Zhao State returned to the coldest season again.

Fortunately, Zhao's heart was hot in this coldness.

The elderly, weak, women and children no longer have to face the cold alone. The young and strong returning from the battlefield seemed to burning fire, igniting one home after another. During the autumn harvest, King Zhao received a letter from Ma Fujun, hoping that King Zhao could reduce taxes from all over the country and give the people time to recuperate. This was the first letter Ma Fujun wrote to King Zhao. King Zhao was particularly excited after receiving the letter.

He summoned the ministers to discuss the matter proposed by Ma Fujun.

Now Wei Wuji has almost become a public enemy of his ministers and a "villain" in the palace of Zhao State. As long as he supports it, everyone will object. On the contrary, as long as he opposes it, everyone will support it. Although this behavior of using personal preferences as a standard to determine national affairs is puzzling, Wei Wuji likes it very much. Just like this time, as long as he angrily said a few words about Ma Fujun's proposals cannot be used, a group of people immediately refuted him and praised Ma Fujun's proposals to heaven.

In this way, Wei Wuji could soon frown, leave the palace angrily, return to the courtyard, and drink happily. The ministers cheered, delighted for their defeat of the villain and defending justice. They went to hold a banquet with laughter and celebrated their victory against Wei Wuji, and everyone was very happy.

With King Zhao's promise, the people of Zhao should be able to survive a good winter.

On this day, a carriage rushed towards Handan City in the strong wind. On the carriage, there was a middle-aged man full of dust. Even if he traveled for a long distance, he did not show any fatigue. He straightened his waist, raised his head, looked at Handan City in front of him, and saw a familiar face, hurriedly instructed the driver to stop the car, and then got off the car and walked towards the other party.

The person who came to greet him was Yu Qing. When he saw the visitor, Yu Qing smiled, bowed and said, "Jun Xu." The visitor was Xu Li. It took him more than half a year to rush back to Handan from the clouds. He had carefully investigated the situation in various parts of Zhao along the way. He did not tell anyone about the news of returning to Handan. The reason why Yu Qing knew was because he received a report from the officials in front.

Yu Qing is not too cold, but because he is irritable and hates evil, he has few friends in the palace. Just so happens that Xu Li is one of them. Xu Li was once recommended by Zhao She. He was not from a high background and his talent may not be as talented as Yu Qing, but he is upright and hates evil like hatred, which is very similar to Yu Qing. Perhaps it is because of this that the two of them become friends.

Yu Qing was not a person who was good at talking. After meeting Xu Li, he took him to Handan. However, Xu Li talked about what he saw along the way. A huge change was taking place in various parts of Zhao. The two of them talked like this and finally walked to Xu Li's doorstep. Xu Li invited Yu Qing in to visit him. Yu Qing was not good for him to come into the house on the first day after Xu Li's return and disturbed him and said goodbye and left.

Xu Li's wife and daughter didn't know what Xu Li was going back. They were sitting indoors and heard the knocking sound of the door. The wife walked to the door carefully, took a look at it quietly, and then hurriedly opened the door. Xu Li walked in with a smile.

The family reunion is naturally a thing worth celebrating. Xu Li is fine, but his wife and daughter have shed tears and asked about her well-being. After a long time of greeting, Xu Li asked in confusion: "Have you ever sent someone to propose marriage?" Xu Li's daughter immediately lowered her head, blushed, and couldn't speak, so she packed up the tableware and went out to wash. Xu Li's wife shook her head and said to Xu Li: "Ma Fujun seems not very willing."

Xu Li asked in surprise: "Is this what Kuo told you personally?"

"No, but I heard that he brought a woman and a child home, and I think he had a heart."

"No." Xu Li shook his head and said seriously: "But I will not do such a thing. The woman and the child should be the child of Tongze who died in battle. You can only help raise him." Hearing Xu Li's words, his wife still said with some concern: "Ma Fu is famous and well-loved by Shangjun. You insist on marrying your daughter to him. This will make people think that we are greedy for wealth and favored by the powerful."

Xu Li said helplessly: "This is a horse... it was something that the Malaysian servant and I had agreed to. When we fought together, the Malaysian servant was irritable, but he was very casual about us. He had a son and I had a daughter. He had an agreement with me to become a relative... It was not that I was greedy for anything, I just wanted to fulfill my promise to the Malaysian servant."

"If Kuo doesn't want to, I won't force him."

Xu Li rested at home for a day and went to see King Zhao the next day. King Zhao was very happy and warmly received him, and asked the ministers to come and greet him. Except for Wei Wuji, the other ministers were present.

......

King Han looked at Zhang Ping in front of him, his eyes full of despair. Zhang Ping sighed and said to him: "Please don't worry. I have sent someone to ask for help from Chu. Chu will definitely come to help us. I have also investigated the situation of the enemy. The army led by Bai Qi is only more than 10,000 people, which is not worthy of such fear. Now there are still 10,000 elite troops guarding Xinzheng, which can completely resist Bai Qi's attack."

"But no one can lead the troops...how can we resist Bai Qi?" King Han asked in fear.

Zhang Ping said seriously: "I recommend one person, and he can lead the troops for you."

"who?"

"Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County."

"How can a rebel be a general??" King Han was very angry and stood up and gasped. Zhang Ping looked at him and said, "General Feng Ting was unwilling to ced Shangdang to Qin, so he gave it to Zhao. He originally wanted to borrow the power of Zhao to fight against Qin with Han. King Zhao appointed Feng Ting as the Lord of Huayang, gave 30,000 yuan to the households, granted his county magistrate as a marquis, and gave 1,000 yuan to each household. The officials all received the title, but General Feng Ting was very sad."

"He did not go to see the messenger who came to reward him in Zhao State. He cried and said: I can't bear to sell the country's land as my own salary!"

"In the battle of Changping, General Feng Ting was the first to fight every battle, and was fearless and fought with Qin with Shangdang's Korean army... Now, he refused to enter Handan and still walked everywhere, appeased the exiled Korean people in various places, and helped them settle down. I heard that he looked at the direction of South Korea every day and could not stop. There was no general in South Korea who could command troops, so why didn't you order him to be invited back to South Korea?"

When King Han heard this, he was also a little moved, and then asked again: "Does he have the ability to defeat Bai Qi?"

Zhang Ping was stunned and fell silent.

The King of Han said irritably: "He can't defeat Bai Qi, what's the use of calling him over?"

Zhang Ping also said: "If Qin wants to destroy Han, it will not only send 10,000 soldiers. The purpose of Qin is to disintegrate our alliance and force Chu to send troops. I feel that if Chu goes through all his efforts to alliance with other countries, he will never sit idly by and watch Qin bully Han. Chu will definitely send troops. As long as Han can wait for Chu's reinforcements to arrive, he can repel Qin's invasion. When Zhao and Wei have recovered their strength, Qin will no longer dare to send troops to bully Han at will."

Zhang Ping analyzed from all aspects and accurately analyzed the ideas of Qin, Chu, and even Wei and Zhao, and came up with the most secure method. Zhang Ping and his father were not valued by the princes, because when they served as the Prime Minister of South Korea, South Korea was always defeated, both in diplomacy, internal affairs, and military affairs, they were all in a mess, so these two fathers, sons, and prime ministers were considered mediocre people with no talent.

How far has this prejudice reached?

It reached the level where even King Zhao didn't care about the two fathers and sons in South Korea.

But in fact, a horse that can travel thousands of miles falls into the hands of people who cannot ride it and does not raise it in the correct way, and the horse that can gradually become a mediocre horse and cannot find a place to display its talents.

King Han listened to Zhang Ping's analysis and gradually stopped panic. Suddenly, he smiled and sat in the upper position again, showing an unfathomable expression, and said to Zhang Ping: "I already have a way, no need to send someone to Chu for help." Zhang Ping widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly said: "If Shangjun's idea is to betray Chu, write a letter to Qin, and promise to withdraw from the alliance, then I ask you not to do this!"

The King of Han was very shocked. His thoughts were actually guessed by his ministers. What should I do? At that moment, he was full of fear of Zhang Ping, but Zhang Ping continued to say: "If you order to resist Qin and ask for help from Chu again, South Korea will have a chance, but if you betray Chu, Qin will not have another 10,000 people, but will directly destroy South Korea. By that time, no one will come to help South Korea."

King Han thought about it, but hesitated a little. After a long time, he said angrily: "It's all because of Mu. If he hadn't made his own decisions, there wouldn't be the disaster today!"

At that moment, Zhang Ping clenched his fists, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up. He sat up straight, looked at the King of Han in front of him, and said word by word: "If the King continued to hesitate at that time, now he was the destruction army of Qin. If the King chose Qin at the beginning, then if Qin sent troops to protect the security of South Korea, or invited you to visit Xianyang, who would you want to ask for help??"

King Han was furious and said to Zhang Ping: "Please don't forget the etiquette of treating the king!"

Zhang Ping took a deep breath, then calmed down, looked at the King of Han, and said, "My father, after four generations of kings, has been deeply favored by the monarch. I am now assisting you, and I dare not relax and do my best. South Korea's strength is not as strong as other countries. If you want to escape disaster, you must unswervingly follow a country that will not plot against South Korea in the short term. Chu can protect itself now, but there is no way to plot against South Korea..."

"Please give orders to General Feng Ting to return to South Korea to resist Qin and wait for reinforcements from Chu."

"What should you do if the State of Chu does not send troops?" King Han asked.

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "If that happens, please behead me and send my head to Xianyang, and tell the King of Qin that it was because of my bewitching that Han dared to resist Qin. After offering my head, as long as you bow to Qin, the people of Han can avoid disaster."

"How can I praise Qin?" King Han said angrily and immediately ordered.

First, at Feng Ting of Zhao State, he received the King of Han's order. The King of Han wrote very sincerely: The King of Han can understand your difficulties. Now South Korea is facing the disaster of destruction. Please return to South Korea, command the Korean army and resist Bai Qi's army. The Koreans tiptoed and looked at the road to Zhao State, waiting for the arrival of the general. On the same day, Feng Ting set out for South Korea, and he left his son to pay homage to King of Zhao.

His son returned all the rewards from King Zhao to King Zhao, and a letter from Feng Ting.

In the letter, Feng Ting first thanked King Zhao for his kindness, and expressed regret for not being able to repay King Zhao's kindness. He said: I am a general of South Korea and have enjoyed the respect of the Koreans for generations. The King of Han’s salary. Now South Korea is facing crisis. All I can do is accompany the Koreans to die. If I escaped the military disaster by chance, I will come to apologize to you in person. If I die on the battlefield, I will tie a rope to trip over your enemy for you.

King Zhao was very moved and wanted to reward his son, Feng Buhuo.

Feng Buhuo smiled and said to King Zhao: "Where is the father fighting on the battlefield in the world, but his son enjoys wealth? Please allow me to leave, I will fight to the death with my father." Feng Buhuo refused King Zhao's resoluteness, left Zhao State, and followed his father's footsteps to Korea quickly. King Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of merit does the King of Han have? Can such a righteous man fight to death for him?"

Wei Wuji told him, "They are not for King Han."

The Qin State's attack on South Korea was soon known to everyone. The King of Zhao was determined to help them, but the censor Zhao Hui advised him that the matter of the alliance was drafted by Chu State. Now, Qin State did not go to rescue the alliance despite the alliance, but waited for Zhao State to come to rescue. Even if Zhao State saved South Korea, this would be regarded as a favor of Chu State. What benefits could Zhao State get?

This made King Zhao hesitate, but Pang Xian told him: When Qin and Zhao were fighting, Chu also sent troops to rescue him. They never thought about the benefits of this war to them now. This is because they have a long-term vision. They want to get help from Zhao and jointly curb Qin. Now South Korea is in trouble. If Zhao cannot see the long-term and does not send troops to rescue him, who will come to save Zhao in the future?

King Zhao sighed, "I want to save you, but I have to have soldiers who can be sent?"

The soldiers who had just returned to their hometown after the war did not give them time to rest and then transferred them to fight, which was not OK.
