55 will fall

Li Mu suddenly fainted at the door of the main hall, which immediately caused everyone to panic! Come and check it out!

"Hurry up and call the Imperial Doctor's Order!" Guo Kai pretended to be in a hurry and shouted.

The imperial physician outside the palace was on standby, and immediately came over to check Li Mu's pulse!

The imperial physician stroked his gray beard, checked Li Mu's pulse, slowly stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Wu Anjun is fine!" I just drank on an empty stomach and fainted drunk. However, the old disease in the stomach has the risk of internal bleeding, so it is not advisable to move, and it is good to rest in the palace for a few days! ”

"What? Wu Anjun has a dark disease? Hurry up and carry it into the uterus, rest, and take medicine! Zhao Wangqian pretended to be nervous and ordered.

Wait for everyone to carry Wu Anjun into the side hall and let him lie on the bed. The imperial physician said: "Your Majesty, Wu Anjun is unconscious, he can't ask him, and he doesn't dare to use medicine indiscriminately!" The accompanying military doctor must be familiar with Wu Anjun's condition and can pass him to the palace for consultation. ”

"Come on, go to Wu'anjun's Mansion and send the military doctor over!" Prime Minister Guo was secretly happy and pretended to be anxious and ordered. He had bought a lot of money from the Western Regions to make people sleep, and he didn't have any medicine at all

Immediately, two chamberlains went to Wu'anjun's mansion.

Li Zuoyi returned to Li Mu's mansion, and was waiting anxiously, constantly sending people to the palace gate to wait for Li Mu's news.

When the two eunuchs said that Wu Anjun had a stomachache and wanted to call the accompanying military doctor into the palace to diagnose and treat him with the imperial doctor, all of a sudden the six gods were gone. Hurriedly summoned all the officers and accompanying military doctors to discuss!

Doctor Xue has been following Li Mu for more than ten years! said: "Wu Anjun's stomach disease, after my conditioning, has become a big turn, unless overworked, it is difficult to attack." How it is, you have to enter the palace to take a look! ”

"I think it must be Wu Anjun who was raped and killed, please take us in immediately, snatch Wu Anjun out, and then say, I'll see who can stop us!" Said one of the generals.

"Yes, let's enter the palace immediately and snatch out Wu Anjun!" The generals said one after another.

Li Zuoyi hesitated, he was usually used to Li Mu's orders, and he was never ambiguous in his execution, and if he wanted to make up his mind for a while, he had no bottom in his heart! After thinking for a while, he said to the two commanders beside him: "You two enter the palace with the military doctor, I will take everyone to prepare, if there is no news from the two of you after an hour, I will take someone to kill them." ”

The three of them came to the palace with two chamberlains, and the civil and military officials were still gathered outside the side hall, talking about Li Mu's illness. The three of them entered the side hall directly, and saw a imperial doctor and four palace maids waiting on the side of a couch, and it was Wu Anjun lying on the couch! The three of them hurriedly stepped forward to check, Li Mu's face was ruddy, and his breathing was steady! It's like you're asleep! Doctor Xue carefully examined Li Mu and said, "Wu Anjun did drink on an empty stomach, which caused stomach problems, but it was not serious. It's just that this coma is not like a coma, and there is no snoring when I am asleep, a little confused, and there are no signs of poisoning. You go back first, and report safety to your family, I'm here to watch, and I should wake up soon to see how things go. ”

The two thousand men quickly reported back to Li Zuoyi, and Li Zuoyi felt a little calmer. I only waited for the next day to send someone into the palace to visit Wu Anjun.

On September 20, Montenegro also rushed to the Qin and Zhao front with 18,000 men, and the general Wang Jian shogunate.

"Lieutenant Zhijin, Montenegro, was ordered by the king to lead 18,000 horses and infantry troops to the general's tent to listen to the order!" Entering the shogunate, Montenegro immediately saluted Wang Jian and reported.

"General Montenegro, I've wanted to see you for a long time! I didn't expect you to be so young that you can not only figure out the horseshoe, but also analyze the battlefield so well! You can stay in the shogunate and be a general! Wang Jian had a gray beard and was in good spirits, and enthusiastically introduced to the generals on both sides, "This is the Montenegrin general who invented the horseshoe, weizhen the Huns, and beheaded Manda Danyu." ”

"The general has won the award, I'm just lucky!" Montenegro said, and bowed his hands to the generals on both sides.

"Visiting the Malay report, Li Mu left the camp and returned to Handan to participate in the court meeting, and the generals asked for battle one after another, wanting to take advantage of Li Mu's absence to attack their defense line. General Montenegro, what do you think? Wang Jian asked!

"I don't think it's possible, and it's not necessary," Montenegro replied in his chest, "Li Mu is not here, now his subordinates are more careful, we have no chance to win if we go to fight!" Even if he can win, I think that Li Mu will return to Handan at this time, and Zhao Jun will be in chaos! As long as we stay where we are and wait for the warplanes, why do we need to go out of our way and increase casualties? ”

"General Montenegro, how did you conclude that Li Mu was in danger? The scout came to report, it was Li Mu and Guo Kai, who were as harmonious as Lian Po and Lin Xiangru! One of the generals asked unconvinced.

"Two people who are in the same boat, can cooperate to resist foreign enemies, and can reach the realm of peace, there must be a conspiracy!" Montenegro said. The plan of the court, Montenegro can't tell everyone.

"It's so decided, guard tightly, wait for the fighters! Speaking of fighters, Zhen Qinjian is here, I want to march the law! Wang Jian said.

No one in the generals will dare to fight anymore!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, although Guo Kai strictly ordered the hundred officials not to disclose Wu Anjun's illness, he quickly learned the details. Because of the chaos in Zhao State, he secretly made friends with Dun Weak, and there were not a few officials who wanted to take refuge in Qin. Suddenly he knew that Li Mu had fallen for Guo Kai's trick as soon as possible, and immediately ordered people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Guo Kai had poisoned and killed Wu Anjun!

Early the next morning, Wu Anjun's condition was discussed throughout the city! Handan was panicked for a while. Guo Kai had already prepared, on the one hand, he sent the Praetorian Guard to closely monitor Li Mu's 20,000 short soldiers, and on the other hand, he posted official documents everywhere, telling the people of Handan that Wu Anjun had just suffered a minor illness, and he was taken care of by the imperial doctor in the palace, and he had woken up, and he could return home in another day!

Li Zuoyi listened to the rumors, and his subordinates reported the content of the list. Immediately, the six gods had no master, so they had to send someone into the palace to visit. When the two saw Li Muru, they fell asleep and just changed their clothes. So he asked Dr. Xue how his condition was?

Doctor Xue looked at the two strong imperial doctors beside him and replied, "Wu Anjun is fine, I woke up last night, my stomach was bleeding a little, and I can't move." It would be nice to rest for a day or two! I don't sleep well, next time you come back, go to my room, there is a pack of tranquilizers in the small medicine box on the desk to help me bring in. With me and the two imperial doctors guarding here, Wu Anjun will definitely be fine! ”

The two commanders were rough people, and they didn't hear the hint of Doctor Xue, if they were a bit of a thoughtful person, they would definitely pay attention to seeing the two Imperial Doctors dressed as strong warriors. Return to Wu'anjun's Mansion and convey Doctor Xue's words to Li Zuoyi.

Li Mu's relatives used to be in Yunzhong County, and later moved to Yanmen County, because they had always been at odds with Guo Kai, and there were only dozens of slaves and maids in Handan's mansion here, so Li Zuoyi didn't even have anyone to consult. So he asked Doctor Xue's medicine boy to get the tranquilizing pill, and prepared to disguise himself as a junior officer in the afternoon and visit the palace in person!

After a while, the medicine boy came and said, "My master never has insomnia, there are no tranquilizing pills, I have checked this package of medicine in his medicine box, it is an antidote pill." ”

Li Zuoyi was thinking about something, but he didn't pay attention to it, so he took the pill, put it in his arms, and went to prepare. If it were another general, he would definitely guess Doctor Xue's hint that Wu Anjun was poisoned! It's a pity, Li Zuoyi is a fierce general who has no heart!

Li Muzhong is the lost soul that Guo Kai bought from the Hu people, and eating a little can make people fall asleep. Eating a little more will make people fake their death for a few days, and drinking some water will bring them back to life.

Guo Kai saw that Li Mu had become the meat on his board, and he didn't want to kill Li Mu, first, the Qin army was pressing, and Zhao Guo was indeed inseparable from Li Mu. The second is that if Li Mu dies in his hands, he will also be drowned by Zhao Ren's spit! The best way is to use the method of subduing Zhao Cong to subdue Li Mu.

As soon as the two visiting commanders left in the morning, he immediately detained Doctor Xue in secret, carried Li Mu to the Empress Dowager's palace, fed him twice the amount of fairy water first, and asked the maid to take him naked. Lying on a large bed covered with brocade quilts, there is another person on the bed, wearing tulle, looking extremely charming, it is a mixed-race beauty, the queen mother.

Li Mu seems to be awake but not awake, like a dream not a dream, like a fantasy, he seems to have returned to the energetic boyhood, in the grassland first met his beloved wife Xiao Taohong, Xiao Taohong is not only beautiful, the singing voice is more beautiful, it is her singing voice, so that the eighteen-year-old Li Mu Tao drunk, the two in the grass by the river again and again, love......

After lunch, Li Zuoyi changed into a thousand-commander battle armor, with the pills brought by Doctor Xue, and as soon as he entered the palace, he was immediately caught by the forbidden army with a big net. When Doctor Xue saw Li Zuoyi being arrested, he knew that something was wrong. Immediately asked: "Didn't the general hear my prompt?" Why did you fall into the net? ”

"Where is there any hint, they only asked me to bring you some tranquilizing pills, your apprentice said, only antidote pills! I brought it to you, and they took it! Li Zuoyi said.

"Can I still not know that it is an antidote pill? You're really brainless! Doctor Xue said.

"Are you trying to imply to me that the Admiral is poisoned? Why didn't I think of it at the time? Why don't you just tell them both? Li Zuoyi suddenly realized.

"I told them two things clearly, and when they left the main hall, the heads of the two of them were gone!" Dr. Xue sighed.

Li Zuoyi was remorseful, a pair of tiger eyes, already full of tears, gritting his steel teeth, eager to rush out and break Guo Kai's body into pieces!

It was getting dark, and the palace ladies lit the oil lamps! Li Mu slowly woke up, and he remembered that he had just fallen in love with his beloved wife Xiao Taohong, who had already passed away, several times, like a dream and like a reality! Suddenly, he felt a smooth naked body still on his body, squirming incessantly. I thought to myself, I'm dreaming again! Just now, I must have regarded which concubine as my beloved wife again! When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw that this house was extremely luxuriously furnished, neither my own military tent nor my own mansion! Where is this? He lifted the quilt and was about to ask the woman who was still on him! I looked at it through the dim light and woke up in shock! This woman is clearly a mixed-race woman advocating the queen mother!

Li Mu immediately pushed away the queen mother on his body, turned over and got out of bed, but he couldn't find clothes! I had to casually pull a piece of women's clothes to wrap my lower body, and asked angrily: "Queen Mother, what's going on?" ”

"What Queen Mother, the mourning family is your little pink!" The Empress Dowager leaned over to Li Mu again.

Li Mu knew that he had fallen into the way of others, and he was furious! "Smack!" With a slap, he slapped the naked Empress Dowager and fell on the bed, and scolded loudly: "You dirty prostitute, you dare to tarnish the name of Little Pink!" ”

"Good scolding!" Guo Kai saw everything in his eyes, and walked in proudly, with a few guards with knives, and he didn't look at the naked Empress Dowager! said with a smile: "Wu Anjun, so infatuated, so physical!" Guo Kai is so polite! ”

"Guo Kai, you big yin man, you dare to calculate me?" Li Mu scolded loudly, "What about King Zhao? I want to see King Zhao! ”

"Scold if you want! I, Guo Kai, have long been used to it! Guo Kai said, "Wu Anjun, don't hide it, the Queen Mother and King Zhao are just a tool of mine." As long as you cooperate with me, you are outside the Lord and I am in the Lord. Everything in this Zhao country, up to this supreme queen mother, down to the lowest female slave is yours, we cooperate and share everything in Zhao country together, how about it? ”

"Phew! I, Li Mutang, an eight-foot man, how can I be in the same league with you, a big yin person! Before Li Mu finished scolding, he suddenly rushed towards Guo Kai, his right hand was injured in his early years and could not be straightened, but his left hand was extremely agile!

Guo Kai was so frightened that he took a few steps back! The two samurai hurriedly drew their swords and rushed over!

Li Mu grabbed Guo Kai is void, smashed a fist on the head of one of the warriors, grabbed a sword with his hand, and with a wave of his left hand, the two strong warriors immediately fell in a pool of blood!

More Praetorian Guard warriors rushed in, and Li Mu slashed left and right, killing four more people at once!

"Li Mu, if you don't stop, I'll let you pierce your heart with ten thousand arrows." Guo Kai shouted. More than a dozen people came beside him, all of them holding crossbow machines and aiming at Li Mu!

Li Mu knew that he would not be able to escape death today! He said loudly: "Guo Kai, at the moment of the great enemy, you still dare to frame Zhongliang like this, the first king can't spare you!" ”

"Li Mu, listen to my advice, cooperate with me, and share the wealth! What I mean is what King Zhao meant! Otherwise, today will be your death! Guo Kai shouted, persuading Li Mu for the last time.

"You are not ashamed to speak out, and none of the big yin people dare to pretend to be King Zhao!" Li Mu scolded.

"Please King Zhao!" Guo Kai gave an order.

Zhao Wangqian and Zhao Cong walked in together! As soon as Li Mu saw the two of them, everything understood.

At this time, King Zhao did not have the slightest majesty, and hid behind Guo Kai and asked: "Wu Anjun, the widow treats you well, why do you want to rebel against the widow?" Pingyuanjun has already told the widow the truth! ”

"King Zhao, do you still look like King Zhao now? I knew you were so incompetent! I should have listened to them a long time ago, and I should have abolished you! I originally thought that you were the king of Zhao who was rightfully passed on to the throne by the previous king, Guo Kai took power, you are nothing more than young and ignorant, there is no big mistake, and you will become a generation of heroes when you grow up. Now I know that you are pro-government and just a puppet of Guo Kai. I regret not abolishing you! And you, Zhao Cong, the dignified prince of the royal family, what a hero your grandfather Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is, but you recognize this big yin man as your father? Zhao is about to die, what face do you have to meet your ancestors? ”

Zhao Cong lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Li Mu!

"Enough! Li Mu, one last question for you! To live or to die? Guo Kai shouted!

"Hahaha, I, Li Mu, have been fighting for Zhao for more than 30 years, killing countless enemies, but I am afraid of death? King Mourning, open your eyes and see! This is your favorite queen, prince, and prime minister you trust the most! After Li Mu finished speaking, he tilted his head, bit the tip of the sword in his hand, held the sword body with his left hand, and slowly forced, inch by inch! Up to the hilt of the sword, blood gushed upwards like a fountain! It took a quarter of an hour for the body to fall! Li Mu chose the most painful way to commit suicide and ended his life! Everyone present was moved! Pingyuan Jun Zhao Cong had mixed feelings at this time, picked up Li Mu's body, and cried bitterly. He cried Li Mu, and cried even more to himself. At this time, Zhao Wangqian had already wet his pants, and he was stunned in place, unable to move!

On the night of September 21, the earliest and largest snow fell in the Huaxia Mountains, and the goose feather snow fell one after another! The mountains were white, the earth was white, and the entire Zhao Kingdom soon became a white expanse.

At night, 30,000 Praetorian Guards secretly surrounded the short soldiers brought by Li Mu. In the name of King Zhao, it was announced that Li Mu and Li Zuoyi, father and son, had been executed for the crime of rebellion. The 20,000 short soldiers were leaderless, and all but a few officers committed suicide!

The next day, Guo Kai sent his confidant general Yan Ji to replace Sima Shang's Southern Route Army, which consisted mainly of 200,000 regular troops stationed in various counties in Zhao State, and was almost not influenced by Li Mu. As soon as Yan Ji announced the order of King Zhao, he smoothly took over. Sima Shang fled on the way back to Handan, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. The Middle Route Army consisted of 60,000 Li Mu's knight border troops and 100,000 soldiers from various counties, and the main commander was Li Mu's son Li Zuoche. Guo Kai asked Pingyuan Jun Zhao Cong to arrest Li Zuoche and take over the Middle Route Army. Li Zuoche received a secret report in advance, and fled into Dai County overnight with 60,000 elite cavalry troops through Yanmen to pick up the whole family. The 150,000 troops of the Northern Route Army were almost all Li Mu's elite border troops, and the main general, Uncle Le, followed Li Mu for many years. Guo Kai couldn't find a suitable general, so he had to send someone to take Uncle Le's family as a hostage to temporarily stabilize Uncle Le. Uncle Le's grandfather, Le Yi, has been in the country of Zhao for several generations since the Yan Kingdom, and there are more than 2,000 people in the family. Uncle Le had no choice but to block the news and hold the camp.

All the changes in Zhao State, Wang Jian soon received the news, and immediately summoned the generals of various armies to discuss. The generals grind their fists and prepare to kill!

After asking the marching Sima to synthesize all the information and report it to everyone in detail, Wang Jian said: "According to the current situation, the 150,000 strongest of the North Route Army of Zhao Guo, after the famous general Uncle Le, has followed Li Mu for many years and has been using old soldiers, so he can only still confront it, and cannot be attacked. In the Middle Route Army, after Li Zuoche fled north to Dai County, there were only 100,000 county soldiers transferred from various counties, and the 20,000 Janissaries brought by Zhao Cong, which was relatively strong. Weak, but Zhao Cong is also a tiger general, not to be underestimated, and the terrain is also the most dangerous, which is not conducive to attacking. The Southern Route Army was the 200,000 regular army of Zhao State, and it had fought many bloody battles with Qin, but Yan Ji's troops were far inferior to Sima Shang, and the terrain was relatively slow. I decided to start from the south first, and then outflank the middle route army and then encircle and storm Handan, after Handan is broken, the northern route army can surrender without a fight, and Zhao will die! What do you think? ”

"Obey the general's orders!" The generals answered!

"General Yan Han, order your troops to secretly go south to cooperate with Yang Duan and storm the Yanji army. The rest of the generals can make small feints to pin down the enemy. What other questions do you have? Please bring it up! ”

"If Li Xin is not generalized, he is willing to lead 80,000 elite horses, borrow the road from the north of Loufu, storm the junction of Yan and Dai two counties, and drive into the hinterland of Zhao State, which can attack the city and defend it, or destroy its grain route! The country of Zhao will be in chaos, and it will be defeated without a fight! Li Xin came up with an extremely bold idea.

"It's too risky! If you're not careful, you're in danger of being surrounded and annihilated! The generals expressed skepticism.

"This plan is feasible, after Li Mu's death, no one in the three-way army of Zhao State can be unified in command, and the land of Zhao is now very empty. If Li Mu was on an adventure, now that Li Mu is gone, he is very safe! Wang Ben said approvingly.

"This plan is very good, it can just echo the attack of the Southern Route Army, so that the north and south of Zhao cannot be taken into account! The Northern Route Army acted according to Li Xin's plan! Wang Jian agreed, "It's just that, the Northern Route Army only has 100,000 heavy cavalry left by Wang Ben, and the 150,000 elite border troops of Uncle Le alone are slightly insufficient!" ”

"General, 100,000 is enough to deal with Uncle Le's 150,000 army!" Wang Ben said!

"I want a complete victory, a miserable victory! Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 is not a victory, it is a defeat for Great Qin! If Zhao is captured, more than half of his 600,000 troops will be lost, when will the world be unified? Remember, a crushing victory is a defeat! Wang Jian said.

"General, I have not had a relationship with Uncle Le, and I have cut down the Huns together in the grassland, and the last general is willing to lead the people and horses of the headquarters to the north to listen to the order in front of General Wang Ben's tent. Find a way to recruit Uncle Le's department! Even if you can't surrender, you can disintegrate them! Montenegro said.

"Montenegro, what do you have in mind? Tell me about it! Wang Jian asked.

"Uncle Le's 150,000 border troops are Li Mu's descendants. As long as we vigorously publicize in their army that King Zhao and Guo Kai killed Li Mu, the army will inevitably be in turmoil! Li Mu fought against the Xiongnu for decades, and the heroic image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the Zhao people, and we can build a shrine for Li Mu in the north and vigorously publicize his contribution to the fight against the Xiongnu in China. His border army must hate King Zhao and Guo Kai to death. We can just sit back and wait for them to come and surrender! Montenegro said. He pulled out the treasure knife he was carrying and introduced: "This treasure knife is a sword that Li Mu has worn for more than ten years, and he gave the knife to the general when he was in the Xiongnu grassland, and instructed the general to take the Qin army to replace him in the north to attack the Xiongnu and protect China." Wei Jiang used this knife to cut off the head of Tou Mandanyu! At that time, I will personally enter Uncle Le's camp and say Uncle Le! ”

"Good! According to the plan of Montenegro, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also good. But enter the camp to persuade you to surrender, without the permission of this general, you can't do it without permission! Wang Jian said.
