Wu'an City, is the northern gateway of Handan, is an important barrier of Handan, since the Qin people put the direction of attack on Wu'an City and Ge Xi, Zhao State has been particularly attentive to these two cities, first built a tall city wall, and then migrated a group of people, and strengthened the training of the people here... At this time, Wu'an City had already begun to be on guard, and General Lian Po led an army of 20,000 people to rush here.

General Lian Po looked a little irritable.

After entering the city, he immediately joined up with the local troops, deployed a defensive line, and then entered the city guard, which became the temporary camp of General Lian Po. And he hung a map on the wall, carefully analyzing the enemy's possible attack route, Lian Po was watching, a scout walked into the camp, met him, and said: "Wu Anjun is already less than forty miles away from Wu'an City... I don't know the exact number, but I know that he has a lot of cavalry, and we have more than 20 scouts captured by him. ”

Lian Po frowned, and his expression became even more solemn.

In the past, he was here to resist Wu Anjun of Qin, but he didn't expect that now, he would still be here to defend against Wu Anjun of Zhao... Li Mu, it's the other way around.

When he heard the news that Li Mu and Sima Shang led the border knights to kill Handan, Handan was very shocked. Li Mu is in Yunzhong County, Sima Shang is in Yanmen County, Tian Yue is in Dai County, Lian Po is in Handan County, Li Mu and Sima Shang combined, that is half of the troops of Zhao State, although these two places are desolate and sparsely populated, but the soldiers here have been fighting against the Hu people outside the Saiwai for a long time, and Li Mu has recently trained 100,000 elites...

This shook the government and opposition in Handan, and hurriedly dispatched Lian Po to defend against the enemy.

When Lian Po heard the news brought by the scout, he thought about it seriously, and lightly tapped his hand on the wooden case in front of him, and after a long time, Lian Po came back to his senses, and he said, "Prepare a chariot for me." The scout nodded hurriedly and left.

After a while, Lian Po got into the chariot, and then gave the order to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

The soldiers were very frightened and hurriedly dissuaded them. Because Lian Po was going to go alone, and he didn't bring any soldiers, which made the generals who followed him very afraid, if Li Mu took the opportunity to kill Lian Po, then how should they continue to resist Li Mu? There are only forty or fifty thousand soldiers in the city, and the combined strength of Li Mu and Sima Shang is probably able to gather 150,000 elites, but Lian Po doesn't seem to care very much.

"If I die, the second and third sons will stick to Wu'an City, waiting for Tian Yue's reinforcements, most of Li Mu's subordinates are cavalry, and it is not a simple matter to attack the city and pull out the village." , Lian Po commanded, and then sat on the chariot and rushed out of the city. The soldiers stood on the city walls and watched as the chariots galloped towards the north, while the generals continued to strengthen the city defenses.

Lian Po sat on the car, the warriors on the side played the banner of Xinpingjun, under the galloping car, Xinpingjun's flag fluttered in the wind, constantly making bursts of sounds, the driver of General Lian Po, looked solemn, and there was no fear on his face.... A dense fog of dust and the clear sound of horses' hooves gradually appeared in the distance, and Lian Po stood up, and the chariot stopped.

From the thick fog, out of a column of knights, these knights riding horses, all over the mountains, almost all the directions that Lian Po could see, there were knights are rushing in their own direction, these knights did not charge, just let the horses step on small steps, slowly forward, they played the banner of Wu Chengjun, Ma Fujun, the huge flag is also constantly flying and fluttering.

Lian Po looked at these knights seriously, they were very neatly arranged, the horses were walking side by side, there was no chariot, no food, and no foot soldiers, these people obviously also found Lian Po, but this did not slow them down, and even many knights and pointed their bows and arrows at Lian Po, the knights on both sides continued to advance, and they squinted at Lian Po, surrounding him in two directions to the left and right, and the knights in front of him stopped.

"Huh~~", all the knights drew their bows and aimed in the direction of Lian Po.

As long as they let go of their hands, Lian Po will die here, and the death is quite ugly.

But Lian Po's face was not afraid, he just looked coldly not far away, just in front of him, there were two young people walking side by side, also staring at him, those two, one is Sima Shang, the other is Li Mu, both of them are wearing military uniforms, Sima Shang's face is ugly, gritting his teeth, there is even a fierce light in his eyes when he looks at Lian Po, Li Mu is about to appear calmer.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and waved.

Suddenly, the knights around him put down their bows and arrows and did not aim at Lian Po again. Li Mu rode his horse and rushed towards Lian Po, Sima Shang also hurriedly followed, and the two of them galloped all the way and rushed to the front of the chariot. Sima Shang lema, roared loudly: "Are you here to write a war letter?!" Lian Po just looked at him quietly, with an indescribable gloom in his eyes, Sima Shang was promoted by him, followed him all the time, and was cultivated by him as a successor.

And now, Sima Shang aimed his short sword at Lian Po.

Lian Po looked at Sima Shang quietly, Sima Shang looked at him for a moment, then he couldn't bear to put down the short sword in his hand, he turned his head sideways, and said, "We are here to take revenge on Zhao Dan, please don't stop us." Lian Po looked at Li Mu at this time, this look, Lian Po was a little surprised in his heart, in his heart, Li Mu was still the reckless young man who cried and clamoured to go home to see his father.

But now, Li Mu seems to have changed as a different person.

He was covered with scars, even on his face, and there were all kinds of intertwined wounds, shocking, his eyes were very deep, there was no slightest fluctuation on his face, he bowed his head to Lian Po, and then asked calmly: "I want to know, where is Ma Fujun?" ”

"Ma Fujun has already left the Zhao State, and he is in the Qin State at the moment. The king of Qin kidnapped his family and forced him to rush to the state of Qin. ”

"But... That's not what I know. I heard that it was Zhao Dan who wanted to murder Ma Fujun's family, so Ma Fujun reluctantly left Zhao and rushed to Qin. Li Mu said seriously, slowly pulled out the short sword from his waist, and said: "I swore to Ma Fujun that I would fight with him all my life and never die behind him." I was not in Handan, so that the villain plotted to kill him, so that he suffered such a calamity. Someone has to pay for it. ”

"So what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to kill Zhao Dan and welcome Ma Fujun back."

"Then what if King Qin is unwilling to let him go?"

"Then I'll kill King Qin again."

"Hahaha~~", Lian Po laughed loudly, he looked at Li Mu in front of him, and said a little proudly: "How do you think that you can accomplish these things?" ”

Li Mu didn't speak, he looked around, and at that moment, the knights who were afraid of the surroundings raised their bows and arrows in their hands and roared, "Kill!! The shouting of killing resounded in the sky, and the horse immediately neighed, and the incorruptible driver was also a little moved at this moment, and finally a trace of fear appeared on his face. Lian Po looked at them, squinted his eyes, and said, "You want to use the Zhao people to kill more Zhao people." ”

"Do you think this is what Ma Fujun wants to see?"

Lian Po asked.

Li Mu did not answer.

Lian Po continued: "Shangjun did something wrong, I am even angrier than you, and my respect for Ma Fujun is no less than yours, but why did Ma Fujun leave Zhao State?" If he wants revenge, does he need your help with him? As soon as he gave the order, all the soldiers in Handan would obey his order and enter the palace. He just doesn't want to see civil strife, he doesn't want to see more people die for him. ”

"Did you know? When I found out that Shangjun was plotting to kill Ma Fujun, I wanted to kill him, but I couldn't... Because, I am from Zhao, and the country of Zhao has suffered a great disaster, and the biggest disaster is the departure of Ma Fujun. At such a time, what we should do is to protect the people of Zhao and let them survive, instead of killing each other and making them suffer greater disasters. ”

"Ma Fujun has always loved them."

"Me too."

"I won't allow you to cause civil strife in Zhao for revenge, this is my home, I will protect this place with my life, if you insist on revenge.... I'm right here, please kill me, and then wash Handan in blood, and see if Ma Fujun will cheer for your matter. ”

Li Mu's melancholy face suddenly appeared in his mind, his heart was entangled, his whole body was trembling, Li Mu shook his head, his face was pale, and he said seriously: "At the beginning, Yan Guo attacked Zhao State with an army of 100,000... The elite of Zhao State are all in the party, and the people are extremely desperate, it is Ma Fujun, with thousands of old and weak people, who defeated the Yan people and killed the chestnut belly..."

"Bai Qi attacked Zhao with the elite of Qin State, and no one in Zhao State could stop him, it was Ma Fujun... With the belief that he would die, he fought to the death and did not retreat, and repelled the attack of Bai Qi...."

"I don't understand, why such a person is not only not respected, but he is forced to leave his homeland...", Li Mu shook his head, he looked at Lian Po, and asked seriously: "If there is another Bai Qi to attack Zhao State, who do you say can resist him?" ”

"You can." , Lian Po looked at the knights around him.

Li Mu laughed, he shook his head, and said: "No, when I went with Ma Fujun to meet General Le Yi, General Le Yi told us not to win too many battles, and I didn't understand General Le Yi's words at that time... Now I understand, why did he say this, indeed, he can't win too many battles, isn't it much better to be a villain like Zheng Anping than to fight bloodily on the battlefield? ”

Lian Po frowned and didn't speak, Zheng Anping's matter was indeed the thing that Lian Po minded the most.

Mu Chang Li sighed, looked at Wu'an City in the distance, and didn't know what he remembered. Sima Shang on the side said irritably: "We are not here this time to talk about this with General Lian Po!" I'm going to Handan and ask our lord what kind of crime Ma Fujun has committed...", Lian Po glanced at him before saying, "Shang, don't be so impatient... I can see that you have only brought more than 10,000 knights, and you have not brought any food or grass. ”

"More than 10,000 people, if they want to break through Handan, it is impossible."

"Hehe, this is just the vanguard force, in Yanmen and Yunzhong, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops to mobilize."

Lian Po didn't speak again, looked at Li Mu, and said seriously: "Go back, don't make trouble, the stability of Zhao Guo is more important than anything else... The Zhao people have experienced enough suffering, don't bring them any more disasters, your duty is to protect these people, not kill them. You can hate him, but this is your home, and you can't ruin your hometown because of your resentment. ”

Li Mu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Ma Fujun definitely doesn't want to see such a thing."

Li Mu looked at Sima Shang on the side, and he said, "You can take them back." ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to Handan."

"Then let me hold on here..."

"No, you can go back. General Lian Po is right, Ma Fujun will not want us to do this. ”

............

When Li Mu followed Lian Po and came to the outside of Handan City, King Zhao was standing outside the city, waiting for them. When he saw Li Mu in the distance, King Zhao immediately stepped forward, Lian Po turned over and dismounted, but Li Mu did not do this, he just looked at the front calmly, without the slightest idea of getting off the horse, King Zhao walked in front of Li Mu, his face was not annoyed, he bowed down to Li Mu seriously.

"The widow mistakenly believed the rumors of the villain, please forgive me."

"The widow will never make such a mistake again, the widow will continue to implement Ma Fujun's changes, so that the people of Zhao State can live a better life, so that Ma Fujun's concept can be continued in Zhao State, this is what Ma Fujun is looking forward to, and it is also what Zhao people want, the widow wants to worship you as a fake, and you are responsible for these things...", King Zhao behaved very humbly, and admitted his mistake to Li Mu very sincerely.

Li Mu looked into the distance, he saw the cultivated land in the distance, the people who were busy on the cultivated land, those people lowered their heads, numbly walking in the fields, turning a blind eye to the grand occasion here, at the beginning, they were all gathered around, cheering enthusiastically...

Li Mu finally dismounted, and he looked at King Zhao in front of him.

"I'm willing to act as a fake, but it's not for you, it's for Zhao Guo, and it's for Ma Fujun." , Li Mu said seriously.

The faces of the ministers changed greatly, but King Zhao was extremely calm, he said with a smile: "The widow knows, please help the widow, and wait for the day when Ma Fujun returns." King Zhao led Li Mu and walked towards the city, and the ministers followed behind them without saying a word.

In the strong wind, a child in a thick coat watched Li Mu follow King Zhao away with some annoyance, and said to his playmates: "This Li Mu actually dares to treat his father like this... I'm going to make him regret it..."
