Chapter 460
"Big win! Big win!"
The whole Handan has become a sea of joy.
When the good news of victory came back, countless people poured into the streets, cheering, jumping, hugging and crying with joy.
"Go to the front and win the war!"
"Swear to destroy the state of Qin! Avenge your father and brother!"
When Li Mu got the urgent move of King Zhao and returned to Beijing in triumph, what he saw was this scene.
"Go, general! Morale is available!"
Sima shangduan sat on a tall horse and watched the people spontaneously push their children into the army. He stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Mu nodded expressionless.
"The king won't change generals if he wins this big victory."
Sima Shang thought that Li Mu was worried, and the cunning men in the court were confusing King Zhao and comforted him.
"It's not a big victory. It's OK to change generals."
Li Mu's eyes flashed and said in silence.
As gainie judged, after Wang Jian's reinforcements arrived, there was a big war between the two sides. After each side had losses, Li Mu led his troops to retreat.
The main danger of the Qin army was saved, but in just one day, the death and injury were as high as 70000!
This is undoubtedly a victory.
But in Li Mu's view, it was not a brilliant victory.
Because the victory of this war was at the cost of scrapping the garrison urn, greatly reducing the defensive power and giving up this important place that the strategists must contend for. The soldiers were also crafty and scheming. With Wang Jian taking over, the Qin army would no longer give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Moreover, the counterattack of the Qin people also caused 20000 casualties of the Zhao army. Under such a one-sided suppression, this can be done, which proves that there is a great gap between the Zhao army and the Qin army.
Therefore, Li Mu doesn't care much about changing generals. It's time for peace talks.
By winning and forcing peace, not only can the state of Qin no longer want to win the city pool of Zhao, but also can force the state of Qin to cede land. Even if it fails, it can also stimulate their morale and let the Zhao people know that the Qin people are not invincible.
"Who can be an envoy to Qin?"
Now Li Mu is thinking about the envoys.
In the past, Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao completely, which can be described as the highest achievement of the envoy. Up to now, he Shi Bi is still collected in the Zhao palace. Unfortunately, Lin Xiangru is dead. It's not easy to want a wise and brave minister to make Qin to strive for the best interests of the state of Zhao.
There are also treacherous and cunning people like Guo Kai and Han Cang, who make trouble and obstruct in every way, so they have to guard against
"Aiqing! Let me wait!"
However, to Li Mu's surprise, as soon as he entered the Imperial City, he saw King Zhao leading civil and military officials waiting at the entrance of the palace and taking the initiative to welcome him.
"King!"
The generals were flattered, quickly knelt down and saluted, and said in a loud voice, "ministers and others do not live up to their mission!"
"Ha ha! Good! Good!"
The king of Zhao laughed and came forward personally, picked up Li Mu and patted him on the shoulder: "I don't know the power of a general until now. Fortunately, it's not too late. If kings and officials know each other, it will make me prosperous!"
"King!"
Li Mu was excited and bowed down again.
Will be outside, your life is not affected. This sentence seems powerful, but it is full of helplessness.
Which general doesn't want to be trusted by the king?
Like Li Mu, when he used to guard the border and rival the Huns, he adopted defensive tactics. The king of Zhao of the previous generation transferred him back to scold and made others replace him. As a result, those replaced generals were defeated by the Huns and could not farm and graze on the border. The king of Zhao had to ask Li Mu to take the post. Later, he was able to defeat the Huns.
In history, when Li Mu was ordered in the face of danger, there was nothing the state of Zhao could do. Even so, he ended up being killed. I'm afraid what he longed for most in his life was the trust of the king.
Now, trust comes.
Li Muhu's eyes were hot and full of excitement.
At this time, Guo Kai also came forward and bowed and saluted: "there were many offenses in the past. I hope the general will be more forgiving!"
Li Mu nodded slightly.
"I'm looking forward to your generation. This is Guo Kai's strong recommendation. It can be seen that you are all loyal to Zhao. I'm very relieved!"
King Zhao laughed again and was as happy as a child: "go, go to the banquet with the widows!"
Everyone was jubilant at the celebration banquet.
Although the military despises Guo Kai's appearance of being courteous before and after, since this person has changed to support Li Mu, it doesn't need to be really hard against him. Even Li Mu has a drink with Guo Kai to clear up his past grievances.
The banquet atmosphere reached a climax. King Zhao looked at Li Mu, who seemed to be the center: "Li Mu raised a sergeant and will conquer the war. I have named him king Wu'an. What do you think of Aiqing?"
Once this is said, there is silence in the field.
Wu'an's martial arts rule the world and have prestige and peace of mind. They first came from the Western Zhou Dynasty. They can get this title. For generals, it can be described as the highest honor and are destined to be famous in history.
But the key is that every Zhao will remember a person's name——
White!
He is also Wu'an Jun!
At this time, King Zhao granted Li Mu as the king of Wu'an. Is it a simple reward or something else?
"Thank you, king!"
Li Mu's face changed slightly. He felt uneasy and attended Shane.
"Aiqing..."
King Zhao waited, but did not wait until Li Mu vowed to destroy Qin's lofty words and ambitions. He was dissatisfied and took the initiative to say, "you have nothing to say?"
Li Mu was silent for a moment and slowly said, "remember your love and expectations!"
"Well, Aiqing is a doer. I'll tell you clearly!"
The king of Zhao suddenly stood up, took the wine bottle and held it high from a distance: "in the Changping war in the past, all the men in Zhao were killed and injured. They can only buy bribes to destroy the promise and cowardly act and protect the country. This tone and hatred have been held in my heart until the war, but it is not enough, not enough. Li Mu, king of Wu'an, took the order!"
"I'm here!"
Li Mu half knelt.
"Do you have confidence that I will hand over all the 200000 soldiers of Da Zhao to your commander and go west to destroy Qin?"
King Zhao looked at him hotly.
The generals, including Sima Shang, were also overjoyed when he said this. The king finally identified loyalty and treachery and granted the general full power.
Good! That's great!
"Your majesty! I have no confidence!"
However, the next moment, when Li Mu's answer sounded, everyone was stunned.
"What are you talking about?"
King Zhao couldn't even believe his ears.
"King, in the battle of Changping, China's state of Zhao suffered too heavy losses. In just 20 years, it is not enough to recover its vitality and it is difficult to destroy the Qin Dynasty."
Li Mu knew what he said would cause great disaster, but he had to uncover the bloody scars on the occasion of national celebration.
Now the state of Zhao is like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness. He has reluctantly fought with Qin? It's like hanging an old birthday star. I'm tired of living!
Not to mention that the state of Qin has Wang Jian who is not under him, even if they are all cadres like Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun, the state of Zhao can't win by relying on the 500000 troops of the state of Qin alone.
Even generals who use their troops like gods can't change their national strength!
Swallow an elephant with a snake and kill yourself!
"Mr. Wu'an, you don't have to be too modest. I'll ask you again. Do you have the confidence to wash away the shame and revenge for Zhao?"
But king Zhao couldn't hear it at all. He gnashed his teeth and spoke word by word.
Turning your face is like turning a book.
The warm smile that had just disappeared was replaced by thunder and anger.
"Dare you ask Wu An Jun!"
Guo Kai even asked, "the civil strife in the state of Qin is incompatible with the monarch, and Zhao can't seize the opportunity to defeat it. If the iron cavalry of the state of Qin makes a comeback in the future, how should we deal with it?"
Li Mu opened his mouth and was speechless.
That's right.
If the peace talks are held this time, when there is no civil strife in the state of Qin and the king of Qin is in power, after several years of cultivation and interest, can Zhao resist the next attack?
No!
After the defeat of Changping, if the state of Zhao wants to really recover its vitality, it must take more than two generations, that is, about 40 years, but at that time, the state of Qin is bound to become stronger.
So if you wait, you'll end up drinking poison to quench your thirst, going to war immediately, and drawing cakes to satisfy your hunger
decide on what path to follow?
When Li Mu hesitated, Guo Kai made up his last blow: "king, if you have no confidence in Wu'an, I recommend general Lecheng!"
"So..."
Wang Zhao's eyes showed disappointment.
"Your majesty! I have confidence!"
As a last resort, Li Mu finally answered. There were only four words, and each word seemed to be of great importance.
"Good!"
King Zhao was satisfied, drank the wine and said excitedly, "I'm in Handan, waiting for the news of the triumph of the army!"
Li Mu silently returned to the table and made up his mind: "even if I am accused by thousands of people and become a sinner, I must lose the next World War. Zhao Guo must not continue to go crazy in the joy of victory!"
……
……
"Rare guest! Why did you come here?"
At the Xianyang prime minister's residence, LV Buwei introduced Gu Cheng into the hall. The host and the guest sat down and talked happily, as if a disciple had switched to the Empress Dowager and the defection had never happened.
"There are two things here."
Gu Cheng smiled: "the prime minister should know that now Zhao has a 200000 army and handed it over to Li Mu, the king of Wu'an, to attack the land of Hexi."
"Kill yourself!"
LV Buwei sneered: "King Zhao was dazzled by victory. If Li Mu has the ability to shock the world, how can he defeat my 500000 army?"
"Of course."
Gu Chengxi nodded: "but I want to ask the prime minister to write a letter to let General Wang Jian feign defeat and let Li Mu continue to win."
LV Buwei was stunned and stood up suddenly: "the childe's intention is to take advantage of this war to destroy Zhao?"
Everyone wanted to unify, but no one, including Ying Zheng, king of Qin, was prepared to destroy the state of Zhao. It just ended with Cheng's life and death. I never thought that this man's request was more above the king!
"And the state of Yan!"
Gu Cheng's face was calm: "the unification of the great Qin Dynasty has become a trend. The difference is whether it is to destroy the six countries nonstop, or to go north first and then south, step by step. I want to choose the latter. What do you think of the prime minister?"
In the original history, it took less than ten years for the state of Qin to destroy the six countries. It is indeed powerful and arrogant, but the future trouble is endless.
Therefore, Gu Cheng's plan is to unify the north and completely digest the land of Yan and Zhao. Ten years later, it will destroy Wei and Chu from north to south. Only after the unification of the world can there be long-term stability!
"This son is really..."
LV Buwei was silent for a moment and tried to suppress his palpitation: "let me think about it. What else can I do for you?"
"The two sons of the prime minister have evacuated Xianyang under the protection of the snare?"
Gu Cheng turned his eyes to the outside of the hall. It seemed that there was no change. In fact, many prime ministers were deserted: "is Zhao Gao credible?"
"You!"
LV Buwei suddenly changed color and the Tiger stood up.
"Zhao Gao is not mine, but he is not yours."
Gu Cheng's indifferent words made LV Buwei spin around and squeeze out two words from his teeth: "king?"
"You don't want to retreat in a hurry. Once you fail, you will inevitably be covered all over the door."
Gu Cheng said, "whether to commit suicide by taking poison and die silently, or whether the wind and clouds are stirring and have to go through the whole process, please make a choice. This is the second thing I've come here."
