Chapter Twenty-Three: Le Yi is old and can't eat

When Zhao Kuo and Li Mu came to the door of Le Yi's courtyard, a driver was driving, and after learning the identity of Zhao Kuo and Li Mu and the intention, he looked very respectful, and was not as arrogant as Tiandan's retainers, he took the two into Le Yi's courtyard, just walked in, Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, in the courtyard, there are a lot of grass targets, and there are feather arrows inserted in them, where is this courtyard, this is clearly the military school.

When Li Mu arrived, he was very excited, Le Yi almost represents the highest achievement of a general in an era, in Zhao State, no one does not respect him, especially as a Zhao person, his status is not known how many times higher than Tian Dan, Li Mu said those rumors about Le Yi, like a die-hard fan who is about to meet an idol, however, Zhao Kuo is much calmer, in his eyes, maybe Le Yi's status in history is not as good as the young man next to him.

"I've been here several times to meet General Le Yi, but... Every time I come here, I get scared and don't dare to go in. ”

However, when Li Mu really saw Le Yi, his heart sank, Zhao Kuo seemed to hear some broken sound, Le Yi is indeed a famous general, but the problem is that he became famous decades ago, and at this moment, he is too old, he is lying on the bed, his head is sideways, and his teeth are all gone, but there is not much hair left, and the whole person exudes a bad smell, which is the smell of decay.

Le Yi is old.

Lin Xiangru is only in his fifties now, and Le Yi is a generation older than him, lying on the bed blankly at the moment, his eyes are cloudy, seeing the two people who came, he looked a little happy, he shouted: "Zhao Hao? Did you come to see me with the robbers? As he spoke, saliva flowed down, and he didn't wipe it, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Kuo, who had already guessed that it might be such a situation.

People in this era do not live long, and Lin Xiangru's age is not big in later generations, but he is already in his twilight years, and the day is not safe, let alone Le Yi, who is even older than him? The rider on the side explained: "Please don't blame you, the general has been paralyzed in bed for a long time, he has a lot of time in confusion, little time in his sobers, and he can't recognize anyone coming... He may have mistaken you for a horseman. ”

He stepped forward to wipe the saliva from Le Yi's mouth, and then pleaded with a crying voice: "General, Ma Fujun and Qi Zheng have passed away for a long time, this is Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fu, and this is Li Mu, they are all young people with a good name in Zhao State, and they are here to meet you." ”

Le Yi asked in a trance, "Are they dead?" ”

"Yes, they're dead."

"Who died?"

"Horse service and horsemanship."

"Yes... They're dead. Le Yi nodded blankly.

Le Yi's appearance, not to mention going to war, is to live a normal life is very difficult, Zhao Kuo can understand the pain of King Zhao, obviously there are such famous generals, but they can't be used, Zhao Kuo slowly sat in front of Le Yi, Li Mu sat beside him, Zhao Kuo said: "General Le Yi, I am the son of Ma Fujun, I am called Zhao Kuo, this time I am here to see you." ”

"Zhao Kuo... Zhao Kuo...", Le Yi repeated it many times, as if he had just remembered his name, but asked him again: "Zhao... What the? ”

"Zhao Kuo."

"Zhao Kuo!" , Le Yi said his name accurately, suddenly, he was very happy, laughing hard, he remembered Zhao Kuo's name, and then he asked uneasily: "Why did you come to me?" He looked startled, and hurriedly asked, "Zhao Guo has an accident again??" ”

Li Mu looked at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed, and he said: "Please don't worry, Zhao Guo didn't have an accident, everything is fine, I just came to see you because I heard about your heroic achievements." ”

"Okay... Well, no one has come to see me in years, and they've forgotten about me. ”

"No one has forgotten you, not only now, but also in the future, no one will forget you, there will be many outstanding people, all of whom will compare themselves to you, and take this as the greatest honor, I think, even thousands of years later, there will be people who will remember that there was once a heroic general called Le Yi, and future generations will talk about your deeds and be proud of you." , Zhao Kuo said seriously, not like a consolation at all.

"You lied to me."

"You are a general who knows everything, and who can fool you? I'm telling the truth. ”

"Zhao Kuo... You are a very good person, but you don't want to associate with a person like the cavalry, who only talks about the art of war, he doesn't understand warfare. Le Yi said, glared at Li Mu, and continued: "Getting along with such a person, the benefits are not as good as the disadvantages. ”

Li Mu was a little stunned, and he hurriedly explained: "General Le Yi, I am Li Mu, not a robbery. ”

"I want to be back then...", Le Yi's eyes lit up, "Zizhi's villain launched a rebellion and attacked the king, and the Qi country did not help us pacify the traitors, but took the opportunity to launch an attack, captured the capital, killed the king, and wanted to destroy the Yan country, fortunately, I and the king repelled the Qi people, how can such a big feud not be avenged?" I led people and defeated all the armies of the Qi State, captured the capital of the Qi State, and destroyed the Qi State..."

"If it weren't... King Yan, he wants to kill me, I have long occupied the land of Qi for Yan, with the fertility of Qi and the bravery of Yan, and then three Jin! Where is there still the arrogance of the Qin people? He suddenly looked at Li Mu and scolded: "It's all your fault!" ”

My father wasn't even born at that time! Li Mu looked at Le Yi with some grievances, "General, I'm Li Mu, not a robbery." ”

Le Yi ignored him, and told a lot of interesting anecdotes, most of them were the wars he experienced in the past, Zhao Kuo did not feel a trace of impatience, on the contrary, he liked the stories that Le Yi said, Le Yi collapsed on the bed because of illness a long time ago, his friends have left, and no one will come to see him again, such a confused bad old man, he can't get any benefits when he sees it, what are you going to do when you come to see him?

Le Yi has never said so many words, nor has he been so happy, he has been smiling, he said: "Qi State, he was originally the country of the overlord, and now he also retains the foundation of the overlord, the land is vast, the population is large, and the weak country against the strong country cannot attack him alone, if he must attack, he must unite the Zhao State, the Chu State, and the Wei State to attack him together." ”

"General Le Yi, what you said is very right."

"Alas...", Le Yi suddenly sighed, he said with some sadness: "What I said is not right, the most difficult thing in the world is probably the general, if you lose, you can't save your life, if you win, you can't save your life, no matter which country you are, you can't tolerate an invincible general, Zhao Kuo, you must not win too many battles, otherwise the king will kill you." ”

The face of the rider on the side changed greatly, but Zhao Kuo was thoughtful, Le Yi's contribution in Yan Country was great, so he was expelled, Tian Dan's credit in Qi Country was not small, he was also expelled, and Bai Qi... Zhao Kuo thought about the feasibility of the matter, then stood up, bowed to Le Yi, and said, "Thank you, General, for your teachings, I know." ”

Le Yi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Kuo stepped forward and wiped the saliva from Le Yi's mouth, he said, "General, I won't disturb your rest, I will often come to visit you in the future." ”

"Okay, good...", Le Yi was very happy, after the driver sent Zhao Kuo and them out, Le Yi was also very happy and said to the driver: "Zhao Kuo and the cavalry are still coming to visit me, they said, they are still coming to visit me." ”

"Yes, General, that's what they said."

Le Yi was lying on the sickbed, as if he was thinking about when they would come again, and muttered something to himself with a smile, the driver wiped his tears, and asked, "Then why do we have to go out for a walk today?" ”

"No... No need. ”
