"Your Majesty, if Ma Fuzi can't control the overall situation, then it will be difficult for the two divisions of our army to respond, and it will be difficult to capture Changping Pass." When Lian Po heard this, he hurriedly came out and said: "I am willing to take command to attack Changping Pass, and everything is under the command of Ma Fuzi, and I will definitely capture Changping Pass for my king, please allow the king." ”

As soon as Lian Po stood up and said this, Zhao Sheng and Lin Xiangru both sighed, and began to feel a little uneasy about the next battle in their hearts. Lian Poming said that he listened to Zhao Kuo's command, but he actually harmed Zhao Kuo. When King Zhao heard that the oldest general in his country took the initiative to obey the orders of the general who now led the most troops, it was estimated that he would not be able to sleep at night.

King Zhao waved his hand and said, "I heard Touch Long say that his son Shu Qi is familiar with military books, no less than Zhao Kuo." ”

Touching the dragon stood up and said loudly: "Yes, my son is skilled in the art of war, and he once talked with Zhao Kuo about the art of war, regardless of victory or defeat." ”

King Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, I intend to let Shu Qi take command and lead 200,000 troops to attack Changping Pass." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Pang Xuan was the first to stand up and said loudly: "King, Shu Qi has never led soldiers, and he only knows a little bit of the art of war, so it's not appropriate for him to lead troops to fight." ”

Before King Zhao could speak, Touch Long stood up, pointed at Pang Xuan's nose and scolded: "Pang Xuan, what do you mean, then Zhao Kuo didn't only talk about soldiers before, he didn't know how to fight, and now he has a small victory over the Qin army." My son Shu Qi is familiar with military books, is it not as good as that Zhao Kuo. ”

"Ma Fuzi has at least been in battle with Ma Fujun before, and Ma Fujun has hundreds of guests, many of whom are veterans." Pang Xuan said.

Seeing this scene, Shangqing Lou Chang on the side stood up and said: "Ma Fujun's father and son are not from the military, Ma Fujun was just a tax collector at the beginning, and Ma Fuzi was even more inexperienced, and he also defeated the Qin army one after another. The so-called people who are born to know the army are nothing more than that. Shu Qi has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows the art of war, no less than Ma Fuzi, if he is in command, presumably our army will succeed. ”

Others have to be persuaded again. King Zhao's favorite Jianxinjun stood up and said: "I asked Zhao Kuo to be in command before, but you also said that he only knew the art of war and didn't know how to be flexible. If it weren't for the fact that I, Wang Li, overrode public opinion and appointed Zhao Kuo, would I be able to have today's situation? I think some people are reluctant to give up their military power, so they blindly suppress young generals like Shu Qi and don't want them to lead troops. Hmph, his heart can be punished. ”

As soon as he said this, Lian Po's face immediately turned red, and the others were afraid of angering King Zhao, so they didn't dare to persuade him anymore. Shu Qi took command of the expedition to Changpingguan, and it was decided.

Lou Chang and Jian Xinjun were secretly happy in their hearts, and their families were going to dig another cave and put gold.

Where did the gold come from, the Qin people sent it.

Touching the dragon was also very happy, he thought that Qin was strong and Zhao was weak, and the battle of Changping must be very difficult, but seeing Zhao Kuo defeating the Qin army so easily, he also moved the idea of letting his young son Shu Qi lead the troops to fight and seize the merits.

What's more, Touching the Dragon is King Zhao's person from beginning to end, when Zhao Weihou, the mother of King Zhao, was in power, there was a time when Qin attacked Zhao, Zhao asked Qi to send troops to help, and Qi asked to let Zhao Weihou's youngest son go over as a hostage.

Zhao Wei was unwilling, and made it clear that he was the most distressed little son. This is not only a matter of not getting the support of the Qi army, but the throne of King Zhao may also be affected, after all, the actual person of Zhao at that time was Empress Zhao Wei. Later, Touchlong took Shu Qi's example to persuade Zhao Wei to let his youngest son go to Qi to be a proton.

King Zhao asked Shu Qi to lead the troops, on the one hand, there was a precedent for Zhao Kuo's success, and on the other hand, because various analyses showed that it was not difficult for Zhao to attack Changping Pass from his own side. After letting Shu Qi lead the troops to brush up on the capital experience, Zhao Kuo's influence in the army can be balanced. The two are of similar age, and they can form long-term competition and confrontation in the future, just like Lian Po and Pang Xuan, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao.

Zhao Sheng and Lin Xiangru understood King Zhao's intentions and no longer persuaded him. The two walked side by side to the gate of the palace.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly towards Lin Xiangru: "Thank you Lin Xiangguo for your help today, and I saved Zhao Kuo." ”

Lin Xiangru didn't respond much, but just said softly: "Those who don't defile themselves can't be handsome, and those who love soldiers like sons can't be handsome." After speaking, Lin Xiangru turned around and left.

Zhao Sheng naturally understands this truth, and he is the one who asked Zhao Kuo to forcibly buy fields and houses before.

King Zhao was suppressed and had no power for a long time after ascending the throne, and the affairs of the country were decided by the Empress Dowager Zhao Wei, and it was often rumored that Empress Dowager Zhao wanted her youngest son to replace King Zhao. King Zhao did not get the opportunity to govern until the death of Empress Dowager Zhao in the second year. Therefore, he attaches great importance to his throne and power, for fear that anything will threaten his throne.

Zhao Kuo's behavior today, although Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin tried to explain the past, but it was too far-fetched after all, if there was a next time, then no one would be able to protect him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng immediately summoned his doormen and wanted to send someone to send a letter to Zhao Kuo to remind Zhao Kuo.

"Gongsun Long, you are good at debating, the white horse is not a horse and is famous all over the world, can you go to Changping for me and persuade Zhao Kuo." Zhao Sheng asked Gongsun Long with an expectant expression.

After hearing Zhao Sheng's words, a middle-aged scribe hurriedly stood up and replied, "Back to the king, I am ill today, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete such a long journey." ”

Handan was not far from Changping, but Gongsun Long came up with an excuse that his body was inappropriate, and Zhao Sheng, who was known as Corporal Lixian, was not able to force it, and he continued to ask his disciples if anyone was willing to go to Changping to send a letter to Zhao Kuo.

In fact, not only Gongsun Long, but most of the disciples of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, were unwilling to go to Changping. The front line is too dangerous, and there is a possibility that the Qin army team may attack at any time on the road.

Besides, if the pass is lost, the people who go there will really stay there forever.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but miss Zhao Cong, who was really a very courageous clansman. It's a pity that Zhao Cong sacrificed himself in order not to let others borrow himself to attack Zhao Kuo.

At this time, a tall doorman took a step forward and said, "I'm willing to go up to Changping for you!" ”

Zhao Sheng was overjoyed in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was a doorman with a somewhat familiar face, but he couldn't name it, so he asked, "How many years has Mr. been under my Zhao Sheng?" ”

The doorman said, "It's been three years." ”

After being under his door for three years, but he didn't even know his name, can such a person be of great use? Zhao Sheng hesitated in his heart and said: "A capable person is in the world, just like an awl in his pocket, his edge will be revealed immediately. Now that Mr. has been with me for three years, I haven't heard anyone around me praise you, I'm afraid that if you don't succeed in persuading Ma Fuzi, it will cause great damage to us Zhao Kingdom! ”

The doorman raised his head and said, "If the king had put me in his pocket a day earlier, the whole awl would have been pierced out a long time ago, wouldn't it be just a little sharp?" ”

Zhao Sheng was still hesitating, but he found that none of the capable disciples under his command were willing to make this trip, so he nodded and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao, I'm really ashamed, I don't know Mr. Lao's name." ”

"Down, Mao Sui."
