Ma Jun's blood immediately rushed to his head, he patted his chest, and said impassionedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, but I have a destiny, and I will die to serve you!"

"Happy!" Li Shimin was very happy and winked at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui then smiled and explained the purpose of his visit, and then said meaningfully: "This matter cannot be done unless a general with both wisdom and courage can do it!"

"Is General Ma willing to perform this extraordinary feat?"

When Ma Jun heard this, he almost looked up to the sky and laughed.

He is also a manly man, but he feels anxious when he sees others making meritorious deeds on the battlefield and being granted titles as marquises and generals, while he is stalling on his progress.

Now, the opportunity will finally come!

As long as he accomplishes this extraordinary feat, why should he worry that His Highness the King of Qin won't look down upon him?

They were all demoted by Xue Ju, so why can Lao Zhai be able to act like a marquis, but Ma Jun can't?

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Ma Jun immediately expressed his stance: "Everyone will find and punish these rebellious officials and traitors. So I went to look for the Prime Minister, pretending to have two minds, and find out the truth."

"Okay!" Xia Yu was overjoyed: "However, the general cannot go like this, it would be a little abrupt."

"Uh, what does the military advisor mean?" Ma Jun was puzzled.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Has General Ma ever heard of the bitter meat scheme?"

Ma Jun was also an alert person. He was instantly enlightened and slapped his thigh cheerfully: "Don't worry, military advisor! Ma is rough and thick-skinned. As long as we can win the trust of Xun Xiang, we will just call him."

"Okay, then let's do this tomorrow -"

Several people discussed in secret for a while, and after the plan was finalized, Xia Yu and the other two quietly left.

…

The next day, the three armies held a grand exercise.

Li Shimin inspected various armies and saw that Ma Jun's troops were not practicing well and their formations were scattered. He became furious and severely punished Ma Jun with thirty army sticks!
