Seeing that Zhao Kuo agreed, Zhao's mother was also a little relieved, and then continued: "This battle is your first big battle, the front-line soldiers are fierce, and you can't live without your own people by your side." ”

After a brief pause, Mother Zhao continued: "Most of the people left behind by your father are too old to be useful, only Xu Li is still in the prime of life, and he has a lot of military books and battle formations, and he has a lot of martial arts, which can be regarded as useful. Since he also came to persuade you the day before yesterday, he can be allowed to take the position of general to protect my son's side, and the old body will feel more at ease. ”

"Yes." Zhao Kuo also immediately agreed, it is naturally best to have his own people by his side.

In the intermittent wind chimes, Zhao's mother chattered about Zhao Kuo's expedition again, and before she knew it, it was getting late. The so-called worries of the mother of the child are probably like this.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao's mother didn't sleep all night, and on the tray in the hands of the maids behind her, there were all things that Zhao's mother had prepared for Zhao Kuo overnight - clothes, armor and long swords.

As the sound of the rooster gradually rose, and Zhao Kuo also got up slowly, after some washing, Zhao's mother had come to Zhao Kuo's room, personally put on armor for Zhao Kuo, put on a hat, and put on a snow-white robe, and then endured tears to send the neatly dressed Zhao Kuo out of the mansion in person.

The eunuchs in the palace who were waiting in front of the Zhao Mansion immediately led Zhao Kuo, the horse suit, to the Longtai Palace.

Due to the urgency of the war, the original etiquette of the stage to worship the generals had to be simplified, and only the awarding and farewell ceremony of the tiger talisman was carried out in the council hall.

"Biography, Ma Fujun, go to the palace!" (Zhao Kuo inherited his father's lordship, so he is also known as Ma Fujun.) ）

A shrill voice came from the Longtai Palace, and outside the palace, there were eunuchs repeating the summoning words every ten steps. Obviously, he had already heard the summons inside, but it wasn't until the eunuchs around him sang his summons that the eunuchs in charge of guidance guided Zhao Kuo to the palace.

The heavy door of the hall was slowly opened from the internal test, and the early sun, which was not bright, instantly spilled into the palace through the open door. A figure was slowly emerging from the light.

wears a frost-covered helmet with a handful of red tassels sprinkled on it; Wearing a pair of iron leaves gathered into armor, a red velvet belt around his waist is tied to the armor, and there are fine iron beast faces in front and back to cover his heart. There was a snowy white robe on it, two green velvet ties hanging from it, and a pair of yellow leather boots on his feet. Under the golden light, there is a young and resolute face, and anyone who sees it will call a good son.

The person who came was none other than Ma Fujun, who was about to set foot on the battlefield - Zhao Kuo. I have to say that such a handsome and upright person is rare in the land of Yan Zhao, which has many men, and the customized armor adds a bit of might, and an appearance directly amazes everyone.

The sonorous steps sounded in the empty hall, and in three or two steps, Zhao Kuo had already walked to the front of the imperial steps. I saw him clasping his hands into fists, kneeling on one knee, and saluting King Zhao and saying, "Minister, Ma Fujun, Zhao Kuo, I've seen the king!" ”

The loud and deep voice woke up everyone in a trance, and King Zhao, who was sitting on it, also hurriedly said, "General, please get up." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Kuo agreed dryly.

King Zhao immediately glanced at Pingyuan Jun on the side, signaling that he could start.

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun took out a silk book from the hand of the eunuch on the side, looked at Zhao Kuo with a calm face, and said slowly: "The king's order!" ”

I could only hear the sound of a loud voice, it turned out that the courtiers in the palace knelt on the ground when they heard this, and Zhao Kuo naturally knelt on one knee.

With a "snap", Pingyuan Jun stretched out the silk book in his hand and said loudly:

"Sheji's safety is in danger, one is in the general, now Zhao Qin is tired of fighting on the side of Danshui, Lian is quite old, and the division veterans are tired, I am afraid that there will be accidents. May the horse serve Zhao Kuo, and the handsome teacher will respond to it.

Specially, Zhao Kuo was the general, and led an army of 200,000 (falsely, not so much) to aid the battle of Danshui, and Duping Juntian was the single deputy.

Given, Tiger Talisman. Order the whole army up and down, and those who do not obey can be cut first and then played. ”

As he spoke, Ping Yuanjun skillfully put the silk book in his hand, and held it in front of Zhao Kuo with both hands.

Zhao Kuo immediately raised his hands, took the silk book, and replied: "Minister, Zhao Kuo, take the king's order." ”

A slightly old-fashioned voice behind him immediately replied: "Minister, Tian Dan, take the king's order." ”

Immediately afterwards, King Zhao, who was sitting on the top, slowly got up and came to Zhao Kuo, and a eunuch also followed King Zhao with a wooden tray.

In the tray, it is a simple bronze vessel that looks like a tiger with teeth - Zhao Guohu Fu.

"Give, Tiger Talisman!" Pingyuan-kun's voice sounded again.

Zhao Kuo turned his head slightly, and temporarily stored the silk book of the king's order in his hand, which was already kneeling on the side of the tray, which was held by another eunuch.

"The safety of Zhao Guo is all related to Qing, don't let down this king." King Zhao gently picked up the tiger talisman on the plate, and put the tiger talisman in Zhao Kuo's hand while instructing.

The bronze tiger talisman is slightly cool to start, but the bronze ware of two or two is as heavy as a thousand pounds. The mottled green on it has written the rise and fall of the Zhao Kingdom for a hundred years, and countless heroic spirits have carved deep and shallow marks on the surface of the bronze.

"Fight for the country, liver and brain, don't give up!" Zhao Kuo made his promise in front of the ministers.

Although Zhao Kuo was forced to go on the expedition, although Zhao Kuo also knew that there were many defeats and fewer victories, but at the moment he received the tiger talisman, Zhao Kuo was still excited, and the belief of "fighting for the country" almost blurted out.

Knowing that you can't do it, you don't regret it! The feelings of family and country, maybe that's what I said!

King Zhao helped Zhao Kuo with both hands, and the ministers behind him also got up.

King Zhao took Zhao Kuo's arm and stood under the jade steps facing the ministers, and the ministers bowed down and saluted Zhao Kuo under the leadership of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.

He said: "May the general have a smooth journey and return triumphantly!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, bowing down to each other, the pinnacle of life, but that's it.

Of course, Zhao Kuo understood that all these glories were not obtained by his own ability, one point was the inheritance of his father and Ma Fujun, two points came from the persecution of the domestic people who desperately wanted to save the world, and the remaining seven points were for the rest of the countries, especially the Qin State.

Accept it calmly, how beautiful you can be today, and how embarrassed you will be once you return from defeat.

Slightly calmed down, Zhao Kuo still calmly accepted the Manchu Dynasty's send-off. Without him, if he is determined to resist Qin and protect the country of Zhao, it is enough to be a heavy gift, and as for victory or defeat, it is just a matter of making it up.

Turning around, clasping his hands into fists, he bowed slightly towards King Zhao, which was counted as a parting gift.

As soon as the white robe was lifted, he walked out into the sun outside the hall.
