Pingyangjun stood at the palace gate and waited anxiously, and when he saw Lin Xiangru coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Lin Shangqing, how is the situation?" ”

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said, "I'm old." ”

Pingyangjun hadn't come back to his senses yet, but he saw that Lin Xiangru had already walked away.

One person came to Pingyangjun and asked, "Lin Shangqing, what do you mean by this?" ”

Pingyang Jun pondered for a while, looked at the court, and sighed: "It's embarrassing, Lin Shangqing." I should not have invited him into the palace to persuade the king. The current king will not listen to anyone! ”

Ma Fuzi was in the mansion, and a person walked in and congratulated: "Ma Fuzi, congratulations." ”

Ma Fuzi saw that the person who came was Gongzier, the son of the great priest, and said with a smile: "What are you congratulating me?" ”

Gongzi'er asked, "Has the king summoned you to the palace to discuss military affairs?" ”

Ma Fuzi and the comer are better, and they don't hide it, "There is such a thing." The king asked me to fight against the Qin State, to attack and defend. There is a few percent chance of winning against Wang Di. ”

Childe asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

"I said we should take the initiative. I am at war with Wang Ji, and he is no match for me. ”

"Your thoughts coincide with those of the king. The king listened to your words and intended to use you as a general to replace Lian Po and fight against Qin. You're going to have to fight for me. ”

"You're thinking too much." Ma Fuzi recalled the words he said in the palace, as well as Zhao Wangdan's reaction, "Your Majesty, how can you use me as a general to replace Lian Po." ”

"When you talk to the king, not only the courtiers know it, but even the soldiers and civilians of Handan know it. Your support is so loud now that no one can replace you. Today, the king is discussing politics, and in front of the courtiers, he asks you as a general. As a result, the ministers are all for you. My father said that it was a matter of time before you replaced Lian Po to attack Qin. I'll tell you as soon as I get the news. Gongzi Er said again, "Before you worship the general, you can't forget me." ”

Ma Fuzi said excitedly: "If you can really get what you want, you will not forget it." ”

"I'll find out for you again."

"Thank you."

Ma Fuzi sent Gongzier away, thinking that he could replace Lian Po and make contributions to Qin, and he was overjoyed. Ma Fuzi wants to tell his mother, wife and children about the news. When Mother Zhao heard the news, she said calmly: "What's so happy about this." ”

Ma Fuzi Kaikai said: "The king worships the child as a general, replacing Lian Po." At such an age, a child can command an army of hundreds of thousands and fight against the Qin State. The child will inherit and carry forward his father's martial arts. Mother, how can the child not be happy? ”

Mother Zhao was not happy that her son was valued by King Zhao, but was a little more worried, "The king worships you as a general, you had better refuse." ”

When Ma Fuzi heard this, his fanaticism was mostly gone, and he asked, "Mother, why is this?" ”

"It's not a good errand, push it!" Mother Zhao didn't look at Ma Fuzi, and said indifferently.

King Zhao worships him as a general, which is a great honor. Mother Zhao said this, which made Ma Fuzi very puzzled and asked, "Mother, what are these words?" This is an opportunity to inherit and carry forward his father's martial arts, and it is also an opportunity to make a name for himself. Mothers should be proud of their children. ”

Seeing that the child did not see through the situation, Zhao's mother was complacent alone, and said in a calm tone: "I don't care if you can inherit and carry forward your father's martial arts." What I care about is whether our family can be together in peace. ”

"Meritorious service is the dream of many men. It's also a child's dream. The child inherits and carries forward his father's martial arts, and our family will be able to gain a foothold in Handan. Ma Fuzi saw that her mother was too womanly, and said, "Our family can be together again." ”

"It's a shame that you're a smart person, how can you not see through the situation in Zhao Kingdom." Mother Zhao saw that the child only knew about making meritorious contributions, but she didn't know that honor and infamy were equal, and said angrily, "Where did the book you read?" ”

"The child doesn't understand what the mother says."

When Zhao's mother saw the smart child, she couldn't understand what she said, and asked, "Let me ask you, how Lian Po uses soldiers." ”

Zhao Kuo lives in Handan, doesn't he know the name of Lian Po, and blurted out, "Lian Po is a famous general in my country, who can fight habitually, and has been famous for more than 30 years." Its use of troops is unmatched. ”

Mother Zhao saw that her son had no one in her eyes, and asked again: "You can compare with Lian Po." ”

Although Ma Fuzi is arrogant, he still has some respect for Lian Po, and he doesn't dare to say anything unashamed, "Children can't be compared." ”

Mother Zhao saw that the child was still sober, and did not speak wildly, she was arrogant, and asked: "Lian Po can't win against Qin, you can win." ”

Ma Fuzi said: "Lian Po is good at defending, not good at attacking." The child is good at attacking, which is why the king asked the child to replace Lian Po. ”

"Your father still respects Lian Po. You even say that he is not good at attacking. Zhao Mu said, "Lian Po is not good at attacking, how can he break through the army alone, and how can he get the title of the prince of Yongguan." Your father once said what a famous soldier is, you remember. ”

"The child remembers." Ma Fuzi said: "Father said that as a famous general, he is invincible and invincible. If you keep it, no one can break it. ”

"Lian Po can attack, and the battle will be won. Retreat can be defended, not defeated. None of these famous generals could stop the offensive of the Qin army. If you go, you can be sure of defeating the Qin army. ”

Ma Fuzi said confidently: "The child understands the opponent and is sure to defeat the Qin army." ”

Mother Zhao saw that the child was arrogant again, her face sank, and she asked: "Fighting in all directions, the experienced Lian Po is not sure to defeat the Qin army. Are you sure you won? ”

Seeing that he was underestimated by his mother, Ma Fuzi deliberately raised his voice, "The child thinks that this battle should be fought." ”

Mother Zhao didn't want to hear it, and she couldn't understand it, so she interrupted: "The battlefield is changeable, how can it be child's play." If this battle is won, it will be famous all over the world. If this battle is lost, it will surely leave a reputation for eternity. You've figured it out. ”

"Wealth and glory are sought in danger." Ma Fuzi had already made a choice, and said in a loud voice, "Back then, when the Qin State attacked me, the generals also said that they couldn't fight. My father advocated fighting, and only then did he become famous in a war, shaking our dynasty and exalting the princes. I am not as good as my father, but I am also imitating him. ”

"Zhao Guo has a lot of talents, not to mention Lian Po. There are also Hope Zhujun, Du Changjun, Xu Li, Le Cheng, Lou Chang and others in our country. These people are all fierce generals left by the previous king. Pingyang Jun, Pingyuan Jun, Yu Qing and others are all people full of wisdom. They were all in favor of defending as an offense. Why did the king choose you if he didn't need them? ”

"The king has taken a fancy to my talents."

"Your talents?" Mother Zhao said disgustedly: "Your talent is as powerful as these people who are fighting in all directions." They're not the ones who have been honed out of the battlefield. Why didn't they replace Lian Po, was it because they didn't want to establish a career and leave a name for future generations? Of course not. It's because they know what this battle represents. ”

Ma Fuzi calmed down, pondering what her mother said.

Mother Zhao said again: "In this battle, the king hesitated, it was a battle, it was a peace, and he was indecided. These people just understood the young man's heart and were in a hurry to succeed, so they refused to lead the army to the battle. If you are a general, you have no prestige. How to lead an army to fight against the Qin State. ”

"Father said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Child..."

"More than ten years ago, your father led the army. All the generals were dissatisfied, and even the virtuous and capable former king was suspicious. The king's employment of people is far inferior to that of the previous king. Lian Po was loyal to Zhao Guo and made great contributions to Zhao Guoguo. It was not good to cut down Qin, but it took its place. If you can't win, you'll be suspicious of you, so what? ”

"Mother doesn't need to say much. The king has made me his general, and I will receive my command. If you can't defeat the Qin army, the child will sacrifice his life for the country. ”

Zhao's mother said: "If you insist on going, I will cut off the mother-son relationship with you." ”

When Ma Fuzi heard this, he couldn't believe what his ears heard, and asked, "What did the mother say, to cut off the mother-child relationship with the child." ”

"If you don't listen to me, you will cause great disaster. I will not watch you dishonor your father's prestige and endanger the whole family. Zhao's mother saw that her son couldn't listen, "You are so self-conscious." ”

Ma Fuzi's voice was a little choked and said: "How can there be a mother who doesn't want her child to become a dragon and a phoenix." Mother, I am your son. ”

Mother Zhao said: "I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, child, you have to understand your mother's feelings." ”

"Mothers look down on their children so much. Well, the child must prove it to you. After Ma Fuzi finished speaking, he left angrily.

Mother Zhao looked at her son who left, and remembered what Ma Fujun said before he died, "The child has some talent and understands the art of war." He is too conceited, and sooner or later he will fall into a big fight, and even affect the family. I have this son, I am also happy, and I am also excellent! ”

Zhao Wangdan was handling government affairs in the palace, and suddenly heard that Mrs. Ma Fujun asked to see him. Zhao Wangdan didn't expect Zhao's mother to come, so she put down the government affairs in her hand, "Please let her in." ”

After a while, Mother Zhao walked in, knelt down and said, "Concubine, meet the king." ”

"Hurry up, please." Zhao Wangdan asked, "You came to see me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Mother Zhao asked tentatively: "Concubine, I heard many people say that the king intends to replace Lian Po with Wu'er as a general. It's true. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Do you want to be true or false?" ”

Mother Zhao said: "Of course I think this news is fake. ”

Zhao's mother's answer surprised Zhao Wangdan, "The widow's answer to you is true, so what." ”

Mother Zhao showed a frightened look, knelt down and said, "Please take back the king's order, don't take him as a general." ”

"What do you say. Thou shalt take back thy life with a widow. Zhao Wangdan asked, "Why do you want to take back your life?" ”

Mother Zhao affirmed in her tone: "He is not suitable to be a general." ”

"The widow heard that Ma Fuzi and Ma Fujun had a debate and were never defeated. The generals of the DPRK and China are also no match for Ma Fuzi. Zhao Wangdan was not satisfied with this answer, "Why do you say that he can't be a general." ”

Zhao's mother was puzzled: "The king doesn't know, I have self-knowledge about this son." When his father was alive, he also said, "This son is not fit to be a general." ”

Zhao Wangdan never thought that Ma Fujun and his wife would say such a thing, and asked, "What else did Ma Fujun say?" ”

"He said, "Soldiers, death also." And, including, easy to say. If Zhao does not bracket, if it is necessary, those who break the Zhao army will also be bracketed. ”

Zhao Wangdan pondered these words carefully, not the woman in front of him could say it, it must have been said by Ma Fujun. Zhao Wangdan couldn't understand why Ma Fujun said these words. However, this sentence reminded him of the last words of his father and mother. Unconsciously, the corners of Zhao Wangdan's eyes were a little moist.

Mother Zhao said again: "Please don't think of the king as a general." ”

Zhao Wangdan looked at Zhao's mother and didn't speak.

"I know best what this son of mine is capable of. Although he is familiar with military books, he also knows the art of war. However, it is not as good as his father. When his father went to war, there were always many people who gave advice, and there were many people who were loyal to his father and fought to the death. However, he could not listen to anyone's opinions, and acted arbitrarily, which made it easy to spoil the king's affairs. ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to these words and felt that he and Ma Fuzi were somewhat connected by the same fate. Ma Fuzi wants to establish a reputation to surpass his father, why doesn't he want to surpass his father. Zhao Wangdan did not change his opinion, but felt that he wanted to give Ma Fuzi a chance, but also to give himself a chance.

Zhao Wangdan said: "If a widow is a man, how can he change his order." ”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade King Zhao to take back her fate, Zhao's mother said helplessly: "If the king takes Kuo as a general, he will ruin the king's major affairs, and if the king is angry, he must not implicate the family." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan said: "The widow agrees." ”

Mother Zhao achieved her goal and bowed and retired.

Jinchen asked, "Why did Mother Zhao say these words?" ”

Zhao's mother's words reminded Zhao Wangdan of his mother, and said with a light smile: "How can any parent not love their children." Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! ”
