "Ma Fu Jun died, and Ma Fuzi guarded his father's spirit. The spiritual period expired, and he just returned to Handan. ”

Zhao Wangdan shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, why don't you go and call Ma Fuzi into the palace." ”

The eunuch Ling hurriedly said: "Minister, let's go and summon Ma Fuzi into the palace." ”

The eunuch ordered to come to the mansion of Mafu Jun and ordered someone to send a prayer post. Before Ma Fujun was alive, this mansion had supreme glory. With the death of Ma Fujun, this mansion has become a lot deserted.

"As the saying goes, the world is impermanent, and people go to tea and cool, and that's it." The eunuch Ling thought about the illustrious figure in front of Ma Fujun, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel it. The eunuch Ling thought about it, Ma Fujun became famous because of his achievements in attacking Qin, and he did not take pride in his achievements, but treated people kindly. Ma Fujun was not tolerated by the minister because he was too upright.

Ma Fuzi learned that the eunuch Ling came to visit, so he hurriedly walked out of the gate and went to greet him: "I didn't know that the Great Order was here, and I couldn't welcome him from afar, so please don't blame the Great Order." ”

The eunuch Ling replied: "Ma Fuzi, it's serious." ”

Ma Fujun raised his hand and said, "Great Order, please come in." ”

The eunuch ordered: "Ma Fuzi, the king has summoned you to the palace." ”

Ma Fuzi exclaimed, "The king wants to see me." ”

"I have come at the command of the king."

"Great Order, why does the king want to see me?" Ma Fuzi wanted to get some information from the other party.

"Don't embarrass the ministers."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Ma Fuzi didn't ask much, so he hurriedly said, "Please lead the way." ”

"The king has a word, please wear a military costume into the palace."

"I'm going to change my clothes." Although Ma Fuzi didn't know what this sentence meant, he had to obey the edict.

The eunuch Ling walked into the palace and saluted: "Your Majesty, Ma Fuzi is here." ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Xuan him in." ”

"Xuan, Ma Fuzi, enter the temple." Wave after wave, wave after voice, sent out.

After a short time, Ma Fuzi entered the main hall wearing a military uniform and saluted: "Minister, see the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that Ma Fuzi was wearing a military uniform, his spirit was radiant, he was really heroic, and he had the posture of his father, so he raised his hand and said, "Give me a seat." ”

"Thanks, Your Majesty." Ma Fuzi found a place and sat down, "Your Majesty, summon the ministers into the palace, I don't know why." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "The widow heard that you once had a war with Ma Fujun, and you actually won?" But really. ”

Ma Fuzi said humbly: "My father let me, I can win." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "In my dynasty, many generals have fought with you and lost." ”

Ma Fuzi didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to know these things, and he didn't dare to be arrogant, "The minister just won by luck." ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that the other party was quick to talk, and said straight to the point: "There is a problem that traps the widow. The widow needs your answer. ”

Ma Fuzi said: "Minister, know everything, say everything." ”

Zhao Wang Dan's eyebrows moved, his expression changed suddenly, and he lamented: "You have heard about the war between my country and the Qin State!" ”

Ma Fuzi didn't expect that Zhao Wangdan summoned him to the palace to inquire about the war between the two countries, so he nodded and said, "The minister heard about it." ”

Zhao Wangdan remembered the battle situation ahead, had a headache, and sighed, "The current situation of the widow is that he can't advance, and he can't retreat." The widow heard that you had fought with Ma Fujun and the generals, and you had never been defeated. The widow called you to ask. How to fight this battle. ”

Ma Fuzi couldn't guess Zhao Wangdan's intentions, but when he thought that this was the best moment to establish his merits, he mustered up the courage and said: "The king wants the ministers to say, and the ministers will be brave." ”

In order to dispel the other party's concerns, Zhao Wangdan raised his voice and said, "There is no one else here. You don't have to be taboo, you can speak freely. ”

With this sentence, Ma Fuzi had no scruples in his heart, and said loudly: "The minister thinks that the battle against the Qin State cannot be defended. ”

"Can't keep it?" Zhao Wangdan pondered a little, and said: "You can only attack." ”

Ma Fuzi said loudly: "The minister believes that against the Qin State, we should take the initiative to attack, instead of fighting a protracted war of attrition with the Qin State. ”

"The widow agrees with you." Zhao Wangdan was overjoyed when he heard this. Looking at the person in front of him who was not a few years older than himself, he felt more and more that it was much better than those old ministers and veterans.

Ma Fuzi sensed Zhao Wangdan's thoughts, and said freely: "We don't take the initiative to fight, in order to defend and consume the Qin army." This is an insult to men. This battle was also too aggrieved. ”

Although Zhao Wangdan was touched by the other party's words, he also tried his best to control his reason and asked: "The widow asked many people, and they all said that it was not appropriate to take the initiative to fight. We should fight a war of attrition with the state of Qin. ”

Ma Fuzi asked, "Your Majesty, can we fight a war of attrition with the Qin State?" ”

"China's comprehensive national strength is not comparable to that of Qin. Qin can fight, but my country can't afford to drag it out. Zhao Wangdan took a deep breath and said, "This is also a matter of widowhood and worry." ”

Ma Fuzi saw that Zhao Wangdan didn't want to fight a war of attrition, so he catered to him: "What the king said is very true. China is fighting a war of attrition with Qin, and our country cannot afford to spend it, nor can it afford to drag it out. We should have a quick battle with the Qin State. ”

"The widow also wants to fight quickly, but there is no quick victory." Zhao Wangdan said again: "There is no need for widows, so worry about it again." ”

Ma Fuzi said: "My father once said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. We are fighting against the Qin State, who is braver. Whom the victory will belong. ”

Zhao Wangdan looked at him and asked, "If it were you, how would you fight against Wang Di." ”

Ma Fuzi saw that Zhao Wangdan was deliberately testing him, so he slowed down his speech and said: "Wang Yi is good at attacking, not good at defense, and he is cautious in his use of troops. General Lian Lao blocked the offensive of the Qin army at the Dan River, and had already eliminated the Qin army's sharp spirit. If I take the initiative, I will definitely be able to break the deadlock and defeat Wang Di. ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "You have a few chances of winning against Wang Di." ”

Ma Fuzi said contemptuously: "Wang Yi, you are not my opponent. ”

When Zhao Wang Dan saw the person in front of him, he actually despised his opponent and asked: "Lian Po can't defeat Wang Di, it's enough to see that Wang Di is not weak in his army." ”

Ma Fuzi said with a smile: "The commander of the Qin army is white, and I am not sure." The commander of the Qin army is Wang Di, and I will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "Why did Lian Po choose to defend as an attack. ”

"General Lian is old, and he is too cautious in using soldiers." Ma Fuzi deliberately raised his voice, "If we can surprise and attack its unpreparedness, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army." ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that Ma Fuzi was very courageous, and his idea of taking the initiative to fight also coincided with him. I heard him say that he was sure and defeated the Qin general Wang Di, and I was overjoyed. However, Zhao Wangdan still did not immediately state his position. The current situation is not something he can fully control. In particular, many people in Zhao supported Lian Po's strategy of taking defense as offense.

Zhao Wangdan rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, and said: "Hard, Ma Fuzi solves the doubts of the widow." Lack of people, that's all for today. ”

Ma Fuzi thought that Zhao Wangdan would ask more deeply, and even use him as a general to go to conquer the Qin State. In this way, he will be able to make a name for himself and carry forward his father's prestige. However, Zhao Wangdan's words shattered his only remaining hope.

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan didn't want to say more, Ma Fuzi also chose to stop in moderation, and saluted: "Minister, retire." ”

After Ma Fuzi left, Zhao Wangdan asked, "What do you think after hearing about it?" ”

The eunuch ordered: "Ma Fujun has a son, and he can rest in peace." ”

"yes!" Zhao Wangdan thought of Ma Fuzi's heart-wrenching words, "Ma Fujun has his son, which is enough to rest in peace." ”

The eunuch Ling asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you plan to replace Lian Po with a horse suit?" ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't answer, but asked: "The widow can replace Lian Pohu with Ma Fuzi?" ”

"The change of generals is related to the society." The eunuch ordered: "Please, the king thinks twice." ”

"Don't worry!" Zhao Wangdan saw that the other party was too nervous, and said: "King Yanhui lost a fiasco, and the widow still remembers it vividly. ”

The eunuch Ling didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to be so sober, and was slightly surprised. Subsequently, Zhao Wangdan said, "We can't fight a war of attrition with Qin, Lian Po has to be exchanged." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he didn't come back to his senses.

Zhao Wangdan looked at the direction outside the hall, and said: "After listening to Ma Fuzi's words, the widow's blood is boiling, and he also has the confidence to defeat the Qin army. You leaked the news that the widow was a general. The widow wanted to know what the military and civilians thought. ”
