Zhao State, Handan

The knights sent by Zhao Kuo did not hide the good news on the battlefield along the way. He rode a horse and shouted every time he passed by the towns: "The horses and men killed the generals and seized the flag!! The Yan general died!!" The originally dead land of Zhao State seemed to be ignited after he passed by. The old men laughed, they had new topics of conversation, and some people wanted to ask more questions, but the knights had a mission and were difficult to keep.

The knight was like a burning bonfire. He quickly lit every place he passed by. New vitality broke out in these places that were originally shrouded in anger. The old men bent down and watched the heroes go away. They were excited to talk about the war. From Bai Ren to Handan, there were no cities along the way. Only when they approached Handan, there were only a few towns, which belonged to Handan.

"The horse and son have the same style as his father!"

"Do you know the war between Yanyu back then? Ma Fujun killed the Qin people in Yanyu back then and the army was defeated!"

"I know..." The old man looked a little dazed, with a smile on his lips. He recalled, "I participated in this war back then..." He gestured and said happily, "I killed two Qin people at that time. I just stabbed me, and one Qin people was picked off from the chariot by me..."

When the knights came to the city of Handan, they were stunned for a moment. The gates of Handan City were closed. On the city wall, countless elite Zhao troops were patrolling back and forth. When they saw the knights, they immediately pointed the strong bow in their hands at the knights. The knight was furious and raised his head and cursed: "Don't use your cheating to scare me! I brought information about the war in Bai Ren! Open the door quickly!!"

The city gate was slowly opened, and the arrogant elite soldiers stood on both sides, looking at the knights vigilantly, and then they walked out to investigate. The knights looked at them unhappily. After they finished interrogating, they said angrily: "What a mighty elite. If the Yan people saw it, they would definitely be frightened. Unfortunately, they couldn't see it!" After that, he walked directly into the city, leaving only a few guilty soldiers, lowering their heads.

In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao sat in the banquet with a smile.

Many ministers were sitting in the banquet, and Lou Chang was still complimenting King Zhao's virtues. When talking about the horse costume, he must have defeated the Yan people. The censor Zhao Hui smiled and recorded the grand occasion of the banquet and the conversation between Lou Chang and King Zhao. All the ministers were very happy, but the two, Yu Qing and Xu Li, were incompatible with the joyful atmosphere. Yu Qing looked at the many ministers in front of him angrily and gritted his teeth.

Xu Li just drank bitter wine, one cup after another, almost without interruption.

The arrival of the knight broke the atmosphere of the banquet. When the dusty knight walked into the banquet, Lou Chang closed his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he never spoke again. Only Yu Qing and Xu Li looked at the knight worriedly. The knight bowed to King Zhao and said, "I come with the order of horse cousin." King Zhao widened his eyes and asked with a smile: "How is the war? What do he have to tell me about Ma cousin?"

The knight said seriously: "Ma Fuzi first led 600 knights to attack the Yan people and burned the food and grass of the Yan people. Later, in Bairen, Ma Fuzi led a large army to fight the Yan people to death. Ma Fuzi led the army to the death, charged forward, killed Qing Qin first, and then killed generals and seized the flag. The Yan people were defeated, and Guihu hurried into the city and never dared to attack again!!"

"What?!" Lou Chang jumped up suddenly, and the ministers looked at him in surprise. Lou Chang's face gradually filled with smiles and said tremblingly: "Shangjun, it's true that as the minister said, Ma Fuzi has defeated the Yan people..." King Zhao laughed to the sky at this moment, and was so happy that he didn't know what to say, "No, I want to reward Ma Fuzi, I want to let him inherit the position of Ma Fujun. No, I want to give him twenty cities!!"

Yu Qing let out a breath, then he felt relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Lou Chang's lips trembled, and after thinking for a long time, he hurriedly asked the knight: "I heard that Qing Qin of Yan State and Li Ku are all virtuous people, and they can be appointed by Shangjun. What's wrong with them?" The knight was stunned and said angrily: "They have all been killed on the battlefield!!" Lou Chang frowned, looked at King Zhao, and said, "Shangjun...this..."

A hint of heartache flashed across King Zhao's face, and then shook his hand and said, "On the battlefield, fighting for life, Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people with a weak force. I am already very happy. As for Lifu, I will die if I die! I have a talent like Ma Fuzi, so what if I have ten Lifu?!" Then Lou Chang chuckled and said, "Your Shangjun is right, that's the truth."

King Zhao looked at the knight with a smile and asked, "What else did Ma Fuzi say?"

The knight said again: "Although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, the casualties were very heavy. There was no way to drive the rest of the Yan people out of the country, so I asked me to come and ask Shangjun to send a group of knights to help Ma Fuzi drive the other Yan people out of the territory of Zhao State! In addition, he also hoped that Yu Xiang could notify the knights in Yunzhong to protect the people along the way so as not to be harmed by the defeated soldiers."

King Zhao nodded and said, "I understand." He looked around and asked, "Who would like to take two thousand knights to help Ma Fuzi?"

Lou Chang suddenly stood up and said, "I am willing to go."

"No!" Yu Qing said hurriedly: "The war you have experienced has never been victorious. What kind of face do you have to continue to lead the army? Let me go."

Lou Chang looked at Yu Qing angrily and said sadly: "I didn't make any contribution, but I got the kindness of Shangjun like this. This made me very uneasy. I just wanted to make up for my previous mistakes this time. How could you say that?" Yu Qing sneered and said: "I'm worried that your support will be unfavorable, which will ruin the current great situation."

"As a false image, you have to deal with many things. If you go to the battlefield, who should deal with major domestic affairs? Please trust me." Lou Chang said seriously.

Seeing the two ministers quarreled, King Zhao stood up helplessly, stopped the quarrel between them, thought for a long time, and then said, "Take Lou Chang as the general and Xu Li as the deputy general, go to help Ma Fuzi. After arriving at Bai Ren, you must obey Ma Fuzi's orders." Lou Chang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Xu Li stood up and bowed quickly. Yu Qing sighed and sat down slowly.

After the banquet, Yu Qing hurriedly stopped Xu Li and took him back to his mansion.

"Lou Chang is a villain who rebels. I am worried that he will deliberately delay the time and not go to rescue in time. Although Ma Fuzi defeated the Yan people, his troops should not be much left. The Yan people have no chief general, but there are still many soldiers..." Yu Qing frowned and said worriedly. Xu Li looked a little drunk. He smiled, stood up, and said, "Please rest assured, I will not allow such a thing to happen."

Just like Zheng Anping, who had been kind to him at the beginning, Fan Ju never met him. After becoming the confidant of the King of Qin, he immediately recommended him and lost his kindness. From then on, he was like a stranger to Zheng Ping'an.

Perhaps, when Fan Ju was wronged and pressed into a vassal, urinated and drowned on his body, and was insulted, all the feelings in his heart disappeared. The humiliation that could never be washed away made a cold-blooded monster who always puts interests first.
