Fu Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "We often clash with Ma Jian'en's people, fighting seven or eight times a day is normal. But it's all hand-to-hand combat. Initially, Chunyu Ding would come to watch, but later he couldn't be bothered. Although there was quite a commotion today, he probably wouldn't know you killed Ma Jian'en."
Zhao Hanzhang found this reason too far-fetched, "My eight thousand troops came thundering over, such a big stir, and his scouts couldn't detect it?"
Fu Zhi was amused by her and felt a bit of the heaviness in his heart lift. He explained, "Ma Jian'en is overbearing; this is his defensive line. Chunyu Ding wouldn't dare to cross over and frequently spy on this side. Moreover, he knows I won't have reinforcements and lacks the courage to break through..."
