In the palace, Zhao Kuo finally saw the serious King Zhao.

Lou Chang and Yu Qing sat on the right side of King Zhao, Zhao Bao and a meat ball were sitting on the left side. When he approached, he found that it was Dong Chengzi. Seeing Ma Fujun coming, the uneasiness on King Zhao's face dissipated a little. Lou Chang hurriedly stood up and smiled to pay homage to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo ignored his salute and had no idea to reply. Yu Qing smiled slightly and nodded to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo met and sat next to Dong Chengzi.

Zhao Bao smiled politely at him. Zhao Kuo didn't know him, but he also rejected his kindness and smiled back.

As for Dong Chengzi, he entered the palace because of Zhao Kuo. At this moment, he was very close to him when he saw Zhao Kuo.

After Zhao Kuo took his seat, King Zhao asked: "Do you already know about Lian Po's defeat in the war?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I just heard something, but I don't know anything in detail. I hope you can tell me." King Zhao looked at Yu Qing, and Yu Qing then told Zhao Kuo about this battle that took place in Shangdang.

Bai Qi mobilized more than 150,000 Qin soldiers, and the battle broke out in Changping, Zhizi, Xuanshi, Kui, Zhongmu and other cities.

Lian Po was defeated, leaving behind 40,000 corpses, withdrew from the Danshui defense line, and retreated all the way. The Qin people attacked a large number and sent troops from three sides. Zhongmu, the former capital of Zhao State, was all captured by Bai Qi. King Zhao was shocked, and the nobles of Zhao State were even more unbelievable. Now Lian Po is still organizing a new line of defense. The new line of defense is based on the Zhao Great Wall. The right wing connects Wu'an City from Lucheng to Zhao Great Wall, and the left wing is Lian Boyang, Ye, Pingyang, Anyang and other cities, all efforts to block Bai Qi's attack.

As for areas outside the defense line, they can only be temporarily abandoned.

Regarding Lian Po's act of voluntarily giving up a large tract of territory and directly leading the enemy to his doorstep, King Zhao said: You are a long valley.

The King of Zhao was very panicked. Anyone could see that the original battlefield was not in the territory of Zhao State, and it was also very far from Handan. The King of Zhao could not feel the powerful sense of oppression from the Qin people at all. He could continue to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain his talents. But now, the Great Wall of Zhao is very close to Handan, and the Great Wall of Zhao is the last barrier to protect Handan.

Perhaps it was the strong sense of oppression brought by the Qin people that made King Zhao particularly angry and criticized Lian Po. All the cities outside the Great Wall fell, which was Lian Po's fault! Bai Qi was eyeing him outside Handan, which was also Lian Po's fault. If he wanted to change all this, he had to replace Lian Po!

King Zhao's bright eyes stared at Zhao Kuo with anticipation, like a child who was expecting his parents to buy toys for him. Zhao Kuo was in silence. He had been studying the terrain seriously. He did not think that there was any problem with Lian Po's rearrangement after the war. After Danshui, there were mountains and no cities to rely on. The cities were too far apart and it was inconvenient to transport food and supplies. Lian Po abandoned those areas and established a new line of defense with the Great Wall as a means of relying on it.

"Ma Fujun?"

King Zhao spoke, breaking Zhao Kuo's thoughts. Zhao Kuo raised his head. King Zhao had walked to his side at some point. King Zhao grabbed his hand and said, "The State of Zhao has reached the most dangerous time. You are the only one who can save Zhao." Zhao Kuo frowned, but his ears were filled with the wailing sounds of the soldiers. He shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I am willing to serve as a general and repel the attack of the Qin people."

King Zhao was about to speak, but Zhao Kuo said again: "But General Lian Po cannot leave. I want him to serve as my deputy general. Also, I hope Lou Chang can follow me." King Zhao looked at Lou Chang beside him. Lou Chang widened his eyes, shook his head quickly, and said: "It is my honor to be able to go to war with Ma Fujun. However, I don't have that talent to defeat the enemy for you..."

"You are too humble, no one knows that you are both civil and military, and you are a wise man in Zhao. With people like you and General Lian Po following me, I will not be afraid of Bai Qi." Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and said seriously.

Lou Chang looked at King Zhao in fear and shook his head.

King Zhao smiled and said, "With a brave general like Ma Fujun, what else are you afraid of? Follow him!"

Lou Chang almost cried. If he wasn't there, I wouldn't be afraid!!

The worry on King Zhao's face finally dissipated. He waved his hand and said, "I want to show off Ma Fujun and Lou Chang for the banquet!!" The warriors seemed to have prepared for a long time. As soon as King Zhao spoke, someone started to move the cauldron. King Zhao smiled as usual. With Ma Fujun here, he was not afraid of the Qin people, but the ministers of Zhao State were not happy at this banquet.

Yu Qing lowered his head, Zhao Bao also looked worried, the flesh on Dong Chengzi's face was squeezed together, and even Lou Chang was also mourning at this moment.

Zhao Kuo did not plan to continue to enjoy the banquet here. He stood up and asked to leave on the grounds of preparing for the war. King Zhao walked to him drunk, grabbed Zhao Kuo's hand, and said seriously: "I heard that the general of Qin, Bai Qi, is a talented person. If you can capture him alive..."

"What did you say?" Zhao Kuo glared at King Zhao and asked coldly.

"I said..."

"I'll send Ma Fujun out!" Yu Qing hurriedly walked to Zhao Kuo's side, grabbed Zhao Kuo's shoulder with both hands, and took a lot of effort to pull Zhao Kuo out of the palace. Zhao Kuo just glared at the direction of King Zhao, and Yu Qing could hardly pull him out of the palace. After finally taking him out of the palace, Yu Qing sighed and said, "You are as strong as a slut, and you almost got into trouble."

Zhao Kuo's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were covered with blood. He stared at Yu Qing, "What did he say just now?"

Yu Qing sighed and said, "Your Highness is drunk, please don't blame me."

Ge and Di, who were guarding outside the palace, hurriedly walked to Zhao Kuo. Seeing Zhao Kuo so angry, Di was immediately angry. He asked, "Did King Zhao humiliate you?" As he said that, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the gate of the palace. Yu Qing pointed at him and screamed, "Stop this man quickly!!" Yu Qing couldn't help but give orders, Ge rushed forward and hugged Di tightly.

Di was not affected at all and still rushed towards the palace. Ge hung on Di like a child and was thrown by Di Ran. Several warriors from the palace rushed over and blocked Di's path. Di kicked the warrior in front of him with one kick, and fisted two bangs. The other two warriors also fell down. More warriors drew their short swords and surrounded Di in the direction.

"Stop it!!" Zhao Kuo shouted.

Di stopped, and Ge then landed on the ground. Ge coughed violently, and the beast almost killed him.

The beaten warriors all looked at Di in fear, covered their faces and slowly retreated. Di snorted coldly, then walked to Zhao Kuo, standing behind him, with a ferocious expression. Yu Qing looked at him and said in a panic: "You'd better discipline your disciples well... Such a reckless person will bring disaster to you." Zhao Kuo looked at him coldly and said: "I know very well who will bring disaster to me, and I don't need you to remind me."

Yu Qing didn't say anything else. He watched Zhao Kuo get on the carriage and gradually disappeared in front of him. He looked at the direction of the palace and finally sighed.

Sitting in the carriage, for some reason, Zhao Kuo felt very irritable. The words of King Zhao seemed to have completely ignited the anger in his heart. The strong wind kept slapping Zhao Kuo's face, which finally extinguished the anger. Zhao Kuo calmed down a little, sat in the carriage, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It was a good idea to capture Bai Qi alive.

Ge drove the car and asked, "Shaojun, is King Zhao still holding a banquet and drinking?"

Zhao Kuo did not answer.

Ge said with a smile, "It's really the most suitable time to drink. Now he doesn't drink it now, and I don't know if he can drink any more..." Before he finished speaking, a warrior rushed out of the roadside and stopped the carriage. Ge hurriedly pulled the horse and almost hit the man. He stopped the carriage. Ge was furious and pointed at the warrior and cursed: "If you want to die, go to the palace to drink. What are you doing to hit my carriage?!"

The warrior ignored Ge's questioning, looked at Zhao Kuo on the carriage, and asked, "Is it Ma Fujun's frame?"

"I was ordered to come and invite Ma Fujun to my head's residence."
